Abstract
Description
A windbreak wall used to prevent vehicles from slipping on a vehicle transfer platform. Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a windbreak device, specifically a windbreak wall used to prevent vehicles from slipping on a vehicle transfer platform. Background Technology
[0002] The train transfer platform is an important component of the turnaround single-car tipper and pusher system. Its main function is to transfer empty wagons that have been unloaded from the loaded track to the empty track. It mainly consists of rails, frame platform, running gear, drive gear, wheel expander, buffer device, pin positioning system, proximity switch positioning system, encoder control system, etc.
[0003] To save on construction costs, most car transfer platforms are installed outdoors. During use, the main problem is car slippage. Currently, slippage is mainly caused by uneven tracks due to foundation settlement and high wind resistance of the car in windy weather. Both of these factors can easily cause slippage. The recovery speed after slippage is slow, which greatly affects the operating efficiency of the tippler. In severe cases, it can even cause car derailment accidents, which will affect the dispatch of cars and railcars and result in fines from the railway department.
[0004] Furthermore, prolonged runaway can easily cause the pin push rod to deform by "extending and retracting," resulting in a high failure rate. In case of failure, replacement is difficult and time-consuming, and it can also easily lead to fines from the railway department.
[0005] Currently, in order to prevent vehicles from slipping on the relocation platform during strong winds, windbreaks need to be installed on both sides of the platform. However, the existing windbreaks cannot effectively buffer and guide the wind force when encountering strong winds, resulting in poor wind protection and easy damage to the windbreaks after long-term use. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a windbreak wall to prevent vehicles from slipping on a vehicle transfer platform; it solves the problem that existing windbreak walls cannot effectively buffer and guide wind force.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0008] A windbreak wall for preventing a vehicle transfer platform from slipping is disclosed. The transfer platform includes a transfer platform track and a transfer platform; the transfer platform is slidably connected to the transfer platform track; windbreak walls are provided on both sides of the transfer platform track, each windbreak wall including a base plate, a first side post, an edge track plate, a second side post, and a windbreak plate; the first side post is rotatably connected to one side of the base plate, and the edge track plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the base plate; the second side post is movably arranged on the edge track plate, and the windbreak plate is provided between the second side post and the first side post; each edge track plate has an arc-shaped track groove inside, and an arc-shaped buffer spring is fixedly connected inside the arc-shaped track groove; the other end of the arc-shaped buffer spring located inside the edge track plate is connected to the second side post; the bottom of the second side post is slidably connected to the arc-shaped track groove on the edge track plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a central column is fixedly connected to the middle of the back of the wind deflector, and a central track plate is fixedly embedded in the middle of the base plate. An arc-shaped track groove is also opened inside the central track plate, and the bottom of the central column is slidably connected to the arc-shaped track groove on the central track plate.
[0010] Furthermore, another arc-shaped buffer spring is fixedly connected inside the arc-shaped track groove of the middle track plate, and the other end of the other arc-shaped buffer spring is connected to the middle column.
[0011] Furthermore, the base plate is fixed to the ground, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate. The first side column is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, the wind deflector is a rigid wall panel.
[0013] Furthermore, adjustable buffer devices are installed on both sides of the vehicle transfer platform; double-pin electro-hydraulic actuators are installed on the other two sides of the vehicle transfer platform.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows:
[0015] This invention, through the cooperation of a windbreak panel, a first side post, a second side post, and a middle post, allows the wind to push the windbreak panel to rotate around the first side post during windy weather. The rotation of the windbreak panel causes the second side post and the middle post to slide along the arc-shaped track groove, compressing the arc-shaped buffer spring, thereby buffering the wind force. Furthermore, because the windbreak panel is tilted, it can guide the wind to one side, thus not only improving the windproof effect and reducing the risk of train rollover, but also reducing the probability of damage to the windbreak wall. This invention solves the problem of existing windbreak walls failing to effectively buffer and guide wind force. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, this utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection is not limited thereto.
[0025] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, this embodiment proposes a windbreak wall for preventing vehicles from slipping on a transfer platform. The transfer platform is an existing structure, as shown in Figure 1. The transfer platform includes parallel loaded vehicle track 9 and empty vehicle track 10 set on the ground. A transfer platform track 8 is set on one side of the loaded vehicle track 9 and the empty vehicle track 10. The transfer platform track 8 is perpendicular to the loaded vehicle track 9 and the empty vehicle track 10. A transfer platform platform 3 is slidably connected to the transfer platform track 8. A drive device 2 is set on the transfer platform platform 3. A platform track 31 for connecting with the loaded vehicle track 9 and the empty vehicle track 10 is set on the upper surface of the transfer platform platform 3. A proximity switch 6 is set on one side of both the loaded vehicle track 9 and the empty vehicle track 10. An encoder 7 is installed on the side of the transfer platform platform 3 near the proximity switch 6, and the encoder 7 and the proximity switch 6 are linked. The transfer platform 3 moves to the loaded track 9 via the drive device 2. After the platform track 31 is aligned with the loaded track 9 on the ground, the train on the loaded track 9 is moved onto the transfer platform 3. Then, the transfer platform 3 moves laterally to the side of the empty track 10 via the transfer platform track 8. After the platform track 31 is aligned with the empty track 10 on the ground, the train on the transfer platform 3 is moved onto the empty track 10.
[0026] Windbreak walls 1 are installed on both sides of the east side of the open-air vehicle relocation platform. Windbreak walls 1 are located on both sides of the relocation platform track 8, and the length direction of windbreak walls 1 is the same as the length direction of the relocation platform 3.
[0027] The windbreak wall 1 includes a base plate 11, a first side column 12, an edge track plate 13, a second side column 14, a windbreak plate 15, and a middle column 16.
[0028] The base plate 11 is fixed to the ground. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 11. The first side column 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. An edge track plate 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the base plate 11. A second side column 14 is movably arranged on the edge track plate 13. A wind deflector 15 is installed between the second side column 14 and the first side column 12 (to increase the buffering and air guiding effect, the wind deflector 15 can be set as a rigid wall panel). A middle column 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of the back of the wind deflector 15. A middle track plate 17 is fixedly embedded in the middle of the base plate 11. Both the middle track plate 17 and the edge track plate 13 have arc-shaped track grooves 18. The bottom of the middle column 16 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped track groove 18 on the middle track plate 17. The bottom of the second side column 14 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped track groove 18 on the edge track plate 13.
[0029] An arc-shaped buffer spring 19 is fixedly connected inside the arc-shaped track groove 18. The other end of the arc-shaped buffer spring 19 located in the edge track plate 13 is connected to the second side post 14; the other end of the arc-shaped buffer spring 19 located in the middle track plate 17 is connected to the middle post 16.
[0030] In windy weather, the wind force will push the wind deflector 15 to rotate around the axis along with the first side post 2. The rotation of the wind deflector 15 can drive the second side post 14 and the middle post 16 to slide along the arc-shaped track groove 18 and compress the arc-shaped buffer spring 19, thereby buffering the wind force. In addition, since the wind deflector 15 is tilted, it can guide the wind to one side, thereby not only improving the wind protection effect and reducing the chance of the car rolling, but also reducing the probability of damage to the wind deflector wall.
[0031] Referring to Figure 6, adjustable buffer devices 4 are installed on both sides of the transfer platform 3. The adjustable buffer device 4 includes a buffer column 41 and a buffer head 42. One end of the buffer column 41 is welded and fixed to the transfer platform 3, and the other end of the buffer column 41 is connected to the buffer head 42 via a length adjusting bolt assembly. Buffer pads 43 are distributed on the buffer head 42 to absorb buffering force, and several buffer protrusions are provided on the outer surface of the buffer pads 43. The length adjusting bolt assembly includes studs 44 and nuts 45. The four corners of the buffer column 41 and the buffer head 42 are connected by studs 44; four nuts 45 are connected to each stud 44. By adjusting the studs 44 and nuts 45, the buffer device becomes adjustable, allowing the transfer platform 3 to actively slide, so that the platform track 31 is aligned with the loaded car track 9 or the empty car track 10.
[0032] Double-pin electro-hydraulic actuators 5 are installed on the other two sides of the transfer platform 3. Referring to Figure 4, the double-pin electro-hydraulic actuator 5 includes a pin actuator fixing bracket 54, a pin electro-hydraulic actuator 53, a pin head 52, and a pin hole 51. The pin actuator fixing bracket 54 connects a pin actuator fixing bracket 54 to each side of the transfer platform 3 with bolts. The pin electro-hydraulic actuator 53 is connected to the pin actuator fixing bracket 54, and the push rod end of the pin electro-hydraulic actuator 53 is connected to the pin head 52. There are a total of 4 pin holes 51 on both sides of the transfer platform 3 in the direction of alignment with the loaded / empty car track. When the pin electro-hydraulic actuator 53 extends, it drives the pin head 52 to extend into the pin hole 51, thereby realizing the mechanical connection and fixation between the transfer platform 3 and the platform wall, preventing the track from deviating, the platform from slipping, and the car from falling when the car enters or leaves the transfer platform.
[0033] Referring to Figure 5, a proximity signal bracket 64 is welded to the lower part of the transfer platform 3. A proximity switch 6 is installed and fixed on the bracket. When the transfer platform 3 is aligned with the loaded / empty car track, a proximity signal flat iron 61 is installed on the ground and fixed with anchor bolts 62. The proximity switch 6 and the proximity signal flat iron 61 form a signal switch that determines the position is in place when the transfer platform is aligned with the loaded / empty car track.
[0034] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments. It should not be considered that the specific embodiments of the present invention are limited to this. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the present invention, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of patent protection determined by the submitted claims.
