[0042] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present application, the technical solutions and the beneficial effects more clearly understood, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not used to limit the present application.

[0043] As Figures 1 to 10As shown, an embodiment of the locking device 10 provided by the present application comprises a locking assembly 11, a stopper 12 and an elastic member 13. The locking assembly 11 abuts against the elastic member 13. The locking assembly 11 has a first locking groove 1111, a second locking groove 1112 and a turnout locking groove 1124. The first locking groove 1111 is in communication with the second locking groove 1112. The turnout locking groove 1124 is used for the locking pin of the turnout to enter or exit in the first direction, so as to lock or unlock the turnout. When the turnout is switched, the locking pin of the turnout can move in the first direction. When the locking pin is clamped in the turnout locking groove 1124, the turnout is locked, indicating that the switching is in place. When the locking pin exits the turnout locking groove 1124, the locking of the turnout can be released.

[0044] The stopper 12 is provided with a locking shaft 121 arranged on the surface of the side of the stopper 12 facing the locking assembly 11. The stopper 12 can reciprocate between a first position and a second position. When the stopper 12 is in the first position, the locking shaft 121 is in the first locking groove 1111, and the first locking groove 1111 stops the locking shaft 121, so that the stopper 12 is kept at the first position. When the stopper 12 is in the second position, the locking shaft 121 is in the second locking groove 1112, and the locking shaft 121 can block the rotation of the locking assembly.

[0045] When the turnout starts to switch, the locking assembly 11 can be rotated under the pushing of the locking pin of the turnout. Since the locking assembly 11 abuts against the elastic member 13, the rotation of the locking assembly 11 will squeeze the elastic member 13, and the elastic member 13 accumulates elastic potential energy. At the same time, the rotation of the locking assembly 11 will change the positions of the first locking groove 1111 and the second locking groove 1112, so that the locking shaft 121 moves relative to the first locking groove 1111. The locking shaft 121 can move along the first locking groove 1111 and enter the second locking groove 1112, so as to drive the stopper 12 to move from the first position to the second position. The locking shaft 121 is clamped in the second locking groove 1112, and the locking assembly 11 cannot rotate, so as to lock the locking assembly 11. The locking pin cannot exit from the turnout locking groove 1124 in the first direction, so as to lock the locking pin of the turnout in the turnout locking groove 1124, and realize the locking after the turnout is switched in place. After the switching is in place, the elastic member 13 is squeezed to the limit position, and the elastic member 13 can limit the rotation angle of the locking assembly 11.

[0046] When the turnout needs to be unlocked, when the stop block 12 moves from the second position to the first position, the stop block 12 drives the locking shaft 121 to move. The locking shaft 121 disengages from the second locking groove 1112, releasing the locking shaft 121 from locking the locking component 11. Under the action of the elastic force, the elastic member 13 can push the locking component 11 to rotate back to its original position, and the locking shaft 121 re-enters the first locking groove 1111. At the same time, the turnout drives the locking pin to move, and the locking pin can disengage from the turnout locking groove 1124 in the first direction, thereby realizing the unlocking of the turnout.

[0047] The locking device 10 provided in this embodiment of the invention allows the turnout to be locked quickly when the turnout is switched. During this process, the locking pin of the turnout pushes the locking component 11 to rotate, engaging with the second locking groove 1112 via the locking shaft 121. This locks the locking component 11, securing the locking pin in the turnout locking groove 1124. When unlocking is required, the locking shaft 121 disengages from the second locking groove 1112, releasing the locking component 11. The elastic element 13 pushes the locking component 11 back to its original position, allowing the turnout to move the locking pin out of the turnout locking groove 1124, thus enabling rapid unlocking of the turnout. This rapid locking and unlocking of the turnout shortens the switching time and increases the switching speed.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 11 includes a collision plate 112, a stop plate 111, and a rotating pin 113. The rotating pin 113 is connected between the collision plate 112 and the stop plate 111. A first locking groove 1111 and a second locking groove 1112 are provided on the stop plate 111. A turnout locking groove 1124 is provided on the collision plate 112. The collision plate 112 and the stop plate 111 rotate around the rotating pin 113. The locking pin of the turnout moves toward the collision plate 112 in a first direction. The locking pin can push the collision plate 112 to rotate clockwise. The collision plate 112 synchronously drives the stop plate 111 to rotate clockwise via the rotating pin 113. After the stop plate 111 presses the elastic member 13 to the limit position, the stop plate 111 and the collision plate 112 stop rotating, the locking pin moves into place, and the locking pin is engaged in the turnout locking groove 1124.

[0049] Since the locking pin is moved by the turnout, the locking pin always keeps moving in the first direction. In the initial state, the turnout locking groove 1124 is obliquely arranged, and the locking pin can enter the turnout locking groove 1124 when moving in the first direction. After the impact plate 112 is rotated to the position, the opening direction of the turnout locking groove 1124 is changed, and since the locking assembly 11 is locked, the locking pin is blocked by the impact plate 112, and the locking pin cannot move out of the turnout locking groove 1124 in the first direction, so as to realize the locking of the turnout. Similarly, when unlocking is needed, the locking assembly 11 is counterclockwise rotated back to the initial state, the opening direction of the turnout locking groove 1124 is changed, at this time, the locking pin can move out of the turnout locking groove 1124 in the first direction under the movement of the turnout, so as to realize the unlocking of the turnout.

[0050] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 10 The stop plate 111 includes a first body part 1113 and a stop part 1115. The first body part 1113 is connected with the rotating pin shaft 113. One end of the stop part 1115 is connected to the first body part 1113, and the other end of the stop part 1115 is a free end. The first locking groove 1111 is arranged at the joint of the stop part 1115 and the first body part 1113, and the second locking groove 1112 is arranged on the first body part 1113. Specifically, in the first direction, the first body part 1113 has oppositely arranged first and second side surfaces. The first and second locking grooves 1111 and 1112 are recessed from the first side surface to the second side surface, and the distance between the first locking groove 1111 and the first side surface is greater than the distance between the second locking groove 1112 and the first side surface.

[0051] The first body part 1113 is provided with a protrusion 1114, which separates the first and second locking grooves 1111 and 1112. The protrusion 1114 is located between the edge of the first locking groove 1111 close to the second locking groove 1112 and the edge of the second locking groove 1112 close to the first locking groove 1111. The second locking groove 1112 is lower than the first locking groove 1111.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 10As shown, the first direction is horizontal direction, the block 12 can move up and down between the first position and the second position, when the block 12 is in the first position, the locking shaft 121 is located in the first locking groove 1111, when the stop plate 111 rotates clockwise, the first locking groove 1111 and the locking shaft 121 are separated from each other, the second locking groove 1112 moves to the position of the locking shaft 121, because the second locking groove 1112 is lower than the first locking groove 1111, there is a height difference between the second locking groove 1112 and the first locking groove 1111, so that the block 12 drives the locking shaft 121 to move downward under the action of gravity, the locking shaft 121 enters the second locking groove 1112, so that the block 12 moves to the second position.

[0053] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the side surface of the first main body part 1113 away from the collision plate 112 is provided with a stop rod 1116, the stop rod 1116 and the rotating pin shaft 113 are eccentrically arranged on the first main body part 1113, when the block 12 is in the first position, the stop rod 1116 can abut against the elastic member 13, when the stop plate 111 rotates clockwise, the stop rod 1116 rotates with the stop plate 111, in the horizontal direction, the stop rod 1116 moves towards the direction of the elastic member 13, the stop rod 1116 can press the elastic member 13, until the elastic member 13 is compressed to the limit state, the clockwise rotation trend of the stop plate 111 is limited by the elastic member 13.

[0054] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 10 As shown, the collision plate 112 includes a second main body part 1121, a first limiting part 1122 and a second limiting part 1123, the rotating pin shaft 113 is connected between the first main body part 1113 and the second main body part 1121, the first limiting part 1122 and the second limiting part 1123 are arranged on the second main body part 1121, the turnout locking groove 1124 is formed between the first limiting part 1122 and the second limiting part 1123, and the turnout locking groove 1124 is in U shape. The first limiting part 1122 is lower than the second limiting part 1123, when the locking pin of the turnout moves in the horizontal direction, the first limiting part 1122 can avoid the locking pin of the turnout, so that the locking pin can enter the turnout locking groove 1124, after the collision plate 112 rotates clockwise, the first limiting part 1122 can block the locking pin of the turnout from leaving the turnout locking groove 1124 in the locked state of the turnout.

[0055] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 10As shown, one end of the first limiting portion 1122 away from the second body portion 1121 has a first surface 11221, when the block 12 is in the first position, the extension direction of the first surface 11221 is parallel to the first direction, so that the locking pin of the turnout can move along the first surface 11221 into the turnout locking groove 1124. The collision plate 112 rotates, and when the block 12 is in the second position, the extension direction of the first surface 11221 has an angle with the first direction, the first surface 11221 changes from the horizontal state to the inclined state, and the first surface 11221 can block the movement of the locking pin of the turnout in the horizontal direction, and the turnout is in the locked state. After the block 12 moves from the second position to the first position, the elastic member 13 pushes the locking assembly 11 to rotate, the first surface 11221 changes from the inclined state to the horizontal state, and the locking pin of the turnout can move along the first surface 11221 and then come out of the turnout locking groove 1124.

[0056] Preferably, one end of the second limiting portion 1123 away from the second body portion 1121 has a second surface 11231, the first surface 11221 and the second surface 11231 have an angle therebetween, and the first surface 11221 and the second surface 11231 are not in the same plane. The second surface 11231 is in the inclined state, the extension direction of the second surface 11231 has an angle with the first direction, and the lower edge of the second surface 11231 is higher than the first surface 11221, so that the second limiting portion 1123 can block the locking pin and avoid the locking pin from overcoming the second limiting portion 1123 due to a large collision force, thereby affecting the clamping of the locking pin and the turnout locking groove 1124. The collision plate 112 rotates, and when the block 12 is in the second position, the extension direction of the second surface 11231 is parallel to the first direction, and the second surface 11231 changes from the inclined state to the horizontal state.

[0057] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 The locking device 10 further includes a driving member 14 and a connecting plate 15, the first end of the connecting plate 15 is connected to the driving member 14, and the second end of the connecting plate 15 is connected to the block 12. The block 12 can move downward under the action of gravity from the first position to the second position. The driving member 14 can drive the block 12 to move through the connecting plate 15, and the block 12 moves from the second position to the first position, so that the block 12 can move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0058] The second end of the connecting plate 15 protrudes from the block 12 along the axis direction of the locking shaft 121, that is, the width of the second end of the connecting plate 15 is greater than the thickness of the block 12, and the stop portion 1115 is located below the connecting plate 15. When the block 12 is in the second position, the free end of the stop portion 1115 abuts against the second end of the connecting plate 15, which also has the effect of being able to block the continued rotation of the stop plate 111.

[0059] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 , Figure 10 the driving member 14 adopts a conventional linear motor, the driving member 14 comprises a base 141, a sliding block 142, a stator and a rotor, the sliding block 142 is slidingly connected to the base 141, the connecting plate 15 is connected to the sliding block 142, the stop block 12 is at the first position, and the linear motor is in a power-off state. After the stop plate 111 rotates, the stop block 12 moves from the first position to the second position under the action of gravity. When it is necessary to unlock the turnout, the linear motor is powered on, and under the magnetic field action of the stator and the rotor, the sliding block 142 moves, thereby driving the stop block 12 to move from the second position to the first position. The locking shaft 121 of the stop block 12 is re-coupled in the first locking groove 1111, and after the locking pin of the turnout leaves the turnout locking groove 1124, the linear motor is powered off. Through the coupling of the locking shaft 121 and the first locking groove 1111, the stop plate 111 supports the stop block 12 and does not fall.

[0060] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 , the locking device 10 further comprises a first sensor 1411, a second sensor 1412 and an inductive sheet 1421, the first sensor 1411 and the second sensor 1412 are installed on the base 141, and the inductive sheet 1421 is installed on the sliding block 142. When the stop block 12 is at the first position, the inductive sheet 1421 contacts the first sensor 1411, and when the stop block 12 is at the second position, the inductive sheet 1421 contacts the second sensor 1412. Through the cooperation of the inductive sheet 1421, the first sensor 1411 and the second sensor 1412, the movement distance of the sliding block 142 can be limited, thereby limiting the movement position of the stop block 12.

[0061] Specifically, when the inductive sheet 1421 cooperates in the first sensor 1411, the first sensor 1411 can feedback the position of the stop block 12, at this time, the linear motor remains in a power-off state.

[0069] The working process of the locking device 10 in the embodiment is as follows: as shown in the drawings, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 In the initial state, the collision plate 112 is inclined, the sensing sheet 1421 triggers the first sensor 1411, the driving member 14 is in a power-off state at this time, the driving member 14 is connected to the block 12 through the connecting plate 15, the locking shaft 121 on the block 12 is arranged in the first locking groove 1111, the spring assembly is not stressed, and the push rod 131 abuts against the stop rod 1116 of the stop plate 111.
