How To Do Seamless Line Release Operations

What are the operating procedures?

 

1. Preparation: ① confirm the work lot and workload; ② prepare the work, machinery and tools to confirm that they are in good condition; ③ according to the rail length, on-site rail temperature, the actual rail temperature design lock rail temperature to calculate the amount of release.

2. registration blockade: ① station liaison in accordance with the requirements of registration; ② operation responsible for confirming the order is correct, notify the site guards set stop signal protection.

3. Dismantle the joint or saw the rail: ① common seamless line dismantle the rail joint at the link of the long rail bar and buffer; ② full inter-district or inter-district seamless line in the design of the release dragon mouth, saw the rail.

4. Loosen fasteners, pad roller: ① fasteners must all be loosened; ② roller pad in the opposite direction of the rail expansion rail side.

5. Release zero stress: hit the rail, rail repeatedly stretching 3-5mm, length no longer change, measuring rail temperature, that is, zero stress rail temperature.

6. Adjust the design lock rail temperature: ① install tensioner, according to the zero stress rail temperature design lock rail temperature dispersion, and notify each section observation point to do mark; ② start tensioner and with hit rail, to reach the design dispersion; ③ saw rail, drill rail, connect rail joints, when there are conditions should be welded compound.

7. Lock the line: ① correct the deflection of the rubber mat; ② adjust the gauge; ③ tighten the fasteners, torque up to standard.

8. Operation back check: operation in charge of the day's work place gauge, level, torque, welding seam for a comprehensive check, found unqualified timely rework, statistics to complete the workload and record back check quality data.

9. Opening the line: ① the person in charge of the operation checks and confirms that the line has reached the opening conditions; ② the person in charge of the operation confirms that there are no personnel, machinery or materials encroaching on the limit; ③ the stopping protection signal is removed and the train is released according to the restriction conditions; ④ the station staff confirms whether the track circuit is good; ⑤ the station liaison registers the application for opening the line according to the regulations.

 

 

What are the criteria for job quality acceptance?

 

1. Line gauge size tolerance range between ± 1mm, sleeper edge from the rail weld distance in line with the "general speed railway line repair rules" Article 3.10.10 provisions.

2. Bolts, bolts buckle, spring washers complete without failure, no model specifications do not match.

3. Standard torque of joint bolts for ordinary lines: torque of 700N-m for 60kg/m and above rails, torque of 600N-m for 50kg/m and 43kg/m rails, other types of joint bolts in accordance with the "Rules for repair of general railway lines" Table 3.7.9.

4. Seamless line buffer zone joints must use not less than 10.9 grade bolts, bolt torque should be maintained at 700-1100N-m.

5. After tightening the bolt, the rail surface and the inner side of the wrong teeth, positive line, to the hair line shall not exceed 1mm, other lines shall not exceed 2mm.

 

What are the requirements for operational safety?

 

1. Strictly implement the requirements of safety documents such as "Safety Rules for General Railway Work" and "Safety Protection Regulations for Work on Line Operations" and "Safety Management Regulations for Key Work on Line Operations" of the Group Company, implement effective protection measures and strictly enforce the system of protection and avoidance for work on line.

2. Once the interruption of protection contact occurs, the site protection officer should immediately notify the person in charge of the operation to organize personnel and material to pull rope protection down the road to avoid traffic. After contacting with the station liaison officer to confirm that there is no car, before organizing the work on the road, it is strictly prohibited to continue to work without protection.

3. When crossing the line, the site protector should contact the station liaison, and in accordance with the "hand than, eye, mouth call" system requirements, to confirm that there is no incoming traffic, the command operator quickly through, across multiple channels, the implementation of each channel to confirm the system.

4. In the electrification section operation, must keep the electrification and signal device grounding wire and rail end connection wire normal connection.

5.When cutting rails with rail saws, other personnel should stay away from the sides and front of the rail saws to prevent the saw blades from breaking and injuring people. Operators must wear safety helmets.

6. Wrenches, long-handled tools to have insulated sets, the operation to prevent the rail UMC.

7. When using the crowbar, do not shoulder or ride the pressure to prevent slipping off and injuring people.

8. Night work should be equipped with lighting equipment and reflective strips should be affixed to work tools.
