Structure analysis and optimization of rail-breaking emergency device for heavy-haul railway
When the heavy-haul railway suffers the rail fracture accidents,the emergency device can be used to clamp the broken rail to ensure the railway's safe transportation in a short time.In order to make the rescue more convenient,this emergen-cy device should be optimized based on the original design.In this article,with the focus on the Daqin Line heavy-haul railway's rail,the finite-element model is set up with the help of the ABAQUS software to explore the influencing factors of the emergency device's safety and determine the most unfavorable working conditions;then,the scheme is optimized and verified.The results show that the stress of the emergency splint and the bolt decreases linearly in the cubic polynomial form,with the load point mov-ing away from the position where rail breaking occurs.Both the stress and the displacement of the emergency splint and the bolt change with the temperature,which are greater at-40 ℃ of low temperature than those at 50 ℃ of high temperature.By chan-ging the bolt's size and the splint's materials,while meeting the strength requirements,both the optimal combination and the range of the ambient temperature for safe operation are determined.
