[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are written in a progressive manner.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a high-speed pantograph bow head structure,

[0039] It includes a slide plate structure 1, a left support 2, a right support, a left connecting rod 3, a right connecting rod 9, a mounting frame 5 and a buffer assembly;

[0040] The top of the left support 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the skateboard structure 1, and the bottom of the left support 2 is hinged to the top of the left connecting rod 3 through a hinge;

[0041] The top of the right support is fixedly connected to the bottom of the skateboard structure 1, and the bottom of the right support is hinged to the top of the right connecting rod 9 through a hinge;

[0042] A buffer assembly is provided on the mounting base 5;

[0043] The bottom of the left connecting rod 3 and the bottom of the right connecting rod 9 are hinged on the buffer assembly.

[0044] The high-speed pantograph bow head structure of the present invention has a left support 2, a right support, a left connecting rod 3, and a right connecting rod 9 provided below the slide plate structure 1, and the bottom buffer components of the left connecting rod 3 and the right connecting rod 9 are hinged on the buffer component. When the high-speed train is running, due to the bumps or wind resistance of the high-speed train, the left connecting rod 3 can adaptively adjust the angle relationship between it and the left support 2, and the right connecting rod 9 can adaptively adjust the angle relationship between it and the right support, so as to keep the slide plate structure 1 in contact with the power grid as much as possible, thereby ensuring the safety of electricity use of the high-speed train.

[0045] The mounting frame 5 of the present invention is provided with a left fixed seat 4 and a right movable seat 8, the left connecting rod 3 is mounted on the left fixed seat 4 through a pin, and the right connecting rod 9 is mounted on the right movable seat 8 through a pin. The middle part of the left connecting rod 3 is mounted on the left fixed seat 4 through a pin, and the bottom of the left connecting rod 3 is hinged on the buffer assembly, and the middle part of the bottom of the right connecting rod 9 is mounted on the right movable seat 8 through a pin, and the bottom of the right connecting rod 9 is also hinged on the buffer assembly. When the slide plate structure 1 is subjected to pressure, the slide plate structure 1 will press the left support 2 and the right support downward, and the tops of the left connecting rod 3 and the right connecting rod 9 sink downward. At this time, the bottoms of the left connecting rod 3 and the right connecting rod 9 are lifted upward, and the buffer assembly is also lifted upward to store potential energy or release potential energy. On the contrary, when the pressure on the skateboard structure 1 is reduced or not under pressure, the left support 2 and the right support are lifted upward, and the tops of the left connecting rod 3 and the right connecting rod 9 are lifted upward. At this time, the bottoms of the left connecting rod 3 and the right connecting rod 9 are pressed downward, and the buffer assembly is also compressed, thereby releasing potential energy or storing potential energy.

[0046] In order to better convert the potential energy of the buffer assembly into the vertical displacement of the skateboard structure 1, the hinge position of the left connecting rod 3 and the left fixed seat 4 and the hinge position of the right connecting rod 9 and the right movable seat 8 can be adjusted according to the needs of the vertical movement stroke of the skateboard. The ratio of the distance between the hinge position of the left connecting rod 3 and the left fixed seat 4 and the bottom of the left connecting rod 3 to the top of the left connecting rod 3 can be 1.5-2.5. Symmetrically, the ratio of the distance between the hinge position of the right connecting rod 9 and the right movable seat 8 and the bottom of the right connecting rod 9 to the top of the right connecting rod 9 can also be 1.5-2.5. Through this lever structure, the downward movement distance of the skateboard structure 1 can be reduced, the compression stroke of the buffer assembly (spring) can be reduced, thereby reducing the height dimension of the buffer assembly, and then reducing the size of the windward surface.

[0047] The right support of the present invention includes a movable slide seat 11 and a short connecting rod 10, wherein the movable slide seat 11 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the slide, the top of the short connecting rod 10 is connected to the movable slide seat 11 through a hinge, and the bottom of the short connecting rod 10 is connected to the top of the right connecting rod 9 through a hinge. The hinged relationship between the short connecting rod 10 and the right connecting rod 9 can adjust the angle between them according to actual conditions, thereby changing the height of the top of the short connecting rod 10.

[0048] The bottom of the left connecting rod 3 of the present invention is hinged with the bottom of the right connecting rod 9 through a pin, and the pin is connected to the buffer assembly. The lifting or sinking of the buffer assembly can drive the lifting or sinking of the pin, thereby realizing the up and down displacement of the bottom of the left connecting rod 3 and the bottom of the right connecting rod 9.

[0049] The left fixed seat 4 of the present invention is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 5, and the right movable seat 8 is movably mounted on the mounting base 5 via a pin shaft.

[0050] The buffer assembly of the present invention comprises a spring 7 and a rod seat 6, wherein the spring 7 is arranged between the rod seat 6 and the mounting base 5, and the rod seat 6 is connected with the pin. The arrangement of the rod seat 6 can better convert the potential energy of the spring 7 into the movement potential energy of the pin.

[0051] The buffer assembly of the present invention comprises two rod seats 6, which are symmetrically mounted at the front and rear ends of the pin, the axis of the rod seat 6 is perpendicular to the axis of the pin, and more than four springs are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the rod seat 6. The symmetrical arrangement allows the tension and pressure of the spring 7 to be released more evenly and stably, and the upward and downward movement of the pin is more even and gentle, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the bow head structure of the high-speed pantograph of the present invention.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention further comprises a spring box 12, which comprises an upper cover and a lower cover, and the upper cover and the lower cover cooperate to accommodate the buffer assembly and the connection part of the left connecting rod 3 and the right connecting rod 9 in the inner cavity of the spring box 12. One of the uses of the spring box 12 is to protect the buffer assembly, the left connecting rod 3 and the right connecting rod 9, and another function is to reduce the resistance of the bow head structure of the high-speed pantograph during operation.

[0053] In order to further reduce the resistance of the high-speed pantograph bow head structure during operation, the upper cover of the present invention is smoothly streamlined along the movement direction of the slide plate structure, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the windward area, reducing wind resistance and aerodynamic noise.

[0054] The skateboard structure 1 of the present invention is a single skateboard, which can simplify the bow head structure, reduce the number of bow head joints and components, reduce the size of the bow head, and further achieve the purpose of reducing the windward area, reducing wind resistance and aerodynamic noise.

[0055] The slide plate structure 1, the left support 2, the left connecting rod 3, the left fixed seat 4, the mounting base 5, the right movable seat 8, the right connecting rod 9, the short connecting rod 10 and the movable slide plate seat 11 of the present invention are all made of aluminum alloy materials. The main components of the high-speed pantograph bow head structure are made of aluminum alloy materials. The lightweight pantograph bow head structure can improve the vibration and impact response of the pantograph bow head due to the unevenness of the contact network line when the pantograph bow head moves at high speed, and reduce the offline risk caused by the slow response of the bow head.

[0056] The high-speed pantograph bow head structure of the present invention simplifies the bow head structure, reduces the number of bow head joints and components, and reduces the size of the bow head, thereby reducing the windward area, reducing wind resistance and aerodynamic noise; the lightweight bow head structure can improve the vibration and impact response of the pantograph bow head caused by the unevenness of the contact network when the pantograph bow head moves at high speed, and reduce the offline risk caused by the slow response of the pantograph bow head.

[0057] The bow head structure of the high-speed pantograph of the present invention can not only absorb the vertical vibration and impact of the bow head, but also absorb the vibration impact from the front and back. The springs of the buffer assembly are arranged symmetrically in front, back, left and right directions. The springs are pulled by the pull rod seat to achieve the shock absorption and vibration absorption function of the bow head. When the skateboard structure is impacted from front and back and causes the skateboard structure 1 to tilt from front to back, the springs can absorb the impact and always push the skateboard structure 1 to the center position. The buffer assembly has symmetrically arranged springs in the front and back directions. When it is slightly tilted, the force on the front spring is inconsistent with the force on the rear spring, and the spring on the side with greater force pushes the skateboard structure 1 to the side with less force to ensure that the skateboard structure 1 is in the center position.

[0058] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
