During use and observation, it was found that this connection method makes the removal and replacement of the filter more cumbersome, reducing the convenience of using the device.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a pneumatic control unit structure for a subway coupler is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, an extrusion plate is fixed to the bottom middle part of the retaining spring; the surface of the extrusion plate is inclined; the extrusion plate is elastic; by setting the extrusion plate, the retaining spring will be squeezed by the extrusion plate after entering the internal groove of the air inlet, thereby increasing the contact area and extrusion effect between the retaining spring and the air inlet, and improving the convenience of fixing the retaining spring to the filter.

When the coupler is in a connected state, the first air control valve 12 will circulate air to the coupler through a pair of air outlet holes 14 to keep it connected. When the coupler needs to be unhooked, the air source passes through Air is supplied to a pair of air outlet holes 14, so that the second air control valve 13 will transmit an air control signal to the first air control valve 12, so that the first air control valve 12 performs a reversing action, and then the first air control valve 12 will supply air to the coupler through another set of air outlet holes 14, so that it is disconnected. When the air source passes through the air inlet hole 15, it will pass through the filter 17, and the filter 17 will filter and remove dust from the air source. At the same time, the filter 17 is clamped into the air inlet hole 15 through the retaining spring 16, so that the filter 17 can be quickly installed inside the air inlet hole 15. At the same time, the convenience of disassembly and maintenance of the filter 17 can be improved by removing the retaining spring 16; through the cooperation of the retaining spring 16 and the filter 17, the staff can quickly install and disassemble the filter 17 through the retaining spring 16, thereby improving the convenience of the device when using the filter 17.
[0025] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the middle bottom of the clamping spring 16 is fixedly connected to the extrusion plate 2; the surface of the extrusion plate 2 is inclined; the extrusion plate 2 is elastically set; when the filter 17 is clamped into the air inlet hole 15 by the clamping spring 16, the clamping spring 16 will move with the extrusion plate 2. Because the surface of the extrusion plate 2 is inclined, when the clamping spring 16 enters the air inlet hole 15, the extrusion plate 2 will also enter the air inlet hole 15 together, and the extrusion plate 2 will be deformed under the extrusion action and close to the inner wall of the air inlet hole 15 until the extrusion plate 2 enters the slot, and then the extrusion plate 2 will recover under the action of elasticity and squeeze the inner wall of the slot, thereby increasing the contact area between the clamping spring 16 and the slot; by setting the extrusion plate 2, the clamping spring 16 will be squeezed by the extrusion plate 2 after entering the slot inside the air inlet hole 15, thereby increasing the contact area and extrusion effect between the clamping spring 16 and the air inlet hole 15, thereby improving the convenience of fixing the filter 17 to the clamping spring 16.

The protrusions 32 will increase the contact area between the caliper and the fixing holes 3, increase the friction effect of the caliper on the retaining spring 16 when operating, and improve the convenience of removing the retaining spring 16.
[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, sound-absorbing cotton 4 is provided inside the air outlet 14; an elastic frame 42 is symmetrically fixed to the middle part of the sound-absorbing cotton 4; the elastic frame 42 is located between the sound-absorbing cotton 4 and the air outlet 14; when assembling the device, the staff can press a pair of elastic frames 42 to make the pair of elastic frames 42 approach each other, and the sound-absorbing cotton 4 will be deformed under the squeezing action of the elastic frames 42, and then the staff can stuff the deformed sound-absorbing cotton 4 into the air outlet 14. After the sound-absorbing cotton 4 completely enters the air outlet 14, the elastic frame 42 can be loosened, and the sound-absorbing cotton 4 will recover under the elastic force of the elastic frame 42 and be fixed inside the air outlet 14. The sound-absorbing cotton 4 will absorb the sound generated by the flow of air, thereby reducing the noise generated when the device is working.
[0028] See also Figure 5 As shown, a buffer pad 5 is fixed to the middle of the elastic frame 42; the buffer pad 5 is located between the elastic frame 42 and the air outlet 14; when the elastic frame 42 is stuck inside the air outlet 14 under the action of its own elastic force, the buffer pad 5 will move with the elastic frame 42 and contact the inner wall of the air outlet 14. Because the buffer pad 5 is flexibly set, the impact generated when the elastic frame 42 and the inside of the air outlet 14 contact will be absorbed by the buffer pad 5, reducing the damage caused by squeezing between the elastic frame 42 and the inner wall of the air outlet 14.
[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sealing gasket 6 is symmetrically fixed to the middle of the valve seat 1; the sealing gasket 6 is located on the top of the first air-controlled valve 12 and the second air-controlled valve 13 and is correspondingly arranged; after the first air-controlled valve 12 and the second air-controlled valve 13 are bolted to the valve seat 1, there will still be gaps between the first air-controlled valve 12, the second air-controlled valve 13 and the valve seat 1, and the sealing gasket 6 can be used to seal the gaps between the first air-controlled valve 12, the second air-controlled valve 13 and the valve seat 1 to reduce the contamination effect of dust and impurities in the air.
[0030] Working principle: The first air-controlled valve 12 and the second air-controlled valve 13 are in a connected relationship, and the retaining spring 16 is connected to the filter 17 through the card groove in the air inlet 15. When the coupler is in the connected state, the first air-controlled valve 12 will circulate the air to the coupler through a pair of air outlet holes 14 to keep it connected. When the coupler needs to be unhooked, the air source supplies air through a pair of air outlet holes 14, so that the second air-controlled valve 13 will transmit an air control signal to the first air-controlled valve 12, causing the first air-controlled valve 12 to perform a reversing action. Then the first air-controlled valve 12 will supply air to the coupler through another set of air outlet holes 14 to disconnect it. When the air source passes through the air inlet hole 15, it will pass through the filter 17, and the filter 17 will filter the air source. Dust removal, at the same time, the filter 17 is clamped into the air inlet hole 15 by the clamping spring 16, so that the filter 17 can be quickly installed in the air inlet hole 15, and the convenience of disassembly and maintenance of the filter 17 can also be improved by removing the clamping spring 16; when the filter 17 is clamped into the air inlet hole 15 by the clamping spring 16, the clamping spring 16 will move with the extrusion plate 2. Because the surface of the extrusion plate 2 is inclined, when the clamping spring 16 enters the air inlet hole 15, the extrusion plate 2 will also enter the air inlet hole 15 together. The extrusion plate 2 will be deformed under the extrusion action and close to the inner wall of the air inlet hole 15 until the extrusion plate 2 enters the slot. Then the extrusion plate 2 will recover under the action of elasticity and squeeze the inner wall of the slot, increasing The contact area between the circlip 16 and the slot; when the filter 17 needs to be disassembled, the staff needs to use tools such as circlip pliers to disassemble the circlip 16, and the staff can connect the caliper and the circlip 16 through the fixing hole 3 and the protrusion 32. The protrusion 32 will increase the contact area between the caliper and the fixing hole 3, and increase the friction effect of the caliper on the circlip 16 when the caliper operates; when assembling the device, the staff can press a pair of elastic frames 42 to make the pair of elastic frames 42 close to each other, and the sound-absorbing cotton 4 will be deformed under the squeezing action of the elastic frames 42. Then the staff can stuff the deformed sound-absorbing cotton 4 into the air outlet 14. After the sound-absorbing cotton 4 has completely entered the air outlet 14, the elastic frame 42 can be loosened, and the sound-absorbing cotton 4 will Under the elastic force of the elastic frame 42, it is restored and fixed inside the air outlet 14, and the sound-absorbing cotton 4 will absorb the sound generated by the air flow; when the elastic frame 42 is stuck inside the air outlet 14 under the action of its own elastic force, the buffer pad 5 will move with the elastic frame 42 and contact the inner wall of the air outlet 14. Because the buffer pad 5 is flexibly set, the impact generated when the elastic frame 42 contacts the inside of the air outlet 14 will be absorbed by the buffer pad 5; after the first air-controlled valve 12, the second air-controlled valve 13 and the valve seat 1 are bolted, there will still be a gap between the first air-controlled valve 12, the second air-controlled valve 13 and the valve seat 1, and the gap between the first air-controlled valve 12, the second air-controlled valve 13 and the valve seat 1 can be sealed by the sealing gasket 6.
