[0002] The existing patents disclose the following technologies related to railway freight car roofs:
[0003] The patent with publication number CN208993689U and patent name "A railway freight car roof and railway freight car" discloses the following content: The railway freight car roof includes a cover body that is symmetrically arranged on the top of the railway freight car body and can be opened or closed in the form of left and right swinging. The cover body is formed by integral extrusion of hollow aluminum profiles, and includes a straight portion and an arc portion on a section perpendicular to the length direction of the railway freight car. The straight portion is located in the inner area of the cover body, and the arc portion is located in the outer area of the cover body. The roof can effectively prevent environmental pollution, and has good processability, high reliability, light weight, high strength and good rigidity.
[0004] The patent with the publication number CN113147817A and the patent name "A railway freight car roof device and railway freight car" discloses the following content: It solves the technical problems of complex structure and high cost of railway freight car roof devices in the prior art. The roof device includes a fixed cover plate, which is fixedly connected to the cargo box opening of the freight car, and a loading port is opened on the fixed cover plate; a movable cover plate is slidably installed at the loading port; a hand-held part is arranged on the movable cover plate, which is used to drive the movable cover plate to slide to open and close the loading port; a first locking part is installed between the movable cover plate and the fixed cover plate; when the movable cover plate closes the loading port, the movable cover plate is locked to the fixed cover plate by the first locking part. With the help of the hand-held part, the user can manually control the movable cover plate to slide at the loading port of the roof device of this structure, and the structure is simpler, the cost is lower, and it is easy to operate. The railway freight car adopts the above-mentioned railway freight car roof device, so the structure of the railway freight car is simpler and the cost is lower.
[0005] When the railway freight car top cover disclosed in the above patent and the existing railway grain, flour hopper cars and other railway fine-grain freight cars are loaded with grain, the moving distance of a single rectangular loading port cover is only about 2.5m, and the total length of the loading port is about 5m. The total length of the loading port only accounts for about 30% of the length of the roof, and it is discontinuous, and the grain loading efficiency is not high. The rectangular top cover is driven by a pneumatic motor, a sprocket, a transmission chain, etc., and is provided with tracks, pulleys, etc. There are many types and quantities of parts, the driving device structure is complex, and the product cost is high. When the sliding track is deformed or the roller bearing is corroded, the top cover will be stuck, which is inconvenient to use and the maintenance cost will increase accordingly.
