Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of train coupler detection and relates to a coupler detection device, in particular to a coupler height detection device in the railway transportation industry. Background Art

[0002] The coupler is an important component of the train, mainly used for the hooking operation between the train and the marshalling. The opening and closing status, position height and other states of the coupler before operation are closely related to the safe operation of the train.

[0003] During the operation of the train, the coupler will inevitably be worn and damaged. For example, the bending of the car body frame beam and the hook body will cause the coupler height to drop. If the coupler height does not meet the requirements, it is very easy to cause the running vehicle to decouple, seriously threatening driving safety. Therefore, the coupler height needs to be measured and adjusted during vehicle maintenance to ensure that its height is within the specified range to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.

[0004] The traditional way to inspect the coupler is through manual visual inspection, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has certain safety risks. There are also a few who use data acquisition equipment to detect the coupler height, but its installation is easily affected by external environments such as rails and ballast.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent coupler height detection device to improve the detection efficiency, avoid the influence of adverse external environments such as rail settlement and loose ballast, and ensure the accuracy of the detection results.
