Definitions

  • the present invention applies to railway fastening systems. More specifically, the invention relates to a fastening assembly for railway rails, preferably for sidings in high-speed lines.
  • Railway siding generally has a structure in which a metal plate is fastened to a cross member. It is necessary to incorporate fastening elements for the rails on the metal plate. Fastenings that fasten only one rail and fastenings that fasten two rails can be distinguished in a siding fastening, in this case the relative position of each of the rails is different in each fastening.
  • the fastening elements in a siding are generally formed by flat steel base plates that are 30 mm thick.
  • Said base plates are provided with openings and steel supports provided in the lower portion thereof with respective lugs that are inserted into the respective openings, for subsequently welding the plates and the steel supports to one another.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these technical problems and to provide a simpler and easier-to-produce fastening assembly for railway rails, as well as a method for obtaining same, that furthermore facilitates installation during the assembly of the retaining elements and the rails.
  • the invention at hand aims to obtain a fastening that is as universal as possible by means of an effective and efficient production process, without the need of machining a large amount of holes on the steel plates and welding the supports, with savings in time and material invested in the manufacture of the plurality of parts, i.e., allowing the automation of the production thereof with the subsequent cost reduction that it entails.
  • the fastening assembly for railway rails comprises a base plate which allows fastening and retaining at least one railway rail.
  • each base plate in a siding retains two rails that are located on either side during point switching, changing the distance of said rails from a cross member to the adjacent one.
  • an independent base plate tends to be arranged for each rail instead of a very long double base plate common to both.
  • the base plate of the invention comprises an imaginary central axis which, in a position of installation of the fastening assembly, is located perpendicular to at least one rail, given that the other tends to be slightly curved, i.e., the base plate of the fastening assembly is located with the central axis parallel to the cross member on which it is located.
  • the base plate comprises at least two end openings located on the central axis suitable for allowing the insertion of respective anchor bolts of the base plate usually in a cross member.
  • the base plate is a metal plate and has a uniform thickness such that it can be cut by laser cutting means and shaped in a conventional pressing equipment, conventional equipment being understood as equipment commonly used for cutting and shaping metal sheet without needing additional or special resources required for carrying out special cutting and shaping work, for example, in the case of thicknesses greater than 25 mm.
  • the end openings can be obtained by said laser cutting means.
  • the base plate of the invention comprises a raised central section, which can be obtained by means of shaping in the pressing equipment, that is aligned with the central axis and flanked by respective side flanges.
  • the thickness of the plate is therefore reduced with respect to the plates of the state of the art, such that by curving the central portion of the base plate of the invention by means of shaping, the moment of inertia thereof increases, such that the plate responds much more satisfactorily to the tests than if the plate was completely flat, which allows achieving mechanical characteristics equivalent to those of the plate of the state of the art having greater thickness of the order of 30 mm.
  • the thickness of the base plate of the invention is much less allows, unlike the plates of the state of the art, automatically cutting said plates, for making a plurality of openings at different positions, for example, in a laser cutting equipment, which could not be performed while maintaining reasonable production costs in the case that the thickness of the plate was 30 mm or higher.
  • the base plate comprising, for each rail to be fastened and retained, two inner openings located on the central axis, such that each pair of inner openings are suitable for allowing the insertion of retaining screws for retaining on both sides a runner of a rail.
  • the base plate according to the fastening assembly of the invention can be cut in a laser equipment, as in the case of the end openings with the advantages that it entails, which furthermore includes the fact that the relative distance between said openings is different in each base plate according to the position thereof in the siding, so automating the implementation by means of a laser cutting equipment allows significantly reducing the manufacture time.
  • the base plate comprises, for each rail to be fastened, at least one outer opening located in a side flange, said outer opening being suitable for receiving a projection of an independent element, such as a support element or a seat that can be located between the rail and the base plate, which allows facilitating the placement thereof.
  • said outer openings are usually associated with each rail, such that the outer openings have the same advantages mentioned for the inner openings.
  • the invention relates to a fastening assembly for railway rails comprising a support plate, which is an element that may be complementary to and suitable for collaborating with the base plate described above, being located between the rail and said base plate.
  • Said support plate allows fastening and retaining a railway rail, for which it has an upper face comprising a flat area suitable for supporting a runner of a rail.
  • the support plate of the fastening assembly of the invention comprises two openings suitable for allowing the insertion of retaining screws for retaining on both sides the runner of the rail, such that according to the invention the support plate has a lower face comprising a recess suitable for receiving a projection of an independent element, which is preferably the raised central section of the base plate, such that immobilizing the support plate and facilitating the placement thereof in its service position is thus achieved.
  • the support plate comprises at least one lower projection located on the lower face thereof, where said lower projection is suitable for being housed in an opening of an independent element, such as one of the outer openings of the base plate. A better fastening and a quicker placement of the support plate is thus achieved.
  • the fastening assembly for railway rails comprises a base plate and a support plate such as those described above, where the recess of the support plate sits on the raised central section of the base plate.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to a method for obtaining a fastening assembly for railway rails such as that described above, comprising the following steps or phases:
  • the fastening assembly of the present invention comprises a steel plate which acts as a support for the rest of the elements of the assembly and is suitable for withstanding the transverse forces, as well as the uncompensated acceleration due to the actual geometry of the siding to which the fastenings are subjected when a train goes by.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show the different elements of the fastening assembly for fastening two rails (7) located on one side of the railway track in a siding.
  • the fastening assembly comprises a double base plate (1'), even though Figure 4 shows a individual base plate (1) which is useful in those areas of the siding in which the separation between the two rails (7) of one and the same side is such that it allows arranging an individual base plate (1) for each rail (7) instead of a double base plate (1') for both rails (7).
  • the fastening assembly comprises a support plate (6), a seat plate in direct contact with the rail (7) and optionally a pad (20) on a second bottom plastic sheet (22) in the form of a protective plate, also optional, which allows maintaining the entire assembly at the same height if necessary and housing the pad (20), located on the cross member (not depicted).
  • the function of the pad (20) is to ensure that the fastening assembly has the necessary medium rigidity.
  • the fastening assembly is completed with retraining clips (5) for retaining the rail (7) which are covered by the support plate (6) having track inclination, retaining screws (4) for retaining the clips (5) on the base plate (1, 1') and anchor bolts (12) acting as eccentricity control means which are inserted once the assembly is mounted on the cross members.
  • the base plate (1, 1') is the essential element of the assembly and is formed by an elongated, preferably a rectangular, central body. It can be an individual base plate (1) ( Figure 4 ) or a double base plate (1') ( Figures 1-3 ), the function of which is to retain the assembly of the seat plate, the support plate and to laterally retain the runner of the track.
  • the body of the individual base plate (1) has two end openings (11) for the insertion of the anchor bolts (12), two inner openings (2) for the insertion of the retaining screws (4) for retaining the clips (5) and four outer openings (8) the purpose of which is described below.
  • the double base plate (1') has two end openings (11) on the body thereof for anchoring such as in the preceding case, but it has the particularity of being more elongated and suitable for the fastening of two rails (7) instead of only one. It is therefore provided with four inner openings (2) for the screws (4) of the clips (5) and eight outer openings (8), four for each rail (7).
  • the base plate (1, 1') comprises an imaginary central axis which, in a position of installation of the fastening assembly, is located perpendicular to the rails (7).
  • the base plate (1, 1') is a metal plate and has a uniform thickness in a range of 15-20 mm, such that it can be cut by laser cutting means and shaped in a conventional pressing equipment.
  • the end openings (11), outer openings (8) and inner openings (2) can be obtained by said laser cutting means.
  • the base plate (1, 1') comprises a raised central section (3) obtained by means of shaping in the pressing equipment that is aligned with the central axis and flanked by respective straight side flanges (9).
  • the base plate (1, 1') comprises, for each rail (7) to be fastened, two outer openings (8) located in each side flange (9), said outer openings (8) being suitable for receiving a lower projection (10) of the support plate (6), which allows facilitating the placement thereof.
  • the support plate (6) incorporates, on the lower face thereof close to its end sections, for withstanding the forces in better state, four lower lugs or projections (10) arranged in two on the larger sides (15), for inserting them in the mentioned four outer openings (8) made on the side flanges (9) of the base plate (1, 1').
  • the central section of said support plate (6) has a recess (16) suitable for sitting on the raised central section (3) of the base plate (1, 1').
  • the raised central section (3) comprises a straight section (14) the width of which is at least the width of each side flange (9), comprising curved transitions (13) between said raised central section (3) and said side flanges (9). This feature allows that the larger the surface area of the straight section (14) is, the more inertia is obtained and that the base plate (1, 1') bends less during operation.
  • the fastening assembly comprises a plastic bottom plate (17) located below the base plate (1, 1'), said bottom plate (17) comprising a raised central section (18) suitable for being tightly fitted under the raised central section (3), and two side flanges (19) suitable for being located below the side flanges (9) of the base plate (1, 1'), in order to achieve a force distribution that is as homogeneous as possible.
  • the raised central section (18) of the bottom plate (17) comprises a plurality of ribs (21).
  • the raised central section (18) of the bottom plate (17) is preferably not solid, but is rather formed by ribs (21), to prevent 'voids' during manufacture.
  • the fastening assembly for railway rails (7) comprises a base plate (1, 1') and a support plate (6) such as those described above, where the recess (16) of the support plate (6) sits on the raised central section (3) of the base plate (1, 1'), such that the lower projections (10) of the support plate (6) are housed in the outer openings (8) of the base plate (1, 1').
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to a method for obtaining a fastening assembly for railway rails such as that described above, comprising the following steps or phases:
  • the method of the invention comprises:
  • programming data which defines the positioning of the corresponding openings on the base plate are entered in a laser or water cutting equipment, comprising a laser cutting robot automatically cutting the required parts, these at least two inner openings (2) in the raised central section (3) and at least four outer openings (8) in the side flanges (9) being arranged in two with respect to each side flange (9) of the base plate (1, 1') identifying the exact position for the installation of the support plate (6) sitting on the base plate (1, 1').
  • the process of manufacturing the base plate according to the invention is simple and quicker than the previous processes.
  • By means of the laser cutting operation, as well as press stamping it is possible to eliminate the machining and welding operations necessary for the installation of the fastening systems known until now, which operations are very time consuming and require the use of expensive equipment.
