Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rail vehicles, and in particular to a width control device and method for an aluminum alloy vehicle body door frame structure. Background Art

[0002] The door frame structure of the high-speed EMU is arranged at both ends of the side wall and is welded together by the door column profile and the side wall profile. Due to the asymmetry of the welding position, the welding shrinkage deformation and angular deformation of the door frame during the welding process cause the door frame width to be out of tolerance and cannot meet the standard requirements for the door frame width.

[0003] At present, the commonly used measures to suppress the deformation of welded structures include: optimizing welding parameters, rigid constraint method, anti-deformation method, etc. Among them, the rigid constraint method mostly adopts the method of setting a support rod between two door columns. Although the arrangement of multiple support rods can provide certain rigid constraints, there is a lack of coordination between the support rods, and there is still a certain deformation during the welding process. In addition, most of the support rods are connected with the columns by a conflict, which may further aggravate the deformation during the welding process. Summary of the invention

[0033] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0034] As introduced in the background art, most existing rigid constraint methods adopt a method of setting a support rod between two door columns. There is still a certain deformation during the welding process, and the friction connection may further aggravate the deformation during the welding process.

[0035] In view of this, the present implementation provides a width control device for an aluminum alloy vehicle door frame structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, it comprises: a frame structure 1 (which can be assembled and welded by aluminum alloy tube profiles), a first connecting member 2 and a second connecting member 3 located on one side of the frame structure, and a third connecting member 4 and a fourth connecting member 5 located on the other side of the frame structure, wherein the first connecting member 2, the second connecting member 3, the third connecting member 4 and the fourth connecting member 5 are all adjustable in length, and the ends are all detachably connected with an aluminum plate 9;

[0036] The first connecting member 2 and the second connecting member 3 are used to be fixedly connected to the column on one side of the door frame through the corresponding aluminum plate 9, and the third connecting member 4 and the fourth connecting member 6 are used to be connected to the column on the other side of the door frame through the corresponding aluminum plate 9.

[0037] In this implementation, the aluminum plate 9 is designed to achieve a reliable and stable connection with the aluminum alloy column (no need for a conflicting connection, i.e., no need to apply excessive extrusion pressure), thereby better achieving high-precision control of the width.

[0038] In this implementation, preferably, the frame structure 1 is rectangular, the first connecting member 2 and the second connecting member 3 are located on one side of the rectangular frame structure, and the third connecting member 4 and the fourth connecting member 5 are located on the other side of the rectangular frame structure.

[0039] In this implementation, further optionally, a reinforcing rod (which may be a solid rod or a hollow tube) is connected in the middle of the rectangular frame structure, and the reinforcing rod and the connecting rod (which may be a solid rod or a hollow tube) of the frame structure 1 divide the interior of the frame structure 1 into multiple triangular areas.

[0040] In this implementation, after being divided into triangular areas, the overall structure of the frame structure 1 is stable, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent width control (no need to adjust the frame structure, only the extension mechanism needs to be adjusted).

[0041] In this implementation, preferably, the frame structure 1 is made of aluminum alloy, and the frame structure 1 is welded by aluminum alloy tubes or aluminum alloy solid rods. The use of aluminum alloy reduces weight, can be more conveniently arranged between the left and right door pillars, is not easy to rust, and avoids wear and tear caused by long-term repeated use.

[0042] In this implementation, preferably, the first connecting member, the second connecting member, the third connecting member and the fourth connecting member have the same structure. Figure 2 As shown, all include:

[0043] Screw sleeve 6, adjusting screw 7, connecting plate 8 and aluminum plate 9, the screw sleeve 6 is used to be fixed inside the frame structure 1, one end of the adjusting screw 7 is threadedly connected to the screw sleeve 6 (the adjusting screw 7 and the screw sleeve 6 are threadedly engaged to ensure the adjustable length), the other end of the adjusting screw 7 is connected to the connecting plate 8, the connecting plate 8 is connected to the aluminum plate 9, and the aluminum plate 9 is used to be connected to the column of the door frame.

[0044] In this implementation, preferably, the aluminum plate 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 8 by bolts or screws. Through the above design, the adjusting screw 7 can achieve stable elongation control, and the connecting plate 8 and the aluminum plate 9 are detachably connected. After use, the aluminum plate can be forcibly removed, and only the aluminum plate needs to be replaced when it is used again, which is low in cost.

[0045] In the present implementation, it is further optional that the screw sleeve 6 is inserted into the connecting rod of the frame structure 1, and the screw sleeve 6 is fixed to the connecting rod by bolts or screws; or, the screw sleeve is inserted into the connecting tube of the frame structure 1, and the screw sleeve 6 is fixed to the connecting tube by bolts or screws. This insertion connection method can ensure the relative stability of the screw sleeve 6 and the frame structure 1, and ensure the stability during use.

[0046] In this implementation, preferably, the connecting plate 8 is a steel plate, and the other end of the adjusting screw 7 is welded and fixed to the connecting plate 8. The welding and fixing of the connecting plate 8 and the adjusting screw 7 can ensure that there will be no slipping or loosening during subsequent width control, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the width control.

[0047] In this implementation, optionally, after the first connecting member 2, the second connecting member 3, the third connecting member 4, and the fourth connecting member 5 are respectively connected to the corresponding door frame columns, the connecting line of the ends of the first connecting member 2, the second connecting member 3, the third connecting member 4, and the fourth connecting member 5 is a parallelogram or a rectangle.

[0048] The present implementation also provides a method for controlling the width of an aluminum alloy vehicle door frame structure, using the aluminum alloy vehicle door frame structure width control device of the present invention, comprising the following process:

[0049] According to the door frame structure and width dimension requirements, the aluminum alloy vehicle door frame structure width control device is installed between the two upright posts of the door frame;

[0051] After the door frame assembly welding is completed, the aluminum plate 9 is removed from the door frame column, and the aluminum alloy vehicle body door frame structure width control device is removed.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
