Track switches are an important part of a railway line, and it is used to change the direction of a train or travel on a different track. There are several aspects to consider when customizing track turnouts:
1.Turnout type: Select the appropriate turnout type according to the use needs of the line and the terrain conditions, such as switch machine, cross crossing, cross turnout, etc.
2.Dimensional design: Determine the size of the turnout according to factors such as line width, track gauge and topography, and carry out detailed design calculations to ensure that the turnout structure is stable and can meet the requirements of train operation.
3.Material selection: Track turnouts are usually made of cast iron or steel, and it is necessary to consider factors such as the durability, corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of the material to select the appropriate material.
4.Installation location: Determine the installation location of the turnout according to the specific situation of the line, ensure its compatibility with the surrounding environment, and avoid interference with other equipment.
The customization of track turnouts requires a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, and detailed design and calculation are carried out in combination with the specific situation to ensure their quality and safety. At the same time, it is also necessary to strictly follow the design drawings and related standards in the construction process to ensure the correct installation and use of the turnout.
