Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track vibration reduction technology, and in particular to a track vibration reduction structure based on a metal vibration damping pad. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, rail transit systems generate vibrations and noise due to the impact of wheels on rails. Shock waves propagate through tracks, tunnels, soil, and ground structures, causing corresponding vibrations and negatively impacting the surrounding environment. Currently, rail vibration dampers on the market primarily use natural rubber and neoprene rubber as damping materials; however, these materials have the following drawbacks:
[0003] 1. Traditional rubber-based vibration damping materials are prone to aging and have a short service life. During the application of track vibration dampers, they are completely exposed to the outdoor environment. The extreme service environment makes rubber products prone to oxidation, which greatly reduces their vibration damping performance and increases the difficulty of maintenance and replacement.
[0004] 2. Traditional rubber-based vibration damping materials have a narrow applicable temperature range. The operating temperature range of ordinary natural rubber is about -60℃ to +80℃. In extreme high and low temperature environments, the vibration damping performance decreases and the mechanical property stability of the material is poor. At low temperatures, the rubber will transition from a highly elastic state to a glassy state and lose its elasticity. At high temperatures, it will further transition from a highly elastic state to a viscous flow state, which greatly reduces the damping.
[0005] 3. Traditional rubber-based vibration damping materials are prone to corrosion. In severe weather conditions such as rain and snow, coupled with the impact of pollutants discharged during train operation, the corrosion of rubber is accelerated. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a track vibration damping structure based on metal damping pads. This invention has the advantages of relatively long service life, better ability to cope with harsh environments, and corrosion resistance.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a track vibration damping structure based on metal damping pads, including a sleeper, a base on the sleeper, a rail on the base, and corresponding damping pads; the damping pads are respectively disposed between the rail and the base and between the base and the sleeper; the damping pads are metal damping damping pads, including multiple layers of tightly arranged coiled wire, with adjacent coiled wire layers connected in sequence; each layer of coiled wire is composed of metal wire, and the metal wire is wound into a spiral coil structure in the shape of a spring.
[0008] In the aforementioned track vibration damping structure based on metal damping pads, the base is fixed to the sleeper by base fastening bolts distributed at both ends; the sleeper has an installation groove in the middle for installing the base, the installation groove is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, and the vibration damping pad is laid in the installation groove and abuts against the bottom of the base.
[0009] In the aforementioned track damping structure based on metal damping pads, gauge blocks, elastic strips on the gauge blocks, and corresponding rail fastening bolts are provided on both sides of the rail; the rail fastening bolts pass through the elastic strips and gauge blocks and are connected to the base.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this application improves upon traditional track vibration reduction by laying vibration-damping pads between the rail and the base and between the base and the sleeper, using these pads as vibration-damping materials. This improvement offers the following advantages:
[0011] 1. The vibration damping pad is made of metal wire, which not only has the characteristics of high mechanical strength, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance and high damping, but also has a spiral coil structure, which gives it a spring-like elastic effect. After being subjected to impact, the vibration damper as a whole is not easily deformed.
[0012] 2. The metal wires inside the vibration damping pad are arranged in a uniform and regular spiral shape. The vibration damping pad with the corresponding density can be selected according to actual needs to meet different damping and stiffness requirements, so as to adapt to different vibration reduction requirements and have a wide range of applications.
[0013] In summary, this utility model has the advantages of relatively long service life, better ability to cope with harsh environments, and corrosion resistance. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0019] Example. Track vibration damping structure based on metal damping pads, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a sleeper 2, a base 1 on the sleeper 2, a rail 6 on the base 1, and corresponding vibration damping pads 8; the vibration damping pads 8 are respectively disposed between the rail 6 and the base 1 and between the base 1 and the sleeper 2; the vibration damping pads 8 are metal damping vibration damping pads, including multiple layers of tightly arranged coiled wire layers, with adjacent coiled wire layers connected in sequence; each layer of the coiled wire layer is composed of metal wires, and the metal wires are wound into a spiral coil structure in the shape of a spring.
[0020] The base 1 is fixed to the sleeper 2 by base fastening bolts 3 distributed at both ends; the sleeper 2 has an installation groove for mounting the base 1 in the middle, the installation groove is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, and the vibration damping pad 8 is laid in the installation groove and abuts against the bottom of the base 1.
[0021] The rail 6 is provided with gauge blocks 7, elastic strips 4 on the gauge blocks 7 and corresponding rail fastening bolts 5 on both sides; the rail fastening bolts 5 pass through the elastic strips 4 and the gauge blocks 7 and are connected to the base 1.
[0022] The gauge block 7 is used to fix the rails and adjust the track gauge.
[0023] The vibration damping pad 8 is prepared as follows:
[0024] S1. Wire winding: Winding metal wire into a spiral coil structure similar to a spring;
[0025] S2. Wire drawing: Drawing the spiral-wound metal wire apart to the corresponding pitch;
[0026] S3. Winding blank: The drawn metal wire is wound around a mandrel of the corresponding size, and multiple layers are wound to form a blank;
[0027] S4. Roll forming: The blank is rolled multiple times by the rotating rollers of the roll forming equipment to obtain an elastic porous vibration damping pad with corresponding size and density.
[0028] The vibration damping pad 8 is made of metal wire through a rolling process. The metal wire material effectively overcomes the problem of easy corrosion of traditional rubber materials and greatly improves the service life. The rolling process effectively solves the problem that damping and vibration damping materials prepared by traditional stamping processes are prone to delamination and have insufficient connection strength.
[0029] By specifically processing the metal wire and using metal to replace rubber, the vibration damping performance is satisfied while improving its corrosion resistance and other properties, greatly enhancing its lifespan and resistance to harsh environments.
[0030] Working principle
[0031] During train operation, the impact of the wheels on the rail 6 causes the rail 6 to vibrate violently. The vibration damping pad 8 has a spatial mesh structure formed by a large number of metal wire spiral coils interlocking with each other. When the vibration is transmitted to the vibration damping pad 8, the metal wire coils inside the vibration damping pad 8 rub, slip, squeeze and deform, converting the kinetic energy generated by the impact into heat energy and dissipating it, thus playing the role of damping and vibration reduction.
[0032] Because the vibration damping pad 8 has an elastic porous structure, the track vibration damper can be used in extreme environments, expanding the application range of the track vibration damper and greatly improving its service life.
[0033] The vibration damping pad 8 is manufactured using a rolling process, which makes the distribution of the spiral coil of metal wire more uniform and improves the structural consistency of the vibration damping pad 8.
