Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway turnout welding technology, and more specifically, to a flash welding mechanism for variable cross-section steel rails. Background Technology

[0002] Existing mobile flash welding mechanisms are only suitable for welding conventional or channel rails. Typical structures are described in Chinese patent documents with application numbers 98105796.9, 98106266.0, 200910182212.5, 201020650427.3, 201110431236.7, 201310199232.X, and 201310314592.X. The mechanism's structure includes two pairs of clamps. The rail clamping mechanism has a clamping device and an upsetting cylinder at one end of the machine body, with the upsetting cylinder located in the horizontal plane of the rail web. The other end has a clamping device and a push-out cylinder. The clamping device includes left and right clamping jaws that are hinged to each other in the middle by a fixed central hinge shaft. The lower part of the left and right clamping jaws has relatively protruding left and right jaws, respectively. The upper ends of the left and right clamping jaws are respectively hinged to the two ends of the clamping cylinder. The central hinge shaft is fitted with a lifting bushing, and the lower part of the lifting bushing is fixed with a positioning block.

[0003] The problem with the above welding machine structure is that the clamp box is too wide, and the upsetting cylinder occupies the horizontal position of the rail web. In the railway turnout area, there are AT variable cross section rails. The characteristic of this type of rail is that it has a variable cross section, with the front end being a standard rail and the rear end being a lower asymmetrical rail. The clamp of the above welding machine cannot clamp the AT variable cross section rail, so it cannot weld the AT variable cross section rail. Utility Model Content

The spring is compressed and mounted on the mounting end and the outer electrode. The bolt is threaded onto the mounting end. When the abutment end abuts against the lower jaw of the variable cross-section rail, the spring lifts the variable cross-section rail so that the rail head tread of the variable cross-section rail abuts against the rail top block.
