DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] A railway wagon body includes a plurality of side wall structures 1, a plurality of end wall structures 2, and an underframe 3. The plurality of side wall structures 1 and the plurality of end wall structures 2 are both mounted on the underframe 3, so that the plurality of side wall surfaces, the plurality of end wall structures 2, and the underframe 3 together enclose a containing cavity. In this embodiment, a railway wagon body includes two side wall structures 1 and two end wall structures 2.
[0044] Railway wagons for carrying bulk cargo generally use a plate-post combined side wall, which is mainly composed of a side wall plate, a side post, an upper side beam, etc. According to the relative position of the side post to the side wall plate, the side wall can be divided into two structures: a side post external structure and a side post internal structure. Each structure can be further divided into a riveting structure and a welding structure according to the connection method of the side post and the side wall plate. The body inner wall of the side post external structure is smooth, which is conducive to reducing the phenomenon of coal accumulation, and has the characteristics of simple structure, reliable use, and convenient application and maintenance. However, the space occupied by the side post between the side wall plate and the vehicle gauge cannot be utilized for the volume of the wagon body, so the utilization rate of the vehicle gauge is low and the volume of the wagon is small. Compared with the side post external structure, the side post internal structure fully utilizes the vehicle gauge and can increase the volume of the wagon. However, the manufacturing process of this structure is complex, coal accumulation is prone to occur, and the cargo unloading rate is low.
[0045] The side post of the railway wagon side wall is connected to the side wall plate in two structures: welding and riveting. This method has more parts. The side wall of the bulk cargo railway wagon currently generally uses steel, aluminum, or other metal materials, resulting in a large self-weight of the railway wagon. Therefore, a railway wagon side wall structure, a preparation method, and a railway wagon are proposed.
[0046] The plurality of side wall structures 1 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the underframe 3, and the side wall structure 1 is perpendicular to the underframe 3. Each side wall structure 1 comprises an upper side beam 101 and a side wall plate 102. The upper side beam 101 is arranged on the top of the side wall plate 102, and the upper side beam 101 and the side wall plate 102 are an integral structure. As shown in Figure 2 The integral structure of the upper side beam 101 and the side wall plate 102 is integrally made of fiber reinforced resin-based composite material through a molding process such as a heat pressure tank or a vacuum bag. The side wall plate 102 is a flat fiber reinforced resin-based composite material laminate plate structure. The inside of the upper side beam 101 forms a cavity for reducing the self-weight of the side wall structure 1 and forming a box-shaped cross section with high bending stiffness to bear the lateral and vertical loads of the side wall plate 102 expansion and the vertical bending of the vehicle body. A reinforcing rib (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the cavity to enhance the torsional stiffness of the upper side beam and prevent the upper side beam from bending and deforming. The connection between the upper side beam 101 and the side wall plate 102 forms a first flange 1011, which is attached to the side wall plate 102 to form the upper side beam 101 and form a reliable closed structure inside. The connection between the upper side beam 101 and the side column 103 forms an inclined surface.
[0047] To better implement the application, refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, each side wall structure 1 further comprises a plurality of side columns 103, which are uniformly arranged on one side of the side wall plate 102 located in the accommodation cavity. The upper end of the side column 103 is connected to the upper side beam 101, and the lower end of the side column 103 is connected to the underframe 3 or the end wall plate 203. The side column 103 is also made of fiber reinforced resin-based composite material, and can preferably be made of carbon fiber composite material. The side column 103 is the main load-bearing component of the side wall structure 1, which can bear the pressure of the goods on the side wall plate 102, ensure the temperature resistance and safety of the vehicle body structure, prevent the side wall plate 103 from deforming, and effectively improve the anti-expansion capacity of the side wall plate 102. The cooperation of the side column 103 with the upper side beam 101 and the side wall plate 102 forms an integral structure, which enhances the lateral stiffness and longitudinal stiffness of the side wall plate 102. A plurality of side columns 103 are vertically and uniformly arranged on the side of the side wall plate 102 close to the railway wagon accommodation cavity, which is used to ensure the anti-expansion capacity of the side wall structure 1 and prevent the side wall plate 102 from deforming.
[0048] By integrally forming the upper side beam and the side wall plate, the number of parts for installing the two is reduced. The upper side beam is designed as a hollow structure, and cooperates with the side column, which not only reduces the self-weight of the whole side wall structure, but also ensures the stiffness of the side wall structure.
[0049] Specifically, the side column 103 comprises a cap-shaped side column 1031 and a flat side column 1032, as shown in Figure 3 , 4, 6 and 7, the flat side column 1032 is arranged at both ends of the side wall plate 102 close to the end wall plate 203, and the cap-shaped side column 1031 is arranged between the flat side columns 1032 at both ends. Among them, since the free area of the side wall plate 102 is large, in order to improve the external expansion stiffness under the pressure of the bulk cargo, a plurality of cap-shaped side columns 1031 are arranged longitudinally and spaced apart along the side wall plate 102. The cap-shaped side column 1031 is in the shape of a trapezoid, and an opening is arranged on one side of the cap-shaped side column 1031, and second flanges 10311 are arranged on both sides of the opening, the second flanges 10311 are mounting contact surfaces, facilitating the mounting between the cap-shaped side column 1031 and the side wall plate 102, the cap-shaped side column 1031 is hollow, and the width of the opening of the cap-shaped side column 1031 is greater than the width of the side close to the accommodating cavity, as shown in Figure 6 , the thickness of the cap-shaped side column 1031 is 90-110mm, and in the embodiment, the thickness is preferably 100mm. When relying on the gravity of the cargo to unload, in order to sufficiently reduce the blockage of the built-in side column 103 structure to the bulk cargo sliding downward along the end wall slope, while also maintaining a certain anti-expansion stiffness of the side wall plate 102 at the end wall plate 203 close to both ends of the inner side of the side wall plate 102, a flat side column 1032 is arranged, the flat side column 1032 is in the shape of a trapezoid, but the inside of the flat side column 1032 is a solid structure, the width-thickness ratio (W / T) of the flat side column 1032 is greater than or equal to 2, and the thickness (T) is less than or equal to 30mm, and the side of the long bottom of the trapezoidal section of the flat side column is connected with the side wall plate. Among them, the thickness of the cap-shaped side column 1031 is greater than the thickness of the flat side column 1032, and the specific structure is shown in Figure 3 and 4 . The end connected with the upper side beam 101 of the flat side column 1032 and the cap-shaped side column 1031 is closely attached to the inclined surface of the upper side beam 101, and the connection at this position is preferably by adhesive or adhesive film.
[0050] The bottom of the railway wagon between the two bogies is provided with an unloading hopper, and after the unloading bottom door is opened, the bulk cargo loaded in the wagon falls and flows through the hopper to be unloaded. Since the unloading hopper cannot be arranged above the bogie, the end wall of the vehicle above the bogie must be arranged in a structure with a certain slope to the horizontal plane, and the slope should be greater than the angle of repose of the bulk cargo loaded in the vehicle, so that the cargo above can be unloaded by gravity. The end wall of the railway wagon not only bears the pressure load of the bulk cargo in the vehicle, but also bears the inertial impact load generated during the running of the vehicle due to the start and braking of the train, as well as the conditions of curves, slopes, acceleration and deceleration. The existing railway wagon mostly adopts a hopper wagon, and the end wall of the wagon is generally in a plate-column combined structure. This kind of structure has a large weight, a complex structure, and a large manufacturing process difficulty. Therefore, an end wall structure of a railway wagon, a preparation method and a railway wagon are provided.
[0051] In this embodiment, multiple sets of end wall structures 2 are relatively arranged at both ends of the base frame 3, and each set of end wall structures 2 is inclined toward the interior of the accommodating cavity. Each set of end wall structures 2 includes an end wall panel 203 and a support assembly 204. Both sides of the end wall panel 203 are respectively connected to the side wall panels 102. The end wall panel 203 is arranged on the base frame 3 through the support assembly 204. That is, one end of the support assembly 204 is connected to the back of the end wall panel 203. The end wall panel 203 is integrally solidified. The support assembly 204 is used to support the end wall panel 203 to ensure that the end wall panel 203 is inclined.
[0052] In order to better implement the invention, refer to Figure 11 In one embodiment, the end wall panel 203 is corrugated, and the end wall panel 203 has evenly spaced crests and troughs in the transverse direction. The lower end of the end wall panel 203 in the longitudinal direction is connected to the base frame 3. The upper end of the end wall panel 203 is connected to the upper end beam 201 through the connecting plate 202. A third flange 2031 is provided on both sides of the end wall panel 203 in the transverse direction, and both sides of the end wall panel 203 are connected to the side wall panel 102 of the side wall structure 1 through the third flange 2031. Each crest and trough of the end wall panel 203 can play the role of an independent supporting beam in a traditional plate-column structure. From the perspective of structural mechanics, multiple troughs and crests can effectively improve the bearing capacity of the end wall panel 203, especially its strong bending stiffness in the longitudinal direction. The troughs and crests are continuous and symmetrical structures, which facilitates the simplification of the molding mold and reduces the specifications of the matching parts. The number of crests and troughs in the end wall panel 203 can be increased or decreased based on the actual vehicle body requirements. The height of the crests and troughs is generally 30-60 mm, with a wall thickness of 4-8 mm. The angles between the bottom plate of the trough and the top plate of the crest and web are all obtuse to reduce the accumulation of bulk cargo. The end wall panel 203 has a bend perpendicular to the surface of the end wall panel 203, namely the third flange 2031, on both sides, which connects the end wall panel 203 to the side wall panel 102.
[0053] In order to better implement the invention, refer to Figure 8 and 9 In one embodiment, the end wall structure 2 further includes an upper end beam 201 and a connecting plate 202. The upper end beam 201 and the connecting plate 202 constitute a baffle assembly, which is connected to one longitudinal end of the end wall panel 203. The upper end beam 201 is connected to the longitudinal upper end of the end wall panel 203 via the connecting plate 202. Specifically, the surface of the end wall panel 203 located within the accommodating cavity is used as the front face to determine its peaks and troughs. The peak surface of the upper end of the end wall panel 203 can also be connected to the upper end beam 201, and the trough surface of the upper end is connected to the connecting plate 202. The lower end of the end wall panel 203 is connected to the funnel plate of the base frame 3.
[0054] In order to better implement the invention, refer to Figure 8 and 9In an embodiment, the support assembly 204 comprises an end upright plate 2041 and a plurality of end columns 2042, the end upright plate 2041 is a profiled steel plate, and the end columns 2042 are channel-shaped cold-formed steel. The upper end of the end upright plate 2041 is connected with the end wall plate 203, the lower end of the end upright plate 2041 is connected with the chassis 3, and a plurality of end columns 2042 are arranged on the end upright plate 2041 along the support direction of the end upright plate 2041. Specifically, the middle part of the back surface of the end wall plate 203 is connected with the end upright plate 2041, and the lower end of the end upright plate 2041 and the end columns 2042 are connected with the steel structure of the chassis 3, which can be preferably connected by welding. Since the end wall plate 203 is a corrugated plate, there are wave crests and wave troughs, in order to facilitate the connection between the end upright plate 2041 and the end wall plate 203 and ensure more reliable connection, the wave crests and wave troughs are distinguished on the surface of the end wall plate 203 connected with the end upright plate 2041 (the back surface of the end wall plate 203), a plurality of pads 2043 are arranged at the wave troughs of the back surface of the end wall plate 203, and the pads 2043 are made of hard resin blocks. Each group of support assemblies 204 comprises a plurality of pads 2043, the plurality of pads 2043 are respectively arranged in the wave troughs of the back surface of the end wall plate 203 and kept on the same horizontal line, the end upright plate 2041 is connected with the wave troughs of the back surface of the end wall plate 203 through the pads 2043, so that the outer surfaces of the pads 2043 are flush with the wave crests of the back surface of the end wall plate 203, at this time, the end upright plate 2041 is connected with the wave troughs of the end wall plate 203 through the pads 2043, which facilitates the connection of the end upright plate 2041 with the end wall plate 203, and the connection mode can be rivet connection, which connects the wave troughs of the end wall plate 203, the pads 2043 and the end upright plate 2041 through rivets, as shown in Figure 12 The mounting state of the end wall plate 203 after connection is shown in Figure 10
[0055] By changing the end wall structure of the plate-column combined structure in the prior art into the end wall structure of the corrugated end wall plate, the baffle assembly and the support assembly, the number of parts is reduced, the assembly difficulty of the entire end wall structure is reduced, and the self-weight and manufacturing difficulty are also reduced.

The bracing rods 4 and the partition plate 5 are made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy.
[0057] In order to better implement the present application, refer to Figure 13 In one embodiment, the chassis 3 comprises a plurality of end beams 301, a plurality of bolster beams 302, a plurality of side funnel plates 303, small cross beams 304, a middle beam 305, a plurality of lower side beams and a large cross beam 306, wherein the plurality of lower side beams and the plurality of end beams 301 form a rectangular chassis 3 frame, the bolster beams 302 are arranged at the front and rear ends of the chassis 3 frame, the middle beam 305 parallel to the lower side beams is arranged between the front and rear bolster beams 302, and the plurality of small cross beams 304 and the large cross beam 306 perpendicular to the middle beam 305 and the lower side beams are arranged between the middle beam 305 and the lower side beams.
