Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of railway spring clip anti-corrosion tooling, and in particular to a spring clip zinc-dip-proof anti-hooking tooling. Background Art
[0002] Railway rails support and steer locomotives. They are secured to the trackbed sleepers by elastic fasteners. The clamping elements of these fasteners are primarily spring clips, which generate a clamping force on the rails through bending and twisting. This effectively ensures a reliable connection between the rails, maintains track integrity, and prevents longitudinal and lateral movement of the rails relative to the sleepers, ensuring a normal track gauge and thus ensuring safe rail vehicle operation. Furthermore, since the contact between train wheels and rails is rigid, vibration is inevitable. However, the unique elastic structure of the spring clips allows them to absorb the impact energy generated by passing vehicles, achieving a shock-absorbing effect. Spring clips operate under repeated alternating stresses, enduring bending, torsion, fatigue, and corrosion. They are also subject to extremely high transient impact loads from passing vehicles, placing stringent performance requirements on these clips.
[0003] The bending, torsion and fatigue resistance of the spring bars can be solved by selecting the corresponding steel grades and production processes, while corrosion resistance must be achieved by anti-corrosion treatment of the spring bars.
[0004] Sherardizing is a chemical heat treatment process that infiltrates zinc into the surface of the workpiece. Sherardizing the surface of steel parts can significantly improve the atmospheric corrosion resistance. After sherardizing the spring bars, the corrosion resistance of the spring bars can be significantly improved.
[0005] During the shearing treatment process in the shearing furnace, the spring bars are easily hooked together due to the continuous rotation of the shearing furnace, so that they are difficult to separate after shearing, and a lot of manpower is required to separate the spring bars.
[0006] To this end, our company has developed a tooling for spring bar zinc infiltration and applied for relevant patents with the announcement number CN215404461U, which includes a spring bar frame and a spacer. The spring bar frame includes a base plate, a penetrating rod, a nut and an upper plate. Three penetrating rods are arranged in a herringbone shape on the base plate, one in front and two in the back. Two support pads are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front penetrating rod in contact with the base plate. The top of the penetrating rod is provided with an external thread. The nut cooperates with the external thread at the top of the penetrating rod and is screwed on the top of the penetrating rod. Three through holes are arranged in a herringbone shape on the upper plate to allow the three penetrating rods to pass through. The spacer includes a circular ring and two butterfly wings, and the butterfly wings are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the circular ring.
[0007] However, in actual use of this tooling, it was found that the spring bar was tightly pressed on the spring bar frame, and the contact parts of the spring bar usually formed close contact. There would be no gap during the zinc infiltration process, which resulted in the zinc infiltration depth of the close contact parts of the spring bar failing to meet the requirements after zinc infiltration, resulting in weak parts and poor corrosion resistance. Utility Model Content
[0008] The present application provides a spring bar anti-hooking tool for sherardizing, which is used to prevent hooking of W-shaped spring bars during the sherardizing process. Each spring bar is equipped with an anti-hooking tool, which can make the gap at the opening of the spring bar smaller than the diameter of the spring bar, so that the spring bar cannot hook with other spring bars during the rolling process of the sherardizing process, thereby avoiding the spring bars from hooking with each other during the sherardizing process.
[0009] At the same time, the imitation hook-and-loop tooling of the present invention is not in close contact with the elastic bar, and no close contact parts are formed during the sherardizing process. No sherardizing weak parts are formed after sherardizing, and the corrosion resistance is greatly improved.
[0010] According to one aspect of the present application, an embodiment provides an anti-hooking tool for sherardizing spring bars, which is used to prevent hooking during the sherardizing process of W-type spring bars, including an anti-hooking tool body, wherein the anti-hooking tool body has a binding portion and a connecting portion, wherein the binding portion is arranged at both ends of the connecting portion or on the same side of both ends, and the binding portion alone or together with the connecting portion constitutes a closed hole, wherein the hole of the binding portion is used to encircle the two ends of the W-type spring bar, and the gap between the two ends of the W-type spring bar and the connecting portion is smaller than the diameter of the spring bar.
[0011] In some embodiments, the size of the closed hole on the tie portion is 1-1.5 times the diameter of the W-shaped spring bar.
[0012] In some embodiments, when the binding portion has a closed hole, the binding portion has longitudinal elasticity, which facilitates the binding portion to be passed through the two ends of the W-shaped elastic bar.
[0013] In some embodiments, when the binding portion has a closed hole, the connecting portion has the same longitudinal elasticity as the binding portion or the connecting portion has rigidity.
[0014] In some embodiments, the binding portion alone or together with the connecting portion constitutes a closed hole with an opening provided thereon.
[0015] In some embodiments, when the binding portion has a closed hole with an opening, there are three binding portions, two of which are arranged on the same side at both ends of the connecting portion, and the remaining binding portion is arranged in the middle of the connecting portion, used to encircle the middle of the W-shaped elastic bar, and the three binding portions are located on the same side of the connecting portion.
[0016] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the binding portion located in the middle of the connecting portion is different from the opening direction of the binding portions on the same side of the two ends of the connecting portion, so as to avoid the elastic bars of the imitation hook-connection tooling of the present invention from falling out from the openings of the binding portions at the same time in some cases, making the imitation hook-connection tooling of the present invention ineffective.
[0017] In some embodiments, when an opening is provided on the hole closed by the binding portion, the size of the opening is 1-1.5 times the diameter of the W-shaped elastic bar.
[0018] In some embodiments, when an opening is provided on the hole closed by the tie portion, the connecting portion has metal ductility.
[0019] According to the above-mentioned embodiment, a spring strip zinc-dip galvanizing anti-hooking tooling has a two-stage cylinder setting, so that when the cigarette pressing plate is packaging cigarette piles of different heights, it is always within a fixed distance range from the top of the cigarette pile, and the cigarette pile in the packaging process will not be scattered.
