Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway technology, and in particular to a negative Poisson's ratio high-speed railway vibration damping sleeper pad. Background Technology

[0002] High-speed railways generate significant vibrations during operation, especially when trains pass through track connection points. Negative Poisson's ratio materials have excellent energy absorption capabilities, effectively reducing the transmission of vibrations generated by train movement to the track, sleepers, and surrounding environment. Applying negative Poisson's ratio material to damping sleeper pads can mitigate the propagation of these vibrations, reduce track wear, and improve the smoothness of train operation.

[0003] The structure of a negative Poisson's ratio high-speed railway vibration damping sleeper pad includes a placement groove, compression spring, and fixing block. Poisson's ratio describes the ratio of deformation in the perpendicular direction when a material is subjected to force in one direction. For conventional materials, when deformation occurs in the direction of force, the opposite deformation occurs in the perpendicular direction, and the Poisson's ratio is usually positive. However, negative Poisson's ratio materials have different characteristics. When subjected to force, the material contracts laterally when stretched in one direction, or expands laterally when compressed. This property gives it unique vibration damping and energy absorption performance.

[0004] In existing technologies, some high-speed railway vibration-damping sleeper pads are typically placed simply between the top of the sleeper and the bottom of the rail. However, the pads are not securely fixed and are prone to displacement or shifting. Especially when high-speed trains are passing, the displacement of the pads can lead to uneven contact between the rail and the sleeper, further causing track settlement, wear, and instability, thus affecting the long-term operational stability and service life of the railway. Therefore, a negative Poisson's ratio high-speed railway vibration-damping sleeper pad is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The negative Poisson's ratio high-speed railway vibration damping sleeper pad proposed in this utility model aims to improve the problem that some existing devices do not take into account the displacement of the pad at the bottom of the rail during train operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a negative Poisson's ratio high-speed railway vibration-damping sleeper pad, including a base plate 1. The base plate 1 is the basic structure of the entire vibration-damping sleeper pad, providing stable support. Its main function is to support the sleeper body 2. The sleeper body 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The sleeper body 2 supports the rail body 3. The sleeper body 2 is made of concrete and mainly bears the dynamic load from the track, vehicles and the outside. The rail body 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeper body 2. The bottom of the rail body 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the pad body 13. The rail body 3 bears and transmits the running load of the railway vehicles and is fixed to the top of the sleeper body 2. A connecting mechanism 4 is fixedly connected inside the rail body 3. The connecting mechanism 4 is used to connect and fix the connection part between the sleeper body 2 and the rail body 3. An anti-deviation mechanism 12 is fixedly connected inside the sleeper body 2. The anti-deviation mechanism 12 mainly prevents the pad body 13 from shifting. A vibration-damping mechanism 17 is fixedly connected inside the sleeper body 2 to reduce the impact of vibration generated by train operation on the track device.

[0033] The anti-deviation mechanism 12 includes a pad body 13, which is externally slidably connected to the interior of the sleeper body 2. When the train runs on the rail, the pad body 13 engages and slides within a placement groove 14 inside the sleeper body 2, ensuring that the pad body 13 does not slip out and deviate. The pad body 13 is externally slidably connected to the interior of the placement groove 14. The material of the pad body 13 is negative Poisson's ratio. When subjected to force, negative Poisson's ratio materials absorb more energy while expanding laterally. This unique mechanical property allows it to effectively absorb and disperse external energy in impact or vibration environments, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on structures or objects. When vibration and impact occur, this material can alleviate or weaken the transmission of energy. The energy delivered to the system plays a role in shock absorption. The interior of the sleeper body 2 has a placement groove 14. Multiple compression springs 15 are fixedly connected inside the placement groove 14. Fixing blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the front of the multiple compression springs 15. The inner sides of the two fixing blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the pad body 13, and the outer sides of the two fixing blocks 16 are slidably connected to the interior of the sleeper body 2. When installing the pad body 13, the pad body 13 is placed into the placement groove 14. Supported by the elastic force of the compression springs 15, the front fixing blocks 16 can slide and retract to fix the pad body 13 in the upper middle part of the sliding groove to prevent displacement. The fixing blocks 16 are arc-shaped trapezoids that can accommodate the pad body 13 to slide in from the top for fixing.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 The connecting mechanism 4 includes a screw 5. The screw 5 is externally fixedly connected to the inside of the dust cap 11. The bottom of the screw 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeper body 2. A baffle seat 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeper body 2. A gauge baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle seat 6. The function of the baffle seat 6 is to ensure the stability of the gauge baffle 7. The gauge baffle 7 is fixed to the screw 5 by an A-type elastic strip 8 to ensure the consistency of the track width. An A-type elastic strip 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the screw 5. The bottom of the A-type elastic strip 8 is fixedly connected to the gauge baffle 7. At the top of plate 7, a flat washer 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of screw 5. A nut 10 is fixedly connected to the top of flat washer 9. The outside of nut 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of dust cap 11. The inner thread of nut 10 is connected to the outside of screw 5. As the core component of the connection, screw 5, flat washer 9 and nut 10 interact to ensure the stability of the connection point. Dust cap 11 is fixedly connected to the top of nut 10. Dust cap 11 is used to cover the connecting parts to prevent dust and debris from entering the connection point, thereby extending the service life of the track assembly.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The shock absorption mechanism 17 includes multiple small pads 18, which are externally fixed to the inside of the sleeper body 2. These small pads 18 are fixed inside the sleeper body 2 to disperse and mitigate track vibration. The material of the small pads 18 is the same as that of the pad body 13. Multiple shock-absorbing springs 19 are fixedly connected inside the sleeper body 2. The multiple shock-absorbing springs 19 are combined with the small pads 18 and adopt a reasonable elastic design to absorb external vibration and slow down the transmission of vibration, thereby improving the comfort and stability of the railway device.

[0036] Working principle: When the train is running, the rail body 3 bears and transmits the running load of the vehicle. The anti-deviation mechanism 12 inside the sleeper body 2 ensures that the pad body 13 is engaged and slides in the placement groove 14 inside the sleeper body 2 to prevent deviation. The front fixing block 16 can slide and retract under the elastic force of the compression spring 15 to fix the pad body 13 in the middle and upper part of the sliding groove to prevent deviation. The fixing block 16 is an arc trapezoid. The fixing pad body 13 is made of negative Poisson's ratio material, which can expand laterally and absorb more energy when subjected to force, effectively reducing the impact of vibration and shock on the track device.

[0037] The base plate 1 provides a stable support for the sleeper body 2. The sleeper body 2 mainly bears the dynamic load from the rail body 3. The rail body 3 is connected to the sleeper body 2 through the connecting mechanism 4. The connecting mechanism 4 ensures a stable connection between the sleeper body 2 and the gauge baffle 7 through screws 5, flat washers 9 and nuts 10. The baffle seat 6 ensures the stability of the gauge baffle 7. The gauge baffle 7 is fixed to the screws 5 through A-type elastic strips 8 to ensure the consistency of the track width. The dust cap 11 covers the connecting parts to prevent dust and debris from entering and extend the service life of the track components.

[0038] When vibration occurs, the combination of the small pads 18 in the damping mechanism 17 and the damping springs 19 disperses the pressure of the top pad body 13, making the load on each small pad 18 smaller, thereby enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity. Dispersing the pressure helps to reduce the burden on individual pads and damping springs 19, preventing breakage or damage due to excessive pressure concentration. When subjected to external forces, the damping springs 19 can absorb and alleviate these energies through elastic deformation, thereby reducing vibration transmission.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
