DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a flatcar shunting station positioning auxiliary device includes a foot pedal 6 for detachable installation on a fixed footboard 4 on the flatcar and an extended handrail for detachable installation on a handrail frame 1 on the flatcar. Both the foot pedal 6 and the extended handrail are made of stainless steel.

[0030] The bottom surface of the foot pedal 6 has a concave groove 7 for engaging the outermost horizontal steel plate 5 of the flatbed vehicle mounting foot pedal 4, and the front end has an L-shaped groove 8 for engaging the second outermost horizontal steel plate 5 of the flatbed vehicle mounting foot pedal 4. In addition, the foot pedal 6 has several anti-slip perforations 10, which have a drainage function. The edges of the anti-slip perforations 10 are raised upward to increase frictional resistance and improve the anti-slip effect.

[0031] When using the foot pedal 6, first tilt the foot pedal 6, and let the L-shaped slot 8 at the front end first engage with the lower part of the outer horizontal steel plate 5 of the flatcar fixed pedal 4. Then, lay the foot pedal 6 flat, and let the concave slot 7 engage with the outermost horizontal steel plate 5 of the flatcar fixed pedal 4. This will achieve stable installation of the foot pedal 6, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient practicality.

[0032] The extended handrail includes a support rod 18, a handrail ring 26 located at the top of the support rod 18, and a connecting assembly connected to the support rod 18 and detachably connected to the flatcar handrail frame 1. The connecting assembly includes a connecting sleeve for fitting onto the outside of the handrail plate 2 of the flatcar handrail frame 1 and an anti-detachment hook 20 assembly for detachably connecting to the handrail bar 3 of the flatcar handrail frame 1. The anti-detachment hook 20 assembly is located above the connecting sleeve.

[0033] Specifically, the connecting sleeve includes a crossbar 11 and two L-shaped hooks 12 vertically arranged on the left and right sides of the crossbar 11. The included angle of the L-shaped hooks 12 is 90°. The crossbar 11 and the two L-shaped hooks 12 are located on the same plane and are perpendicular to the support rod 18. In addition, the support rod 18 is connected to the crossbar 11 through a sliding assembly that can slide left and right. The sliding assembly includes a slide rail 14, which is slidably mounted on the crossbar 11 and has an open structure at its rear. The crossbar 11 has a strip-shaped hole 13 along its length. A locking screw 15 is threaded to the front of the slide rail 14. The locking screw 15 passes vertically through the slide rail 14 and the strip-shaped hole 13. A wing nut 16 is threaded to the front end of the locking screw 15, and a hexagonal head 17 is fixedly connected to the rear end.

[0034] When the position of the support rod 18 needs to be adjusted, first loosen the wing nut 16, then slide the slide rail 14 to move the support rod 18 to the appropriate position, and finally tighten the wing nut 16 to achieve relative stability between the support rod 18 and the crossbar 11.

[0035] The anti-detachment hook 20 assembly includes a lower hook 19 for hooking onto the handrail 3 of the flatcar handrail frame 1 and an anti-detachment hook 20 for cooperating with the lower hook 19 to form an opening and closing structure. The lower hook 19 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the support rod 18 with its opening facing downwards. The anti-detachment hook 20 is inverted "Z" shape, with its middle part hinged to the hook body of the lower hook 19 through a rotating pin 21. The upper part of the anti-detachment hook 20 is provided with a positioning spring pin 22, and the upper part of the lower hook 19 is provided with a positioning pin hole. When the positioning spring pin 22 is aligned with the positioning pin hole, its movable end automatically inserts into the positioning pin hole under the action of elastic force. At this time, the anti-detachment hook 20 is in a locked state, closing the opening of the lower hook 19.

[0036] A handle 23 is provided on the front middle of the support rod 18, which makes it convenient for railway shunting personnel to hold and carry the device. A foot hook 24 for attaching the foot pedal 6 is also provided on the upper rear side of the support rod 18. The foot pedal 6 has a hook hole 9 corresponding to the foot hook 24, which combines the extension handrail with the foot pedal 6 for easy handling and storage.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, when using the extended handrail, first, slip the connecting sleeve onto the outside of the handrail plate 2 of the flatcar handrail frame 1 from top to bottom. Then, hook the lower hook 19 onto the handrail bar 3. Next, rotate the anti-disengagement hook 20 until the positioning spring pin 22 aligns with the positioning pin hole, locking the anti-disengagement hook 20 and preventing the lower hook 19 from separating from the handrail bar 3, thus ensuring the extended handrail is stably installed on the flatcar handrail frame 1. When it is necessary to remove the extended handrail, first pull the positioning spring pin 22 outwards to separate it from the positioning pin hole. Then, rotate the anti-disengagement hook 20 to move it away from the handrail bar 3. Finally, remove the extended handrail upwards. This utility model's extended handrail has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, and high safety.

[0038] In addition, the utility model discloses still be provided with the upper car hook 25 on the rear side upper portion of support pole 18, and the opening of upper car hook 25 faces downward. Upper car hook 25 cooperates with lower car hook 19 and anti-unhooking hook 20 component, and still can use the extension handrail on escalator.

[0039] As shown in Figure 6 Using, upper car hook 25 is hung in one steel bar of escalator, lower car hook 19 is hung in another steel bar of escalator, and is locked through anti-unhooking hook 20 component, namely can fix the extension handrail on escalator. If necessary, upper car hook 25 can be set as the form of being movable and locked along support pole 18, and this is conventional technical means, so that the spacing between upper car hook 25 and lower car hook 19 is adjustable, to facilitate the escalator of different steel bar spacing.

[0040] The utility model can effectively solve the problem that railway shunting personnel causes the security hidden danger because of the bad station, and shunting personnel can stand on footboard 6 for a long time and hold firmly handrail ring 26 with one hand, and stand steady, and face the front and look out uninterruptedly, and the liberated hand can use whistle, electric torch, radio and other equipment at any time, so as to be able to respond to the emergency and escape in time, and have the advantages of safe and reliable, convenient and practical, and have wide popularization and application prospect in railway traffic system.

[0041] The above description is the detailed description of the preferred feasible embodiment of the utility model, but the embodiment is not used to limit the patent application range of the utility model, and the equivalent change or modification change under the technical spirit suggested by the utility model should belong to the patent range covered by the utility model.
