[0011] In view of this, the purpose of the present application is to provide a rail fastener storage device and a bulk material operation vehicle to solve the technical problems of low operating efficiency, small storage capacity and inability to meet continuous operation requirements of existing storage devices.

[0012] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the present application specifically provides a technical implementation solution of a rail fastener storage device, including:

[0013] An outer cylinder support component and an inner cylinder component are arranged concentrically from outside to inside, and the inner cylinder component adopts a circular rotating array structure for storing the rail fasteners to be dispersed;

[0014] An inner cylinder rotating mechanism rotatably disposed between the outer cylinder support component and the inner cylinder component, the inner cylinder rotating mechanism being capable of driving the inner cylinder component to rotate relative to the outer cylinder support component, so as to rotate the track fastener to a discharge port position;

[0015] A turning mechanism disposed on the side of the outer cylinder support component provides power for turning the outer cylinder support component and the inner cylinder component;

[0016] And a discharge port opening and closing mechanism arranged at the bottom of the inner cylinder is used to control the rail fastener to fall onto the material distribution device, and the discharge port is also a loading port.

[0017] When bulk material is being processed, the flip mechanism controls the outer barrel support component and the inner barrel component to flip, so that the discharge port is vertically downward. When loading is required, the flip mechanism controls the outer barrel support component and the inner barrel component to flip, so that the discharge port is converted into a loading port and maintains an oblique upward posture for loading.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner cylinder component is connected and installed on the body of the bulk material handling vehicle through the outer cylinder support component. The outer cylinder support component is a circular frame structure composed of a top cover component, an outer frame component and a base component. The top cover component and the base component are both connected to the outer frame component so that the inner cylinder component is installed into the inner part of the outer cylinder support component. Rotating shafts are arranged on both sides of the outer frame component, the top cover component can be movably connected to the inner cylinder component, and the material discharging opening and closing mechanism is arranged on the base component.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner cylinder component includes a connecting plate, a motor connecting seat, a guide column, a connecting rod, a fixed plate and a guide seat. One end of the guide column is inserted into the corresponding hole on the connecting plate and fixedly connected thereto, and the other end of the guide column is a cantilever beam structure to facilitate the loading and unloading of the track fasteners. The connecting plate adopts a circular structure, and the motor connecting seat adopts a cylindrical structure and is connected to the center of the connecting plate, so that the inner cylinder rotating mechanism drives the connecting plate to rotate together after being installed in the motor connecting seat. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the connecting plate, and the other end is connected to the guide seat. The middle part of the connecting rod is fixed by a fixed plate to increase the overall rigidity. The weight of the track fastener loaded on the guide seat is transferred to the outer cylinder bracket component through the connecting rod through the connecting plate.

[0020] Furthermore, by adjusting the shape of the guide column to accommodate the loading of the rail fasteners, the rail fasteners can be neatly arranged on one guide column. The inner cylinder is composed of a plurality of guide columns arranged in a circular array structure to meet the rail fastener loading required by the bulk material handling vehicle.

[0021] Furthermore, the inner cylinder rotating mechanism includes a slewing support, a motor mounting seat, and a first reduction motor mounted on the motor mounting seat.

The opening and closing cylinder is detachably connected to the opening and closing baffle, and the opening and closing baffle is arranged along the circumference of the inner cylinder and is located at the lower part of the guide column. When the material distribution device is aligned below the discharge port, the piston rod of the opening and closing cylinder retracts to the shortest position, driving the opening and closing baffle at the discharge port position to slide toward the direction of the opening and closing cylinder, and the track fasteners on the guide column at this position fall onto the material distribution device of the bulk material operation vehicle. When all the track fasteners on the guide column have fallen, the piston rod of the opening and closing cylinder extends, driving the opening and closing baffle at this position to slide to the maximum position in the direction away from the closing cylinder, and the inner cylinder rotating mechanism rotates to a set angle, so that the adjacent guide column rotates to the discharge port position and starts to drop materials, and the above actions are repeated until all the track fasteners on the guide columns of all rows have fallen.

[0024] Furthermore, a connector is provided at the piston rod end of the cylinder opening and closing cylinder, and a slide groove is provided at the bottom of the connector, and the slide groove is detachably connected to the protrusion on the opening and closing baffle. The protrusion of the opening and closing baffle is driven to rotate in and out of the slide groove of the connector through the inner cylinder rotation mechanism, so as to realize the connection and separation of the opening and closing cylinder and the opening and closing baffle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] As attached Figure 1 To Attachment Fig. 22 As shown, a specific embodiment of the rail fastener storage device and bulk material handling vehicle of the present application is given, and the present application is further explained below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0058] The present application proposes a storage device for spring bars and gauge baffles for railway bulk material operation vehicles and a bulk material operation vehicle. The storage device 10 is composed of an outer cylinder support component 1, an inner cylinder component 2, an inner cylinder rotating device 3, a flipping mechanism 4, and a discharge port opening and closing mechanism 5, which can realize the stable and efficient delivery of spring bars and gauge baffles to the material distribution device 20. In view of the particularity of spring bars and gauge baffles, the storage device 10 designed in the present application has a simple structure, a large storage capacity, and a high operating efficiency, and can realize the continuous material replenishment operation requirements.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the rail fastener storage device of the present application specifically includes:

[0061] An outer cylinder support component 1 and an inner cylinder component 2 are arranged concentrically from outside to inside, and the inner cylinder component 2 adopts a circular rotating array structure for orderly storing the track fasteners 14 to be scattered (the track fasteners 14 are scattered on the sleepers 9);

[0062] An inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 rotatably disposed between the outer cylinder support component 1 and the inner cylinder component 2, the inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 can drive the inner cylinder component 2 to rotate relative to the outer cylinder support component 1, and is used to rotate the track fastener 14 to the discharge port position;

[0063] The turning mechanism 4 arranged on the side of the outer tube support component 1 provides power for turning the outer tube support component 1 and the inner tube component 2;

[0064] The discharge port opening and closing mechanism 5 arranged at the bottom of the inner cylinder component 2 is used to control the track fastener 14 to fall onto the material distribution device 20, and the discharge port 16 is also the loading port.

[0065] The rail fastener 14 mainly includes spring bars and gauge baffles, etc. The inner cylinder component 2 is surrounded by elliptical guide pillars to form a circular array (wherein, the spring bar storage device is surrounded by 40 guide pillars to form a circular array, and the gauge baffle storage device is surrounded by 20 elliptical guide pillars to form a circular array). A single storage device in the prior art can store about 100 pieces of material, while the storage device 10 described in this embodiment can store up to 1760 pieces of material.

[0066] When bulk material is being processed, the flip mechanism 4 controls the outer cylinder support assembly 1 and the inner cylinder assembly 2 to flip, so that the discharge port 16 is vertically downward. When loading is required, the flip mechanism 4 controls the outer cylinder support assembly 1 and the inner cylinder assembly 2 to flip, so that the discharge port 16 is converted into a loading port and maintains an oblique upward posture for loading.

[0067] The inner cylinder assembly 2 is connected and installed to the body of the bulk material handling vehicle 8 through the outer cylinder bracket assembly 1. Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the outer cylinder support component 1 is a circular frame structure composed of a top cover component 11, an outer frame component 12 and a base component 13. The top cover component 11 and the base component 13 are connected to the outer frame component 12 by bolts, and this movable connection method allows the inner cylinder component 2 to be installed into the inner part of the outer cylinder support component 1. Rotating shafts 15 are arranged on both sides of the outer frame component 12, the top cover component 11 can be movably connected to the inner cylinder component 2, and the discharge opening and closing mechanism 5 is arranged on the base component 13.

[0068] The main function of the inner cylinder component 2 is to store the spring bars or gauge baffles in an orderly manner as required. Figure 6 and attached Figure 7As shown, the inner cylinder component 2 further includes a connecting plate 21, a motor connecting seat 22, a guide column 23, a connecting rod 24, a fixing plate 25 and a guide seat 26. One end of the guide column 23 is inserted into the corresponding hole on the connecting plate 21 and fixedly connected thereto, and the other end of the guide column 23 is a cantilever beam structure to facilitate the loading and unloading of the track fastener 14. The connecting plate 21 adopts a circular structure, and the motor connecting seat 22 adopts a cylindrical structure and is connected to the center of the connecting plate 21, so that the inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 is installed in the motor connecting seat 22 and drives the connecting plate 21 to rotate together. One end of the connecting rod 24 is connected to the connecting plate 21, and the other end is connected to the guide seat 26. The middle part of the connecting rod 24 is fixed by a fixing plate 25 to increase the overall rigidity. The weight of the track fastener 14 loaded on the guide seat 26 is transferred to the outer cylinder bracket component 1 through the connecting rod 24 through the connecting plate 21.

[0069] Spring bars and gauge baffles are easy to disperse, resulting in uneven storage. The rail fastener storage device described in Example 1 adapts to the loading of rail fasteners 14 by adjusting the shape of the guide column 23, so that the rail fasteners 14 can be neatly arranged on a guide column 23. The inner cylinder component 2 is provided with a plurality of guide columns 23 arranged in a circular array structure to meet the rail fastener loading capacity required by the bulk material operation vehicle 8. A plurality of guide columns 23 are arranged along the circumference of the inner cylinder component 2 to form a circular array. The entire inner cylinder component 2 is provided with 20 guide columns 23, all of which are arranged in an array, to meet the fastener (i.e., spring bars) loading capacity required by the bulk material operation vehicle 8. The function of the 10 connecting rods 24 is to bear the weight of the material, transfer the weight to the connecting plate 21, and then transfer it to the outer frame component 12. The function of the fixed plate 25 is to increase the rigidity of the inner cylinder component 2 when it rotates.

[0070] As attached Figure 8 As shown, the inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 further includes a slewing support 31, a motor mounting seat 32, and a first reduction motor 33 mounted on the motor mounting seat 32. The inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 provides power for the rotation of the inner cylinder component 2, so as to rotate the track fasteners 14 loaded on the guide column 23 to the discharge port position in sequence. The top cover component 11 is movably connected to the inner cylinder component 2 through the slewing support 31, and the inner cylinder component 2 can rotate under the action of the first reduction motor 33 when the outer cylinder support component 1 is fixed.

[0071] The turning mechanism 4 further includes a second reduction motor 41 and two bearing seats 7. The second reduction motor 41 is mounted on the rotating shaft 15 through the bearing seats 7. The second reduction motor 41 provides power for the outer cylinder support component 1 and the inner cylinder component 2 to turn over together, so as to realize the storage device 10 in the working state (such as the attached Fig. 9 A in the figure shows the working position) and the loading status (see the attached Fig.10 B in the figure shows the loading position) to switch between them.

[0072] As attached Fig.11 , 12 As shown in Figure 13, the material discharging opening and closing mechanism 5 further includes an opening and closing cylinder 51 and an opening and closing baffle 52, which are used to control whether the track fastener 14 on the guide column 23 falls onto the material distributing device 20 of the bulk material operation vehicle 8. The opening and closing cylinder 51 is detachably connected to the opening and closing baffle 53, which is arranged along the circumference of the inner cylinder component 2 and located at the lower part of the guide column 23, and adopts a circular matrix structure like the guide column 23. When the material distributing device 20 is aligned to the bottom of the material discharging port 16, the piston rod of the opening and closing cylinder 51 retracts to the shortest position, driving the opening and closing baffle 52 at the material discharging port position to slide toward the direction of the opening and closing cylinder 51, and the track fastener 14 on the guide column 23 at this position falls onto the material distributing device of the bulk material operation vehicle. When all the track fasteners 14 on the guide column 23 have fallen, the piston rod of the opening and closing cylinder 51 extends, driving the opening and closing baffle 52 at this position to slide to the maximum position in the direction away from the closing cylinder 51, and the inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 rotates the set angle to make the adjacent guide column 23 rotate to the discharge port position and start to drop the material, and the above action is repeated until all the track fasteners 14 on all rows of guide columns 23 have fallen.

[0073] As attached Fig.12 As shown, a connector 53 is further provided at the piston rod end of the cylinder opening and closing cylinder 51, and a slide groove 54 is provided at the bottom of the connector 53, and the slide groove 54 is detachably connected to the protrusion 55 on the opening and closing baffle 51. The protrusion 55 of the opening and closing baffle 53 is driven to rotate in and out of the slide groove 54 of the connector 53 by the inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3, so as to realize the connection and separation between the opening and closing cylinder 51 and the opening and closing baffle 53.

The inner cylinder component 2 is provided with a plurality of guide columns 23 arranged in a circular array structure, and the discharge opening and closing mechanism 5 includes an opening and closing cylinder 51 and an opening and closing baffle 52. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0079] S2) opening the opening and closing baffle 52 at the position of the discharge port 16 by controlling the opening and closing cylinder 51, loading the rail fasteners 14 on the guide column 23 at the position of the discharge port 16 in an orderly manner until the guide column 23 is full (e.g., 88 pieces), and then controlling the opening and closing cylinder 51 to close the opening and closing baffle 52 at the position of the discharge port 16;

[0080] S3) controlling the inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 to rotate the inner cylinder assembly 2 by a set angle (e.g., 18°) so that the track fastener 14 on the adjacent guide column 23 rotates to the position of the discharge port 16;

The connecting rod 24 transfers the weight of the track fastener 14 loaded on the guide seat 26 to the outer cylinder bracket component 1 through the connecting plate 21.

[0093] The shape of the guide column 23 is adjusted to accommodate the loading of the rail fasteners 14, so that the rail fasteners 14 can be neatly arranged on one guide column 23. A plurality of guide columns 23 arranged in a circular array structure are provided in the inner cylinder component 2 to meet the rail fastener loading required by the bulk material handling vehicle 8. A plurality of guide columns 23 are arranged along the circumference of the inner cylinder component 2 to form a circular array.

[0094] The inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 further includes a slewing support 31, a motor mounting seat 32, and a first reduction motor 33 mounted on the motor mounting seat 32. The inner cylinder rotating mechanism 3 provides power for the rotation of the inner cylinder component 2, so that the track fasteners 14 loaded on the guide column 23 are rotated to the discharge port position in sequence. The top cover component 11 is movably connected to the inner cylinder component 2 through the slewing support 31, and the inner cylinder component 2 can rotate under the action of the first reduction motor 33 when the outer cylinder support component 1 is fixed.

[0095] The flipping mechanism 4 further includes a second reduction motor 41 and two bearing seats 7, and the second reduction motor 41 is installed on the rotating shaft 15 through the bearing seats 7.
