Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrified railway and urban rail transit technology, specifically to a copper-magnesium alloy contact wire that improves tensile strength and material utilization. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of electrified railways and urban rail transit, the contact wire is a key component for power transmission, and its performance directly affects the safety and stability of train operation. Currently, conventional copper and copper alloy contact wires generally adopt a gourd-shaped cross-section design with clamping grooves. This design faces the challenge of insufficient tensile strength in high-speed electrified railways (speeds of 400-450 km / h), and also suffers from low material utilization and high production costs.
[0003] According to the railway industry standard TB / T2809-2017 "Copper and Copper Alloy Contact Wires for Electrified Railways", the local wear of contact wires used in high-speed electrified railway contact networks must be controlled within 20%, while the wear area of rigid contact networks for urban rail transit must not exceed 35%.
[0004] However, the gourd-shaped cross-section contains redundant material in the middle and upper regions, resulting in an overly large overall cross-sectional area and significant material waste. For example, the actual working area at the bottom of the original contact wire accounts for only 53.93%, while the upper clamping area accounts for 20.01%, indicating room for optimization. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a copper-magnesium alloy contact wire that improves tensile strength and material utilization. The present invention can improve the wear resistance of the contact wire by increasing the cross-sectional area ratio of the support part. At the same time, it can reduce the material consumption in the production of the contact wire while ensuring normal use by adjusting the various dimensions and angles of the clamping part, connecting part and support part.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a copper-magnesium alloy contact wire that improves tensile strength and material utilization. It includes a clamping part located at the top of the contact wire and having an overall fan-shaped cross-section. The center point of the arc edge of the clamping part is located in the middle of the contact wire and is used to cooperate with the dropper wire clamp.
[0007] The connecting part is located below the clamping part and has an overall cross-sectional shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The smaller end of the connecting part is located near the clamping part. Grooves are formed between the two sides of the connecting part and the two sides of the clamping part. The connecting part and the clamping part are located on the same center line.
[0008] The support part is located at the bottom of the contact line and connected to the clamping part below. The support part is also located on the same center line as the connecting part. The cross-section of the support part is fan-shaped, and the fan-shaped structure has a straight segment that is connected to the bottom of the connecting part. The support part slides with the pantograph.
[0009] The clamping part accounts for 20%-33% of the contact wire's cross-sectional area, while the supporting part accounts for 55%-60%. Increasing the proportion of the supporting part's cross-sectional area improves the wear resistance of the contact wire.
[0010] The total height of the contact wire is 14.5mm-15mm, of which the height of the support part is 3.5mm-4mm and the height of the support part is 7.4mm-7.8mm.
[0011] The distance between the two ends of the arc edge on the clamping part is 7.53mm-9.77mm.
[0012] The width of the bottom plane of the clamping part is 5.3mm-7.17mm.
[0013] The angle between the outer surfaces of both sides of the clamping part and the horizontal plane at the bottom of the clamping part is 54°-59°.
[0014] The angle between the outer surfaces of the two sides of the connector and the top horizontal plane of the connector is 30°-35°.
[0015] The corner of the trench is R0.4×6mm.
[0016] The diameter of the support part is 14.8mm-15.5mm. The top of the clamping part has multiple identification grooves with a radius of 0.25mm-0.4mm.
[0017] The bottom of the support has a downwardly extending structure that connects to the top surface of the support. The cross-section of the support is semi-circular.
[0018] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Improve tensile strength to meet the requirements of high-speed operation: To address the stringent tensile strength requirements of contact wires in high-speed electrified railways (400–450 km / h), this invention significantly enhances the overall mechanical properties of the contact wire by optimizing the structural proportions of the clamping, connecting, and supporting parts. Experimental data shows that the optimized contact wire maintains conductivity while increasing tensile strength by more than 12%, fully meeting the safety and stability requirements under high-speed operating conditions.
[0019] 2. Optimize material allocation and improve utilization rate: Breaking through the design limitations of traditional gourd-shaped cross-sections with redundant materials in the middle and upper parts, this utility model increases the cross-sectional area ratio of the support part to 55%-60%, while reducing the redundant area of the clamping part. Taking Example 3 as an example, the optimized material utilization rate is increased by 2.14%. Under the premise of ensuring the electromechanical performance of the contact wire, approximately 2.1 kg of copper-magnesium alloy material can be saved per kilometer of contact wire, significantly reducing production costs and resource consumption.
[0020] 3. Enhances wear resistance and extends service life: By increasing the cross-sectional area of the support section (actual working surface) to 59.14% and optimizing its fan-shaped structure and straight section design, this invention increases the contact area between the contact wire and the pantograph by more than 10%, resulting in a more uniform distribution. This effectively disperses sliding friction pressure, reduces local wear rates, and extends the wear life of the contact wire in high-speed sliding scenarios by more than 30%, thereby reducing maintenance frequency and replacement costs.

[0034] Example 2: The difference from the comparative example is that, for example Figure 3As shown: the total height of the contact line is 15 (±0.14) mm, of which the height of the clamping part 1 is 4 mm, the height of the connecting part 2 is 3.2 mm, and the diameter of the support part 3 is 15.2 (±0.29) mm.

This allows the clamping part 1 and the connecting part 2 to be used normally while increasing the tensile strength of the support part 3.
[0038] Example 3: The difference from the comparative example is that, for example Figure 4 As shown: the extension on the connecting part 2 is reduced, and the supporting part 3 is a fan-shaped structure with a straight line segment. The fan-shaped structure is not a semicircle, and the center of the fan-shaped structure is located directly above the straight line segment. The radius of the clamping part 1 is reduced, and the center of the adjusted clamping part 1 is located 0.7 mm directly above the center of the fan-shaped structure.
