Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of locomotive manufacturing, and in particular to a coupler assembly device and method. Background Art
[0002] The coupler is an important component for connecting the locomotive and the vehicle or between the vehicles. It plays an important role in coupling, traction and buffering when the locomotive is running. The coupler is composed of a hook body and a hook head. The hook head is mainly used to connect the vehicle, the hook body is used to transmit traction and impact force, the hook tail is used to install the hook tail frame, and the hook cavity is equipped with hook tongue, hook tongue pin, hook lock iron, hook tongue push iron, hook lifting pin and other accessories. Through the interaction of these accessories, the coupler has three action positions: locked, unlocked and fully opened to complete the function of vehicle coupling and separation. The hook body, hook cavity, hook tongue, hook lock and other small parts of the hook cavity are complex in shape and are all cast. The shape and size accuracy cannot be compared with machined parts. TB / T 456.2 "Automatic Coupler Buffer Device for Locomotives and Vehicles Part 2: Automatic Coupler and Accessories" clearly requires that the hook cavity assembly must ensure normal operation, the parts of the same type of couplers should be interchangeable, the hook tongues and hook cavity small parts of different types of couplers should be interchangeable, and the three-state action inspection and anti-jump performance inspection must be carried out. In order to meet the above requirements, improve assembly accuracy and reliability, facilitate the disassembly, installation and replacement of parts during the assembly process, and highly simulate the actual situation of the locomotive, it is necessary to design a new and practical coupler assembly method and device.
[0003] Existing 102 type top-acting coupler assembly workflow:
[0004] Lift the 102-type coupler hook body to the front of the workbench, align the tail of the hook body with the workbench fixed frame, insert the tail of the hook body into the fixed frame, the lower plane of the hook tail sits on the bearing platform, and insert the fixing pin. After confirming that the hook body is stable, withdraw the sling.
[0005] Assemble the coupler, install the small parts of the hook cavity into the hook body cavity, lift the locking pin by hand after assembly, check the opening and closing status of the coupler, and use standard templates to test each test point of the coupler. After each test point is qualified, paste the coupler QR code and draw the center line.
[0006] After the assembly process is completed, the hook is lifted steadily off the assembly table. During this process, care must be taken to prevent any bumps on the processed surface.
[0007] The existing coupler transfer process has the following disadvantages:
[0008] (1) The current coupler has no dedicated assembly device, and the operating table is low. When installing small parts in the hook cavity and testing the sample, the operator needs to squat, which makes assembly difficult.
[0009] (2) The current support and fixing mechanism of the hook operating platform is relatively simple. If the operator fails to place and adjust it properly during lifting, the hook head will sink slightly and the hook tail will tilt slightly, which may easily cause the subsequent center line to be distorted. At the same time, the fixing pin will be stuck on the lower inner wall edge of the hook tail hole bushing, and it cannot be fully positioned after placement. If a large shake occurs during assembly, the inner wall edge of the hook tail hole bushing will be worn.
[0010] (3) After the assembly inspection in the factory and after installation on the locomotive, the operator needs to confirm that the three-state status of the coupler is good, namely unlocked, fully open, and locked. After installation on the locomotive, the operator will use a complete set of coupler lifting rod mechanisms used when the locomotive is coupled to complete the three-state inspection of the coupler. However, when inspecting on the current assembly table, because there is no lifting rod mechanism, the operator will lift the locking pin assembly by hand to complete the three-state process inspection. Compared with the manual lifting of the locking pin assembly inspection, when using the coupler lifting rod inspection, an angled force will be applied to the locking pin assembly, and the two inspection environments will be different. There is a probability that the inspection on the assembly table will pass, but when it is installed on the locomotive to simulate actual use inspection, the unlocking is stuck, there is no unlocking state, etc., which affects the quality of the coupler.

[0058] Example 1
[0059] The present invention provides a coupler assembly device. By designing a new coupler assembly device, the difficulty of coupler assembly is reduced, the assembly accuracy and reliability are improved, and the disassembly, installation and replacement of parts are facilitated during the assembly process, the accuracy of coupler inspection is improved, the actual situation of the locomotive is highly simulated, and the production efficiency and quality are both improved.
[0060] The coupler assembly device of the present invention is composed of three parts: an assembly platform body, a positioning support mechanism, and a coupler lifting rod mechanism:
[0061] 1. The main body of the assembly table is welded from 19 pieces of 8-10mm thick steel plates. It plays the role of carrying the hook and installing the other two mechanisms. Because the weight of the hook after assembly reaches 230KG, the weight is large, and the impact force is inevitable during hoisting, the welding edge of each plate opens a 45° welding groove to ensure the strength of the main body after welding. The corresponding positions of each plate reserve bolt mounting holes for the other two parts. In order to reduce the difficulty of assembly, the height of the assembly table is increased. When the hook is assembled, the hook head is heavy and the overall tendency is forward. In the inspection link, the lifting rod needs to be rotated frequently, and the shaking is large. In order to avoid overturning, the length of the two side tripods is increased. The length after the increase is 0.9 meters, and the front end of the hook head is 0.5 meters. At the same time, the lower end of the front plate is not hollowed out to reduce weight to lower the center of gravity of the main body, increase the weight of the main body, and ensure stable assembly.
[0062] 2. The positioning support mechanism consists of a hook bracket 12, a tail hanging plate 14 and a tail hole fixing pin 23. The hook bracket 12 is bolted to the reserved hole of the assembly platform body, the tail hanging plate 14 is welded to the assembly platform body, and the tail hole fixing pin 23 is an independent part. When hoisting the hook, the inner gear of the tail of the hook 13 needs to be aligned with the upper and lower tail hanging plates 14 and slowly pushed to the bottom, and the hook body is placed on the hook bracket 12. After it is stable, the tail hole fixing pin 23 is inserted into the tail hole of the hook. At this time, the hook is completely positioned and will not be displaced. In order to adapt to the slight changes in the hook body size caused by casting tolerances, the surface of the hook bracket 12 is covered with a thin rubber to avoid wear.
[0063] 3. The hook lifting rod mechanism (hook traction buffer device) is composed of a base plate 17, a vertical plate 18, a left lifting rod 19, a right lifting rod 21, a lifting ring 20, and a lifting ring 22. The vertical plate 18 is welded to the base plate 17, and the base plate 17 is connected to the front plate 9 of the assembly table body by bolts. After the left lifting rod 19, the right lifting rod 21, the lifting ring 20, and the lifting ring 22 are assembled, they are inserted into the holes of the vertical plate 18. In this embodiment, the base plate 17 and the vertical plate 18 are provided with four groups, two groups on the left and two groups on the left. This hook lifting rod mechanism completely simulates the real hook state when the hook is connected. When checking the three states, the lifting ring 22 is connected to the locking pin of the hook 13 by bolts, and the left and right lifting rods are rotated to open and close the hook 13.
[0064] The present invention hoists the hook body (hook 13) into the assembly device through the hoist, inserts the rear end of the hook body into the two tail hanging plates 14 of the assembly device, hangs the hook body on the hook bracket 12, inserts the tail hole fixing pin 23, removes the hoist, and then assembles the hook. After the assembly is completed, the lifting ring 22 is connected to the locking pin through bolts, and the left and right lifting rods are rotated to perform a three-state action inspection, and other inspections are performed. After the inspection is qualified, the hook 13 is hoisted and removed.
[0065] Taking the assembly process of the 102 type coupler 13 as an example, it specifically includes:
[0066] Step 1: Lift the hook body and place it on the assembly workbench (assembly device) to assemble the coupler;
[0067] Step 2: Press-fit the hook ear hole bushing and the hook tail pin bushing;
[0068] Step 3: Place the hook body cavity rotating template into the hook body, push against the inserted pin, and check the clearance between the upper and lower traction flanges of the hook body and the template, and the clearance between the upper and lower impact shoulders and the template;
[0069] Step 4: Apply dry grease to the contact area between the hook cavity and the small part of the hook cavity;
[0070] Step 5: Place the hook tongue push iron, place the hook lock, and install the locking pin assembly to connect it with the hook lock and the hook body;
[0071] Step 6. Lift the locking pin to assemble, drive the hook lock to sit on the locking surface of the hook tongue push iron seat, rotate the hook tongue push iron to stick to the hook tongue bearing wall, screw in the hook tongue, and install the hook tongue pin;
[0072] Step 7: Open and close the coupler repeatedly during assembly to ensure smooth opening and closing;
[0073] Step 8, three-state action inspection: Use your hand to turn the lifting rod steadily and continuously, the hook tongue should reach the fully open position, use your hand to push the hook tongue nose steadily and continuously, the hook tongue should turn to the fully closed state and the hook lock should smoothly fall to the locked position. At this time, the coupler is in the anti-jump protection state. Lift the locking pin by hand to raise the hook lock in the locked position above the tail of the hook tongue. During this process, the hook tongue should not turn and the coupler is still in the locked position. When the locking pin is released to make the hook lock fall, the hook lock should be located on the front top surface of the lock seat of the hook tongue push iron. At this time, pull the inner wrist of the hook tongue, and the hook tongue should be able to freely turn to the fully open position;
[0074] Step 9, anti-jump performance inspection: insert a special tool between the hook lock leg and the front wall of the lock hole under the hook body, and place the hook lock leg at the required position against the hook body. At the same time, insert a crowbar between the lock surface of the front seat of the hook lock and the hook tongue support, and pry up the hook lock. Do not open the lock. Check that the gaps at each position are qualified and the special gauge is smooth.
