AI Technical Summary
The existing mountain rack and pinion railway has low gear and rack meshing accuracy, resulting in severe vibration and wear when the train moves in a serpentine manner. In addition, the installation and maintenance costs are high and the noise is loud.
The pin gear assembly with ball joint structure adaptively meshes with the toothed rail, and is combined with rubber damping pads to reduce friction and vibration. The use of the pin gear assembly ensures that at least 2 to 3 rollers mesh with the toothed rail, increasing the reliability of force transmission and wear resistance.
It improves meshing accuracy, reduces vibration and wear during train serpentine movement, lowers noise, simplifies installation and maintenance, and enhances system stability and durability.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a mountain rack railway's gear rack system with high meshing precision, which can effectively reduce the meshing vibration amplitude, knocking sound and wheel wear of gear rack when the train is in a snake-like motion, and belongs to the field of mountain rack railway gear rack manufacturing. BACKGROUND
[0002] CN209958160U, named "rack structure of rack railway", includes a gear installed on the train axle, a rack fixed on the railway sleeper and meshed with the gear; the gear has 19 teeth, a module of 40mm, a pitch circle diameter of 760mm and a thickness of 50mm; the rack has a module of 40mm, a tooth width of 42.14mm, a tooth slot width of 36.97mm and a thickness of 50mm; the gear and the rack are in a positive displacement meshing structure, with a displacement coefficient of 0.25, a gear center to rack pitch line distance of 770mm, a tooth tip height coefficient of 1, a tip clearance coefficient of 0.25, a tooth root corner coefficient of 0.33 and a coincidence degree of 1.8801. The disadvantages are: first, the meshing precision of the gear and the rack is low in the small curve radius area of the line; second, the meshing of the gear and the rack is greatly affected by the snake-like motion of the train and the wear of the wheel; third, the installation of the rack on site and the maintenance in the later period are difficult and costly; fourth, the knocking sound and vibration caused by the meshing of the gear and the rack are large. SUMMARY
[0003] Design purpose: to avoid the disadvantages in the background art, design a mountain rack railway's gear rack system with high meshing precision, which can effectively reduce the meshing vibration amplitude, knocking sound and wheel wear of gear rack when the train is in a snake-like motion.
[0004] Design scheme: in order to achieve the above design purpose, the utility model adopts a pin shaft gear assembly installed on the train wheel axle and a rack fixed on the railway sleeper and meshed with the pin shaft gear assembly. The pin shaft gear assembly adopts a ball hinge structure, which can realize the self-adaptive meshing of the pin shaft gear assembly and the rack. The cross section of the rack adopts a traditional steel rail cross section type, which can be fixed on the supporting sleeper of the mountain rack system running steel rail by standard fasteners.
[0005] The circumferential surface of the driving inner gear in the driving pin shaft gear assembly is designed as an arc-shaped circumferential surface. The arc-shaped circumferential surface can be regarded as a combination of arches. Since the arc-shaped circumferential surface is a combination of arches in all directions, the force can be evenly dispersed in all directions at any location of the arches. This is the same as the characteristics of the arch under pressure. Therefore, when the arc-shaped circumferential surface of the driving gear outer ring is tangent to the circumferential surface of the driving gear inner ring, the contact area is reduced, the friction coefficient and the wear amount are greatly reduced, and the carrying capacity of the driving gear is greatly improved.
[0006] Technical solution: A gear rack system of mountain rack railway, comprising a sleeper, a rubber damping pad, a fastener assembly, a rail, a wheel, a wheel shaft, a rack and a pin shaft gear assembly, the pin shaft gear assembly is installed on the wheel shaft and the pin shaft gear assembly adopts a spherical hinge structure, and the pin shaft gear assembly is self-adaptively engaged with the rack.
[0007] Compared with the background art, the pin shaft gear adopts a spherical hinge structure to realize self-adaptive engagement of the pin shaft gear with the rack, ensure reliable force transmission, not only can meet effective engagement of the gear with the rack in a small curve radius section, but also can avoid influence of train snake motion, wheel wear and environmental temperature; the pin shaft gear can ensure that at least 2-3 pin shaft rollers are always engaged with the rack, has good derailment prevention and wear resistance, and will not produce intertooth backlash in forward and reverse directions; the rack has large longitudinal bearing capacity, meets longitudinal force demand generated by driving when the train runs on a ramp; the roller of the pin shaft gear assembly smoothly rolls on the rack tooth surface, will not produce knocking sound, and also reduces vibration, and the lower part of the rack can adopt existing mature technologies such as rubber pad to realize vibration and noise reduction; the rack structure is convenient for factory manufacturing, on-site installation and later maintenance and repair; and the problems of low horizontal resistance of traditional strip-shaped sleepers in a small curve radius section and insufficient longitudinal stability of the track bed in a large slope section are obviously improved.
