Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of railway track maintenance equipment, and in particular to a spacing adjustment mechanism for a double-headed sleeper bolt wrench. Background Technology
[0002] Railway transportation relies on trains running on rails, which are secured using anchor bolts, spring clips, and other anchoring devices. Therefore, railway construction, daily work, and maintenance all require the extensive use of sleeper bolt wrenches. To improve maintenance efficiency, double-ended bolt wrenches capable of working on both sides of the rail simultaneously have been developed. However, in existing bolt wrenches, both wrench mechanisms are fixed to the frame, and the distance between the centerlines of their working sleeves is usually fixed and not adjustable. In reality, the center distance of anchor bolts on ballastless track is 234mm, while on conventional railways and ballasted high-speed railways it is 214mm. This means that existing double-ended bolt wrenches cannot simultaneously accommodate both distances.
[0003] Meanwhile, in some special situations, such as when the bolt spacing becomes non-standard due to deformation of the track / sleeper, standard-spacing double-ended bolt wrenches are not applicable. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a double-ended bolt wrench that can adjust the working spacing as needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of fixed position of working sleeve and poor adaptability of existing track bolt wrenches, and to provide a spacing adjustment mechanism for a double-headed sleeper bolt wrench, which can adjust the distance between the two working sleeves as needed, thereby realizing stepless adjustment of the working sleeve spacing and effectively improving the applicability of the double-headed bolt wrench.

The opposite sides of the transmission sleeve are connected to the two mounting base plates through a transmission arm.

[0020] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2A spacing adjustment mechanism for a double-headed sleeper bolt wrench includes a frame 1 and two wrench mechanisms 2. Two parallel support beams 3 are provided on the frame 1 along its width direction. A guide rail 4 is provided on each of the two support beams 3 along its length direction. The guide rail 4 can be a linear guide rail 4 or other types of guide rail 4. Two mounting base plates 5 are slidably fitted onto the two guide rails 4, and the two wrench mechanisms 2 are mounted on the two mounting base plates 5. In implementation, the lower side of the mounting base has a T-slot, and the upper part of the cross-section of the guide rail 4 is correspondingly T-shaped. At least one locking bolt is provided between each mounting base plate 5 and the guide rail 4, thereby locking and fixing the position of the mounting base plate 5.
[0021] A support plate 6 is provided at the midpoint of the length of the two support beams 3, with both ends of the support plate 6 fixedly connected to the two support beams 3 respectively. An adjusting screw 7 is vertically mounted on the support plate 6, and a transmission sleeve 8 is mounted on the adjusting screw 7. The opposite sides of the transmission sleeve 8 are connected to the two mounting base plates 5 via transmission arms 9. Rotating the adjusting screw 7 allows the two mounting base plates 5 to move in opposite directions or away from each other via the transmission arms 9. In practice, an upper support lug is provided on each side of the transmission sleeve 8, and a lower support lug is provided on the side of each mounting base plate 5 closest to the support plate 6. The upper end of the transmission arm 9 is rotatably connected to the upper support lug via a rotating shaft, and the lower end is rotatably connected to the lower support lug via a rotating shaft. For ease of assembly, a pin is used for the rotating shaft.
[0022] In this design, a threaded seat 10 is provided on the support plate 6, and the adjusting screw 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded seat 10. A through hole is provided on the support plate 6 corresponding to the position of the adjusting screw 7, allowing the adjusting screw 7 to pass through. The transmission sleeve 8 is rotatably sleeved on the adjusting screw 7 and located near the upper part of the adjusting screw 7. A support ring is formed on the adjusting screw 7 at a position corresponding to the lower side of the transmission sleeve 8, and a fixing ring is provided on the upper side of the transmission sleeve 8, which is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 7.
[0023] In practice, an adjustment handwheel 11 is provided at the upper end of the adjustment screw 7, and the adjustment handwheel 11 is fixedly connected to the adjustment screw 7, which makes the adjustment operation more convenient.
[0024] This solution uses the rotating adjusting screw 7 to drive the transmission sleeve 8 to move up and down. The transmission sleeve 8 then drives the two mounting base plates 5 to move synchronously towards or away from each other through the transmission arm 9. This allows for the adjustment of the distance between the two wrench mechanisms 2 (working sleeves), enabling arbitrary adjustment of the distance as needed. This achieves stepless adjustment of the working sleeve distance and effectively improves the application range of the double-ended bolt wrench.
[0025] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that a support ring is provided on the support plate, and the lower end of the adjusting screw extends into the support ring and is rotatably connected to it; the transmission sleeve is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw. A bearing is provided between the lower end of the adjusting screw and the support ring. Using this design, rotating the adjusting screw causes the transmission sleeve to move up and down along the adjusting screw, thereby moving the transmission arm and then the mounting base plate, thus achieving the adjustment of the distance between the two wrench mechanisms. Overall assembly and processing are more convenient, and the adjustment operation is easier and less strenuous. In this design, the upper side of the adjusting screw can be machined into a hexagonal structure, meaning the cross-section of the upper section of the adjusting screw is machined into a hexagonal structure, making operation with a wrench convenient.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and not to limit the technical solutions. Those skilled in the art should understand that any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of this utility model that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this technical solution should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
