Description

本発明は、鉄道の軌道におけるレール締結装置に関し、特に鋼橋の橋桁に直接固定される鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a rail fastening device for a railway track, and more particularly to a rail fastening device for a steel bridge directly connected track that is directly fixed to a bridge girder of a steel bridge.

従来、鉄道の軌道におけるレール締結装置には、鋼橋の橋桁にレール締結装置が直接固定される鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置がある。鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置は、橋桁に形成した穴にボルトを挿通して締結装置のベース部材を固定し、該ベース部材の上に、レールの下部フランジ部を押える押さえ具もしくは板ばねを装着する構造を有している。かかる構造を有する鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置としては、例えば、特許文献1に開示されているものがある。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a rail fastening device in a railway track, there is a rail fastening device for a steel bridge directly connected track in which the rail fastening device is directly fixed to a bridge girder of a steel bridge. A rail fastening device for a steel bridge direct-coupled track, a bolt is inserted into a hole formed in a bridge girder to fix a base member of the fastening device, and a holding member or a leaf spring for pressing a lower flange portion of a rail is provided on the base member. It has a mounting structure. As a rail fastening device for a steel bridge directly connected track having such a structure, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.

鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置は、橋桁に直接固定される構成であるため、枕木に固定される通常のレール締結装置に比べて作業性が良いという利点がある。しかし、鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置は、橋桁に形成したボルト挿通穴の位置とベース部材に設けられているボルト挿通穴の位置とが合致しないと取付けが行なえないという課題がある。
そこで、特許文献1のレール締結装置においては、レール敷設方向と直交する方向に長いボルト挿通用の長穴をベースプレートに形成することで、橋桁との間でボルト挿通穴同士の位置ずれを吸収できるようにしている。
Since the rail fastening device for a steel bridge directly connected track is configured to be directly fixed to a bridge girder, there is an advantage that workability is better than a normal rail fastening device fixed to a sleeper. However, the rail fastening device for a steel bridge directly connected track has a problem that mounting cannot be performed unless the position of the bolt insertion hole formed in the bridge girder matches the position of the bolt insertion hole provided in the base member.
Therefore, in the rail fastening device of Patent Literature 1, a long hole for bolt insertion that is long in a direction orthogonal to the rail laying direction is formed in the base plate, so that a positional shift between the bolt insertion holes with the bridge girder can be absorbed. Like that.

特開平11−124803号公報JP-A-11-124803

鉄道の軌道においては通常数10メートルの長さのレールを順次継ぎ足すことで敷設され、前後のレール間は継ぎ目板と呼ばれる部材が結合されている。鋼橋上においては、設置当初においては、図5(A)に示すようにレール同士の継ぎ目Bがレール締結装置の中心線C−C上に来るように設定されるが、鉄道用レールにはふく進と呼ばれる現象があり、継ぎ目がレール締結装置の中心から次第にレールの長手方向へずれて、図5(B)に示すように継ぎ目板21をレールに固定するナット23とレール締結装置の押さえ具14とが干渉してしまうことがある。   Railroad tracks are usually laid by sequentially adding rails having a length of several tens of meters, and a member called a seam plate is connected between the front and rear rails. On the steel bridge, at the beginning of the installation, the joint B between the rails is set so as to be on the center line CC of the rail fastening device as shown in FIG. There is a phenomenon called advancing, and the seam gradually shifts from the center of the rail fastening device in the longitudinal direction of the rail, and as shown in FIG. 5 (B), a nut 23 for fixing the seam plate 21 to the rail and a holding tool of the rail fastening device. 14 may interfere with each other.

一方、レール締結装置には、左右のレール間の電気的な導通を防止するために絶縁部材が設けられており、この絶縁部材は数年ごとに交換する必要があり、その作業の際には固定用ボルトを外すことが必須である。しかし、レールのふく進で継目ボルトまたはナットとレール締結装置の押さえ具や固定用ボルトとが干渉している箇所では、絶縁部材を交換した後に固定用ボルトの再度取り付けることができないことがあるという課題があった。   On the other hand, the rail fastening device is provided with an insulating member to prevent electrical conduction between the left and right rails, and the insulating member needs to be replaced every few years. It is essential to remove the fixing bolt. However, in places where the joint bolt or nut interferes with the retainer or fixing bolt of the rail fastening device due to the rail advance, it may not be possible to re-attach the fixing bolt after replacing the insulating member. There were challenges.

なお、特許文献1のレール締結装置において採用されている、レール敷設方向と直交する方向に長いボルト挿通用の長穴を形成するという考え方を応用して、レール敷設方向と平行な方向に長い長穴を形成することで、レールのふく進によるボルト挿通穴同士の位置ずれを吸収することも考えられる。しかし、そのような単独の位置ずれ吸収構造では、レールのふく進により位置ずれを充分に吸収することができないことが分かった。
また、後述のレール締結装置のように、レールの下部フランジ部を押える押さえ具を、矩形状の板ばねで押圧する構造を有するものにおいては、板ばねが回転して継目ボルトの頭に接触してしまい、レールと枕木との間が電気的に導通状態になってしまうおそれがあるという課題があることが明らかになった。
In addition, by applying the concept of forming a long hole for bolt insertion that is long in a direction perpendicular to the rail laying direction, which is adopted in the rail fastening device of Patent Document 1, a long length in a direction parallel to the rail laying direction is applied. By forming the holes, it is conceivable to absorb the displacement between the bolt insertion holes due to the advance of the rail. However, it has been found that such a single positional deviation absorbing structure cannot sufficiently absorb the positional deviation due to the advance of the rail.
Further, in a device such as a rail fastening device described below, which has a structure in which a presser for pressing a lower flange portion of a rail is pressed by a rectangular plate spring, the plate spring rotates to contact the head of the joint bolt. It has been clarified that there is a problem that the rail and the sleeper may be electrically connected to each other.

本発明は上記のような課題に着目したなされたもので、その目的とするところは、レールのふく進による締結装置と鋼橋の橋桁のボルト挿通穴同士の位置ずれを充分に吸収することができる鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置を提供することにある。
本発明の他の目的は、押さえ具を押圧する板ばねが回転して継目ボルトの頭に接触してレールと枕木との間が電気的に導通状態になってしまうおそれのない鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置を提供することにある。
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to sufficiently absorb a displacement between a bolt insertion hole of a fastening device and a bridge girder of a steel bridge due to bulging of a rail. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rail fastening device for a steel bridge directly connected track.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a rail directly connected to a steel bridge in which a leaf spring for pressing a retainer rotates and comes into contact with a head of a seam bolt to electrically connect a rail and a sleeper. The present invention provides a rail fastening device.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a rail fastening device for a steel bridge direct connection track according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(1st Embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a rail fastening device 100 for a steel bridge direct-coupled track according to the first embodiment, where (A) is a plan view and (B) is a partial cross-sectional front view on a bridge girder 200 of the steel bridge. This shows a fixed state. FIGS. 2A and 2B show details of a holding tool as a rail holding member constituting the rail fastening device 100, wherein FIG. 2A is a plan view and FIG. 2B is a sectional front view.

本実施形態の鋼橋直結軌道用レール締結装置100は、図1(B)に示すように、レールRを挟んで一対の横圧受け金具11A,11Bが橋桁200上に載置され、それぞれ固定用ボルト12A,12Bと固定用ナット13A,13Bによって固定されている。符号を付していないが、レールRの下面と橋桁200上面との間には、軌道パッド、絶縁板、可変パッドが介挿されている。
一方、レールRの両側には継目板21A,21Bが接合され、これらを貫通するボルト22とナット23によって結合されている。上記固定用ボルト12A,12Bと固定用ナット13A,13Bは、図1(A)に示すように、レールの延設方向に沿ってそれぞれ2組設けられており、橋桁200上で回転しないように構成されている。
In the rail fastening device 100 for a steel bridge directly connected track of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1B, a pair of lateral pressure receiving brackets 11A and 11B are placed on a bridge girder 200 with a rail R interposed therebetween, and are fixed respectively. Bolts 12A and 12B and fixing nuts 13A and 13B. Although not denoted by a reference numeral, a track pad, an insulating plate, and a variable pad are interposed between the lower surface of the rail R and the upper surface of the bridge girder 200.
On the other hand, joint plates 21A and 21B are joined to both sides of the rail R, and are connected by bolts 22 and nuts 23 penetrating these. As shown in FIG. 1A, two sets of the fixing bolts 12A and 12B and the fixing nuts 13A and 13B are provided along the direction in which the rail extends, so that they do not rotate on the bridge girder 200. It is configured.

また、図1(B)に示すように、横圧受け金具11A,11Bの内側縁部には、上方へ向って突出するレールと平行な方向に長いショルダー部11a,11bがそれぞれ形成されている。そして、これらのショルダー部11a,11bを跨ぐようにして、一対の絶縁性を有する押さえ具14A,14Bが載置され、鉛直方向上向きの締結用ボルト15A,15Bと締結用ナット16A,16Bによってそれぞれ横圧受け金具11A,11Bに結合されている。
さらに、本実施形態では、継目板21A,21Bの下部が外側に膨らむように形成されるとともに、横圧受け金具11A,11Bは、断面がほぼコの字状をなし、下向きに設置されており、押さえ具14A,14BのレールRに近い側の端部の下面が継目板21A,21Bの下部の膨らんでいる部位を下方へ押圧することでレールを橋桁に締結するように構成されている。
Further, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), shoulder portions 11a and 11b which are long in a direction parallel to the rail protruding upward are formed on the inner edges of the lateral pressure receiving fittings 11A and 11B, respectively. . Then, a pair of insulating retainers 14A, 14B are placed so as to straddle these shoulder portions 11a, 11b, and are respectively attached by vertically upward fastening bolts 15A, 15B and fastening nuts 16A, 16B. It is connected to the lateral pressure receiving fittings 11A and 11B.
Further, in the present embodiment, the lower portions of the joint plates 21A and 21B are formed so as to bulge outward, and the horizontal pressure receiving brackets 11A and 11B have a substantially U-shaped cross section and are installed downward. The lower surfaces of the ends of the holding members 14A, 14B on the side close to the rail R are configured to press downwardly the swelling portions below the seam plates 21A, 21B to fasten the rails to the bridge girders.

上記横圧受け金具11Aの外側縁部には、2個の固定用ボルト12Aが挿通される2個の長穴12a,12bが、レールの延設方向に沿ってレールと平行に形成されている。横圧受け金具11Bも同様である。このように、固定用ボルト12A,12Bが挿通される穴を長穴とすることで、横圧受け金具11A,11Bを、長穴の長さ分だけ橋桁200に対してレール延設方向にずらして設置することができ、それによって押さえ具14A,14Bが継目板21A,21Bをレール腹部に固定するためのボルト22やナット23と干渉しないようにすることができる。   Two long holes 12a and 12b into which two fixing bolts 12A are inserted are formed in the outer edge of the lateral pressure receiving bracket 11A in parallel with the rail along the extending direction of the rail. . The same applies to the lateral pressure receiving fitting 11B. In this way, by making the holes through which the fixing bolts 12A, 12B are inserted into elongated holes, the lateral pressure receiving brackets 11A, 11B are shifted in the rail extending direction with respect to the bridge girder 200 by the length of the elongated holes. The holding members 14A, 14B can be prevented from interfering with the bolts 22 and the nuts 23 for fixing the joint plates 21A, 21B to the rail abdomen.

さらに、横圧受け金具11A,11Bのショルダー部11a,11bには、図2(A)に示すように、側方視で逆T字形の切欠き17a,17bがそれぞれ形成され、この切欠き17a,17bに、頭部を下にした締結用ボルト15A,15Bの頭部が係合され、上方へ突出する雄ネジ部が押さえ具14A,14Bを貫通し、上端部に締結用ナット16A,16Bが螺合されることで、上記押さえ具14A,14Bがショルダー部11a,11bと一体に結合される。そして、押さえ具14A,14Bの上面と締結用ナット16A,16Bとの間に、上面視矩形状をなし中央が上方へ湾曲した皿状の板バネ18A,18Bと2重スプリングワッシャ19A,19Bが介挿されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, inverted T-shaped notches 17a and 17b are formed in the shoulder portions 11a and 11b of the lateral pressure receiving fittings 11A and 11B, respectively. , 17b are engaged with the heads of the fastening bolts 15A, 15B with their heads down, and the male screws protruding upward penetrate the holding members 14A, 14B, and the fastening nuts 16A, 16B are provided at the upper end. Are screwed together, the holding members 14A and 14B are integrally connected to the shoulder portions 11a and 11b. Then, between the upper surfaces of the holding members 14A, 14B and the fastening nuts 16A, 16B, plate-like plate springs 18A, 18B having a rectangular shape in a top view and having a center curved upward and double spring washers 19A, 19B are provided. It is interposed.

さらに、上記押さえ具14A,14Bの上面には、図2に示すように、矩形状の板バネ18A,18Bの周囲を囲むようにリブ14a,14bがそれぞれ形成されており、板バネ18A,18Bはリブ14a,14bによってその内側に形成される凹部に係合するように配設されることで回転が阻止され、継目板21A,21Bを固定するボルト22の頭部やナット23に接触してレールと枕木との間が電気的に導通状態になってしまうのを防止できるようになっている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, ribs 14a and 14b are formed on the upper surfaces of the holding members 14A and 14B so as to surround the rectangular plate springs 18A and 18B, respectively. The ribs 14a and 14b are arranged so as to be engaged with the concave portions formed inside thereof by the ribs 14a and 14b, so that rotation is prevented, and the ribs come into contact with the heads of the bolts 22 and the nuts 23 fixing the joint plates 21A and 21B. It is possible to prevent electrical conduction between the rail and the sleeper.

また、図2(A)に示すように、押さえ具14A,14Bには、締結用ボルト15A,15Bが挿通される長穴41a,41bが、ほぼレールの延設方向であってレール側面に対して若干傾斜して形成されている。このように、締結用ボルト15A,15Bが挿通される穴を長穴とすることで、横圧受け金具11A,11Bの長穴12a,12bと相俟って、締結用ボルト15A,15Bを、継目板をレール側部に固定するためのナット23と干渉しない位置に取り付けることが容易となる。
つまり、押さえ具14A,14Bに設けられる締結用ボルト15A,15Bの挿通穴と横圧受け金具11A,11Bに設けられる固定用ボルト12A,12Bの挿通穴を、共に長穴とすることで、いずれか一方のみ長穴とする場合に比べて、レール延設方向への調整量が大きくなり、横圧受け金具11A,11Bと継目板をレール側部に固定するためのナット23との干渉を回避した取付けが可能となる。

It becomes easy to attach the joint plate to a position that does not interfere with the nut 23 for fixing the joint plate to the rail side portion.
That is, both the insertion holes of the fastening bolts 15A and 15B provided in the holding members 14A and 14B and the insertion holes of the fixing bolts 12A and 12B provided in the lateral pressure receiving brackets 11A and 11B are elongated holes. The amount of adjustment in the rail extension direction is larger than in the case where only one of the long holes is used, and interference between the lateral pressure receiving brackets 11A and 11B and the nut 23 for fixing the joint plate to the side of the rail is avoided. Mounting becomes possible.

また、長穴41a,41bがレール側面に対して若干傾斜して形成されていることによって、レールと継目板との間に寸法バラツキがあったとしても、継目板をレールに密接させた状態で固定することができる。
さらに、固定用ボルト12A,12Bに螺合された固定用ナット13A,13Bと横圧受け金具11A,11Bの上面との間には、図1に示すように、長穴12a,12bを覆うカバープレート20A,20Bが介挿されており、長穴12a,12b内に水が入らないように工夫されており、長穴12a,12b内に水が溜まってボルト12A,12Bがさび付き易くなるのを防止している。
Further, since the elongated holes 41a and 41b are formed slightly inclined with respect to the side surfaces of the rail, even if there is a dimensional variation between the rail and the seam plate, the seam plate is kept in close contact with the rail. Can be fixed.
Further, between the fixing nuts 13A, 13B screwed to the fixing bolts 12A, 12B and the upper surfaces of the lateral pressure receiving brackets 11A, 11B, as shown in FIG. 1, a cover for covering the elongated holes 12a, 12b. The plates 20A and 20B are interposed, and water is prevented from entering the long holes 12a and 12b. Water accumulates in the long holes 12a and 12b, and the bolts 12A and 12B are easily rusted.
