Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traction locomotive equipment, and in particular to a vibration damping device for a tunnel traction locomotive. Background Art
[0002] Tunnel traction locomotives are generally used in tunnel construction and mine mining. They usually run on tracks and transport minerals, building materials, waste, etc. by pulling freight cars. Due to the influence of geographical environment and construction conditions, the tunnels where tunnel traction locomotives operate are usually rugged, especially mine tunnels, which are narrower and steeper than ordinary tunnels. During transportation, the hard steel wheels of traditional locomotives are in rigid contact with the rails and cannot perform elastic vibration reduction like car tires. Although this can be improved by installing shock absorbers, it is still bumpy during actual operation, which can easily cause the load to fall, and the locomotive parts to loosen, fall off, and be damaged. In severe cases, it may even cause overturning and cause danger. A safer, more effective and easy-to-maintain vibration reduction device is needed to solve the above problems.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a vibration reduction device for a tunnel traction locomotive includes an axle 1, and the external splines 101 of the shaft body at both ends of the axle 1 are connected in series with the internal splines 202 in the center of the wheel core 2. The shaft body limiting ring 102 of the axle 1 is connected to the back of the wheel core 2 by bolts. The outer ring surface of the wheel core 2 is evenly distributed with eight threaded holes 201, and the threaded holes 201 are threadedly connected to one end of a top column 3. The column body of the top column 3 is provided with an external hexagon, and the other end of the top column 3 is inserted into the limiting hole 401 on the inner ring surface of the wheel ring 4. The outer ring surface of the wheel core 2 and the inner ring surface of the wheel ring 4 are provided with matching notches. The notches and the top column 3 are evenly spaced, and spring blocks 5 are inserted into the matching notches.
[0022] In this embodiment, the front of the spring block 5 is covered by an outer retaining ring 15, which is bolted to the front of the wheel core 2; the back of the spring block 5 is covered by an inner retaining ring 14, which is bolted to the back of the wheel ring 4. The gap between the outer retaining ring 15 and the side of the wheel ring 4, as well as the gap between the inner retaining ring 14 and the limiting ring 102, are both smaller than the maximum radial deformation of the spring block 5. When the top post 3 is screwed to the lower dead center of the threaded hole 201 through the outer hexagon, the distance from the top of the top post 3 to the center of the wheel core 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the wheel ring 4, making it easier to remove; when the top post 3 is screwed to the upper dead center of the threaded hole 201, the top post 3 radially presses against the wheel ring 4. At this time, the distance between the wheel core 2 and the wheel ring 4 matches the radial thickness of the spring block 5, making it easier to replace the spring block 5.
[0023] In this embodiment, the end of the axle 1 is rotatably connected to the buffer mechanism (see Figures 1 to 2 ), the buffer mechanism is installed on the side wall of the vehicle body 6, the buffer mechanism includes a bearing hinge 7, the end of the axle 1 is inserted into the inner sleeve of the bearing hinge 7, the end screw hole of the axle 1 is threadedly connected to the screw on the back of the shaft cover 8, the back of the shaft cover 8 is against the outside of the inner sleeve of the axle 1, the top hinge of the bearing hinge 7 is laterally hinged to the output end of the buffer cylinder 9, the end of the cylinder body of the buffer cylinder 9 is laterally hinged to the bottom of the slider 10, the slider 10 is slidably connected to the side groove 602 of the vehicle body 6, the inner side of the slider 10 is connected to the output end of the side thrust cylinder 11, the side thrust cylinder 11 is built into the side wall of the vehicle body 6, and the side thrust cylinder 11 can change the inclination angle of the buffer cylinder 9 by pushing the slider 10, thereby adjusting the buffer effect.
[0024] In this embodiment, the body of the axle 1 is located in the shaft cavity 601 at the bottom of the vehicle body 6. The shaft seat mechanisms at both ends of the shaft cavity 601 are rotatably connected to the axle 1. The shaft seat mechanism includes an elastic seat plate 12, which is installed in the slots at the openings at both ends of the shaft cavity 601. A bearing 13 is embedded in the elastic seat plate 12. The bearing 13 and the shaft cavity 601 share a central axis, and the bearing 13 is rotatably connected to the axle 1. A support rod mechanism is provided in the vehicle body 6. The support rod mechanism includes a support seat 16, which is slidably connected to the vertical slot 603 above the shaft cavity 601. The arc surface at the bottom of the support seat 16 cooperates with the body of the axle 1. A threaded through hole on the bottom surface of the vehicle body 6 connects to the top of the vertical slot 603. A threaded shaft 17 is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole. The bottom end of the threaded shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the top of the support seat 16. A turntable 1701 is provided at the top of the threaded shaft 17. When the threaded shafts 17 on both sides are screwed downward until the arc surface of the support seat 16 contacts the axle 1, the axle 1 is supported and limited by the support seat 16. At this time, the buffer mechanism fails and can be disassembled for maintenance.
[0025] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0026] When the locomotive is in operation, the support seat 16 is ensured to be at the top dead center position, without supporting or limiting the axle 1. The side thrust cylinder 11 adjusts the buffer cylinder 9 to the appropriate inclination angle. At this point, the axle 1 and the hinged buffer cylinder 9 form a quadrilateral structure. The elastic seat plate 12 ensures a certain degree of twisting of the axle 1 within the shaft cavity 601, allowing the entire device to reduce vibration of the vehicle body 6 through structural deformation. Simultaneously, the elastic block 5 between the wheel core 2 and the wheel ring 4 acts similarly to a car tire, further reducing vibration of the vehicle body 6. When the elastic block 5 is flattened to a certain extent, the top post 3 assists the elastic block 5 in supporting the wheel ring 4 (the inner retaining ring 14 and the outer retaining ring 15 also provide auxiliary support). This allows the maximum deformation of the elastic block 5 to be limited by adjusting the protrusion of the top post 3, ensuring that it is within the elastic limit of the elastic block 5. Furthermore, the top post 3 also drives the wheel ring 4 to rotate with the wheel core 2, acting as a spoke.
[0027] When the device needs to be disassembled for maintenance, rotate the turntable 1701 so that the threaded shafts 17 on both sides are screwed down until the arc surface of the support seat 16 contacts the axle 1. At this time, the axle 1 is supported and limited by the support seat 16, and the buffer mechanism fails. Use a jack to jack up the side of the vehicle body 6 that needs maintenance to reduce the pressure between the wheel ring 4 on this side and the track, remove the axle cover 8, and pull the bearing hinge 7 out of the axle 1 with the assistance of the side push cylinder 11, remove the outer retaining ring 15, rotate the upper half circle of the top column 3 to the top dead center position, and rotate the lower half circle to the bottom dead center position, replace the spring block 5 in the upper half circle, and then reverse the operation to replace the spring block 5 in the lower half circle, and reinstall the outer retaining ring 15, the bearing hinge 7 and the axle cover 8 in turn to complete the maintenance on this side.
[0028] The present invention elastically suspends the axle 1 through the cooperation of the axle seat mechanism and the buffer mechanism to provide buffering for the locomotive. The elastic block 5 between the wheel core 2 and the wheel ring 4 can further improve the vibration reduction effect, and the deformation of the elastic block 5 can be controlled by the top column 3. It has the characteristics of safety, adjustment and easy disassembly and assembly.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
