TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traction beams, in particular to a traction beam, a bogie frame, a car body and a railway vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] The railway vehicle industry attaches great importance to train safety and energy saving, so in the design of the train, the requirements for high strength and light weight are becoming higher and higher. The car body, as the main load-bearing structure and heavy component of the vehicle, also has the same design pursuit. The car body structure is often a design difficulty in ensuring high strength while taking into account light weight. In the car body design process, light weight design is generally performed on components such as the bogie frame, side wall, roof, end wall, etc., and then the strength is improved by optimizing the structure and material selection of each component. The traction cushion structure of the bogie frame is the primary load-bearing part under tensile and compressive conditions. The traction cushion structure is composed of a traction beam, a bolster beam, a buffer beam, a support cross beam and a reinforcing accessory. The traction beam assembly is a connecting component, and the car coupler mounting seat is also a main load-bearing component, which is the focus of car body loading inspection. The commonly used traction beam assembly is made of two symmetrical outwardly bent groove-shaped single-piece traction beams riveted with a car coupler mounting seat and supplemented with reinforcing plates as needed. The entire traction cushion structure has the function of a support frame, and transmits the tensile and compressive load received by the car coupler mounting seat to the entire car body structure. The car coupler mounting seat is made of cast steel, and the car coupler mounting seat has a large volume and weight, leaving little room for light weight improvement. In the process of assembling the traction beam, rivets are used for riveting, which requires higher process tooling for car body manufacturing and post-maintenance, and the process is complex, resulting in low production efficiency. In order to ensure the strength of the riveting area of the traction beam assembly, the reasonable arrangement of the rivets needs to be optimized and improved several times, increasing the design and manufacturing workload.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the drawbar beam 9910 includes two single-piece drawbar beams 991 arranged side by side and the coupler mounting seat 992; the front end of any single-piece drawbar beam 991 is respectively provided with a bending part bent away from the back, so as to form a horn at the front end of the drawbar beam 9910; the front end of the drawbar beam 9910 is connected with a car body buffer beam 9911, and the rear end is connected with a bolster 9912; the single-piece drawbar beam 991 is provided with an inserting and embedding recess 9911, which is arranged from inside to outside along the thickness direction;
[0038] The coupler mounting seat 992 is respectively provided with an inserting and embedding convex part 9921 at the transverse two ends; the coupler mounting seat 992 is located between the two single-piece drawbar beams 991, and the inserting and embedding convex part 9921 is inserted and fixed with the corresponding inserting and embedding recess 9911 and is welded.
[0039] The traction beam 9910 is composed of two independent single-piece traction beams 991 arranged in parallel, which are made of high-strength steel plate material by welding or forging, and arranged side by side to enhance the load-carrying capacity and stability of the overall structure. The front end of the single-piece traction beam 991 is provided with a backwardly bent bending portion, that is, the front ends of the two traction beams 9910 are bent outward, and the structure after bending forms a horn-shaped opening space at the front end of the traction beam 9910, which is used to accommodate the bumper beam 9911 structure at the front end of the car body, realize the structural butt joint and transition, and the horn area is the first energy-absorbing structure when the car body collides. The front end of the traction beam 9910 is connected with the car body bumper beam 9911 for transmitting longitudinal force and buffering impact, and the rear end of the traction beam 9910 is connected with the bolster beam 9912 to bear the weight of the car body and transmit it to the track through the bogie. The traction beam also uses high-strength steel material to improve strength and reduce weight, achieving lightweight design of the underframe.
[0040] In an embodiment, an insertion recess 9911 is provided on each single-piece traction beam 991, which is arranged from inside to outside in the thickness direction, and on the lateral direction of the traction beam 9910, with the side close to the longitudinal center line of the traction beam 9910 as the inside and the side away from the longitudinal center line as the outside. The insertion recess 9911 is used for cooperating and connecting with the insertion protrusion 9921 of the coupler mounting seat 992, and the recess structure can be a slot, a U-shaped notch or a stepped hole, etc., which can be set as needed to ensure accurate positioning and reliable connection.

At the same time, after the insertion protrusion 9921 is inserted into the through groove, welding reinforcement can be performed on the inner and outer sides of the drawbar beam 9910, improving the length and strength of the weld; Support double-sided welding, effectively prevent welding deformation and stress concentration.
[0044] Specifically, the insertion groove is arranged from the bottom end of the single-piece drawbar beam 991 and extends upward, so that the welding operation can be performed from the side or the top, improving the utilization rate of welding space, avoiding dead angle welds, and enhancing the structural reliability; At the same time, it is helpful for uniform transmission of longitudinal load, reduces local stress concentration, and improves fatigue resistance.
[0045] Further, the insertion protrusion 9921 extends along the transverse direction of the drawbar mounting seat 992, and the top wall of the insertion protrusion 9921 and the top wall of the drawbar mounting seat 992 form a stepped structure; The insertion protrusion 9921 is inserted into the insertion groove and protrudes outward from the side wall of the single-piece drawbar beam 991 along the transverse direction.

A plurality of weldable surfaces are formed between the edges, which facilitates multi-angle welding; in particular, the junction between the bottom edge 99214 and the oblique edge 99213 can be used as a weld reinforcement area. When the edges are smoothly transitioned, the mold wear can be reduced and the manufacturing efficiency can be improved.
[0051] In another embodiment, the single-piece drawbar beam 991 includes a drawbar beam side upright plate 9912, a drawbar beam upper cover plate 9913, a drawbar beam lower cover plate 9914 and a plurality of reinforcing plates 9915, and the bottom edge 99214 of the inserted convex part 9921 is seated on the drawbar beam lower cover plate 9914 and is welded and fixed; the reinforcing plates 9915 are located between two single-piece drawbar beams 991.
