Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail transit vehicle component transfer technology, and in particular to a bogie brake caliper storage and transport device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the traditional high-speed rail bogie manufacturing process, when entering the bogie brake caliper installation stage, the material preparation station needs to distribute the six brake calipers required for each bogie onto a pallet to the assembly station. The pallet only serves to hold the calipers and cannot prevent the parts from bumping or stacking. The assembly station then uses a gantry crane to lift the six brake calipers to the assembly workbench for piping assembly, and then uses the gantry crane to lift the six brake calipers to the corresponding positions on the frame for alignment and installation. In other words, the entire brake caliper assembly process for each bogie requires 12 lifting operations and 6 alignment operations. The operation is repetitive and monotonous, seriously wasting the operation cycle and consuming the operator's physical strength.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary for this utility model to provide an integrated storage and transportation device for bogie brake calipers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a bogie brake caliper storage and transportation device. This device can avoid collisions during the storage or transportation of brake caliper parts. When storing, it can be stacked to reduce the floor space occupied. When assembling, it reduces repetitive actions, that is, it reduces the number of repeated lifting and alignment, which helps to save the operation cycle and the physical exertion of the operator.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a bogie brake caliper storage and transportation device, comprising:

[0007] The storage and transport pallet and at least two mounting brackets, the storage and transport pallet having a base at the bottom for cooperating with a forklift, the base having a load-bearing area on the upper part for supporting two mounting brackets side by side;

[0008] The mounting bracket is fixedly connected at intervals with multiple vertically upward positioning posts. The positioning posts are provided with hooks for engaging with the upper attachment point of the brake caliper and baffles for engaging with the lower attachment point of the brake caliper, arranged from top to bottom.

[0009] Furthermore, the base is circumferentially formed with a side beam that the mounting frame side can abut against at the edge of the bearing area;

[0010] Furthermore, the storage and transportation pallet also includes vertical beams. Four vertical beams are evenly distributed around the upper part of the base. The vertical beams are used to space two adjacent bases so that the storage and transportation pallets can be stacked. The top of each vertical beam is fixed with a positioning pin for engaging with the positioning hole at the bottom of the base.

[0011] Furthermore, the height of the vertical beam is greater than the height of the brake caliper.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple lifting rings are fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and the frame is connected to the lifting equipment through these lifting rings.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the present invention provides a bogie brake caliper storage and transportation device, which includes a storage and transportation pallet and two mounting brackets. The base of the storage and transportation pallet can be connected to a forklift, and the upper part of the base can support the two mounting brackets side by side through a bearing area. The positioning posts of the mounting brackets are used to hang the brake calipers through hooks and baffle frames, which is safe and reliable. Compared with the prior art that uses standard pallets for storage and transportation, this device has the following advantages:

[0014] First, the device uses a mounting frame with hooks and baffles to hang the brake calipers, which can effectively prevent them from shifting during transportation and avoid collisions, thus protecting the appearance quality of the brake calipers. In addition, the brake calipers are fixed in position on the mounting frame, and the installation pipeline can be completed on the mounting frame, which helps to improve work efficiency.

[0015] Secondly, the storage and transportation pallets can be stacked using vertical beams, taking up little space. Each pallet supports six brake calipers via two mounting brackets, reducing the total number of lifting and alignment operations to two. This saves 20 minutes (approximately one-third of the total time) in the assembly of each bogie brake caliper, and reduces physical exertion during lifting and alignment by 80%, thus shortening the work cycle, reducing operator fatigue, significantly improving work efficiency, and lowering production costs.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] See Figure 1 , 2 As shown;

[0027] A utility model discloses a bogie brake caliper storage and transport device, comprising:

[0028] This utility model discloses a bogie brake caliper storage and transportation device, comprising:

[0029] The storage and transportation pallet 1 and two mounting racks 2 are provided. Of course, the number of mounting racks 2 can be set to two, four, six or more according to actual needs. This embodiment only uses two as an example.

[0030] The storage pallet 1 has a base 1.1 at the bottom for cooperating with a forklift. The base 1.1 has an insertion hole. The upper part of the base 1.1 has a bearing area 1.2 for supporting two mounting brackets 2 side by side.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 2 has multiple vertically extending positioning posts 2.3 fixedly connected at intervals. The positioning posts 2.3 are provided with hooks 2.1 for engaging with the upper attachment point of the brake caliper 3 and baffles 2.2 for engaging with the lower attachment point of the brake caliper 3 from top to bottom. Thus, the hooks 2.1 and baffles 2.2 work together to prevent the caliper from flipping and stably positioning it on the positioning posts 2.3. In this embodiment, there are three positioning posts 2.3, which is equal to half the number of the bogie brake calipers 3, so that the brake calipers 3 on one bogie are divided into two groups and stored on two mounting frames 2 respectively. The width of the hooks 2.1 on the positioning posts 2.3 is equal to the width of the attachment point, so as to prevent the brake calipers 3 from moving sideways.

[0032] See Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the base 1.1 has a quadrilateral structure, and the base 1.1 has a side beam 1.3 formed circumferentially at the edge of the bearing area 1.2, which can be abutted against by the side of the mounting frame 2. The side beam 1.3 prevents the mounting frame 2 from moving, thereby improving the safety of the device during transportation.

[0033] Preferably, the storage and transportation pallet 1 also includes vertical beams 1.4. Four vertical beams 1.4 are evenly distributed around the upper part of the base 1.1. The height of the vertical beams 1.4 is greater than the height of the brake caliper 3. The vertical beams 1.4 are used to space two adjacent bases 1.1 so that the storage and transportation pallets 1 can be stacked. The top of the vertical beam 1.4 is fixedly connected to a positioning pin 1.5 for engaging with the positioning hole at the bottom of the base 1.1 to prevent the top storage and transportation pallet 1 from tipping over.

[0034] See Figure 5 As shown, preferably, multiple lifting rings 2.4 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 2, and the lifting rings 2.4 are connected to the lifting equipment.

[0035] In the above technical solution, the present invention provides a bogie brake caliper storage and transportation device, the method of use of which is as follows:

[0036] During storage at work (e.g.) Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 6), first, place the two mounting frames 2 side by side in the load-bearing area 1.2 of the storage and transportation pallet 1 and close to the side beam 1.3. At the material preparation station, lift the brake caliper 3 out of the packaging box of the incoming material and hang it on the corresponding position of the positioning post 2.3 of the mounting frame 2. The positioning post 2.3 is engaged with the upper hanging point of the brake caliper 3 through the hook 2.1 and with the lower hanging point of the brake caliper 3 through the baffle 2.2. Each set of storage and transportation pallets 1 is equipped with two mounting frames 2. A total of 6 brake calipers 3 are hung and fixed on the two mounting frames 2. After the mounting is completed, if storage is required, 2 to 3 storage and transportation pallets 1 can be stacked. When stacking, the base 1.1 of the upper and lower pallets is secured by the positioning pin 1.5 to prevent tipping.

[0037] Hanging process (such as) Figure 2 , 5As shown, the upper attachment point of the brake caliper 3 is attached to the hook 2.1. The width of the attachment point is equal to the width of the hook 2.1, so as to prevent the brake caliper 3 from moving sideways. At this time, the lower attachment point of the brake caliper 3 is stuck on the baffle 2.2 to prevent the caliper from flipping.

[0038] During transportation (such as Figure 1 As shown, a storage pallet 1 with 6 brake calipers 3 already installed is transported to the assembly station using a forklift and placed in the designated location;

[0039] During the assembly of brake lines (such as...) Figure 1 As shown), the operator can directly use the device to hang and fix the brake caliper 3. At this time, the brake line can be tightened onto the brake caliper 3 as required using a torque wrench to complete the installation process of the brake line.

[0040] During assembly (e.g.) Figure 3 As shown), use 3 slings to lift the 3 lifting rings 2.4 of the mounting frame 2, and lift the mounting frame 2 with 3 brake calipers 3 to the corresponding position of the frame 4. After the brake calipers 3 are aligned and placed, put down the mounting frame 2 to separate the mounting frame 2 and the brake calipers 3, and lift the mounting frame 2 back to the carrying area 1.2 of the storage and transportation pallet 1. Similarly, lift the other 3 brake calipers 3 and repeat the above assembly steps.

[0041] Beneficial effects: This device prevents the brake clamp parts from being bumped or damaged during storage or transportation, allows for stacking during storage to reduce the floor space occupied, and reduces repetitive actions during assembly, i.e., reduces the number of repeated lifting and alignment operations, thus saving work cycles and reducing the physical exertion of operators.

[0042] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
