Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of urban rail transit vehicle maintenance, in particular to an escape door switch operating device. Background Art

[0002] Subway trains are usually equipped with emergency evacuation doors, also known as escape doors, located in the center of the front of the cockpit. Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1, when a subway or urban rail train encounters an emergency such as fire or failure, the escape door can provide an emergency passage directly to the ground, ensuring that passengers can evacuate the car quickly and safely. Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes: a door frame assembly connecting the vehicle body and the escape door, a positioning brake assembly, a main ramp and a secondary ramp that unfold into a slope pedal with a handrail to connect the vehicle end to the track, a lock assembly that keeps the lock tongue in the lock plate when the escape door is closed to prevent the escape door from opening accidentally, a brake sling assembly and a short sling restraint assembly that maintain the position of the ramp after the escape door is unfolded and assists in closing the escape door, a chain that passes through the side hole of the escape door to support the escape door, and a control system for the deployment of the ramp and the passage through the curve. The brake assembly that closes the door with a handle, the tread assembly that covers the gap between the door frame assembly and the main ramp, the handrail assembly and long and short slings that provide protection and support for passengers when escaping, the fixed small ramp assembly that covers the gap between the driver's cab floor and the tread to prevent passengers from getting into accidents when escaping, the emergency evacuation door panel that serves as an aesthetic and soundproofing function, the emergency evacuation door decorative panel that serves as an aesthetic function, the installation box assembly that connects the door frame, serves as a transition between the lower part of the door frame and the vehicle body, and also serves as a mounting component for the main hinge of the escape door and plays a load-bearing role. Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the brake assembly mainly transmits force through the reducer assembly and the brake gear to control the opening and closing of the escape door, and the gear transmission part is located in the cab roof.

[0003] When opening, closing, or inspecting an escape door, it is usually necessary to first push the lock handle to the unlocked position to open the escape door. A switch operating tool similar to a crank is then required, connected to a rotating shaft switch (typically a circular shaft with a long, rectangular protrusion on the outer wall) on the reducer assembly in the gear transmission mechanism, such as the recovery handle described in Chinese invention CN109987108A. Turning the crank slowly lowers or retracts the escape door. However, because the gear transmission mechanism is located within the top plate, the crank needs to be held high with both hands and maintained at the same height. Lowering the escape door requires turning the crank clockwise for approximately six minutes, while retracting the escape door requires turning the crank counterclockwise for approximately ten minutes due to the door's own weight before the door is retracted to a suitable locking position. This long period of holding the crank high with both hands is time-consuming and labor-intensive, significantly reducing maintenance efficiency and increasing fatigue for maintenance personnel. There is also the risk of injury from the crank falling. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clearly, the utility model will be further described in detail below with the help of the drawings and specific embodiments. It needs to be explained here that a lot of specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the utility model, but the utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from the description here, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalization without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] Secondly, the utility model is described in detail in combination with the schematic view, and when the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail, the sectional view of the device structure will be partially enlarged without the general proportion for the convenience of description, and the schematic view is only an example, which should not limit the scope of protection of the utility model here. In addition, three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width and depth should be included in actual manufacture.

[0036] Thirdly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiments" in the present application refers to specific features, structures or characteristics that can be included in at least one implementation of the utility model. "In an embodiment" appearing in different places in the specification does not refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is independent of or mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0037] The utility model proposes an escape door switch operating device, referring to Figure 4 , including shell 1, corner gear 2, crank handle 3 and connecting rod 4. Corner gear 2 is arranged in shell 1, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the first gear 21 and the second gear 22 are arranged perpendicularly to the central axis and mesh with each other. The first gear 21 is connected to an input shaft 23 that passes through the housing wall, and the second gear 22 is connected to an output shaft 24 that passes through the housing wall. The force input from the input shaft 23 is changed 90 degrees and then output through the output shaft 24, thus changing the transmission direction. This changes the direction of power transmission by 90 degrees from horizontal to vertical, simultaneously transmitting and adjusting torque and speed, achieving the desired output speed and torque through a 1:1 gear ratio. The crank handle 3 is connected to the first gear 21 via the input shaft 23. One end of the connecting rod 4 is connected to the second gear 22 via the output shaft 24, and the other end has a groove that mates with the shaft switch on the reducer assembly D.

[0038] The following is a detailed description of the various components of the escape door switch operating device described above.

[0039] The housing 1 of one embodiment of the present invention is a hexahedron. The input shaft 23 and the output shaft 24 respectively pass through two adjacent side walls of the housing 1 . The crank 3 and the connecting rod 4 are respectively located on two adjacent side surfaces of the housing 1 .

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, a handle 5 is fixedly provided on a side wall of the housing adjacent to the side wall through which the input shaft 23 and the output shaft 24 pass, so as to facilitate hand-held operation by an operator.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, the handle 5 of one embodiment of the present invention comprises a support 51, a grip 52, and a U-shaped bracket 53. One side of the support 51 is bolted to the side wall of the housing 1, and the other side is fixedly connected to two straight rods. The grip 52 is fixed between the two straight rods and arranged parallel to the support 51. The U-shaped bracket 53 securely connects the two straight rods, allowing the operator to position their arm within the hollow portion of the U-shaped bracket 53 during operation, thereby improving the stability of the handheld tool.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, the connecting rod 4 of one embodiment of the present invention includes a first connecting rod 41 and a second connecting rod 42. One end of the first connecting rod 41 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 24 through a sleeve, and the other end is connected to one end of the second connecting rod 42 through a universal coupling 43. The other end of the second connecting rod 42 is provided with a groove that matches the rotating shaft switch on the reducer assembly D. The universal coupling can connect two axes that are not in the same straight line, namely the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42, to transmit torque and rotational motion, allowing a certain angle and displacement error between the two axes, adapting to the inaccurate alignment of the axes caused by operation, compensating for the deviation between the axes, and increasing the flexibility of operation. At the same time, the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 can also be folded 180° through the universal coupling, reducing the storage size of the tooling, and facilitating storage and carrying.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, a butterfly bolt 44 is provided at one end of the second connecting rod 42 where a groove is formed. The butterfly bolt 44 penetrates through the outer wall of the second connecting rod 42 and extends deep into the groove to secure the shaft switch on the reducer assembly D during operation to prevent idling.

[0044] like Figure 9 As shown, the crank handle 3 of one embodiment of the present invention is bent to facilitate manual cranking. The operator inputs a rotational torque to open and close the emergency door by rotating the crank handle 3 , and one end of the crank handle is fixedly connected to the input shaft 23 through a shaft sleeve 31 .

[0045] When the operator uses the escape door switch operating device of the present invention to open or close the escape door A, Figure 10 As shown, simply insert the grooved end of the second connecting rod 42 into the brake assembly B to secure it against the outer wall of the shaft switch on the reducer assembly D. Tighten the butterfly bolt 44 to hold the shaft switch in place. Then, pass your left arm through the hollow space of the U-shaped bracket 53 to grasp the handle 52. With your right hand, rotate the crank 3. The power transmission direction is changed 90 degrees by the angle gear 2 to become vertical, rotating the shaft switch on the reducer assembly D. This force is then transmitted through the brake gear C to open and close the escape door. Turning the crank 3 clockwise opens the escape door; to close the escape door, turn the crank 3 counterclockwise.
