[0002] The coupler is a common component on the body of a railway freight car. Generally, the coupler of a railway freight car needs to be regularly inspected after being used for a period of time. The buffer inspection and installation line is usually a stepping line. After the detection equipment on the stepping line or manual inspection, if there are any defective products, they need to be processed offline.
[0003] In the prior art, the buffer is taken offline by manually operating a forklift or a crane or a buffer box transport trolley (the specific structure can be found in Chinese utility model patent: CN202923676U) to transfer a single buffer on the stepping line. In this way, the stepping line needs to be paused for the forklift or the crane or the buffer box transport trolley to transfer it, and the transfer speed of the forklift or the crane or the buffer box transport trolley itself is limited, which ultimately leads to a slow offline speed of the buffer and low efficiency.
[0004] The existing technology has the problem that the buffer offline speed is slow and the efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0020] The offline hydraulic cylinder is used to push the first push head to extend and retract along the first direction, and the first push head is used to push the buffers on the stepping line into the tray one by one.
[0021] In one embodiment, the transverse thrust mechanism comprises:
[0022] A propulsion cylinder base, which is fixed on the machine base; and
[0023] The transverse pushing assembly is fixed on the pushing cylinder seat, and the transverse pushing assembly is used to push one or more buffers in the tray along the second direction.
[0024] In one embodiment, the transverse thrust assembly comprises:

[0030] In one embodiment, the second conveying assembly has the same structure as the first conveying assembly.
[0031] In one embodiment, the tray is provided with tray cone feet, the machine base is provided with a machine base cone cup, and the tray cone feet are inserted into the machine base cone cup.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantage that a first conveying assembly is provided, and the first conveying assembly is used to push a plurality of buffers on the stepping line into the pallet one by one along the first direction. The first conveying assembly is then used to push the buffers in the pallet to the end of the pallet along the second direction until the pallet is filled with buffers.

The machine base 10 is arranged on one side of the stepping line 100; the first conveying assembly 20 is arranged on the machine base 10; the tray 30 is arranged on the machine base 10; the first conveying assembly 20 can push a plurality of buffers 200 on the stepping line 100 into the tray 30 along a first direction, and the first conveying assembly 20 can also push the buffers 200 in the tray 30 along a second direction so that the tray 30 is filled with the buffers 200.
[0043] In the above configuration, a first conveying assembly 20 is provided, and the first conveying assembly 20 is used to push the multiple buffers 200 on the stepping line 100 into the pallet 30 one by one along the first direction. Then, the first conveying assembly 20 is used to push the buffers 200 in the pallet 30 to the end of the pallet 30 along the second direction until the pallet 30 is filled with the buffers 200. This can replace the manual transfer method of transferring the buffers 200 on the stepping line 100 by a forklift or a vehicle in the prior art, and the stepping line 100 does not need to stop working. This improves the transfer efficiency of the buffers 200 and the offline speed of the buffers 200.
[0044] It should be noted that in the prior art, when the buffer box transport trolley is operating the buffer, the buffer that needs to be unloaded from the stepping line 200 is first packed into a box, and then the box is hoisted onto the buffer box transport trolley for transportation.
[0045] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first conveying assembly 20 includes a transverse pushing mechanism 21 and a longitudinal pushing mechanism 22. The transverse pushing mechanism 21 is arranged on the machine base 10, and is used to push the buffer 200 in the tray 30 along the second direction; the longitudinal pushing mechanism 22 is arranged on the machine base 10, and is used to push the buffer 200 on the stepping line 100 into the tray 30 along the first direction.

Then, the transverse pushing mechanism 21 is used to push the buffers 200 in the pallet 30 to the end of the pallet 30 along the second direction until the pallet 30 is filled with the buffers 200. Thus, the manual transfer method of transferring the buffers 200 on the stepping line 100 by a forklift or a vehicle in the prior art can be replaced.

The longitudinal pushing mechanism 22 immediately pushes them into the tray 30. In this way, the stepping line 100 can work without stopping, thereby further improving the transfer efficiency of the buffers 200 and the offline speed of the buffers 200.

[0054] Of course, in an alternative embodiment not shown in the drawings of the present application, the second pusher 2122 is used to push a single buffer 200 in the tray 30 along the second direction.
[0055] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the transverse thrust assembly 212 includes two thrust hydraulic cylinders 2121 , and the driving ends of the two thrust hydraulic cylinders 2121 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two buffers 200 .

[0058] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the second conveying assembly 40 has the same structure as the first conveying assembly 20. Therefore, the specific structure of the second conveying assembly 40 will not be described in detail herein.
[0059] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a tray cone foot 31 is provided on the tray 30 , a base cone cup 11 is provided on the base 10 , and the tray cone foot 31 is inserted into the base cone cup 11 .
[0060] It should be noted that the buffer offline device includes a tray 30, a machine base 10, a propulsion hydraulic cylinder 2121, an offline hydraulic cylinder 2221, a tray cone foot 31, a machine base cone cup 11, an offline cylinder base 221, a propulsion cylinder base 211, and a first and a second push head. The buffer offline device is arranged on the side of the stepping line 100. The machine base 10 has a machine base cone cup 11, and the tray 30 has a tray cone foot 31. This structure facilitates the tray to fall on the machine base 10.

An offline cylinder base 221 is installed on the side of the machine base, and an offline hydraulic cylinder 2221 is fixed on the offline cylinder base 221. All hydraulic cylinder heads are equipped with push heads (including the first and second push heads). ), the push head is used to push the buffer 200. When a buffer needs to be taken offline, the offline hydraulic cylinder is activated to push the buffer 200 away from the stepping line to the pallet 30. When a buffer is offline again, the offline hydraulic cylinder is started again to push the buffer 200 to the position of the previous buffer 200, so that the two buffers 200 are placed side by side. At this time, the two propulsion hydraulic cylinders 2121 are started to push the buffer 200 to move one buffer position into the pallet 30. The propulsion hydraulic cylinder 2121 and the offline hydraulic cylinder 2221 act alternately to cover the pallet 30 with the offline buffer 200. A crane or forklift is used to transport the pallet to the buffer storage place.

Then the transverse pushing mechanism 21 is used to push the buffer 200 in the pallet 30 to the end of the pallet 30 along the second direction until the pallet 30 is filled with the buffer 200. This can replace the manual transportation method of transporting the buffer 200 on the stepping line 100 by a forklift or a vehicle in the prior art. Thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the buffer 200 and the offline speed of the buffer 200. A longitudinal pushing mechanism 22 is provided, and the longitudinal pushing mechanism 22 is used to push the multiple buffers 200 on the stepping line 100 one by one into the pallet 30 along the first direction. Then the transverse pushing mechanism 21 is used to push the buffer 200 in the pallet 30 to the end of the pallet 30 along the second direction until the pallet 30 is filled with the buffer 200. Thus, the manual transfer method of transferring the buffer 200 on the stepping line 100 by a forklift or a vehicle in the prior art can be replaced, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the buffer 200 and the offline speed of the buffer 200.
