Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of railway turnout technology, and in particular relates to a graphite switch rail connecting iron. Background Technology
[0002] The switch rail connector is a new type of crucial component in the external locking device of railway turnouts. It connects the rail to the locking mechanism, allowing the rail to lock in the appropriate position at the appropriate time, facilitating the smooth turning of trains in a predetermined direction and enabling flexible turnout switching. During use, the switch rail connector moves relative to the push-pull plate, resulting in high frictional resistance. Prolonged dry friction affects the normal use and lifespan of the switch rail connector. Utility Model Content

[0006] The base plate has an upward-facing protrusion at one end near the back plate, and the base plate has several mounting holes for mounting graphite columns and providing lubrication.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the back plate is provided with a plurality of connection holes for connecting with the switch rail.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the base plate is provided with three slots, one of which extends horizontally and is located on the upper part of the base plate, and the other two slots are symmetrically and obliquely arranged on the base plate, forming a triangle; the interior of the triangle is provided with a plurality of mounting holes.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the boss is provided with a screw hole.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the side plate is provided with fixing holes in the middle, lower part, and the lower end of the upper part.
[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows:
[0012] This utility model provides mounting holes on the base plate for installing graphite, which serves as a lubricant, reduces frictional resistance during use of the switch rail connecting iron, avoids dry friction with other components, reduces wear on the switch rail connecting iron, and extends its service life.
