CONCRETE IMPLEMENTATION
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment relates to a constant pressure self-locking device for a locomotive guiding assembly, which includes a multi-way valve 1, two hydraulic cylinders 2, and two balance valves 3.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, both hydraulic cylinders 2 are mounted on the guide assembly. The two balance valves 3 are respectively mounted on the two hydraulic cylinders 2 and are both connected to the multi-way valve 1. Specifically, the multi-way valve 1 includes ports A101, B102, C103, and D104, and the balance valves 3 include ports E301 and F302. Ports E301 on the two balance valves 3 are connected to ports A101 and B102 on the multi-way valve 1, respectively, and ports F302 on the two balance valves 3 are connected to ports C103 and D104 on the multi-way valve 1, respectively. Through the balance valves 3 and the multi-way valve 1, the synchronization of the two hydraulic cylinders 2 is ensured, and the balance valves 3 can also lock the hydraulic cylinders 2.
[0027] The guide assembly includes a connecting shaft 4, a plug rod 7, a spring 8, a mounting base 9, and a nut 10.
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a guide wheel 5 is mounted on each end of the connecting shaft 4 via a rotating shaft 11. Two through holes are provided on the connecting shaft 4 in the vertical direction, located near both ends of the connecting shaft 4. Specifically, as... Figure 3 As shown, the through hole includes an upper through hole 601 and a lower through hole 602, and the inner diameter of the upper through hole 601 is larger than the inner diameter of the lower through hole 602.
[0029] The insertion rod 7 passes through the through hole and has an external thread at its lower end. The top of the insertion rod 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 9, and the bottom extends to the outside of the connecting shaft 4 and is fitted with a nut 10 for pre-tightening the spring 8. Preferably, the insertion rod 7 fits snugly against the inner wall of the lower through hole 602 to improve the stability of the insertion rod 7.
[0030] The spring 8 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the insert rod 7 and placed in the upper through hole 601. The outer diameter of the spring 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper through hole 601 and larger than the inner diameter of the lower through hole 602. The mounting base 9 is a cylinder with an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the spring 8, so that the spring 8 is installed between the lower through hole 602 and the mounting base 9. The top height of the spring 8 is higher than the top height of the through hole.
[0031] The mounting seat 9 is provided with a threaded hole 12 at the top, and the piston rod of the oil cylinder 2 is screwed into the threaded hole 12, so that the oil cylinder 2 is mounted on the guiding assembly.
[0032] Working principle: in use, the cylinder body of the oil cylinder 2 is connected to the tractor through the ear plate, and the piston rod of the oil cylinder 2 is screwed onto the connecting shaft 4 of the guiding assembly. Under the action of the balance valve 3 and the multi-way valve 1, the two oil cylinders 2 can act synchronously, ensure the force balance of the two guide wheels, make the traction torque be evenly distributed, and can keep constant pressure, improve the stability of the tractor. The balance valve 3 can also lock the oil cylinder 2, realize the self-locking function of the guiding assembly, and does not need to additionally configure a self-locking device. On the other hand, the guiding assembly is screwed with the nut 10 to give the spring 8 a pre-tightening force, and the spring 8 is contracted. When the guide wheel 5 is suspended, the spring 7 will give the connecting shaft 4 a downward thrust, so that the guide wheel can always be on the track plate, avoiding the phenomenon that the guide wheel 5 is suspended, thereby effectively avoiding the derailment of the locomotive, and enabling the locomotive to stably travel.
