Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of railway tools, in particular to an eccentric cone extractor for railway turnouts. Background Art
[0002] The eccentric cone, also known as the eccentric adjustment cone, is a device in the fastener system of the high-speed railway turnout. It is used to adjust the lateral position of the turnout structure on the high-speed railway turnout. In the fine-tuning operation of the high-speed railway turnout, the adjustment of the turnout gauge and track direction is achieved by replacing the eccentric cone. Eccentric cones of different specifications correspond to corresponding levels of lateral adjustment distances. When replacing the eccentric cone of a new specification, the original eccentric cone needs to be removed and recovered. The cross-section of the eccentric cone is an ellipse on the outside and a perfect circle on the inside. The inner wall is smooth and cannot have adhesion, and the thickness of the side walls of the eccentric cone in all directions is inconsistent. Therefore, it is not easy to remove it in the actual replacement operation. If the eccentric cone is pried out with a crowbar or other tools, it is easy to cause the eccentric cone to deform or even crack. If the resulting fragments are retained in the hole of the eccentric cone assembled in the base plate, they must be cleaned out before a new eccentric cone can be replaced, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to improve the operation efficiency. In order to save time, there are operating tools that can hook and pull out the eccentric cone.
[0003] In comparison, a Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN219670966U discloses an eccentric cone extractor for a railway turnout, including a support seat and a lifting mechanism for lifting the eccentric cone, the lifting mechanism including a screw rod, the screw rod passing through a vertical through hole of the support seat, an adjusting cylinder being threadedly connected to the screw rod and a plane bearing being sleeved on the screw rod, the plane bearing being located between the adjusting cylinder and the vertical through hole, the bottom end of the adjusting cylinder being movably connected to the upper part of the plane bearing, and the inner diameter of the plane bearing being larger than the diameter of the vertical through hole.
[0004] The above patented movable claw arrangement requires the claw to be aligned first and then forcefully expanded to hook into the groove when hooking the bottom of the eccentric cone, which is inconvenient to operate. Therefore, a new device needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

The surface is provided with a rubber anti-skid layer, and the knob 206 is made of PVC. When the outer hook device hooks the bottom of the eccentric cone, the screw rod 205 is rotated by the knob 206, so that the top block 208 is pushed downward by the rotating block 207 under the support of the sleeve 201, and the outer hook device is fixed tightly. Then, the grip sleeve 204 is held by hand to rotate the lifting nut 203, so that it drives the plane bearing 202 to move downward. When the plane bearing 202 contacts the support plate 101, the lifting nut 203 is continuously rotated to push the sleeve 201 to move upward, thereby driving the lifting plate 301 to move upward to pull out the eccentric cone.
[0028] In this embodiment: the outer hook device includes a lifting plate 301, four cantilevers 302 are evenly installed at the four corners of the lifting plate 301, an elastic plate 303 is installed between two relatively cantilever arms 302, a hook 304 is arranged below the cantilever arm 302, a roller 305 is arranged at the bottom of the hook 304, the middle of the elastic plate 303 is bent, and the bending directions of the two elastic plates 303 are opposite, so that the four hooks 304 squeeze the elastic plate 303 through the cantilever arm 302 to shrink inward, so that the four hooks 304 can enter the inner hole of the eccentric cone at the same time, and the sleeve 201 is lifted by the lifting plate 301. The plate 301 drives the outer hook device to move downward, and the four claws 304 move downward to the bottom of the eccentric cone under the support of the roller 305, and then the lifting plate 301 is rotated through the sleeve 201 to align the claws 304 with the groove at the bottom of the eccentric cone.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, place the device above the eccentric cone, then make the four claws 304 squeeze the elastic plate 303 through the cantilever 302 to retract inward, so that the four claws 304 can enter the inner hole of the eccentric cone at the same time, then make the sleeve 201 drive the outer hook device to move downward through the lifting plate 301, and move the four claws 304 downward to the bottom of the eccentric cone under the support of the roller 305, then rotate the lifting plate 301 through the sleeve 201 to align the claws 304 with the groove at the bottom of the eccentric cone, and then the claws 304 will expand outward under the action of the elastic plate 303 and automatically hook into the eccentric cone The bottom groove is finally rotated by the knob 206 to rotate the screw rod 205, thereby pushing the top block 208 downward through the rotating block 207 under the support of the sleeve 201, tightening the four hook claws 304, and completing the fixation of the eccentric cone before lifting; when lifting, hold the grip sleeve 204 and rotate the lifting nut 203 to drive the plane bearing 202 to move downward. When the plane bearing 202 contacts the support plate 101, continue to rotate the lifting nut 203 to push the sleeve 201 upward under the support of the foot pad 103 and the support leg 102, thereby driving the lifting plate 301 to move upward to pull out the eccentric cone.
