Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coal hopper car accessories, and more specifically, relates to a bottom door structure of a hopper car and a hopper car. Background Technology
[0002] The KM70 coal hopper car, as one of the main 70t-class railway freight cars, is primarily used for transporting bulk goods such as coal and ore. It can meet the needs of power plants, ports, coal preparation plants, and steel mills with fixed formations, cyclical use, and fixed-point loading and unloading. It is suitable for use on sites with unloading trenches or high platforms that allow simultaneous unloading from both sides. Unloading can be done quickly via pneumatics or manually. Operators control the opening and closing of the bottom door by operating a series of components in the pneumatic control device and the bottom door opening and closing mechanism. However, in existing KM70 coal hopper cars, when the bottom door is open, coal overflows through the gap between the bottom door and the hopper end plate during unloading, flowing between the bottom door pin and the lock body. This increases closing resistance during the bottom door closing process. After long-term use, this may cause deformation of the transmission components in the bottom door opening and closing mechanism, affecting the flexibility of the bottom door opening and closing and the reliability of the bottom door locking. Furthermore, during long-term use, the bottom door has experienced problems such as hinge folds and cracking of the weld seams on the upper door frame.
[0003] The bottom door pin, part of the bottom door assembly, directly bears the weight of the bottom door or the weight of the bottom door plus cargo when the vehicle is empty or loaded. Furthermore, the bottom door pin rubs against the bottom door pin sleeve during opening and closing; therefore, its surface undergoes carburizing treatment after machining to improve its hardness and wear resistance. The bottom door pin sleeve, as a consumable part, has a relatively lower material hardness than the bottom door pin and will be replaced after wear during use. Due to space constraints, an elastic retaining ring is used for axial positioning of the bottom door pin sleeve. However, because the elastic retaining ring is only 1.5mm thick and the groove height is 1mm, it can only withstand a very small axial force. In practical applications, the elastic retaining ring has been lost, affecting the opening and closing of the mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a bottom door structure and a hopper car. The bottom door of the hopper car can effectively prevent coal spillage and reduce wear on the bottom door pin and lock body through the baffle, ensuring flexible opening and closing of the bottom door. At the same time, the connection size of the bottom door hinge is increased, and a semi-circular retaining ring is used to prevent the loss of the elastic retaining ring.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a funnel cart bottom door structure, comprising:

Detailed Implementation
[0033] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0034] This utility model provides a funnel cart bottom door structure, including:
[0035] The bottom door has baffles at both ends along the horizontal direction on its inner side, and the baffles are perpendicular to the bottom door.
[0036] Multiple bottom door hinges are evenly distributed at the top of the bottom door, with the height of the bottom door hinges not less than 55mm and the width not less than 100mm.
[0037] Two bottom door pins are respectively set at both ends of the bottom door. The bottom door pins near the sleeve have a groove along the circumference. Two semi-ring retaining rings are movably embedded in the groove. When the two semi-ring retaining rings are fixed in the groove by the retaining spring, the semi-ring retaining rings push the sleeve against the bottom door pin.
[0038] Specifically, the bottom door structure features baffles on both sides of the bottom door. This prevents coal from overflowing from the sides of the bottom door into the space between the bottom door pin and the lock body during coal unloading, thus preventing wear and deformation of the bottom door pin during opening and closing. Additionally, the bottom door hinges are replaced with larger hinges, increasing their load-bearing capacity and preventing fatigue damage. Furthermore, two easily removable semi-circular retaining rings are installed in the bottom door pin's groove. When the sleeve needs to be fixed to the bottom door pin, the two semi-circular retaining rings can be installed in the groove and then secured in place by a retaining spring. This ensures the sleeve remains firmly against the bottom door pin, preventing it from being lost.
[0039] In addition, the height of the bottom door hinge should be set to be greater than 55mm. This height refers to the length of the bottom door hinge connecting part that fits against the door panel. It is necessary to ensure that the welding length between the connecting part and the door panel is greater than 55mm. The width of the bottom door hinge should be set to be greater than 100mm. This width refers to the horizontal width of the bottom door hinge connecting part. It is necessary to ensure that the welding length between the connecting part and the door panel and the upper door frame is greater than 100mm.
[0040] Optionally, the bottom door includes:
[0041] The door panel has a left door frame and a right door frame at its outer ends.

[0042] The upper door frame is located at the top of the door panel;
[0043] Multiple uprights are evenly distributed on the outside of the door panel. The uprights are arranged vertically and are welded between the upper door frame, the second bottom door beam, the first bottom door beam, and the lower door frame.
[0044] Specifically, the bottom door uses a single steel plate as the door panel, with a thickness of 5mm. On the outer side of the door panel, upper and lower door frames, a bottom door crossbeam, and left and right vertical door frames are installed in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. In addition, columns are installed between the upper and lower door frames and the bottom door crossbeam to improve the overall strength of the door panel.
[0045] Optionally, the thickness of the first bottom door beam is greater than the thickness of the left and right vertical door frames, and vertical door frame reinforcing angle irons are welded to the connection points of the two ends of the first bottom door beam with the left and right vertical door frames, respectively.
[0046] Specifically, reinforcing angle irons for the vertical door frames are added at the welding points of the first bottom door crossbeam and the left and right vertical door frames. This allows the horizontal and vertical frames of the bottom door to be connected as a whole. The horizontal connecting surface of the reinforcing angle irons for the vertical door frames is welded to the first bottom door crossbeam, and the vertical connecting surface of the reinforcing angle irons for the vertical door frames is welded to the two vertical door frames, thereby increasing the connection stability of the bottom door at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical dimensions.
[0047] Optionally, the left and right door frames are made of cold-formed channel steel, the first bottom door beam is made of rectangular hollow steel pipe, and the upper door frame, the second bottom door beam, and the lower door frame are made of cold-formed angle steel.
[0048] Specifically, the two door frames are formed by bending cold-formed channel steel, with one end closed. The first bottom door beam is made of cold-formed rectangular hollow steel pipe, with both ends bent and sealed.
[0049] Optionally, the baffle is welded to the inner side of the door panel, and a blocking plate is provided at the weld joint between the baffle and the door panel. The bottom door pin is located within the shielding area of the baffle.
[0050] Optionally, the baffle is fan-shaped.
[0051] Specifically, the baffle adopts a fan-shaped structure, which can achieve the same effect as coal while reducing the area and weight of the baffle; the fan-shaped baffle is installed on both sides of the bottom door plate, and a blocking plate is added at the welding point between the fan-shaped baffle and the door plate; when the bottom door is opened, the fan-shaped baffle blocks the gap between the bottom door and the funnel end plate, preventing coal from overflowing and flowing between the bottom door pin and the lock body.
[0052] Optionally, the bottom door pin is positioned in the area between the first bottom door crossbeam and the second bottom door crossbeam.
[0053] Optionally, the end of the bottom door pin furthest from the sleeve is L-shaped, and the bottom door pin is welded to the outer surface of the left and right vertical door frames.
[0054] Specifically, the bottom door pin is set between the two bottom door crossbeams, which can improve the support strength of the bottom door area where the bottom door pin is installed, and the bottom door pin is connected to the left and right vertical door frames through two mutually perpendicular planes, which can improve the welding strength of the bottom door pin.
[0055] Optionally, the bottom door hinge includes an L-shaped connecting part, the flat plate of which is welded to the upper door frame, and the vertical plate of which is welded to the outer side of the door panel.
[0056] Specifically, the large-sized bottom door hinges are connected to the upper door frame and door panel respectively through connecting parts. This can increase the connection rigidity of the bottom door hinges and prevent the weld seams of the bottom door hinges from opening.
[0057] This utility model also provides a funnel cart, including the aforementioned funnel cart bottom door structure.
