Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of railway engineering machinery technology, specifically relating to an eight-wheel turnout transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's railway transportation industry, the construction mileage of railways is also increasing. Turnouts, as crucial hubs connecting two different lines, are an indispensable part of railway lines. Turnouts are characterized by their large number, short lifespan, complex structure, and heavy maintenance workload. Therefore, replacing turnouts on railway lines is a labor-intensive but unavoidable task. During the replacement process, transferring the turnouts is an essential and crucial step, especially the transfer of entire sets of turnouts. Due to their long longitudinal span, wide lateral span, and heavy weight, they are prone to interference with high-pole signals and track clearances around the line during transfer. There has never been a good method to solve this problem. Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing methods to adapt to the needs of rapid railway development.

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0043] Please see Figures 1-14 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0044] An eight-wheel turnout transfer device, see Figure 1 As shown, the eight-wheel turnout transfer device includes:

[0045] Front frame 1; see Figure 2 As shown, the front frame 1 is composed of a front beam 101, a rear beam 102, side beams 103, and a balance beam mounting base 104. There are two side beams 103 that are parallel to each other. The front beam 101 is connected to the front end of the two side beams 103, and the rear beam 102 is connected to the rear end of the two side beams 103. The balance beam mounting base 104 is provided on the outer side of the middle of the two side beams 103.

[0046] The rear frame 3 is symmetrically arranged with the front frame 1; the rear frame 3 has the same structure as the front frame 1.

[0047] Equilibrium Beam 2, see Figure 3 As shown, the front and rear ends of the equalizing beam 2 are mounted on the front frame 1 and the rear frame 3, and the four corners of the equalizing beam 2 are movably and detachably connected to the front frame 1 and the rear frame 3.

[0048] The equalizing beam 2 is composed of side beams 210, a middle beam 220 and lifting seats 230; the side beams 210 are two and parallel to each other, the middle beam 220 is connected between the two side beams 210, the front and rear ends of the two side beams 210 of the equalizing beam 2 are respectively overlapped on the equalizing beam mounting seats 104 on the two sides of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 3 and connected with the equalizing beam mounting seats 104 by four pin shafts I 10. The lower parts of the two ends of the two side beams 210 are respectively provided with a lifting seat 230, which plays a supporting role for the device when the lifting turnout transfer device is used.

[0049] When the device needs to pass through a curve, the two diagonal pin shafts I 10 are pulled out to release the freedom between the equalizing beam 2 and the front frame 1 and the rear frame 3, so that the device can smoothly pass through the curve.

[0050] When passing through the curve, the swing angle of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 3 relative to the equalizing beam 2 is less than two degrees, so that the swing angle limiting blocks 11 for limiting the swing angle of the front and rear frames relative to the equalizing beam 2 are arranged on the two sides of the connection between the side beams 210 and the equalizing beam mounting seats 104, so that the swing angle between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 3 and the equalizing beam 2 is limited to be not more than two degrees.

[0051] The rotating and transverse moving mechanism 4, as shown in Figure 4 and 5 , is rotatably connected to the upper middle part of the equalizing beam 2 by a friction pair. Specifically, the rotating and transverse moving mechanism 4 includes a transverse moving platform 410, a transverse moving base 420, a mechanism base 430, a transverse moving oil cylinder 440 and a rotating table 450. The transverse moving platform 410 is arranged on the upper part of the transverse moving base 420 and the two are connected by a friction pair. The two ends of the transverse moving oil cylinder 440 are respectively connected to the transverse moving platform 410 and the transverse moving base 420. The transverse moving base 420 is rotatably connected to the mechanism base 430 through the rotating table 450. The mechanism base 430 is fixed on the middle beam 220 of the equalizing beam 2 by bolt connection.

[0052] The walking system 8, as shown in Figure 2 , is arranged on the front and rear ends of the front frame 1 and the front and rear ends of the rear frame 3. The walking system 8 includes a driving wheel system 810 arranged on both sides of one end of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 3 and a driven wheel system 820 arranged on both sides of the other end.

[0053] The driving wheel system 810 includes a driving wheel frame 811, a driving wheel 812 and a speed reducer 813. The driving wheel frame 811 is connected with the corresponding front frame 1 and rear frame 3. The driving wheel 812 is mounted on the driving wheel frame 811. The speed reducer 813 is connected with the driving wheel 812.

[0054] The driven wheel system 820 comprises a driven wheel frame 821 connected with the corresponding front frame 1 and rear frame 3, a driven wheel 822 supported on the driven wheel frame 821 through an axle 823;

[0055] The driving wheel frame 811 and the driven wheel frame 821 are connected with the corresponding front frame 1 and rear frame 3 through a pin shaft II 840, and a compression spring 830 is additionally arranged between the driving wheel frame 811, the driven wheel frame 821 and the corresponding front frame 1 and rear frame 3. Thus, it is ensured that the device can always ensure the wheel to be in contact with the rail surface when the track is uneven, and the pressure difference between the same wheel pairs is reduced.

[0056] Further, a heightening tool 9 is provided, as shown in Figure 1 When the device avoids obstacles in the process of transferring the turnout or laying and replacing the device alone, the heightening tool 9 needs to be placed on the transverse moving platform 410 of the rotating transverse moving mechanism 4, and the heightening tool is limited by the limiting mechanism of the heightening tool.

[0057] The front frame 1 is provided with a power system 5 and a hydraulic system 6, and the rear frame 3 is provided with an electrical system 7.

[0058] Working principle: When the device avoids obstacles in the process of transferring the turnout or laying and replacing the device, the external load acts on the rotating transverse moving mechanism 4, and then is transmitted to the front and rear frames through the equalizing beam 2, and finally is transmitted to the eight wheels, so that the eight wheels are uniformly stressed.

[0059] The entire device can be remotely controlled during the construction process, mainly controlling the running of the turnout transfer device and the transverse movement of the rotating transverse moving mechanism. The rotating function of the rotating transverse moving mechanism in the horizontal plane is realized by external force.

[0060] When transferring the whole turnout, four eight-wheel turnout transfer devices need to work cooperatively, wherein the rotating transverse moving mechanisms of the front and rear two turnout transfer devices are provided with transverse moving oil cylinders, and the rotating transverse moving mechanisms of the middle two turnout transfer devices are not provided with transverse moving oil cylinders (only have passive transverse moving function), and the distance between the four turnout transfer devices arranged in pairs is 12 m. When transferring the whole turnout, there are two working conditions, one is the working condition of transferring the whole turnout on a straight track, and the other is the working condition of transferring the whole turnout on a curved track. The working principles of the turnout transfer devices in the two working conditions will be introduced respectively.

[0061] I. The working principle of the turnout transfer device in the working condition of transferring the whole turnout on a straight track, as shown in Figure 6 ;

[0062] (1) Place the whole turnout on the four turnout transfer devices, and ensure that the front and rear ends of the turnout are suspended by equal lengths when placing the turnout, so as to ensure that the geometric center line of the turnout coincides with the geometric center line of the turnout transfer device.

[0063] (2) Lock the horizontal movement function of the rotating horizontal movement mechanism on the two turnout transfer devices before and after;

[0064] (3) Complete the transfer of the entire turnout on the straight track. The entire turnout will not interfere with the line rod limit when it is transferred on the straight track.

[0065] II. The working principle of the turnout transfer device when transferring the entire turnout on a curve, as shown in Figure 7 ;

[0066] When the turnout transfer device transfers the entire turnout through the curve, the turnout will interfere with the high column signal on both sides of the line and the line rod (the high column signal and the line rod will not appear on both sides of the turnout at the same time, hereinafter referred to as line rod limit). Therefore, before the turnout enters the curve, the position of the turnout relative to the turnout transfer device needs to be adjusted. The transfer of the turnout on a curve is divided into four conditions, one is that the line rod limit is located on the outside of the curve and close to the main line of the turnout; two is that the line rod limit is located on the outside of the curve and close to the side line of the turnout; three is that the line rod limit is located on the inside of the curve and close to the main line of the turnout; four is that the line rod limit is located on the inside of the curve and close to the side line of the turnout. The working principle of the turnout transfer device under these four conditions is described below.

[0067] 1. The working principle of the turnout transfer device when the line rod limit is located on the outside of the curve and close to the main line of the turnout

[0068] (1) Adjust the horizontal movement of the rotating horizontal movement mechanism on the No. 1 turnout transfer device by 400 mm upwards;

[0069] (2) Lock the horizontal movement function of the rotating horizontal movement mechanism on the No. 1 turnout transfer device;

[0070] (3) Adjust the horizontal movement of the rotating horizontal movement mechanism on the No. 4 turnout transfer device by 400 mm downwards and lock its horizontal movement function;

[0071] (4) The turnout transfer device walks forward and the entire turnout passes through the curve (the No. 2 and No. 3 turnout transfer devices are in a following state during the entire operation process).

[0072] 2. The working principle of the turnout transfer device when the line rod limit is located on the outside of the curve and close to the side line of the turnout, as shown in Figure 8 ;

[0073] (1) Adjust the horizontal movement of the rotating horizontal movement mechanism on the No. 1 turnout transfer device by 400 mm downwards;

[0074] (2) Lock the horizontal movement function of the rotating horizontal movement mechanism on the No. 1 turnout transfer device;

[0075] (3) Adjust the lateral shift of the rotating lateral shift mechanism on the No. 4 turnout transfer device to 400 mm upward and lock the lateral shift function;

[0076] (4) The turnout transfer device walks forward and the whole set of turnouts pass the curve (the No. 2 and No. 3 turnout transfer devices are in the follow-up state during the whole operation process).

[0077] 3. The working principle of the turnout transfer device when the line rod limit is located inside the curve and close to the main line of the turnout, see Figure 9 ;

[0078] (1) Adjust the lateral shift of the rotating lateral shift mechanism on the No. 1 turnout transfer device to 600 mm upward;

[0079] (2) Lock the lateral shift function of the rotating lateral shift mechanism on the No. 1 turnout transfer device;

[0080] (3) Adjust the lateral shift of the rotating lateral shift mechanism on the No. 4 turnout transfer device to 600 mm upward and lock the lateral shift function;

[0081] (4) The turnout transfer device walks forward and the whole set of turnouts pass the curve (the No. 2 and No. 3 turnout transfer devices are in the follow-up state during the whole operation process).

[0082] 4. The working principle of the turnout transfer device when the line rod limit is located inside the curve and close to the side line of the turnout, see Figure 10 ;

[0083] (1) Adjust the rotating lateral shift mechanism on the No. 1 turnout transfer device to be in the lateral shift lock state;

[0084] (2) Adjust the lateral shift of the rotating lateral shift mechanism on the No. 4 turnout transfer device to 400 mm upward and lock the lateral shift function;

[0085] (3) The turnout transfer device walks forward and the whole set of turnouts pass the curve (the No. 2 and No. 3 turnout transfer devices are in the follow-up state during the whole operation process).

[0086] In the process of transporting new and old turnout by turnout replacement device, if the milestone or low column signal on the railway line is encountered, due to the special position of the two, the turnout replacement device cannot pass through its own function, and needs to assist the turnout transfer device to avoid obstacles. The working state and working principle of the eight-wheel turnout transfer device in assisting the turnout replacement device to avoid obstacles are as follows: the auxiliary obstacle avoidance working condition is divided into four kinds, one is that the ballast height is 0mm, and the turnout replacement device and the turnout are assisted to avoid obstacles at the same time; two is that the turnout height is 0mm, and only the turnout replacement device is assisted to avoid obstacles; three is that the ballast height is 600mm, and the turnout replacement device and the turnout are assisted to avoid obstacles at the same time; four is that the turnout height is 600mm, and only the turnout replacement device is assisted to avoid obstacles. The following four working conditions are introduced respectively:

[0087] 1. The ballast height is 0mm, and the turnout replacement device and the turnout are assisted to avoid obstacles at the same time, as shown in Figure 11 ;

[0088] The turnout replacement device 13 stops walking when encountering obstacles 14, adjusts the track leg of the first pair of track legs to an appropriate height (ensures that the turnout transfer device passes smoothly), and the turnout transfer device 15 walks to the bottom of the first pair of track legs of the turnout replacement device 13 by self walking. The turnout replacement device 13 adjusts the height of the track leg again so that the turnout 12 is seated on the bearing platform of the turnout replacement device, and the first pair of track legs of the turnout replacement device 13 is retracted. The first pair of track legs of the turnout replacement device continues to walk forward, so that the first pair of track legs crosses the obstacle; the first pair of track legs of the turnout replacement device is lowered to the ground, and all track legs are raised to an appropriate height at the same time, so that the turnout leaves the cross-moving platform 410 of the turnout transfer device and ensures that the turnout replacement device can pass smoothly; control two turnout replacement devices to walk to the middle two pairs of track legs of the turnout replacement device by self walking, and assist the middle two pairs of track legs to complete obstacle avoidance in the same way, and then complete the obstacle avoidance of the last pair of track legs.

[0089] 2. The ballast height is 0mm, and only the turnout replacement device is assisted to avoid obstacles, as shown in Figure 12 ;

[0090] The turnout laying device 13 stops walking when encountering an obstacle 14, adjusts the crawler legs of the device to an appropriate height (to ensure the smooth passing of the turnout transfer device), installs the heightening tool 9 of the turnout transfer device 15 on the transverse platform 410 of the turnout transfer device, and the turnout transfer device walks to the position directly below the first pair of crawler legs of the turnout laying device by self-walking. The turnout laying device adjusts the height of the crawler legs again so that the turnout is seated on the heightening tool 9 of the turnout transfer device 15, and the turnout laying device retracts the first pair of crawler legs. The turnout laying device continues to walk forward so that the first pair of crawler legs crosses the obstacle. The first pair of crawler legs of the turnout laying device is lowered to the ground, and all the crawler legs are raised to an appropriate height at the same time, so that the turnout laying device leaves the heightening tool 9 of the turnout transfer device and ensures the smooth passing of the turnout laying device. The two turnout transfer devices 15 are controlled to walk to the positions below the middle two pairs of crawler legs of the turnout laying device by self-walking, and the middle two pairs of crawler legs complete the obstacle avoidance in the same way, and then the last pair of crawler legs completes the obstacle avoidance.

[0091] 3. When the height of the ballast bed is 600 mm, the turnout laying device and the turnout are assisted to avoid obstacles at the same time, as shown in Figure 13

[0092] The turnout laying device 13 stops walking when encountering an obstacle 14, adjusts the crawler legs of the device to an appropriate height (to ensure the smooth passing of the turnout transfer device), and the turnout transfer device 15 walks to the position directly below the first pair of crawler legs of the turnout laying device by self-walking. The turnout laying device adjusts the height of the crawler legs again so that the turnout is seated on the transverse platform 410 of the turnout transfer device 15, and the turnout laying device retracts the first pair of crawler legs. The turnout laying device continues to walk forward so that the first pair of crawler legs crosses the obstacle. The first pair of crawler legs of the turnout laying device is lowered to the ground, and all the crawler legs are raised to an appropriate height at the same time, so that the turnout leaves the transverse platform 410 of the turnout transfer device and ensures the smooth passing of the turnout laying device. The two turnout transfer devices 15 are controlled to walk to the positions below the middle two pairs of crawler legs of the turnout laying device by self-walking, and the middle two pairs of crawler legs complete the obstacle avoidance in the same way, and then the last pair of crawler legs completes the obstacle avoidance.

[0093] 4. When the height of the ballast bed is 600 mm, only the turnout laying device is assisted to avoid obstacles, as shown in Figure 14

[0094] ​​The turnout laying device 13 stops walking when encountering the obstacle 14, adjusts the track legs of the device to a suitable height (ensures the smooth passing of the turnout transfer device), the turnout transfer device 15 walks to the first pair of track legs of the turnout laying device by self walking, the turnout laying device adjusts the height of the track legs again so that the turnout laying device is seated on the transverse moving platform 410 of the turnout transfer device 15, the turnout laying device retracts the first pair of track legs, the turnout laying device continues to walk forward so that the first pair of track legs crosses the obstacle; the first pair of track legs of the turnout laying device is lowered to the ground, and all the track legs are raised to a suitable height at the same time, so that the turnout laying device leaves the transverse moving platform 410 of the turnout transfer device and ensures that the turnout laying device can pass smoothly; the two turnout transfer devices 15 walk to the middle two pairs of track legs of the turnout laying device by self walking, and the middle two pairs of track legs complete obstacle avoidance in the same way, and then the last pair of track legs completes obstacle avoidance.

[0095] The whole device adopts the structure form that the equalizing beam carries the front and rear frames, the load of each wheel in the whole device is more uniform, in the case of unbalanced load, the wheel load is not overweight, so that the steel rail is effectively protected while the work is completed; the whole set of turnout can be transported for a short distance by using the device, and the safety and work efficiency in the turnout transfer process can be significantly improved.
