Abstract

Intensive wear of rails in curves significantly reduces their service life, reduces the efficiency of operational work. A promising direction in solving this problem is the technology of rail grinding, which allows mechanical processing of the rail head without dismantling them in the conditions of a railway track. The article presents the results of studies of the noise impact on track workers when grinding rails by means of small mechanization-a rail-grinding machine SH-1, a grinding machine 2152D and a manual machine for grinding rails MRSH3. The analysis of various layouts of rail grinding machines, their features, technical characteristics and octave levels of sound pressure when these machines are running at idle and under load was carried out. According to the results of experimental studies, graphical dependences of the sound pressure levels of rail grinding machines are constructed, the excess of the noise level over the permissible sanitary standards in the area of rail grinding by means of small mechanization is revealed.
