Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail transit technology, and in particular to a standard gauge coordinate acquisition device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, rail transit systems commonly use track gauges for track gauge measurement during track construction acceptance and routine maintenance. Existing track gauges typically use linear displacement sensors to measure the rail gauge. However, this method requires the measuring probe to be in close contact with the rail surface being measured. Track gauges, on the other hand, are often measured manually, leading to significant errors in the measurement results. Furthermore, the frequent movement of the sensor probe during use causes excessive wear and reduces the sensor's lifespan. Additionally, during track fine-tuning, because the track inspection vehicle does not measure the three-dimensional coordinates of the standard track gauge at the designated location, the coordinates of the standard track gauge must be calculated from the vehicle's geometric dimensions. Wear or loosening of the vehicle body will affect the accuracy of the calculation, thus impacting the fine-tuning effect. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects and problems of low measurement accuracy and short service life in the existing technology, and to provide a standard gauge coordinate acquisition device with high measurement accuracy and long service life.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a standard track gauge coordinate acquisition device, comprising a base, an elastic element, a slider, a slide block, a support rod, a rolling element, and a prism assembly. The base and the slide block are respectively installed on the lower side of a track measuring vehicle. The slider is slidably connected to the inner side of the slide block. One end of the support rod is connected to one side of the slider, and the other end of the support rod is slidably connected to the base. The elastic element is connected between the support rod and the slider. The rolling element passes through the slide block and is connected to the lower side of the slider. The rolling element is slidably connected to the standard track gauge on the inner side of the track. The lower end of the prism assembly passes through the slide block and is connected to the upper side of the slider. The central axis of the prism rod of the prism assembly is located directly above the contact point between the rolling element and the inner track line.
[0005] The prism assembly includes a prism and a prism rod. The lower end of the prism rod is connected to the upper side of the slider. The prism is connected to the upper end of the prism rod. The reflection center of the prism is located directly above the contact point between the rolling element and the inner line of the track. The prism is matched with an automatic total station.
[0006] The slide block is dovetail-shaped, and a groove is provided on the upper side of the slide block along the vertical track direction, with the prism rod located in the groove.
[0007] The slider is dovetail-shaped and is vertically arranged inside the track. The lower side of the slide block has a dovetail groove that matches the slider.
[0008] The rolling element includes a rubber-coated rolling bearing and a connecting rod. The rubber-coated rolling bearing is arranged horizontally and its inner ring is fitted onto the lower end of the connecting rod. The outer ring of the rubber-coated rolling bearing is rolledly connected to the standard gauge section inside the track.
[0009] The support rod includes an inner rod and an outer rod. The outer rod is fixedly connected to the base, and the inner rod is slidably connected inside the outer rod. One end of the inner rod is connected to the slider.
[0010] The base is T-shaped, and a threaded hole is provided on the upper side of the base. A bolt is threaded into the threaded hole and is threaded to the lower side of the track measuring vehicle.
[0011] The base has a mounting groove on its lower side, one end of the outer rod is located in the mounting groove, and a fastening screw is threaded between the two side walls of the mounting groove.
[0012] The elastic element includes a compression spring, which is sleeved on the outside of the inner rod. One end of the compression spring is connected to one side of the slider, and the other end of the compression spring is connected to one end of the outer rod.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, a standard track gauge coordinate acquisition device connects the device to a track inspection vehicle, enabling synchronous movement and measurement without manual operation. The rolling element connects to the track, while the prism assembly is suspended above the slide block and does not contact the track, thus preventing wear caused by direct contact. The elastic element ensures continuous and close contact between the rolling element and the track, guaranteeing measurement accuracy. The sliding connection between the slider and slide block further stabilizes the rolling element and prism assembly as they move along the track. Therefore, this utility model offers high measurement accuracy and a long service life.
[0015] 2. In this utility model's standard track gauge coordinate acquisition device, the prism assembly uses a prism in conjunction with an automatic total station for tracking measurement. This allows for direct measurement of the continuous three-dimensional coordinates of the track, thus obtaining the overall track alignment changes. Direct comparison with the design values enables fine-tuning of the track without additional calculations, resulting in higher accuracy. Furthermore, the track gauge value can be obtained by inversely calculating the three-dimensional coordinates of the left and right tracks, making it convenient to use. Both the slider and slide block employ a dovetail design, providing high structural stability to ensure measurement accuracy. The tight fit between the groove and tenon allows the connection to withstand significant tensile and compressive forces, effectively preventing loosening and detachment. During installation, simply insert the tenon into the groove and adjust accordingly to achieve a tight connection, making installation and disassembly convenient. Therefore, this utility model boasts high reliability, ease of use, and simple installation and disassembly.
[0016] 3. In this standard gauge coordinate acquisition device, the rolling elements use rubber-coated rolling bearings to contact the track. Because the rubber-coated rolling bearing's internal rubber material has excellent buffering performance and electrical insulation function, it can effectively reduce friction and vibration, lower noise during operation, and improve the comfort and stability of the equipment. The support rod adopts an inner and outer rod design, making its movement more stable. The support rod is installed using mounting slots, facilitating position adjustment. After installation, the tightness of the support rod is adjusted using fastening screws, resulting in good fixation. The base is connected to the track inspection vehicle via a threaded connection, facilitating installation and disassembly. Therefore, this invention offers high stability, ease of use, and convenient installation and disassembly. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In this embodiment, the elastic element 8 is initially in a compressed state. Before measurement, the device is first installed on the lower side of the track measuring vehicle 2. Then, the slider 5 slides in the slide block 5 under the elastic force of the elastic element 8, which drives the rolling element 9 to move and contact the inner side of the track 1. At this time, the prism group 6 is located directly above the contact part between the rolling element 9 and the inner side line of the track 1. Then, the track measuring vehicle 2 starts to move on the track 1. The track gauge value is obtained by obtaining the reading of the prism 61 through the automatic total station.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rubber material inside the rubber-coated rolling bearing 91 has good buffering performance, which can effectively reduce friction and vibration, reduce noise during operation, and improve the comfort and stability of the equipment. During installation, the slider 5 is aligned with one end of the dovetail groove 42 and then the slider 5 is released.
