Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crushed stone track technology, and in particular to a sign for crushed stone track sections. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, common signage on ballast tracks requires the construction of posts on the track before the signs are installed, making the entire process quite complex. Furthermore, if new signs are to be installed on existing operational lines using this method, the ballast must be removed and a concrete platform must be poured to provide stable support for the posts, resulting in a large workload and high construction risks. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a sign for a gravel track section. A hexahedral frame is installed between the sleepers on both sides of the gravel track section, and then gravel is filled in and fixed, thus achieving rapid construction and installation of the sign.
[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A sign for a gravel ballast track section is characterized in that: the sign is a hexahedral frame, a set of opposite sides of the hexahedral frame are hollowed-out surfaces, the interior of the hexahedral frame is a space filled with gravel ballast, and the top surface of the hexahedral frame is the sign surface.
[0006] The hexahedral frame is composed of four stainless steel plates, which respectively form the top surface, bottom surface, and a set of opposite sides of the hexahedral frame.
[0007] The hexahedral frame is a rectangular structure with a longer side and a shorter side, wherein the hollowed-out surface is located on the longer side.
[0008] The outer contour shape and size of the hexahedral frame meet the requirements for its installation between two sleepers on the ballast track.
[0009] The advantages of this utility model are: simple and reasonable structure, can be prefabricated in the factory and quickly installed on site, significantly improving construction efficiency; can be prefabricated into various sizes according to the requirements of different signs and plaques, with high flexibility; and strong stability, not easy to move. Attached Figure Description
[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The features and other related features of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art:
[0012] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the marks 1-6 represent: top surface 1, bottom surface 2, side surface 3, side surface 4, hollow surface 5, and hollow surface 6, respectively.
[0013] Example: Figure 1 As shown, the main body of the gravel track section marker in this embodiment is a hexahedral frame. This hexahedral frame includes four solid sides: top surface 1, bottom surface 2, side surface 3, and side surface 4, as well as two hollowed-out sections: hollowed-out surface 5 and hollowed-out surface 6, making the main body of the hexahedral frame a semi-closed frame structure. Hollowed-out surface 5 and hollowed-out surface 6 are one pair of opposite sides, and side surface 3 and side surface 4 are another pair of opposite sides. The top surface 1 serves as the marking surface for various information markings, such as sleeper number markings.
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the top surface 1, bottom surface 2, side surface 3, and side surface 4 of the hexahedral frame are all made of stainless steel plates to ensure that they have a certain structural strength. The perforated surfaces 5 and 6 create openings on both sides of the main body of the hexahedral frame, further exposing the inner cavity of the frame. In use, the hexahedral frame is embedded between the two sleepers of the ballast track. Ballast is filled into the interior of the hexahedral frame through the perforated surfaces 5 and 6, allowing the frame to form a stable connection with the track bed. The ballast itself is used to fix the frame. At the same time, since the frame is made of stainless steel, it also provides some constraint on the ballast in certain areas, preventing the ballast from loosening at those locations.
[0015] In this embodiment, the outer contour shape and size of the hexahedral frame meet the requirements for installation between the two sleepers on the ballast track. Simultaneously, the top surface 1 (marker surface) of the hexahedral frame is flush with the top surface of the ballast.
[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the hexahedral frame in this embodiment is a rectangular structure with a longer side and a shorter side. The hollowed-out surface 5 and the hollowed-out surface 6 are located on the longer side, which allows the inner cavity of the hexahedral frame to be filled quickly, reducing the time required for excavation and loosening of the ballast.
[0017] Although the above embodiments have described the concept and embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will recognize that various improvements and modifications can still be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims, and therefore will not be elaborated here.
