Abstract

OCR 09WP 21 / 07 / 2569 This invention relates to a device for measuring the gap and level of railroad tracks in the thermite welding process. Designed to measure the gap between the rail end and the height of the rail head within a single device. Used to prepare the rail alignment before welding to meet specified standard values. The equipment has a lightweight structure. It can be securely positioned, ensuring accurate measurements, reducing the need for multiple instruments, and decreasing the number of times it is used. In addition to measurement and reducing errors caused by operators, it also helps to speed up preparation work and reduce... The possibility of weld defects occurring, affecting the efficiency, quality, and reliability of the thermite welding process. Safe for traffic operation. This invention differs from commonly used devices because it incorporates measurements. Combining gap and rail level control into a single device reduces operational steps and increases ease of use. It also helps to ensure that the preparation of the rail before thermite welding is more accurate and efficient.

OCR 09WP 21 / 07 / 2569 1. The device for measuring the gap and level of the rail in the thermite welding process consists of a frame (1) made of The aluminum material is rectangular in shape, measuring 20 millimeters in width, 20 millimeters in height, and 1224.55 millimeters in length. Millimeters serve to support the various components of the device. The center bottom area is provided with a scale (2) connection. It is attached and serves the function of displaying the gap between the railroad tracks. The resolution is 1 millimeter. Both ends of the frame (1) are fitted with a gauge (3) attached, which serves to measure the level of the railway tracks and the surrounding area. Both ends of the frame (1) are fitted with magnetic plate mounting rods (4) which hold the magnetic plate (5) in place. At the end, the magnetic plate (5) serves to hold the device so that it cannot move during measurement, where it has a special characteristic: it is Install a (3) measuring clock with a resolution of 0.01 millimeters to measure the level of the railway tracks and At both ends of the clock assembly (3) are fitted with magnetic plate mounting shafts (4) which serve to hold the plate in place. Magnet (5) prevents the rail gap and level measuring device in the thermite welding process from moving. During measurement, the special feature is that the area which is provided with the scale mark (2) is attached to the center of the frame (1) and has a length of 50. The scale is divided into left side (25 mm) and right side (25 mm). The distance between the scale markings is 1. Millimeters, used for comparing the distance between railway tracks.
