Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bogie frame processing technology, and in particular to an automatic lifting, flipping, loading and unloading device and process for bogie frames. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of the bogie in the running gear of railway vehicles, the bogie frame directly bears the weight, traction, and braking forces of the vehicle. Before the traction and braking units are assembled onto the bogie frame, all mounting surfaces and holes of the bogie frame need to be machined. Due to the large size and irregular shape of the bogie frame, it has the characteristics of many machining surfaces and holes, long machining time, and high machining accuracy requirements. Generally, it is necessary to machine both sides of the bogie frame to complete the process. The traditional process is to use a manually operated overhead crane to lift the bogie frame onto the bogie frame reverse assembly machining fixture for clamping and machining. After the bogie frame reverse assembly machining is completed, the overhead crane is then manually operated to lift the bogie frame from the bogie frame reverse assembly fixture. The frame is hoisted to the ground from the jig, and then manually operated by an overhead crane to rotate it 180° to the upright position. The frame is then manually hoisted onto the upright processing jig for clamping and processing. After the upright processing is completed, the frame is manually hoisted away from the upright processing jig by an overhead crane. The hoisting and rotating of the frame is entirely dependent on manual operation of the overhead crane, which results in low efficiency and safety issues. In the existing technology, there are also automatic frame rotating devices fixed on the ground, but they have not been put into practical use due to the long frame clamping and rotating operation time and the limited functionality.
[0003] Therefore, based on the above problems, how to solve the problem that traditional frame hoisting and flipping processes affect the processing efficiency of both sides of the frame has become an important technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

A transverse motor 4.2 provides rotational driving force to the left and right rotating lead screws 4.1. The lower part of the sliding blocks is slidably connected to the transverse rail 3.3 of the longitudinal beam mechanism 3. The transverse beam mechanism 4 is equipped with a lifting beam mechanism 2 via two sliding blocks. In operation, the two lifting beam mechanisms 2 can be relatively displaced to adapt to the width of the frame under the drive of the sliding blocks, thus facilitating the clamping of the frame. Alternatively, they can be displaced in opposite directions away from the frame under the drive of the sliding blocks.

The automatic lifting and turning loading / unloading device for a frame according to claim 2, characterized in that: The workstation includes a frame loading and unloading workstation (6), a frame flipping workstation (7), and a frame automatic loading and unloading workstation (8). The frame automatic loading and unloading workstation (8) is equipped with frame support devices (8.1) at its four corners.
4. The automatic lifting and turning loading / unloading device for a frame according to claim 1, characterized in that: The frame clamping pressure plate (1.2) is also equipped with a safety pin (1.5), which is plugged into the frame air spring hole.
5. An automatic lifting, flipping, and loading / unloading process for a frame, comprising the automatic lifting, flipping, and loading / unloading device for a frame as described in any one of claims 1-4, characterized in that, The process includes the following steps: Step 1: Material preparation, providing the framework to be processed: Step 2: Transfer the frame to be processed to the automatic frame loading and unloading station (8) of the automatic frame lifting and flipping loading and unloading device, and use the automatic frame lifting and flipping loading and unloading device to complete the reverse installation, forward installation, 180° flipping, loading and unloading operations of the frame to be processed, and make the central axis of the frame to be processed aligned with the center of each station; Step 3: Using the automatic lifting and flipping loading and unloading device, the frame to be processed is automatically transferred to the frame reversing station of the frame loading and unloading station (6) to perform reversing and clamping processing on the frame to be processed. Step 4: After completing Step 3, the frame is automatically transferred to the frame flipping station (7) using the frame automatic lifting and flipping loading and unloading device. The frame is then automatically flipped 180° and then automatically transferred to the frame loading and unloading station (6) to perform the frame loading and clamping processing operation. Step 5: After completing Step 4, the completed frame is automatically transferred to the frame automatic loading and unloading station (8) using the frame automatic lifting and flipping loading and unloading device. This process is then completed.
