Description

Technical Field

[0002] The wheelset is the part of the rolling stock that contacts the rails. It consists of two wheels securely mounted on a single axle. The wheelset ensures the rolling stock's operation and steering on the rails, bearing all static and dynamic loads from the rolling stock and transferring these loads to the rails. It also transfers loads caused by track irregularities to various rolling stock components. Furthermore, the wheelset also controls the rolling stock's drive and braking.

[0003] After the left and right gears are assembled, the gear phase angle, gear hub inner distance, gear rim inner distance and left and right symmetry deviation must be adjusted to meet the process requirements (such as Figure 2 ).

[0004] When adjusting, first inject high-pressure oil (≤200 MPA) into the oil filling hole of the gear to allow the gear to rotate and move easily.

[0005] The following shortcomings still exist when making actual adjustments: 1. After the high-pressure oil is injected into the gear, it often moves outward due to the direction of the oil injection hole. It is impossible to accurately control the distance of the inner movement, making adjustment difficult; 2. Measurement is required before adjusting the gear hub inside distance and gear rim inside distance. However, when using the wheelset inside distance gauge during the measurement process, it is difficult to maintain its levelness, resulting in limited measurement accuracy.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 、 Figure 11 The present invention relates to an adjustment device for use in the field of locomotive wheel maintenance. The device comprises a base 1 and an axle 2 located above the base 1. Two gears 3 are sheathed on the outer wall of the axle 2. The inner walls of these two gears 3 are each provided with an oil groove 4. Oil filling holes 5 are provided on the sides of the two gears 3 that are adjacent to each other. The oil filling holes 5 are connected to the adjacent oil grooves 4. In this way, high-pressure oil can be injected into the oil grooves 4 through the oil filling holes 5 to adjust the position of the gears 3 on the axle 2.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 、 Figure 11 Two clamping plates 24 are slidably connected to the top of the base 1. These two clamping plates 24 are used to clamp the ends of the axle 2 to ensure the stability of the axle 2 during adjustment. A support platform 21 is provided above the base 1. This support platform 21 is used to lift the axle 2 and the gear 3 on it upwards to facilitate subsequent operations and adjustments.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 11 In order to limit the gear 3, the device also includes two thrust tubes 12, which are respectively located on both sides of the top of the wheel shaft 2, and are used to limit the side where the two gears 3 are away from each other, ensuring that the gear 3 will not deviate to both sides during the adjustment process.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 In order to measure the inner distance between the gear rim and the gear hub, the device further includes two measuring cylinders 32, both of which are located on one side of the support platform 21. Through these two measuring cylinders 32, the inner distance between the gear rim and the gear hub between the two gears 3 can be accurately measured.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to achieve the limitation of one side of the gear 3, the present device is provided with a set of blocking structures at both ends of the wheel axle 2. This set of blocking structures includes a load-bearing plate 6 arranged at one end of the wheel axle 2, and a fastening bolt 7 is passed through the load-bearing plate 6. One end of the fastening bolt 7 is threadedly connected to the wheel axle 2, thereby fixing the load-bearing plate 6 to one end of the wheel axle 2. A screw 8 is fixed on the side of the load-bearing plate 6 close to the gear 3, and a thickened nut 9 is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 8. A movable sleeve 11 is provided on the side of the thickened nut 9 close to the gear 3, and the movable sleeve 11 is sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 8. By rotating the thickened nut 9, the movable sleeve 11 can be pushed toward the direction of the gear 3. A thrust tube 12 is fixed on the end of the movable sleeve 11 away from the thickened nut 9, which is used to resist the gear 3 and achieve the limitation of the gear 3.

[0027] When using this device, first fix the bearing plate 6 to the end of the axle 2 by tightening the bolts 7, then turn the thickened nut 9 so that the end of the thrust tube 12 is close to the outer hub surface of the gear 3 to limit the position of the gear 3. Next, start the motor to drive the bidirectional screw 17 to rotate, so that the support platform 21 lifts the axle 2 upward, and the two clamps 24 clamp the two ends of the axle 2. Then, inject high-pressure oil into the oil tank 4 through the oil filling hole 5 to adjust the position of the gear 3 on the axle 2. Finally, use the measuring cylinder 32 to measure the inner side distance of the gear rim and the inner side distance of the gear hub, and adjust according to the measurement results until the required inner side distance of the gear hub is achieved.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 To achieve the clamping of the wheel axle 2 and the positioning of the support platform 21, the device also includes a positioning structure. This positioning structure includes a movable groove 15 provided at the top of the base 1, into which a bidirectional lead screw 17 is rotatably connected. The outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 17 is threadedly sleeved with two movable seats 18 and two movable platforms 23. These two movable seats 18 and two movable platforms 23 are respectively located on the forward and reverse threaded sections of the bidirectional lead screw 17. Two guide rods 16 are fixed in the movable groove 15, and these two guide rods 16 are located on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 17. The two movable platforms 23 and the two movable seats 18 are slidably sleeved on the outer walls of the two guide rods 16 to limit the movement of the movable seats 18 and movable platforms 23. The tops of the two movable platforms 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping plate 24, and the tops of the two movable seats 18 are rotatably connected to both sides. The tops of the four connecting rods 19 are all rotatably connected to the same placement platform 20, and the support platform 21 is fixed to the top of the placement platform 20.

[0029] The motor drives the bidirectional lead screw 17, which in turn moves the two movable bases 18 toward the center. The movable base 18 pushes the placement platform 20 and support platform 21 upward via the connecting rod 19, which in turn lifts the axle 2 upward. Simultaneously, the two clamping plates 24 move toward each other, clamping the ends of the axle 2. This effectively supports and secures the axle 2 and gear 3, while also ensuring that the support platform 21 is centered on the axle 2, preserving the symmetry of the two gears 3 on the axle 2.

[0030] Multiple support plates are fixed in the movable groove 15, and a telescopic rod 22 is fixed on the top of the support plate in the middle, and the top of the telescopic rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement table 20, which is used to make the placement table 20 rise and fall smoothly. The telescopic rod 22 consists of an inner rod and an outer rod, and the outer rod is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the inner rod.

[0031] Reference Figure 6-Figure 9In order to achieve accurate measurement of the gear rim inner distance and the gear hub inner distance, the device also includes a measuring structure. This measuring structure is arranged on both sides of the support platform 21, and is used to enable two measuring cylinders 32 to measure the gear rim inner distance and the gear hub inner distance at different angles. By adjusting the position and angle of the measuring cylinder 32, accurate measurement of the gear 3 can be achieved. The adjustment device includes a measuring structure, and the specific structure of the measuring structure includes arc-shaped plates 27 slidingly arranged on both sides of the support platform 21. The two arc-shaped plates 27 can be slid and adjusted along the two sides of the support platform 21 to accommodate gears of different sizes. Support frames 28 are welded on the side of the two arc-shaped plates 27 away from each other. The two support frames 28 provide stable support for the subsequent measuring mechanism.

[0032] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 A threaded rod 29 is rotatably connected to one of the support frames 28. One end of the threaded rod 29 rotates through one end of the support frame 28 and extends to the outside of the support frame 28, making it easier for the operator to rotate. A fixed rod 30 is fixed to the other support frame 28 to provide guidance for the subsequent sliding connection.

[0033] Reference Figure 6-Figure 8 A U-shaped plate 31 is slidably connected to the two support frames 28. The design of this U-shaped plate 31 allows it to slide smoothly within the two support frames 28. One end of a fixed rod 30 slides through the U-shaped plate 31, providing a stable guide for the sliding of the U-shaped plate 31. One end of a threaded rod 29 is threaded through the U-shaped plate 31. By rotating the threaded rod 29, the sliding distance of the U-shaped plate 31 within the two support frames 28 can be controlled.

[0034] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 Two measuring cylinders 32 are fixed to each end of the U-shaped plate 31. These two measuring cylinders 32 are used for subsequent measurement work. Each measuring cylinder 32 has a sliding groove 34 at the distal end, within which a measuring rod 35 is slidably connected. A spring 36 is fixed to the adjacent end of each measuring rod 35, and the other end of the spring 36 is fixed to the inner wall of the sliding groove 34. This design ensures that the measuring rod 35 is tightly attached to the gear 3 due to the action of the spring 36.

[0035] Reference Figure 9 A ball 37 is embedded at the distal end of each measuring rod 35. This design reduces friction between the measuring rod 35 and the gear 3, ensuring more accurate measurements. A graduated scale 38 is also located on one side of the measuring rod 35. This scale 38 measures the distance the measuring rod 35 extends, thereby determining the inside-to-out distance between the gear rim and the gear hub.

[0036] Reference Figure 9 In order to facilitate the operation of the measuring rod 35, a rectangular groove 39 is provided on the top of the two measuring cylinders 32. A lever 40 is slidably connected in the rectangular groove 39. The lever 40 is fixed on the top of the measuring rod 35. By pulling the lever 40, the measuring rod 35 can be pulled into the sliding groove 34, which is convenient for adjustment and measurement.

[0037] A sliding block 33 is fixed to each of the ends of the two measuring cylinders 32 that are close to each other. The two sliding blocks 33 slide in the two supporting frames 28 respectively to increase the stability of the movement of the measuring cylinders 32.

[0038] During use, first adjust the position of the curved plate 27 so that the measuring structure can adapt to the size of the gear. Then, rotate the threaded rod 29, and drive the two measuring cylinders 32 to move inward through the U-shaped plate 31 until the ball 37 moves between the two gears 3. At this time, the cooperation between the ball 37 and the spring 36 makes the ball 37 close to the gear 3. Then, by observing the cooperation between the end of the measuring cylinder 32 and the scale mark 38, the gear rim inner distance can be obtained. Then, continue to rotate the threaded rod 29 to make the measuring cylinder 32 continue to move inward, and the gear hub inner distance can be obtained. In order to obtain more accurate data, the measuring cylinder 32 and the support frame 28 can be driven to rotate by the U-shaped plate 31 to measure the gear rim inner distance and the gear hub inner distance at different angles.

[0039] In addition, when the position of the measuring rod 35 needs to be adjusted, the measuring rod 35 can be pulled into the sliding groove 34 by pulling the lever 40, and then adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the lever 40 is released, and the measuring rod 35 will be close to the gear 3 under the action of the spring 36 to continue the measurement work.

[0040] Reference Figure 7 Annular grooves 25 are provided at both ends of the support platform 21. These two annular grooves 25 are designed to accommodate and guide the sliding movement of the curved rails 26. Specifically, the two curved rails 26 are slidably connected within the corresponding annular grooves 25, and the sides of the two curved rails 26 facing away from each other are fixedly connected to corresponding curved plates 27.

[0041] This design allows for the position of the U-shaped plate 31 to be changed by moving the arc track 26 when the gear hub inner side distance needs to be measured, thereby enabling the U-shaped plate 31 to rotate at multiple angles along the trajectory of the annular groove 25, thereby achieving multi-angle measurement of the gear hub inner side distance and improving the accuracy and flexibility of the measurement.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 12 and Figure 5Furthermore, a thrust bearing 10 is provided between the thickened nut 9 and the movable sleeve 11. The thrust bearing 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 8. This design can reduce the friction between the thickened nut 9 and the movable sleeve 11, allowing the movable sleeve 11 to slide smoothly on the screw 8. In order to enhance the stability of the sliding of the movable sleeve 11 on the screw 8, a plurality of key slots 13 are provided on the outer wall of the screw 8. Key blocks 14 are slidably provided in these key slots 13, and these key blocks 14 are fixed to the inner wall of the movable sleeve 11.

[0043] With such a design, when the movable sleeve 11 slides on the screw rod 8 , the key block 14 slides in the key groove 13 , thereby ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the sliding of the movable sleeve 11 .

[0044] In summary, through the design of this embodiment, the precise adjustment of the inner side distance of the gear hub of the locomotive wheelset can be achieved, and the measurement process is stable and accurate, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the locomotive wheelset assembly.

[0045] Example 2: Reference Figure 10 , improved on the basis of Example 1: a plurality of clearance grooves 41 are further provided on the top of the support platform 21. A rotating shaft 42 is fixed in these clearance grooves 41, and an arc-shaped clamping plate 43 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 42. In order to allow the arc-shaped clamping plate 43 to better clamp the wheel axle 2, rubber pads 44 are fixed on the bottom inner walls of the plurality of clearance grooves 41. These rubber pads 44 and the rotating shaft 42 are located on both sides of the wheel axle 2, playing a role of buffering and stabilization. Hexagonal bolts 45 are provided in the arc-shaped clamping plate 43, which pass through the arc-shaped clamping plate 43 and are threadedly connected to the rubber pads 44. When the wheel axle 2 needs to be fixed on the support platform 21, it is only necessary to rotate the arc-shaped clamping plate 43, clamp the arc-shaped clamping plate 43 on the wheel axle 2, and then tighten the hexagonal bolts 45. Such a design can effectively avoid the shaking of the gear 3 and the axle 2 when measuring the inner side distance of the gear rim and the inner side distance of the gear hub in the later stage, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the measurement.

[0046] A method for adjusting a gear hub inner distance adjustment device for assembling a locomotive wheelset comprises the following steps: S1. Before measuring, the wheel axle 2 and the gear 3 are moved to the base 1, and the wheel axle 2 is located above the support platform 21. The two-way screw 17 is driven by the motor to rotate, and the two-way screw 17 drives the two moving seats 18 to move toward the middle. The moving seat 18 pushes the placement platform 20 and the support platform 21 upward through the connecting rod 19, and the support platform 21 lifts the wheel axle 2 upward. At the same time, the two clamping plates 24 move toward each other to clamp the two ends of the wheel axle 2 to complete the support and fixation of the wheel axle 2 and the gear 3, and at the same time ensure that the support platform 21 is located in the middle position of the wheel axle 2, preliminarily ensuring the symmetry of the two gears 3 on the wheel axle 2, which is convenient for the later measurement of the inner side distance of the gear rim, the inner side distance of the gear hub, and the left and right symmetry deviation of the two gears 3; S2. Before measurement, to prevent the gear 3 from deviating outward, fix the bearing plate 6 to the end of the wheel shaft 2 by tightening the bolt 7. Then rotate the thickened nut 9. The thickened nut 9 is threadedly connected to the screw 8. The thickened nut 9 pushes the movable sleeve 11 and the thrust tube 12 toward the middle through the thrust bearing 10, so that the end of the thrust tube 12 is close to the outer hub surface of the gear 3 to limit the gear 3. Then start the high-pressure oil pump to adjust the inner distance of the gear rim and the inner distance of the gear hub; to prevent the thrust tube 12 from rotating and damaging the gear 3, a thrust bearing 10 is installed between the thickened nut 9 and the movable sleeve 11, making it convenient and quick to use; S3. Before starting the high-pressure oil pump for adjustment, it is necessary to measure the inner distance of the gear rim and the inner distance of the gear hub. During operation, the threaded rod 29 is rotated, and the threaded rod 29 drives the two measuring cylinders 32 to move inward through the U-shaped plate 31, and when moving, until the ball 37 moves between the two gears 3, the cooperation of the ball 37 and the spring 36 makes the ball 37 close to the gear 3, and then the inner distance of the gear rim is obtained by cooperating with the end of the measuring cylinder 32 and the scale mark 38. The threaded rod 29 is continued to be rotated to make the measuring cylinder 32 continue to move inward to obtain the inner distance of the gear hub, and then the measuring cylinder 32 and the support frame 28 are driven to rotate by the U-shaped plate 31, and the inner distance of the gear rim and the inner distance of the gear hub are measured at different angles to obtain more accurate data, and finally the high-pressure oil pump is started for adjustment. S4. When the axle 2 is placed on the support platform 21, rotate the arc-shaped clamping plate 43 to clamp the arc-shaped clamping plate 43 on the axle 2, and then tighten the hexagonal bolt 45 to clamp the axle 2, so as to prevent the gear 3 and the axle 2 from shaking when the measuring rod 35 and the measuring cylinder 32 are measuring the inner distance of the gear rim and the inner distance of the gear hub.
