When the steel rail is inspected, the shapes of these parts need to be inspected.

[0022] Figure 2 It is shown that the inspection template 9 is a rectangular steel plate, four inspection areas are respectively arranged on both sides of the steel plate of the inspection template 9, the edges of the steel plate of the four inspection areas respectively have different shapes, these shapes are respectively the same as the shapes of the rail head and rail body of the standard steel rail, and the edges of the steel plate of these inspection areas are respectively opposite to the rail head and rail body of the steel rail to be inspected, so that whether the steel rail to be inspected is the same as the standard steel rail can be checked, and the inspection is fast and accurate.

[0023] The four inspection areas of the inspection template 9 are respectively the rail head side wall slope inspection area 10, the rail head thickness inspection area 11, the rail crown standard arc comparison area 12, and the rail crown arc deviation value inspection area 13.

[0024] Figure 2 It is shown that the steel plate edge of the rail head side wall slope inspection area 10 of the inspection template 9 is composed of the rail head side wall inspection line 14, the rail waist inspection line 15, and the rail bottom inspection line 16, which respectively correspond to the external contours of the rail head 1, the rail waist 2, and the rail bottom 3 of the standard steel rail, and are used for checking the external shapes of the rail head 1, the rail waist 2, and the rail bottom 3 of the steel rail to be inspected.

[0025] The rail head side wall inspection line 14 is located on the upper part of the steel plate edge of the rail head side wall slope inspection area 10, the rail head side wall inspection line 14 is a vertical line, the rail head side wall inspection line 14 corresponds to the rail head side wall 7 of the standard steel rail, and the rail head side wall inspection line 14 has two semicircular convex points 17, which correspond to the two end points of the rail head side wall 7 of the standard steel rail.

[0026] The rail waist inspection line 15 is located in the middle of the steel plate edge of the rail head side wall slope inspection area 10, and is a horizontal U-shaped line. The top surface of the U-shaped line is a circular arc, which corresponds to the outside profile of the rail waist 2 of the standard rail.

[0027] The rail bottom inspection line 16 is located in the lower part of the steel plate edge of the rail head side wall slope inspection area 10, and is a horizontal inclined line segment, which corresponds to the upper surface of the rail bottom 3 of the standard rail.

[0028] Figure 2 As shown, the rail head thickness inspection line 18 of the rail head thickness inspection area 11 of the inspection sample plate 9 is a C-shaped line, which is used to check whether the thickness of the rail head 1 meets the requirements. The upper part of the C-shaped rail head thickness inspection line 18 is a circular arc line segment, the middle part is a vertical line segment, and the lower part is a horizontal inclined line segment.

The rail crown circular arc inspection line 19 corresponds to the rail crown top surface circular arc 5 profile and the rail head side wall 7 profile of the standard rail respectively. The upper part of the L-shaped rail crown circular arc inspection line 19 is a vertical line, and the lower part is a horizontal inclined line. The vertical line and the horizontal inclined line are connected by a circular arc.

[0030] Figure 2 As shown, the rail crown circular arc deviation inspection line 20 of the rail crown circular arc deviation value inspection area 13 of the inspection sample plate 9 is an L-shaped line, which is used to check the shape of the rail crown top surface circular arc 5 of the steel rail to be inspected.

The upper part straight line segment is consistent with the rail head side wall 7 profile of the standard rail, and the lower part inclined line segment corresponds to the rail crown top surface circular arc 5 of the standard rail. There are three semicircular convex points 17 on the lower part inclined line segment. The positions of the three semicircular convex points 17 correspond to the junction points of the rail crown top surface circular arc 5 of the standard rail respectively. The lowermost semicircular convex point 17 is in contact with the rail head vertex, and the upper two semicircular convex points 17 leave a certain gap with the rail crown top surface circular arc 5 of the standard rail.

[0031] Figure 3As shown, when the rail head side wall slope inspection area 10 of the inspection template 9 is used for inspection, the rail waist inspection line 15 is attached to the rail waist 2 of the steel rail to be inspected, and the lower rail bottom inspection line 16 is attached to the upper surface straight line segment of the rail bottom 3, so as to realize the positioning of the inspection template 9. After positioning, the clearance between the two semicircular convex points 17 of the rail head side wall inspection line 14 and the rail head side wall 7 is measured by using the feeler gauge, and the clearance is compared with the rail head side wall 7 of the standard steel rail, so as to obtain the deviation of the two rail head side walls, and the deflection amount of the rail head center line relative to the rail waist center line can be evaluated.

[0032] Figure 4 As shown, when the rail head thickness inspection area 11 of the inspection template 9 is used for rail head 1 thickness inspection, the rail head thickness inspection line 18 of the steel plate edge of the inspection template 9 is attached to the rail crown end surface arc 6, the rail head side wall 7 and the rail head lower jaw 8 of the steel rail to be inspected, so as to realize the positioning of the template. After positioning, the clearance t between the lower horizontal oblique line segment of the rail head thickness inspection line and the rail head lower jaw 8 is measured by using the feeler gauge. When the template is designed, the profile is larger than the standard cross-section rail head thickness by t0, so the measured rail head thickness deviation is t0-t. A positive value indicates that the rail head thickness is greater than the standard value, and a negative value indicates that the rail head thickness is less than the standard value. By comparing the deviation values of the two rail head 1 thicknesses, the symmetry of the rail head 1 thickness can be evaluated.

[0033] Figure 5 As shown, when the rail crown standard arc comparison area 12 of the inspection template 9 is used for the steel plate edge to check whether the rail crown top surface arc 5 is undercut, the lower oblique line of the rail crown arc inspection line 19 is attached to the rail head side wall 7, and the inspection template 9 is moved downward along the rail head side wall 7 until the arc segment of the rail crown arc inspection line 19 is in contact with the rail crown top surface arc 5 and cannot be moved any more, so as to realize the positioning of the template. After positioning, the clearance between the arc segment of the rail crown arc inspection line 19 and the rail crown top surface arc 5 is visually inspected, so as to judge the consistency of the rail crown profile of the steel rail to be inspected with the rail crown profile of the standard steel rail, and whether the rail crown top surface arc 5 has excess material or undercut. If there is no clearance between the rail crown arc inspection line 19 and the rail crown top surface arc 5, and there is clearance between the rail crown arc inspection line 19 and the rail crown end surface arc 6, it indicates that the rail crown end surface arc 6 has undercut. If there is clearance between the rail crown arc inspection line 19 and the rail crown top surface arc 5, and there is no clearance between the rail crown arc inspection line 19 and the rail crown end surface arc 6, it indicates that the rail crown end surface arc 6 has excess material.

[0035] One embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0036] The length of the check sample 9 is 160 mm, the width is 96 mm, and the thickness is 5 mm.
