rail selection

Rail is the main component of track laying and plays an important role in guiding wheels, supporting vehicles, and transferring loads. With the rapid development of railway transportation and heavy-duty railways, more and more attention is paid to the use and maintenance of rails. For the laying of rails, safety and reliability must be met, the service life of rails should be reasonably extended, the optimization of rail usage should be realized, and the construction of rails should be reduced. maintenance costs.

The rational optimization of rail tracks focuses on the following points:

1. The track is laid with a seamless line, which minimizes the fishplate connection of the joints of the rails and reduces the damage to the rails caused by the reaction force caused by the unevenness of the joints of the rails when the train passes.

2. Improve the purity of the rail material, reduce the rail under the repeated action of the train load, cause the rail to produce transverse fatigue cracks and other fatigue damage, and prolong the fatigue life of the rail.

3. According to the track laying environment, according to the requirements of the line, adjust measures to local conditions, make a scientific layout, and reasonably select the steel rail of corresponding material and strength. For small radius curved rails and rails for turnouts, online heat-treated rails should be used.

4. For the mainline railway, the new rail head profile 60N and 75N long fixed-length rails should be preferentially used to improve the contact surface between the wheelset and the rail and reduce the splint connection joints of the rail.

5. Through the optimized design of the profile of the rail head, the rail is properly ground, the profile of the rail is maintained, combined with rail maintenance measures, the number of rail lubrication is increased, and the friction coefficient of the rail top is reasonably controlled, and the wheel-rail creep force is reduced. The force and rolling resistance of the wheel and rail can effectively prevent and timely eliminate the disease of the rail, improve the relationship between the wheelset and the rail, and prolong the service life of the rail.

Principle of rail clamp design

Principle of rail clamp design rail clamp design The rail clamp design has several functional features: 1. Adjustability: The adjustable length is 15mm, and its adjustability functions include: (1) The rail presser is easy to install, saves time, and has high precision (2) The track can be adjusted if the structure of the support beam is slightly changed. 2. Anti-loosening: Under the action of the lateral force of the track, through the force analysis of the welding RTYB, a part of these lateral forces are transmitted to the bottom seat through the upper cover plate as the pressure of the bottom edge to seat on the upper cover plate. The other part is the lateral friction between the base and the upper cover. Since the wedge-shaped action between the base and the upper cover plate is converted into the tightening force of the bolts, it has an anti-loosening effect. 3. Self-locking: The three pieces are self-locking together through the interaction of the upper cover, the base, and the

What is rail creep

What is rail creep rail creep Rail creep is also known as line crawl. The creeping phenomenon of the rail along the longitudinal direction of the line. With the increase in railway transportation tasks, the impact of the wheels on the rails when the train is running accelerates the creep of the rails. Rail creep can cause many diseases of the line. In order to prevent the occurrence of track creep diseases, it is necessary to find out the real cause of creeping in order to effectively eliminate the problem. There are two different manifestations: the rails move along the soft sleeper surface due to insufficient fastening pressure of the fasteners; the longitudinal movement of the row is caused by insufficient ballast bed resistance. The reason for this is the longitudinal force of the rail caused by the wheel rolling and longitudinal slip, train braking, the change of rail temperature, and the creep caused by the deflection and deformation of the rail under the action of the wheel load
