Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rail transit technology, and specifically relates to a primary suspension height adjustment device for rail transit vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing and advanced maintenance of railway vehicles, after the vehicle is completed, in order to ensure a balanced wheel weight distribution and reduce the risk of derailment, the vehicle needs to be weighed at 8 points. During the weighing process, the height of the primary suspension needs to be adjusted to ensure that the weight difference between each wheel meets the standard requirements.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 As shown, after the vehicle is completed, the bogie 6 supports the car body 5. The gap between the frame spring cylinder 10 and the axle box 9 is the primary suspension height of the vehicle. The primary suspension height values ​​at various points on the vehicle directly affect the weight distribution of the eight wheels. This height can be adjusted by adding or subtracting adjusting shims 8. However, because the gap between the upper plane of the bogie 3 frame and the lower plane of the bolster beam of the car body 5 is only 120mm, the operating space is narrow, making direct operation between the bogie 6 and the car body 5 inconvenient. Therefore, when adding or subtracting adjusting shims 8, it is mostly done by lifting the frame 11. Lifting the frame 11 requires simultaneously bearing the weight of the car body 5, resulting in complex tooling, high operational difficulty, low efficiency, and certain safety risks during the operation.
