Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway technology, and more specifically, to a turnout roller device and a turnout switch. Background Technology

[0002] A turnout roller assembly is a component used for railway turnouts. The roller assembly for passenger dedicated lines (CDLs) is specifically designed for CDLs. For example... Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the turnout roller device shows that a roller slide plate 3 is fixedly installed below the main rail 5. The turnout roller device 1 is mounted on the roller slide plate 3, and is located between the switch rail 2 and the roller slide plate 3. Specifically, the roller slide plate 3 has mounting threaded holes 4. Bolts 6 pass through the turnout roller device 1 and are screwed into the mounting threaded holes 4 to fix the turnout roller device 1 to the roller slide plate 3. The top of the turnout roller device 1 supports the bottom of the switch rail 2. The main function of the turnout roller device 1 is to ensure the smooth movement of the switch rail 2 during switch switching and reduce the friction of the moving switch rail 2. To meet the operating requirements of high-speed trains, the turnout roller device 1 is required to have high load-bearing capacity and good wear resistance. The turnout roller device 1 is usually made of high-strength alloy material and its dimensional accuracy and surface finish are ensured through precision machining processes.

[0003] In practical applications, turnout roller assemblies require regular maintenance and inspection to ensure stable performance. Maintenance work mainly includes cleaning and wear inspection. Cleaning aims to remove dirt and impurities from the roller surface to prevent them from affecting the normal operation of the switch. Wear inspection aims to promptly identify and replace worn components to avoid affecting the safe operation of high-speed trains due to component damage.

[0004] Traditional turnout roller devices typically employ a fixed structure. The roller height is adjusted by replacing roller height adjustment plates of different specifications to adapt to different operating conditions. However, adjusting the roller height requires the preparation of roller height adjustment plates of appropriate height and the disassembly of the entire turnout roller device to replace the roller height adjustment plates. This adjustment process is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0059] The turnout roller device provided in this embodiment achieves rapid adjustment of the axis height of the roller body 300 by rotating the roller shaft 310, thereby adapting to different operating conditions. This eliminates the step of configuring roller height adjustment plates of corresponding heights based on survey results for different operating conditions, as is done in existing technologies. It also eliminates the need to disassemble the entire turnout roller device during roller height adjustment and maintenance, as is required in existing technologies. This turnout roller device belongs to the category of passenger dedicated line turnout roller devices and is applicable to various high-speed railway turnout systems, especially in situations with high requirements for operating speed and safety.

[0060] See Figures 2-12 As shown, the turnout roller device includes a first frame 100, a second frame 200, and a roller body 300.

[0061] The roller body 300 includes a roller shaft 310 and rolling elements 320; the roller shaft 310 includes a central shaft portion 311 and two shaft ends 312, and the central shaft portion 311 is connected between the two shaft ends 312 along the axial direction of the roller shaft 310; the axis of the roller shaft 310 is collinear with the axis of the rolling elements 320, and the axis of the roller shaft 310 is the axis of the central shaft portion 311.

[0062] The rolling element 320 is sleeved on the middle portion 311 of the shaft, and the rolling element 320 is configured to rotate about the middle portion 311 of the shaft.

[0063] The first frame 100 is connected to the second frame 200 and forms a shaft mating hole 120 for accommodating at least a portion of the shaft end 312, and a receiving cavity 110 for accommodating the rolling element 320.

[0064] The cross-section of the shaft end 312 is a regular polygon, and the regular polygon is a centrally symmetric figure. The shape of the shaft mating hole 120 is adapted to the shape of the shaft end 312. Optionally, the regular polygon is, for example, a square, a regular hexagon, a regular octagon, etc. In some embodiments, the shaft end 312 is a regular polygonal prism, which may be cut from a circular prism.

[0065] In some embodiments, the distances between the axis of the shaft end 312 and each side of the regular polygon are not the same, that is, the distances between the axis of the shaft end 312 and each side of the shaft end 312 are not the same. Alternatively, the distances between the axis of the shaft end 312 and each side of the regular polygon are partially different, that is, the distances between the axis of the shaft end 312 and each side of the shaft end 312 are partially different.

[0066] In this embodiment, the shaft end 312 is configured to rotate so that the shaft end 312 engages with the shaft mating hole 120, so that the roller shaft 310 rotates synchronously with the shaft end 312, thereby adjusting the height of the axis of the roller shaft 310, and further adjusting the height of the rolling element 320. In this embodiment, the first frame 100 is, for example, located above the second frame 200.

[0067] The turnout roller device described in this embodiment includes a first frame 100, a second frame 200, and a roller body 300. The roller body 300 includes a roller shaft 310 and rolling elements 320. The roller shaft 310 includes a central shaft portion 311 and two end shaft portions 312. The distances between the axis of the end shaft portion 312 and each side of the regular polygon are not the same, or the distances between the axis of the end shaft portion 312 and each side of the regular polygon are partially different. The height of the axis of the roller shaft 310 can be adjusted by rotating the end shaft portions 312, thereby adjusting the position of the outer sleeve on the central shaft portion. The height of the rolling element 320 on 311; the cross-section of the shaft end 312 is a regular polygon, and the regular polygon is a centrally symmetrical figure, which makes it easy to adjust the rotation angle of the shaft end 312 so that the rolling element 320 reaches the preset height. This can realize the rapid adjustment of the height of the rolling element 320, which can eliminate the step of configuring the roller height adjustment plate with a suitable height in the prior art. It can effectively avoid the need to disassemble the entire turnout roller device to install the roller height adjustment plate with a suitable height in the prior art, and effectively improve the efficiency of the height adjustment of the rolling element 320.

[0068] See Figures 2-10 As shown, in some embodiments, the cross-section of the shaft end 312 is square; the distance between the axis of the shaft end 312 and the four sides of the square is not the same, that is, the distance between the axis of the shaft end 312 and the four sides of the shaft end 312 is not the same. With this design, it is easy to adjust the rotation angle of the shaft end 312 so that the rolling element 320 reaches the preset height, and the height of the rolling element 320 can be quickly adjusted.

[0069] Optionally, the roller 310 may be made of stainless steel or other materials, such as 95Cr18 martensitic stainless steel or other stainless steel materials with better performance.

[0070] Optionally, the roller 310 has center holes on both end faces, and the two end faces 312 are machined with four planes, each plane being at a different distance L from the center of the center hole. The distance from the center of the center hole to the plane is also the distance from the plane to the axis of the roller 310. For example, when the cross-section of the end face 312 is square, the four planes of the end face 312 are sequentially connected as a first plane, a second plane, a third plane, and a fourth plane. The first plane is opposite to the third plane, and the second plane is opposite to the fourth plane. The distance from the first plane to the axis of the roller 310 is L1, the distance from the second plane to the axis of the roller 310 is L2, the distance from the third plane to the axis of the roller 310 is L3, and the distance from the fourth plane to the axis of the roller 310 is L4. Then L1 + L3 = L2 + L4; for example, L1 = 5.5mm, L2 = 7mm, L3 = 10mm, and L4 = 8.5mm. Figure 9 As shown.

[0071] See Figures 2-5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the first frame 100 includes a corresponding first top surface and a first bottom surface, and the second frame 200 includes a corresponding second top surface and a second bottom surface. The first bottom surface of the first frame 100 mates with the second top surface of the second frame 200 to form a shaft mating hole 120 to accommodate at least a portion of the shaft end 312. The second bottom surface of the second frame 200 rests on the roller slide plate of the turnout switch.

[0072] The shaft mating hole 120 includes a first shaft hole area 121 and a second shaft hole area 122.

[0073] The first shaft hole area 121 is provided on the first bottom surface of the first frame 100, and the second shaft hole area 122 is provided on the second top surface of the second frame 200.

[0074] Along the radial direction of the roller body 300, the sum of the depth of the first shaft hole area 121 and the depth of the second shaft hole area 122 is not greater than the height of the shaft end 312, so as to securely clamp the shaft end 312.

[0075] Optionally, the first top surface includes a protrusion 130 corresponding to the first shaft hole area 121, and the surface of the rolling element 320 facing away from the second bottom surface protrudes from the protrusion 130. After optimizing the structure of the first frame 100, the protrusion 130 is formed at the position corresponding to the first shaft hole area 121, so as to reduce the mass of the first frame 100 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the production cost of the turnout roller device to a certain extent.

[0076] See Figures 6-10 As shown, in some embodiments, the roller body 300 further includes a sealing frame 330 and a seal 340.

[0077] The roller 310 also includes a shaft sealing mating part 313; the shaft sealing mating part 313 connects the middle part 311 of the shaft and the end part 312 of the shaft, and the outer diameter of the shaft sealing mating part 313 is smaller than the outer diameter of the middle part 311 of the shaft, and the axis of the shaft sealing mating part 313 and the axis of the middle part 311 of the shaft are collinear; that is, the roller 310 is stepped, and a step is formed at the junction of the shaft sealing mating part 313 and the middle part 311 of the shaft. Optionally, the cross-sectional area of ​​the shaft sealing mating part 313 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the end part 312 of the shaft.

[0078] Optionally, the sealing skeleton 330 is fitted over the shaft sealing mating part 313, and the sealing skeleton 330 and the shaft sealing mating part 313 are interference-fitted to securely fit the sealing skeleton 330 onto the shaft sealing mating part 313; the sealing skeleton 330 is located inside the receiving cavity 110, and there is a gap between the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 and the sealing skeleton 330; the gap between the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 and the sealing skeleton 330 prevents the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 from interfering with the rotation of the rolling element 320.

[0079] Optionally, the outer peripheral surface of the sealing skeleton 330 is provided with a skeleton groove, which is located at one end of the sealing skeleton 330 near the middle part 311 of the shaft; the seal 340 is accommodated in the skeleton groove, and the end of the seal 340 is in sealing contact with the end of the rolling element 320; the seal 340 is configured not to rotate with the rotation of the rolling element 320; optionally, the seal 340 is interference-fitted with the sealing skeleton 330 to securely install the seal 340 on the sealing skeleton 330.

[0080] Optionally, the outer diameter of the sealing skeleton 330 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rolling element 320.

[0081] Alternatively, the sealing skeleton 330 may be made of plastic, stainless steel, or alloy. For example, the sealing skeleton 330 may be made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66.

[0082] See Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the roller body 300 further includes a bushing 350; the bushing 350 is connected between the shaft center 311 and the rolling element 320; the wear resistance of the bushing 350 is stronger than that of the rolling element 320. The bushing 350 effectively reduces friction, for example, enabling oil-free lubrication, and also improves the wear resistance of the rolling element 320 on the shaft center 311, thereby increasing the service life of the roller body 300 to a certain extent.

[0083] Optionally, the shaft center 311 is clearance-fitted with the bushing 350.

[0084] Optionally, the rolling element 320 is interference-fitted with the bushing 350 so that the bushing 350 is securely connected inside the rolling element 320.

[0085] Optionally, the bushing 350 is made of composite material, such as a three-layer SF-1W type composite material (DC01 substrate + intermediate copper alloy sintered layer + black modified polytetrafluoroethylene coating with a thickness of 0.01 mm to 0.03 mm on the inner surface) rolled up.

[0086] Optionally, the rolling element 320 may be made of stainless steel or other materials, such as 40Cr13 martensitic stainless steel or other stainless steel materials with better performance.

[0087] In some embodiments, the number of roller bodies 300 along the axial direction perpendicular to the roller shaft 310 is one or two. For example Figures 2-4 The turnout roller assembly shown includes two roller bodies 300. Figure 5 The turnout roller assembly shown includes one roller body 300.

[0089] Along the axial direction perpendicular to the roller shaft 310, the turnout roller assembly is provided with two shaft mating holes 120.

[0090] The height of the shaft mating hole 120 near the cavity opening 111 is higher than the height of the shaft mating hole 120 away from the cavity opening 111; wherein, the height of the shaft mating hole 120 refers to the distance between the shaft mating hole 120 and the surface of the second frame 200 facing away from the first frame 100. In this embodiment, the height of the shaft mating hole 120 near the cavity opening 111 is higher than the height of the shaft mating hole 120 away from the cavity opening 111, that is, the height of the shaft end 312 near the cavity opening 111 is higher than the height of the shaft end 312 away from the cavity opening 111, so as to facilitate the smooth movement of the switch rail during the switching process.

[0091] See Figures 2-5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, both the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 are provided with mounting holes 140.

The height of the axis of the roller shaft 310 can be adjusted by rotating the shaft end 312, thereby adjusting the height of the rolling element 320 sleeved on the middle part 311 of the shaft. Since the cross-section of the shaft end 312 is a regular polygon and the regular polygon is a centrally symmetrical figure, the rotation angle of the shaft end 312 can be easily adjusted to make the rolling element 320 reach a preset height. This allows for rapid adjustment of the height of the rolling element 320, eliminating the need for the roller height adjustment plate to be fitted with a suitable height in the prior art. It also effectively avoids the need to disassemble the entire turnout roller device to install the roller height adjustment plate of a suitable height in the prior art, thus effectively improving the efficiency of the height adjustment of the rolling element 320.

[0098] The turnout roller device and turnout switch described in this embodiment have the following effects:

[0099] 1. Quick adjustment: By rotating the roller shaft 310, specifically the end 312 of the shaft, the height of the rolling element 320 can be quickly adjusted, that is, the height of the roller can be adjusted without replacing the height adjustment plate, which greatly shortens the maintenance time.

[0100] 2. Precise control: By adjusting the rotation angle of the shaft end 312, different mating surfaces of the shaft end 312 can be changed, allowing the rolling element 320 to reach a preset height, ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment.

[0101] 3. Reduced maintenance costs: The simple and quick adjustment process reduces reliance on professional personnel, thereby lowering maintenance costs.
