DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Figures 1-4 It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0029] A welding type offset base plate structure for railway turnout, (as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The welding type offset base plate 9 is formed by axisymmetric splicing and welding of two identical (as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The cutting value of the casting or forging flat base plate 10 (as shown in Figure 1 before cutting is determined according to the offset values a, b of the double steel rail 11 and the angle value α of the double steel rail 11 (as shown in Figure 2 .

[0030] Compared with the ordinary welding type support spacing base plate structure, the whole strength is high, there is no risk of base plate welding-off and fracture, the welding workload is small, and the driving safety is high; compared with the existing casting or forging support spacing base plate structure, a large number of molds do not need to be developed, and the economic cost is greatly reduced. Therefore, the utility model effectively solves the technical problems of the welding-off and fracture risk of the support spacing base plate, the low overall structural strength, and the high manufacturing cost caused by excessive mold development.

[0031] In the above embodiment, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model: the welding type support spacing base plate 9 retains the original base plate fastener 14 before the cutting of the casting or forging flat base plate 10. That is, there is no need to additionally provide a base plate fastener 14, and the original base plate fastener 14 can continue to be used. The specific four fastener systems can more evenly distribute and fix the steel rails, reduce the displacement and deformation of the steel rails, and thus enhance the overall stability of the track. This stability is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of the train and the comfort of passengers. A stable track structure can reduce the risk of derailment caused by track deformation or displacement, and improve the safety of train operation. A stable fastener system can reduce the maintenance requirements caused by track deformation or loose fasteners, thereby prolonging the service life of the track and the fasteners.

[0032] In the above embodiment, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model: the welding type support spacing base plate 9 is provided with an axially symmetric base plate bolt hole 12 only on the outer side. That is, only the base plate bolt hole 12 on the inner side of the original casting or forging flat base plate 10 is cut off. This operation is simple, economical and practical, ensures reliable connection, and is easy to implement. The axially symmetric welding type support spacing base plate 9 is provided with a base plate bolt hole 12 only on the outer side, and the base plate bolt hole 12 on the outer side enables the bolt to act more directly on the base plate, reducing the stress concentration problem caused by complex structure, thereby enhancing the stability and carrying capacity of the connection part. The axially symmetric design of the base plate bolt hole 12 enables the base plate to more evenly transmit force when stressed, avoiding excessive local stress that may be caused by asymmetric design, and further improving the stability of the structure. The base plate bolt hole 12 on the outer side makes the installation process more simple, without the need for complex internal operation or special tools, reducing the installation difficulty and cost. Since the base plate bolt hole 12 is located on the outer side, the installer can more easily control the tightening degree and position of the bolt, reducing the problem of loose connection or looseness caused by installation errors.

[0033] In the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model: the weld 8 width of the welded support offset pad 9 is 5mm-8mm. Under the weld 8 width, by accurately controlling the weld width, the stress distribution between the pad and the track structure can be optimized, the crack or fracture risk caused by stress concentration can be reduced, and the strength and stability of the overall structure can be enhanced. The weld 8 of a specific width can ensure the close connection between the pad and other connecting components, improve the reliability and durability of the connection. Using the weld 8 of a specific width for welding is conducive to realizing the standardization and automation of the welding process, improving the production efficiency and the consistency of the welding quality. The reasonable weld 8 width can reduce the pores, slag and other defects generated in the welding process, improve the density and mechanical properties of the weld. According to different working conditions and load requirements, the appropriate weld 8 width can be selected to meet the specific use requirements; such flexibility makes the welded support offset pad can be widely used in various rail transit and engineering fields. By optimizing the weld 8 width, the consumption of welding materials and processing cost can be reduced while ensuring the structural strength, and the economic benefit can be improved. The weld 8 of a specific width is easier to be identified and evaluated in the subsequent maintenance and inspection process, and once the problem is found, it is easier to repair or replace.

[0034] In the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model: the support offset value a of the double steel rail 11 is 20mm-250mm; b is 20mm-250mm. In the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model: the angle value α of the double steel rail 11 is 0°-90°. The specific numerical range of the technical parameters a, b and α is used to adapt to different types of turnout products, expand the application range of the new type, and ensure the required technical effect.

[0035] In the above embodiments, as a further improved embodiment of the utility model: the welded support offset pad 9 has two sets of axisymmetric pad fasteners 14 corresponding to the double steel rail 11. The technical advantages of the two sets of axisymmetric pad fasteners 14 are the same as before, and will not be repeated.

[0036] In the above embodiments, as a further improved embodiment of the utility model: the fixed block 13 is arranged between the rail web of the double steel rail 11 and the base plate fastener 14. The fixed block 13 serves as a connecting medium between the base plate fastener 14 and the rail web, which can more firmly fix the rail on the base plate fastener 14, preventing displacement or loosening of the rail during operation. This stable connection mode helps to enhance the stability of the entire track structure, ensuring the smoothness and safety of the track when the train is running at high speed. The fixed block 13 can effectively distribute the contact stress between the rail and the base plate fastener 14, reducing the direct impact and wear on the rail web, thereby prolonging the service life of the rail. By arranging the fixed block 13, the friction and wear caused by direct contact between the rail and the base plate fastener 14 can be reduced, protecting the surface quality of the rail and reducing maintenance costs. When the fixed block 13 is made of insulating material, an insulating layer can be formed between the rail and the base plate fastener 14, improving the insulation performance of the track; this is particularly important for electrified railways, which can prevent electrical faults caused by electrical connection between the rail and the ground or other metal parts, ensuring the safe operation of the train. The design of the fixed block 13 can be adjusted and optimized according to specific working conditions and requirements to adapt to different line and speed conditions. The installation and maintenance of the fixed block 13 are relatively simple, and it can be replaced or adjusted without interrupting operation, improving the maintainability and flexibility of the track system.

[0037] In the above embodiments, as a further improved embodiment of the utility model: the fixed block 13 is L-shaped. The L-shaped fixed block 13 can provide a more stable connection effect due to its unique L-shaped design. This design allows the fixed block to closely fit between the base plate fastener 14 and the rail web, effectively preventing displacement or loosening of the rail during operation, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire track structure. The L-shaped fixed block 13 structure is relatively simple, which can more effectively distribute the contact stress between the rail and the base plate fastener 14, reduce the direct impact and wear on the rail web, protect the rail from damage, and thus prolong its service life. The design of the L-shaped fixed block 13 usually considers the convenience of installation, making the installation process simpler and faster; this helps to reduce installation costs and improve construction efficiency; when maintenance or replacement of the fixed block is required, the L-shaped design also facilitates disassembly and reinstallation, reducing the complexity and time cost of maintenance work. Although the initial cost of the L-shaped fixed block 13 may be slightly higher than that of ordinary fixed blocks, its long-term stability and reduced maintenance costs make its overall cost-effectiveness relatively low.

[0038] The utility model also claims a turnout, the turnout includes any one railway turnout welding type offset base plate structure, the turnout has double steel rail 11, namely the utility model is applied to double steel rail 11 turnout.

Figure 2 and Figure 3 At the welding position shown, the cut cast or forged flat plate C'6 and the cut cast or forged flat plate D'7 are symmetrically welded to form a weld 8; this operation has a small processing load, is simple and convenient to operate, and is easy to implement. Figure 2 As shown, the support value a, the support value b and the angle α are variable values. The support value a, the support value b and the angle α are different according to the rail type. Therefore, the finally formed welded support pad 9 can be used in most positions of the switch area and has a wide range of uses.

[0040] From the above description, it can be found that the overall function of the present invention is superior to existing structures, and the structure is simple. Compared with ordinary welded support pad structures, the overall strength is high, there is no risk of desoldering or breakage, the welding workload is small, and the driving safety is high. Compared with existing cast or forged support pad structures, there is no need to develop a large number of molds, which reduces costs.

In addition, the present invention can be welded on site, solving the problem of multiple track gauges that arise during design or installation.

[0041] In summary, the present invention addresses the technical problems of standoff pads, such as the risk of desoldering and fracture, low overall structural strength, and excessively high manufacturing costs due to the large amount of mold development. While retaining the overall strength of cast or forged pads, the present invention also eliminates the need for extensive mold development, significantly reducing economic costs.
