TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a sand box cover, concretely relates to a sand box cover with long service life. BACKGROUND
[0002] The main function of the sand box of the motor train unit is to store quartz sand and uniformly spread the quartz sand on the rail surface in the running direction of the wheel through the sand spreading system when needed to increase the friction between the wheel and the rail, prevent the wheel from idling or skidding in the case of rain and snow or climbing, and ensure the stable running and safe braking of the train. The sand box covers used in the locomotives such as Shaoshan series electric locomotives and harmonious electric locomotives are all made of plastic material. In the long-term use process, the sand box covers are easily damaged and have short service life due to the weathering effect of wind and sunlight. In addition, there is no locking device between the sand box cover and the sand box, and the sand box cover is easily dropped in the use environment of strong vibration of the locomotive. SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model aims at overcoming the defects of the prior art and providing a sand box cover with simple structure, stable and reliable performance, high safety and long service life.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts a sand box cover with long service life, which comprises a cover body arranged on a box body, a stainless steel cover plate rotatably arranged on the cover body, a locking assembly arranged on the cover body and used for locking the stainless steel cover plate, the locking assembly comprises a bolt arranged on the cover body, a nut arranged in the cover body and connected with the bolt, a locking piece rotatably arranged on the bolt, and a compression spring arranged between the locking piece and the bolt, one side of the locking piece is provided with a locking part matched with the stainless steel cover plate, one side of the stainless steel cover plate is provided with a protruding block matched with the locking part, the locking part abuts on the protruding block, and the locking part and the stainless steel cover plate form limiting cooperation.
[0005] The sand box cover adopts the stainless steel cover plate integrally formed by stainless steel, and will not be damaged in long-term use, so the service life is long. The locking assembly can lock the stainless steel cover plate on the cover body, and the stainless steel cover plate will not fall off due to vibration in the use environment of strong vibration of the locomotive. Therefore, the sand box cover has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance, high safety and long service life.
[0006] In particular, the locking piece has a positioning boss matched with the cover body, the cover body is provided with a positioning groove matched with the positioning boss, the positioning boss is rotatably arranged in the positioning groove, and the positioning boss and the cover body form rotary connection cooperation. The positioning boss of the locking piece is rotatably arranged in the positioning groove of the cover body, so that the reliable rotation of the locking piece on the cover body can be ensured, thereby improving the working reliability of the sand box cover.
[0007] Specifically, a positioning hole is provided on the other side of the stainless steel cover plate, and a positioning pin is provided on the cover body. The positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole, forming a rotatable connection between the stainless steel cover plate and the pin shaft. The stainless steel cover plate is rotatably mounted on the positioning pin of the cover body, thereby facilitating the assembly of the stainless steel cover plate and the cover body, making assembly more convenient.
[0008] Specifically, a sealing groove is provided on the inner wall of the cover, and a sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove to seal with the box body. The sealing ring can play a sealing role, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sand box cover and providing better protection.
[0009] Specifically, the locking component is provided with a positioning step that cooperates with the compression spring. The compression spring is fitted onto the bolt, with one end of the spring abutting against the positioning step and the other end abutting against the head of the bolt. The two ends of the spring abut against the head of the bolt and the positioning step of the locking component, respectively, thus facilitating the assembly of the spring with the bolt and the locking component, resulting in higher assembly efficiency.
