[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a braking mechanism, including a braking steel cable 10, a braking chain 20, and a connecting mechanism 30. One end of the braking steel cable 10 is connected to a bevel gear handbrake device; one end of the braking chain 20 is connected to a bogie braking lever; the connecting mechanism 30 includes a connecting shaft 310 and a mounting bracket 320. One side of the mounting bracket 320 is connected to a cross beam 40. A chute 3210 is provided on the mounting bracket 320. The connecting shaft 310 passes through the chute 3210 and is slidably matched with the mounting bracket 320. The other end of the braking steel cable 10 is connected to the connecting shaft 310. The other end of the braking chain 20 is respectively sleeved on the connecting shaft 310. The braking steel cable 10 is adapted to pull the connecting shaft 310 to slide along the chute 3210 and drive the braking chain 20 to provide braking force.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , by using the connecting mechanism 30 to connect with the braking steel cable 10 and the braking chain 20, the requirement for connecting the bevel gear handbrake device and the bogie braking lever is realized, and thus the requirement for retrofitting of rail vehicles is met. Moreover, the connecting mechanism 30 is detachably connected to both the braking steel cable 10 and the braking chain 20, so it is convenient for disassembly and assembly. While meeting the connection strength, the difficulty of retrofitting rail vehicles is reduced.

[0046] By adopting the setting of the connecting shaft 310, the braking steel cable 10 and the braking chain 20 are in rolling fit with each other, greatly reducing the frictional loss between the braking steel cable 10, the braking chain 20 and the connecting shaft 310, and ensuring the service life of the braking steel cable 10, the braking chain 20 and the connecting shaft 310.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the mounting frame 320 includes a first plate body 3220 and a second plate body 3230 that are arranged opposite to each other, and a slide groove 3210 is provided on the first plate body 3220 and the second plate body 3230, and the opposite ends of the connecting shaft 310 are respectively inserted into the slide groove 3210 of the first plate body 3220 and the slide groove 3210 on the second plate body 3230.

[0048] The first plate 3220 and the second plate 3230 are arranged at intervals to provide installation space for installing the brake cable 10 and the brake chain 20, and the length extension direction of the chute 3210 on the first plate 3220 and the second plate 3230 is consistent with the axial direction of the brake cable 10 and the brake chain 20. During the braking process, the brake cable 10 applies force to the connecting shaft 310, and the connecting shaft 310 slides along the chute 3210, thereby driving the brake chain 20 to move along the length extension direction of the chute 3210, thereby providing a braking force for the brake lever of the bogie. It should be noted that the distance in the length extension direction of the chute 3210 is equal to the movable stroke of the brake chain 20. When not braking, the brake chain 20 is in a free state, and the connecting shaft 310 is located at one end of the chute 3210 close to the brake chain 20. When in a braking state, the connecting shaft 310 moves to one end of the chute 3210 close to the brake cable 10.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 Specifically, the connecting shaft 310 includes an axis core 3110 and pulleys 3120 disposed on opposite sides of the axis core 3110; the opposite ends of the axis core 3110 are respectively passed through the first plate body 3220 and the second plate body 3230, and the opposite ends of the axis core 3110 extend to the outside of the first plate body 3220 and the second plate body 3230 respectively, and a pulley 3120 is respectively provided on one side of the first plate body 3220 and the second plate body 3230 away from each other.

[0050] The pulley 3120 is used to limit the axial movement of the connecting shaft 310, so that when the connecting shaft 310 slides along the slide groove 3210, the sliding states of the two opposite ends of the connecting shaft 310 remain consistent. That is, the two opposite ends of the connecting shaft 310 slide synchronously along the slide groove 3210 to ensure the stability of the transmission of the braking force.

[0051] In one embodiment, the pulley 3120 is threadedly connected to the shaft core 3110.

[0052] That is, an external thread is provided on the outer side of the shaft core 3110, a groove is formed on the pulley 3120 for mating with the shaft core 3110, and an internal thread adapted to the external thread on the outer side of the shaft core 3110 is provided in the groove of the pulley 3120 to meet the connection between the connecting shaft 310 and the first plate body 3220 or the second plate body 3230. After the pulley 3120 is installed, the connecting shaft 310 can move along the length direction of the sliding groove 3210, but the connecting shaft 310 is restricted by the pulley 3120 and does not move axially by itself.

[0053] In another embodiment, a split pin 3130 is further passed through the connecting shaft 310 on the side of the pulley 3120 away from the first plate body 3220 or the second plate body 3230; the split pin 3130 is passed through the shaft core 3110.

[0054] Hole positions for the split pin 3130 to pass through are respectively formed at opposite ends of the shaft core 3110. After the shaft core 3110 is respectively passed through the first plate body 3220 and the second plate body 3230, a pulley 3120 can be installed on the outer sides of the first plate body 3220 and the second plate body 3230 respectively. Meanwhile, the split pin 3130 is passed through the side of the pulley 3120 away from the first plate body 3220 or the second plate body 3230, thus preventing the pulley 3120 from falling off the shaft core 3110.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, a fitting 110 is provided at one end of the brake cable 10. A clamping groove 120 is formed on the fitting 110, and a mounting hole 130 communicating with the clamping groove 120 is further formed on the fitting 110. The connecting shaft 310 is sequentially passed through the mounting hole 130 and the clamping groove 120 to be connected with the fitting 110; one end of the brake chain 20 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 310 and clamped in the clamping groove 120.

[0056] The provision of the clamping groove 120 facilitates the limitation of one end of the brake chain 20, avoiding the situation that when the brake cable 10 applies force to the connecting shaft 310, the brake chain 20 shakes along the connecting shaft 310, resulting in uneven force application.

[0057] Specifically, the fitting 110 includes a bottom plate 1110, a first limiting plate 1120 and a second limiting plate 1130 which are connected to the bottom plate 1110 and arranged oppositely. The bottom plate 1110, the first limiting plate 1120 and the second limiting plate 1130 enclose to form the clamping groove 120; mounting holes 130 are respectively formed on the first limiting plate 1120 and the second limiting plate 1130, and the connecting shaft 310 is respectively passed through the mounting holes 130 on the first limiting plate 1120 and the second limiting plate 1130 to be connected with the fitting 110.

[0058] The first limiting plate 1120 and the second limiting plate 1130 are used to clamp the braking chain 20. In this way, when the braking cable 10 applies a force to the connecting shaft 310, the force can be directly applied to the braking chain 20, improving the force transmission efficiency and making the force transmission basically in a straight line. If the installation position of the braking chain 20 is not limited, the force will be too dispersed and will cause additional pressure on the first plate body 3220 and the second plate body 3230.

[0059] In one embodiment, an installation plate 140 is further provided on the braking cable 10; the installation plate 140 is connected to a braking cable mounting bracket 410 provided on the cross beam 40 through a threaded connector.

[0060] The installation plate 140 can be square and is provided with at least one first through hole. The braking cable mounting bracket 410 is provided with at least one second through hole corresponding to the first through hole. By sequentially passing the threaded connector through the first through hole and the second through hole, the braking cable 10 can be connected to the cross beam 40, making the cross beam 40 a mechanism for supporting and suspending the braking cable 10, improving the installation stability of the braking cable 10.

[0061] The present invention also provides a rail vehicle, including a bevel gear hand brake device, a bogie brake lever, and the above-mentioned braking mechanism. The braking mechanism is respectively connected to the bevel gear hand brake device and the bogie brake lever. With this setting, the braking mechanism can directly connect the bevel gear hand brake device and the bogie brake lever, and the disassembly and assembly between the braking mechanism and the bevel gear hand brake device and the bogie brake lever are convenient, which is beneficial to improving the modification efficiency of the rail vehicle.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 , further, the rail vehicle further includes a bogie. The bogie includes a cross beam 40. A braking cable mounting bracket 410 is provided on the cross beam 40, and the braking cable 10 is connected to the braking cable mounting bracket 410.

[0063] Specifically, the braking cable 10 is connected to the braking cable mounting bracket 410 through at least one threaded connector, which is beneficial to the disassembly and assembly of the braking cable.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
