Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of locomotive assembly technology, specifically a train wheelset unloading and lifting device. Background Technology
[0002] During train operation, the wheelsets constantly contact and rub against the rails, inevitably causing wear. According to railway industry regulations, urban rail vehicles need to be returned to the factory for overhaul and major repairs when they reach a specified mileage or age limit. The overhaul period is 5 years or 500,000 kilometers, and the factory repair period is 10 years or 1 million kilometers. The running gear (bogie) needs to be disassembled, the wheelsets removed and pressed, and the bogies are reassembled after inspection. Urban rail vehicle wheelsets have a gearbox structure. Because the clearance between the gearbox and the wheel is too small, the existing wheelset unloading machine cannot meet the single-side wheel removal capacity of the gearbox. Therefore, specialized unloading equipment is needed for removal for inspection and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0016] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment of the utility model, a train wheelset unloading and lifting device includes a track 1, a movable frame 2, a high-pressure hydraulic cylinder 3, a wheel support mechanism 9, a rotation adjustment mechanism 8, and a lifting mechanism 7. The bottom of the movable frame 2 is provided with a wheel that is slidably installed in the track 1. The wheel support mechanism 9 is fixed above the rotation adjustment mechanism 8, and the rotation adjustment mechanism 8 is fixed above the lifting mechanism 7. The lifting mechanism 7 is on the right side of the movable frame 2. A limiting plate 5 is provided on the side of the movable frame 2 near the wheel support mechanism 9. The limiting plate 5 has an open structure and a semi-circular concave limiting groove 501 for supporting the axle. The movable frame 2 is also provided with a guide plate 4. The high-pressure hydraulic cylinder 3 is installed on the left side of the guide plate 4. The guide plate 4 has a limiting hole 401. The axis of the limiting hole 401 coincides with the axis of the limiting groove 501. The push rod of the high-pressure hydraulic cylinder 3 passes through the limiting hole 401 and presses against the end face of the axle.
[0017] The wheel support mechanism 9 includes a base frame 901, on which at least two sets of positioning plates 902 are provided. The positioning plates 902 are vertically mounted on the base frame 901, and each positioning plate 902 has an open structure and a semi-circular recessed positioning groove 902-1 for supporting the wheelset. In this embodiment, three sets of positioning plates 902 are mounted on the base frame 901, and the three sets of positioning plates 902 are spaced apart and parallel to each other.
[0018] The movable frame 2 is also equipped with a fixing seat 6 for installing the limiting plate 5. The fixing seat 6 is vertically fixed to the movable frame 2 and includes a vertical plate 601 and a base plate 602. The vertical plate 601 is vertically fixed above the base plate 602, and the base plate 602 is fixedly installed to the movable frame 2. The limiting plate 5 is installed on the front side of the vertical plate 601. The vertical plate 601 has an open structure and a semi-circular concave guide groove 601-1. The axis of the guide groove 601-1 coincides with the axis of the limiting groove 501, and the diameter of the guide groove 601-1 is larger than the diameter of the limiting groove 501. Two support plates 603 are provided at the front end of the vertical plate 601, and the support plates 603 are vertically fixed between the base plate 602 and the vertical plate 601. In this embodiment, several guide rods are also installed between the vertical plate 601 and the guide plate 4. The two ends of the guide rods are fixedly installed to the vertical plate 601 and the guide plate 4 respectively. Installing guide rods between the vertical plate 601 and the guide plate 4 can make the installation on the movable frame 2 more stable and improve its stability during lateral movement.
[0019] The lifting mechanism 7 is a scissor-type lifting platform. The lifting mechanism 7 includes an upper support platform 701, a hydraulic cylinder 704, a scissor lifting arm, and a base 702. The scissor lifting arm is hinged between the upper support platform 701 and the base 702. The hydraulic cylinder 704 is mounted on the scissor lifting arm. The scissor lifting arm includes two sets of cross arm assemblies 703, which are respectively hinged to each other via several horizontal shafts 706. Each cross arm assembly 703 includes an outer arm 703-2 and an inner arm 703-2. 03-1, one end of the outer arm 703-2 is hinged to the upper support platform 701, and the other end is slidably connected to the base 702. One end of the inner arm 703-1 is hinged to the base 702, and the other end is slidably connected to the upper support platform 701. A drive rod 705 is provided between the two sets of cross arm assemblies 703. Both ends of the drive rod 705 are fixedly installed to the outer arm 703-2. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 704 is hinged to the horizontal shaft 706, and the drive shaft at the other end is hinged to the drive rod 705. When the drive rod 705 of the hydraulic cylinder 704 extends and retracts outward, it drives the entire upper support platform 701 to move up and down under the drive of the two sets of cross arm assemblies 703. The scissor-type mechanical structure gives the upper support platform 701 high stability after lifting, and the overall structure has a large range of change. In the fully retracted state, it occupies very little space, making it easy to store and operate and store in a limited space.
[0020] Workflow: Hoist wheel 10 to one side of limit plate 5, and simultaneously place wheelset assembly 11 (including gearbox) above wheel support mechanism 9. Adjust lifting mechanism 7 and rotation adjustment mechanism 8 to adjust the wheelset as a whole to the optimal unloading position of wheel 7. After the position of wheel 7 is adjusted, start the push rod of high pressure cylinder 3 to push against the end face of the axle of wheelset assembly 11 (including gearbox) (gearbox side). During the start of high pressure cylinder 3, oil is injected to unload the wheel. During the unloading process, wheel 7 will be placed in limit groove 501. Wheelet assembly 11 (including gearbox) will move with wheel support mechanism 9. Finally, after wheel 7 is unloaded, it falls onto the axle journal (the axle journal is protected by a rubber sleeve).
