[0002] The maintenance business of basic braking products for railway locomotives and vehicles is constantly expanding. At the same time, customers' requirements for the maintenance process level, quality ability, maintenance cycle, maintenance cost, and maintenance digitization of the brake caliper unit are also constantly increasing. As key components of the basic braking device, the performance of the brake caliper unit and the tread braking unit directly affects the running safety and riding comfort of the train.

[0003] The maintenance of the brake caliper unit mainly includes: caliper disassembly, cleaning, part repainting, bolt flaw detection, detection of replacement parts, re - surface treatment of alloy steel bolts, assembly, testing, packaging, etc.

[0004] For the existing inspection link of screw and nut replacement parts in the brake caliper unit, it mainly includes the detection of the axial backward movement amount and the tooth - meshing amount between the screw and the nut. Axial backward movement amount of the screw and nut: Screw a new adjusting nut or guiding nut onto the screw as a scale, and measure the axial backward clearance between the nut and the screw, which shall not exceed the standard value, otherwise replace the new screw. Tooth - meshing amount: Use a new connecting rod as a scale, and use a special measuring tool to measure the meshing amount between the screw teeth and the tooth surface of the connecting rod. The minimum limit value is N. When it is less than N, it is determined that the tooth surface of the screw is worn out and unqualified.

[0082] Detection process of the backward movement amount of the lead screw nut shaft:

[0083] 1. Press the detection button 4 with both hands, and the lifting motor 221 drives the workpiece or the standard workpiece (lead screw) on the upper chuck 24 to move to the set position (the set initial position is the top of the main support 26);

[0084] 2. The lower chuck 25 (with a clamping nut installed on the lower chuck 25) is driven by the rotary motor 231 to rotate and perform an interpolation movement with the lifting motor 221. The nut is screwed into the set position on the lead screw, and the rotation stops (if the safety light curtain is triggered during the interpolation process, the rotation will pause).

[0085] 3. The lifting motor 221 drives the upper chuck 24 to move downward until the lower optical switch 226 is triggered, and the grating scale 21 takes a value.

[0086] 4. The lifting motor 221 drives the upper chuck 24 to move upward until the upper optical switch 225 is triggered, and the grating scale 21 takes a value.

[0087] 5. The difference between the two values taken by the grating scale 21 is the backward movement value of the lead screw / nut axis.

[0088] 6. The lifting motor 221 drives the upper chuck 24 to move downward to the middle position between the upper optical switch 225 and the lower optical switch 226.

[0089] 7. The lifting motor 221 and the rotary motor 231 perform an interpolation movement, and the nut is unscrewed.

[0090] 8. The lifting motor 221 drives the upper chuck 24 to move upward to the initial position.

[0091] 9. After the detection is completed, the workpiece is removed.

[0092] Detection process of the tooth engagement amount:

[0093] 1. Press the detection button 4 with both hands. The lifting motor 221 drives the workpiece on the upper chuck or the standard workpiece (lead screw) to move downward to the set position (the upper optical switch is triggered at this position).

[0094] 2. The rotary motor 231 drives the lower chuck 25 to rotate a certain angle (the angle value can be set). The upper chuck 24 is fixed, and the tooth surface of the upper workpiece (lead screw) is closely attached to the tooth surface of the lower part (nut) under the action of the spring force. The grating scale 21 dynamically takes a value, and the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the grating scale is the tooth engagement amount value.

[0095] 3. The lifting motor 221 drives the upper chuck 24 to move upward to the initial position.

[0096] 4. After the detection is completed, the workpiece is removed.

The axial direction of the rotary shaft is preloaded by a pair of thrust ball bearings and a butterfly spring to eliminate the axial clearance;

[0102] A safety grating is configured on the workbench and started by a double-button. During the inspection process, if the safety grating is triggered, the inspection station stops moving. It is necessary to press the start inspection button again to continue the inspection, ensuring operation safety; rollers are arranged at the bottom of the workbench to realize the movement of the workbench, which can be conveniently moved to the inspection workpiece, improving the convenience of part inspection and reducing the handling of inspection workpieces;
