[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a locomotive track shoe control box, including a track shoe control box body 1 and locomotive track shoes 12. The body 1 has a cabinet 2 on its exterior, and a UWB anchor point mounting box 9 is installed inside the cabinet 2 at its lower part. Support legs 3 are welded evenly at intervals to the bottom of the cabinet 2, and a fixing plate 10 is bolted to the bottom of the inner side of the cabinet 2 after locking. The fixing plate 10 has symmetrically formed limit grooves 1001. This structure provides storage space for the locomotive track shoes 12 through the cabinet 2 and also provides security and anti-theft protection for the locomotive track shoes 12. A mounting base 904 with an elongated hole is welded to the lower part of the front end of the UWB anchor point mounting box 9, and limit seats 903 are also welded to both sides of the bottom of the UWB anchor point mounting box 9. The seat 903 engages with the limiting groove 1001, allowing the UWB anchor installation box 9 to move under the support of the fixed plate 10, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the internal structure of the UWB anchor installation box 9. The mounting base 904 is used for the stable positioning of the UWB anchor installation box 9. A door 5 is hinged to the side opening of the cabinet 2, and a matching smart lock 7 is installed between the door 5 and the cabinet 2. The cabinet 2 has staggered outer support rods 6 and inner support rods 8 fixed inside, allowing the locomotive track shoe 12 to be placed at an angle so that the weight of the locomotive track shoe 12 is applied to the gravity support 602, while saving the space occupied by the cabinet 2 and facilitating the removal of the locomotive track shoe 12. Partitions 11 are evenly spaced between the outer support rods 6 and the inner support rods 8. 1. A partitioned placement mechanism for locomotive track shoes 12 is used, with the track shoes 12 positioned above the outer support rod 6 and the inner support rod 8. The outer support rod 6 is a U-shaped channel steel, and its upper end is covered with a fixed cover plate 601. A gravity support member 602 is movably engaged within the cover plate 601, and the gravity support member 602 contacts and engages with the locomotive track shoe 12. Support springs 604 are fitted inside the outer support rod 6, outside the pressure sensor 603, and the upper ends of the support springs 604 are supported by the bottom of the gravity support member 602. This structure, by placing the gravity sensing structure on the outer support rod 6, ensures that when the locomotive track shoe 12 is placed in the appropriate position, the corresponding light in the light control display mechanism 501 is illuminated, thus clearly indicating the locomotive track shoe inside the track shoe control box 1. Regarding the placement of the wheel shoe 12, the weight of the wheel shoe 12 acts on the gravity support 602, causing the gravity support 602 to move downwards. At this time, the gravity support 602 comes into contact with the pressure sensor 603, which senses the weight change and detects the placement of the wheel shoe 12. Because the support spring 604 supports the gravity support 602, after the wheel shoe 12 is removed, the gravity support 602 will return to its original position under the reaction force of the spring. The wheel shoe 12 is integrally equipped with a hook 1201, and a UWB tag positioning seat 1203 is installed at the tail end of the wheel shoe 12. A positioning chain 1202 is connected to the hook 1201. A light control display mechanism 501 corresponding to the position of the outer support rod 6 is installed on the inner side of the door 5.Furthermore, a pressure sensor 603 is embedded in the outer support rod 6, and the pressure sensor 603 is connected to the light control display mechanism 501. Positioning plates 4 are respectively provided on the upper part of the outer support rod 6, and both ends of the positioning plates 4 are welded and fixed to the cabinet 2. The outer side of the positioning plates 4 is also bolted with evenly spaced hanging rods 401, and the other end of the positioning chain 1202 is hung on the hanging rod 401 via a hook. This structure ensures that the positioning chain 1202 on the locomotive track shoe 12 has a positioning point after the locomotive track shoe 12 is placed inside the track shoe control box body 1, preventing misalignment. The chain 1202 is wound together, and a flip cover 901 is hinged and fixed to the upper end of the UWB anchor point mounting box 9. The flip cover 901 is sealed to the UWB anchor point mounting box 9, and a push-pull handle 902 is screwed on the front end of the UWB anchor point mounting box 9. This structure, by designing the flip cover 901 on the UWB anchor point mounting box 9, facilitates the maintenance and handling of the internal structure of the UWB anchor point mounting box 9. One UWB anchor point can receive signals from multiple UWB tags to realize the position tracking of the locomotive tracker 12 for the control of the locomotive tracker 12.

[0019] Working principle: When using the locomotive track shoe control box, the main body 1 of the track shoe control box is supported at the bottom of the cabinet 2 by the support legs 3. The UWB anchor point installation box 9 is placed on the fixed plate 10 through the engagement of the limiting seat 903 and the limiting groove 1001. By opening the flip cover 901, the internal structure of the UWB anchor point installation box 9 can be inspected and maintained. By pushing and pulling the UWB anchor point installation box 9 through the push and pull handle 902, the UWB anchor point installation box 9 can be opened and closed. The B anchor point mounting box 9 is sent into the cabinet 2, and then the mounting base 904 bolts the UWB anchor point mounting box 9 to the fixing plate 10. The UWB tag is set on the locomotive track shoe 12 through the UWB tag positioning base 1203. The UWB tag and the UWB anchor point work together to position the locomotive track shoe 12. When the locomotive track shoe 12 is placed on the outer support rod 6 and the inner support rod 8, the weight of the locomotive track shoe 12 is applied to the gravity support member 602, so that the gravity support member 602... 2. The relative cover plate 601 moves and compresses the support spring 604. The gravity support 602 supports the pressure sensor 603, causing the pressure sensor 603 to sense a change in weight. Through the cooperation of the pressure sensor 603 and the light control display mechanism 501, the corresponding LED light is lit. After the locomotive slipper 12 is removed, the weight sensed by the pressure sensor 603 disappears, and the corresponding LED light goes out, so as to promptly understand the removal and placement of the locomotive slipper 12. The partition 11 is used for partitioning between the outer support rod 6 and the inner support rod 8 to ensure that each locomotive slipper 12 has an independent placement position. After the locomotive slipper 12 is placed, the positioning chain 1202 fixed on the hook 1201 can be hung on the hanging rod 401 to prevent the positioning chain 1202 from getting tangled. The positioning plate 4 plays a stabilizing role for the hanging rod 401. After the box door 5 is closed, it is locked by the intelligent lock 7, which can only be opened by relevant personnel for anti-theft processing, thus completing a series of operations.

[0020] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
