Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wheelset inspection technology in rail transit equipment, and more specifically, it relates to a three-dimensional measuring device for detecting the geometric shape and defects of rail vehicle wheelsets. Background Technology

[0002] As a critical component in rail transit, the condition of wheelsets directly impacts operational safety. During operation, the high-frequency dynamic forces between the wheelsets and rails can cause two types of defects: tread defects and fatigue defects. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect wheelsets for these defects, promptly assess their service condition, and take appropriate measures to ensure the safe operation of rail transit equipment. Currently, wheelset inspection primarily employs three levels of maintenance: daily dynamic monitoring, periodic online monitoring, and periodic wheel removal inspection. These levels mainly utilize methods such as optical non-contact measurement, electromagnetic ultrasonic testing, phased array ultrasonic testing, and magnetic particle testing.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: Currently, all kinds of measurement methods have the problem of detecting only one physical quantity, that is, they can only inspect surface or near-surface defects and cannot simultaneously measure geometric dimensions such as out-of-roundness. Moreover, due to the influence of the inspection level, various detection methods are limited in practical use.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a three-dimensional measurement device for detecting the geometry and defects of rail vehicle wheelsets, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the measurement assembly includes a high-precision three-dimensional moving stage one and a high-precision three-dimensional moving stage two installed on the top of the vertical lifting platform.
