Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of railway freight car manufacturing and marking, and in particular to a permanent factory nameplate for railway freight cars and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacturer's nameplate on a railway freight car is an important identifier that records the manufacturing information and maintenance history of the vehicle. It is crucial for the management of the entire life cycle of the vehicle and is an indispensable information foundation for subsequent use, inspection, maintenance, and dispatch. As an identification device that is permanently attached to the vehicle structure, the manufacturer's nameplate plays a key role in the management of railway freight cars throughout their entire life cycle, especially in asset management, fault tracing, technical file maintenance, and operational safety monitoring.

[0003] Currently, such as Figure 1 As shown, existing railway freight car manufacturer nameplates are typically made of traditional metal materials such as cast steel and aluminum alloy, and are installed on the side walls and side beams of the vehicles using fasteners such as rivets and screws. This type of structure was practical in the early days, but with the continuous improvement of vehicle operating environment and management requirements, the original manufacturer nameplate structure has revealed many limitations.

[0004] First, from the perspective of material durability, cast steel and aluminum alloys are highly susceptible to corrosion during long-term operation of railway freight cars, especially in complex environments such as high humidity, salt spray, dust, and extreme temperature differences. This corrosion can lead to blurred lettering and illegible information on the nameplate surface, severely affecting its visibility and readability. Second, traditional rivet or screw fixing methods are prone to loosening or even detachment under long-term vibration, impact, and operating loads. Incidents of factory nameplate detachment are frequent, causing difficulties in vehicle identification and increasing safety hazards in operation and management. Furthermore, some railway freight car factory nameplates are installed on structural parts prone to collisions or replacement during maintenance, such as side walls and end walls. These areas are easily damaged or accidentally removed during maintenance or replacement work, affecting the durability and effectiveness of the nameplates.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, some technical solutions attempt to improve the adaptability of nameplates by modifying their structure or materials. For example, Chinese invention patent application number 202110219390.1 discloses a corrosion-resistant insulating nameplate, but this solution only focuses on material properties and does not optimize from the perspective of installation method and location rationality. Similarly, Chinese utility model patent application number 202121535271.9 discloses a nameplate fixing structure, but it is still based on traditional materials and does not consider the maintainability and impact resistance of the installation location, failing to solve the comprehensive performance problem of factory nameplates at the system level.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a railway wagon permanent factory nameplate with high corrosion resistance, strong fixation reliability and reasonable installation position design to effectively cope with the whole life cycle environmental challenges and meet the high requirements of modern railway equipment for permanent identification of the nameplate has become a technical problem to be solved in the field. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application is proposed to solve the above problems, and aims to provide a railway wagon permanent factory nameplate and an installation method thereof, which can ensure the integrity and readability of the nameplate during the whole service life of the railway wagon, and solve the problems of easy corrosion, easy loss and unreasonable installation position of the existing railway wagon factory nameplate.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the first aspect of the present application provides a railway wagon permanent factory nameplate, which comprises a stainless steel plate base body, and the nameplate information is arranged on the stainless steel plate base body. The nameplate information adopts one or more of laser cutting hollow font, etching concave paint filling font, cast font or molded font. The railway wagon permanent factory nameplate is fixed to the non-replacement area of the railway wagon by full welding.

[0009] Further, the stainless steel plate base body is made of 304 stainless steel or 316L stainless steel.

[0010] Further, when the nameplate information adopts laser cutting hollow font or etching concave paint filling font, the stainless steel plate base body adopts a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 5mm or more.

[0011] Further, when the nameplate information adopts cast font or molded font, the stainless steel plate base body adopts a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 8mm or more.

[0012] Further, the laser cutting hollow font adopted by the nameplate information is a hollow font penetrating through the stainless steel plate base body.

[0013] Further, the etching concave paint filling font adopted by the nameplate information comprises an etching groove and an anti-corrosion paint layer filled in the groove.

[0014] Further, the nameplate information comprises manufacturer information, manufacturing time information or equipment model information.

[0015] The second aspect of the present application provides an installation method of the above railway wagon permanent factory nameplate, which comprises the following steps: S1: select a stainless steel plate substrate, at least one of the characters forming processes of hollowing out characters by laser cutting, etching concave paint filling characters, casting characters or molding characters is formed on the stainless steel plate substrate to form a nameplate information, and a permanent factory nameplate of a railway wagon is obtained; S2: determining a non-replacement area of the railway wagon as a mounting position; S3: placing the permanent factory nameplate of the railway wagon in the mounting position; S4: welding the permanent factory nameplate of the railway wagon to the non-replacement area of the railway wagon by full welding.

[0016] Further, in the step S2, the non-replacement area is an area that does not need to be repaired, repaired and replaced in the service life of the railway wagon; the non-replacement area includes the side beam or end beam of the chassis of the railway wagon.

[0017] Further, in the step S4, the full welding method uses continuous weld to completely seal and weld the four peripheral edges of the permanent factory nameplate of the railway wagon to the non-replacement area of the railway wagon.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: Firstly, the present application uses a stainless steel plate as a substrate, and forms various types of nameplate information on the surface thereof, and combines laser cutting, etching paint filling, casting, molding and other processes to make the nameplate have excellent corrosion resistance, information identification and processing adaptability; in addition, the nameplate is fixed to the non-replacement area of the side beam or end beam of the chassis by full welding, which significantly improves the anti-vibration and anti-falling ability and reduces the risk of loss during use, thereby ensuring the permanent and reliable identification function of the nameplate from the source.

[0019] Secondly, the stainless steel plate substrate of the present application preferably uses 304 stainless steel or 316L stainless steel as the nameplate substrate material, which has stronger weather resistance, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, and can resist complex corrosion factors such as high humidity, high salt and large temperature difference in the railway transportation environment for a long time, thereby effectively prolonging the service life of the nameplate.

[0020] Thirdly, when the nameplate information adopts laser cutting hollowing or etching concave paint filling characters, the stainless steel plate with a thickness greater than 5mm is selected to further improve the overall strength of the nameplate and the three-dimensional feeling of the characters, so that the characters still have good readability even after being subjected to collision or wear, thereby enhancing the anti-damage and information retention of the nameplate. When the nameplate information adopts casting characters or molding characters, a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 8mm or more is used to strengthen the overall rigidity and appearance stability of the nameplate, so as to ensure that the characters are not easily deformed or flattened during long-term use, thereby improving the stability and recognition of the nameplate.

[0021] Fourthly, the hollowed-out font formed by laser cutting is a penetrating structure penetrating through the stainless steel plate base body, which has clear visibility without relying on ink or paint filling, effectively avoids the problem of identification failure caused by paint peeling, corrosion and fading, and realizes the permanent information carrier of the body.

[0022] Fifthly, the etched concave paint-filled font is provided with an etched groove and an anti-corrosion paint layer, and the anti-corrosion paint is filled in the groove, which has a self-protection function. Even if the surface paint is worn, the paint in the groove can still maintain the integrity of the font, and has visual beauty and durability.

[0023] Sixthly, the installation method of the present application considers the material selection, font process and position selection, and clearly processes the nameplate information by means of hollowing, etching, casting and molding, and selects the non-cutting area of the side beam or end beam of the chassis for installation. Combined with the full welding operation steps, the systematic and standardized operation from design to installation is realized.

[0024] Seventhly, the nameplate is installed in the non-cutting area, which can effectively avoid the disassembly, damage or loss of the nameplate caused by vehicle maintenance, component replacement and other operations, improve the durability of the nameplate, and ensure the continuity and integrity of the information identification of the vehicle in the whole life cycle. The continuous welding seam method is adopted to completely seal and weld the edges of the nameplate, which significantly enhances the fixing strength and sealing performance of the nameplate in long-term operation, prevents water vapor and dust from entering from the joint, avoids the problems of nameplate loosening, rusting and edge lifting, and has high structural firmness and environmental adaptability.
