Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coupler detection, in particular to a novel foldable railway passenger car coupler height detection device. Background Art
[0002] A coupler is a hook at both ends of a train car or locomotive, which has the functions of connection, traction and buffering. A coupler is a vehicle component used to connect a locomotive and a vehicle or between vehicles, transmit traction and impact force, and keep a certain distance between vehicles. Before a train leaves the factory, the installation height of the coupler needs to be measured. The qualified height limit for coupler inspection is 880±10mm (according to the iron standard TB / T3044-2002TB / T3046-2002), that is, the height difference of couplers on the same vehicle shall not exceed 10mm. When the coupler height exceeds the allowable error range, the force-bearing area of the hook tongue of the coupler connection will be reduced, thereby causing the natural separation of the coupler, resulting in a decoupling accident, endangering driving safety, and the consequences are unimaginable. It not only seriously threatens driving safety, but also causes serious losses to people's lives and property. At present, most of the measurements of coupler height are still carried out using measuring tools such as steel tape measures. Although this method is convenient, the measurement accuracy is not high enough.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN219454906U discloses a locomotive coupler height measuring tool, including: a base, a mounting plate, a vertical pole and a vernier ruler, the mounting plate is slidably connected to the upper surface of the base, one end of the vertical pole is hinged to the upper surface of the mounting plate, the vernier ruler is connected to the vertical pole, the vernier ruler is a digital display vernier ruler, and the vernier ruler is used to measure the height of the locomotive coupler. The following problems exist in this technology: when measuring, the vernier ruler needs to be manually adjusted, which is inconvenient for measurement. In addition, the above patent cannot be folded and stored when idle, which also causes inconvenience in transportation. We propose a coupler height measuring tool; Utility Model Content

[0026] One end of the two folding beams 8 passes through and is fixedly connected to the circular shaft 7 respectively, the two ends of the two circular shafts 7 are hingedly connected to the two sides of the end of the main beam 1, the middle part of the main beam 1 is fixedly connected to two folding fixed magnets 1 6, and the ends of the two folding beams 8 are fixedly connected to folding fixed magnets 2 9.
[0027] The two ends of the main beam 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the unfolding fixed magnet 10, and the two folding beams 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the unfolding fixed magnet 2 11 at one end close to the circular axis 7.
[0028] The device further comprises an L-shaped cursor target 12 .

[0032] Working principle: When it is necessary to unfold, the two folding beams 8 are opened to separate the folding fixed magnet 1 6 and the corresponding folding fixed magnet 2 9. When the folding beam 8 swings and unfolds, the unfolding fixed magnet 2 11 and the corresponding unfolding fixed magnet 1 10 are adsorbed together. Figure 1 As shown, when the device needs to be folded, the operation steps are opposite to the above-mentioned unfolding steps, which will not be repeated;
