Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of railway ballast hopper cars, and more particularly to a safety passing device between adjacent car operating rooms and a railway ballast hopper car. BACKGROUND

[0002] The railway ballast hopper car is mainly used for laying ballast on a newly built ballast railway line or for ballast supplementing operation during maintenance of an existing railway line. When the vehicle arrives at the ballast unloading site, an operator needs to open and close the bottom door in the vehicle operating room by a pneumatic or manual device to complete the ballast unloading work. The vehicles are connected by automatic couplers. Since the railway ballast hopper car can unload ballast at a fixed point or at a low speed of 8-10Km / h while moving, there are the following problems when there is no safety passing device between two adjacent vehicles.

[0003] (1) When there is no safety passing device between vehicles, an unloading operator needs to be arranged in each ballast hopper car operating room before the vehicle runs. The longer the vehicle consists, the more operators need to be arranged, and the higher the labor cost is. This does not conform to the enterprise culture of reducing labor and increasing efficiency.

[0004] (2) When there is no safety passing device between vehicles, the operating rooms of two adjacent ballast hopper cars are connected. During the fixed-point ballast unloading operation, the operator needs to unload the ballast of one of the two cars and then go to the adjacent car to unload the ballast. Since the vehicles cannot pass directly, the operator needs to get off the vehicle and walk along the track to the adjacent vehicle, step on the footboard of the adjacent vehicle, open the side door, and enter the operating room of the adjacent vehicle to unload the ballast. The back-and-forth getting on and off the vehicle increases the labor intensity of the operator, reduces the unloading efficiency, and increases the risk of falling. Especially in wet weather or winter, it is easy to slip and cause accidents such as bumps, falls, and other safety hazards.

[0005] (3) When the vehicle is at a fixed point for unloading ballast, one person can be responsible for the unloading of two hopper cars under the premise of having a person assisting to ensure safety. However, when the vehicle is moving at a low speed of 8-10Km / h while unloading, the operator is strictly prohibited from getting on and off the vehicle to avoid safety accidents. When only one person is arranged to unload the ballast of two adjacent vehicles, the ballast of the adjacent vehicle cannot be unloaded due to the lack of a direct passing device between the vehicles, which seriously affects the normal ballast laying or supplementing operation of the entire train.

[0006] (4) When the upper transmission device, pneumatic system, and other equipment in the train operating room are maintained daily, the operator needs to get off the vehicle after checking and maintaining the operating room of one of the ballast hopper cars and then enter the operating room of the adjacent vehicle to unload the ballast. This seriously reduces the maintenance efficiency between the vehicles. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application aims at solving the problem that adjacent vehicles cannot be directly and safely connected and passed through in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a safe passing device between adjacent vehicle operation rooms, comprising:

[0009] a plate body;

[0010] two vertical plates, respectively arranged at both ends of one side of the plate body, one end of the vertical plate exposed to the plate body, and the upper end of the one end of the vertical plate rotatably connected with an end beam;

[0011] a limiting rod arranged at the lower end of the one end of the vertical plate for supporting the plate body to keep a horizontal state.

[0012] Optionally, it further comprises a fixed folding seat, the end beam upper end exposed to the end beam, the fixed end of the fixed folding seat connected with the end beam, and the hinged end of the fixed folding seat exposed to the vehicle body and connected with the vertical plate.

[0013] Optionally, the two vertical plates are respectively located at both sides of a vehicle coupler.

[0014] Optionally, the rotation angle of the plate body is 0-100 degrees.

[0015] Optionally, the upper end surface of the plate body is provided with anti-skid lines.

[0016] Optionally, the end of the plate body away from the end beam is close to the connecting part of the vehicle coupler.

[0017] Optionally, the cross section of the vertical plate is a right-angled triangle.

[0018] Optionally, a reinforcing angle iron is arranged between the adjacent side of the two vertical plates and the plate body, and the reinforcing angle iron is close to the fixed folding seat.

[0019] The present application further provides a railway ballast hopper car, comprising:

[0020] the safe passing device between adjacent vehicle operation rooms described above.

[0021] Optionally, it further comprises:

[0022] two handrails, symmetrically arranged at both sides of the vehicle door, and the end of the handrail away from the vehicle door flush with the end of the plate body away from the vehicle door.

[0023] The present application provides a safe passing device between adjacent vehicle operation rooms, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The safety passing device between adjacent car operating rooms is provided with a turnable plate body connecting adjacent cars, when the ballast hopper car is positioned for unloading, the adjacent car is unloaded directly through the safety passing device into the operating room of the adjacent car, thereby reducing the labor intensity, and avoiding the risk of personnel bumping and falling caused by going up and down the car without the safety passing device; meanwhile, when the train is unloading while walking, since the up and down operation is strictly prohibited, the unloading personnel can smoothly pass through the safety passing device to go back and forth between the operating rooms of the adjacent two cars to carry out normal unloading operation, and the normal ballast paving or ballast supplement operation of the train is not affected.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figures 2-4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a railway ballast hopper car, comprising:

[0054] The aforementioned safety passage device between adjacent vehicle control cabs.

[0055] Specifically, the safety passage device between adjacent vehicle cabs is installed on the side of adjacent vehicle sections that are close to each other. When in use, the plate 1 of the safety passage device between the two adjacent vehicle cabs is laid flat and used. After use, the plate 1 is stored vertically.
