[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The ballastless track elastomer pad shown includes:
[0040] The alloy jacket 100 has a hollow internal structure, which can effectively resist the corrosion of the external environment and various forces generated during track operation. Multiple support plates 110 are provided on the outside of the alloy jacket 100. Bolts 120 pass through the support plates 110 and connect the support plates 110 to other track components through the bolts 120, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the pad and ensures the stability of the pad on the track.
[0041] The pad assembly 200 is inserted downward into the interior of the alloy jacket 100 and plays an important supporting and buffering role in the track system. A rubber pad 700 is bonded between the upper surface of the alloy jacket 100 and the lower surface of the upper plate 220 with an adhesive. The rubber pad 700 has good elasticity and buffering performance, which can further buffer the impact force generated by the train operation. At the same time, the rubber pad 700 can also play a certain sealing role to prevent dust, debris and other objects from entering the interior of the pad and affecting the performance of the pad.
[0042] Multiple damping springs 300 are provided and installed between the alloy jacket 100 and the pad assembly 200, and are located inside the alloy jacket 100. The unique structure of the damping springs 300 enables them to provide strong and stable elastic buffering force when subjected to pressure, effectively mitigating the vibration and impact generated during track operation.
[0043] The elastic plate 400 contacts the pad assembly 200 and the alloy jacket 100 on its upper and lower sides, respectively. During the operation of the track system, the elastic plate 400 can further disperse the pressure and enhance the elasticity and flexibility of the entire structure. The elastic plate 400 has multiple through holes 410 for the damping springs 300 to pass through, providing space for the damping springs 300 so that they can freely expand and contract when subjected to force. The interior of the elastic plate 400 is filled with noise reduction material 420, which can effectively absorb the noise generated by the train operation and reduce the impact of noise on the surrounding environment.
[0044] A friction area 500 is formed between the inner wall of the alloy jacket 100 and the outer side of the pad assembly 200. When the track vibrates or displaces, the microstructures on the surfaces of the two interact to generate a moderate frictional force. This frictional force can suppress excessive shaking of the structure to a certain extent.
[0045] When the train is moving, the downward pad assembly 200 slides downward and squeezes the damping spring 300, causing the damping spring 300 to compress and store force for buffering.
[0046] By setting damping springs 300 and elastic plates 400, the impact and vibration generated by train operation can be effectively absorbed, improving the buffering and shock absorption performance of the track, ensuring the smoothness and comfort of train operation, reducing train operation noise, and minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment.
[0047] The design of the friction zone 500 increases the friction between the components of the pad, improves the stability of the pad, and also serves to dissipate kinetic energy.
[0048] The combination of the receiving plate 110 and the bolts 120 ensures the stability of the device installation and facilitates its installation and disassembly.
[0049] The presence of rubber gasket 700 further enhances the cushioning and sealing performance of the gasket.
[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pad assembly 200 includes:
[0051] The lower plate 210 is inserted downward into the interior of the alloy jacket 100 and contacts the top of the damping spring 300 to ensure a secure connection. The bottom of the lower plate 210 is in full contact with the top of the damping spring 300 to effectively transmit and buffer pressure.
[0052] The upper plate 220 is fixedly installed on top of the lower plate 210 and located outside the alloy jacket 100. The overall structure of the upper plate 220 is designed to be located outside the alloy jacket 100, providing additional protection and support for the entire device.
[0053] Metal plate 230, which is fixedly installed on the top of upper plate 220, is made of high-quality corrosion-resistant metal and is firmly fixed on the top of upper plate 220 using advanced welding technology, further enhancing the strength and stability of the overall structure.
[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, the friction area 500 includes:
[0055] External friction marks 510 are provided on the inner surface of the alloy jacket 100;
[0056] The inner friction groove 520 is set on the outer surface of the lower plate 210 and rubs against the outer friction groove 510.
[0057] The interaction between the external friction marks 510 and the internal friction marks 520 can increase the friction between the alloy jacket 100 and the pad assembly 200, making the pad more stable when subjected to external forces, preventing the pad assembly 200 from sliding relative to the alloy jacket 100, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the pad.
[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple metal pillars 600 are fixedly installed inside the alloy jacket 100, the lower plate 210, and the upper plate 220.
[0059] Among them, the metal column 600 can enhance the structural strength of the alloy jacket 100, the lower plate 210 and the upper plate 220, improve the load-bearing capacity of the pad, and enable it to withstand the large pressure and impact generated during train operation.
[0060] The working method of this utility model:
[0061] First, multiple damping springs 300 are installed sequentially inside the alloy outer sleeve 100 to ensure that the damping springs 300 are evenly distributed. The elastic plate 400 is placed between the pad assembly 200 and the alloy outer sleeve 100 so that the damping springs 300 pass through the through holes 410 on the elastic plate 400.
[0062] Insert the lower plate 210 of the pad assembly 200 into the alloy jacket 100 so that the lower plate 210 contacts the top of the damping spring 300.
[0063] The inner surface of the alloy jacket 100 is machined with an external friction mark 510, and the outer surface of the lower plate 210 is machined with an internal friction mark 520, ensuring that the external friction mark 510 and the internal friction mark 520 cooperate with each other to form a friction area 500.
[0064] Adhesive is applied to the upper surface of the alloy jacket 100 and the lower surface of the upper plate 220 to bond the rubber pad 700 between them.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
