[0025] Example 1
[0026] This utility model provides a test scheme for wheel tread profile concavity wear. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the wheel tread profile concavity and wear testing device provided by this utility model 1 is laterally positioned on the inner side of the wheel. A magnetic module is installed in the positioning surface to ensure that the measuring head of the device is perpendicular to the wheel tread and that the measuring head is within a certain range around the nominal radius circle of the wheel. The measuring mechanism consists of a spring-loaded displacement sensor measuring module 6 and a measuring head 7. During measurement, the measuring head 7 falls onto the tread, and the acquisition system reads data from each point, which can directly obtain the concavity evaluation parameters reflecting wheel concavity and wear. The device has high measurement accuracy and a simple structure.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the track vehicle tread concavity measuring device includes a bracket 1, a button 2, a display screen 3, a vertical positioning column 4, a data acquisition card 5, a measuring module 6, a measuring head 7, and a lateral positioning magnet 8.
[0028] The bracket 1 is made of aluminum alloy and has a concave right-angled rounded corner structure. Its side has a lateral positioning surface that precisely fits the inner surface of the wheel tread, and it is sealed with a cover plate at the back. The side of the bracket 1 opposite the wheel tread surface is the measuring surface, which houses a measuring mechanism including 5 to 8 pairs of measuring modules 6 and measuring heads 7. The measuring modules 6 are located within the measuring surface and extend through the bracket 1 at one end. The measuring heads 7 are located at the end of the measuring modules 6 that extends out of the measuring surface of the bracket 1; they are blade-shaped and can extend and retract vertically to obtain the relative vertical distance at that point. The data acquisition card 5 is installed on the upper part of the measuring modules 6 and is connected to them via signal transmission. A vertical positioning device 4 is fixed to the bracket 1. The front of the bracket 1 has buttons 2 and a display screen 3, which allow input of measurement options and display of the measurement results.
[0029] During measurement, the lateral positioning magnet 8 is in close contact with the wheel back, while the vertical positioning post 4 is in contact with the outer side of the tread. The bracket contains a measuring mechanism; multiple measuring heads 7 in the measuring module extend and retract vertically to obtain the relative vertical distance at that point.
[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the rail vehicle tread concavity measuring device is calibrated using calibration block 9. First, the measuring device is placed on calibration block 9 for calibration, with each measuring head contacting the horizontal surface of calibration block 9 to obtain zero-point calibration data, which is displayed on display screen 3 and stored in data acquisition card 5. Then, the measuring device is placed on the wheel tread being measured, with the vertical positioning column 4 in contact with the tread and the lateral positioning magnet 8 in contact with the inner surface of the tread, forming a reliable positioning. The measuring mechanism 6 inside the bracket 1 simultaneously contacts the lowered tread, and the measurement results are displayed on display screen 3.
