[0055] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] As the operating time of rail lines such as subway lines increases, it is often necessary to use maintenance vehicles such as flaw detection trolleys and tunnel inspection trolleys, equipped with inspection devices, to inspect the tracks and ensure the safety of the subway lines. However, due to the low speed of the trolleys and the limited window time for maintenance work, the trolleys alone cannot complete the work on time for long-distance line inspections. Furthermore, existing trolley systems are heavy and inconvenient to transport. Therefore, there is a need for a solution that allows for the rapid assembly and disassembly of the trolleys.

[0057] In view of this, the present invention provides a track maintenance trolley, wherein the front wheel module and the rear wheel module are detachably connected to the frame via quick-release devices, allowing the track maintenance trolley to be quickly disassembled and the disassembled parts to be quickly transported to the maintenance destination for reassembly to complete the maintenance work. This can greatly improve work efficiency, overcome the problem that the maintenance work cannot be completed within the limited maintenance window due to the limited travel speed of the track maintenance trolley itself, and also solve the problem that the track maintenance trolley is inconvenient to transport when it is heavy and bulky.

[0058] The following is for reference. Figures 1-15 A track maintenance trolley 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0059] Combination Figures 1-3 The track maintenance trolley 100 in this embodiment may include: a frame 1, a front wheel module 2 and a rear wheel module 3.

[0060] Specifically, the frame 1 can be used to carry flaw detection equipment, maintenance equipment, etc., and of course, the frame 1 can also carry other functional components.

[0061] The front wheel module 2 may include a front wheel frame 21, a front wheel pair 22, a braking mechanism 23, and at least one first quick-release device 4a. The front wheel frame 21 can be a frame structure, a plate structure, or other structures. The front wheel frame 21 provides mounting support for components such as the front wheel pair 22, the braking mechanism 23, and the first quick-release device 4a. The front wheel pair 22, the braking mechanism 23, and the first quick-release device 4a are all located on the front wheel frame 21. The first quick-release device 4a connects the front wheel frame 21 and the vehicle frame 1. The braking mechanism 23 engages with the front wheel pair 22. When the braking mechanism 23 brakes the front wheel pair 22, the front wheel pair 22 causes the rear wheel pair 32 to stop rotating, thus stopping the vehicle 100.

[0062] The rear wheel module 3 may include a rear wheel frame 31, a rear wheel pair 32, a drive mechanism 33, and at least one second quick-release device 4b. The rear wheel frame 31 can be a frame structure, a plate structure, or other structures. The rear wheel frame 31 provides mounting support for components such as the rear wheel pair 32, the drive mechanism 33, and the second quick-release device 4b. The rear wheel pair 32, drive mechanism 33, and second quick-release device 4b are all located on the rear wheel frame 31. The second quick-release device 4b connects the rear wheel frame 31 and the vehicle frame 1. The drive mechanism 33 is in transmission cooperation with the rear wheel pair 32; that is, the drive mechanism 33 can drive the rear wheel pair 32 to rotate. When the rear wheel pair 32 rotates, it drives the front wheel pair 22 to rotate, realizing the forward and backward movement of the vehicle 100.

[0063] Either the first quick-release device 4a or the second quick-release device 4b is configured to be detachably connected to the frame 1. In other words, the front wheel module 2 can be detachably connected to the frame 1 via the first quick-release device 4a, and the rear wheel module 3 can be detachably connected to the frame 1 via the second quick-release device 4b. Thus, the running system of the track maintenance trolley 100 is divided into two independent running modules, which reduces the weight of individual modules while ensuring necessary functional integration.

[0064] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the track maintenance trolley 100 has its front wheel module 2 and rear wheel module 3 detachably connected to the frame 1 via quick-release devices. This allows the track maintenance trolley 100 to be quickly disassembled, and the disassembled parts can be quickly transported to the maintenance destination by other vehicles for assembly to complete the maintenance work. This can greatly improve work efficiency and overcome the problem that the maintenance work cannot be completed within the limited maintenance window due to the limited travel speed of the track maintenance trolley 100 itself. It can also solve the problem that the track maintenance trolley 100 is inconvenient to transport when it is heavy and bulky.

[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 and Figure 13 Both the front wheel frame 21 and the rear wheel frame 31 can include an outer frame and an inner beam. The outer frame can be formed by connecting multiple side frames end to end sequentially, for example, by welding. The inner beam is connected to the inside of the outer frame. Both the outer frame and the inner beam can be used to install other components. For example, the outer frame can be formed into a square by connecting four side frames end to end sequentially. The inner beam can include at least one of a crossbeam or a longitudinal beam. The arrangement of the inner beams in the front wheel frame 21 and the rear wheel frame 31 can be the same or different. In addition, the number of crossbeams or longitudinal beams can be reasonably set as needed to better support and install other components. In this way, the front wheel frame 21 and the rear wheel frame 31 can more conveniently arrange and install other components, and the overall structure is relatively simple, easy to manufacture and assemble.

[0066] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 The frame 1 may have multiple mounting holes 11, which may be round holes. Either the first quick-release device 4a or the second quick-release device 4b may include a limiting component and an anti-detachment component 44. The limiting component has a limiting part and a connecting part. The connecting part can pass through the mounting hole 11, and the limiting part abuts against the portion of the frame 1 located at one axial end of the mounting hole 11. The anti-detachment component 44 has a limiting mating part 441 and a connecting mating part 442. The connecting mating part 442 can connect with the connecting part, for example, by insertion or snap-fit. The limiting mating part 441 abuts against the portion of the frame 1 located at the other axial end of the mounting hole 11.

[0067] Thus, the limiting component and the anti-detachment component 44 are connected to the connecting part through the connecting mating part 442. At the same time, the limiting part of the limiting component and the limiting mating part 441 of the anti-detachment component 44 together clamp the upper and lower sides of the frame 1, thereby achieving the connection with the frame 1. The anti-detachment component 44 can play a safe anti-detachment role. Furthermore, the overall structure of the first quick-release device 4a and the second quick-release device 4b is relatively simple, enabling the rapid assembly and disassembly of the track maintenance trolley 100.

[0068] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 There can be two first quick-release devices 4a, distributed at both ends of the front wheel frame 21 along the width direction of the track maintenance trolley 100. Similarly, there are two second quick-release devices 4b, distributed at both ends of the rear wheel frame 31 along the width direction of the track maintenance trolley 100. Correspondingly, four mounting holes 11 can be provided on the frame 1, corresponding to the two first quick-release devices 4a and the two second quick-release devices 4b, respectively. Thus, by connecting multiple quick-release devices to the frame 1, the track maintenance trolley 100 achieves higher structural strength after assembly, improving reliability.

[0069] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The limiting assembly may include a fixing seat 41 and a connecting bushing 42. Specifically, the fixing seat 41 may include a seat body 411 and a connecting post 412. The seat body 411 may be formed in the shape of a plate and is fixedly connected to the corresponding front wheel frame 21 or rear wheel frame 31. For example, the seat body 411 of the fixing seat 41 of the first quick-release device 4a may be bolted to the front wheel frame 21, and the seat body 411 of the fixing seat 41 of the second quick-release device 4b may be bolted to the rear wheel frame 31. The connecting post 412 is located on one side of the seat body 411 along the thickness direction. For example, the connecting post 412 is located on the upper side of the seat body 411, that is, the bottom end of the connecting post 412 is connected to the upper surface of the seat body 411. The connecting bushing 42 can be cylindrical and is fitted onto the connecting post 412. When the limiting assembly is assembled with the frame 1, the connecting bushing 42 is adapted to be embedded in the mounting hole 11. In other words, the inner peripheral wall of the connecting bushing 42 contacts the connecting post 412, and the outer peripheral wall of the connecting bushing 42 contacts the frame 1, which can transmit horizontal forces. The connecting bushing 42 and the connecting post 412 together constitute the connecting part of the limiting assembly, and the seat body 411 constitutes the limiting part of the limiting assembly. Thus, the structure of the limiting assembly is relatively simple and easy to assemble.

[0070] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The limiting component also includes a vibration damping pad 43, which is sleeved on the outside of the connecting post 412 and located between the seat body 411 and the connecting bushing 42. That is, the vibration damping pad 43 is located on the upper surface of the seat body 411. In this way, the vibration damping pad 43 can bear the weight of the frame 1 and maintenance equipment, and can also buffer the vibration transmission between the connecting bushing 42 and the seat body 411, preventing the vibration of the front wheel module 2 and the rear wheel module 3 from being transmitted to the frame 1. This helps to prevent the first quick release device 4a and the second quick release device 4b from loosening in the vibration environment, thereby improving the reliability of the track maintenance trolley 100.

[0071] Optionally, the vibration damping pad 43 and the base body 411 are connected by screws, so that the connection between the vibration damping pad 43 and the base body 411 is reliable and the assembly method is relatively simple.

[0072] In a specific example, both the connecting bushing 42 and the damping pad 43 are rubber parts. In this way, both the connecting bushing 42 and the damping pad 43 can buffer the vibration, resulting in a better vibration reduction effect.

[0073] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 6The connecting post 412 has a connecting hole 413, which extends along the axial direction of the connecting post 412 (i.e., the axial direction of the mounting hole 11). The connecting mating part 442 can be a plug, and the connecting mating part 442 is threadedly engaged with the connecting hole 413. For example, a first connecting thread is formed on the inner wall of the connecting hole 413, and a second connecting thread is formed on the outer wall of the plug. The plug and the connecting hole 413 are threadedly connected. This allows the connecting post 412 of the fixing seat 41 and the connecting mating part 442 of the anti-detachment component 44 to be quickly connected and disassembled, and the connection is reliable, which helps to improve the reliability of the assembled track maintenance trolley 100.

[0074] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9 The front wheel frame 21 has a first front mounting seat 211 at each end along its own length direction (i.e., the width direction of the track maintenance trolley 100). The first front mounting seat 211 includes a first front mounting part 212 and a second front mounting part 213. The first front mounting part 212 and the second front mounting part 213 are located on both sides of the front wheel frame 21 along the height direction. For example, the first front mounting part 212 and the second front mounting part 213 can both be formed as plates. The first front mounting part 212 is located on the lower side of the front wheel frame 21, and the second front mounting part 213 is located on the upper side of the front wheel frame 21.

[0075] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 10 The front wheel set 22 may include a front axle 221 and two front rollers 222. The two front rollers 222 are located at both ends of the front axle 221 along its axial direction. The front rollers 222 can be made of nylon, aluminum alloy, or other materials. The front rollers 222 may also have a second front mounting seat 223 on the front axle 221 that corresponds one-to-one with the first front mounting seat 211. The second front mounting seat 223 is bolted to the first front mounting portion 212. A first quick-release device 4a is fixedly mounted on the second front mounting portion 213. For example, the seat body 411 of the fixing seat 41 of the first quick-release device 4a can be bolted to the second front mounting portion 213. That is, the front axle 221 is mounted on the lower side of the front wheel frame 21, and the first quick-release device 4a is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the front wheel frame 21 for easy assembly with the vehicle frame 1.

[0076] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 and Figure 9The first front mounting base 211 may also include a plurality of first supporting connecting ribs 214. The plurality of first supporting connecting ribs 214 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart between the first front mounting part 212 and the second front mounting part 213. The upper and lower ends of the first supporting connecting ribs 214 are connected to the first front mounting part 212 and the second front mounting part 213 respectively, for example by welding. One end of the first supporting connecting rib 214 along the width direction of the track maintenance trolley 100 is connected to the front wheel frame 21, for example by welding. In this way, the first front mounting base 211 has high structural strength, which can make the connection between the front wheelset 22 and the front wheel axle 221 more reliable.

[0077] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 11 The braking mechanism 23 may include: a brake handle 231, a brake pedal 232, a brake cable divider 233, a brake disc 234, and a brake cable 235. Specifically, the brake handle 231 is movably mounted on the front wheel frame 21 and extends from the upper side of the frame 1. The brake pedal 232 is movably mounted on the front wheel frame 21 and extends from the upper side of the frame 1. The brake cable divider 233 is located on one side of the front wheel frame 21 in the longitudinal direction, for example, the brake cable divider 233 is located on the rear side of the front wheel frame 21. There are multiple brake discs 234, which are spaced apart on the front wheel pair 22. The brake calipers 236 correspond one-to-one with the brake discs 234, and the brake calipers 236 can be detachably engaged with the brake discs 234 to achieve braking of the brake discs 234 or separation from the brake discs 234. The brake cable 235 is used to connect the brake caliper 236 and the brake branch rod 233, the brake handle 231 and the brake branch rod 233, and the brake pedal 232 and the brake branch rod 233. The brake cable 235 can transmit braking torque.

[0078] For example Figure 8 As shown, the rear frame of the front wheel carrier 21 is provided with a first front connecting seat 215, a second front connecting seat 216, and a third front connecting seat 217. The first front connecting seats 215 are located at both ends of the rear frame. The brake splitter 233 is provided with two first front mating seats 237 corresponding to the first front connecting seats 215. The brake splitter 233 and the front wheel carrier 21 are connected by fasteners that pass sequentially through the first front connecting seats 215 and the first front mating seats 237, and the brake splitter 233 is rotatable. The second front connecting seat 216 extends approximately vertically. The brake handle 231 is rotatably mounted on the second front connecting seat 216 and connected to the clamp on the brake splitter 233 via a brake cable 235. The clamp can be made of aluminum alloy. The brake pedal 232 is rotatably mounted on the third front connecting seat 217 and connected to the brake splitter 233 via a brake cable 235.

[0079] There are four brake discs 234. Two of the four brake discs 234 are mounted on the flange seats of the front wheel axle 221 with screws, and the other two are mounted on the bushing flanges inside the two front rollers 222 with screws, and are tangentially positioned with the front wheel axle 221 by keys. Each brake disc 234 is equipped with a brake caliper 236, which can clamp the brake disc 234 or separate from it. The brake caliper 236 is connected to the clamp on the brake splitter lever 233 via a brake cable 235. In this way, when the operator pulls the brake lever or depresses the brake pedal 232, the brake cable 235 drives the brake splitter lever 233 to rotate, and the brake splitter lever 233, in turn, drives the brake caliper 236 to clamp the brake disc 234 via the brake cable 235, thereby achieving braking of the vehicle 100.

[0080] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The frame 1 may be provided with a first clearance hole and a second clearance hole.

The drive member 331 can be disposed on the first rear connecting seat 315, and the drive controller 332 can be disposed on the second rear connecting seat 316.

[0090] For example Figure 13As shown, both the first rear connecting seat 315 and the second rear connecting seat 316 are located on the front frame of the rear wheel frame 31, and both can be welded to the rear wheel frame 31. The first rear connecting seat 315 is a vertical plate with an interface for mounting the drive component 331. The second rear connecting seat 316 includes two opposing mounting plates with interfaces for mounting the drive controller 332. Both the first and second rear connecting seats 315 and 316 can be made of aluminum alloy to reduce the weight of the rear wheel module 3, facilitating handling and disassembly. The drive component 331 can be a drive motor, and correspondingly, the drive controller 332 is a motor controller. Alternatively, the drive component 331 can also be a hydraulic motor, a wheel-side motor, etc. In another possible embodiment, the drive controller 332 can also be located on the frame 1.

[0091] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 12 and Figure 15 The rear wheel set 32 ​​may also include a first transmission gear 333, a second transmission gear 334, and a gear cover 335.

The rear wheel frame 31 is also provided with a third rear connecting seat 317, and the gear cover 335 is mounted on the third rear connecting seat 317 and covers the outside of the first transmission gear 333 and the second transmission gear 334 to protect them.

[0092] In some embodiments, reference Figure 13 The rear wheel frame 31 may also be provided with a fourth rear connecting seat 318, which may be provided with a power supply device such as a socket, and the fourth rear connecting seat 318 may also be made of aluminum alloy.

[0093] In some embodiments, reference Figure 14 The rear wheel set 32 ​​may also include components such as a rear bearing housing 324, a rear end cover 325, and a rear bearing 326. Specifically, a pair of rear bearings 326 are installed on the journal ends of both ends of the rear wheel axle 321. The outer rings of the rear bearings 326 are installed within the rear bearing housing 324 and are axially positioned by the rear end cover 325 and axle shoulders. Rear rollers 322 are installed at both ends of the rear wheel axle 321 and are radially positioned by a key connection, then axially fixed by end nuts. This assembly of the rear wheel axle 321 and the rear rollers 322 achieves high reliability.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second rear mounting base 323 and the rear bearing housing 324 can be integrally formed, that is, the second rear mounting base 323 can be used to connect the rear wheel frame 31 and also serve as the mounting base for the rear bearing 326. This helps to reduce the number of parts, thereby reducing the overall weight and facilitating disassembly, assembly and transportation.

[0095] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in combination Figure 8 and Figure 13 Each of the front wheel frame 21 and the rear wheel frame 31 is provided with multiple weight-reducing holes 5, which are arranged at intervals.
