The use of "first" and "second" in the description is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly specifying the order of the indicated technical features.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The bottom covering structure of a train bogie of an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: a guide assembly, including two symmetrically arranged guide units, the guide unit including a first driving component and a guide plate 120, the first driving component driving the guide plate 120 to reciprocate up and down; a protective assembly, including two symmetrically arranged protective units, the protective unit is arranged on the guide plate 120 and is located between the two guide plates 120, the protective unit includes a second driving component 210 and a bottom plate 220, the two second driving components 210 drive the two bottom plates 220 to move away from or close to each other so that the two bottom plates 220 are connected or separated.

[0029] Before the train departs, the second drive component 210 drives the bottom plates 220 to extend and move closer together. The two bottom plates 220 dock and, in conjunction with the two guide plates 120, form a wrapping structure around the train's bogie area. This prevents incoming air from entering the bottom, reduces turbulent air flow at the bottom, and improves travel efficiency. Furthermore, the structure can be combined with the train's skirts to create a fully enclosed structure around the bogie area at the bottom of the train, further enhancing drag reduction and flow diversion, further improving travel efficiency. Expanding the bottom plates 220 also prevents debris from being drawn into the bogie, improving driving safety. Furthermore, when the train enters the station for maintenance and overhaul, the second drive component 210 drives the two bottom plates 220 to separate and retract. The first drive component then drives the guide plates 120 upward, storing the guide plates 120 and protective components at the bottom of the train for automatic recovery, facilitating train maintenance and parts replacement.

[0030] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 The guide plate 120 includes a first connecting plate 121 and a second connecting plate 122. The first connecting plate 121 is connected to the second connecting plate 122. The first connecting plate 121 and the second connecting plate 122 intersect to form a sharp angle. The guide plate 120 forms a wedge-shaped guide structure. When the train is running, the wedge-shaped surface blocks the bottom accelerated airflow from flowing through the bogie part, reducing the resistance of the train and improving driving efficiency.

[0031] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1The first drive component includes a hydraulic drive component 110 and a first slide rail (not shown in the drawings). The deflector 120 is slidably connected to the first slide rail, and the movable end of the hydraulic drive component 110 is connected to the deflector 120. The hydraulic component drives the deflector 120 to move up and down. The deflector 120 can move vertically up and down or tilted upward and downward along the slide rail. During use, the hydraulic drive component drives the deflector 120 downward along the slide rail, and then the second drive component 210 drives the bottom plate 220 to extend to form a covering structure. When the train needs to enter the station for maintenance, the second drive component 210 drives the bottom plate 220 to move and retract the bottom plate 220. Then, the first drive component drives the deflector 120 upward again, and the deflector 120 and the protective component are stored at the bottom of the train, making it easier for relevant personnel to inspect the train.

[0032] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The base plate 220 includes a plurality of chain links 221, which are hinged in sequence to form the base plate 220. The second drive component 210 includes a motor 211 and a rotating shaft 212. One end of the base plate 220 is wound around the rotating shaft 212. The motor 211 drives the rotating shaft 212 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 212 to reel in or extend from the base plate 220. The chain links 221 are hinged to each other. When the base plate 220 is disconnected, the motor 211 drives the rotating shaft 212 to rotate, and the base plate 220 is retracted like a scroll. The base plate 220 is reeled onto the rotating shaft 212, saving space and facilitating maintenance of the train.

[0033] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The chain links 221 are provided with flat surfaces 224 on both sides, and the flat surfaces 224 of two adjacent chain links 221 are aligned. The upper side of the chain links 221 is provided with a circular arc portion 222, and the hinge axis of the chain links 221 is located near the upper side. When the base plate 220 is rolled up, the chain links 221 can be rolled up. The lower side of the chain links 221 is provided with a right-angle portion 223. When unfolded, the flat surfaces 224 of two adjacent chain links 221 are aligned. The lower right-angle portion 223 prevents the chain links 221 from rotating downward, thereby preventing the base plate 220 from bending downward.

[0034] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3The protective assembly also includes a locking component, which includes a snap-on piece 231 and a snap-on knot 232. The snap-on piece 231 is hinged on one of the base plates 220, and the snap-on knot 232 is telescopically disposed on the other base plate 220. The snap-on piece 231 can be snapped with the snap-on knot 232 to dock the two base plates 220. The snap-on piece 231 has a slot 233, and the snap-on knot 232 passes through the slot 233 and snaps into the snap-on piece 231. The second driving component 210 drives the bottom plate 220 to extend, and the end of the snap piece 231 is provided with an arc-shaped guide portion. When the two bottom plates 220 are docked, the snap piece 231 and the snap knot 232 are extended and contacted, so that the snap knot 232 slides relatively along the arc-shaped portion, driving the snap piece 231 to rotate in the vertical plane 224 until the snap knot 232 falls into the slot 233, completing the engagement between the snap piece 231 and the snap knot 232, and connecting the bottom plates 220 on both sides together, thereby improving the docking stability of the two bottom plates 220 and forming an overall covering.

[0035] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the two bottom plates 220 are separated, the electromagnet drives the buckle knot 232 to retract into the chain link 221, and the buckle knot 232 can be disengaged from the slot 233, releasing the buckle connection between the buckle piece 231 and the buckle knot 232, unlocking the two bottom plates 220, and the two bottom plates 220 can be reeled up.

[0036] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protective assembly includes a gripping device 300, which is arranged between the two guide plates 120. The gripping device 300 includes a mounting frame 320 and a gripping hand. The mounting frame 320 is connected to the train, and the gripping hand is arranged on the mounting frame 320, with the gripping hand facing the bottom plate 220. The motor 211 drives the rotating shaft 212 to rotate. The rotating shaft 212 rotates to extend the bottom plates 220, and the two bottom plates 220 approach the gripping device. The two bottom plates 220 extend into the gripping hand, and then the gripping hand clamps the bottom plates 220, so that the bottom plates 220 maintain balance, improve the success rate of the two bottom plates 220 docking, and prevent the two bottom plates 220 from disconnecting during driving, further improving the connection stability of the two bottom plates 220.

[0037] It is also understandable that, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clamping hand includes two upper and lower distributed clamping plates 311, the two clamping plates 311 are hinged to the mounting frame 320, and the two clamping hands are symmetrically arranged. After the base plate 220 is inserted into the clamping hand, it passes between the two clamping plates 311, so that the clamping hand avoids the docking of the two base plates 220.

[0038] Reference Figure 4A train according to a second embodiment of the present invention includes the train bogie bottom covering structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention, which is installed beneath the bogie. Before the train departs, the second drive component 210 drives the bottom plates 220 to extend and move closer together. The two bottom plates 220 mate with each other and, in conjunction with the two deflectors 120, form a covering structure around the bogie area. This prevents incoming air from entering the bottom, reduces turbulent air flow, and improves travel efficiency. Furthermore, the structure can be combined with the train's skirt to fully enclose the bogie area beneath the train, further enhancing drag reduction and airflow diversion, further improving travel efficiency. Deploying the bottom plates 220 also prevents debris from being drawn into the bogie, improving driving safety. Furthermore, when the train enters a station for maintenance and inspection, the second drive component 210 drives the two bottom plates 220 to separate and retract. The first drive component then drives the deflectors 120 upward, storing the deflectors 120 and the protective assembly beneath the train for automatic recovery, facilitating train maintenance and part replacement.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the scope of the present invention.
