A core-inlaid high manganese steel frog structure includes a high manganese steel frog body 1 and an inlaid core 2. The high manganese steel frog body 1 is molded in one unit, and includes a swing track connecting section, a frog central section 3 and a frog-and-track connecting section 10. The wing track connecting section and the frog-and-track connecting section 10 are respectively arranged on front and rear ends of the frog central section 3. A mounting groove 5 for cooperatively mounting the inlaid core 2 is arranged in front of the frog central section 3. The high manganese steel frog body 1 and the inlaid core 2 are detachably connected.
The inlaid core 2 includes an upper connecting section 2-3 which has a triangle top view, a lower connecting section 2-2 which is connected with the mounting groove 5. An arc transition 2-1 is arranged between a tip of the upper connecting section 2-3 and an upper end surface of the lower connecting section 2-2. A rear end surface of the upper connecting section 2-3 is connected with a front end surface of the frog central section 3. An upper end surface of the inlaid core 2 and an upper end surface of the frog central section 3 are in the same plane. A left side surface and a right side surface of the lower connecting section 2-2 are inclined from top to bottom and from outside to inside, thus forming a first contact slope 2-6. A first angle 2-7 of the first contact slope 2-6 with respect to vertical direction is 2° to 4°. Through the design, the lower connecting section 2-2 is easy to be mounted into the mounting groove 5, which is convenient for replacing a damaged inlaid core 2. Rear end surfaces of the inlaid core 2 includes a rear end surface of the upper connecting section 2-3 and a rear end surface of the lower connecting section 2-2. In the present embodiment, the rear end surface of the upper connecting section 2-3 is disposed coincidentally with the rear end surface of the lower connecting section 2-2. The rear end surface of the inlaid core 2 is inclined from top to bottom and from inside to outside, foil ling a second contact inclined surface 2-4. A second angle 2-8 of the second contact slope 2-4 with respect to vertical direction is 2° to 4°. In the present application, the second angel 2-8 is set to be 3°, whereas the first angle 2-7 is also set to be 3°. Through this design, the upper connecting section is tightly fitted with a front end surface of the frog central section 3, which ensures smoothness and stability of the transition between the inlaid core 2 and the frog central section 3. The lower connecting section 2-2 is tightly fitted with the mounting groove 5, which keeps the inlaid core 2 from moving upwards and downwards while the car is passing over.
A width of a read end of the upper end surface of the upper connecting section 2-3 is set to be 60 mm to 110 mm. The arc transitions 2-1 are respectively arranged between left and right sides of the upper connecting section 2-3 and the upper end surface of the upper connecting section 2-3, and between left and right sides of the upper connecting section 2-3 and the upper end surface of the lower connecting section 2-2.
