Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of rail transit vehicles, in particular to a positioning mechanism of a bogie. BACKGROUND
[0002] The bogie, as one of the most important components in the structure of a rail transit vehicle, plays a key role in the operation of the vehicle. Therefore, the inspection and repair of the bogie are very important before the assembly of a new vehicle or in the subsequent maintenance. The common practice for the inspection and repair of the bogie is to manually push the bogie above a pit, then check whether each part of the bogie meets the requirements by manual observation, and after the inspection is completed, manually push the bogie out of the pit and transfer to the next process.
[0003] In recent years, with the progress of the industry and the encouragement of policies, automatic detection equipment is increasingly widely used in the inspection and repair of the bogie. In the past, when the bogie was manually detected, there was no strict requirement for the position of the bogie on the track, and only a stopper was placed at the approximate position of the bogie on the track by manual operation.
[0004] In the existing production environment, the bogie is generally manually pushed on the track. To stop the bogie, it is necessary to manually slow down, place a rubber stopper under the tread of the bogie wheel after reaching the appropriate position, stop the bogie, and then place a stopper behind the wheel to prevent the wheel from retreating, thereby completing the stopping and positioning of the bogie. It is very difficult to manually stop and accurately position the bogie from this process, and the bogie weighs nearly ten tons, making it very laborious to adjust the position.
[0005] However, with the application of automatic equipment, the position of the bogie on the track is repeatedly required, otherwise the equipment needs to increase investment in adaptability of the position, which is not conducive to cost control. Therefore, how to accurately stop the bogie at the same position and not move during detection is worth studying. SUMMARY

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 For the use state of the present application, reference is made to the figure, which includes a bogie running track 5, the track 5 including left and right two, the track 5 is supported by a column 11, the track 5 is installed in the foundation pit.
[0034] Referring to Figure 2 For the installation structure diagram of the present application, a positioning mechanism of a bogie, the positioning mechanism is arranged on both sides of the track 5, and is symmetrically arranged. The positioning mechanism includes a crossbeam 1 located on both sides of the track 5, the crossbeam 1 is a stop mechanism 2 and a positioning clamping mechanism 3 installation base.
[0035] Referring to Figure 3 For the structure diagram of the present application, the crossbeam 1 is provided with a stop mechanism 2 and a positioning clamping mechanism 3.
[0036] Referring to Figure 4 For the crossbeam 1 installation structure diagram of the present application; the crossbeam 1 is supported by a column 11, a connecting plate 12 is welded on the column 11, the connecting plate 12 is connected with a supporting plate 13 through installation bolts, and the supporting plate 13 is connected with the crossbeam 1 through bolts.
[0037] In order to adjust the error of the distance between the columns 11 and the welding deformation error, a strip-shaped hole is arranged on the supporting plate 13, and the strip-shaped hole is connected with the crossbeam 1 through bolts.
[0038] Referring to Figure 5 For the structure diagram of the stop mechanism 2 of the present application; the stop mechanism 2 includes a power mechanism mounting seat 21 and a guide rail mounting seat 22 mounted on the side surface of the crossbeam 1, the power mechanism mounting seat 21 is provided with a first power mechanism 23, the guide rail mounting seat 22 is movably mounted with a jacking plate 24 which can be lifted up and down, in order to facilitate movement, the guide rail mounting seat 22 and the jacking plate 24 are connected through a guide rail 221.
[0039] The top block mounting seat 25 is arranged on the guide rail mounting seat 22 and is hinged to the middle part of the rotary top block 26. In order to facilitate rotation, a rotating bearing 29 can be arranged at the hinge position. In addition, the hinge position can be designed to be eccentric, so that the swing angle is larger. The upper end of the rotary top block 26 is in contact with the jacking plate 24. In order to make the contact more smooth, the upper end of the rotary top block 26 is provided with a jacking bearing 28, which is installed at the long arm end of the rotary top block 26. The lower end of the rotary top block 26 is hinged to the first power mechanism 23. The jacking plate 24 is connected with the blocking block 27. The position where the blocking block 27 contacts with the wheel set of the bogie is wedge-shaped 271. The blocking block 27 is made of plastic material. Preferably, 90-degree polyurethane is used. This design can effectively avoid damage to the wheel set of the bogie when the wheel set is blocked. On the other hand, the hardness is relatively high, so that the elastic deformation of the wheel set of the bogie after contact is avoided. The first power mechanism of the blocking mechanism 2 is a gas cylinder. The pneumatic rod 231 of the gas cylinder is hinged to the lower end of the rotary top block 26.
[0040] When the gas cylinder pushes the pneumatic rod 231 to elongate, the pneumatic rod 231 pushes the rotary top block 26 to rotate. Thus, the extension and retraction action of the gas cylinder is converted into the swing action of the rotary top block 26. When swinging, the jacking bearing 28 can drive the jacking plate 24 to move up and down. The guide rail 221 can ensure the stability and precision of the movement. When the blocking block 27 blocks the wheel set of the bogie, the wheel set generates pressure and impact force on the blocking block 27. The force is transmitted to the jacking plate 24 and the jacking bearing 28 in turn, and finally is borne by the rotating bearing 29.
[0041] The initial position of the blocking mechanism 2 is raised. At this time, the blocking block 27 can block the wheel set of the bogie. When the signal is sent to release, the mechanism acts, and the blocking block 27 is lowered below the track 5. The bogie can pass normally.
[0042] Referring to Figure 6 The positioning and clamping mechanism 3 is a structural schematic view of the present application. The positioning and clamping mechanism 3 includes a guide rail seat 31 mounted on the upper surface of the cross beam 1. The guide rail seat 31 is provided with a retractable plate 32 which can move left and right. In order to facilitate movement, the guide rail seat 31 and the retractable plate 32 are connected through a sliding rail 311. The front end of the retractable plate 32 is provided with a pressing block 34 which is made of plastic material. Preferably, 90-degree polyurethane is used, which can avoid damage when pressing the wheel set of the bogie. The retractable plate 32 is pushed by the second power mechanism 33. The second power mechanism is a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is connected with the retractable plate 32.
[0043] The cross beam 1 is provided with a sensor 4 for sensing the position of the wheel set of the bogie. The sensor 4 is connected with the second power mechanism 33. The sensor 4 can be an optical sensor.
[0044] When the photoelectric sensor detects that the bogie wheel contacts the blocking block 27, a signal is sent to the second power mechanism 33, the second power mechanism 33 pushes the telescopic plate 32 to start the clamping action, preventing the bogie from rebounding.
[0045] The stopping mechanism 2 of the present application mainly prevents the bogie wheel from advancing by the blocking block 27, the blocking block 27 is raised to block the bogie when needed, and is lowered to release the bogie when not needed; under the detection of the sensor 4, the positioning and clamping mechanism 3 drives the telescopic plate 32 to press against the side of the bogie wheel by the air cylinder, so that after stopping the bogie, the telescopic plate 32 prevents the bogie from retreating, realizing the positioning function. The present application can realize accurate positioning of the bogie without manual intervention, and provides a good foundation for automatic detection of subsequent equipment.
[0046] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present application in detail. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes without creative labor according to the concept of the present application. Therefore, any technical solution obtained by logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiment on the basis of the prior art according to the concept of the present application shall be within the protection scope defined by the claims.
