Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of vibration and noise control of rail transportation, in particular to an embedded continuous support vibration reduction device for a rail system. Background Art

[0002] In the rail transit sector, fastener systems are commonly used to secure the spatial relationship between rails and sleepers, ensuring the correct track geometry, limiting vertical, longitudinal, and lateral displacement of the rails, providing support rigidity, and preventing rail tipping. Fastener systems must effectively maintain a reliable connection between rails and sleepers over a long period of time, fully utilizing their vibration damping properties under dynamic conditions to slow the accumulation of residual track deformation. Therefore, they must possess sufficient strength, durability, and elasticity. During operation, the presence of stress concentration in the rails and the vibration damping and cushioning properties of the fasteners are crucial for maintaining a good wheel-rail relationship and smooth operation.

[0003] Existing rail transit fastener systems mostly utilize discrete point supports, lacking the necessary, continuous support structure along the longitudinal direction of the track. This results in weak lateral stiffness, concentrated application points, discontinuous lateral stiffness, large lateral rail displacement, poor anti-overturning capability, and poor lateral stability. This discontinuous support structure leads to problems such as pinned-pinned resonance and high wheel-rail noise radiation in existing rails.

[0004] In contrast, there is no reasonable continuous support structure in the existing technology. If a continuous support structure is set on the existing sleeper, excessive vibration will accelerate the damage of the entire system, and the practicality is too low.

[0005] Due to the above reasons, in view of the above engineering problems, the inventors of the present invention have designed an embedded continuous support vibration reduction device for a rail system based on theoretical research and extensive investigations, in the hope of realizing the practical application of the continuous support structure through this device.

[0045] The present invention will be described in further detail below through the accompanying drawings and examples, through which the features and advantages of the present invention will become more clearly understood.

[0046] The word "exemplary" is used exclusively herein to mean "serving as an example, example, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise indicated.

[0047] The utility model provides an embedded continuous support vibration reduction device for a track system, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the vibration reduction system includes a support steel beam 2 arranged below the rail 1, and the support steel beam 2 is embedded in the track plate or sleeper 3. The track plate or sleeper 3 in this application is a prefabricated concrete beam, and its upper surface is provided with a groove 31 along the extension direction of the rail for accommodating the installation of the support steel beam 2. During construction, after adjusting the position, it can be directly laid on the base, which is simple to construct and highly efficient. The support steel beam 2 and the track plate or sleeper 3 can be prefabricated as a whole in the factory, or fixed and installed as a whole at the construction site.

[0048] The track plate or sleeper 3 in the present application is the supporting structure under the rails in the track system. It extends along the extension direction of the rails, so that a groove can be opened and the supporting steel beam can be installed. Before the groove is opened, its specific structural shape can also be consistent with any one of the following existing structures: concrete sleepers, longitudinal sleepers, trapezoidal sleepers, track plates, frame track plates, and floating plates.

[0049] The support steel beam 2 includes a top plate 21, a bottom plate 22 and two side plates 23 that are consolidated into one body; each plate of the support steel beam 2 can be made of steel plates and connected and fixed by welding.

[0050] The cavity is filled with damping particles 6, which are selected from one or more of iron sand, lead pellets, steel balls, and sand. The inventors have found that the preferred material order for the damping particles is: lead, steel, iron, sand, etc. The appropriate damping particles can be selected based on the required vibration damping performance and economic efficiency.

[0051] In the present application, preferably, the damping particles are approximately spherical in shape. The approximately spherical shape can make the vibration caused by collision with each other more irregular, and the overall vibration reduction effect is the best. More preferably, the particle size of the damping particles is 0.1-1 mm, preferably 0.2-0.4 mm; the multiple damping particles filled in a cavity may not have completely consistent particle sizes, as long as they are all within the specified range. The inventors found that when the particle size is controlled within the above-mentioned 0.2-0.4 mm, the overall vibration reduction effect is the best.

[0052] Vibration energy is consumed by the collision and friction between the damping particles 6 and the wall of the cavity 4, and by the collision and friction between the damping particles.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown in FIG, the side panels 23 extend upwards relative to the top panel 21 by a predetermined distance.

[0054] A support pad 5 is provided between the rail 1 and the supporting steel beam 2, i.e., the support pad 5 is sandwiched between the two side plates 23; the support pad 5 is a steel plate or an elastic pad, and has multiple models, each with different thicknesses and correspondingly different stiffnesses, so as to adapt to different working conditions;

[0055] By selecting support pads 5 of appropriate thickness, multiple rails are aligned at the same level. Furthermore, by selecting support pads 5 of appropriate rigidity to complement the overall vibration reduction system, the support pads 5 can be placed at the bottom of the supporting steel beam 2, so that the top of the side panels 23 is flush with the lower flange of the rail 1. This structural design allows the two side panels 23 to clamp the rail 1 on both sides, while the support pads 5 support the rail from below. Combined with fasteners and other limiting mechanisms, the rails can be completely secured in all directions.

[0056] In the present application, the main part of the side panel 23 is embedded in the track plate or the sleeper 3 along with the supporting steel beam 2, and a small protruding portion is located on both sides of the rail. This design allows the protruding portion to limit the lateral displacement of the rail, providing lateral rigidity and support for the steel pipe, ensuring that the lateral rigidity of the track system is large enough to ensure long-term stable operation of the track system.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the top plate 21, the bottom plate 22 and the two side plates 23 together surround and form a cavity 4. It should be emphasized that since the length of the supporting steel beam can be infinite and consistent with the length of the rail, no end plate is required; the top plate 21, the bottom plate 22 and the side plates 23 are sealed and connected to each other, preferably welded, so that the cavity 4 is a closed cavity, the interior of the cavity 4 is dry, and liquid is prevented from entering.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the support steel beam 2 is continuously installed on the track plate or the sleeper 3 along the length direction of the rail. Figure 1 As shown in .

[0059] A groove is provided on the upper surface of the track plate or the sleeper 3, and the support steel beam 2 is embedded in the groove;

[0060] The width of the groove is slightly larger than the width of the supporting steel beam 2, and the gap therebetween is filled with cement slurry or polymer sealing material. That is, after the supporting steel beam 2 is placed, the gap between the supporting steel beam 2 and the groove is filled and sealed with cement slurry or polymer sealing material.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing glue is provided between the support pad 5 and the rail 1, and between the support pad 5 and the support steel beam 2, which plays a sealing role. The rail 1, the support pad 5 and the support steel beam 2 are connected into a whole through the sealing glue, thereby transmitting the vibration of the rail 1 to the support steel beam 2, and feeding back the vibration generated by the support steel beam 2 to the rail 1.

[0062] Since the supporting steel beam 2 is equipped with a particle damping system, the phase of its vibration obviously "lags behind" the vibration of the rail 1, thereby achieving a phase difference in vibration, offsetting the vibration energy, and allowing the vibration of the rail 1 to decay rapidly.

[0063] Preferably, the volume of the damping particles 6 in the cavity 4 is 80-90%, preferably about 85%. The applicant has found that, based on the vibration characteristics of the railway system, a volume ratio of about 85% has the best vibration reduction performance and can maximize the vibration reduction effect.

[0064] The present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, but these embodiments are merely exemplary and serve only as illustrations. On this basis, various replacements and improvements can be made to the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
