[0026] By comparing the applicability of various electronic tags in the railway field, the types and specifications of electronic tags that can be applied to bolster components were determined. Under the premise of ensuring the structural strength and safety of the bolster itself, and in combination with the usage environment and application characteristics of the bolster, the specific location of the memory to be installed on the bolster was determined to be the inner surface area of ​​the spring support 11 at the end of the bolster body 10, and the installation method was to use riveting connection, which effectively reduced the risk of memory loss and collision.

[0027] The rocker bolster of this embodiment improves maintenance efficiency and quality, reduces maintenance costs, and achieves full lifecycle information recording, enabling rapid and accurate identification of the source of quality problems. This embodiment effectively records manufacturing, usage, and maintenance information throughout the bolster's entire lifecycle, achieving intelligent recording, storage, and management of the bolster's lifecycle history information. This significantly improves production and management efficiency, reduces costs, and yields high economic benefits. It solves the problems of rudimentary lifecycle information management and low digitization levels in rocker bolsters.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the rocking pillow in this embodiment includes a rocking pillow body 10 and a memory 20. The memory 20 is disposed on the rocking pillow body 10, and the memory 20 includes storage tags for recording the encoding information and maintenance information of the rocking pillow body 10.

[0029] The rocking pillow of this invention includes a rocking pillow body 10 and a memory 20. The memory 20 is disposed on the rocking pillow body 10 and includes a storage tag that records the coding information and maintenance information of the rocking pillow body 10. This arrangement provides a mounting location for the memory 20 within the rocking pillow body 10. The storage tag records the coding information and maintenance information of the rocking pillow body 10, thus avoiding the potential for inaccurate information recording when manually recording maintenance information, and also preventing incomplete recording of maintenance information. The memory 20 also facilitates the retrieval of the coding information and maintenance information of the rocking pillow body 10. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem of low digitalization level of information management throughout the entire life cycle of rocking pillows in related technologies.

[0030] It should be noted that the maintenance information includes the inspection information, usage information and scrapping information of the bolster body 10.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the rocker body 10 has a spring support 11, and the memory 20 is disposed on the spring support 11. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the memory 20.

[0032] It should be noted that the rocker body 10 has two spring supports 11, which are located at two ends along the length of the rocker body 10. The memory 20 can be optionally mounted on one of the spring supports 11.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a cavity 111 is provided inside the spring support 11, and the memory 20 is disposed on the bottom wall of the cavity 111. This arrangement allows the spring support 11 to protect the memory 20 and reduce the probability of damage to the memory 20.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the spring support 11 includes a base plate 112, a support plate 113, and a top plate 114. The support plate 113 is disposed between the top plate 114 and the base plate 112, forming a cavity 111 between the base plate 112, the support plate 113, and the top plate 114. The base plate 112 has a mounting area 1121 on the side facing the top plate 114, and the memory 20 is disposed within the mounting area 1121. The base plate 112 can separate the memory 20 from the outside of the spring support 11, reducing the probability of debris in the external environment impacting the memory 20 during use of the rocker. The support plate 113 can support the top plate 114 and connect the base plate 112 and the top plate 114, thereby forming a cavity 111 between the base plate 112, the support plate 113, and the top plate 114, facilitating the installation of the memory 20 into the mounting area 1121.

[0035] The installation location and method of the memory 20 should be determined based on the principles of safety, reliability, convenience, versatility, and cost control. The operating environment of railway freight cars is relatively complex, and the structural and maintenance characteristics of the bolster limit the choice of the installation location and method of the memory 20. An unreasonable selection of the installation location and method will affect the information collection, the sensitivity and reliability of the tag.

[0036] The bottom area of ​​the bolster body 10 is close to the ground and is easily struck by hard objects such as sand and gravel, making it unsuitable for installing the memory 20. The middle area of ​​the bolster body 10 is a clamping area during manufacturing and maintenance, making it unsuitable for installing the memory 20. The side of the top plate 114 of the bolster body 10 away from the bottom plate 112 has a casting sequence number, manufacturer, and production date, making it unsuitable for installing the memory 20. The part of the bottom plate 112 that protrudes from the top plate 114 has a relatively flat structure, and its dimensions meet the installation requirements of the memory 20. This area is a non-stressed part of the bolster body with low stress, and the installation of the memory 20 will not affect the strength or lifespan of the component. It is not easily damaged during hoisting and is easy to inspect during vehicle maintenance, making it suitable for installing the memory 20.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, along the length of the bolster body 10, the bottom plate 112 protrudes from the top plate 114, and the mounting area 1121 is located on the portion of the bottom plate 112 that protrudes from the top plate 114. With this arrangement, the operator has more operating space, facilitating the installation of the memory 20 into the mounting area 1121.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the rocking pillow body 10 further includes a partition plate 12 connecting the bottom plate 112 and the top plate 114. The partition plate 12 divides the cavity 111 into a first cavity 1111 and a second cavity 1112, and divides the mounting area 1121 into a first mounting area 11211 and a second mounting area 11212. The first mounting area 11211 is correspondingly arranged with the first cavity 1111, and the second mounting area 11212 is correspondingly arranged with the second cavity 1112. The memory 20 is disposed in the first mounting area 11211. Through the above arrangement, the partition plate 12 can support the top plate 114 and the bottom plate 112, thereby improving the structural strength of the rocking pillow body 10.

[0039] It should be noted that the support plate 113 includes a first plate and a second plate, and the first plate, the partition plate 12, and the second plate are spaced apart in the width direction of the bolster body 10. During the casting of the bolster body 10, the partition plate 12 is formed accordingly, and the cavity 111 is also formed accordingly.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the memory 20 further includes a mounting housing 21, with the storage tag disposed within the mounting housing 21. The rocker also includes a connector, which connects the mounting housing 21 and the rocker body 10. The mounting housing 21 protects the storage tag. The connector connects the mounting housing and the rocker body.

[0041] It should be noted that the mounting shell 21 is provided with mounting holes, through which the connector passes to connect with the base plate 112. In this embodiment, the connector is a rivet, that is, the mounting shell 21 and the base plate 112 are connected by a riveting process. Of course, in other embodiments, the connector can also be a screw.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the storage tag is an RFID electronic tag. This setup facilitates reading and writing of the storage tag, enabling the recording of the coded information and maintenance information of the rocker body 10, thereby achieving information recording throughout the entire lifespan of the rocker.

[0043] In this embodiment, the rocker pillow utilizes RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology on the pillow body 10. An RFID electronic tag is installed on the pillow body 10, and its unique identification code is recorded within the tag. The entire lifecycle information of the rocker pillow is recorded through an RFID electronic tag management system. By applying RFID technology, intelligent management of the rocker pillow's entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to use, maintenance, and troubleshooting, is achieved. Simultaneously, the installation location and method of the memory are clearly defined, meeting the reliability requirements throughout the entire lifecycle.

[0044] The bogie of this embodiment includes a bogie body and a bolster disposed on the bogie body. A spring is provided between the bolster body 10 and the bogie body, and the bolster is the aforementioned type. During use, the aforementioned bolster can record the coding information and maintenance information of the bolster body 10 through a memory, realizing information management throughout the entire life cycle of the bolster and improving the digital level of information management throughout the bolster's life cycle. The bogie with the aforementioned bolster also has the above-mentioned advantages.

[0045] The vehicle of this embodiment includes a car body and a bogie disposed below the car body, the bogie being the aforementioned bogie. During use, the aforementioned bogie, through a memory, can record the coding information and maintenance information of the bolster body 10, realizing information management throughout the bolster's entire life cycle and improving the digital level of information management throughout the bolster's entire life cycle. Vehicles equipped with the aforementioned bogie also possess the aforementioned advantages.

[0046] It should be noted that the vehicle body includes the frame and the carriage; of course, the vehicle body may also include only the frame.
