[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0028] A manual braking mechanism for railway freight cars, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a handwheel 1, a worm gear 2, a clamping plate 3, a worm wheel 4, a connecting shaft 5, and a locking mechanism 6. The handwheel 1 is connected to the worm gear 2. The worm gear 2 and the worm wheel 4 are supported and engaged by the clamping plate 3. The worm wheel 4 is connected to the pull rod 7 of the railway freight car braking mechanism. The worm wheel 4 rotates under the drive of the worm gear 2 to form the braking force of the railway freight car. A connecting shaft 5 is set between the worm gear 2 and the clamping plate 3. The worm gear 2 can rotate horizontally around the connecting shaft 5. A locking mechanism 6 is set on the worm gear 2. The locking mechanism 6 controls the meshing state of the worm gear 2 and the worm wheel 4.
[0029] The clamping plate 3 is formed by pressing sheet metal, which increases its structural strength. Clamping plate 3 includes an upper clamping plate 3-1 and a lower clamping plate 3-2, assembled from three sets of stud assemblies. These stud assemblies connect the manual braking mechanism to the railway freight car body. Each stud assembly includes a stud 8, a stud sleeve 9, a slotted nut 10, and a cotter pin 11. The stud sleeve 9, consisting of a round tube 9-1 and a washer 9-2, is welded and fixed between the upper clamping plate 3-1 and the lower clamping plate 3-2, effectively controlling the distance between them and increasing the structural strength of the assembled clamping plate 3. The stud 8 is fitted inside the stud sleeve 9, and its ends are positioned using slotted nuts 10 and cotter pins 11. The stud 8 is used to connect the manual braking mechanism to the railway freight car body.
[0030] Among them, the first stud assembly 12 is set at the rotation center of the worm gear 4 and is used as the shaft of the worm gear 4; the second stud assembly 13 is set on one side of the connecting shaft 5; and the third stud assembly 14 is set at the end of the worm 2. The third stud assembly 14 works in conjunction with the connecting shaft 5 to effectively control the lateral movement of the screw.
[0031] The connecting shaft 5 is composed of a first half-circular rotating shaft 5-1 and a second half-circular rotating shaft 5-2, and a semicircular groove is formed in each of the first half-circular rotating shaft 5-1 and the second half-circular rotating shaft 5-2. The connecting shaft 5 penetrates the upper clamping plate 3-1 and the lower clamping plate 3-2 at two ends, and the two semicircular grooves in the middle of the first half-circular rotating shaft 5-1 and the second half-circular rotating shaft 5-2 form a circular positioning hole of the worm 2. The split structure of the connecting shaft 5 is beneficial to the disassembly and maintenance of the worm while meeting the requirements of the worm in the horizontal direction positioning and rotation.
[0032] The locking mechanism 6 is used for controlling the meshing state of the worm 2 and the worm wheel 4. The locking mechanism 6 includes a connecting lug 6-1, a flap 6-2 and a positioning pin 6-3. The flap 6-2 is connected and fixed with the railway wagon body frame through the connecting lug 6-1. A long hole 6-4 is formed in the flap 6-2 for supporting the worm 2. The positioning pin 6-3 is used for fixing the position of the worm 2 in the long hole 6-4 of the flap 6-2. The positioning pin 6-3 includes a round rod 6-31 and a baffle 6-32. The round rod 6-31 is inserted into the flap 6-2 through two sleeves 6-5. The baffle 6-32 is arranged in the middle of the round rod 6-31 between the two sleeves 6-5. The baffle 6-32 can be flipped up and down with the round rod 6-31 relative to the flap 6-2.
[0033] When the baffle 6-32 is flipped up, the worm 2 can freely slide in the long hole 6-4. When the baffle 6-32 falls down, the worm 2 is limited on one side of the long hole 6-4 and cannot freely slide, so that the worm 2 and the worm wheel 4 are in the meshing state or the disengaging state. When the worm 2 and the worm wheel 4 are in the meshing state, the manual brake mechanism is in the working state. When the worm 2 and the worm wheel 4 are in the disengaging state, the manual brake mechanism is in the non-working state. Such a structure design can avoid the misoperation of the manual brake mechanism.
[0034] When the manual brake mechanism is in the working state, the hand wheel 1 is rotated clockwise, the worm 2 is rotated to drive the worm wheel 4 to rotate, and the worm wheel 4 causes the connected pull rod 7 to generate and maintain the braking force of the brake mechanism 15. When the hand wheel 1 is rotated counterclockwise, the worm 2 is rotated to drive the worm wheel 4 to release the braking force of the brake mechanism 15, so that the vehicle is relieved.
