Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial and mining locomotive quality measurement, and particularly relates to a non-railway weighing device for industrial and mining locomotives. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of locomotive weight measurement, parameters such as wheel load, axle load, and curb weight are mostly measured using the national standard GB / T 10762 "Methods for Measuring the Weight of Mining Locomotives". However, GB / T 10762 requires the use of measuring rails, a straight track for guide rails, and measuring instruments. This results in high manufacturing costs for the measuring system, making it impossible for many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) producing mining locomotives to invest in measurement systems compliant with GB / T 10762. They can only rely on a few large enterprises or institutions that use such systems, severely restricting the efficiency of SMEs in verifying locomotive design counterweights. Furthermore, traditional track weighing devices are expensive and difficult for SMEs to afford. Additionally, due to the gap A between the locomotive wheels and the running track, and the tapered wheel tread, etc., Figure 10 As shown. Therefore, during measurement, the positions of the contact points between the track and the wheel tread support are random, resulting in poor data repeatability. GB / T10762 requires that "the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​of consecutive wheel weight measurements divided by the arithmetic mean of six measurements must not exceed 1.2% for the measurement result to be considered valid," which also indirectly illustrates the discreteness and randomness of the measurement data. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-railway weighing device for industrial and mining locomotives to solve the technical problem of the discreteness and randomness of locomotive mass measurement data.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A non-rail weighing device for industrial and mining locomotives includes multiple wheel load support devices corresponding to wheels, a wheel load meter is installed on the top of each wheel load support device, and an adjustable wheel load support device is placed on the wheel load meter.

[0006] The wheel load support device includes an upper support plate and a lower support plate, which are connected by a height adjustment mechanism. The lower end face of the lower support plate is provided with multiple horizontal adjustment bolts, and the wheel load meter is installed on the upper end face of the upper support plate.

[0007] The wheel load support adjustable device includes a base, the upper surface of which is provided with a support platform and a positioning plate. A groove matching the wheel is provided on the support platform. The positioning plate is disposed on one side of the support platform and is slidably connected to the base. The positioning plate is provided with a fixing device for fixing the wheel load support adjustable device to the inner side of the wheel.

[0008] Therefore, the non-railway weighing device for mining locomotives of the present invention consists of three parts: a wheel load support device, a wheel load meter, and an adjustable wheel load support device. The wheel load support device, through self-leveling adjustment of the wheel support points and the leveling adjustment of adjacent wheel support points, enables small and medium-sized enterprises producing mining locomotives to conduct locomotive quality measurements on hard surfaces in the workshop. The adjustable wheel load support device, through adjustable positioning and support of the wheel tread support points and self-centering of the device's gravity, solves the problems of wheel-rail clearance and random uncertainty of wheel tread support contact points, avoiding the dispersion and randomness of locomotive quality measurement data. Furthermore, the weighing device of this application eliminates the need for a weighing track, saving space and significantly reducing costs.

[0009] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism connects the center of the upper support plate and the lower support plate, and several guide posts are provided between the upper support plate and the lower support plate. The lower end of the guide post is fixed to the upper surface of the lower support plate, and the upper end of the guide post penetrates through the upper support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment mandrel, an upper threaded section and a lower threaded section disposed on the adjustment mandrel, wherein the upper threaded section and the lower threaded section rotate in opposite directions, and the upper support plate and the lower support plate are both threadedly connected to the adjustment mandrel.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting mandrel is provided with an adjusting element between the upper thread section and the lower thread section to drive the adjusting mandrel to rotate.

[0012] Furthermore, support screws are provided on both sides of the groove, and the ends of the support screws are spherical.

[0013] Furthermore, the support screws are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the positioning plate includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The horizontal plate is located at the bottom of the vertical plate. An oblong hole is formed on the horizontal plate. The extension direction of the oblong hole is perpendicular to the vertical plate. An adjusting bolt passes through the oblong hole to connect the positioning plate to the base.

[0015] Furthermore, the center of gravity G of the wheel load support adjustable device is located on the center line of the wheel load support adjustable device and is lower than 1 / 2 of the total height H of the wheel load support adjustable device.

[0016] Furthermore, the fixing device is a switching magnetic base, which is located on the side opposite to the support platform.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower surface of the base matches the shape of the upper surface of the wheel load meter.

[0018] To address the technical problem of the discreteness and randomness of locomotive mass measurement data, based on the same inventive concept, this invention also provides a non-railway weighing method for industrial and mining locomotives, which includes the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Based on the number of locomotive wheels and the distance between their positions, place the corresponding number of wheel load support devices on the ground according to the wheel distribution positions.

[0020] Step 2: Adjust the leveling bolts of each wheel load support device to ensure that the wheel load indicator on each wheel load support device is in a horizontal state.

[0021] Step 3: Using the working plane of one of the wheel load meters as a reference, adjust the height adjustment mechanism of the adjacent wheel load support devices respectively so that the height difference between the working planes of the adjacent wheel load meters reaches the specified value.

[0022] Step 4: Zero the wheel load tester in preparation for the weighing test.

[0023] Step 5: Adjust the positioning plate of the adjustable wheel load support device. Determine the position of the wheel tread weighing support point according to the test requirements. Preferably, by turning off the switch magnetic base, adjust the position of the inner side of the wheel to the center of the support screw, slide the positioning plate until it contacts the inner side of the wheel, and then fix the positioning plate to the base with the adjusting bolts. This determines the position of the wheel tread support point.

[0024] Step Six: Following the requirements of Step Five, install the wheel load support adjustable device onto each wheel of the locomotive, turn on the switch magnetic base, and make the wheel load support adjustable device magnetically attract the wheel.

[0025] Step 7: Hoist the locomotive equipped with the wheel load support adjustable device onto the wheel load meter prepared in Step 4.

[0026] Step 8: Begin weighing and record the weight of each wheel as one measurement.

[0027] Step 9: Repeat step 7 until the set number of measurement data is completed.

[0028] Step 10: Calculate the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the continuous measurement results for the same wheel weight. Divide the result by the arithmetic mean of the measured results for the set number of times. If the difference does not exceed the rated error value, the measurement result can be considered valid. Otherwise, return to step 7.

[0029] Step 11: Based on the measurement results, calculate the average weight of each wheel (axle). The data is rounded to the nearest whole number of measurements taken. The unit is kilograms.

[0030] Step 12: Calculate the required parameters such as wheel load, axle load, curb weight, empty vehicle weight, wheel load deviation rate, and axle load deviation rate according to GB / T 10762.

[0031] Step 13: Complete the off-track weighing test of the mining locomotive.

[0032] The preferred number of cycles is 6. The preferred rated error value is 1.2%.

[0033] The off-track weighing device for industrial and mining locomotives of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0034] This invention enables small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) producing mining locomotives to conduct quality measurements on hard surfaces in their workshops by adjusting the self-leveling of the wheel support points and the leveling of adjacent wheel support points. Simultaneously, through the adjustable positioning and support of the wheel tread support points and the self-centering of the device under gravity, it solves the problems of wheel-rail clearance and the random and uncertain contact points of the wheel tread support. Because the wheel support points are fixed, the measurement data exhibits good reproducibility, providing SMEs with a quick and economical method for verifying locomotive design counterweights.
