The invention relates to the technical field of railway transportation equipment, and discloses an ore transportation open wagon and a method, which are suitable for a 1435mm standard gauge railway, and comprise a wagon body steel structure, a coupler buffer device, a
brake system and a
bogie, the vehicle body steel structure is an all-steel
welding structure and is used for bearing
bauxite, the total weight is 110t, the
self weight is 24t, the
load capacity is 80t, the
limit load capacity is 94t, and the volume is 56.8; the coupler buffer device comprises a fixed end and a rotating end which are respectively used for realizing fixed
coupling and rotating
coupling with a front vehicle and a rear vehicle; the
braking system comprises an air braking subsystem and a hand braking subsystem; the
bogie is of a cast steel framework type structure, and the axle weight is 30 t. The total length of the open wagon is 11198mm, the fixed distance of the wagon is 5950mm, the maximum width of the open wagon is 3180mm, the maximum height of the open wagon is 3185 mm, the distance between the upper plane of a side beam and a rail surface is 1073mm, the distance between the center of a wagon coupler and the rail surface is 877mm, the fixed axle distance is 1778mm, the minimum passing curvature
radius is 176m, and the running speed is 60km / h. The unloading efficiency is improved, and the maintenance convenience is enhanced.
