[0002] Railway open wagons are railway freight cars with end walls, side walls, and a bottom plate but no roof. They are mainly used to transport goods such as coal, ore, mining construction materials, timber, and steel.

[0003] The lower side door of a railway open wagon is installed in the lower part of the side or end wall. It opens for loading and unloading and closes during transport. The lower side door is locked using a latch. First, the hinge attached to the lower side door is inserted into the latch seat, then the latch is rotated into its slot to press the hinge into place, thus locking the wagon. However, with prolonged use, the lower side door is prone to deformation, making the latch difficult or impossible to engage. Currently, a pry bar is typically used to press the hinge into the latch seat, and then a hammer is used to force the latch into place. This method often requires at least two people, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, has low efficiency, and is prone to accidents if not handled properly. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary device for closing the lower side door of a railway open wagon is provided. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1 to 3 It includes a rack 1, a lever starter, a top head 2, and a hook 3. The top head 2 is disposed at one end of the rack 1, the hook 3 is disposed on the lever starter, and the rack 1 is movably disposed inside the lever starter.

[0024] The hook 3 is used to hook the bottom edge of the vehicle body 5, the top head 2 is used to abut against the hinge 6 of the lower side door of the vehicle body, and the lever can drive the top head 2 to move closer to or further away from the hook 3.

[0025] It should be noted that by manually operating the lever, the rack 1 is moved, thereby moving the top head 2 closer to or further away from the hook 3, which in turn changes the distance between the hinge 6 and the car body 5, pressing the hinge 6 tightly into the latch seat, making it easier to insert the latch into the latch seat. The whole process can be completed by only one person, saving time and effort, reducing labor intensity, and eliminating unsafe factors.

[0026] In the railway open wagon lower side door closing auxiliary device of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A connecting plate 8 is provided below the starter, and the connecting plate 8 is connected to the hook 3 via a connecting rod 9. The connecting rod 9 is arranged parallel to the rack 1.

[0027] It should be noted that the connecting plate 8 is set in a vertical direction, one end of the connecting rod 9 is set to be flat and used to connect with the connecting plate 8, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 is connected to the hook 3.

[0028] In the railway open wagon lower side door closing auxiliary device of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The hook 3 is configured to be curved, and its end is provided with a claw 4, which is parallel to the connecting rod 9.

[0029] It should be noted that the hook 4 is perpendicular to the end of the hook and is used to hook the bottom edge of the vehicle body 5.

[0030] In the railway open wagon lower side door closing auxiliary device of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The top head 2 has a mounting groove in the middle, and a central top plate 202 is provided in the mounting groove. Several top plates 203 are provided on the surface of the top head 2 and around the central top plate 202. Anti-slip protrusions 204 are evenly distributed on the top plates 203.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting slot includes an upper mounting slot 201 and a lower mounting slot 205 connected by a connecting slot. The central top plate 202 is connected to a limiting block 207 via a support rod 208. The limiting block 207 is disposed inside the lower mounting slot 205. The support rod 208 passes through the connecting slot. The central top plate 202 is disposed inside the upper mounting slot 201. A spring 206 is disposed between the central top plate 202 and the upper mounting slot 201.

[0032] It should be noted that the central top plate 202 first contacts the hinge 6 to form a contact point. Under pressure, the central top plate 202 retracts, and with the elasticity of the spring 206, it forms a central support part. The central top plate 202 retracts to the limit block 207 and contacts the hinge 6 to form a contact point. At the same time, the anti-slip protrusion 204 can effectively prevent the contact position from sliding and becoming unstable. Finally, the top head 2 contacts the hinge 6 to form an overall support structure with a large support contact area and high safety in use.
