[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, proposes a stable rail vehicle outer wheel stopper, comprising:

[0037] The wheel blocking frame 1 has a first through opening 101, and the first through opening 101 is arranged along the height direction;

[0038] The support member 2 is movably disposed in the first opening 101 , and has support portions 201 at both ends of the support member 2 . The support portions 201 are polygonal and are used to be placed on sleepers.

[0039] In this embodiment, the wheel stop frame 1 is designed as a frame structure and is provided with a first opening 101 arranged along the height direction for accommodating and guiding the up and down movement of the support member 2. The height change is achieved by adjusting it manually or electrically to adapt to sleepers and ballast conditions of different heights.

[0040] There is a support part 201 at each end of the support member 2. These support parts 201 are designed to be polygonal. Compared with the traditional circular shape, the polygonal support part 201 can better disperse the pressure, increase the surface area in contact with the sleepers, and improve the support stability.

[0041] The wheel blocker can be quickly deployed through simple manual operation without complicated installation steps. Rescue personnel can adjust the height of the support member 2 according to actual conditions so that it is firmly placed on the sleeper to form a stable support point.

[0042] The design of the polygonal support 201 enables the wheel blocker to adapt to various sleeper sizes and shapes, and provide reliable support even when the ballast is loose or the sleepers are uneven. This reduces the risk of lateral sliding of the vehicle during rerailing, improves the safety factor of the entire rescue operation, reduces the need for repeated adjustments and inspections, and helps to shorten the rescue time and speed up the accident handling speed.

[0043] Furthermore, the support member 2 has a connecting portion 202, two supporting portions 201 are respectively located at two ends of the connecting portion 202, the connecting portion 202 has a fixing groove 203, the first through opening 101 has a plurality of first fixing holes 102, and the plurality of first fixing holes 102 are arranged along the height direction of the first through opening 101;

[0044] The first fastener 3 passes through the fixing groove 203 and the first fixing hole 102 and is used to fix the support member 2 .

[0045] In this embodiment, a connecting portion 202 is designed at the center position of the support member 2, and the connecting portion 202 serves to connect the supporting portions 201 at both ends, and a fixing groove 203 is provided thereon. On the inner wall of the first opening 101 of the wheel blocking frame 1, a plurality of first fixing holes 102 are arranged along the height direction. The positions and numbers of these first fixing holes 102 are designed according to actual needs to meet the support requirements of different heights. By aligning the fixing grooves 203 with different first fixing holes 102 and fixing them with the first fasteners 3 (such as bolts, pins or buckles, etc.), the support member 2 can be adjusted in height within a certain range. In this way, the support member 2 can be flexibly adjusted to the optimal position according to the actual sleeper height and terrain conditions, thereby achieving a better support effect.

[0046] Furthermore, the support member 2 is movable and rotatably disposed in the first through opening 101 , and has a plurality of fixing grooves 203 , which are circumferentially disposed on the side of the connecting portion 202 . After the support member 2 rotates, one of the fixing grooves 203 is aligned with one of the first fixing holes 102 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the support member 2 can move in the height direction and rotate in the first opening 101. A plurality of fixing grooves 203 are arranged on the side of the connecting portion 202, which are distributed circumferentially around the connecting portion 202. When the support member 2 is rotated to a specific angle, one of the fixing grooves 203 will be aligned with a first fixing hole 102 in the first opening 101. At this time, the support member 2 can be fixed in the rotated position by the first fastener 3, thereby improving adaptability and stability. When facing a sleeper with a certain inclination angle or an uneven surface, a better fit can be achieved by rotation, thereby improving adaptability and stability.

[0048] Furthermore, the wheel blocking frame 1 has a limiting portion 103 , which is located in the first through opening 101 , and the support member 2 has a limiting groove 204 , and the limiting portion 103 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove 204 .

[0049] In this embodiment, a limiting portion 103 is provided inside the wheel blocking frame 1, and the limiting portion 103 is located at the first opening 101. A limiting groove 204 matching the limiting portion 103 is provided on the support member 2, so that when the support member 2 moves up and down or rotates in the first opening 101, the limiting portion 103 can slide along the inner wall of the limiting groove 204 but will not separate, thereby controlling the movement trajectory of the support member 2, avoiding positioning errors caused by excessive movement or rotation, ensuring the stability of the support member 2 in various adjustment states, and providing additional support points for the support member 2. Even under the action of external forces, the overall stability of the structure can be maintained, reducing the risk of shaking or deviation.

[0050] Furthermore, the wheel blocking frame 1 also has a bottom support portion 104, which is used to be placed on the ballast; the bottom support portion 104 has a second opening 105, and also includes: a hanging member 5, the hanging member 5 is movably arranged in the second opening 105, and one end of the hanging member 5 has a hanging portion 501 for hooking the rail.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bottom support portion 104 is a part of the wheel stopper frame 1, which is mainly used to be placed directly on the ballast to serve as a supporting base for the wheel stopper frame 1 and the ballast, thereby helping to improve the overall stability. A second opening 105 is designed inside the bottom support portion 104, and the hanging member 5 is a component that can move in the second opening 105. By moving and adjusting the position, the precise positioning of the hanging portion 501 is achieved, thereby improving the hooking effect of the hanging portion 501, which not only increases the stability of the wheel stopper, but also ensures that the wheel stopper will not be displaced due to external force during the rescue process, especially when the rescue vehicle attempts to return to the normal track from the derailed state, this connection provides additional support and guidance, thereby reducing the risk of derailment again.

[0052] Furthermore, the other end of the hanging member 5 has a threaded portion 502 , and also includes: a fastening nut 6 , which is threadedly connected to the threaded portion 502 , and after the fastening nut 6 is threadedly rotated, it abuts against the side wall of the bottom support portion 104 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the other end of the hanging member 5 is designed with a threaded portion 502, which is a structure with external threads, and is intended to be threadedly connected with the fastening nut 6. The design of the threaded portion 502 ensures that the length of the hanging member 5 can be quickly adjusted according to actual conditions during the rescue process. The fastening nut 6 is a standard fastener, and its inner side has an internal thread that matches the threaded portion 502 of the hanging member 5. By rotating the fastening nut 6, it can move along the threaded portion 502 until the outer side of the fastening nut 6 abuts against the side wall of the bottom support portion 104. Prevent the hanging member 5 from moving unnecessarily due to vibration or other external forces during the rescue process.

[0054] Furthermore, the hanging portion 501 is in an arc shape, and a contact protrusion 503 is provided at the arc of the hanging portion 501 for contacting with the rail.

[0055] In this embodiment, the hooking portion 501 is designed to be curved. This shape is designed to better adapt to the contour of the rail and provide a natural fitting surface, thereby ensuring stable contact between the hooking portion 501 and the rail during the rescue operation. The curved design also helps to disperse stress, reduce local excessive pressure, and protect the rail from damage. Special abutment protrusions 503 are designed at the curved part of the hooking portion 501. These protrusions can be in close contact with the surface or edge of the rail to increase friction. The combination of the curved hooking portion 501 and the abutment protrusions 503 not only improves the connection strength between the hooking member 5 and the rail, but also enhances the stability of the entire rail vehicle outer wheel stopper. During the rescue process, this design can effectively prevent the displacement of the wheel stopper and ensure the safety and efficiency of the rescue operation.

[0056] Furthermore, the wheel blocking frame 1 also has a blocking portion 106 and a reinforcing portion 107 . The blocking portion 106 is located on the upper side of the wheel blocking frame 1 and is arranged obliquely for contacting one side of the vehicle. The reinforcing portion 107 is located in the middle of the wheel blocking frame 1 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the blocking portion 106 is located on the upper side of the wheel blocking frame 1 and is designed to be arranged obliquely. Its main function is to directly contact one side of the vehicle, provide a solid support point for the vehicle, and prevent the vehicle from sliding laterally during the rescue or rerailing process. The oblique arrangement of the blocking portion 106 takes into account the possible lateral force of the vehicle. Through reasonable angle design, these forces can be effectively dispersed and resisted to ensure the stability of the vehicle during the resetting process. The reinforcement portion 107 is located in the middle of the wheel blocking frame 1, and its main function is to increase the overall rigidity and strength of the wheel blocking frame 1. Since the wheel blocking frame 1 needs to withstand a large load and impact during the rescue process, the design of the reinforcement portion 107 can significantly improve its anti-deformation ability, ensuring that the wheel blocking frame 1 will not be structurally damaged due to excessive force during use. The reinforcement portion 107 is usually made of high-strength material and is tightly combined with other parts of the wheel blocking frame 1 by welding or integral molding to form a more solid structural system.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Reference Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the support member 2 is a split structure, and the two support parts 201 are detachably arranged at the two ends of the connecting part 202. The radial dimension of the connecting part 202 is smaller than the radial dimension of the supporting part 201, and the connecting part 202 and the end faces of the two support parts 201 close to the connecting part 202 form a limiting groove 204.

[0060] The supporting portion 201 has a plug-in slot 205, and both ends of the connecting portion 202 have plug-in portions 206, which are used to be plugged into the plug-in slot 205; the plug-in slot 205 has a second fixing hole 207, and the plug-in portion 206 has a third fixing hole 208, and also includes: a second fastener 4, which passes through the second fixing hole 207 and the third fixing hole 208, and is used to fix the supporting portion 201 and the connecting portion 202.

[0061] Compared with Example 1, in this embodiment, the support member 2 is designed as a split structure, consisting of three independent parts: two support parts 201 and a connecting part 202. The advantage of this design is that each part can be manufactured, transported and replaced independently, reducing the cost of production and subsequent maintenance;

[0062] The radial dimension of the connecting portion 202 is smaller than the radial dimension of the supporting portion 201. This difference in size not only helps to firmly connect the supporting portion 201 and the connecting portion 202, but also enables the supporting portion 201 to better bear weight. At the same time, the smaller size of the connecting portion 202 is conducive to reducing the overall volume and weight of the wheel blocker and improving portability. At the same time, this structure can also naturally make the connecting portion 202 and the end faces of the two supporting portions 201 close to the connecting portion 202 together form a limiting groove 204, which not only ensures the stability and reliability of the structure, but also allows easy disassembly and reassembly when necessary.

[0063] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
