Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of maintenance and production of railway vehicles, and specifically to a conveying system composed of a longitudinal conveyor and a transverse inclined rail. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the wheel and axle workshops of each vehicle depot across the country's railways, there are 2 - 3 parallel, independent and basically identical maintenance operation lines arranged longitudinally in the workshop. Each operation line consists of a longitudinal ground track and various maintenance equipment. The various maintenance equipment on each longitudinal track are arranged in series. Once a certain piece of equipment on the longitudinal track fails, all the equipment on this longitudinal track may stop production; another drawback of the existing technology is that the transportation of the wheelsets between various maintenance workstations mainly relies on manually pushing the wheelsets to roll on the ground track, resulting in very low operation efficiency of maintaining the wheelsets and utilization rate of the maintenance equipment, and extremely high labor intensity for workers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a conveying system composed of a longitudinal conveyor and a transverse inclined rail to solve the problems mentioned in the above background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: Inside the workshop 1 of the wheel and axle workshop in a railway vehicle depot or vehicle factory, it includes wheelsets 1A and one set or several sets of maintenance units 1B for maintaining the wheelsets 1A. The maintenance unit 1B includes a conveyor 1B1 and maintenance equipment 2. The conveyor 1B1 includes a plate chain conveyor 3 and an inclined rail conveyor 4 perpendicular to the plate chain conveyor 3. The length direction of the wheelset 1A is the length direction of the plate chain conveyor 3. The plate chain conveyor 3 includes a high - level plate chain 3A and a low - level plate chain 3B. Between the horizontally adjacent high - level plate chain 3A and low - level plate chain 3B, there are two or more inclined rail conveyors 4. The inclined rail conveyor 4 includes an inclined rail 4A and a stopper 4B. The maintenance equipment 2 arranged on the inclined rail 4A is located behind the stopper 4B; The inclined rail 4A includes a high - end 4A1 and a low - end 4A2 at both ends of the inclined rail 4A. The high - end 4A1 and the low - end 4A2 are respectively located on the edges of the high - level plate chain 3A and the low - level plate chain 3B. The wheelset 1A entering the maintenance unit 1B from the high - level plate chain 3A enters the inclined rail 4A from the high - end 4A1 and then rolls into the low - level plate chain 3B by its own weight and is then sent out of the maintenance unit 1B by the low - level plate chain 3B.

[0005] As a further scheme of the present invention: The plate chain conveyor 3 includes an arc - shaped panel 3C to prevent the wheelset 1A from rolling.

[0006] As a further solution of the present invention: The high-level plate chain 3A includes a dialing device 3A1. The wheel pair 1A on the high-level plate chain 3A is sent to the high end 4A1 through the dialing device 3A1 and enters the inclined rail 4A.

[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: The maintenance equipment 2 includes a jacking device 2A. The maintenance equipment 2 jacks up the wheel pair 1A blocked by the stopper 4B through the jacking device 2A and then performs the set operation.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: The conveyor 1B1 includes a lifting device 3D between the adjacent low-level plate chain 3B and high-level plate chain 3A on the same straight line. The wheel pair 1A at the front end of the low-level plate chain 3B is conveyed to the tail end of the high-level plate chain 3A through the lifting device 3D.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: The plant 1 includes a number of longitudinally arranged maintenance units 1B. The plate chain conveyors 3 in the maintenance units 1B are also longitudinally arranged; the output end of the low-level plate chain 3B in the adjacent previous process maintenance unit 1B and the input end of the high-level plate chain 3A in the subsequent process maintenance unit 1B are connected into one body through the lifting device 3D.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: The lifting device 3D includes a truss conveyor 5. The truss conveyor 5 includes a frame 5A, a longitudinal trolley 5B, a lifting device 5C and a jaw 5D. The frame 5A includes a longitudinal guide rail 5A1; the jaw 5D for grasping the wheel pair 1A is installed at the bottom of the lifting device 5C, and the lifting device 5C is installed on the longitudinal trolley 5B; the longitudinal trolley 5B runs on the longitudinal guide rail 5A1, and the frame 5A is located between the output end of the low-level plate chain 3B and the input end of the high-level plate chain 3A.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: The jaw 5D includes a horizontal telescopic device 5D1. The telescopic device 5D1 includes a telescopic head 5D1A, and the telescopic head 5D1A can extend into the top of the inner concave ring of the wheel rim of the wheel pair 1A.

[0012] In summary, compared with the prior art, the main features of the present invention are: 1) Since the inclined rails between the high-level plate chain and the low-level plate chain are all arranged in parallel, when a maintenance device on a certain inclined rail fails, the maintenance device on other inclined rails can be used for operation. 2) The wheel pair is conveyed by an inclined rail structure and rolls forward by gravity. Therefore, the main advantages of the present invention are: low labor intensity of workers, high automation degree, high operation efficiency, and low construction investment.
