Further, in the invention, the side guide rail device further comprises a third side guide rail 22, wherein the third side guide rail 22 is in a V shape and is fixedly connected with the first second branch rail 19 and the second first branch rail 20 respectively, and the opening end faces to the separated end of the rail, so that when the rail car changes the track, the side guide rail device can provide guide for the side guide wheel 8 in the opposite direction of the changed track. Preferably, in the present invention, the third side guide rail 22 is a circular arc transition section 23 at the bending position, so that stress concentration can be avoided, and the service life of the third side guide rail 22 can be prolonged. The first transition section 24 and the second transition section 25 are connected respectively to the both ends of circular arc type changeover portion 23, are equipped with the contained angle between first transition section 24 and the first branch rail two 20, are equipped with the contained angle between second changeover portion 25 and the second branch rail 19, can provide the buffering when the railcar changes the road, take place the card pause when preventing that side guide 8 from getting into.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The embodiments disclosed above are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. All changes which come within the scope of or equivalence to the invention are intended to be embraced therein.
