Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of height measurement technology, specifically relating to a device for measuring the height of a subway vehicle coupler. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the subway car coupler is one of the most fundamental and crucial components connecting trains. Its primary function is to couple trains or cars together, connecting individual cars into a single train formation, maintaining a certain distance between them, or facilitating emergency coupling, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of subway train operation. The coupler connects the train's internal pneumatic, electrical, and mechanical systems, transmitting traction force, mitigating longitudinal forces and impacts between trains, and establishing electrical and pneumatic connections between vehicles. If the train coupler height exceeds the standard, the fully automatic coupler cannot engage properly. In the event of a sudden fault on the main line, emergency trains cannot be docked, affecting train safety and mainline operation.
[0003] Commonly used couplers, such as fully automatic couplers, require no manual operation and can automatically couple mechanical and electrical couplers on subway trains. When a mainline train needs rescue coupling, the couplers must be in good condition to ensure timely and effective train rescue operations. To ensure safe and reliable train coupling, regular routine maintenance of the train couplers is required. According to the requirements for fully automatic coupler docking, the height of the couplers of two trains to be coupled should be approximately 720mm to achieve automatic coupling. Therefore, system maintenance work requires height measurement of the fully automatic couplers of each subway train. In the subway coupler height measurement and maintenance work, two people are required: one to operate the measuring tape and the other to take the reading. According to the measurement process requirements, the coupler height is: the distance from the upper end face of the coupler tongue to the rail minus half the size of the coupler tongue. Each measurement requires measuring the size of the coupler tongue and then calculating the coupler height, which is inconvenient for data reading. The coupler height is the vertical distance from the middle of the coupler tongue to the rail surface. If the measuring tape is not properly placed or the level is not tangent to the measuring tape, the measurement accuracy will be affected.
[0004] Therefore, a new technology is needed to solve the problem that existing technologies are not convenient for accurately measuring the height of subway car couplers. Utility Model Content
