[0002] Driver controllers are widely used in electric locomotives, urban rail vehicles, EMUs, and rail engineering vehicles. Different vehicle models have different requirements for the placement of the driver controller operating handles, and each operating handle needs to be mechanically interlocked. Due to the different arrangements of the operating handles, the mechanical interlocking mechanisms also vary, resulting in the need to design a large number of different types of interlocking mechanism units, which greatly increases manufacturing costs.

[0003] In summary, how to effectively solve the problem of poor adaptability of interlocking mechanism units is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0052] In some embodiments, an interlocking mechanism unit 2 of a driver controller is installed between a traction braking unit 1 and a steering unit 3. The steering unit 3 can also be referred to as a key and steering unit 3. A locking action is output from the steering unit 3, and a locking structure (such as lock element 212, interlocking rod 222, and block structure 232) is formed on the interlocking mechanism unit 2 to cooperate with the traction braking unit 1. The locking action causes the locking structure to move, thereby locking the traction braking unit 1 and preventing it from engaging in unauthorized activities. The reset of the locking structure is generally achieved through an elastic device, which can be located in either the interlocking mechanism unit 2 or the traction braking unit 1.

[0053] The interlocking mechanism unit 2 may include a rotating component 21 and at least one set of translational components. Here, the rotating component 21 and the translational components are arranged side-by-side between the traction braking unit 1 and the directional unit 3 along the transmission direction. During locking, the directional unit 3 transmits force to the rotating component 21, then to the translational components, and finally the locking element 212 on the translational components locks the traction braking unit 1. When multiple translational components are provided, they are arranged side-by-side between the rotating component 21 and the traction braking unit 1. These multiple translational components may have different or identical structures. In this case, the locking element 212 on the translational component closest to the traction braking unit 1 locks the traction braking unit 1.

[0054] In the aforementioned interlocking mechanism unit 2, the rotating component 21 and the translation component can be used separately and can be independently installed between the traction braking unit 1 and the directional unit 3 as a simple interlocking unit. When multiple translation components are provided, the multiple translation components can be combined into an interlocking unit, and can be further combined with the rotating component 21 to form an interlocking unit. Alternatively, one or more sets of translation components can form an interlocking unit.

[0055] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 21 may include a first mounting base 211 and a locking member 212. One end of the locking member 212 is rotatably connected to the first mounting base, and the other end has a pushing end 213. The first mounting base 211 is a base component and is fixed relative to the base of the directional unit 3. When used alone, the pushing end 213 is used to abut against the braking end of the traction braking unit 1 to complete locking during rotation. The locking member 212 is linked with the directional unit 3 so that it can be pushed to rotate when the directional unit 3 is locked. This linkage can be formed by a fixed connection or by abutment. The locking member 212 is generally elongated. In practical applications, the rotation angle of the locking member 212 is very small throughout the locking process. Therefore, the pushing end 213 moves in a very small arc, which can be approximated as a straight line movement throughout the pushing process.

[0056] In some embodiments, the translation component may include a second mounting base 221, a sliding lock structure, and a reset elastic device 223, wherein the sliding lock structure is slidably connected to the second mounting base 221 to lock the traction braking unit 1 during sliding. The sliding lock structure and the traction braking unit 1 may be engaged by a slot block or a slot hole, and the specific configuration may be made as needed.

[0057] One end of the sliding lock structure abuts against the push end 213, allowing it to be driven by the rotating push end 213 to slide relative to the second mounting base 221 to the locked position. When the translation component is used alone to accommodate the sliding drive direction unit 3, the end of the sliding lock structure can abut against the drive end of the direction unit 3. Especially when the drive end of the direction unit 3 slides during locking, it is preferable to use the translation component alone. Of course, if multiple translation components are available, they can be used in parallel. When used in conjunction with the aforementioned rotation component 21, one end of the sliding lock structure abuts against the push end 213, so that when the lock member 212 rotates, it can push the sliding lock structure to slide relative to the second mounting base 221.

[0058] The reset elastic device 223 is disposed between the second mounting base 221 and the sliding lock structure to drive the sliding lock structure out of the locked position. That is, during the locking process, the reset elastic device 223 gradually deforms elastically to store energy. Then, when the external force or other resistance at the directional unit 3 is removed or reduced, the elastic force of the reset elastic device 223 drives the sliding lock structure to move in the opposite direction relative to the second mounting base 221 to release it and thus disengage from the locked position.

[0059] The first mounting base 211 and the second mounting base 221 are separately configured so that they can be disassembled individually. They can be detachably connected to each other or detachably fixed to the main unit of the driver controller. This allows them to be used in combination or separately depending on the actual installation object.

[0060] In the interlocking mechanism unit 2 of the aforementioned driver controller, at least two sets of components are provided, including at least one set of rotating components 21 and at least one set of translating components, allowing for combined use in the interlocking mechanism unit 2. Of course, when the structure of the driver controller changes, the rotating components 21 and the translating components can be used separately, making it highly replaceable. In the aforementioned interlocking mechanism unit 2, these components are separated for modular setup, allowing for both individual and combined use, greatly improving replaceability. In summary, the interlocking mechanism unit 2 of this driver controller effectively solves the problem of limited adaptability of the interlocking mechanism unit 2.

[0061] In some embodiments, at least two sets of translation components may be arranged side-by-side along the sliding direction of the sliding lock structure. When the above two sets of translation components are provided, the sliding lock structures of the multiple parallel translation components abut against each other to transmit force. At this time, the sliding lock structure away from the rotating component 21 indirectly abuts against the pushing end 213 through the sliding lock structure close to the rotating component 21. It should be noted that the structures of the multiple parallel translation components can be completely identical or different. By arranging multiple sets of translation components side-by-side, it is possible to better accommodate the traction braking unit 1 and the directional unit 3, which are located at a greater distance.

[0062] In some embodiments, the locking method of some traction braking units 1 is achieved through rod-hole mating. Specifically, at least one translation component can be a locking rod translation component 22, wherein the sliding lock structure of the locking rod translation component 22 is an interlocking rod 222. The interlocking rod 222 is a rod with a large extension length in the sliding direction to ensure long-distance force transmission. The cross-section of the interlocking rod 222 can be square, circular, semi-circular, or irregular. The end of the interlocking rod 222 away from the rotating component 21 needs to be adapted to the locking hole of the traction braking unit 1.

[0063] One end of the interlocking rod 222 has an abutment plate for abutting against the pushing end 213. Compared to direct abutment through the rod end face, using an abutment plate provides a better contact surface and thus a better contact effect. Furthermore, to better utilize the shoulder formed by the abutment plate protruding from the interlocking rod 222, the abutment plate can abut against the second mounting base 221 through a reset elastic device 223.

[0064] Specifically, for ease of positioning, the aforementioned reset elastic device 223 is preferably sleeved on the interlocking rod 222. The reset elastic device 223 can be a spring or an elastic body. Of course, the reset elastic device 223 of other translation components can also be a spring or an elastic body.

[0065] In some embodiments, considering the relatively long extension of the interlocking rod 222, and to facilitate the sliding of the interlocking rod 222 within the second mounting base 221, the second mounting base 221 of the locking rod translation assembly 22 is preferably groove-shaped, forming two or more upright support structures. The interlocking rod 222 passes sequentially through the two side walls of the groove of the second mounting base 221 and slides between them. This installation method greatly facilitates assembly, avoids high sliding resistance due to the excessive length of the interlocking rod 222, and thus effectively reduces costs.

[0066] In some embodiments, for better replaceability, the second mounting base 221 preferably includes a first sub-base 2211 and a second sub-base 2212, particularly for the second mounting base of the locking rod translation assembly. The first sub-base 2211 and the second sub-base 2212 are connected via elongated holes extending along the interlocking rod 222 and bolts, allowing the first sub-base 2211 and the second sub-base 2212 to adjust their positional relationship along the extension direction of the interlocking rod 222. This ensures that during installation, the first sub-base 2211 and the second sub-base 2212 are installed separately without interference, resulting in better adaptability. Alternatively, the first sub-base 2211 and the second sub-base 2212 can be provided with double elongated holes for connection via two sets of bolts. The bolts extend perpendicularly to the extension direction of the interlocking rod, i.e., the sliding direction of the interlocking rod. Specifically, the bolt extension direction can be perpendicular to both the first sub-base 2211 and the second sub-base 2212. The specific interlocking rod can also be a telescopic rod. The specific interlocking rod includes a first rod and a second rod, wherein the first rod is slidably engaged with the first sub-seat 2211 and the second rod is slidably engaged with the second sub-seat 2212. The first rod and the second rod are sleeved and can slide, and are locked to each other by screws, preferably by multiple circumferentially distributed locking screws.

[0067] In some embodiments, the locking method of some traction braking units 1 is achieved through the engagement of slot blocks. Specifically, at least one of the translation components can be a locking block translation component 23, and the sliding lock structure of the locking block translation component 23 is a block structure 232. One end of the block structure 232 abuts against the second mounting base 221 through a reset elastic device 223, and the other end is an abutment end for abutting against the pushing end 213. Since it is a block structure 232, the end face can directly abut against the pushing end 213.

[0068] Specifically, for ease of setup, the second mounting base 221 of the locking block translation assembly 23 can be a mounting plate 231, with a slide rod fixed at one end of the block structure 232 to cooperate with the mounting plate 231, and the reset elastic device 223 of the locking block translation assembly 23 sleeved on the slide rod.

[0069] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned locking block translation component 23 can be used alone, or it can be used in conjunction with the rotation component 21, or it can be used in conjunction with the above-mentioned locking rod translation component 22.

[0070] Alternatively, as shown in the attached diagram, the locking rod translation assembly 22 is located between the locking block translation assembly 23 and the rotating assembly 21; one end of the block structure 232 abuts against the second mounting base 221 via a return spring, and the other end is used to abut against the working end of the interlocking rod. In this case, the locking member 212 transmits force to the interlocking rod 222, and the interlocking rod 222 transmits force to the block structure 232.

[0071] In some embodiments, to facilitate pin connection, the rotating assembly 21 may include a bolt 215, wherein the bolt 215 passes through the locking member 212 and the ear plate 216 on the first mounting base 211 in sequence, wherein the bolt 215 rotates with the ear plate 216 or the locking member 212.

[0072] In some embodiments, the locking element 212 can be a locking plate. Specifically, one end of the locking plate can be aligned with the direction of the bolt 215 in thickness, and the other end can be bent into an L-shape to form a push end 213. A copper sleeve 214 is provided between the locking plate and the ear plate 216.

[0073] In some embodiments, as described above, the locking member 212 is linked to the directional unit 3 so that the locking member 212 can be rotated when the directional unit 3 is locked. Generally, in order to facilitate the transmission between the locking member 212 and the directional unit 3, it is preferable that the locking member 212 is provided with a top protrusion 2121 to facilitate contact with the working end of the directional unit 3.

[0074] In some embodiments, considering that the installation position of the first mounting base may be limited, and for ease of driving, the locking member 212 preferably includes a first locking member 2122 and a second locking member 2123, wherein the first locking member 2122 and the second locking member 2123 are respectively rotatably connected to the first mounting base 211, and the first locking member 2122 and the second locking member 2123 are connected by a locking device for fixation, and when the locking device is released, the included angle between the first locking member 2122 and the second locking member can be adjusted. The first locking member 2122 is provided with a pushing end 213, and the second locking member 2123 has a top protrusion 2121.

[0075] To facilitate the use of the first locking member 2122 and the second locking member 2123, the locking device can be a locking screw 2124 with an arc-shaped groove 2125 that mates with the locking screw 2124. The arc axis of the arc groove 2125 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the locking member 212 and the first mounting base 211.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first locking member 2122 preferably has an elongated hole extending along its extension direction to engage with the locking screw 2124 and the pivot of the first mounting base 211, respectively, so that the first locking member 2122 can be adjusted in its installation position along its extension direction. Specifically, the first locking member 2122 can be locked onto the copper sleeve 214 by a nut, and one of the elongated holes engages with or abuts against the copper sleeve. For example, the first locking member 2122 has a first elongated hole 2126 to engage with the locking screw 2124, in which case the arcuate groove 2125 is provided on the second locking member 2123; at the same time, the first locking member 2122 also has a second elongated hole 2127, so that its radial position can be adjusted relative to the first mounting base 211.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first mounting base preferably has a third elongated hole 2128 extending along the rotation axis of the locking member 2122, so as to achieve fixed installation with the corresponding base body through the third elongated hole 2128, that is, the third elongated hole 2128 serves as the mounting hole for the first mounting base.

[0078] In some embodiments, the locking member 212 is separated into two individual locking members, namely the first locking member 2122 and the second locking member 2123, with a push end 213 and a top protrusion 2121 respectively. This allows the angles of the push end 213 and the top protrusion 2121 to be adjustable, accommodating more installation positions, especially when the driving direction of the directional unit 3 is uncertain or needs adjustment. The first locking member 2122, with the push end 213, can be adjusted radially, allowing the radial position of the locking rod translation assembly 22 and the first mounting seat on the rotation axis of the locking member 212 to be adjusted. Preferably, this adjustment direction is intersecting with the adjustment direction between the first and second mounting seats 2211 and 2212. Ideally, the extension directions of the first elongated hole 2126, the third elongated hole 2127, and the sliding direction of the interlocking rod 222 are perpendicular to each other, allowing for adjustment of the installation position at multiple angles, and ensuring that the installation position and direction of the directional unit 3 are unrestricted or minimally restricted.

[0079] Based on the interlocking mechanism unit 2 of the driver controller provided in the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a driver controller, which includes any one of the interlocking mechanism units 2 in the above embodiments, including a traction braking unit 1 and a steering unit 3. The interlocking mechanism unit 2 is located between the traction braking unit 1 and the steering unit 3. At least one sliding lock structure of the interlocking mechanism unit 2 cooperates with the locking part on the traction braking unit 1, and the steering unit 3 is driven by the locking member 212. Since this driver controller adopts the interlocking mechanism unit 2 in the above embodiments, the beneficial effects of this driver controller can be referred to the above embodiments.

[0080] In some embodiments, a driver controller is provided. Specifically, the driver controller mainly includes a traction braking unit 1, a steering unit 3, and an interlocking mechanism unit 2. The interlocking mechanism unit 2 realizes the mechanical interlock between the traction braking unit 1 and the steering unit 3, and meets the technical requirement that the traction braking unit 1 can be operated after switching the steering unit 3.

[0081] The interlocking mechanism unit 2 is divided into three modules, mainly including the first module, the second module, and the third module. Details are as follows:

[0082] The first module, namely the aforementioned rotating assembly 21, mainly includes a first mounting base 211, a locking plate, a copper sleeve 214, a screw, a washer, and a nut. The first mounting base 211 is a fixed point, and the copper sleeve 214 is pressed into the locking plate to form a whole, which can be called the locking structure. The entire locking structure is connected to the first mounting base 211 through the screw, washer, and nut, and the locking structure can rotate relative to the first mounting base 211.

[0083] The second module, namely the aforementioned locking rod translation assembly 22, mainly includes a second mounting base 221, an interlocking rod 222, a first spring, and a copper sleeve 214. The second mounting base 221 serves as a fixed point, and the copper sleeve 214 is pressed into it. The first spring is sleeved around the interlocking rod 222 and is limited by the second mounting base 221 and the interlocking rod 222. The interlocking rod 222 can slide relative to the second mounting base 221 via the copper sleeve 214 and reset under the spring force.

[0084] The third module, namely the aforementioned locking block translation assembly 23, mainly includes a block structure 232, a mounting plate 231, and a second spring. The mounting plate 231 serves as a fixed point, and the second spring is sleeved around the block structure 232, limited by the shoulders of the mounting plate 231 and the block structure 232. The block structure 232 can slide relative to the mounting plate 231 and reset under the force of the spring. Both the first and second springs are the aforementioned reset elastic devices 223, and the mounting plate 231 is the aforementioned second mounting base 221.

[0085] Then, depending on the arrangement of the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1, the three modules can be combined or a single module can be used to achieve interlocking between the two units. The three modules can be optionally combined into at least four interlocking mechanisms. The first interlocking mechanism is a combination of the first, second, and third modules; the second interlocking mechanism is a combination of the first and second modules; the third interlocking mechanism is a combination of the second and third modules; and the fourth interlocking mechanism is a combination of the first and third modules.

[0086] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the working principle of the first interlocking mechanism is as follows: The first mounting base 211 is fixed to the directional unit 3. Switching the directional unit 3 drives the first module locking plate to rotate, causing the second module interlocking rod 222 to slide, which in turn causes the third module block structure 232 to slide, locking the traction braking unit 1. After the directional unit 3 returns to its original position, under the spring force of the second and third modules, the first, second, and third modules reset, unlocking the traction braking unit 1, thus realizing the mechanical interlock between the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1. Depending on the different arrangements of the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1, the length of the first module locking plate, the length of the second module interlocking rod 222, and the length of the third module block structure 232 can be adaptively adjusted. The operating force can be adjusted by changing the spring.

[0087] The working principle of the second interlocking mechanism is as follows: The first module mounting base is fixed to the directional unit 3. Switching the directional unit 3 drives the first module locking plate to rotate, causing the second module's interlocking rod 222 to slide, locking the traction braking unit 1. After the directional unit 3 returns to its original position, under the spring force of the second module, the first and second modules reset, unlocking the traction braking unit 1, thus realizing the mechanical interlock between the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1. Depending on the different arrangements of the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1, the length of the first module locking plate and the length of the second module interlocking rod 222 can be adaptively adjusted. The operating force can be adjusted by changing the spring.

[0088] The working principle of the third interlocking mechanism: The second module mounting base is fixed to the directional unit 3. Switching the directional unit 3 drives the second module interlocking rod 222 to slide, which in turn drives the third module block structure 232 to slide, locking the traction braking unit 1. After the directional unit 3 returns to its original position, under the spring force of the second and third modules, the second and third modules reset, unlocking the traction braking unit 1, thus realizing the mechanical interlock between the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1. Depending on the different arrangements of the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1, the lengths of the second module interlocking rod 222 and the third module block structure 232 can be adaptively adjusted. The operating force can be adjusted by changing the spring.

[0089] The working principle of the fourth interlocking mechanism: The first module mounting base is fixed to the directional unit 3. Switching the directional unit 3 drives the first module locking plate to rotate, causing the third module block structure 232 to slide and lock the traction braking unit 1. After the directional unit 3 returns to its original position, under the spring force of the third module, the first and third modules reset, unlocking the traction braking unit 1, thus realizing the mechanical interlock between the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1. Depending on the different arrangements of the directional unit 3 and the traction braking unit 1, the length of the first module locking plate and the length of the third module block structure 232 can be adaptively adjusted. The operating force can be adjusted by changing the spring.
