Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway EMU maintenance equipment, specifically to an automatic sand-adding device for railway EMUs. Background Technology
[0002] When high-speed trains operate in adverse weather conditions (such as rain and snow), the adhesion between the wheels and the rails decreases significantly, causing the trains to slip. To improve driving safety and stability, high-speed trains are equipped with a sand-spraying system, which increases the friction between the wheels and the rails by spraying dry quartz sand.
[0003] However, in the current maintenance and repair process of most depots, the replenishment of sand storage boxes in EMUs mostly relies on manual operation. This method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also causes many inconveniences in actual operation due to the narrow location of the sand replenishment port in some sand storage boxes.

[0021] 1. The sand adding device in this application greatly reduces the need for manual operation by coordinating the control switch component, air pipe winding component, sand discharge component, sand feeding component, and sand outlet component.

[0022] 2. The sand-adding device in this application includes an air hose winding component, a pneumatic particle conveyor, and a sand-feeding component, enabling rapid and efficient sand filling and transportation. It is also equipped with control valves and a sand discharge switch, making operation simpler and greatly reducing the labor intensity of operators. Through the control switch components (sand-adding switch and sand-discharging switch), operators can more quickly control the start and stop of sand-adding operations, avoiding repetitive and tedious manual intervention. The internal structure of the support frame is divided into multiple installation chambers (such as the first installation chamber, the second installation chamber, and the third installation chamber), which allows for the rational layout of the air hose winding component, sand storage component, sand discharge component, and sand-feeding component, which helps to reduce the size of the equipment, improve the overall stability of the equipment, and enhance transportation convenience. The design of multiple casters allows the sand-adding device to move flexibly in the railway environment, facilitating transportation, installation, and position adjustment.
[0023] 3. In this application, by installing a sand storage box on the bottom surface of the first installation cavity, the remaining sand can be temporarily stored, or unused sand can be collected after the sand adding operation is completed, facilitating subsequent centralized processing or reuse. This also avoids operational interruptions when the sand runs out. Furthermore, the push handle facilitates the movement and adjustment of the equipment, further improving work continuity.
[0024] 4. The sand discharge component in this application effectively prevents sand from clogging the conveying pipeline. The filter screen can effectively isolate impurities, preventing blockage of the sand conveying system, ensuring the stability and long-term reliability of the equipment. Furthermore, the use of pneumatic control during sand adding operations reduces the chance of personnel directly contacting hazardous areas, lowers safety risks during operation, significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of sand adding operations for railway EMUs, reduces manual operation and labor intensity, and improves the safety of the working environment.

[0045] Example 1:
[0046] An automatic sand-adding device for railway EMUs includes a main frame 10, the main frame 10 including a support frame 110, the support frame 110 having a first mounting cavity 120, a second mounting cavity 130 and a third mounting cavity 170 respectively opened inside, the first mounting cavity 120 and the second mounting cavity 130 being located on the left and right sides inside the support frame 110, and the third mounting cavity 170 being located above the first mounting cavity 120;
[0047] The first mounting cavity 120 is provided with a tube winding component 50 for connecting to an air source. The third mounting cavity 170 is provided with a sand storage component 30. The bottom of the sand storage component 30 is connected to a sand discharge component 60. The sand discharge component 60 is connected to a control valve 40 and a sand feeding component 70 respectively.
[0048] The top surface of the support frame 110 is provided with a control switch component 20, which includes a sand adding switch 210 and a sand discharging switch 220. The control valve 40 is electrically connected to the sand adding switch 210, and the air tube winding component 50 and the sand feeding component 70 are both pneumatically connected to the sand discharging switch 220. The outlet end of the sand feeding component 70 is also connected to a sand discharging component 80.
[0049] The support frame 110 is internally divided into a first mounting cavity 120, a second mounting cavity 130, and a third mounting cavity 170. The first and second mounting cavities 120 and 130 are located on the left and right sides of the support frame 110, and are mainly used to install the air hose winding component 50 and the sand discharge component 80. The third mounting cavity 170 is located at the upper end of the first mounting cavity 120 and is mainly used to install the sand storage component 30 and the sand discharge component 60. The air hose winding component 50 can connect to an external air source and wind up the air hose to ensure the supply of air and prevent the air hose from becoming messy or damaged by external forces. The air hose winding component 50 usually includes an automatic winding mechanism so that the air hose can be retracted when the air source is not needed, thereby saving space and improving the service life of the equipment. The sand storage component 30 is used to store sand. The sand discharge component 60 is responsible for conveying the sand in the sand storage component 30 to the sand discharge component 80. The main function of the sand delivery component 70 is to convey the sand from the sand storage component 30 to the position where sand needs to be added.
[0050] Specifically, the air hose reel component 50 in the sand adding unit is flexibly designed, allowing for quick connection to the air source at different locations to ensure a stable air supply. The sand storage component 30 is made of high-strength material, providing excellent sealing performance to prevent sand particles from becoming damp and clumping. The sand discharging component 60 precisely adjusts the sand quantity via the control valve 40, ensuring uniform sand addition. The sand delivery component 70 is made of wear-resistant material, extending its service life. The control switch component 20 is easy to operate, allowing operators to control sand addition and discharging according to actual conditions, greatly improving operational efficiency. The overall device has a compact structure, is easy to install and maintain, and is suitable for various types of railway EMUs.
[0051] Refer to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual. Figures 1-6 As shown, the main frame 10 also includes a first door panel 140, a second door panel 150, a sand storage box 160, and a push handle 180. The first door panel 140 and the second door panel 150 are respectively hinged to the outside of the first mounting cavity 120 and the second mounting cavity 130. The sand storage box 160 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the first mounting cavity 120. The push handle 180 is connected to the support frame 110, and the bottom surface of the support frame 110 is also provided with a plurality of casters 90.
[0052] The design of the first door panel 140 and the second door panel 150 facilitates the opening and maintenance of the equipment, providing convenient access for repairs. The sand bin 160 effectively collects excess sand generated during the sand-addition process, preventing waste and maintaining a clean working environment. The push handle 180 allows the entire device to be easily moved, adapting to different work scenarios. The omnidirectional casters 90 increase the device's flexibility, enabling it to turn freely in confined spaces. These improvements not only optimize the device's functionality but also significantly enhance its ease of use and maintenance efficiency.
[0053] Refer to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual. Figures 1-6 As shown, the sand storage component 30 includes a sand storage box 310 and a cover plate 320. The sand storage box 310 is installed inside the third mounting cavity 170, and the bottom of the sand storage box 310 is inverted conical. The cover plate 320 is hinged to the side of the top surface of the sand storage box 310, and the sand discharge component 60 is connected to the bottom of the sand storage box 310.
[0054] The sand storage tank 310 features an inverted conical bottom design, which facilitates smooth sand discharge and prevents sand accumulation that could hinder drainage. The hinged cover 320 allows for more flexible opening and closing of the sand storage tank 310, making it easier for operators to add and inspect sand. The connection between the sand discharge component 60 and the bottom of the sand storage tank 310 ensures uniform and efficient sand discharge, further improving the working efficiency and stability of the sand adding device. These optimizations in detail make the entire sand storage and discharge process smoother, reducing equipment failure rates and extending service life.
[0055] Refer to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual. Figures 1-6 As shown, the air tube winding component 50 includes a winding device 510 and an air source interface pipe 520, which is installed on the inner wall of the first mounting cavity 120. The length of the air source interface pipe 520 is greater than 15m and it is wound inside the winding device 510. One end of the air source interface pipe 520 is pneumatically connected to the sand discharge switch 220, and the other end of the air source interface pipe 520 extends to the outside of the support frame 110 and is used to communicate with the air source.
[0056] The design of the air hose reel component 50 fully considers convenience and safety in actual operation. The reasonable installation position of the reel 510 ensures that the air source interface pipe 520 will not become tangled or drag on the ground due to excessive length during use, reducing clutter at the work site. The air source interface pipe 520 is over 15 meters long, sufficient to meet the needs of most working conditions. Its design, wound inside the reel 510, allows the air hose to be neatly stored when not in use, avoiding a messy pipeline. One end of the air source interface pipe 520 is pneumatically connected to the sand outlet switch 220, ensuring precise control of sand adding operations, while the other end extends to the outside of the support frame 110, facilitating quick connection and disconnection with external air sources, improving the overall working efficiency of the device. Furthermore, this design of the air hose reel component 50 greatly reduces the risk of damage to the air hose due to wear or bending during use, further improving the reliability and service life of the device.
[0057] Refer to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual. Figures 1-6 As shown, the sand discharge component 60 includes a sand discharge pipe 610 and a switch valve 620. One end of the sand discharge pipe 610 is screwed to the bottom of the sand storage tank 310, and the other end of the sand discharge pipe 610 is an open pipe. The switch valve 620 is installed at the open pipe of the sand discharge pipe 610. The control valve 40 and the sand delivery component 70 are both connected to the sand discharge pipe 610.
[0058] The sand discharge pipe 610 is fixed to the bottom of the sand storage tank 310 via a threaded connection, ensuring a secure and airtight connection to prevent sand leakage. The open pipe design allows for smooth sand flow, avoiding blockages. The installation position of the switch valve 620 facilitates manual or remote control of sand discharge, providing flexible operation. The connection between the control valve 40 and the sand delivery component 70 ensures precise control of sand discharge, preventing over-discharge or under-discharge.
[0059] Refer to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual. Figures 1-6As shown, the sand feeding component 70 includes a pneumatic particle conveyor 710 and a sand feeding pipe 720. One end of the pneumatic particle conveyor 710 is connected to the sand discharge pipe 610, and the other end of the pneumatic particle conveyor 710 is connected to the sand feeding pipe 720. The pneumatic particle conveyor 710 is pneumatically connected to the sand discharge switch 220. The sand discharge component 80 is screwed to the other end of the sand feeding pipe 720. The pneumatic particle conveyor 710 includes a conveying pipe 7110, with a sand inlet end 7120 and an air outlet end 7140 at its two ends. The sand inlet end 7120 is connected to the sand discharge pipe 610, and the air outlet end 7140 is connected to the sand feeding pipe 720. The conveying pipe 7110 is also provided with an air inlet 7130, which is pneumatically connected to the sand discharge switch 220 through a pipeline.
[0060] The high-pressure gas enters the sand-adding trolley through the gas source interface pipe 520, and then converges to the control valve 40 through a pipeline. When the operator opens the sand discharge switch 220, the high-pressure gas flows to the air inlet 7130 of the pneumatic particle conveyor 710. As the gas exits through the air outlet 7140 of the pneumatic particle conveyor 710, the flow rate increases and the pressure decreases. A vacuum negative pressure area is formed at the sand inlet 7120 at the other end. The two areas test a pressure difference, thereby generating an adsorption effect that draws in other fluids. Subsequently, atmospheric pressure pushes the sand and gravel together to the air outlet 7140, realizing the transportation of sand and gravel driven by high-pressure gas. This design not only improves the sand delivery efficiency but also reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation. The sand delivery pipe 720 is made of high-strength material to ensure good sealing and durability under the combined action of high-pressure gas and sand and gravel. The sand discharge switch 220 is designed with ease of operation and safety in mind, ensuring that the operator can quickly and safely control the transportation of sand and gravel under any circumstances.
[0061] Refer to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual. Figures 1-6 As shown, the control switch component 20 also includes an information board 230 for identifying information, which is mounted on the top surface of the support frame 110.
[0062] Example 2:
[0063] As one of the optimized structural designs for Example 1, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, the sand discharge component 80 includes a first connecting seat 8110, a first sand discharge pipe 8120, and a first connecting sleeve 8130. The first sand discharge pipe 8120 is connected to the sand delivery pipe 720. The first connecting sleeve 8130 is used to fix the first sand discharge pipe 8120 and the sand delivery pipe 720, and the first connecting sleeve 8130 is fixedly connected to the first connecting seat 8110.
[0064] The first sand outlet pipe 8120 is sequentially fitted with a fixing block 8140, a first filter screen 8160, a clamping frame 8170, and a rotating frame 8180 along the sand outlet direction. The fixing block 8140 is located in the inner cavity of the first connecting sleeve 8130. Each of the four end faces of the fixing block 8140 is provided with a fixing pin 8150. The clamping frame 8170 is fixed to the outside of the first connecting sleeve 8130 by the four fixing pins 8150. The opening diameter of the first filter screen 8160 is the same as the outer diameter of the first connecting sleeve 8130. The first filter screen 8160 abuts against the end face of the first connecting sleeve 8130 and is clamped by the clamping frame 8170. The rotating frame 8180 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first connecting sleeve 8130 by bolts, and the fixed position of the rotating frame 8180 is offset from the fixed position of the clamping frame 8170.
[0065] The first sand outlet pipe 8120 is connected to the sand delivery pipe 720. The first connecting sleeve 8130 is used to fix the first sand outlet pipe 8120 and the sand delivery pipe 720, ensuring a reliable connection between them. The first connecting sleeve 8130 is also fixedly connected to the first connecting seat 8110, further enhancing the stability of the structure. The fixing block 8140 is sleeved on the outside of the first sand outlet pipe 8120, located inside the first connecting sleeve 8130. Each of the four end faces of the fixing block 8140 is provided with a fixing pin 8150. These fixing pins 8150 are used to securely connect the clamping frame 8170. The first filter screen 8160 is used to filter impurities or non-standard particles from particulate materials. Its opening diameter is consistent with the outer diameter of the first connecting sleeve 8130, thus allowing the first filter screen 8160 to fit tightly with the first connecting sleeve 8130, preventing leakage or incomplete filtration of particulate materials. The first filter screen 8160 abuts against the end face of the first connecting sleeve 8130 and is pressed by the clamping frame 8170 to ensure that its fixed position does not shift, while simultaneously achieving efficient filtration. The clamping frame 8170's function is to firmly press the first filter screen 8160 against the end face of the first connecting sleeve 8130, preventing the filter screen from loosening or deforming. The clamping frame 8170 can provide uniform pressure to the filter screen, ensuring consistent filtration effect. The rotating frame 8180 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first connecting sleeve 8130 by bolts. The position of the rotating frame 8180 is offset from that of the clamping frame 8170. The offset design of the fixed position of the rotating frame 8180 from the clamping frame 8170 avoids mutual interference and improves the stability of the overall structure and ease of operation.
[0066] Specifically, the pneumatic particle conveyor 710 feeds sand particles from the sand delivery pipe 720 into the first sand outlet pipe 8120. The first filter screen 8160 filters impurities, preventing larger particles or impurities from being conveyed out with the material, ensuring that only qualified material passes through the sand outlet component 80. The cooperation of various components such as the fixed block 8140, the clamping frame 8170, and the rotating frame 8180 ensures the stability of the sand outlet component 80 and prevents any vibration or pressure changes during material conveying from affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
[0067] It is worth noting that the fixing pins 8150 set on the fixing block 8140 ensure a firm connection of each component during use, avoiding the risk of loosening or component detachment. The first filter screen 8160 not only performs high-efficiency filtration, but also has the same outer diameter as the first connecting sleeve 8130, preventing the possibility of material leakage. At the same time, the clamping frame 8170 ensures the long-term stable operation of the filter screen.
