Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of rail transit crash energy absorption technology, and particularly relates to an array type rail vehicle energy absorption anti-climbing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a public transport tool, the passive safety of a rail vehicle in a crash has always been the focus of attention. In recent years, with the vigorous development of rail transit technology, the running speed of rail vehicles is increasing, and the safety of personnel and goods is facing greater threats. Therefore, under complex and high-speed crash conditions, it is urgent to further study the passive safety of rail vehicles.

[0003] In order to reduce the harm of rail vehicle crash accidents, an energy absorption structure is usually installed in the deformable area at the end of the vehicle to consume the impact kinetic energy when the rail vehicle crashes. A good energy absorption structure needs to meet the requirements of high energy absorption efficiency, controllable deformation, light weight and low peak load. Traditional energy absorption structures are various, but they generally have problems such as large residual deformation, low effective deformation stroke ratio, and limited structure energy absorption capacity. In addition, it is difficult for traditional energy absorption structures to simultaneously consider high cushioning capacity (low initial stiffness) and high energy absorption (high structural stiffness).

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to design a crash energy absorption device with low trigger peak force, high energy absorption efficiency and stable and controllable deformation for the study of the passive safety of rail vehicles. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an array type rail vehicle energy absorption anti-climbing device that is stable and reliable and has good energy absorption effect.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An array type rail vehicle energy absorption anti-climbing device, comprising an anti-climbing plate, a plurality of main guide rods, a plurality of auxiliary guide rods, a base and a mounting seat, the base is provided with a plurality of main cutting holes and auxiliary cutting holes matched in number and diameter, the main guide rods and the auxiliary guide rods are fixed at one end of the anti-climbing plate and embedded at the other end in the main cutting holes and the auxiliary cutting holes respectively, a plurality of main cutting rings and auxiliary cutting rings are respectively arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main guide rods and the auxiliary guide rods, the main guide rods are provided as hollow pipes, the hollow pipes are provided with inner cutting rings and embedded with inner cutting knives, and the inner cutting knives are provided with supports fixed on the rail vehicle frame.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solutions:

[0009] The inner cutting knife is provided as a circular cutting knife.

[0010] The auxiliary cutting ring is arranged in an axial direction staggered with the main cutting ring, and the pipe cutting ring is arranged in an axial direction staggered with the main cutting ring.

[0011] The base is made of cemented carbide.

[0012] Each of the supports is coupled as a whole.

[0013] The anti-climbing plate and the base are filled with foaming material and are closed by an outer shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0015] The arrayed rail vehicle energy-absorbing anti-climbing device of the present application, when a rail vehicle collision occurs, the anti-climbing plates on the two vehicles first contact each other, and through the anti-climbing teeth, they are engaged with each other to play an anti-climbing role. Subsequently, under the action of horizontal impact force, the main cutting ring and the auxiliary cutting ring on the main guide rod and the auxiliary guide rod are cut by the main cutting hole and the auxiliary cutting hole, respectively, and at the same time, the pipe cutting knife cuts the pipe cutting ring inside the main guide rod, so as to dissipate the impact kinetic energy of the rail vehicle. In this structure, the main cutting ring on the main guide rod serves as the main energy-absorbing component, and the auxiliary cutting ring on each auxiliary guide rod serves as the auxiliary energy-absorbing component, and the energy absorption is complementary. Through this multi-rod combined cutting energy-absorbing and the combination of internal and external cutting energy-absorbing of the main guide rod, the cutting surface is greatly increased, the initial buffering capacity of the overall structure during impact is improved, and the subsequent energy-absorbing buffering effect is greatly improved. During the cutting process, the main guide rod and the auxiliary guide rod play a guiding role, and at the same time of guiding the cutting energy-absorbing, a certain supporting force is provided. Further, the support arranged inside the main guide rod makes the guidance of the main guide rod more stable, ensuring the stability and reliability of the cutting energy-absorbing process. Further, through different arrayed design of the combination of the main guide rod and the auxiliary guide rod, the demand of different impact levels can be met, and the application range is wide and the designability is strong.

The base 4 is provided with the main guide rod 2, the auxiliary guide rod 3, a plurality of main cutting holes 41 and auxiliary cutting holes 42 with matched number and diameter. The main guide rod 2 and the auxiliary guide rod 3 are fixed at one end of the anti-climbing plate 1 and embedded in the main cutting hole 41 and the auxiliary cutting hole 42 at the other end, respectively. The main guide rod 2 and the auxiliary guide rod 3 are provided with a plurality of main cutting rings 21 and auxiliary cutting rings 31, respectively, which are arranged along the length direction at intervals. The main guide rod 2 is provided as a hollow pipe, which is provided with an inner cutting ring 22 and an inner cutting tool 6. The inner cutting tool 6 is provided with a bracket 7 fixed on the rail vehicle framework. The base 4 and the mounting seat 5 of the energy-absorbing anti-climbing device are fixed by bolts, and the mounting seat 5 is also bolted on the air-tight partition wall of the rail vehicle. The bracket 7 is fixed on the vehicle framework. When the rail vehicle collides, the anti-climbing plates 1 of the two vehicles first contact each other. The anti-climbing teeth are engaged with each other to prevent climbing. Then, under the action of the horizontal impact force, the main cutting rings 21 and the auxiliary cutting rings 31 on the main guide rod 2 and the auxiliary guide rod 3 are cut by the main cutting hole 41 and the auxiliary cutting hole 42, respectively. At the same time, the inner cutting tool 6 cuts the inner cutting ring 22 inside the main guide rod 2 to dissipate the impact energy of the rail vehicle. In this structure, the main cutting ring 21 on the main guide rod 2 serves as the main energy-absorbing component, and the auxiliary cutting ring 31 on each auxiliary guide rod 3 serves as the auxiliary energy-absorbing component. The energy absorption is complementary. Through the multi-rod combined cutting energy absorption and the inner and outer cutting energy absorption of the main guide rod 2, the cutting surface is greatly increased, the initial buffering capacity of the overall structure during impact is improved, and the subsequent energy-absorbing buffering effect is greatly improved. During the cutting process, the main guide rod 2 and the auxiliary guide rod 3 play a guiding role, providing a certain supporting force while guiding the cutting energy absorption.

Through the staggered distribution of the auxiliary cutting ring 31, the inner cutting ring 22, and the main cutting ring 21, the cutting energy absorption process is continuous and stable and reliable.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base 4 is made of hard alloy.

[0031] In this embodiment, foam material 8 is filled between the anti-climb plate 1 and the base 4, and an outer shell 9 is provided for sealing. Filling with foam material 8 further improves the energy absorption and buffering effect of the overall structure.
