Because the ordinary reinforced concrete sleeper has poor bending resistance and is easy to crack, the prestressed concrete sleeper is formed after gradual improvement. The traditional prestressed sleeper contains the steel bar for applying prestress during pouring. After pouring, the steel bar loses the tension and tends to be rolled up, which applies stress to the concrete sleeper, so that the concrete sleeper has good crack resistance. However, the overall concrete material still causes the deficiencies of the bending resistance and fatigue resistance of the concrete sleeper. Meanwhile, the rail is generally fastened on the concrete sleeper by bolts, which is easy to loosen under the impact of train load for a long time, and even causes the rail to deviate, which affects the stability of train operation.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.
[0027] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present embodiment provides a reinforced concrete sleeper, which comprises a concrete sleeper 1, the two end faces of the concrete sleeper 1 are provided with rail slots 12, the concrete sleeper 1 is provided with a cage 2 and prestressed steel strands 4, the two ends of the prestressed steel strands 4 penetrate through the concrete sleeper 1, and the two ends of the prestressed steel strands 4 are connected with anchorage devices 5 abutting against the two ends of the concrete sleeper 1; the two ends of the concrete sleeper are provided with frames 7 on the sides of the two rail slots 12, the upper ends of the frames 7 extend out of the end faces of the concrete sleeper 1, and the upper ends of the frames 7 are detachably provided with top plates 8 abutting against the side edges of the wheels.
[0028] Principle details of the present embodiment:
[0029] The reinforced concrete sleeper comprises a concrete sleeper 1, a cage 2 made of steel bars, prestressed steel strands 4, frames 7 made of high-strength metal, and top plates 8 made of high-strength metal.
[0030] The shape of the mold cavity of the mold for manufacturing the sleeper is the upside-down shape of the sleeper, i.e., the bottom wall of the mold cavity is the top wall of the sleeper. The two ends of the bottom wall of the mold cavity are provided with protrusions, so that after pouring, the rail slots 12 for mounting the sleeper are formed on the end faces of the concrete sleeper 1. The two ends of the bottom wall of the mold cavity are provided with embedding grooves 6, and the upper ends of the frames 7 and the embedding grooves 6 are regular shapes, such as rectangular shapes in the top view. In this way, the frames 7 are conveniently positioned after being embedded, and the frames 7 will not deviate during pouring and affect the structural position after pouring and forming, and a flat base is provided for mounting the top plates 8. In addition, the upper ends of the frames 7 are embedded in the embedding grooves 6, and after pouring is completed, the upper end faces of the frames 7 are exposed, which is convenient for mounting the top plates 8.
[0031] In the production, the top end of the frame 7 is embedded into the embedding groove 6, and is embedded by hammering. Then the cage 2 is arranged in the mold, the prestressed steel wire 4 crosses the mold, and the prestressed steel wire 4 is taut by the hydraulic tensioning machine at both ends. Then the concrete slurry is poured, so as to be integrally formed with the cage 2, the prestressed steel wire 4 and the frame 7 into the concrete sleeper 1. After pouring, the anchorage device 5 is arranged at both ends of the prestressed steel wire 4, and the anchorage device 5 abuts against both ends of the concrete sleeper 1, so as to tautly fix the prestressed steel wire 4. Then the formed concrete sleeper 1 is lifted and transferred. The top plate 8 can be directly installed on the top wall of the frame 7 after the concrete sleeper 1 is stably arranged, or the top plate 8 can be installed after the concrete sleeper 1 is fastened on the track and the rail 11 is fastened on the concrete sleeper 1.
[0032] According to the above technical scheme:
[0033] The prestressed steel wire 4 is taut by the pretensioning method, the prestressed steel wire 4 is taut to give the concrete sleeper 1 a concave taut trend, the trend counteracts and neutralizes the sinking trend of the concrete sleeper 1 after bearing the load, so that the concrete sleeper 1 is not easily deformed, the fatigue resistance of the concrete sleeper 1 is enhanced, and the stability of the rail 11 installation and the running safety are improved. The cage 2 arranged in the concrete sleeper 1 can improve the strength of the concrete sleeper 1, and avoid the concrete sleeper 1 being too brittle and cracking after bearing the load for a long time. After the rail 11 is installed, the rail 11 is arranged in the rail groove 12, the rail 11 is limited by the rail groove 12, and the rail 11 can be further limited by the abutment of the top plate 8, so that the rail 11 is doubly limited, even if the fastening bolt or the like of the rail 11 is loose, the rail 11 will not be easily deviated temporarily, and the probability of accidents is reduced. The top plate 8 and the frame 7 are detachably connected, so that the top plate 8 can be replaced after being deformed under stress. The frame 7 and the concrete sleeper 1 are integrally poured and formed, which can improve the connection tightness and will not easily separate, and will not damage the structural strength of the concrete sleeper 1.
[0034] In the embodiment, preferably, the frame 7 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the two rail grooves 12, so that the top plate 8 abuts against both sides of each rail 11, and the limitation is improved.
[0035] In the further embodiment of the embodiment 2, the screw rod 9 is welded and fixed on the upper end of the frame 7, the through hole for the screw rod 9 to pass through is arranged on the top plate 8, and the nut 10 abutting against the end face of the top plate 8 is screwed on the screw rod 9.
[0036] The principle details of the embodiment are as follows:
[0037] After the concrete pillow 1 is poured, the upper end of the frame 7 is exposed, providing a mounting base for the top plate 8. A common detachable installation method is bolt fastening. Therefore, in this embodiment, since the frame 7 is a metal component, the fixing screw 9 can be directly welded to the upper end of the frame 7. The top plate 8 is V-shaped, and a through hole for the screw 9 is provided on the horizontal part of the top plate 8. After the screw 9 passes through the through hole, the nut 10 is tightened, and the nut 10 abuts against the end face of the top plate 8, thereby fastening the top plate 8 and achieving a detachable connection. The thread between the screw 9 and the nut 10 has self-locking properties to prevent the nut 10 from coming loose. Preferably, tightening a double nut 10 can enhance the anti-spinning performance.
[0038] Example 3, a further embodiment of this solution, refers to the appendix. Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the connection between the top plate 8 and the frame 7 is provided with a slot that mates with the upper end of the frame 7. The through hole that mates with the screw 9 is located in the center of the slot. During installation, the screw 9 is inserted into the through hole, the slot is fastened to the upper end of the frame 7, and the upper end of the frame 7 abuts against the top plate 8. Compared to relying solely on the screw 9 for blocking, this method reduces the stress load on the screw 9, avoids deformation of the screw 9 after long-term use, and also reduces the need for replacement after the screw 9 is damaged or deformed.
[0039] Example 4, a further embodiment of this solution, refers to the appendix. Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the front of the frame 7 is I-shaped. After the concrete is poured, the groove 6 is also I-shaped. The lower side of the frame 7 is flared, which, in combination, increases the tightness of the connection between the frame 7 and the concrete pillow 1, preventing the end face of the concrete pillow 1 from loosening and causing the frame 7 to fall off.
[0040] In Example 5, a further embodiment of this solution, baffles 3 are welded and fixed to both ends of the reinforcing bars of the wire mesh cage 2, and the baffles 3 are embedded in both ends of the concrete sleeper 1. During pouring, the baffles 3 are embedded in the end faces of the concrete sleeper 1. The baffles 3 on both sides increase the tightness of the connection between the wire mesh cage 2 and the concrete sleeper 1, preventing lateral displacement; at the same time, it also facilitates the provision of protrusions on both ends of the mold cavity for placing the wire mesh cage 2.
[0041] In Example 6, a further embodiment of this solution, the prestressed steel strand 4 is provided in multiple forms, with at least two, to ensure sufficient prestress.
[0042] In Example 7, a further embodiment of this solution, the vertical cross-section of the concrete sleeper 1 is trapezoidal. This increases the load-bearing capacity and strength of the concrete sleeper 1 base surface.
