Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of clamps, and in particular relates to a clamp for a motor vehicle unit shaft end grounding device. Background Art

[0002] The shaft end grounding device of CRH380B(L) EMU is the most important component of the EMU high-voltage traction system. It is installed at the shaft end of the EMU wheelset to prevent the working current, system fault current and lightning current from damaging the bearing when passing through the bearing, and to provide a safe, economical and effective closed environment for the bearing. The shaft end grounding device is mainly composed of a grounding cover, a friction plate, a carbon brush holder, etc. Among them, whether the appearance of the grounding wire, the grounding carbon brush and the grounding cover is in good condition is the key inspection point in the three-level maintenance and overhaul of the EMU. The on-site maintenance personnel of each railway bureau inspect the grounding wire, the grounding carbon brush, etc. according to the advanced maintenance and overhaul procedures and operation instructions of the Harmony 3 EMU to ensure that the inspection items of the shaft end grounding device meet the standard requirements. If the shaft end grounding cable is broken or corroded by more than 10%, the terminal is damaged or corroded, and the grounding carbon brush is worn beyond the limit, it will be replaced.

[0003] For a long time, the problems of low efficiency and high safety hazards in the replacement of shaft end grounding device parts in the advanced maintenance and overhaul base have always attracted the attention of railway bureau leaders, R&D designers and on-site process personnel. When the parts are replaced, the operator puts the shaft end grounding device on the operating table. Since the bottom of the shaft end grounding device is elliptical, in order to ensure that it does not rotate at will, the operators need to cooperate with each other to complete the three different specifications of bolt tightening, torque calibration and anti-loosening marking in the shaft end grounding device. Among them, one operator holds it with both hands, and the other operator tightens the bolts, calibrates the torque, and paints the anti-loosening mark. After the above processes are completed, the operators cooperate with each other again to complete the surface appearance inspection of the shaft end device. The entire maintenance operation process is completely dependent on the cooperation of multiple people, lacks special auxiliary fixing tooling, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses a personal safety hazard. Based on the above reasons, technical research on special tools for shaft end grounding devices is carried out, and a new tooling is designed to improve operation efficiency and ensure the safety of operators.

[0004] The patent document with the publication number CN215248006U discloses a hemispherical parts fixture, including a medicine bowl, a three-jaw chuck, a turntable, a motor flange a, a motor flange b, a coupling, a transfer shaft, a three-jaw chuck turntable, a three-claw clamp, a servo electric cylinder, and a pad. The solution mainly completes the grasping of hemispherical parts to achieve auxiliary measurement, including the positioning, grasping, clamping and flipping of hemispherical parts, which can realize the grasping of heavy parts and meet the high-precision positioning requirements. However, the fixture is not suitable for the maintenance scene of the advanced shaft end grounding device. The research and analysis are mainly carried out from the aspects of economic cost, maintenance timeliness, and application scope. 1. The National Railway Group Co., Ltd. has always advocated the energy-saving and consumption-reducing management system, and has achieved it through various means such as optimizing on-site operation processes and innovatively developing lightweight equipment. The fixture has a complex structural design, high manufacturing and maintenance costs, and the existing design concept does not match the energy-saving and consumption-reducing management system of the railway bureau. 2. According to the daily and weekly plans for high-level repair parts, the repair parts are repaired and delivered according to the time nodes. At present, in order to realize the streamlined and rhythmic operation process of high-level repair, the repair time of the parts at each workstation has a time node, but the design of the fixture is complex, and it is impossible to achieve the function of fast and accurate positioning and tightening of the parts for batch repair of high-level repairs. It is also time-consuming and labor-intensive in use, and the utilization rate of personnel is not high. Utility Model Content
