粘着铁路, 摩擦铁路
a type of railroad where trains rely on friction between the wheels and the track for propulsion rather than using a cog or rack system
An adhesion railway is a type of railway system that relies on friction between the train's wheels and the tracks to move the train forward. This type of system does not use additional mechanisms, such as gears or magnets, to help the train move, making it simpler and more common in most conventional railways. The traction, or grip, between the wheels and the rails is essential for the train to climb slopes and accelerate. Adhesion railways are widely used for passenger and cargo transport due to their effectiveness, although they may have limits in very steep or challenging terrain, where other systems, like cog railways, might be used.
- In an adhesion railway, locomotives and carriages maintain traction through the weight pressing down on the tracks.
在粘着铁路中，机车和车厢通过压在轨道上的重量保持牵引力。
- Unlike cogwheel railways found in mountainous regions, adhesion railways are more common in flat or moderately sloped terrain.
与山区发现的齿轨铁路不同，粘着铁路在平坦或中等坡度的地形中更为常见。
- Operators ensure that adhesion railways are kept clear of debris to maintain sufficient grip between the wheels and the rails.
操作员确保粘着铁路保持无碎屑，以维持车轮与轨道之间的足够抓地力。
- Adhesion railways require careful management of wheel-to-rail contact to prevent slipping, especially in wet or icy conditions.
粘着铁路需要小心管理轮轨接触以防止打滑，特别是在潮湿或结冰的条件下。
- Engineers design adhesion railways to handle various weather conditions and track gradients efficiently.
