Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tippler testing, and more specifically, to a tippler railway freight car pressure testing device and testing method with a fixed structure. Background Technology

[0002] A tippler is a large mechanical device used to unload bulk materials from open railway wagons. It is a loading and unloading machine that can tilt or tilt rail vehicles to unload materials. It is suitable for ports with high transport volumes and industrial sectors such as metallurgy, coal, and thermal power. During use, the tippler suffers from problems due to the narrow size of the pressure beam, resulting in a small contact area with the upper side beam of the vehicle. Combined with the rapid descent of the vehicle towards the pressure beam, the impact force is large, causing deformation and damage to the upper side beam. Existing pressure force detection structures receive the impact force of the vehicle approaching the pressure beam through pressure sensors, typically bolted to one side of the upper side beam. However, because pressure sensors are susceptible to environmental influences, they require frequent maintenance, involving disassembly or installation with a screwdriver, which is cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the susceptibility of pressure sensors to environmental influences, which necessitates frequent maintenance and cumbersome disassembly or installation using screwdrivers. This invention provides a railway freight car pressure detection device with a fixed structure for tippers, thus solving the above-mentioned deficiencies and facilitating its use.

A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the middle end of the insert plate, and one end of the threaded rod is movably installed on one side of the push plate. Rotating the limiting groove causes the push plate to move inside the inner groove.

[0014] S1. Insert the test piece into the inside of the placement frame. Rubber blocks on both sides inside the placement frame clamp and limit the test piece. Push the placement frame into the inside of the inner groove, and the test piece moves into the inside of the inner groove.

[0015] S2, the upward docking mechanism and the placement mechanism, the platform-shaped strip is inserted into the inside of the mounting slot, and the pressing mounting block is moved into the inside of the displacement limiting groove;

[0016] S3. The position of the docking mechanism and the placement mechanism is fixed by inserting a compression spring into the limiting groove.
