Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle door panel repair tooling, and in particular relates to a door panel fixing workbench. Background Art
[0002] Gondolas are a type of railway freight car. They are characterized by being uncovered and having side panels on all four sides, two of which feature retractable doors for easy unloading. Gondolas are primarily used to transport bulk cargo such as coal, ore, mining and construction materials, lumber, and steel. They can also be used to transport lightweight machinery. When covered with a waterproof canvas or other covering, they can replace covered cars in transporting rain-resistant goods. Therefore, gondolas are highly versatile and represent the largest proportion of freight cars.
[0003] After running for a period of time, the open wagon needs to be inspected and repaired. The door panel of the open wagon is one of the parts that is easily deformed and damaged. When repairing the lower side door of a general open wagon, it often involves replacing the hinges and the lower half of the door panel (240mm wide).
[0004] Hinge replacement involves beveling damaged, corroded, or cracked hinges with a flame, then butting the new hinges together for welding. After this, a large gap often exists between the new hinge and the old door panel, requiring clamping tools such as clamps to reduce the gap to ≤2mm before welding. The clamps must then be removed after welding. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, posing safety risks. Door panel replacement involves cutting a 240mm-wide old door panel, assembling the new panel (240mm wide), and spot-welding it. Due to the large gap between the old and new door panels, welding conditions are unsatisfactory, requiring clamping with tools such as clamps. During clamping, the door panel, unfixed, can shift from its original position due to external forces, resulting in poor clamping effectiveness, increased labor intensity, and compromised welding quality. Utility Model Content

The fixing mechanism 30 is used to press the door panel workpiece, and after the lower side door panel is replaced, the hinges can be closely attached to the new door panel, thereby ensuring the welding quality.
[0039] The positioning mechanism 20 includes a first positioning unit 21 on the inner side and a second positioning unit 22 on the outer side. The first positioning unit 21 is located at the center of the operating platform 10. The shape of the first positioning unit 21 can be made according to the shape of the lower side door of the open car, and the second positioning unit 22 is made according to the overall outer dimensions of the lower side door, so that the lower side door can be completely stuck in the positioning space, ensuring that the lower side door is firmly fixed during maintenance.
[0040] The first positioning unit 21 and the second positioning unit 22 can be made of metal plates or channel steel. They can be fixed on the operating table 10 by welding, screw connection, etc.
[0041] Multiple fixing mechanisms 30 are positioned on the operating table 10 along the circumference of the second positioning unit 22. The fixing mechanisms 30 should be positioned away from components such as the lower door hinge to avoid interference. The fixing mechanisms 30 can be positioned on either the second positioning unit 22 or the operating table 10 without affecting normal operation. The clamping rod 33 can be moved up and down electrically, pneumatically, or manually.
[0042] The door panel fixing workbench 1 can be used for door panel repair and welding according to the following steps:
