[0022] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention by describing the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, with the aim of helping those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention and to facilitate their implementation.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the rail transit damper coupler mounting structure includes a frame beam 1, a bracket 11 is detachably connected to the frame beam 1, a damper 2 is arranged between the brackets 11, and hooks 23 are provided at both ends of the damper 2, and the hooks 23 are hinged to the brackets 11.
[0024] Damper 2 is the energy-absorbing component between the cars. It absorbs impact energy during vehicle startup and braking. Through its smooth and rapid response, damper 2 ensures passenger comfort. Damper 2 can utilize electromagnetic damping buffers, electronic damping buffers, or eddy current damping buffers to meet application requirements in different environments. It connects to the vehicle's control system to achieve automatic fine control, enhancing the automation and intelligence level of the overall system. Hook 23 is the connecting component between the cars. Turning and cornering are achieved through the articulation of hook 23 and bracket 11. Hook 23 is mounted on damper 2, reducing the use of connectors, achieving a component-less development approach, and improving installation efficiency.
[0025] A connecting plate 12 is provided between the frame beam 1 and the bracket 11. A reinforcement plate 13 is provided within the frame beam 1. Bolts 16 are provided at the ends of the bracket 11, passing through the connecting plate 12, the frame beam 1, and the reinforcement plate 13. The connecting plate 12 increases the contact area between the bracket 11 and the frame beam 1, distributing the tightening force of the bolt 16, ensuring the flatness of the bracket 11 installation and, in turn, the reliable function of the hook head 23 and the damper 2. The reinforcement plate 13 is perpendicular to the end plate of the frame beam 1. After passing through the reinforcement plate 13, the bolt 16 can penetrate the frame beam 1 and be tightened on the other end plate of the frame beam 1 using a nut. The reinforcement plate 13 stabilizes the position of the bolt 16, ensuring a reliable connection.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the damper 2 includes a cylinder 21 and a piston rod 22. The hook 23 includes a first hook 24 and a second hook 25. The first hook 24 is provided with a first flange 26 at one end, and the piston rod 22 is provided with a second flange 27 at one end. A snap ring 3 is provided on the outside of the first and second flanges 26, 27, which press the first and second flanges 26, 27. The second hook 25 is provided at the end of the cylinder 21. The provision of hooks 23 at both ends of the damper 2 allows the bracket 11 to be pre-installed on the frame rail 1. The two hooks 23 are then hingedly connected to the bracket 11, reducing installation difficulty. When the hooks 23 are used to dock and install between two carriages, the first hook 24 and the piston rod 22 are finally installed using the snap ring 3. This avoids the bracket 11 being installed last, close to the frame rail 1, which would cause installation difficulties due to limited space.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame beam 1 is provided with a reinforcing rib 14, the top of which is L-shaped. Welding holes 15 are provided in the top of the frame beam 1, located above the reinforcing plate 13 and the reinforcing rib 14. The top of the reinforcing rib 14 is bent into an L-shape, creating a flat contact surface with the inside of the frame beam 1. This increases the welding area and ensures the precise positioning of the reinforcing rib 14 and the reinforcing plate 13. The provision of welding holes 15 in the top of the frame beam 1 facilitates welding operations, integrating the reinforcing rib 14, the reinforcing plate 13, and the frame beam 1, significantly enhancing the strength of the frame beam 1. The welding holes 15 are evenly spaced, corresponding to the length of the reinforcing plate 13 and the reinforcing rib 14.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame rail 1 is constructed of welded sheet metal, with the edges of the reinforcement plate 13 contacting the inner side of the frame rail 1. Formed by sheet metal welding, the frame rail 1 is hollow and lightweight. The reinforcement plate 13 is square, with its four edges contacting the inner side of the frame rail 1. During the splicing and welding process of the frame rail 1, the reinforcement plate 13 serves as a positioning reference for the sheet metal, maintaining the relative distance between the sheets and ensuring tight and reliable welding between components.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the clamping ring 3 are connected with fastening bolts 31, and the fastening bolts 31 are arranged in pairs. The clamping ring 3 is a split clamping ring 3 arranged opposite to each other. Figure 4 Only the lower half of the snap ring 3 is shown. The fastening bolt 31 is connected in the Z direction. There is no interference from other components at the connection position, which is suitable for the final installation process of the damper coupler. The first hook head 24 and the piston rod 22 are detachable, which is convenient for later maintenance and replacement.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the middle of the reinforcing plate 13 and the reinforcing rib 14 are provided with a weight-reducing hole 17. The middle of the bracket 11 and the connecting plate 12 are also weight-reduced. The above structure reduces the overall weight of the frame rail 1 and its connecting parts, achieving a lightweight design.
[0031] The installation process of the rail transit damper coupler is as follows: the reinforcing rib 14 and the reinforcing rib 14 plate are welded to the inside of the frame beam 1, and then the frame beam 1 sheet metal is welded into a whole, and the bolts 16 are used to pass through the bracket 11 and the connecting plate 12 to fix the two to the end plate of the frame beam 1, and the first hook head 24 and the damper 2 are respectively hingedly installed on the bracket 11 of the two carriages. Finally, the first hook head 24 and the flange of the piston rod 22 are clamped with the clamping ring 3, and tightened with the fastening bolt 31 to complete the installation process.
[0032] The rail transit damper coupler installation structure simplifies the installation structure of the existing rail vehicle damper coupler, reduces the number of connecting parts, and improves assembly efficiency. Through the use of the clamping ring 3, the operational difficulty of the docking installation between carriages is reduced, and the structure of the frame beam 1 is strengthened. It has the advantages of light weight and simple structure, improves the connection reliability between the bracket 11 and the frame beam 1, reduces the deformation effect of the frame beam 1, and ensures the driving stability and safety of the vehicle.
