Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail transit technology, and in particular to a welding strength testing device for steel rail turnout pads. Background Technology

[0002] A turnout is a track device that allows a train to switch from one track to another or cross another track. Its performance directly affects the safety and smoothness of train operation. The base plate is mostly a welded part. As a key component of the turnout structure, the welding strength of the base plate is directly related to the stability and durability of the turnout.

[0003] The welding strength of the track pad affects whether the turnout will deform or be damaged when a train passes. Insufficient welding strength can lead to deformation or damage, potentially causing a safety accident. Therefore, welding strength testing is necessary during track pad production. This testing provides crucial data on the track pad's deformation and stress distribution under specific loads. This data is essential for analyzing the track pad's performance characteristics and optimizing its structural design. The testing can also reveal potential weaknesses in the track pad, providing direction for subsequent improvements and optimizations. This ensures the track pad can withstand various loads during train operation, thereby guaranteeing train safety.

[0004] However, existing welding strength testing devices for steel rail turnout pads cannot fix pads of different sizes during use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a welding strength testing device for steel rail turnout pads, which can fix pads of different sizes to be tested.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a welding strength testing device for steel rail turnout pads is provided, comprising: a base plate and a gantry frame, the gantry frame being fixedly mounted on the base plate, a testing component being mounted on the gantry frame, and fixing mechanisms being provided on both sides of the gantry frame. A test pad is provided below the testing component, and both ends of the test pad are connected to the two fixing mechanisms. Each of the two fixing mechanisms includes a mounting base, a support rod, a fixing base, and a fixing rod. Two mounting bases and two fixing bases are spaced apart. Both mounting bases are located on the base plate. The support rod is slidably mounted on the top of the two mounting bases, and fixing components are provided at both ends of the support rod. The fixing components are detachably connected to the mounting bases. Both fixing bases are slidably mounted on the top of the support rods. Each fixing base has a vertically formed through groove, and the fixing rod slides through the through groove of the two fixing bases. Each fixing base has a vertically formed limit screw, and both limit screws are threadedly connected to the corresponding fixing bases. The bottom of each limit screw abuts against the top of the fixing rod.

[0007] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this testing device to test the welding strength of a pad, the welding strength of the pad to be tested can be obtained by applying pressure to the pad to be tested; the testing component can apply pressure to the pad to be tested, and the maximum pressure value that the pad to be tested can withstand is the maximum welding strength of the pad to be tested; when the device is working, the support rod is moved so that the distance between the two support rods is the same as the long side of the pad to be tested, and the support rod is fixed on the mounting base using the fixing component. The two narrow sides of the pad to be tested are placed on the two support rods, the fixing rod is moved along the through groove and positioned below the fixing rod, and the fixing base is moved. At this time, the fixing rod can slide through the through groove so that the edges and corners of the pad to be tested are all locked in the corresponding fixing bases. The fixing base can restrict the horizontal movement of the pad to be tested. The limiting screw is rotated so that the bottom of the limiting screw abuts against the fixing rod. At this time, the pad to be tested cannot move up and down, thereby fixing the pad to be tested on the testing device.

[0008] According to the aforementioned welding strength testing device for a steel rail turnout pad, the mounting base has multiple spaced through holes on its side. The fixing assembly includes a cylinder, a sliding rod, and a compression spring. The cylinder is slidably inserted into the support rod. The sliding rod is 7-shaped and slidably inserted into the cylinder and the corresponding through hole. The cylinder has a countersunk hole on one side of the two mounting bases facing away from each other. One end of the sliding rod is provided with a sliding piece, which is located in the countersunk hole. The compression spring is located in the countersunk hole, with one end of the compression spring connected to the sliding piece and the other end connected to the cylinder.

[0009] When the fixing assembly secures the support rod to the mounting base, the cylinder and slide rod pass through the end of the support rod and the through hole, so that the two ends of the cylinder and slide rod are located on the outside of the support rod and the inside of the mounting base, respectively, thereby securing the support rod to the mounting base; when the slide plate is squeezed, the compression spring is compressed, and the slide rod slides along the cylinder, thereby extending the length of the fixing assembly.

[0010] According to the welding strength testing device for a steel rail turnout pad, the plurality of through holes are provided with mounting grooves on opposite sides of the two mounting seats, and the other end of the slide rod is provided with a mounting piece, which is located in the corresponding mounting groove.

[0011] By setting the mounting groove, when the fixing assembly secures the support rod to the mounting base, one end of the cylinder and the slide rod passes through the end of the support rod and the mounting base. Then, the slide rod is pressed down, causing the mounting piece to move away from the surface of the mounting base. The cylinder and the slide rod are rotated so that the mounting piece at the other end of the slide rod corresponds to the mounting groove. Finally, the slide rod is released, allowing it to return to its original position. The mounting piece is located in the mounting groove. At this point, the mounting groove can restrict the position of the mounting piece, thereby restricting the position of the cylinder and the slide rod.

[0012] According to the welding strength testing device for a steel rail turnout pad, a slider is provided at the bottom of the fixed base, and a groove is provided at the top of the support rod, with the slider slidingly connected within the groove.

[0013] By setting a slider at the bottom of the fixed base, the slider slides in the groove, which limits the range of movement of the slider and prevents the fixed base from shifting when it slides on the support rod.

[0014] According to the aforementioned welding strength testing device for a steel rail turnout pad, a bidirectional screw is rotatably arranged in the chute, and two fixed seats on the support rod are respectively arranged at both ends of the bidirectional screw. The sliders at the bottom of the two fixed seats are connected to the bidirectional screw. A first bevel gear is provided at one end of the bidirectional screw, and a second bevel gear that meshes with the first bevel gear is rotatably arranged in the chute. A rotating handle is rotatably arranged at the top of the support rod, and the bottom of the rotating handle is fixedly inserted into the second bevel gear.

[0015] When the fixed seat slides, the drive handle rotates, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate. The second bevel gear then drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the bidirectional screw to rotate. The bidirectional screw can move the two fixed seats that are connected to it closer or further apart. When fixing the test pad, the distance between the two fixed seats can be adjusted according to the width or length of the pad.

[0016] According to the welding strength testing device for a steel rail turnout pad, the top of the support rod is provided with sliding seats on both sides of the sliding groove, and both ends of the fixing rod are slidably connected to the corresponding sliding seats.

[0017] By setting up sliding blocks, the two ends of the fixed rod slide on the two sliding blocks respectively, and the sliding blocks can limit the fixed range of movement.

[0018] According to the aforementioned welding strength testing device for a steel rail turnout pad, the testing component includes a hydraulic press and a pressure block. The hydraulic press is connected to a gantry frame, and the pressure block is located at the output end of the hydraulic press and above the pad to be tested. A pressure sensor is provided at the connection between the pressure block and the hydraulic press.

[0019] When the testing component is working, the hydraulic press is started. The hydraulic press drives the pressure sensor and the pressure block to move downward. When the bottom of the pressure block contacts the pad to be tested, the hydraulic press continues to work, and the pressure block continues to move downward and squeeze the pad to be tested. At this time, the pressure sensor can record the pressure applied to the pad to be tested by the hydraulic press and the pressure block. The welding strength of the pad to be tested can be obtained based on this pressure.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] By setting movable support rods, fixing seats, and fixing rods, when fixing the test pad, the positions of the support rods and fixing seats can be adjusted according to the length and width of the test pad, and the distance between the support rods and fixing rods can be adjusted according to the thickness of the test pad, thus enabling the fixing of test pads of different sizes.

[0022] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
