Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rail transportation, in particular to a friction wheel rail supporting mechanism. Background Art
[0002] With the recent advancement of shield tunneling technology, tunnel diameters have gradually expanded from the 6-meter range of conventional subway tunnels to larger and smaller diameters. Shield tunnel construction with small diameters and steep slopes is increasing. Tunnels in areas such as coal mines, water storage facilities, oil and gas pipelines, and utility corridors have slopes exceeding 70‰. This presents a significant challenge for transporting materials inside and outside the tunnel during construction.
[0003] For tunnels with a slope of more than 50‰, conventional tunnel traction locomotives are difficult to operate safely. One solution is to use a dual-power traction locomotive with a drive unit, combined with a three-track track to complete the material transportation task inside and outside the tunnel. The so-called three-track track refers to an I-rail for friction wheels set between two conventional steel rails. The I-rail can generate power for the friction wheels and generate friction braking when clamped. Therefore, there are high requirements for the support of the above rail system. Currently, in shield tunnels, for example, patent CN116695493A discloses a track structure in which the support member used for the central drive rail is relatively high, and the center of the sleeper is concave. There is also a lack of effective connection between the shield tunnel and the track, which poses a great challenge to the stability of the track.
[0004] Based on this, those skilled in the art are in urgent need of a friction wheel rail supporting mechanism that can provide high stability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a friction wheel rail support mechanism based on the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art. The friction wheel rail support mechanism arranges a first type of curved sleeper and a second type of curved sleeper at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the shield tunnel, and uses longitudinal bolts and connecting joints to achieve effective fixed connection of the first type of curved sleeper, thereby achieving stable support for the rail and the friction wheel rail.

[0009] The first steel structure cavity is enclosed by an arc-shaped bottom plate, side plates arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped bottom plate, and a flat top plate erected on the top of the side plates on both sides. Four spaced-apart stiffening plates are also arranged between the flat top plate and the arc-shaped bottom plate, two of which are arranged directly below the two wing plates of the H-shaped steel.
[0010] The second steel structure cavity is enclosed by an arc-shaped bottom plate, side plates arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped bottom plate, and a flat top plate erected on the top of the side plates on both sides. Three spaced-apart stiffening plates are also arranged between the flat top plate and the arc-shaped bottom plate.
