Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of railway sleepers, and more specifically, relates to an elastic sleeper structure. Background Art

[0002] A sleeper is a concrete structure located beneath a railway track, supporting the track and bearing train loads. It maintains the correct position of the rails and transfers the pressure of the train to the trackbed and subgrade, ensuring the stability and safety of the rails. Currently, to reduce railway vibration noise and ensure stable load-bearing between the sleepers and the trackbed, railway sleepers have elastic cushions on their lower surfaces to absorb the impact of passing trains on the trackbed. However, traditional sleepers are typically rigidly connected to the rails placed on their upper sides. The impact load of a passing train directly acts on the sleepers through the rails. The lack of a buffer structure between the sleepers and rails causes compression at both ends of the concrete sleeper, resulting in structural bending and deformation. Long-term impact and extrusion can cause cracking in the concrete at the center of the sleeper, damaging the sleeper structure and reducing its service life. Utility Model Content

[0025] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an open groove running through from front to back is provided on the upper side surface of the railway sleeper 2 near the left and right ends, and a slide groove is provided on the left and right groove walls of the opening groove of the railway sleeper 2. A circular hole groove is provided at the center of the bottom of the opening groove of the railway sleeper 2, and a spring 11 is welded to the bottom of the circular hole groove of the railway sleeper 2. The spring 11 elastically pushes and supports the buffer block 7 at the top. When the train wheels squeeze the rails 4, the spring 11 supports the buffer block 7 through the elastic force to buffer the impact.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there are two groups of buffer blocks 7, and the left and right sides of each group of buffer blocks 7 are provided with protruding ear plate structures. The two groups of ear plates of the buffer block 7 are respectively embedded in the sliding grooves of the left and right groove walls of the opening groove of the railway sleeper 2, so that the rail 4 pushes the buffer block 7 to move downward vertically, and the vertically placed spring 11) stabilizes the force buffering of the buffer block 7. The upper side of the buffer block 7 is provided with a groove, and the rail 4 is embedded in the groove to prevent the rail 4 from shifting left and right. Threaded holes are provided on the left and right sides of the top of the groove of the buffer block 7, and the spiral spike 6 is screwed into the threaded hole of the buffer block 7. In the process of the spiral spike 6 penetrating into the threaded hole of the buffer block 7, the nut of the spiral spike 6 pushes the flat washer 12 to squeeze the iron pad 5 fitted with the bottom end of the elastic bar 10, so that the two groups of iron pads 5 squeeze the rail 4 into the groove of the buffer block 7.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the support plate 1 is made of high-strength steel plate, and the support plate 1 is a concave structure. Triangular plates are provided on the inner side of the concave structure of the support plate 1 near the left and right ends. The structural stability of the triangular plates enhances the stability of the concave structure of the support plate 1, thereby ensuring that the support plate 1 made of high-strength steel plate provides structural shaping support for the railway sleeper 2 made of concrete, thereby improving the structural strength of the railway sleeper 2 and preventing the railway sleeper 2 from being damaged by compression and bending.

[0028] In the disclosed embodiment, the elastic base pad 3 is made of polyurethane rubber, and a large number of convex strips are arranged evenly spaced from left to right on the lower side of the elastic base pad 3, so that the lower side of the elastic base pad 3 forms an uneven surface structure, which can increase the friction between the elastic base pad 3 and the roadbed, prevent the railway sleeper 2 from sliding laterally on the roadbed under force, and ensure the placement stability of the railway sleeper 2 on the roadbed.

[0029] In the disclosed embodiment, the buffer pad 8 is made of rubber material, and an arc-shaped protrusion structure is provided on the upper side of the buffer pad 8. By utilizing the arc-shaped protrusion of the buffer pad 8, the buffer pad 8 can be better compressed and deformed when impacted by the buffer block 7, and cooperate with the spring 11 to absorb more energy and effectively disperse the impact force.

[0030] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0031] When the utility model performs elastic buffering work on the sleeper, when the wheels of the train pass the rail 4 placed in the groove on the upper side of the buffer block 7, the gravity impact load of the train squeezes the rail 4 downward. After the rail 4 is compressed, it pushes the buffer block 7 to move vertically downward along the slide groove of the groove wall of the opening of the railway sleeper 2. At this time, the buffer block 7 pushes the spring 11 welded on the lower side. The spring 11 reduces the impact energy of the train on the buffer block 7 through the elastic force. When the lower side of the buffer block 7 contacts the arc convex structure on the upper side of the buffer pad 8, the rubber material buffer The pad 8 performs elastic deformation buffering on the buffer block 7, reducing the impact energy of the buffer block 7 on the railway sleeper 2. When the train wheel leaves the rail 4 placed in the groove on the upper side of the buffer block 7, the spring 11 pushes the buffer block 7 to move vertically upward along the slide groove of the opening groove wall of the railway sleeper 2 until the upper side of the ear plate on the left and right sides of the buffer block 7 contacts the baffle 13 and the lower side of the support plate 1 respectively. At this time, the buffer block 7 drives the rail 4 to return to its position, completing the elastic buffering work between the sleeper and the rail, reducing the impact pressure on the sleeper, and improving the service life of the sleeper.

[0032] All of the above components are mounted, connected, or arranged using conventional mechanical methods, such as welding, threaded connections, and screw connections. The specific structures, models, and coefficients of all components are proprietary technologies, and any method that can achieve the desired effect may be employed.
