Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of railway turnout switching equipment, in particular to an electric hand crank for a switch machine. Background Art

[0002] The main function of rail transit turnouts is to enable vehicles to switch from one track to another, so as to give full play to the line's capacity. Usually, the action of the turnout is realized by the switch machine, such as from the fixed position to the reverse position, and from the reverse position to the fixed position. Under normal conditions of the signal interlocking system, the switch machine automatically realizes the corresponding action according to the action instruction. When the signal interlocking system fails, the switch machine cannot move automatically. At this time, it is necessary to manually use the hand crank to manually crank the turnout, so that the switch machine can move and realize the turnout rotation. The hand crank commonly used at present is composed of a hand crank, a connecting rod and a sleeve. When in use, the sleeve is put on the interface of the switch machine, and then the hand crank is rotated to complete the corresponding action.

[0003] This kind of hand crank is completed by the staff's wrist strength, which is not friendly to the staff. At present, there is an electric hand crank on the market, which is assisted by an electric drill. The specific method is to directly fasten the sleeve part to the electric drill head, and then press the electric drill rotation button to achieve the corresponding action of the switch machine. However, this kind of electric hand crank cannot take into account the function of manual hand crank. If the electric drill is out of power, the switch machine cannot be realized. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above technical problems, the utility model provides an electric hand crank for a switch machine, which has both a manual mode and an electric mode and can better cope with fault situations.

[0005] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions to achieve the technical purpose:

[0006] An electric hand crank for a switch machine comprises a hand crank, a connecting rod, a sleeve and a power assembly. The hand crank and the connecting rod are rotatably connected. One end of the sleeve is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, and the other end is used to connect to the switch machine. The sleeve is mounted with a power assembly, and the power assembly comprises an electric motor. The central axis of the electric motor and the sleeve are located on the same axis and can drive the sleeve to rotate.

[0007] Furthermore, the power assembly also includes a controller connected to the motor to control the rotation of the motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the power assembly also includes a start button for controlling the start and stop of the power assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the power assembly also includes a power interface for connecting to a power source.

[0010] Further, the power assembly further includes a direction conversion switch for selecting the rotation direction of the sleeve.

[0011] Further, the hand crank and the connecting rod are connected by a pin shaft, and the sleeve and the connecting rod are connected by a pin shaft.

[0012] Further, a first limit button is installed at the connection between the hand crank and the connecting rod, and a second limit button is installed at the connection between the sleeve and the connecting rod.

[0013] Further, when the first limit button and the second limit button are in the pressed state, the hand crank, the connecting rod and the sleeve rotate relative to each other, and the hand crank and the sleeve are both perpendicular to the connecting rod or in a straight line.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: It has both a manual mode and an electric mode at the same time. In the electric mode, the time for manually operating the switch can be saved, enabling the staff to complete this skill more easily. When the battery runs out of power or the motor fails, the manual mode can be used to better handle the failure situation, improving work efficiency and ensuring safety at the same time. The overall structure is simple and clear, and it can be freely folded and stored conveniently. Description of the Drawings
