Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of locomotive maintenance, in particular to a locomotive roof maintenance method. Background Art
[0002] The car body is one of the main mechanical components of an electric locomotive. It is a welded, integral load-bearing structure consisting of an underframe, side structures, driver's cab, and rear end wall. Four removable roof covers are located on top. The roof covers are bolted to the car body, and the car body and roof covers must be separated during locomotive maintenance.
[0003] Current maintenance methods for locomotive roof: (1) Disassembly of the bolts connecting the top cover and the car body: When the locomotive is disassembled at the first level, the bolts connecting the top cover and the car body are removed; (2) Lifting the top cover off the vehicle and disassembling the top cover components under the vehicle: When the locomotive is transferred to the second-level disassembly of the locomotive, the top cover is directly lifted off the vehicle and placed on the top cover equipment disassembly platform, and then the top cover equipment disassembly process is completed under the vehicle at the top cover disassembly platform; (3) Top cover buffer: When the locomotive wire tube is dismantled and the car body is sanded, the top cover is buffered in the buffer position; (4) Overhaul of the top cover and hoisting of the top cover back to the vehicle body: When the vehicle body is overhauled, the top cover is overhauled on the overhaul platform, mainly for deformation, attachments and undisassembled accessories. After the overhaul is completed, it is hoisted back to the vehicle body and buckled on top of the vehicle body; (5) Top cover painting: The top cover is painted in the paint warehouse along with the vehicle. The top cover is painted by roller coating, and the bottom cover is painted along with the vehicle interior by spraying. (6) Lifting the top cover off the vehicle, installing the top cover components under the vehicle, and hoisting the top cover: After the locomotive is painted, it is transferred to the locomotive for assembly. The top cover is lifted off the vehicle and placed on the top cover buffer station; the top cover is lifted to the component assembly station, and after the top cover under-vehicle component assembly process is completed, the top cover is hoisted.
[0004] The existing roof cover maintenance plan has defects: when the car body and the roof cover are sandblasted and painted, the car body and the roof cover are in a connected state, and the connecting part of the car body and the roof cover is in a tightly attached state. Sandblasting and painting cannot repair the connecting part, causing the car body and the roof cover to continue to rust; during the use of the locomotive, the roof cover and the car body have abnormal phenomena such as rust and paint peeling. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a locomotive roof maintenance method to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a locomotive roof maintenance method, comprising the following steps: (1) Disassembly of the bolts connecting the top cover and the car body: When the locomotive is disassembled at the first level, the bolts connecting the top cover and the car body are removed; (2) Lifting the top cover off the vehicle: When the locomotive is transferred to the second-level dismantling of the locomotive, the top cover is directly lifted off the vehicle and placed on the top cover equipment disassembly platform; (3) Top cover support fixture installation: Install the top cover support fixture on both sides of the top of the vehicle body; (4) Disassembly of top cover components under the vehicle: When the locomotive wire tube is disassembled, the top cover is disassembled at the top cover disassembly station to complete the disassembly process of the top cover equipment under the vehicle; (5) Lift the top cover back to the vehicle body: Lift the top cover back to the vehicle body and buckle it on top of the vehicle body; (6) Sandblasting of vehicle body; (7) The top cover is hoisted off the vehicle; (8) Top cover inspection: When the vehicle body is inspected, the top cover is inspected at the inspection station, and deformation, attachments and undisassembled accessories are inspected; (9) Hoist the top cover back to the vehicle body: After the top cover inspection is completed, hoist the top cover back to the vehicle body and buckle it above the vehicle body; (10) Top cover painting: The top cover is painted in the paint warehouse along with the vehicle. The top cover is painted by roller coating, and the bottom cover is painted along with the vehicle interior by spraying. (11) Lifting and unloading of the top cover: After the locomotive is painted, it is transported to the locomotive assembly plant and the top cover is lifted and unloaded and placed on the top cover buffer station; (12) Installation of top cover components under the vehicle: the top cover is hoisted to the component assembly platform; (13) Disassembly of the top cover support tooling; (14) Top cover hoisting: After completing the assembly process of the top cover undercarriage parts, the top cover is hoisted.
[0007] As an improvement, the top cover supporting tooling includes a column, a screw seat provided at the lower end of the column, a pad provided at the upper end of the column and a skirt provided on the outer wall of the column.
[0008] As an improvement, the screw seat of the top cover support tooling is threadedly connected to the vehicle body, the pad of the top cover support tooling contacts the bottom surface of the top cover, and the skirt of the top cover support tooling contacts the reinforcing beam at the bottom of the top cover, and the top cover is limited by the top cover support tooling on both sides.
[0009] The beneficial effects brought by the present invention compared with the prior art are: A top cover sandblasting process is added, and the top cover is sandblasted together with the car body. The top cover and the top of the driver's cab top cover are sandblasted. When the top cover is buckled back into the car body, a top cover supporting tooling is added. When sandblasting, the rusted parts of the lower edge of the top cover can be sandblasted. When the car body is painted, the lower edge of the top cover and the top of the car body side wall are sprayed with paint; a top cover supporting tooling is designed, and the tooling has the function of fixing the connection between the top cover and the car body to ensure the synchronous operation, sandblasting and painting of the top cover and the car body; a process method for synchronous sandblasting and painting of the top cover and the car body is designed to improve the maintenance efficiency of the locomotive and reduce the need for maintenance space.
