Torpedo car coupler three-state and coupling state detection device and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a torpedo car coupler three-state and coupling state detection device and method. The detection device comprises a mounting bracket, and a coupler knuckle sensor, a coupler lock pin sensor, a coupling sensor and a motion conversion mechanism which are fixed on the mounting bracket. The coupler knuckle sensor and the motion conversion mechanism are installed on the same plane and used for detecting the position of a coupler knuckle. The coupler lock pin sensor is installed right under the coupler lock pin and used for detecting the position of the coupler lock pin. The coupling sensor is mounted at the foremost end of the mounting bracket and is used for detecting the coupling state after the coupler is coupled. The motion conversion mechanism is used for convertingrotation of the coupler knuckle into linear motion of the induction shaft. Rotation of the coupler is converted into linear motion of the induction shaft, the coupler knuckle position detection difficulty is lowered, and the position of the coupler knuckle can be conveniently and indirectly detected. Automatic, remote and informationized detection of the state of the coupler is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the automation field of railway transportation equipment in the metallurgical industry, and more specifically refers to a detection device and detection method for the three-state and coupling state of a torpedo tank car coupler. Background technique [0002] The coupler equipped on the torpedo tanker is 2# coupler, which is made of cast steel and mainly consists of coupler neck 1, coupler lock pin 2, coupler head 3, knuckle tongue pin 4, knuckle tongue 5 and other components. There are three working states of the coupler: There are three states, that is, locked position, unlocked position, and fully opened position. [0003] CN205451655U discloses a teaching mold for the automatic demonstration of the three-state test of the coupler. The three-state process of the coupler can be demonstrated quickly and intuitively automatically through this mold. [0004] figure 1 Schematic diagram showing the locked position of the couple...

Problems solved by technology

However, at this stage, the coupler is not equipped with relevant testing equipment, and the state of the coupler cannot be grasped, so it is impossible to realize the independent coupling and decoupling operation in an unmanned state.
