Description

The invention relates to a railway device and can be used in the construction and repair of railways.

Known rail track containing rails docked with a gap, the butt ends of which adjacent to one gap are made at different angles to the horizontal plane (RF patent for the invention No. 2435894, E01B 2/00, E01B 11/00, publ. 10.12.2011, Bulletin No. 34). The disadvantage of this rail track is that it is impossible to ensure straightness of the track simultaneously for vehicles of different weights.

The specified rail track is the closest analogue of the invention.

The invention was tasked with increasing railroad safety, reducing energy consumption for the destruction of rails and mobile units of railway transport, and reducing rail hijacking and impact loads on rails and noise adversely affecting humans and the environment.

The technical result of the invention is to increase railway safety, reduce energy consumption for the destruction of rails and mobile units of railway transport, reduce rail theft, shock loads on rails and noise adversely affecting humans and the environment, increase the service life of rail tracks and rolling stock .

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the rail track, including rails mounted on the sleepers joined with the gap, contains sleepers, which are made on piles in the gap region.

The drawing conventionally shows a section of a rail thread, side view.

The rail thread contains adjacent rails 1 and 2, docked with a gap of 3, sleepers 4 and 5, based, respectively, on piles 6 and 7.

The railway is operated as follows.

On the rail track, the movement of vehicles. When the wheel (not shown) passes through the gap 3, the ends of the rails 1 and 2, resting on the sleepers 4 and 5 installed, respectively, on piles 6 and 7, will not bend like consoles. “Jumping” of the wheel from one rail to another with subsequent impact on the butt end of the receiving rail with the appearance of an “influx” in the direction of the gap 3 will be excluded. When rolling the wheel through the gap 3 there will be no impact and the wheel will pass through it. This follows from the fact that when the distance between rails 1 and 2 is, for example, 30 mm, the wheel of a vehicle with a diameter of 900 mm will drop into the gap by only 0.25 mm.

The greatest shock loads when the vehicle passes the gap 3 are at the butt end of the receiving rail. Therefore, the size and depth of driving piles are selected based on the greatest load from the traction composition of the railway transport to the end of the receiving rail. It is also necessary to take into account the characteristics of the subgrade and the size of the gap 3 at the lowest ambient temperatures. The greater the weight of the traction composition of the railway transport or the size of the gap 3, the greater the depth of driving the piles at their identical cross section.

A method of operating a rail gauge, including the movement of vehicles on it, is that the movement of vehicles is carried out on the above rail track.

The proposed technical solutions are industrially applicable, have novelty, are not explicit for a specialist.
