Analysis of the main diseases and causes in the operation of the rail switch
Feb 19, 2025| Typical diseases of tip rail
Seamless turnout tip rail often appear disease: tip rail warping, tip rail crawling, sliding bed plate broken, limiters top dead, tip rail and basic rail is not close to the tip rail injury, reduce the value of insufficient, etc., to the normal use of the turnout brought about by the adverse effects.
pointy rail upturned

Disease Information for.
Tip rail head rail bottom and sliding bed plate have excessive clearance, tip rail anti-jump prongs have abrasion marks, tip rail in the closed state of the tip rail anti-jump prongs and the basic rail under the jaws of no clearance, as shown in Figure 2.
Causes.
① rutting part of the high and low bad, empty hanging; ② under the rail rubber pads run away.
② rail under the rubber pad out or uneven thickness, pressure collapse, broken; ③ slide bed plate under the large rubber pad.
③ slide bed plate under the big rubber pad uneven thickness caused by the top surface of the tip rail is not smooth; ④ tip rail in the middle and back.
④ tip rail in the back of the sliding bed plate uneven force, individual sliding bed plate is high; ⑤ improper storage or transport of the tip rail, or the transport of the tip rail, or the transport of the tip rail.
⑤ The tip rail is not stored properly or the tip rail is deformed due to the reasons of transporting and loading and unloading. This kind of problem occurs more in 1/9 turnouts, and 1/12 turnouts (main line turnouts) which have not been cleared for many years will also have this kind of disease.
Disease Consequences.
In severe cases, it can cause the turnout to jam.
Remediation method:
① pointed rail head several turnout pillow full section pounding, pointed rail heel synchronous pounding; ② replacement of supplementary failure, lack of turnout pillow.
② replacement of supplementary failure, lack of rubber cushion, adjust the hard sliding bed plate; ③ replacement of deformed point rail; ③ replacement of deformed point rail
③Replace the deformation of the tip rail; ④The turnout screening.
③Replace the deformation of the tip rail; ④To carry out turnout screening.
