A vehicle rigid-flexible coupling connection method and connection mechanism

Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle rigid and flexible coupling connection method and connection mechanism. According to the vehicle rigid and flexible coupling connection method and connection mechanism, connection faces of two vehicles to be connected are correspondingly provided with connection points, and the connection points comprise flexible connection points and rigid connection points; the flexible connection points make the two vehicles be subjected to rigid constraint in the vehicle forward or backward direction and be subjected to limited constraint in the vehicle left-right and up-down directions, and the rigid connection points make the two vehicles be all subjected to the rigid constraint in the vehicle forward or backward, left and right and up and down directions; when the vehicles need flexible connection, the connection between the vehicles is realized through the flexible connection points; and when the vehicles need rigid connection, the flexible connection points arefirstly connected, then the rigid connection points are conneted and locked, and finally, the flexible connection points are locked utilizing locking mechanisms. By means of the vehicle rigid and flexible coupling connection method and connection mechanism, the flexible connection, the rigid connection and rigid and flexible mixed connection between the vehicles can be realized, manpower is saved, and the vehicle rigid and flexible coupling connection method and connection mechanism are high in efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicle driving, in particular to a vehicle rigid-flexible coupling connection method and a connection mechanism. Background technique [0002] Two or more vehicles can be connected as a whole through the connecting mechanism between vehicles. Due to the standardization of road and railway conditions, traditional road cars and trains generally use flexible connection mechanisms to connect two vehicles, so as to achieve the purpose of vehicle traction and improve vehicle transportation capacity. [0003] Traditional connection mechanisms are widely cited because of their simple structure and light weight. However, this connection technology scheme has the following disadvantages at the same time: [0004] One is that the connecting mechanism basically plays the role of traction and being towed, and the constraints between each vehicle are not strong, which makes the system stability of multi-section vehi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] One is that the connecting mechanism basically plays the role of traction and being towed, and the constraints between each vehicle are not strong, which makes the system stability worse when multiple vehicles are driving on complex roads

When driving on unstructured roads (structured roads such as cement roads, asphalt roads), the connection mechanism is not stable

[0005] Second, the operation of the connection mechanism is complicated, and the connection action requires manual intervention

Although the working efficiency of the connection mechanism between each vehicle in a train is higher than that of an articulated bus or a truck trailer, it still requires manual intervention to complete each group of connection actions

[0006] The third is that the application of the connecting mechanism basically plays the role of traction and being towed, and cannot improve the passing ability of the vehicle on the soft road surface and the passing ability of a single vehicle to deal with other obstacles.

[0007] The road conditions during vehicle driving cannot be accurately predicted in advance. Sometimes a flexible connection mechanism is required to realize turning, and sometimes a rigid connection mechanism is required to deal with complex road conditions. There is no connection mechanism and connection method that can satisfy these two working conditions at the same time in the prior art.
