[0033] Specifically, the elastic strip 200 includes two elastic branches 201 arranged on opposite sides of the screw rod 22, the first ends of the two elastic branches 201 are connected into an integral structure and jointly enclosed into a middle ring for the screw rod 22 to pass through, and the second ends of the two elastic branches 201 are used to abut the rail leg of the rail 400 to press and fix the rail 400 through the elastic branches 201 after the turnout elastic strip fastening assembly 100 fastens the elastic strip 200 in place.
[0034] In the turnout elastic strip fastening assembly 100, the fastening nut 3 gradually increases in diameter of the circumscribed circle in the direction towards the base 1, that is, the outer periphery of the fastening nut 3 is provided in a tapered structure with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part, and a conventional wrench, sleeve or other tool cannot be clamped under stress, and a special tool needs to be used for disassembly and assembly, effectively reducing the risk of theft of the elastic strip 200 of the railway turnout, and better adapting to the lack of protection positions along the railway, thereby reducing manual patrol and improving railway operation efficiency and safety. Secondly, since the fastening nut 3 is provided in a tapered structure with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part, the bottom area is larger than that of a conventional nut, which can provide greater friction resistance and achieve better fastening effect, and is not easy to be affected by the wheel-rail interaction force and alternating load when the train passes through, so as to be self-loosened, so that the turnout elastic strip fastening assembly 100 can simultaneously play the effects of anti-loosening and anti-theft on the elastic strip 200, has simple and efficient structure, low cost, and can be directly installed and used without modifying the structure of the existing railway turnout, and has strong applicability.
[0035] As shown in Figure 6 The outer circle of the fastening nut 3 is provided in a regular pentagonal structure, which can make the opposite sides of the fastening nut 3 be asymmetric structures, and the opposite side of each plane on the outer periphery of the fastening nut 3 is an edge, avoiding clamping the opposite sides of the fastening nut 3 by a conventional wrench, further improving the anti-theft effect, and the regular pentagonal structure can cooperate with a special tool to form good stability and fastening effect, and the engagement angle can be easily found, facilitating disassembly and assembly. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the outer circle of the fastening nut 3 can also be provided in other polygonal structures other than hexagonal and square structures.
