Description

Line branch protection system to protect line divert by preventing snow branch and freezing

The present invention relates to a track branch protection system for protecting line switching by preventing snowfall and freezing in a predetermined protection range to protect the track branch. In more detail, by forming an air curtain (block) in a predetermined area of the line changer provided on the track branch to prevent snow or foreign matters from accumulating, the track for melting the accumulated snow or preventing freezing of the melted snow. A branch protection system.

1 is a view schematically showing the current line branching portion described above. Referring to FIG. 1, the track branch 90 includes a point portion 10 at which the straight line 50 and the branch line 60 join, a lead portion 20 at which the branch line 60 begins to branch, and a straight line. The crossing section 30 includes the crossing section 50 and the crossing section 60.

In order for the train (or vehicle 40) to enter the straight track, the straight track 50 and the branch track 60 are separated from the straight track 50 by the tip portion (also referred to as tungsten rail) of the branch track at the point portion 10. On the other hand, in order for the train 40 to proceed along the branch track 60, the straight track 50 and the tip (trail) of the branch track 60 must be in close contact with each other.

As shown in detail in FIG. 1, the line changer 70 is installed at the point portion 10 to determine the driving direction of the train 40 by bringing the tip of the branch line 60 into close contact with or separated from the straight line 50. do.

At this time, since the point portion 10 is the intersection point of the two tracks, the operation of the track changer should be perfect and structurally solid in order for the train or vehicle to move safely. In addition, if an error due to snow, ice or foreign matter is inserted into the track switcher 70, or if it does not work, it may cause a risk of derailment or overturning of the train, so if the function state of the track switcher 70 is not checked at any time, No.

As shown in detail in FIG. 1, since the track switcher 70 has a risk of a huge accident such as a train derailment, a collision, a collision, and the like, various devices such as a close detector, a flow preventer, and a snow melting apparatus are installed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, when snow accumulates between the straight line 50 and the tip (trail) of the branch track 60 or foreign matter is caught in the current track branch, the branch track 60 The tip of the) does not come into close contact with the straight track (50) to generate a stop signal for the train to run on a branch track, and wait until snow or foreign matter is removed. Therefore, the operation of the train is delayed until snow or foreign matter is removed, and economic losses such as compensation due to the delay of operation of the train occur.

In the track branch, as shown in FIG. 14 as a countermeasure for winter snow removal, a hole 53 is drilled in the

rails

50 and 60 so that the rail heater (or hot wire 55) can be replaced with the

bolt nuts

51 and 57. FIG. The rail heating method to fix is mainly used. This rail heating method has a difficulty in the operation of drilling a rail in the rail in order to attach the rail heater (or heating wire) 55 to the

rails

50 and 60, and is also attached to the rail heater 55 by bolt / nut coupling. ) Is only 3 to 4 years of service life due to vibrations, etc. generated during the driving of the train, and also shortens the life of the rail. In addition, since the rail heater 55 is attached to the

rails

50 and 60 to heat the rail to melt snow around the rail, only snow in the vicinity of the rail melts as shown in FIG. 15. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 15, if snow accumulates in the crankshaft 75 or between operations connected to the line changer 70, even if the snow of the line melts, the line changer 70 cannot be switched. Therefore, since the rail heater (or heating wire) 55 must be additionally installed between the operation or the crankshaft, the additional cost is increased. Therefore, the maintenance cost due to falling of the rail heater 55 is increased.

As the rail branch 55 does not have a snow removing method such as a rail heater 55, each time the snow falls, as shown in FIG. 16, since the work force directly removes snow accumulated in the branch and manually performs rusting, excessive manpower, Costs are incurred, and the risk of train delays and derailments remains constant.

(First embodiment)

Hereinafter, the line branch protection system 1000 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the concept of the track branch protection system 1000 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an operation state of the line branch protection system 1000 shown in FIG. 2. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a concept, and FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a protection range of a track branch that is to be protected by the track branch protection system 1000 according to the present invention.

The line branch protection system 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in detail in FIGS. 2 to 3 injects a strong (or heated) strong wind into a predetermined area in which the line diverter 70 is installed, thereby providing an air curtain. By forming 600 (also referred to as an air block), snow is stored in a predetermined area of the track branch 90, that is, the protection area including the point portion 10 and / or the crossing portion 30 during snowfall. This is to prevent the stacking preemptively to protect a predetermined wide protection range in which the track branch 90 is installed. In addition, the track branch protection system 1000 may spray strong (or heated) strong winds to provide a predetermined protection range area of the track branch 90, that is, the point portion 10 and / or the crossing portion 30. It is to protect the track branch 90 by melting and drying the snow accumulated within the protection range to include, as well as preventing snow melting and freezing. Here, protecting the track branch 90 refers to keeping the operation of the track switcher 70 installed in the track branch 90 smoothly even during snowfall or freezing in winter. In addition, it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that even in the summer, the operation of the line changer 70 may be maintained smoothly by preventing the elongation of the rail due to the temperature rise such as direct sunlight and radiant heat. Will be.

Here, the term " predetermined protection range area or protection range " means a line diverter for line branching to the point portion 10 and the crossing portion 30 on the line branch 90 as detailed in FIG. 70) and a protection range for allowing operation, crankshaft, etc. to be desired even during snowfall or cold conditions, as shown in Fig. 4, depending on the shape of the track branch 90, or a high speed section or a low speed. Depending on the interval, the protection range may vary.

For example, in the case of the general dog branch shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the point part 10 is moved so that the branch rail of 3 to 7 m is in close contact with or separated from the straight line by the operation of the line changer 70. Also, in the case of the crossing section 30, the operation between the crossing operations must be protected so as to be smooth.

In other words, as shown in Fig. 4, in the single-sided branching section, a predetermined protection range area of the point portion 10 of 4 x 3m and the crossing portion 30 of 4 x 6m are provided. You need to protect your snow from building up. Therefore, hereinafter, the predetermined protection range area will collectively refer to the protection range shown in FIG.

The track branch protection system 1000 includes an air conditioner 100 and a base member 200 on which the air conditioner 100 can be mounted. The air conditioner and the base member are illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 3. As described above, a plurality of lines are installed along the track branch, so that the line converter 70, the rail of the branch rail, and the crankshaft, etc., installed in the protection range as shown in FIG. 4 can operate smoothly.

2 and 3, three air conditioning apparatuses 100 and a base member 200 are disposed in the point portion 10 along one side of the track branch 90, and in the crossing portion 30. Two air conditioning apparatuses 100 and the base member 200 are arrange | positioned. However, in the present invention, three and two air conditioning apparatuses 100 and a base member 200 are arbitrarily arranged as an example for easily explaining the invention. Therefore, the number and arrangement of the air conditioning apparatus 100 and the base member 100 are not limited to the above-described embodiment. In other words, the same number of track branch protection systems 1000 may be installed on both sides of the track in FIGS. 2 and 3, and when it is necessary to protect the track diverter 70 separately, the line diverter 70 In addition, separate air conditioning apparatus 100 and base member 200 may be installed and protected.

In other words, since the protection range is different depending on the shape of the branch line or whether the line is a high speed line as shown in FIG. 4, the number of the air conditioning apparatus 100 and the base member 200 depends on the protection range. It should be understood that can be increased or decreased.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the configuration of the air conditioner 100 and the base member 200 in units of about 1 m to 1.5 m constituting the track branch protection system 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention. It explains in detail. The air conditioning apparatus 100 and the base member 200 having a unit of about 1 m to 1.5 m are made in consideration of the protection range shown in FIG. 4 and may also be manufactured in units of 1.5 m or more in length. The unit length of the member 200 is not limited.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating the air conditioner 100 and the base member 200 of about 1 m to 1.5 m units constituting the track branch protection system 1000 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and FIG. It is an exploded perspective view of the air conditioning apparatus 100 and the base member 200 shown in FIG.

First, the base member 200 is a frame structure capable of mounting or accommodating the air conditioning apparatus 200 thereon as shown in detail in FIGS. 5 and 6. As the base member 200 is installed in the cross section shown in Figs. 7 and 8, since the leg portion of the base member 200 is embedded in the inclined path of the track roadbed, a separate frame structure is provided for convenience of installation. Although formed as, the base member 200 is fixed to the air conditioning apparatus 100, the height may be configured to be adjusted. In this case, the lower end of the air conditioning apparatus 100 can be formed integrally or detachably. Accordingly, it should be understood that variations of the degree of forming the base member 200 integrally with the air conditioning apparatus 100 as described above are included within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the air conditioner 100 includes a mesh net member 110, a fan assembly member 120, a heater member 130, a louver assembly member 140, a cover member 150, and a frame structure 160. , A bottom member 170, and a switch box member 300.

First, the frame member 160 has a rectangular parallelepiped frame structure. The bottom surface of the frame member 160 is preferably closed by fixing the bottom member 170 made of a plate to the bottom. A mesh net member 110 made of a mesh net is inserted into and fixed to a rear surface of the frame member 160 having a bottom surface blocked to allow wind to flow therein. Therefore, foreign matters such as fallen leaves are not introduced into the air conditioning apparatus 200 when the wind is introduced from the outside by the mesh network member 110.

The fan assembly member 120 fixes the plurality of fan members 123 to the fan fixing plate 121 of the plate member, as shown in detail in FIG. 7. Here, the fan member 123 is preferably a DC fan member having a wind speed of 10 to 15 m / sec. In addition, the DC fan member 123 preferably generates a strong wind having a rotational speed (RPM) of 4,000 to 5,000 rpm and a volume of about 180 to 250 CFM. In FIG. 7, nine fan members 123 are arranged in two rows. However, the number and heat of the fan members 123 are not limited thereto because they may vary depending on the length of the unit air conditioner 200.

Strong wind generated in the fan assembly member 120 may be heated by the heater member 130. In FIG. 6, the heater member 130 is illustrated as arranging pipe heaters, but may be replaced with a plate heater, a coil heater, or the like. However, the heater member 130 preferably heats the wind generated by the fan member 123 to a temperature of 1 to 3 ° C., but may be heated to a higher temperature depending on the surrounding temperature. Because the snow accumulated around the track of the track branch portion 90 melts at a temperature of 0 ° C. or higher, so if the temperature reaching the track portion is 1 ° C. or higher, snow or ice accumulated within the protection range melts and occurs in the fan member 123. It is to dry by wind to say.

The heater member 130 may selectively control on / off. This is because, even if it snows, when the dry weather or the air temperature is 0 ° C or more, the snow does not accumulate, and because it melts, it is easily blown by the cold strong wind generated from the fan member 123. Therefore, it is preferable to selectively operate the heater member 130 only when wet or snow is expected.

The louver assembly member 140 is disposed in front of the heater member 120. The louver assembly member 140 serves as a guide for guiding the strong wind generated from the fan assembly member 120 in the rail direction of the track.

The mesh network member 110, the fan assembly member 120, the heater member 130, and the louver assembly member 140 described above may be inserted into and fixed to the frame member 160 with the bottom blocked. In addition, the mesh net member 110, the fan assembly member 120, the heater member 130, and the louver assembly member 140 are inserted into and fixed to the frame member 160, and then covered with the cover member 150 from the outside. Do not allow foreign objects to enter. In FIG. 6, the cover member 160 is illustrated in an L-shape, but the cover member 160 is open for maintenance of the above-described member, and the like, as long as the cover member 160 may be wrapped around the frame member 160.

One side of the frame member 160 is attached with a switch box member 300 including an SMPS and a switch for supplying DC power to the fan member 120, a switch for supplying AC power to the heater member 130, and the like. Can be installed. The switch box member 300 may be integrally formed with the cover member 150. In addition, one switch box member 300 may be installed in the line branch protection system 1000 in the switch box member 300, or may be installed in each air conditioner 200.

The air conditioning apparatus 100 configured as described above may be disposed on the base member 200 so as not to be separated. The air conditioner 100 described above in units of 1.2 m to 1.5 m shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 may be compactly configured to have a height of approximately 260 mm X length 1,200 mm X width 300 mm.

Hereinafter, the arrangement and operation of the track branch protection system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an arrangement state of the track branch protection system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an operation of the line branch protection system 1000.

Referring to FIG. 8, the track branch protection system 1000 may be installed at a distance of 30 to 50 cm from the end or the end of the sleeper 3 on the roadbed slope. In addition, the upper end of the air conditioning apparatus 100 should be installed so as not to interfere with the train 40.

That is, the top height of the air conditioning apparatus 100 is about 10 cm in the height of the rail, the train wheel 41 is about 84 cm, the height of the sleeper is about 15 cm, it is preferable to be installed at a height of 60 ~ 90 cm from the rail. .

In FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the base member 100 and the air conditioning apparatus 200 are shown to be installed vertically from the ground. However, in consideration of the flow of wind generated from the air conditioning apparatus 200, the track is about 15 °. It may be desirable to incline in the direction.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 9, operation | movement of the line branch protection system 1000 is demonstrated.

First, the fan assembly member 120 may generate a strong wind of 15 m / sec per second by introducing wind from the outside by the rotation of the fan member 123. The generated strong wind is heated to a temperature of about 3 to 10 ° C. by the heater member 130 to blow the wind heated toward the track rail by the louver assembly member 140. Here, the heater member 130 may be selectively operated as described above.

The strong wind generated from the air conditioning apparatus 100 blows toward the pair of rails 50. At this time, the louver assembly member 140 serves to guide the direction of the wind toward the pair of rails. That is, the louver located at the lower side of the louver assembly member 140 is directed toward the near track 50, and the louver located at the upper side is blown toward the rail toward the farther side by the louver, thereby falling down on the track. (1) can be blown out of the track so that snow does not accumulate in a predetermined protection range region as shown in FIG.

2, 3, and 9, the track branch protection system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention may form an air curtain (block) in a protection range region as shown in FIG. 4. . Therefore, snow falling within the protection range as shown in FIG. 4 will fly out of the protection range and accumulate. It can be seen that snow accumulated within the protection zone can be blown out of the protection zone by the wind. In addition, the snow accumulated without flying can be melted by hot air caused by the operation of the heater member 130.
