Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of multiple hook robots, in particular to a multiple hook robot for railway operations. Background Art

[0002] Currently, railway operations often use train carriages to load coal ore, and use dumpers to unload the coal ore in the carriages.

[0003] When a train of fully loaded coal cars arrives at the power plant and stops at the tipping line, the operator selects the appropriate car position for hooking based on the dumper's unloading capacity. Next, the hook on the heavy-car shunting machine connects to the front hook of the separated cars, moving the grouped cars to the dumper for unloading. While the dumper is unloading, the operator manually removes the couplers in the grouping area and pries them apart to allow the heavy-car shunting machine to proceed with the next round of operations.

[0004] However, currently the process of breaking the coupler can only be done manually, which is complicated and inefficient for the operator. At the same time, since it requires proximity to the tipping machine, there are also major safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the present invention.

[0042] First, combine Figures 1 to 4 A coupling robot for railway operation according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, which is used to automatically realize the coupling operation of carriage couplers and has a wide range of application scenarios.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a multiple hook robot for railway operation according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a flip module, a telescopic compartment 200 , an extension frame 300 , a moving module, a driving module 500 and a multiple hook rod 600 .

[0044] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the flip module provides the driving force for flipping. The flip module includes a flip box 101, a flip shaft 102, and a flip unit. One end of the flip shaft 102 is connected to the telescopic compartment 200, and the other end of the flip shaft 102 is inserted into the interior of the flip box 101. The flip unit is located inside the flip box 101 and is connected to the flip shaft 102, driving the flip shaft 102 to rotate, thereby causing the telescopic compartment 200 to flip.

[0045] Further, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the flip unit includes: a flip motor 103, a worm 104, a worm gear 105, a driven bevel gear 106, and a driving bevel gear 107. The flip motor 103 is arranged inside the flip box 101; the two ends of the worm 104 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the flip box 101 for rotation; the worm gear 105 is mounted on the flip shaft 102 and meshes with the worm 104; the driven bevel gear 106 is mounted on the worm 104; the driving bevel gear 107 is mounted on the output end of the flip motor 103 and meshes with the driven bevel gear 106. By controlling the movement of the flip motor 103, the driving bevel gear 107 is driven to rotate, and the rotation of the driven bevel gear 106 causes the worm 104 to rotate, which in turn causes the worm gear 105 to rotate, and finally causes the flip shaft 102 to rotate, driving the telescopic chamber 200 to flip.

[0046] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the telescopic bin 200 is connected to the output end of the flip module and performs flipping motion under the action of the flip module. The top of the telescopic bin 200 is provided with a telescopic cavity 201. When the re-hook robot is not working, the extension frame 300 is retracted in the telescopic bin 200, and the telescopic bin 200 is in a vertical state.

[0047] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the extension frame 300 can be guided and slidably arranged in the telescopic cavity 201, so that it can be stored in the telescopic cavity 201 when not in use, saving the space occupied by the device. The extension frame 300 is a box structure with an open bottom.

[0048] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 4As shown, the moving module connects the extension frame 300 and the telescopic chamber 200, driving the extension frame 300 to move within the telescopic chamber 201. The moving module comprises a moving chamber 401, a connecting block 402, a rack 403, a moving motor 404, and a transmission gear 405. The moving chamber 401 is located at the bottom of the telescopic chamber 200. A moving chamber 4011 is provided within the moving chamber 401, which communicates with the telescopic chamber 201. The connecting block 402 is connected to the extension frame 300. The rack 403 is located at the bottom of the connecting block 402. The moving motor 404 is located within the moving chamber 401. The transmission gear 405 is mounted on the output end of the moving motor 404 and meshes with the rack 403. By controlling the operation of the moving motor 404, the transmission gear 405 rotates, causing the rack 403 to move forward and backward, thereby driving the extension frame 300 forward and backward.

[0049] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the drive module 500 is disposed inside the head end of the extension frame 300 and provides the driving force for lifting and rotating. The drive module 500 can be a mechanism that can achieve lifting and rotating motion in the prior art, such as a combination of a telescopic cylinder and a rotating cylinder, or a combination of an electric push rod and an electric turntable.

[0050] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the multiple hook rod 600 is connected to the output end of the driving module 500 and performs lifting and rotating movements under the action of the driving module 500.

[0051] Further, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, guide grooves 701 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the telescopic chamber 201, and guide blocks 702 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the extension frame 300. The guide blocks 702 are slidably connected within the guide grooves 701. The guide blocks 702 match the shape of the guide grooves 701, forming a dovetail shape. The arrangement of the guide blocks 702 and the guide grooves 701 ensures stable movement of the extension frame 300 within the telescopic chamber 201.

[0052] Furthermore, the multiple-hook robot for railway operation according to an embodiment of the present invention further comprises: a visual system (not shown in the figure), which is arranged on the extension frame 300 and is used to identify the position of the coupler.

[0053] Further, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the telescopic bin 200 and the extension frame 300 are made of stainless steel.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an anti-slip protective cover (not shown in the figure) is provided on the surface of the multiple hook rod 600 to prevent the multiple hook rod 600 from wearing the coupler when in contact with the coupler.

[0055] When in use, the flip box 101 of the re-hooking robot is connected to an external moving mechanism, and the external moving mechanism can drive the re-hooking robot to move (move parallel to the outside of the carriage). When re-hooking is required, the flip module drives the telescopic compartment 200 to flip 90° from a vertical state to a horizontal state, facing the direction of the carriage coupler, and then the moving module drives the extension frame 300 to move in the telescopic cavity 201 until the re-hooking rod 600 is moved to the top of the coupler, and then the driving module 500 drives the re-hooking rod 600 to descend and contact the coupler and then rotate to pry the coupler apart.

[0056] Above, refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model describes a railway coupling robot that replaces manual labor in the coupler uncoupling process, achieving higher levels of intelligence and efficiency while ensuring operator safety. This not only simplifies the operational process but also eliminates the need for operators to physically approach the coupling area, significantly reducing safety risks.

[0057] In this case, a unique extension frame 300 is introduced, capable of flexible telescopic movement within the telescopic compartment 200. This design cleverly leverages the principle of space utilization, allowing the extension frame 300 to retract into the telescopic compartment 200 when the system is not in use, significantly reducing the overall size of the equipment and further minimizing its space occupation. This ensures that the system maintains a high degree of flexibility and adaptability, both during operation and during non-operational periods, providing strong support for intelligent and efficient railway operations.
