Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of railway signaling equipment technology, and in particular to emergency signaling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of railway transportation, the requirements for railway traffic safety and transportation efficiency are increasing. When a signal malfunctions, quickly completing emergency repairs and restoring signal display is a crucial link in ensuring the safe and smooth operation of railway transportation.

[0003] In related technologies, high-mast signal lights are widely used on site. These signal lights typically use precast concrete pillars as the supporting structure. In practical applications, the concrete pillars must first be transported to the site, followed by construction steps such as excavation of the foundation pit, hoisting of the pillars, backfilling and compaction.

[0004] However, the aforementioned traditional high-mast signaling systems have the following problems: First, the concrete masts themselves are enormous in size and weight, making transportation extremely inconvenient. Second, the entire installation process is extremely labor-intensive, requiring a large amount of manpower and machinery, and the deep pit work and high-altitude installation pose a serious threat to the personal safety of construction workers. The entire process is too time-consuming, failing to meet emergency deadlines and severely impacting normal railway transportation operations. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an emergency signaling device to address the problems of inconvenient transportation, cumbersome installation steps, time and labor costs, and disruption to railway transportation in the existing signaling installation process.

[0006] An emergency signaling device, comprising:

[0007] Base with long angle steel;

[0008] A mounting assembly is used to fix the base long angle steel to the rail;

[0009] The base plate is fixedly mounted on the long angle steel of the base.

[0010] The support column is vertically mounted on the base plate;

[0011] The mounting platform is fixedly installed at the top of the support column;

[0012] Signal components are mounted on the mounting platform.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a fixed fastener movably connected to the long angle steel of the base, and a fastener adjuster cooperating with the fixed fastener; the fastener adjuster is disposed between the fixed fastener and the rail.

[0014] In one embodiment, the base long angle steel has at least one elongated hole, and the fastener is connected to the base long angle steel through the elongated hole.

[0015] In one embodiment, the elongated hole includes a first elongated hole disposed on the outer side of the base long angle steel and a second elongated hole disposed on the inner side of the base long angle steel.

[0016] In one embodiment, the fastener is fixedly connected to the rail base or rail web, and the fastener is provided with a fixing screw hole;

[0017] The fastener adjuster is a wedge block or a top block, and the fastener adjuster is provided with screw holes;

[0018] The connecting component is a bolt.

[0019] In one embodiment, a plurality of the support columns are arranged laterally at intervals on the base plate, and the support columns are steel pipes.

[0020] In one embodiment, the base plate is a rectangular steel plate, and the base plate has multiple sets of mounting holes along its long side for connecting with the support column.

[0021] In one embodiment, the mounting holes are screw holes, and each group includes at least three spaced screw holes with a gap between each group of screw holes.

[0022] In one embodiment, the mounting platform has a central lead hole and at least two mounting holes for fixing the signal component.

[0023] In one embodiment, the mounting platform is a rectangular steel plate; the two fixing holes are respectively disposed on both sides of the central lead hole.

[0024] The aforementioned emergency signal equipment is assembled into a modular signal device by combining a base plate, support column, mounting platform, and signal components. The entire signal device is then locked and fixed to the rail using the clamping components and the base long angle steel, enabling rapid installation, convenient transportation and disassembly, and flexible use of signal light positions.

[0036] Existing traditional high-mast signal lights suffer from problems such as inconvenient transportation, time-consuming installation, safety hazards, and inability to meet the needs of rapid emergency repairs.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the installation of an emergency signaling device according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of an emergency signaling device according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0038] To address the aforementioned technical problems, one embodiment of this application provides an emergency signaling device, comprising a base long angle steel 10, a mounting assembly, a base plate 30, a support column 40, an installation platform 50, and a signaling component 60, enabling modular installation and rapid deployment.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting assembly is used to fix the base long angle steel 10 to the rail 70. The base plate 30 is fixedly mounted on the base long angle steel 10. The support column 40 is vertically mounted on the base plate 30. The mounting platform 50 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support column 40. The signal assembly 60 is mounted on the mounting platform 50.

[0040] The base long angle steel 10 serves as the load-bearing part of the entire equipment. The base long angle steel 10 has a length of 210cm and a sufficient span to cross the steel rail 70, ensuring overall stability.

[0041] The mounting assembly includes a fastener 21 and a fastener adjuster 22.

[0042] An elongated oval hole, or elliptical hole, is pre-drilled on the base long angle steel 10. The fixing fastener 21 is connected to the base long angle steel 10 via a connector, such as a bolt, passing through the elongated oval hole. The fastener adjuster 22 is placed between the fixing fastener 21 and the bottom or web of the rail 70.

[0043] An adjustable locking mechanism is formed by connecting the clamping component to the rail 70. An elongated hole allows for fine-tuning of the position of the fixing fastener 21 during installation to accommodate different rail types or installation locations. After initial positioning, tightening the fastening bolts on the fastener adjuster 22 moves the adjuster, eliminating the gap between the fixing fastener 21 and the rail 70 and generating pre-tension. This ultimately clamps the entire signaling equipment onto the rail 70, avoiding the use of traditional cement pits, shortening installation time, meeting the requirements of rapid repairs, and significantly improving the safety of the installation process.

[0044] The base plate 30 is a rectangular steel plate. The base plate 30 is fixedly installed on one side of the long angle steel 10 of the base by bolts, and the base plate 30 serves the functions of connection and load distribution.

[0045] The support column 40 is vertically welded or bolted to the base plate 30. Using lightweight steel pipes as the support column 40 reduces the overall weight of the equipment compared to traditional cement columns, solving the problem of inconvenient transportation. Furthermore, the entire structure is modular, allowing for disassembly and transportation, facilitating rapid on-site assembly.

[0046] The mounting platform 50 is fixed to the top of the support column 40. The mounting platform 50 has a central lead hole 51 for cable threading and at least two fixing holes 52 for mounting the signal assembly 60. The fixing holes 52 on the mounting platform 50 are standardized interfaces, which allows the signal assembly 60 to be configured according to the actual light position of the signal being replaced on site, improving its versatility and enhancing its emergency response capability and applicability.

[0047] In summary, by assembling the base plate 30, support column 40, mounting platform 50, and signal component 60 into a modular signaling device, and using the clamping component and base long angle steel 10 to lock and fix the entire signaling device onto the rail 70, rapid installation of the signaling device is achieved. This also facilitates transportation and disassembly, enabling flexible use of signal light positions. Consequently, emergency response time is effectively shortened, railway transportation safety is improved, and the problems of traditional signaling devices—such as difficult transportation, time-consuming installation, safety risks, and inability to meet emergency repair requirements—are solved.

[0048] In one embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a fastener 21 movably connected to the base long angle steel 10, and a fastener adjuster 22 cooperating with the fastener 21; the fastener adjuster 22 is disposed between the fastener 21 and the rail 70.

[0049] Specifically, the fixing fastener 21 is a metal block with a length of 14cm, a width of 8cm, and a height of 3.5cm. A fixing screw hole with a diameter of 2.2cm is provided on the metal block. The fixing fastener 21 is movably connected to the base long angle steel 10 via a connector, such as a bolt and nut.

[0050] The fastener adjuster 22 is a metal block, 8cm long, 2cm wide, and 4cm deep, with a 1.6cm diameter screw hole. During installation, the operator first positions the fixing fastener 21 through the elongated hole, hooking it onto or against the rail web or base of the rail 70. Then, the fastener adjuster 22 is placed into the gap between the fixing fastener 21 and the bearing surface of the rail 70. Finally, a fastening bolt is screwed into the screw hole of the fastener adjuster 22. By continuously tightening the bolt, the fastener adjuster 22 is driven to move within the gap, using its wedging or pressing action to eliminate assembly gaps between components and generate friction, ultimately locking the entire base angle steel 10 onto the rail 70.

[0051] In one embodiment, the base long angle steel 10 has at least one elongated hole, and the fastener 21 is connected to the base long angle steel 10 through the elongated hole.

[0052] Specifically, at least one elongated hole is provided on the base long angle steel 10, through which the connecting piece, i.e., the bolt, passes and is fastened to the fixing fastener 21. The shape of the elongated hole provides the fixing fastener 21 with a degree of freedom of movement along the length of the base long angle steel 10, allowing it to be laterally adjusted according to the actual size and installation position of the rail 70, thereby achieving adaptability to different rail types.

[0053] In one embodiment, the elongated hole includes a first elongated hole 11 disposed on the outer side of the base long angle steel 10 and a second elongated hole 12 disposed on the inner side of the base long angle steel 10.

[0054] Specifically, the center of the first elongated hole 11 is 4cm from the edge of the long angle steel 10 on the base, and its length is 9cm and its width is 2.2cm. The second elongated hole 12 is 16cm from the first elongated hole 11, and its length is 11cm and its width is 2.2cm. The elongated holes are symmetrically arranged on the inner and outer sides of the angle steel, so that the fixing fasteners 21 can be clamped and fixed simultaneously from the inner and outer sides of the rail 70, ensuring balanced clamping force, enhancing overall stability, and effectively preventing the equipment from loosening due to vibrations generated when the train passes.

[0055] In one embodiment, the fixing fastener 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom or web of the rail 70, and the fixing fastener 21 is provided with fixing screw holes; the fastener adjuster 22 is a wedge block or a top block, and the fastener adjuster 22 is provided with screw holes; the connecting member is a bolt.

[0056] Specifically, the fixing fastener 21 is fixedly connected to the rail base or rail web of the rail 70. When the fixing fastener 21 is hooked to the rail base, it provides an upward locking force; when the fixing fastener 21 is abutting against the rail web, it provides a lateral locking force. The fixing fastener 21 has a fixing screw hole with a diameter of 2.2 cm. The fastener adjuster 22 is a wedge block or a top block, which has a screw hole with a diameter of 1.6 cm. When the fastener adjuster 22 is a wedge block, the bolt screwed into the screw hole can push its inclined surface to slide, thereby generating a continuous tightening force; when it is a top block, the bolt directly pushes it to move to achieve locking. These two structures can convert the tightening torque of the bolt into a linear tightening force.

[0057] In one embodiment, a plurality of the support columns 40 are arranged laterally at intervals on the base plate 30, and the support columns 40 are steel pipes.

[0058] Specifically, two support columns 40 are arranged horizontally and parallel to each other on the base plate 30 in a direction perpendicular to the rail 70, i.e., at a certain interval. Compared with the single-column structure, the double-column layout improves the load-bearing stability of the upper signal component 60, effectively preventing swaying or twisting when subjected to strong winds or vibrations caused by passing trains, thus ensuring the reliability of the signal display.

[0059] The support column 40 is a steel pipe with a diameter of 8cm, a length of 54cm, and a wall thickness of 0.6cm. Using a steel pipe as the support column 40 ensures structural strength while achieving lightweight components, facilitating transportation and rapid on-site assembly.

[0060] In one embodiment, the base plate 30 is a rectangular steel plate, and the base plate 30 has a plurality of mounting holes 31 along its long side for connecting with the support column 40.

[0061] Specifically, the base plate 30 is a rectangular steel plate with a length of 60cm, a width of 50cm, and a height of 1cm. Multiple sets of mounting holes 31 are provided along the long side of the base plate 30 for connecting with the support column 40, thus achieving the connection.

[0062] In one embodiment, the mounting hole 31 is a screw hole, and each group includes at least three screw holes spaced apart, with a gap between each group of screw holes.

[0063] Specifically, the mounting holes 31 are screw holes with a diameter of 2.2cm, and each group includes three screw holes with a spacing of 25cm between two screw holes. The multiple sets of standardized mounting holes 31 pre-set on the base plate 30 allow the installation position of the support column 40 to be flexibly adjusted within a certain range according to actual needs, improving versatility and adaptability, and enabling it to be compatible with different models of signal components 60.

[0064] In one embodiment, the mounting platform 50 has a central lead hole 51 and at least two fixing holes 52 for fixing the signal component 60. The mounting platform 50 is a rectangular steel plate; the two fixing holes 52 are respectively located on both sides of the central lead hole 51.

[0065] Specifically, a central lead hole 51 with a diameter of 3cm is provided at the center of the mounting platform 50. Two fixing holes 52 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central lead hole 51. The diameter of the fixing holes 52 is 2.2cm, and the center distance between the two fixing holes 52 is 20.5cm.

[0066] By symmetrically arranging the fixing holes 52 on both sides of the central lead hole 51, a balanced installation reference is provided for the signal component 60, ensuring that the signal component 60 is subjected to uniform force after installation, effectively resisting wind loads and vibrations, and enhancing the overall stability of the equipment. At the same time, the setting of the central lead hole 51 enables the centralized and standardized layout of power lines and signal lines. Cables can be led from inside the support column 40 through the central lead hole 51 to the signal component 60, avoiding the safety hazards such as snagging and wear that may be caused by messy exposed cables. This ensures both aesthetically pleasing wiring and improves the safety and reliability of equipment operation.

[0067] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0068] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
