This leads to insufficient connection strength and other problems, making the connection prone to loosening, deformation, or even failure under long-term train loads, thus affecting the safety and efficiency of railway transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new frog rail and fork rail connection method to improve its connection strength and overall performance.

[0037] The outward-protruding area enclosed by the second side 12, the third side 13, the fourth side 14, the seventh side 17, the eighth side 18, and the ninth side 19 of the center rail 1 is the waist of the center rail 1;

[0038] The area corresponding to the waist of the fork rail 2 and the center rail 1 is the waist cavity of the fork rail.

[0039] The fork and rail waist cavity fit tightly with the core rail 1 rail waist.

[0040] from Figure 2 As can be seen, the thickness of the third side 13 and the eighth side 18 of the core rail 1 is much greater than the thickness between the first side 11 and the sixth side 16 of the core rail 1. That is, the two sides of the middle part of the core rail 1 bulge outward, and correspondingly, the box-shaped cavity of the matching fork and rail waist is concave.

[0047] By reasonably designing the slope of the second edge 12, the fourth edge 14, the seventh edge 17 and the ninth edge 19, the contact length between the center rail 1 and the fork rail 2 is increased, thereby increasing the contact area between the center rail 1 and the fork rail 2, which is beneficial to more evenly dispersing the force generated during train operation, reducing local stress concentration, and prolonging the service life of the track.

[0048] In practice, the length of the inclined surface is determined according to the overall size of the center rail and the actual use requirement, and the surface roughness of the inclined surface is controlled within a suitable range to ensure the fit and friction force when matched with the fork rail.

[0049] Preferably, the left and right sides of the center rail are centrally symmetrical.

[0058] Preferably, the center rail 1 and the fork rail 2 can be made of U20Mn bainite steel or other bainite steel, and the fork rail can also be U75V. The center rail 1 and the fork rail 2 can also be made of other materials that meet the requirements of TB / T3467.

[0059] Particularly, the center rail 1 is formed by gradually reducing the thickness between the third edge 13 and the eighth edge 18 in the front and rear direction of the center rail, i.e., the length direction of the center rail, including the 1:4 or 1:3 inclined surface matching in the above-mentioned scheme, to form and achieve the wedge-shaped matching of the rail waist part of the center rail and the rail waist cavity of the frog rail.

[0060] Referring to Figure 3 The center rail and the frog rail matching structure is shown in the three-dimensional view. In the process of assembling the frog, the center rail and the frog rail are assembled according to the designed matching mode to ensure that the inclined surfaces are tightly matched. After the assembly is completed, the connection of the two can be further fixed by using bolts to form a stable center rail and frog rail matching structure, which is applied to the railway frog system.

[0061] During assembly, the inclined surface part of the center rail is slowly inserted into the rail waist cavity of the frog rail, and through accurate positioning and appropriate assembly process, the inclined surfaces of the two are completely matched.

[0062] Through the above-mentioned embodiments, the center rail and frog rail matching mode of the utility model can effectively improve the connection strength and meet the strict requirements of railway transportation on the performance of the frog.
