The navigation module 40 is connected to the shunting body 10 and is used to receive signals output by the locomotive's radar to move the shunting body 10 to the underside of the locomotive. This allows the shunting body 10 to move automatically on the track via the navigation module 40, avoiding the need for manual pushing of the shunting body 10 to the underside of the locomotive and improving the working efficiency of the locomotive shunting assembly 100.
[0038] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the application, the shunting body 10 serves as a supporting component of the locomotive shunting assembly 100, and the shunting body 10 is used to support the lifting platform 20 and the navigation module 40.
[0039] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the lifting platform 20 is disposed on the upper side of the shunting body 10. The lifting platform 20 is vertically connected to the shunting body 10 so as to adjust the position of the lifting platform 20 relative to the shunting body 10. The lifting platform 20 supports the locomotive so as to drive the locomotive to rise and fall, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the locomotive's height relative to the ground.
[0040] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the wheel 30 is disposed on the lower side of the shunting body 10 and is rotatably connected to the shunting body 10 so as to adjust the position of the wheel 30 relative to the shunting body 10.

[0041] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the navigation module 40 is disposed inside the shunting body 10 and connected to the shunting body 10 so that the navigation module 40 is fixed to the shunting body 10.

[0042] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3The locomotive shunting assembly 100 also includes a positioning module 50, which is located inside the shunting body 10 and connected to the shunting body 10.

[0043] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 The locomotive shunting assembly 100 also includes an infrared transmitter 60, which is located on the outside of the lifting platform 20 and connected to the lifting platform 20. This allows the infrared transmitter 60 to be fixed to the lifting platform 20 and to move up and down with the lifting platform 20. When the shunting body 10 moves to the underside of the locomotive, the infrared rays output by the infrared transmitter 60 are aligned with the part of the locomotive to be supported, so that the lifting platform 20 can be aligned with the part of the locomotive to be supported through the infrared transmitter 60, thus ensuring the positional accuracy of the lifting platform 20 relative to the part of the locomotive to be supported.
[0044] Please refer to the attached document.

The wheelset fixing part 21 is used to connect with the locomotive wheels so that the locomotive wheels can be connected to the wheelset fixing part 21. This allows the wheelset fixing part 21 to restrict the position of the locomotive wheels and ensure the positional accuracy of the locomotive wheels relative to the wheelset fixing part 21.
[0045] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 The wheelset fixing part 21 is provided with a groove 21a. The groove 21a is recessed from top to bottom in the wheelset fixing part 21. The groove opening of the groove 21a faces upward. The inner contour of the groove 21a is adapted to the locomotive wheel. The inner contour of the groove 21a and the locomotive wheel are interference fit. The groove 21a is used to engage the locomotive wheel so that the locomotive wheel can engage the wheelset fixing part 21 through the groove 21a, thereby making it easier for the inner sidewall of the groove 21a to restrict the position of the locomotive wheel.
[0046] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 The lifting platform 20 is provided with a locomotive fixing part 22, which is located outside the wheelset fixing part 21. The locomotive fixing part 22 and the wheelset fixing part 21 are arranged adjacent to each other.

This facilitates the combination of the locomotive fixing part 22 and the wheelset fixing part 21 to support the locomotive body and the locomotive wheels respectively, thereby improving the support stability of the lifting platform 20 for the locomotive.
[0047] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 Multiple lifting platforms 20 are provided, and the multiple lifting platforms 20 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the shunting body 10. The multiple lifting platforms 20 correspond to each wheel of the locomotive.

The output end of the lifting component 23 is connected to the lifting platform 20 and drives the lifting platform 20 to rise and fall. This allows the lifting platform 20 to rise and fall relative to the shunting body 10 through the lifting component 23, thereby facilitating the lifting platform 20 to drive the locomotive to rise and fall during the lifting process. Optionally, the lifting component 23 is a lifting cylinder.
[0049] Workflow: The locomotive shunting assembly 100 is embedded underground. In non-operational mode, the lifting platform 20 is located inside the shunting main body 10, fully utilizing its internal space. In operation, the locomotive's radar sends commands to locate the positioning module 50, thus determining the position of the locomotive shunting assembly 100. The navigation module 40, based on the radar direction, drives the wheels 30 to the corresponding position, enabling the shunting main body 10 to move automatically on the track via the navigation module 40, avoiding obstacles. This eliminates the need for the shunting main body 10 to be manually pushed to the underside of the locomotive, improving the working efficiency of the locomotive shunting assembly 100. When the infrared rays output by the infrared transmitter 60 are aligned with the infrared receiving point set at the bottom of the locomotive, the locomotive shunting assembly 100 can reach the working position. This allows the locomotive fixing part 22 and the wheelset fixing part 21 of the lifting platform 20 to support the locomotive body and the locomotive wheels respectively. During the lifting process, the lifting platform 20 lifts the locomotive through the locomotive fixing part 22 and the wheelset fixing part 21 to realize the locomotive preparation operation.

This allows the shunting body 10 to move automatically on the track via the navigation module 40, avoiding the need for manual pushing of the shunting body 10 to the underside of the locomotive and improving the working efficiency of the locomotive shunting assembly 100.
[0052] The lifting platform 20 is provided with a wheelset fixing part 21, which is arranged on the upper side of the lifting platform 20 and faces the locomotive wheels. The wheelset fixing part 21 is used to connect with the locomotive wheels so that the locomotive wheels can be connected to the wheelset fixing part 21. This allows the wheelset fixing part 21 to restrict the position of the locomotive wheels and ensure the positional accuracy of the locomotive wheels relative to the wheelset fixing part 21.
[0053] The wheelset fixing part 21 is provided with a groove 21a, which is recessed from top to bottom in the wheelset fixing part 21. The groove opening of the groove 21a faces upward, and the inner contour of the groove 21a is adapted to the locomotive wheel. The inner contour of the groove 21a and the locomotive wheel are interference-fitted. The groove 21a is used to engage the locomotive wheel so that the locomotive wheel can engage the wheelset fixing part 21 through the groove 21a, thereby making it easier for the inner sidewall of the groove 21a to restrict the position of the locomotive wheel.
[0054] In addition, the lifting platform 20 is provided with a locomotive fixing part 22, which is located on the outside of the wheelset fixing part 21. The locomotive fixing part 22 and the wheelset fixing part 21 are arranged adjacent to each other. The locomotive fixing part 22 is used to support the locomotive body so that the locomotive fixing part 22 can lift the locomotive body during the lifting process.
