RAIL TRACK MOBILE TESTING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: railway transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for diagnosing condition of rails using combined ultrasonic and magnetic nondestructive testing devices of higher resolving power. Proposed rail track mobile testing device includes vehicle on frame of which flaw detector bogie is mounted with system for pneumatic and manual lifting of bogie I to traveling position. Tracking ski secured on frame of flaw detector bogie is provided with ultrasonic testing converters unit. Mobile device is provides also with pneumatic system for forced pressing of flaw detector bogie to rails made for adjusting force of pressing in vertical axis and with lateral stabilizing device consisting of roller carriage with flexible damping support. Series magnetizing coils of magnetic control device whose inductive sensor is installed after converters unit in rear part of tracing ski in direction of movement of flaw detector bogie, said coils being fitted on axles of wheel-steps of flaw detector bogie and connected to each other. Said magnetizing coils are installed on bearings and are arranged I protective hood secured on frame of flat detector bogie. Housing of converters unit, protective hood and frame of flaw detector bogie are made on nonmagnetic material. Wheels of flaw detector bogie are installed for independent rotation.

EFFECT: increased resolving power at diagnosing condition of rails, increased dynamic stability of device in movement along rails, reduced mass and dimensional characteristics.
