Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway rail end insulation technology, specifically a new type of railway rail end insulation. Background Technology

[0002] Rail end insulation is a critical component ensuring the normal operation of track circuits. It prevents current leakage and guarantees accurate signal transmission. With the development of railway technology, new rail end insulation materials and designs are constantly emerging to improve insulation performance, durability, and adaptability. It ensures the normal operation of track circuits, avoids unnecessary current flow, and thus guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the railway signaling system. Existing railway rail end insulation is an integrated design without drainage channels. When used in rainy weather, the rail end insulation may suffer from reduced insulation performance due to rainwater intrusion, increasing the risk of leakage.

[0004] Regarding the above description, the applicant believes the following issues exist:

[0005] This new type of rail end insulation utilizes a fixed middle section, top plate, and bottom support plate to achieve insulation. However, since it lacks drainage channels and holes, the insulation performance may be reduced due to rainwater intrusion, increasing the risk of leakage. Therefore, improvements to this rail end insulation are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of rail end insulation for railways to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a novel rail end insulation for railways, comprising a base plate, wherein a first insulating pad is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the base plate, a first water trough is provided inside the base plate, and an insulating mechanism is provided on the top of the base plate;

[0008] The insulation mechanism includes an insert plate, which is inserted into the bottom support plate. An I-beam gasket is fixedly connected to the top of the insert plate. Second insulating pads are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the I-beam gasket. A through hole is opened inside the I-beam gasket. A second water channel is opened inside the I-beam gasket. A drainage hole is opened inside the I-beam gasket.

[0009] Preferably, the base plate has a slot inside, and the insert plate is inserted into the slot, so that the insert plate and the I-beam gasket can be kept in a stable state under the action of the slot.

[0010] Preferably, the through holes are provided in two sets, and both sets of through holes are circular, which facilitates the drainage of rainwater.

[0011] Preferably, the drain hole is circular and is connected to the through hole, which facilitates the drainage of water from the through hole by the drain hole.

[0012] Preferably, both the first and second water channels are rectangular in shape, and the first and second water channels are interconnected to facilitate the prevention of rainwater intrusion under the action of the first and second water channels.

[0013] Preferably, the base plate, insert plate, and I-beam gasket are all made of insulating material, which facilitates improved insulation performance.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a novel rail end insulation for railways, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This railway uses a new type of rail end insulation. Through the designed insulation mechanism, rail end insulation can be achieved through the interaction of the base plate, insert plate, and H-beam gasket. The base plate, insert plate, and H-beam gasket are used at the track circuit segmentation points in automatic block sections to isolate rail joints, thereby enabling electrical control of different track sections. Furthermore, during rainy weather, the rail end insulation may suffer reduced insulation performance due to rainwater intrusion, increasing the risk of leakage. By creating a second drainage channel, through-holes, and drainage holes on the H-beam gasket, rainwater can be more easily drained, reducing the impact of moisture on insulation performance. This design improves the safety and reliability of the railway. Furthermore, the interconnected through-holes and drainage holes ensure smooth drainage of accumulated water, further enhancing the drainage effect. Simultaneously, the combined effect of the second and first drainage channels, through-holes, and drainage holes reduces the expansion and contraction of insulation materials caused by humidity changes, extending the service life of the I-beam gaskets. In terms of maintenance, it serves as a drainage channel, facilitating the removal of accumulated moisture during inspection and maintenance, simplifying maintenance work. Moreover, the I-beam gaskets are connected to the base plate via insert plates; when replacement is needed, only the I-beam gaskets need to be replaced, saving costs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a new type of rail end insulation for railways, including a bottom support plate 1, a first insulating pad 2 fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom support plate 1, a first water trough 3 opened inside the bottom support plate 1, and an insulating mechanism 4 provided on the top of the bottom support plate 1;

[0027] The insulation mechanism 4 includes an insert plate 41, which is inserted into the bottom support plate 1. An I-shaped gasket 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the insert plate 41. Second insulating pads 43 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the I-shaped gasket 42. A through hole 44 is opened inside the I-shaped gasket 42. A second water channel 45 is opened inside the I-shaped gasket 42. A drain hole 46 is opened inside the I-shaped pad.

[0028] The base plate 1 has a slot inside, into which the insert plate 41 is inserted to ensure stability of the insert plate 41 and the I-beam gasket 42. Two sets of through holes 44 are provided, both of which are circular, to facilitate the drainage of rainwater. The drain hole 46 is circular and connected to the through hole 44, allowing water to drain from the through hole 44. The first water trough 3 and the second water trough 45 are both rectangular and connected to each other, preventing rainwater intrusion. The base plate 1, the insert plate 41, and the I-beam gasket 42 are all made of insulating material, which improves the insulation effect.

[0029] In actual operation, when this device is used and the I-beam shim 42 needs to be installed, first place the base plate 1 between the two rails, and then insert the insert plate 41 into the base plate 1 to install the I-beam shim 42, making the I-beam shim 42 stable. Simultaneously, fix it to the left and right sides of the rails using insulating fishplates to ensure a stable relationship between the I-beam shim 42 and the two contacting rails. When working in rainy weather, the rail end insulation may suffer reduced insulation performance due to rainwater intrusion, increasing the risk of leakage. By opening a second drainage groove 45, a through hole 44, and a drainage hole 46 on the I-beam shim 42, rainwater can be drained more easily, reducing the impact of moisture on insulation performance. The through hole 44 and the drainage hole 46 are interconnected, which ensures that the water accumulated in the through hole 44 can be drained smoothly, further improving the drainage effect. At the same time, under the action of the second water channel 45, the first water channel, the through hole 44 and the drainage hole 46, the expansion and contraction of the insulation material caused by humidity changes can be reduced, extending the service life of the I-beam gasket 42. In terms of maintenance, it can serve as a drainage channel, making it convenient for workers to remove accumulated water when inspecting and maintaining the insulation, simplifying maintenance work. Furthermore, the I-beam gasket 42 is connected to the base plate 1 through the insert plate 41. When replacement is needed, only the I-beam gasket 42 needs to be replaced, saving costs.
