An adaptive friction-reducing lubrication device for rail side

Abstract

An adaptive friction-reducing lubrication device for rail sides is disclosed, relating to the field of rail transit technology. This invention addresses the problems of existing rail lubrication methods that rely on manual brushing. Because the lubricant reaches the rail through random, non-directional flow under its own weight and the guidance of the brush, the application of lubricant is uncontrollable, resulting in uneven coverage and low efficiency. The device includes a solar panel 1 on the top of a lubricating oil tank 3, fixedly connected to one end of the top surface of the tank via a bracket 2. Coating plates 4 are installed on the two opposing inner sides of the outer rail 7 and inner rail 8. A proximity switch sensor 5 is located next to the coating plate 4 on the outer rail 7. An electric lubrication pump 10 is installed at the oil drain hole of the lubricating oil tank 3, with its output connected to the oil inlet of the coating plate 4 via a pipe. A control box 6 is located next to the lubricating oil tank 3. This invention is applicable to the field of automatic rail lubrication technology.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail transit technology, specifically to a rail side adaptive friction reduction and lubrication device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of the railway industry, the wear of rails and wheel flanges has increased accordingly. Rail side wear is particularly prominent during operation on numerous curved sections, leading to a shorter wheelset maintenance cycle. The vertical movement and significant lateral forces between the rails and wheels are the causes of wear, while sliding friction in the rail-wheel contact area is the condition for wear. When a train turns, because the wheels on both sides are connected by a single axle without differential control, sliding friction occurs between the wheel and rail in addition to rolling friction. Moreover, as the bending radius of the track decreases, the sliding friction during train turns becomes more pronounced. This not only causes severe wear on the rails and wheels but also generates abnormal noise, causing noise pollution.

[0003] To reduce frictional loss at curves in railway tracks, it is crucial to apply lubricant to the surface of the curves. This requires coating the rails with lubricating oil. The most common method in existing technology is to manually deliver the lubricant to the track surface using a brush to reduce friction. However, because the lubricant reaches the rails through random, non-directional flow under its own weight and the guiding effect of the brush, the final amount of lubricant reaching the rails is uncontrollable. Too much lubricant will reduce wheel braking performance and pose a safety hazard, while too little lubricant will not provide effective lubrication and will exacerbate wear between the wheels and the rails.

[0004] In summary, the current method of lubricating rails involves manual application. Because the lubricant reaches the rails through random, non-directional flow under its own weight and the guidance of the brush, the amount of lubricant applied is uncontrollable, the coverage is uneven, and the work efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the problem that existing methods of lubricating rails involve manual application, where the lubricant reaches the rails through random, non-directional flow under its own weight and the guidance of the brush, resulting in uncontrollable lubricant dosage, uneven coverage, and low work efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes an adaptive friction-reducing lubrication device for the rail side.

[0012] An L-shaped rubber seat 4-3 is provided at both ends of the upper surface of the intermediate oil hole plate 4-4, and a base pad 4-5 is provided at both ends of the lower surface of the intermediate oil hole plate 4-4. The L-shaped rubber seat 4-3 is fixedly connected to the base pad 4-5 by bolt assembly. A fixed angle steel 4-2 is provided along the length direction of the lower surface of the intermediate oil hole plate 4-4. A fixed block 4-1 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the intermediate oil hole plate 4-4.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing block 4-1, the fixing angle steel 4-2, and the intermediate oil hole plate 4-4 are integrally formed;

[0014] Furthermore, the fixed bracket 2 includes a folding frame 2-1, a pipe clamp 2-2, a hinge seat 2-3, a connecting rod 2-4, a fixed foot 2-5, a solar panel frame 2-6, a fixed beam 2-7, and a hinge 2-8;

[0015] A folding frame 2-1 is provided in the middle of one long side end face of the solar panel frame 2-6, and the folding frame 2-1 is hinged to the solar panel frame 2-6 via a hinge 2-8.

The friction-reducing agent is then delivered to the coating plate on the track through a high-pressure oil pipe. It is evenly distributed to each oil drain hole through the central oil hole plate in the coating plate, so that the friction-reducing agent is evenly and quantitatively sprayed onto the track, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of track lubrication operations.
