Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of anti-freezing and thawing settlement of railway roadbed, in particular to a bidirectional anti-freezing and thawing settlement device for railway roadbed in seasonal frozen soil areas. Background Art

[0002] In seasonally frozen ground areas, frozen ground disasters will cause uneven frost heave and thaw subsidence on the roadbed surface. In serious cases, it will endanger driving safety.

[0003] Currently, the main measures for preventing and controlling frost damage in existing railway subgrades include: replacement filling, physical and chemical methods, drainage and water isolation, and the frost damage pad slope method. The replacement filling method replaces the existing frost-heaving soil in the subgrade with non-frost-heaving soils such as coarse sand, gravel sand, and sand and gravel. This replacement method can prevent the subgrade from frost heaving. However, this method involves a large working area, a long time, multiple steps, and requires interrupting traffic. It is rarely used in actual frost damage remediation projects. The physical and chemical method involves adding certain substances (such as industrial salt) to the soil to change the interaction between soil particles and water, causing water migration in the soil and changes in its freezing point, thereby reducing soil frost heaving. This method is simple to construct, but requires annual autumn operations, is costly, has a short maintenance period, and causes pollution and corrosion to the environment, rails, and fasteners. The drainage and water-isolating method is a method for lowering the groundwater level, reducing the soil moisture content within the seasonal thaw layer, cutting off the water supply source, and removing surface water. In actual application, this method is difficult to drain the water from the roadbed, and it cannot achieve the corresponding function for frost damage in the cutting section, so it cannot achieve satisfactory results. The frost damage pad slope method is to insert bamboo or rubber pads between the rails and the sleepers to follow the slope when the roadbed is frozen. During the period of frost damage, the pads must be placed as they are raised. When the frozen soil melts, the pads are removed and removed as they fall. During the period of frost damage, the pads must be removed as they fall. This method is repetitive and difficult to complete in one go. The workload is very large and time-consuming.

[0004] In order to better solve the problem of frost damage to existing roadbeds in seasonally frozen areas, the invention patent with patent number CN105951553B discloses an existing roadbed anti-freezing damage device that can achieve bidirectional decompression and self-resetting. The device consists of a reinforced concrete box, a reinforced concrete movable plate, a spring group device, and a self-propelled anchor rod. The device has high strength and high rigidity. When buried in the soil, it can meet the roadbed's requirements for its bearing capacity and deformation. When the roadbed soil frosts and heaves in winter, a frost heave force is generated. The frost heave force pushes the movable plates on both sides to cause horizontal displacement, releasing the frost heave force in the roadbed, thereby reducing or eliminating the amount of frost heave of the roadbed. At the same time, the spring group device stores energy. When the roadbed soil melts in summer, the stiffness of the surrounding soil decreases. The energy stored in the spring group device in turn pushes the movable plates on both sides to squeeze the roadbed soil in two directions, increasing the stiffness of the soil and reducing the amount of thaw settlement. Repeating this process can effectively reduce or eliminate the frost heave and thaw settlement hazards of frozen soil.

[0005] However, the spring assembly of the device is exposed in the reinforced concrete box. When soil particles enter the reinforced concrete box, the spring assembly may become stuck and fail. Utility Model Content

The spring group device 4 includes a pressure rod 41, a sleeve 42 and a spring 43. The sleeve 42 is connected to the side wall of the box body 1. The pressure rod 41 is connected to the back of the movable plate 2 and is coaxial with the sleeve 42. One end of the pressure rod 41 is slidably inserted into the sleeve 42. The spring 43 is placed in a compressed state in the sleeve 42 and its two ends are respectively in contact with the end of the pressure rod 41 and the side wall of the box body 1. The box body 1 of the two sets of one-way anti-freezing and thawing devices is integrated with each other and the openings are arranged back to back.

[0031] The utility model protects the spring 43 by arranging the spring 43 in the sleeve 42 and the pressure rod 41, thereby solving the problem that the spring 43 becomes stuck and fails when soil particles enter the reinforced concrete box, resulting in the movable plate 2 being unable to reset itself. In actual use, grease can also be injected into the sleeve 42 to protect the spring 43 and prevent the spring 43 from rusting.

[0032] Specifically, the box body 1 includes a bottom plate 11, a top plate 12, a back plate 13 and two side plates 14, and the two side plates 14 are respectively vertically connected to both sides of the back plate 13, and the bottom edges and top edges of the back plate 13 and the two side plates 14 are respectively connected around the three edges of the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 12 to form a box body 1 with an opening on one side, and the back plate 13 is opposite to the opening of the box body 1.

[0038] Furthermore, rubber washers 7 are respectively pressed between the two reinforcing plates 131 and the back plate 13, so that a certain buffer distance is formed between the reinforcing plates 131 and the back plate 13, thereby increasing elasticity and further preventing the reinforcing plates 131 from being broken by the pressure of the spring group device 4; the rubber washers 7 are sleeved on the bolts used to connect the reinforcing plates 131 and the back plate 13, thereby fixing the rubber washers 7.

[0039] Furthermore, the edges of the two side plates 14 facing each other in each set of one-way anti-freeze heaving and thawing devices are respectively provided with stop plates 8 extending in opposite directions to limit the movable plate 2 and prevent the movable plate 2 from falling out of the box body 1 and causing failure of the device; the edges of the two stop plates 8 respectively abut against the sides of the two vertical plates 3, thereby preventing soil particles from entering between the stop plates 8 and the movable plate 2 and causing the movable plate 2 to get stuck or entering into the box body 1 from both sides and causing the movable plate 2 to be unable to reset itself.

[0040] Furthermore, the top edge of the movable plate 2 of each set of one-way anti-freeze heave and thaw settlement devices is in contact with the top plate 12, thereby preventing soil particles from entering the box body 1 from the top of the movable plate 2; the bottom edge of the movable plate 2 is connected to a retaining bar 9, and the bottom of the retaining bar 9 is in contact with the bottom plate 11, thereby preventing soil particles from entering the box body 1 from the bottom of the movable plate 2.

[0041] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include," "comprise," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device.
