[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of track measurement auxiliary technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary adapter component for a track measurement trolley. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern track inspection and maintenance, track measuring trolleys are a crucial and widely used piece of equipment. They are mainly used to accurately measure key indicators such as track geometry and flatness, providing critical data support for ensuring safe track operation and timely maintenance. Track measuring trolleys play an irreplaceable role in many industries and various track scenarios, including railways and urban rail transit, and are one of the core tools for track maintenance work.

[0003] However, in practical use, the track measuring trolley faces a thorny technical problem. Due to the differences in track spacing in different sites, the current track measuring trolley has obvious limitations in terms of versatility. Existing track measuring trolleys can usually only be adapted to specific track spacings. When it is necessary to work in sites with different track spacings, the operators must carry multiple measuring trolleys adapted to different models and sizes of tracks. This situation increases the workload of personnel, not only requiring extra time and energy to prepare and switch between different measuring trolleys, but also causing great waste in terms of human resources and equipment management costs, greatly increasing the inspection cost and reducing the efficiency and flexibility of the inspection work.

[0004] To address these issues, the applicant proposes an auxiliary adapter component for a track measuring trolley. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary adapter component for a track measuring trolley to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An auxiliary adapter component for a track measuring trolley includes an outer frame. A docking block is fixedly connected to one side of the outer frame, and a connecting mechanism is sleeved on the outer ring of the docking block. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting piece, which is sleeved on the outer ring of the docking block. A reinforcing rib is vertically arranged in the inner cavity of the outer frame. A limiting mechanism is provided on both sides of the reinforcing rib. The limiting mechanism includes a shell. Several insertion holes are opened on both sides of the reinforcing rib. An insertion rod is horizontally arranged in the inner cavity of the shell, and one end of the insertion rod passes through the side wall of the adjacent shell and is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole. A roller is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the outer frame.

[0008] Preferably, a partition is fixedly connected to one side of the docking block, and a flat plate is provided below the docking block. The top two sides of the flat plate are fixedly connected to the bottom two sides of the connecting piece by bolts.

[0009] Preferably, the other end of the insertion rod is fixedly connected to a handle through the side wall of the adjacent housing, and a baffle is sleeved on the outer ring of the insertion rod and located in the inner cavity of the corresponding housing, with one end of the baffle abutting against the inner wall of the adjacent housing.

[0010] Preferably, a return spring is installed on the outer ring of the insertion rod, one end of the return spring is fixedly connected to one end of the adjacent baffle, and the other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjacent outer shell.

[0011] Preferably, a base plate is horizontally provided on the top of the roller, through slots are provided on both sides of the bottom of the outer frame, and sliding rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate, with the top of the sliding rods passing through adjacent through slots and fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding outer shell.

[0012] Preferably, a scale is fixedly connected to both sides of the reinforcing rib, and vertical rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the base plate. The two ends of the roller are respectively rotatably connected to one side of the adjacent vertical rod through a rotating shaft, and the outer ring of the roller is fitted with rubber anti-slip texture.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This solution effectively improves the adaptability of traditional measuring trolleys due to inconsistent track spacing during practical use, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the measuring equipment under different track spacing environments. By introducing an adjustable roller structure, the same measuring trolley can easily adapt to various track widths, avoiding the need for frequent replacement of different models of equipment, thereby reducing the purchase and maintenance costs of the equipment. At the same time, this design also simplifies the operation process, reduces the labor intensity of operators, reduces the possibility of human error, and improves the efficiency and continuity of the overall inspection work.

[0015] The design of the limiting mechanism improves the ease of operation and stability of the track measuring trolley under different track spacing environments. Specifically, the cooperation between the rod and the hole in the limiting mechanism makes the adjustment of the roller position simpler and more precise. The operator only needs to pull the rod to quickly unlock and slide the outer shell to adjust the roller position. The return spring and the baffle ensure that the new position can be automatically locked after the rod is released, avoiding the errors that may be caused by manual fixing.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4. An auxiliary adapter component for a track measuring trolley includes an outer frame 1. A docking block 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer frame 1, and a connecting mechanism 2 is sleeved on the outer ring of the docking block 11. The connecting mechanism 2 includes a connecting piece 201, which is sleeved on the outer ring of the docking block 11. A reinforcing rib 3 is vertically arranged in the inner cavity of the outer frame 1. A limiting mechanism 6 is provided on both sides of the reinforcing rib 3. The limiting mechanism 6 includes a housing 601. Several insertion holes 4 are opened on both sides of the reinforcing rib 3. An insertion rod 602 is horizontally arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 601, and one end of the insertion rod 602 passes through the side wall of the adjacent housing 601 and is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 4. A roller 9 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the outer frame 1.

[0026] A partition plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the docking block 11, and a flat plate 202 is provided below the docking block 11. The top two sides of the flat plate 202 are fixedly connected to the bottom two sides of the connecting piece 201 by bolts 203.

[0027] The other end of the insertion rod 602 is fixedly connected to a handle through the side wall of the adjacent outer shell 601. A baffle 603 is sleeved on the outer ring of the insertion rod 602 and located in the inner cavity of the corresponding outer shell 601. One end of the baffle 603 abuts against the inner wall of the adjacent outer shell 601.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, when using the auxiliary adapter component for the track measuring trolley, the operator first connects the outer frame 1 to the measuring trolley, fixing one side of the outer frame 1 to the corresponding position of the trolley with bolts 203. Then, the connecting piece 201 is fitted onto the outer ring of the trolley, and the flat plate 202 is placed on one side of the outer ring of the trolley. The connecting piece 201 and the flat plate 202 are then fastened together with bolts 203, thus achieving a stable installation between the entire auxiliary adapter component and the measuring trolley. After the foundation is fixed, the roller 9 can cooperate with the other wheel on the trolley to jointly support the smooth operation of the trolley on the track. When it is necessary to adapt to tracks with different spacings, the operator simultaneously pulls the two plug rods 602 to disengage them from the current plug hole 4, releasing the limiting state. Then, the operator pushes or pulls the outer shell 601 along the extension direction of the through groove 5, driving the base plate 7 and the roller 9. Synchronous movement allows for precise adjustment by observing the displacement distance of the outer casing 601 using the scale 13. Once adjusted to the appropriate position, the operator releases the insertion rod 602. Under the action of the return spring 604, the baffle 603 transmits the pushing force to the insertion rod 602, causing it to re-insert into the corresponding insertion hole 4, completing the positioning and locking. This achieves flexible adjustment and stable fixation of the roller 9 position. In practical applications, this solution effectively solves the problem of poor versatility of existing measuring trolleys due to differences in track spacing, improving the adaptability of the measuring trolley to different track environments. By setting adjustable rollers 9, the same measuring trolley can easily adapt to various track spacings without the need to replace different models of trolleys, reducing equipment procurement and maintenance costs. It also reduces the workload and error probability of operators, improving detection efficiency and operational continuity.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4. A return spring 604 is installed on the outer ring of the insertion rod 602. One end of the return spring 604 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjacent baffle 603, and the other end of the return spring 604 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjacent outer shell 601.

[0031] A base plate 7 is horizontally mounted on the top of the roller 9. Through slots 5 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the outer frame 1. Slide rods are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 7 on both sides, and the top of the slide rods passes through the adjacent through slots 5 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding outer shell 601.

[0032] Both sides of the reinforcing rib 3 are fixedly connected with a scale 13, and both sides of the bottom of the base plate 7 are fixedly connected with vertical rods 8. The two ends of the roller 9 are respectively rotatably connected to one side of the adjacent vertical rod 8 through a rotating shaft. The outer ring of the roller 9 is fitted with rubber anti-slip texture 10.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, through the coordinated arrangement of the docking block 11, partition plate 12, plate 202, connecting piece 201, and bolt 203, during actual installation, personnel fix the docking block 11 and partition plate 12 together, thereby improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure. Simultaneously, the plate 202 below the docking block 11 is fastened to the connecting piece 201 on both sides using bolts 203, ensuring the secure installation of the entire auxiliary adapter component on the trolley. This achieves the effect of enhancing structural connection strength and improving the overall stability of the device, helping to ensure safety and reliability during the measurement process. Through the coordinated arrangement of the insertion rod 602, outer shell 601, baffle 603, and handle, personnel can pull the insertion rod 602 through the handle during adjustment operations, disengaging it from the current insertion hole 4 and releasing the limiting state. During its movement, the insertion rod 602 drives the baffle 603 to move together, providing guidance support for subsequent reset. This facilitates quick unlocking and adjustment of the roller 9 position by the operator, improving adjustment efficiency and ease of operation, and making the equipment easier to use. Through the coordinated arrangement of the insertion rod 602, reset spring 604, baffle 603, and housing 601, after the roller 9 position is adjusted, the operator releases the insertion rod 602. At this time, the reset spring 604 releases its elastic potential energy under compression, pushing the baffle 603 back to its initial position and causing the insertion rod 602 to automatically insert into the corresponding insertion hole 4, completing the automatic locking of the roller 9 position. This simplifies the locking operation process, improves positioning accuracy and repeatability, and enhances the stability and controllability of the equipment.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
