This invention provides a hook-type wedge key anti-loosening mechanism for railway hopper cars and a railway hopper car, relating to the field of railway vehicle technology. It is used for anti-loosening connection of a hook-type wedge key between a
drive shaft and a
crank, comprising: a first threaded hole provided on one end face of the
drive shaft near the hook-type wedge key; a lever with a through hole in the middle of its side, wherein when the center line of the through hole coincides with the center line of the first threaded hole, the lower part of the lever can fit against the exposed end of the hook-type wedge key; and a first bolt, one end of which can pass through the through hole and be threadedly connected to the first threaded hole. This mechanism has a simple structure, requiring only the operation of the first bolt on the lever during
assembly and disassembly. It involves fewer
assembly and disassembly steps, is highly efficient, and economical. It solves the problems of numerous steps, low efficiency, and high manufacturing and repair costs associated with existing railway hopper car technologies using stop
welding and disassembly, thereby improving traffic safety.
