Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rail technology, specifically relating to a rail reinforcement clamp. Background Technology

[0002] Steel rails are the main component of railway tracks. Their function is to guide the wheels of locomotives and rolling stock, bear the enormous pressure of the wheels, and transmit this pressure to the sleepers. Steel rails must provide the wheels with a continuous, smooth, and least resistance-prone rolling surface. In electrified railways or automatic block signaling sections, steel rails can also serve as track circuits.

[0003] Currently, rails are generally constructed by fixing multiple rails together, for example, by welding. Aluminothermic welding is typically used to weld two rails together to create a seamless track. However, because the weld joints of aluminothermic welds are relatively weak, the welded joints between rails are prone to breakage during heavy-load operation.

[0004] Traditionally, in order to improve the structural strength of the rails at the welded joints between rails, a clamping plate body is usually added to the web of the rail. The clamping plate body is fixed by setting threaded holes in the rail and inserting bolts through the threaded holes in the rail.
