Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for processing a transmission shaft of a rail vehicle in a non-self-propelled working condition. Background Art

[0002] The GCY-1000 heavy-duty railcar (hereinafter referred to as the "railcar") is a high-speed vehicle independently developed by Golden Eagle Heavy Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. The vehicle can provide traction power for other vehicles on the line for construction and maintenance through coupling. The railcar adopts hydromechanical transmission, and the output torque of the hydraulic transmission box is transmitted to the axle gearbox on the front and rear bogies through the transmission shaft, thereby realizing forward or backward movement. When the vehicle is returned without fire (non-self-propelled working condition), the hydraulic transmission box itself has an idling pump to provide lubricating oil for the output shaft bearing of the neutral transmission box.

[0003] The GCY-1000 heavy-duty rail vehicle is transported to the user's site by fire-free return (non-self-propelled working conditions). In order to avoid abnormalities in the idling pump of the hydraulic transmission box during transportation, if the idling pump does not work, it cannot provide lubricating oil for the output shaft bearing of the transmission box, and the rigid friction causes bearing damage and even rupture of the hydraulic transmission box. Before the vehicle leaves the factory, the company usually removes the two transmission shafts connecting the hydraulic transmission box and the axle gearbox, places them on the vehicle for shipment, and after the vehicle arrives at the user's site, the company sends customer service personnel to remove the transmission shaft from the vehicle and install and reset it. Each transmission shaft is 1800mm long, about 170mm in diameter, and weighs about 250kg. During the disassembly and installation process, at least 3 people are required to squat on the track and carry the transmission shaft on their shoulders. At the same time, 2 people are required to remove and install the bolts and provide safety protection respectively; at least 4 people are required to cooperate in the transportation process of the transmission shaft on and off the vehicle. Due to the small space under the vehicle, the disassembly, transportation and reinstallation processes are not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also involve safety risks. They are also prone to causing damage to components, seriously affecting product quality. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the existing vehicle design and to provide a method for handling the drive shaft when a rail vehicle is in a non-self-propelled operating condition. The method is achieved by arranging auxiliary lifting facilities, lifting tools, and a drive shaft fixing device for fixing one end of the drive shaft on the rail vehicle. When the rail vehicle is in a non-self-propelled operating condition, the drive shaft can be kept from rotating with the wheels when not disassembled, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the transmission system or a certain transmission component, and the drive shaft can be disassembled and assembled by a single person, thereby reducing the labor intensity and construction difficulty of the construction personnel, reducing the number of vehicle customer service personnel, and saving the company's customer service costs.

[0036] The following is combined with the attachedFigure 1 , 3 , 4 describes an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, in the drive shaft handling device during the non-self-propelled condition of the rail vehicle, the auxiliary lifting equipment is fixed through the lifting rings 3 and 5, and the drive shafts 2 and 4 are firmly bundled. The axle gearbox ends of the drive shafts 2 and 4 are disassembled, and the lifting operation is performed on the disassembled ends of the drive shafts 2 and 4 through the auxiliary lifting equipment and fixed on the installation devices 1 and 6. The installation devices 1 and 6 are located above the drive shafts and are composed of a beam and a mounting plate. The beam can be a straight beam or a special-shaped beam to avoid interference with other equipment.

[0038] The mounting plate 101 can be fixed. The mounting holes on the mounting plate are waist-shaped holes, which can avoid the situation that when the drive shafts 2 and 4 cannot rotate, the connection holes on the drive shafts cannot align with the mounting holes on the mounting plate and cannot be installed. There is a transition plate 102 between the mounting plate 101 and the drive shaft. The thickness of the transition plate 102 is greater than the height of the positioning key on the drive shaft protruding from the flange end face, ensuring that the connection surface between the mounting plate and the flange end face of the drive shaft is in surface contact and the connection is reliable.

[0039] The drive shaft between the transmission box and the axle gearbox can be one or more. The two ends of the drive shaft body are respectively connected to two power devices (i.e., axle gearboxes), which are rotating body parts capable of realizing power transmission. In this embodiment: there is one drive shaft between the transmission box 13 and the right axle gearbox 14, and there are two drive shafts between the transmission box 13 and the left axle gearbox 14 (as Figure 1 ).

[0040] As Figure 5 , 6 shown, the installation devices 1 and 6 are located above the drive shafts and are composed of a beam one 106 and a mounting plate. The beam one can be a straight beam or a special-shaped beam to avoid interference with other equipment. The upper end of the mounting plate 101 is a mounting seat 105, and the mounting seat 105 is fixed on the beam one 106. The mounting holes on the fixed mounting plate 101 are waist-shaped holes 104. When the drive shafts 2 and 4 cannot rotate during the installation process, the waist-shaped holes of the mounting holes can ensure that the flange mounting surfaces of the drive shafts 2 and 4 can be connected to the mounting plate through at least 3 bolts at any angle.

[0041] As Figure 7 shown, the transition plate adopts a semi-circular ring structure. There are protruding positioning keys on the flange end faces of the drive shafts 2 and 4. The mounting plate cannot be closely fixed to the flange end faces of the drive shafts 2 and 4. By setting transition plates on both sides of the positioning keys, the two connection surfaces are in smooth contact and the connection is reliable. At the same time, to reduce the weight, the transition plate uses a ring structure.

[0042] Figure 2 , 8In it, the movable mounting plate 7 can be rotatable. The movable mounting plate 7 has a boss on the side of the transmission shaft. The thickness of the boss is greater than the height of the positioning key of the transmission shaft protruding from the flange end face, ensuring that the connection surface of the mounting plate is in surface contact with the flange end face of the transmission shaft when connected, and the connection is reliable. The movable mounting plate 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 8, and the rotating shaft 8 can rotate in the bearing. The bearing is connected to the beam 10 through the bearing seat 9, and the beam 10 is fixed to the bottom of the rail vehicle. The mounting holes on the movable mounting plate 7 can be round holes. When the transmission shaft cannot rotate, the mounting holes can be aligned by rotating the movable mounting plate 7.

[0043] For the transmission shaft processing device of the rail vehicle in the non-self-propelled working condition of the present invention, by adding a mounting device above the transmission shaft, after the single-end disassembly of the transmission shaft, the lifting equipment can be fixed at the lifting ring to realize the lifting of the transmission shaft, so that the transmission shaft is directly suspended under the vehicle, without the need for the whole shaft to be disassembled, reducing the labor intensity and construction difficulty of the construction personnel, reducing the number of vehicle customer service personnel, and saving the company's customer service costs.

[0044] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and deformations made according to the technical concept of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
