Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of train maintenance technology, specifically a height adjustment device for coupler of a Type 17 railway freight car. Background Technology
[0002] Multiple carriages of railway freight cars are usually connected by couplers. However, due to factors such as the weight of the freight car or structural deformation of the coupler connection, the horizontal height of the couplers of two train cars may differ. For example, if the difference in height of the commonly used Type 17 coupler is too large, i.e. the mutual coupling difference exceeds the limit, it will cause the overlap of the inner sides of the coupler tongues to be reduced, causing the coupler buffer to be subjected to longitudinal force, resulting in a large additional bending moment. This can lead to uneven wear of the coupler tongues, increased stress at the connection of the coupler tail frame, and may also cause the distance between the inner sides of the coupler tongue and the coupler arm to increase instantaneously, causing the coupler to decouple vertically during train operation, resulting in an automatic coupler separation accident. Therefore, when the mutual coupling difference exceeds the limit, it is necessary to adjust the mutual coupling difference in time to eliminate safety hazards. Utility Model Content
