[0002] A level crossing is a point where a railway intersects and connects with a road or pedestrian crossing. A well-designed level crossing can reduce the risk of traffic accidents and ensure the safety of railway and road traffic.

[0003] Currently, common material types for level crossings include cast-in-place concrete slabs, rubber level crossings, asphalt-paved level crossings, and steel-paved level crossings. However, in actual use, the construction period for the slabs of these level crossings is long, and concrete slabs are prone to cracking, exposed rebar, or even breakage under frequent vehicle traffic. Furthermore, due to their light weight and weak fixation, they are prone to displacement or shifting, which can impact the railway line and threaten traffic safety. In addition, it is currently inconvenient to replace damaged parts of the slabs at level crossings, making maintenance difficult.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a track bed for level crossings that can be constructed quickly, is not easily damaged, and is easy to maintain and repair. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a prefabricated integral track bed for level crossings, so as to at least solve the problems of long construction period, easy damage and difficult maintenance of track beds at level crossings.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Example:

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a prefabricated integral track bed for level crossings. The track bed is provided with two steel rails 2 and multiple fasteners 3. The fasteners 3 are located on both sides of the bottom of the steel rails 2 to fix the steel rails 2. Both the steel rails 2 and the fasteners 3 are set in the fastener grooves.

[0037] Specifically, the track bed is made up of one or more precast concrete track bed slabs 1 spliced ​​together. The track bed slabs 1 are precast in advance, which can save the construction period and reduce the impact on roads with large commuting volume. In addition, the top of the track bed slabs 1 is lower than the top of the road filling layer 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the material of the track bed slab 1 is C50 reinforced concrete, and the dimensions of length × width × height are 3000mm × 2800mm × 500mm.

[0039] Rubber inserts 4 are installed on both sides of the rail 2. Since the wheels of the locomotive and rolling stock run between the two rails 2 during operation, the shape of the rubber inserts 4 on the inner side of the two rails 2 is different from that on the outer side. The gap between the rubber inserts 4 on the inner side of the two rails 2 and the rail 2 is relatively large. The rubber inserts 4 are located above the fasteners 3. The vertical cross section of the rubber inserts 4 is inverted T-shaped. The rubber inserts 4 are fixed with rubber spring strips 5 by strong adhesive. The rubber inserts 4 are fixed to the track bed slab 1 by the rubber spring strips 5. The rubber spring strips 5 and the track bed slab 1 are fixed by strong adhesive. The rubber inserts 4 can play a role in shock absorption. On the other hand, the rail 2 has lateral vibration in the direction perpendicular to the track direction during use. The retractable rubber inserts 4 provide vibration space for the rail 2, reducing the rail damage caused by the inability to laterally vibrate. The top of the rail 2 is flush with the top of the rubber inserts 4 on both sides.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, a rubber pad 6 is provided below the rubber insert 4 and above the fastener 3. The rubber pad 6 is a C-shaped hollow prefabricated structure. The rubber pad 6 maintains its stability by interacting with the support point A of the rail 2, the support point B of the fastener 3 and the support point C of the track bed slab 1. The prefabricated rubber pad 6 also facilitates the replacement of damaged fasteners 3.

[0041] Specifically, protective angle steel 7 is provided at the top corner of the fastener groove and on both sides of the track bed 1. The protective angle steel 7 can reduce the damage to the corner of the track bed 1 when vehicles pass. A rubber pad 8 is provided between the protective angle steel 7 and the track bed 1. The rubber pad 8 provides a buffer between the protective angle steel 7 and the track bed 1, avoiding rigid contact between the protective angle steel 7 and the track bed 1.

[0042] The protective angle steel 7 is fixed to the track bed slab 1 by limiting bolts 9 and is arranged in six rows. The track bed slab 1 is provided with multiple wedge-shaped grooves, which are located between adjacent protective angle steel 7 in each row. A caulking rubber strip 10 is embedded in the wedge-shaped groove. The caulking rubber strip 10 is flush with the top of the protective angle steel 7. When the protective angle steel 7 is subjected to vibration or compression, the caulking rubber strip 10 acts as an expansion joint to buffer the protective angle steel 7 and prevent it from being damaged or deformed. The detachable limiting bolts 9 make it easy to replace the damaged protective angle steel 7.

[0043] In this embodiment, a metal anti-slip plate 17 is welded on the top of the protective angle steel 7 to reduce the probability of accidents in rainy or snowy weather.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, each track slab 1 has eight lifting holes 14 symmetrically opened on both sides of the longitudinal direction, with four lifting holes 14 on each side, to facilitate the transportation and installation of the track slab 1. Each track slab 1 has a pre-reserved injection hole 15, two grouting holes 16 and two identification plates 23 in the middle. The injection hole 15, grouting hole 16 and identification plate 23 are all distributed on the longitudinal center line. The injection hole 15 is used to inject quick-drying concrete and other materials to quickly level the elevation of the track slab 1. The grouting hole 16 is used for the treatment of defects when the subgrade settles later. The identification plate 23 can be marked with the production time, length, steel mold number and site marking information of the track slab 1.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, an expansion joint 18 is provided between adjacent track slabs 1. The expansion joint 18 is filled with polyethylene foam board 19, and the expansion joint 18 is sealed with silicone 20 around its perimeter. The expansion joint 18 can prevent the track slabs 1 from being squeezed against each other due to longitudinal movement, thus avoiding damage to the track slabs 1.

[0046] Several limiting steel bars 11 are cast near the bottom of the track bed slab 1. A limiting protrusion is integrally set at the bottom of the track bed slab 1. A limiting groove 12 that fits the limiting protrusion is set on the lower subgrade fill 22. The limiting protrusion is embedded in the limiting groove 12. The limiting steel bars 11 and the limiting protrusion can strengthen and fix the track bed slab 1, thereby reducing the deformation of the rail 2 and the road surface caused by the transverse and longitudinal movement of the track bed slab 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, a geotextile 13 is provided between the bottom of the track bed slab 1 and the lower roadbed fill 22 for isolation, to maintain the overall structure and function of the track bed slab 1, thereby strengthening the load-bearing capacity of the track bed slab 1.

[0048] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
