A High-Efficiency Multi-Track Railway Switching System Using Translating Screw Shaft Mechanism and Electromagnetic Controls
摘要
This research article introduces an innovative design of a multi-track railway switching system that improves efficiency, safety and precision of railway switching operations, particularly in high-traffic environments. It focuses on advancements in railway infrastructure and transportation technology, specifically in multi-track switching systems, where it utilizes a translating screw shaft mechanism and electromagnetic controls to simplify and accelerate track-switching process. The proposed system is explained with the example of a three-rail track system. It is highly adaptable and compatible with various track layouts, including single, multi-track, cross and three-way tracks, providing railway operators with enhanced operational flexibility. By integrating mechanical and electromagnetic components, this system enables precise and synchronized rail movements, leading to greater accuracy and safety in track switching. Additionally, the design increases system reliability and reduces the time required for track transitions.
