[0043] Embodiment one:
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 , as shown in Figure 5 , the lifting device 1 includes a fixedly arranged fixed plate 11, a mounting assembly 12 for connecting the string scanning support 2, and an elastic connecting rod assembly 13 for driving the string scanning support 2 to separate from the track 3. The top of the mounting assembly 12 is rotatably connected to both ends of the fixed plate 11, and the bottom of the mounting assembly 12 is an installation portion for connecting the string scanning support 2. The probe wheel at the bottom of the string scanning support 2 is arranged to roll. One end of the elastic connecting rod assembly 13 is elastically connected to the fixed plate 11, and the other end is slidingly connected to the bottom of the mounting assembly 12.
[0045] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , the fixed plate 11 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 4 of the flaw detection vehicle and can be fixed by bolts. The fixed plate 11 is a long strip-shaped plate structure, and the first connecting plate 111 is connected to both ends of the top surface of the fixed plate 11. The side surface of the first connecting plate 111 is used to connect the mounting assembly 12.
[0046] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown, the mounting assembly 12 comprises a first hanging ear 121, a second hanging ear 122, a mounting screw 123, and a compression spring 124. The first hanging ear 121 and the second hanging ear 122 are both plate-shaped structures, and the first hanging ear 121 and the second hanging ear 122 are arranged at intervals. The top of the first hanging ear 121 and the top of the second hanging ear 122 are penetrated by the mounting screw 123, and the mounting screw 123 is threadedly connected with the first connecting plate 111 on the fixed plate 11. The top of the first hanging ear 121 and the top of the second hanging ear 122 can rotate along the mounting screw 123. The bottom of the first hanging ear 121 and the bottom of the second hanging ear 122 are connected with the string-sweeping support 2. In this embodiment, the two ends of the string-sweeping support 2 are connected through the mounting assembly 12. The compression spring 124 is sleeved on the mounting screw 123 and is located between the first hanging ear 121 and the second hanging ear 122 and between the first hanging ear 121 and the first connecting plate 111, respectively. The compression spring 124 can make the forces on the two sides of the string-sweeping support 2 uniform. The bottom of the first hanging ear 121 and the side surface away from the second hanging ear 122 are connected with the end of the elastic connecting rod assembly 13.
[0047] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6 , the elastic connecting rod assembly 13 comprises an elastic member 131, a connecting rod body 132, and a rocker 133. The first shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 11. The top of the connecting rod body 132 is connected to the second shaft 134. In this embodiment, the elastic member 131 is a spring, which is always in a stretched state. The two ends of the elastic member 131 are hooked on the first shaft 112 and the second shaft 134, respectively. The upper half of the connecting rod body 132 is rotationally connected to the side surface of the fixed plate 11 through the third shaft 135. The bottom of the connecting rod body 132 is rotationally connected to the rocker 133. The two end side surfaces of the rocker 133 are connected with a driving rod 1331. The driving rod 1331 is perpendicularly connected with the rocker 133. The bottom of the first hanging ear 121 is provided with an arc-shaped slot 1211. The driving rod 1331 is slidingly connected in the arc-shaped slot 1211.
[0048] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6 , the elastic connecting rod assembly 13 further comprises a limiting plate 136. The limiting plate 136 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed plate 11. The side surface of the limiting plate 136 abuts against the side surface of the connecting rod body 132, so that the connecting rod body 132 remains in a vertical state, which keeps the probe wheel at the bottom of the string-sweeping support 2 effectively coupled with the steel rail.
[0049] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown, the elastic linkage assembly 13 also includes a hook 137, a first hanging rod 138, and a second hanging rod 139. One end of the hook 137 is rotatably connected to the third shaft 135, and the other end of the hook 137 has two grooves, which can respectively fit and hook onto the first hanging rod 138 and the second hanging rod 139. The first hanging rod 138 and the second hanging rod 139 are respectively fixed to the side of the fixing plate 11 and located on both sides of the linkage body 132. The distance between the first hanging rod 138 and the second shaft 134 is greater than the distance between the second hanging rod 139 and the second shaft 134. When the hook 137 is located as shown... Figure 2 When the position shown is such that the hook 137 is engaged with the first hanging rod 138, the connecting rod body 132 remains vertical, and the probe wheel at the bottom of the sweeping bracket 2 is effectively coupled with the rail; when the hook 137 rotates counterclockwise, after the hook 137 is hooked onto the second hanging rod 139, the top of the connecting rod body 132 also rotates counterclockwise, pulling the spring to extend, and the bottom of the connecting rod body 132 also rotates counterclockwise, pulling the rocker arm 133 to move diagonally upward, thereby pulling the sweeping bracket 2 up, so that the probe wheel is disengaged from the rail, so as to smoothly leave the obstacle.
[0050] The working process of this embodiment:
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, when the elastic element 131 is stretched, the top of the connecting rod body 132 is stretched by the spring and tends to move to the right. The part of the connecting rod body 132 located below the third axis 135 tends to move to the left, but is abutted by the limiting plate 136. At the same time, the hook 137 is hooked together with the first hanging rod 138, which can also offset part of the spring force, forcing the connecting rod body 132 to be in a roughly vertical state. The bottom of the connecting rod body 132 is connected to the rocker arm 133, and the two ends of the rocker arm 133 are connected to the sweeping bracket 2, so that the probe at the bottom of the sweeping bracket 2 is in close contact with the rail and reaches a stable state when tested on the rail. During the movement, if the hook 137 falls off, due to the presence of the limiting plate 136, the connecting rod body 132 can still be kept in a vertical state, and the probe is in contact with the rail and will not fall off. When passing through a turnout, due to the large height difference, the hook 137 is then hooked onto the second hanging rod 139 at the other end, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the top and bottom of the connecting rod body 132 rotate counterclockwise, causing the rocker arm 133 to move to the upper right. This causes the mounting assembly 12 to rotate around the mounting screw 123 at the top, thereby raising the bottom of the mounting assembly 12 and raising the probe at the bottom of the sweep bracket 2. At this point, it can safely pass through the turnout. The spring is stretched, and the limit plate 136 can also prevent the hook 137 from loosening and rebounding. After passing through the turnout, the hook 137 can be released. Due to the tension of the stretching spring, the connecting rod body 132 returns to its original position. Figure 3 This condition allows the rail and the probe to make close contact again.
[0052] In the rail defect detection operation, the rail surface may have unevenness, protrusions or debris. The lifting device 1 can lift the detection probe at the protrusion obstacle, keep a safe distance from the rail, avoid direct contact with the rail surface obstacle and cause equipment damage, prolong the service life of the detection equipment, and reduce equipment maintenance and replacement costs.
[0053] The lifting height and position can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different rail types, different line conditions and different detection environments. Whether in straight tracks, curved tracks or complex areas such as turnout areas, the detection equipment can work stably, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment.
[0054] The detection personnel directly contact the rail, reducing the safety risks caused by rail movement, train passing and other factors during operation, providing a safer working environment for detection personnel, and helping to ensure the safety of railway operation.
[0055] Example two:
[0056] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 The lifting device 1 and the string scanning bracket 2 in the above embodiment one are included in the string scanning bracket assembly. The bottom of the mounting assembly 12 of the lifting device 1 is connected with the string scanning bracket 2, and the bottom of the string scanning bracket 2 is connected with a plurality of probes.
[0057] As shown in Figure 7 , and referring to Figure 3 , the string scanning bracket 2 is a device for detecting rail defects. When the string scanning bracket is in a detection state, the hook 137 is hung together with the first hanging rod 138, the bottom of the connecting rod body 132 is connected with the rocker 133, and the two ends of the rocker 133 are connected with the string scanning bracket 2, so that the probe at the bottom of the string scanning bracket 2 is closely attached to the rail to test the stable state on the rail. As shown in Figure 8 , and referring to Figure 4 , when passing through the turnout, the hook 137 is clamped on the second hanging rod 139 at the other end, the top of the connecting rod body 132 is counterclockwise rotated, the bottom is also counterclockwise rotated, the rocker 133 is driven to move upward to the right, and the mounting assembly 12 is rotated around the top mounting screw 123, so that the bottom of the mounting assembly 12 is lifted, the probe at the bottom of the string scanning bracket 2 is lifted, and the turnout can be safely passed through. After passing through the turnout, the hook 137 can be released. Due to the tension of the tension spring, the connecting rod body 132 returns to Figure 7 state, so that the rail 3 and the probe are in close contact again.
[0058] The device is simple to install and easy to operate; the lifting device 1 can automatically adjust the position and angle of the probe according to the actual situation of the rail surface, ensure that the probe and the rail surface always maintain a good coupling state, and is not affected by the surface condition
[0059] Embodiment three:
[0060] As shown in Figure 9 The flaw detection vehicle includes the serial scanning support assembly of the above embodiment two and a vehicle body 4. The serial scanning support assembly is connected with the vehicle body 4. Specifically, the fixed plate 11 of the lifting device 1 is connected at the front end or the rear end of the vehicle body 4, so that when the probe wheel is in close contact with the rail, as shown in Figure 7
[0061] This embodiment can also be extended to other flaw detection devices.
[0062] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some technical features can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
