Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The present invention relates to a skirt lock device for rail transit, comprising a skirt lock base plate 1, an unlocking cylinder 2, a locking tongue 3, a pad block 4, a connecting screw 5, a rotating arm 6, a trigger rack 7, a safety shaft 8, a pin 11, a torsion spring 13, a gear 14, and a connecting plate 15. The unlocking cylinder 2 and the pad block 4 are located on the skirt lock base plate 1. The locking tongue 3, the rotating arm 6, and the connecting plate 15 are respectively assembled and connected by the connecting screw 5. The gear 14 is installed on the safety shaft 8 and corresponds to the trigger rack 7. One end of the trigger rack 7 is connected to the unlocking cylinder 2. The pin 11 is installed on the skirt lock base plate 1. One end of the torsion spring 13 is connected to the pin 11, and the other end of the torsion spring 13 is connected to the connecting screw 5.
[0020] The skirt lock base plate 1 of this utility model is provided with two sets of crank-connecting rod mechanisms on the left and right sides. The skirt lock base plate 1 is fastened to the vehicle body skirt with bolts. The vehicle body skirt is located on the rail transit train. The unlocking cylinder 2 and the pad block 4 are respectively fastened to the skirt lock base plate 1 with screws. The unlocking cylinder 2 is fastened to the skirt lock base plate 1 with an M4 9 countersunk hexagonal screw. The pad block 4 is fastened to the skirt lock base plate 1 with an M6 10 countersunk hexagonal screw. The trigger rack 7 is fastened with an M4 12 socket head cap screw.
[0021] In use, during emergency deployment, the driver operates the control button to release air into the unlock cylinder 2. This, through the action of the signal rack 7 and gear 14, pushes the crank-connecting rod mechanism consisting of the locking tongue 3, connecting screw 5, rotating arm 6, and connecting plate 15. The force acting on the connecting plate 15 causes it to pass through the 180° dead point, and the locking tongues 3 on both sides retract, completing the unlocking. During emergency retraction, personnel need to manually operate the safety shaft 8 using the four-way key, rotating it counterclockwise by a certain angle. This causes the signal rack 7 and gear 14 to operate, pushing the locking tongue 3 to extend to both ends. The torsion springs 13 press against one end of the locking tongue 3 respectively, completing the locking.
[0022] The driver operates the unlock button, which pushes the unlock cylinder to activate the rack and pinion, which in turn drives the crank-connecting rod mechanism to move, thus completing the automatic unlocking. The driver then manually operates the safety shaft counterclockwise, which drives the gear to activate the crank-connecting rod mechanism, and the skirt is locked by passing the dead center of the connecting rod.
[0023] This utility model is composed of two sets of crank-connecting rod mechanisms, belonging to the crank-connecting rod and gear rack combination mechanism scheme; it can be automatically unlocked by electro-pneumatic control; before vehicle operation, the skirt lock device needs to be manually locked; in an emergency, the driver can automatically unlock it by pressing the unlock button. It can meet the needs of various working conditions, is safe and reliable, has a simple and convenient structure, and automatically opens in an emergency, shortening escape time and improving the efficiency of emergency evacuation.
