[0002] In the past, ballast transportation during railway maintenance and construction relied on conventional four-wheeled flatbed wagons. However, on slopes, these flatbed wagons, lacking braking systems, were prone to slippage and accidents. Slippage could result in personal injury to workers, damage to equipment and track, and significant time wasted in resuming the transport of materials. Given the time constraints of railway maintenance and construction, which necessitate completion within designated maintenance windows, the need for flatbed wagons that are simple in structure, highly efficient, easy to use, capable of braking on slopes, and safe and reliable has become an urgent requirement in current railway maintenance and construction.

[0029] To more clearly illustrate the structure, Figures 2-7 The flipping frame and connecting rod of this embodiment are omitted. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Figures 1-7 This invention illustrates a specific embodiment of a semi-self-unloading rail four-wheel flatcar with brakes, comprising a fixed base frame 1 and four rail wheels 2 installed at the bottom of the fixed base frame 1, wherein there are two rail wheels 2 at the front and two at the rear, and each rail wheel 2 is provided with a set of brake components.

[0032] In this embodiment, each track wheel 2 is mounted on a pair of wheel support plates 22 by means of a pin, and the wheel support plates 22 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed base frame 1;

[0033] The specific structure of each brake assembly is as follows: the brake shoe 3 is connected to the rear end of the horizontally arranged brake push rod 5 through the first pin 4; the front end of the brake push rod 5 passes through the through hole on the spring baffle 9 and is connected to the lower end hole of the brake push rod bracket 7 through the second pin 6; a nut 8 is installed on the front end of the brake push rod 5 to abut against the second pin 6; a limiting member 10 is also installed at the rear of the brake push rod 5; a spring 11 is sleeved on the brake push rod 5 and limited between the limiting member 10 and the spring baffle 9; the spring baffle 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed base frame 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the limiting member 10 is an adjusting nut, that is, the rear part of the brake push rod 5 has threads, and the adjusting nut is installed on the rear part of the brake push rod 5 to abut against the spring 11.

[0035] The bottom of the fixed base frame 1 is also fixedly installed with four support seats 12, two at the front and two at the rear. Two rotating shafts 13 are arranged on the horizontal plane, perpendicular to the brake push rod 5. The rotating shafts 13 at the front pass through the through holes of the two front support seats 12 and are rotatably connected to the front support seats 12. The rotating shafts 13 at the rear pass through the through holes of the two rear support seats 12 and are rotatably connected to the rear support seats 12. Each support seat 12 includes two identical support blocks arranged in parallel, and each support block has a through hole.

[0036] The front rotating shaft 13 also passes through the upper holes of the two front brake push rod brackets 7 and is fixedly connected to the front brake push rod brackets 7 by welding; the rear rotating shaft 13 also passes through the upper holes of the two rear brake push rod brackets 7 and is fixedly connected to the rear brake push rod brackets 7 by welding.

[0037] In this embodiment, each brake push rod bracket 7 includes two identical bracket blocks arranged in parallel, and each bracket block has an upper end hole and a lower end hole; the four brake push rod brackets 7 are respectively arranged between the two support blocks of the corresponding support base 12.

[0038] Two brake fixing blocks 14 are also fixedly installed at the bottom of the front part of the fixed base frame 1. A brake limiting block 15 is provided between the two brake fixing blocks 14. The front rotating shaft 13 passes through the through holes of the brake fixing blocks 14 and the brake limiting block 15, and the front rotating shaft 13 and the brake limiting block 15 are fixedly connected by welding.

[0039] One end of the brake lever 16 is connected to the top of one of the brake fixing blocks 14 by a pin hinge, and the other brake fixing block 14 and the brake limiting block 15 are both provided with slots on their tops.

[0040] A brake release lever 17 is also fixedly connected to the middle of the front pivot 13; the user selects a suitable sleeve and puts it on the brake release lever 17 to extend it for use as a push rod.

[0041] It is also provided with two synchronous linkage brackets 18 at the front and rear. Two rotating shafts 13 pass through the upper holes of the two synchronous linkage brackets 18 respectively and are fixedly connected to the synchronous linkage brackets 18 by welding. The lower hole of the synchronous linkage bracket 18 is hinged to the drive linkage 19 through a pin and a cotter pin. In this embodiment, each synchronous linkage bracket 18 includes two identical bracket blocks arranged in parallel. Each bracket block has an upper hole and a lower hole.

[0042] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 23 is hinged to the front of the fixed base frame 1 via a pin. A tilting frame 20 with a railing is also hinged to the fixed base frame 1, and two auxiliary wheels 21 are installed at the bottom of the tilting frame 20. As a tilting frame used for loading goods on a semi-dump truck, its connection with the fixed base frame is conventional prior art and will not be elaborated here. The connecting rod 23 can be connected to different models of excavators. After the ballast is packed, it is installed inside the tilting frame 20, and the auxiliary wheels 21 are used to support the rear of the tilting frame 20 when the ballast is being loaded.

[0043] by Figure 7 For example, the working principle of this utility model for braking or releasing the brake is as follows:

[0044] When it is necessary to "release the brakes", such as Figure 7 As shown by the arrow in the image, rotating the brake release lever 17 on the front rotating shaft 13 clockwise causes the front rotating shaft 13 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the rear rotating shaft 13 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous connecting rod bracket 18 and the drive connecting rod 19.

[0045] The front and rear rotating shafts 13 respectively drive the two front and rear brake push rod brackets 7 to rotate clockwise. The lower end of the brake push rod bracket 7 drives the brake push rod 5 to move to the left. The brake push rod 5 drives the brake shoe 3 to move to the left and disengage from the tread of the track wheel 2, thereby realizing the simultaneous "brake release" of the four track wheels 2. Since the spring baffle 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed base frame 1, the spring 11 sleeved on the brake push rod 5 is compressed at this time.

[0046] At the same time, the rotation of the front shaft 13 will drive the brake limit block 15 to rotate. Rotate the brake release rod 17 to a certain angle so that the slot on the top of the brake limit block 15 is aligned with the slot on the top of the brake fixing block 14. Then, manually lower the brake rod 16 into the slot, so that the front shaft 13 is locked and will no longer rotate. The spring 11 is also in a compressed state, so that the brake shoe 3 remains in the "released brake" state, and the four-wheel flatcar can run on the track.

[0047] When "braking" is required, the brake lever 16 is struck upwards to disengage it from the slot, the spring 11 extends and returns to its original position, driving the brake push rod 5 to move to the right, causing the brake shoe 3 to grip the tread of the track wheel 2 to the right, thus achieving "braking".

[0048] As the brake push rod 5 moves to the right, it drives the brake push rod bracket 7 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotating shaft 13 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the brake push rod bracket 7, and the brake limit block 15 also rotates counterclockwise. The slot on the top of the brake limit block 15 is misaligned with the slot on the top of the brake fixing block 14.
