Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of railway transportation monitoring equipment, specifically to an installation mechanism for wheel sensors on railway tracks. Background Technology

[0002] Existing sensor installation methods are mostly simple and crude, making it difficult to adapt to the subtle deformations caused by factors such as vibrations from passing trains, thermal expansion and contraction, and geological changes in railway tracks over long periods. This makes sensors prone to loosening and displacement during use, affecting detection accuracy and potentially causing them to fail completely due to positional shifts, resulting in poor installation stability.

[0003] When a train passes at high speed, it generates a powerful impact, including the impact of wheels on the track and airflow. Conventional sensor mechanical structures lack effective buffering and shock-resistant designs, making internal precision components highly susceptible to damage. This not only shortens the sensor's lifespan but also increases railway operating costs due to frequent maintenance and replacements, highlighting the sensor's weak shock resistance.

[0004] Railway tracks come in various types, with different gauges and rail configurations. Traditional wheel sensors have poor versatility in their mounting structure, making them difficult to install and use on various railway lines. This limits their widespread application, often requiring customized modifications for specific lines, which consumes a lot of manpower and resources, and also presents compatibility issues.

[0005] Traditional installation requires assembling two sensors separately, then measuring the distance and combining them. This process is cumbersome, inefficient, and inconsistent, resulting in complex assembly issues. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an installation mechanism for wheel sensors on railway tracks, in order to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An installation mechanism for a wheel sensor on a railway track includes a bracket, a left brake block, a right brake block, and a bolt. The left and right brake blocks are respectively engaged on both sides of the lower edge of the rail. The bolt passes through the left and right brake blocks and is fixedly connected to the bracket by a nut. The wheel sensor is fixed on the bracket. The bracket has a first meshing tooth on its inner side and a second meshing tooth on the outer side of the left brake block. The first meshing tooth meshes with the second meshing tooth.

[0009] In this technical solution, the left and right brake blocks are respectively engaged on both sides of the lower edge of the rail. After bolts pass through the left and right brake blocks and are fixed to the bracket with nuts, the bracket can be fixed on the rail. The bracket is used to fix the wheel sensor. Since the bracket has a first meshing tooth on the inner side and a second meshing tooth on the outer side of the left brake block, the first and second meshing teeth cooperate to improve the self-locking performance and enhance the stability of the bracket installation.

[0010] Furthermore, to adapt to different track gauges, the bracket includes an upper end plate and a vertical extension plate. The wheel sensor is fixed on the upper end plate. A vertical strip groove is provided on the vertical extension plate. The bolt passes through the vertical strip groove and is fixed to the bracket by a nut. The first meshing tooth is set along the length direction of the vertical extension plate. The second meshing tooth meshes with the first meshing tooth at any height position to adjust the height of the bracket. The bracket can be adjusted up and down, which greatly improves the convenience of assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to enable the simultaneous installation of two wheel sensors and solve the problem of complex installation steps in the existing separate assembly of two sensors, there are two left brake blocks, two right brake blocks, two bolts and two nuts. The bracket includes two vertical extension plates, and the upper plate is long and narrow. The upper plate has two mounting positions for installing wheel sensors. The two bolts pass through the vertical slots of the corresponding vertical extension plates and are fixed to the bracket by the corresponding nuts.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to absorb high-frequency vibrations from the rails, an elastic damping pad is provided between the wheel sensor and the upper end plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a first elastic damping pad and a second elastic damping pad are sequentially provided between the wheel sensor and the upper end plate. The lower end of the first elastic damping pad has several strip-shaped protrusions, which abut against the second elastic damping pad. The first and second elastic damping pads are used together to form a double-layer buffer structure. The double-layer buffer structure is directly connected to the bracket and is used to absorb high-frequency vibrations transmitted from the rail, effectively dispersing the impact force.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to improve the absorption of high-frequency vibrations from the rails, the elastic damping pad is made of high-damping rubber material.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to better achieve the desired installation effect of the left and right brake blocks with the rail, the left and right brake blocks are provided with hooks facing each other, and the two hooks are respectively hooked on both sides of the lower edge of the rail.

[0016] Furthermore, to facilitate the lead-out of the sensor wires, a lead-out plate is also included. The lead-out plate is provided with lead-out holes and is located on the outside of the right brake block. Two bolts pass through the two ends of the lead-out plate respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, in order to better facilitate the installation of the cable outlet plate, multiple support blocks are provided on the outer circumference of the right brake block, and the cable outlet plate abuts against the support blocks.

[0018] Furthermore, to improve the ease and reliability of installation between the wheel sensor and the bracket, a pressure plate and screws are also included. The wheel sensor has connection holes on both sides, and the pressure plate is set at the connection holes. The pressure plate has mounting holes that match the shape of the connection holes. The screws pass through the mounting holes, connection holes, first elastic damping pads, second elastic damping pads, and upper end plates in sequence to fix the wheel sensor.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this technical solution, since the left brake block and the right brake block are respectively engaged on both sides of the lower edge of the rail, and then bolts are passed through the left brake block and the right brake block and fixedly connected to the bracket by nuts, the bracket can be fixed on the rail. The bracket is used to fix the wheel sensor. Since the bracket has a first meshing tooth on the inner side and a second meshing tooth on the outer side of the left brake block, the first meshing tooth and the second meshing tooth cooperate, resulting in better self-locking performance and improved stability of bracket installation.

The bracket 1 is used to fix the wheel sensor 7. Since the bracket 1 has a first meshing tooth 8 on the inner side and a second meshing tooth 9 on the outer side of the left brake block 2, the first meshing tooth 8 and the second meshing tooth 9 cooperate, the self-locking performance is better, and the stability of the bracket 1 installation is improved.

The screws 16 pass through the mounting holes 15, the connection holes, the first elastic damping pad 10, the second elastic damping pad 11 and the upper end plate 1.1 in sequence to fix the wheel sensor 7.

[0057] In summary, this technical solution achieves high installation stability through the engagement of the first meshing tooth 8 and the second meshing tooth 9. The elastic damping pad provides superior impact resistance and excellent vibration damping, ensuring the wheel sensor 7 remains within its optimal sensing range. This prevents damage to the sensor from rigid collisions and guarantees the stability and continuity of signal acquisition.
