Railway hopper car hook head type wedge key anti-loose mechanism and railway hopper car

ActiveCN116447240BNutsBolts
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.

Trolley launcher system for ziplines

ActiveUS12661596B2Helter-skeltersHopper carsStructural engineeringLaunch craft
A launcher for a zipline trolley system comprises a body, first and second arms, first and second connectors, first and second pads, and an actuating portion. The first and second arms extend from the body. The first and second connectors are pivotably connected to the first and second arms, respectively. The first and second pads are connected to the first and second connectors, respectively. The actuating portion comprises a sliding member and first and second pull arms. The first and second pull arms are connected to the first and second connectors, respectively. When the launcher is in a first configuration, the first and second pads are adapted to hold the trolley in place. Movement of the sliding member away from the body causes pivotable movement of the first and second connectors and a transition of the launcher to a second configuration to release the trolley.
