Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of railway vehicle maintenance tools, in particular to a railway freight car flat cotter pin loader and unloader. Background Art

[0002] The basic brake devices of railway freight cars are all connected by cotter pins, and cotter pins generally come in two types: round cotter pins and flat cotter pins. The technical requirement for flat cotter pins is that the two legs need to be split in both directions and wrap around the pin shaft, which is a relatively high technical requirement. The traditional processing tool is to hold a flat sleeve in one hand and forcefully break the two legs of the cotter pin. This method requires the inspector to be strong and cannot restore the two legs to a parallel state at one time, and the technical inspection time requirement must be considered in the rapid maintenance of freight car failures. Therefore, it is time-consuming and laborious for the inspector to handle it. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve the problem that loading and unloading a flat cotter pin is time-consuming and laborious due to space constraints during the maintenance of a railway freight car basic brake device.

[0004] The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a railway freight car flat cotter pin loader and unloader, comprising two sleeves and two reaction arms;

[0005] The two reaction arms are connected in a joint through which a joint pin is inserted so as to be relatively rotatable; the joint divides the reaction arm into a pliers body and a handle;

[0006] The pliers body includes a pliers body and a pliers head; one side of the sleeve is hinged to the pliers head, and the other side port serves as the insertion and extraction port for the foot of the flat cotter pin. The hinge axis of the sleeve is parallel to the joint pin, and the pliers body straddles the flat cotter pin. When the sleeve is folded back to the inside of the pliers body, the foot of the flat cotter pin is allowed to be inserted into the sleeve.

[0007] Further, the sleeve is a flat sleeve that can only accommodate a single leg of the flat cotter pin.

[0008] Furthermore, a notch is provided on the connection side of the sleeve and the pliers head to form two hinged ears, and the sleeve is connected to the pliers head via the two hinged ears.

[0009] Furthermore, a nut is fixed on the pliers head, and two hinged ears of the sleeve and the nut are connected by bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotation angle of the sleeve is greater than or equal to 320°.

[0011] Furthermore, the handle portion includes a first arc segment and a second arc segment, the first arc segment and the second arc segment are opposite in direction and smoothly connected, the arc length of the first arc segment is greater than that of the second arc segment, and the first arc segment is connected to the pliers body.

[0012] Furthermore, the pliers body includes a first part and a second part, the angle between the first part and the second part is an obtuse angle, the length of the second part is greater than the first part, the first part is connected to the handle part, and the second part is connected to the pliers head.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the pliers head connected to the sleeve is configured as a pointed end.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0015] The utility model provides a railway freight car flat cotter pin loader and unloader, which uses a sleeve that can rotate 320 degrees to be sleeved between the two legs of the flat cotter pin to fix the flat cotter pin, and then uses the lever principle to force the handle to be combined or opened, and the force is transmitted to the sleeve to open or fold the two legs of the flat cotter pin, which effectively improves the handling time and ensures the organization of train operation. The overall design of the railway freight car flat cotter pin loader and unloader is compact and reasonable, and the working principle of ordinary pliers is integrated into the loader and unloader, achieving the advantages of speed and time saving. The overall material has the characteristics of light weight and high strength, which is convenient to carry and has a long service life. At the same time, it solves the disadvantage of carrying multiple tools to handle the basic brake device in the past. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
