[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a multi-road condition translation rail vehicle, which includes a rail vehicle body 1, a first wheel group 2, a second wheel group 3, a first drive unit 4, multiple second drive units 5 and multiple calibration plates 6. The first wheel group 2 and the second wheel group 3 are respectively used to drive the rail vehicle body 1 to move under different road conditions, the first drive unit 4 is used to drive the second wheel group 3 to switch states, and the second drive unit 5 is used to drive the first wheel group 2 and the second wheel group 3 to operate.

[0022] The first wheel set 2 is fixed to the bottom of the railcar body 1. The second wheel set 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the railcar. One end of the first drive unit 4 is connected to the railcar body 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second wheel set 3. The first drive unit 4 is used to drive the second wheel set 3 to rotate, so that the second wheel set 3 has at least a standby position and a working position. The standby position is higher than the first wheel set 2, and the working position is lower than the first wheel set 2. This realizes the switching between the first wheel set 2 and the second wheel set 3 to drive the railcar body 1. The first wheel set 2 and the second wheel set 3 can be arbitrarily set as needed, with one for ground travel and the other for track travel, without limitation. In this embodiment, the first wheel set 2 is used for ground travel, and the second wheel set 3 is used for track travel. The second wheel set 3 has a flange tangent to the side of the track. Therefore, the first wheel set 2 is generally made of a material with a certain elasticity, such as rubber, while the second wheel set 3 uses a metal wheel.

[0023] A calibration plate 6 is fixed to the side of the railcar body 1. The calibration plate 6 forms a calibration plane. The calibration plane is flush with the edge of the first wheelset 2 or the second wheelset 3, and serves as a reference for the first wheelset 2 or the second wheelset 3 when adjusting the position of the railcar body 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second wheelset 3 is used for track travel, so the calibration plane is flush with the flange of the second wheelset 3. When switching from ground travel to track travel, the position of the railcar body 1 is adjusted relative to the calibration plane so that the calibration plane is flush with the side of the track. At this point, the first drive unit 4 drives the second wheelset 3 to the working position, and the wheels of the second wheelset 3 just enter the track.

[0024] Preferably, there are at least two calibration plates 6, each mounted on the front side of the railcar body 1. The calibration plane of one calibration plate 6 is coplanar with the flange of the left wheel of the second wheelset 3, and the calibration plane of the other calibration plate 6 is coplanar with the flange of the right wheel of the second wheelset 3. Thus, the two calibration plates 6 serve as references for the left and right wheels of the second wheelset 3, respectively. Furthermore, a calibration plate 6 can also be mounted on the rear side of the railcar as a reference for the two rear wheels of the second wheelset 3, which will not be discussed further here.

[0025] Preferably, the calibration piece 6 includes a first calibration portion 6a and a second calibration portion 6b, the first calibration portion 6a is connected to the second calibration portion 6b, the first calibration portion 6a forms a calibration plane along the vertical direction, and the second calibration portion 6b forms a calibration plane along the inclined direction, wherein the first calibration portion 6a is used for vertical calibration, and sometimes the operator needs to stand up to look down for calibration, while the second calibration portion 6b is tilted, and the operator can calibrate while sitting. At this time, the calibration plane corresponds to the track in front, and due to visual errors, it is generally only used for rough calibration. Furthermore, the multi-road condition translation rail vehicle also includes an alignment block 7, which is fixed on the side of the rail vehicle body 1 and is located below the calibration piece 6. When the alignment block 7, the calibration piece 6 and the side of the track are in the same plane, the second wheel group 3 is aligned with the track. Furthermore, the alignment block 7 has an alignment slot 7a formed vertically therein, and the alignment slot 7a is flush with the calibration plane. The coordination of the near calibration piece 6 and the far alignment block 7 can reduce visual errors and improve calibration accuracy. Therefore, the calibration piece 6 is generally mounted on the upper side of the railcar body 1, while the alignment block 7 is generally mounted on the lower side of the railcar body 1. Furthermore, to facilitate the second wheelset 3 to cut into the track, its lower side can be configured as an inclined surface with a certain slope, allowing the second wheelset 3 to cut into the track within a relatively small error range.

[0026] Multiple second drive units 5 are respectively connected to the first wheel set 2 and the second wheel set 3 to respectively drive the first wheel set 2 and the second wheel set 3 to rotate. Specifically, the second wheel set 3 includes a support arm 3a and a drive wheel 3b. One end of the support arm 3a is hinged to the railcar body 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the drive wheel 3b. The first drive unit 4 is hinged to the railcar body 1 at one end and hinged to the support arm 3a at the other end. Preferably, the first drive unit 4 is a hydraulic cylinder. Using a hydraulic cylinder to drive the support arm 3a is low-cost and easy to install. Preferably, the second drive unit 5 is a motor. Using a motor to drive the first wheel set 2 and the second wheel set 3 is convenient for assembly and control.

[0027] In summary, the present invention provides a multi-road condition translation rail vehicle. When the second wheel set 3 is in the standby position, the first wheel set 2 is in operation. When the first drive unit 4 drives the second wheel set 3 to the working position, the second wheel set 3 is in operation. This achieves wheel set switching for different road conditions, allowing the rail vehicle to adapt to different road conditions. A calibration sheet 6 corresponding to the edge of the first wheel set 2 or the second wheel set 3 is used as a reference to facilitate alignment of the first wheel set 2 or the second wheel set 3 with the track.

[0028] The above specific embodiments of the present invention do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
