Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of railway vehicle maintenance equipment technology, specifically a disassembly and maintenance system for components in freight car frame maintenance lines. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the disassembly, repair, assembly, and parts storage of components (such as crossbars, wedges, and wear plates) in various depots across the railway system still adhere to the traditional concept of each unit being independent. In particular, the conversion between units and storage is almost entirely done manually, which has the following main drawbacks: large footprint, low work efficiency, and high labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a disassembly and maintenance system for components in a truck frame maintenance line, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
