Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of EMU maintenance and repair, specifically relating to a device for testing the torque of the wiper arm bolts of EMUs. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the CRH6A EMU has two windshield wipers and four wiper arms, located in the two lead cars. When the wiper system is inspected in the maintenance depot, it requires climbing a 3-meter ladder to install a 50mm high hex socket into the wiper arm mounting bolts. The socket is then combined with the hex socket using torque testing, resulting in a combined height of 72mm. Since the distance between the two wiper arms is 50.5mm and the gap between the wiper arms and the EMU body is 65mm, the currently available torque testing tools cannot be used perfectly parallel, resulting in tilting and making it extremely easy for bolts to strip, thus preventing the operation from being completed. When bolts strip, the entire wiper system needs to be disassembled to replace the wiper arm mounting bolts, which takes approximately 3 hours, resulting in a long processing time and low torque testing efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, a new technology is needed to solve the problem of low efficiency in the torque verification of the installation bolts for the rain wiper arms of high-speed trains in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a device for verifying the torque of wiper arm bolts on high-speed trains. This device can effectively and quickly perform verification operations within limited positions between the wiper arm and the train body, and between wiper arms, thereby improving the efficiency of verifying the torque of wiper arm bolts on high-speed trains.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A torque verification device for wiper arm bolts on high-speed trains includes a torque unit, a connector, and a screw-tightening head. One end of the torque unit has a connection opening, and one end of the connector is inserted into the connection opening and detachably fixedly connected to the torque unit. The other end of the connector is fixedly connected to the screw-tightening head. The screw-tightening head has a first center hole and a second center hole with opposite opening orientations at both ends. The radial cross-section of the first center hole and the second center hole is a regular hexagon. The size of the first center hole is smaller than the size of the second center hole.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 2A torque verification device for wiper arm bolts on high-speed trains includes a torque 1, a connecting member 2, and a tightening head 3. The length of the torque 1 can be selected according to the actual use. One end of the torque 1 has a connection opening. One end of the connecting member 2 is inserted into the connection opening and detachably fixed to the torque 1. The other end is fixedly connected to the tightening head 3 by welding. The two ends of the tightening head 3 have a first center hole 311 and a second center hole with opposite opening orientations. The radial cross-section of the first center hole 311 and the second center hole is a regular hexagon. The size of the first center hole 311 is smaller than the size of the second center hole. The torque 1 is perpendicular to the axial center lines of the first center hole 311 and the second center hole. Torque 1 is an open-type torque 1. The first center hole 311 and the second center hole can be adapted to bolt heads of different sizes. In use, the tightening head 3 is parallel to the mounting bolt, the first center hole 311 or the second center hole is placed on the bolt head to be checked, and then the torque 1 is applied to tighten the bolt for verification. It can effectively and quickly perform verification work in the limited positions between the wiper arm and the car body, and between wiper arms. The torque verification device for wiper arm bolts of EMU trains has a simple structure, is easy to use, can shorten maintenance time, reduce labor costs, and improve the efficiency of torque verification work for EMU wiper arm bolts. Among them, the first center hole 311 and the second center hole are both internal hexagonal holes. The first center hole 311 can be used to tighten M6 wiper arm bolts, and the second center hole can be used to tighten M8 wiper arm bolts. The tightening head 3 is parallel to the mounting bolt, which can reduce the risk of bolt stripping.

[0029] Using conventional tools, it takes 60 minutes for two people to complete the torque verification of a set of trains. However, using the torque verification device for the wiper arm bolts of this solution, it only takes 10 minutes for two people to complete the torque verification of a set of trains, saving 50 minutes of working time. This greatly reduces the verification time, effectively improves verification efficiency, and reduces labor costs.

[0030] Specifically, the two ends of the screw head 3 have a first section 31 and a second section, respectively. The first center hole 311 is disposed on the first section 31, and the second center hole is disposed on the second section. The outer perimeter of the cross section of the second section perpendicular to the center line is larger than the outer perimeter of the cross section of the first section 31, which makes it easier to distinguish the positions of the first center hole 311 and the second center hole, and makes it easier to fit the first center hole 311 or the second center hole onto the head of the bolt to be checked.

[0031] Specifically, the first segment 31 and the second segment are fixedly connected to form the screw head 3, and the connector 2 is fixedly connected to the second segment. The sum of the lengths of the first segment 31 and the second segment is not greater than 40 mm. The sum of the lengths of the first segment 31 and the second segment is preferably 30 mm. The smaller sum of the lengths of the first segment 31 and the second segment is suitable for EMUs with different gaps between the wiper arm and the car body, avoiding wear between the wiper arm and the car body surface. Its structure does not interfere with the EMU components, achieving the effect of quickly verifying the torque 1 of the wiper arm bolt. For the CRH6A EMU, due to the manufacturing process of the car body, the gap between the wiper arm and the car body is usually 65mm, and the gap between wiper arms is 50.5mm. The height of the commonly used knob fixture is generally around 72mm, which is much larger than the above-mentioned gap dimensions of the train set. However, the sum of the lengths of the first section 31 and the second section of the wiper arm bolt torque verification device in this solution is much smaller than the size between the wiper arm and the car body, and it can effectively meet the needs of different sized installation bolts. Within the limited operating conditions, it can ensure the quality of the verification operation.

[0032] Specifically, the first segment 31 and the second segment both have a regular hexagonal cross-section perpendicular to the centerline, and the wall thickness of the first center hole 311 and the second center hole are equal. The first center hole 311 and the second center hole are interconnected for ease of casting.

[0033] Specifically, the connector 2 has a connecting post 21 protruding from one end away from the screw head 3. The connecting post 21 is perpendicular to the center line. One end of the torque 1 has a handle part 11, and the other end face has a connecting hole 12. The connecting hole 12 is a countersunk hole. The opening of the connecting hole 12 forms the connecting opening, and the connecting post 21 can be inserted into the connecting hole 12.

[0034] Specifically, the device for verifying the torque of the wiper arm bolts on high-speed trains in this solution also includes a fixing member 4. One end of the fixing member 4 passes through the side of the torque 1 and extends into the connecting hole 12 to be detachably and fixedly connected to the connecting column 21, thereby fixing the connecting column 21 to the torque 1. In this case, the fixing member 4 can preferably be a bolt or screw, which fixes the connecting column 21 to the torque 1 together by a threaded connection, making it easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0035] Specifically, the torque 1 has a socket 13 on its side that communicates with the connecting hole 12. The socket 13 can be a threaded hole to facilitate a threaded connection with the fixing member 4. The connecting post 21 has a fixing hole 211 corresponding to the socket. One end of the fixing member 4 passes through the socket 13 and extends into the fixing hole 211 to be detachably fixed to the connecting post 21, while the other end protrudes outward from the torque 1. The cross-section of the connecting post 21 matches the cross-section of the connecting hole 12 and is quadrilateral, which can limit the shaking of the connecting post 21 within the connecting hole 12. The cross-section of the connecting post 21 and the cross-section of the connecting hole 12 are preferably rectangular. The connection structure between the connecting member 2 and the torque 1 is relatively stable, making it less likely that the tool will fall into the wiper fluid drain and become stuck, thus clogging the drain.

[0036] Specifically, connector 2 can be made of M8 10mm thick and 41mm long. The 10mm thick 10mm long ...

[0037] Specifically, depending on the actual use, the fastener 4 can also be configured such that one end is elastically connected to the connecting post 21. That is, one end of the fastener 4 is inserted into the fixing hole 211 on the connecting post 21 and elastically connected to the connecting post 21 within the fixing hole 211. A conventional elastic connection structure can be used within the fixing hole 211 to elastically connect the connecting post 21 and the fastener 4. The length of the fastener 4 is less than the depth of the fixing hole 211. In use, pressing the fastener 4 into the connecting hole 12 or the fixing hole 211 will pull the connecting post 21 out of or into the connecting hole 12. Afterward, the connecting post 2 and the torque 1 can be disassembled and reassembled. When the fastener 4 is released after pressing, the elastic connection structure can drive one end of the fastener 4 to extend out of the fixing hole 211, and when the fixing hole 211 is aligned with the insertion hole 13, it will pass through the insertion hole 13 and extend out of the insertion hole 13.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
