Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rail vehicle body manufacturing technology, and relates to a general equipment for welding DRT digital rail vehicle bodies. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for multi-track trains, their models are constantly being updated and upgraded, from the early T1 line to the current T2 and T6 lines. Along with this, the car body frame is also being updated and optimized. The car body frame is the main load-bearing component of the vehicle, not only housing the exterior and interior trim and glass, but also connecting the bogie frame. Various parameters of the car body frame will affect the subsequent assembly of electrical components. The car body frame includes several major components: the roof assembly, side wall assembly, end wall assembly, underframe assembly, and driver's cab assembly. Therefore, the design and development of welding fixtures for the vehicle body is to rationally control the car body dimensions to meet design requirements, improve the quality of mass production, and ensure that different models can share the same components. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a universal welding equipment for DRT digital rail vehicle bodies. It utilizes the bogie interface for underframe positioning, using the underframe as a reference, and then sequentially positions the side walls, end walls, and roof using tooling to ensure the flatness of the side walls, the verticality of the end walls, and the height of the roof. Furthermore, the tooling allows for rapid switching of positioning references for different vehicle models, enabling alternating production of intermediate and lead cars. Both lead and intermediate cars from lines T1 to T6 are produced using this equipment, and future projects can also utilize it, significantly reducing costs and achieving "multi-purpose functionality." This invention demonstrates its extremely high versatility.

[0006] The elevated platform includes a platform, a support beam, and a staircase. The support beam is located below the platform to support it.
[0007] The side wall limiting seat and the roof limiting seat are located on the climbing ladder platform and are used to position and fix the side wall and roof of the vehicle body;
[0008] The platform is equipped with a ground track below it, and an adjustable beam with movable position is vertically installed on the ground track.

The upper surface of the adjustable beam is provided with a T-slot, which facilitates the movement of the support seat, air spring positioning seat, or high floor area air spring positioning seat installed on the adjustable beam.
[0010] Furthermore, the structure for positioning the intermediate vehicle chassis also includes a pressure plate, an auxiliary support, and a leveling pad, which together form the first and second ends of the structure for positioning the intermediate vehicle chassis.
[0011] One end: The adjustable beam has pressure plates at both ends to press the base frame; the outermost adjustable beam is provided with auxiliary support and equal height pads; the second outermost adjustable beam is provided with support seat and air spring positioning seat;

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the climbing platform 1 includes a staircase 11, a support beam 12, a platform 13, and a guardrail 14. The staircase 11 is located at one end of the climbing platform 1, and the upper end of the staircase 11 is connected to the platform 13. The support beam 12 is erected on the factory floor by expansion bolts and is used to support the platform 13. The platform 13 is connected and fixed to the support beam 12 by bolts. The guardrail 14 is set on the side of the platform 13 and is connected and fixed to the side of the platform 13 by bolts. When the equipment needs to be dismantled or moved to another location, the guardrail 14 can be disassembled into smaller parts for easy transportation.
[0046] When assembling the side wall assembly and the roof assembly, two roof limiting seats 3 and four side wall limiting seats 2 are required. The two roof limiting seats 3 and the four side wall limiting seats 2 are symmetrically fixed on the platform 13.
[0047] Specifically, the side wall limiting seat 2 includes a support column, a side wall tightening device 21, an upper limit support 22, and a side wall telescopic beam 23. The support column is fixed on the platform 13 on both sides. The side wall telescopic beam 23 is vertically installed at the upper end of the support column. The upper part of the front end of the side wall telescopic beam 23 is provided with a side wall tightening device 21, which can tighten the side wall. The front end of the side wall telescopic beam 23 is provided with an upper limit support 22, which can provide positioning support for the upper and lower openings of the side wall.
[0048] When assembling the side wall, the upper and lower openings of the side wall are positioned by the upper limit support 22 of the side wall limiting seat 2 to ensure the height of the side wall. The side wall is tightened by the side wall clamping device 21 to ensure the flatness, verticality and vehicle width of the same side wall.
[0049] The roof limiting seat 3 includes a support column, a roof telescopic beam 31, and a limiting and tightening device 32. The support column is fixed on the platform 13 on both sides. The roof telescopic beam 31 is vertically installed at the upper end of the support column. The front end of the roof telescopic beam 31 is provided with a limiting and tightening device 32 to tighten the end of the roof.
[0050] When assembling the roof, the first and second sides of the roof only need to be flush with the side wall, and the ends of the roof can be positioned and tightened in the length direction using the roof limit seat 3.
[0051] Below the climbing platform 1, there are two parallel ground tracks 4. Multiple adjustable beams 5 are vertically mounted on the two ground tracks 4, and each adjustable beam 5 can be moved freely on the ground track 4. Two grooves are provided on the lower surface of the adjustable beam 5 and corresponding to the positions of the two ground tracks 4. The grooves match the upper surface of the ground track 4, so that the adjustable beam 5 can move on the ground track 4.
[0052] Moreover, such as Figure 8 As shown, the upper surface of the adjustable beam 5 is provided with a T-shaped groove, so the positioning seat, support seat 10 and other structures installed on the upper surface of the adjustable beam 5 can be moved or replaced at will.
[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the intermediate chassis positioning fixture includes a first position end and a second position end. Figure 6 The left side is a one-digit terminal, and the right side is a two-digit terminal.
[0054] One end of the intermediate car chassis positioning fixture includes the aforementioned ground track 4 and adjustable beam 5, as well as a spring-loaded positioning seat 6, support seat 10, pressure plate 8, auxiliary support 11, and leveling pad 12 mounted on the adjustable beam 5; wherein, pressure plates 8 are provided at both ends of the adjustable beam 5. Figure 6 Two adjustable beams 5 (without pressure plate 8) starting from the left end and one adjustable beam 5 on the rightmost side are used to tighten the base frame. The outermost adjustable beam 5 is equipped with an auxiliary support 11 and a leveling block 12. Next to the outermost adjustable beam 5 are a support seat 10 and a spring-loaded positioning seat 6. The structure of the spring-loaded positioning seat 6 is as follows... Figure 11 As shown.
[0055] The second-position end of the intermediate car underframe positioning fixture has the same function and similar structure as the first-position end component mentioned above, differing only in the location of the support seat 10 and the air spring positioning seat 6. See details... Figure 6 As shown, it will not be elaborated further here.
[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, the positioning fixture for the headcar underframe includes a high-floor area and a low-floor area, wherein... Figure 7 The left side is the high floor area, and the right side is the low floor area.
[0057] The high-floor area of the headcar underframe positioning fixture includes the aforementioned ground track 4 and adjustable beam 5, as well as a high-floor area air spring positioning seat 7, pressure plate 8, tie rod 9, auxiliary support 11, front end beam support seat 13, and clamping block 14, all mounted on the adjustable beam 5. Pressure plates 8 are located at both ends of the adjustable beam 5. Figure 7 The four adjustable beams 5 from the left end and the rightmost adjustable beam 5 (without pressure plate 8) are used to tighten the base frame. Figure 7 The leftmost adjustable beam 5 is equipped with a front end beam support 13 and a clamping block 14. The three adjustable beams 5 next to the outermost ones are equipped with high-floor area air spring positioning seats 7, tie rods 9, and auxiliary supports 11. The structure of the high-floor area air spring positioning seat 7 is as follows: Figure 12 As shown.
[0058] The low floor area of the positioning fixture for the lead car underframe is the same as the two ends of the positioning fixture for the intermediate car underframe described above, so it will not be described again here.
[0059] The positioning fixtures for the intermediate car and the lead car chassis can be switched quickly and accurately. Simply replace the spring-loaded positioning seat 6 and support seat 10 at one end of the intermediate car with the spring-loaded positioning seat 7 in the high-floor area of the lead car. The change can be accomplished by moving the adjustable beam 5. Figure 6 The three adjustable beams 5 on the left end and their air spring positioning seats 6 and support seats 10 on top of them need to be replaced; mainly... Figure 7 (Replace the four adjustable beams 5 at the left end and the high floor area air spring positioning seat 7 above them). After all positioning adjustments are completed, place the base frame into the fixture and tighten the pressure plates 8 at each position to complete the positioning.
[0060] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or other means fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
