Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track technology, and in particular to a turnout route confirmation auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] Confirming the position and route status of turnouts in railway stations is a core aspect of ensuring train operation safety and improving station operational efficiency. While computer interlocking systems can determine the occupancy status of track or route sections through the "occupancy / idle" status of track circuits, providing a basic guarantee for operational safety, computer interlocking cannot directly and accurately pinpoint the train's specific location within the track. Furthermore, in situations such as turnout indicator malfunctions, complex station environments (e.g., obstructed visibility, insufficient lighting at night), or track circuit anomalies, it is difficult to intuitively and accurately present the actual position of the turnout and the true direction of the track. In these cases, staff still need to determine the turnout position and route status by observing the turnout indicator on-site and manually inspecting the track. However, these manual methods are difficult to quickly and accurately determine the current direction of the track. Each confirmation operation is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors in human judgment, potentially affecting subsequent operations and even posing safety hazards, thus compromising the convenience and accuracy of the work. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the existing technology for a turnout route confirmation auxiliary device to solve the problem of the difficulty in conveniently and accurately judging the position and route status of turnouts in railway stations, to realize the test confirmation of the current track direction, to facilitate staff to quickly grasp the track direction, to improve the efficiency and accuracy of railway station operations, and to bring convenience to railway station workers.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a turnout route confirmation auxiliary device, which includes a support component 1, a connecting component 2, and a rolling component 3. The rolling component 3 can be supported by the support component 1, and the two sides of the support component 1 can be connected together by the connecting component 2, so that it can be folded and carried during transportation.

[0027] Specifically, it includes a support component 1, a connecting component 2, and a rolling component 3; the two sides of the connecting component 2 are connected to the support component 1, the support component 1 is provided with the rolling component 3, the support component 1 can support the rolling component 3, the rolling component 3 can roll on the track, and the track direction can be tested and confirmed; the support component 1 can be folded through the connecting component 2.

[0028] Preferably, during use, the two sets of support components 1 are connected and laid flat through the connecting component 2, and the rolling components 3 on both sides roll on the track. At the track junction, it can be determined which direction the track leads to, avoiding human error. If the track junction malfunctions, the rolling component 3 will derail or be unable to move forward.

[0029] Preferably, the rolling component 3 can be a self-running roller, or it can be a non-powered roller, and it can also be propelled forward by an auxiliary push rod 7.

[0030] It should be noted that the rolling component 3 may employ an internal drive mechanism to drive the rollers to rotate, such as by a roller motor, or by other existing drive methods.

[0031] Preferably, the support component 1 adopts a lightweight design to effectively reduce weight.

[0032] Furthermore, the rolling assembly 3 includes a rolling element 31 and an isolation buffer 32; the isolation buffer 32 is provided on one side of the rolling element 31, the rolling element 31 can roll on the track, and the isolation buffer 32 can buffer and limit the rolling element 31.

[0033] Furthermore, the rolling element 31 includes a rolling wheel 311, which can roll on the upper surface of the track.

[0034] Preferably, the width of the rolling wheel 311 is the same as the width of the track. The isolation buffer 32 can ensure that the rolling wheel 311 plays a role in limiting and buffering movement when the track is normal. When the track at the intersection is misaligned, the rolling component 3 will derail or be unable to move forward, which indicates that the track at the intersection is faulty.

[0035] Furthermore, the isolation buffer 32 includes a limiting wheel 321, with the limiting wheel 321 connected to one side of the rolling wheel 311. The diameter of the limiting wheel 321 is larger than the diameter of the rolling wheel 311. The limiting wheel 321 is located on the side of the track and can restrict the movement direction of the rolling wheel 311.

[0036] Furthermore, the limiting wheel 321 has a certain degree of elasticity, and the circumferential surface of the limiting wheel 321 has a certain curvature.

[0037] Preferably, the limiting wheel 321 has a certain degree of elasticity. Since both sides of its surface have a certain curvature, it can guide while also acting as a buffer. The design of the limiting wheel 321 can avoid limiting the direction of the rolling wheel 311.

[0038] Furthermore, the connecting component 2 includes a connecting shaft 21, and multiple sets of connectors 22 are provided on both sides of the connecting shaft 21; the connecting shaft 21 is connected to the support components 1 on both sides through the multiple sets of connectors 22.

[0039] Preferably, the connector 22 includes a hinge, but it can also be other connecting structures, as long as they can achieve the function of connecting and folding.

[0040] Furthermore, a handle 4 is provided on the support component 1 or the connecting component 2, and a handle cavity 5 is provided inside the handle 4, through which the handle 4 can be gripped.

[0041] Preferably, when the two sets of support components 1 are in the folded state, the equipment can be easily grasped by the handle 4, making it convenient for staff to carry; meeting the needs of single-person portable operation and solving the problems of large size and inconvenient handling of traditional track inspection equipment.

[0042] Furthermore, a recording component 6 is also provided on the support component 1; the recording component 6 can record the status of the track.

[0043] Preferably, the recording component 6 can solve the problem of jitter in the recorder 63 during testing, ensuring that the turnout status is clearly recorded.

[0044] Furthermore, the recording component 6 includes a recorder 63 and a camera 61. The support component 1 is provided with a support groove 62, and the recorder 63 is disposed in the support groove 62. The recorder 63 is electrically connected to the camera 61.

[0045] Furthermore, the support component 1 is also provided with an auxiliary push rod 7, which can assist the support component 1 in driving the rolling component 3 to roll along the track.

[0046] Preferably, the auxiliary push rod 7 can serve as an emergency measure, and can be used to push the support component 1 and the rolling component 3 forward. Of course, the auxiliary push rod 7 can also be omitted.

[0047] In summary, this utility model, through optimized mechanical structure design, has the following significant advantages compared to existing technologies that rely on manual track inspection and whose traditional track inspection equipment is bulky and cumbersome to operate:

[0048] 1. Portability and rapid deployment: The foldable mechanical structure allows for quick switching between working and storage modes, solving the problems of difficult handling and single-person operation of traditional track inspection equipment. It facilitates flexible transfer of personnel between different tracks in the station, enabling rapid arrival at the test position and commencement of operations, thereby improving the response efficiency of turnout route confirmation.

[0049] 2. Reliable travel and status feedback: Through optimized mechanical structure design of wheel set and rail surface fit, it can stably travel through turnouts, ensuring effective test confirmation of the track direction; in abnormal open route scenarios, the mechanical structure can intuitively feedback the route abnormality through the physical response of "turnout jamming" or "derailment", which solves the problems of easy misjudgment by manual judgment and the inability of computer interlocking to directly present the actual physical state of the turnout, providing reliable mechanical verification for operational safety.

[0050] 3. Structural optimization for complex scenarios: In response to the characteristics of the station environment, the mechanical structure is reserved with dedicated sensor installation interfaces, such as the dedicated bracket for recorder 63, which solves the problem of recorder 63 shaking during testing and ensures clear recording of turnout status; at the same time, it can integrate mechanical accessories such as emergency push handles, night lighting and warning flashing lights, improve the ease of operation and safety of the device in complex environments such as at night and when visibility is obstructed, and make up for the shortcomings of traditional manual inspection that depend on environmental conditions.
