Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel SS4G locomotive windshield wiper assembly, including a bracket 1, a motor 2 mounted on one side of the bracket 1, a rotating shaft 3 rotatably mounted on the other side of the bracket 1, a wiper blade bracket 4 mounted on the front end of the rotating shaft 3, and a connector disposed inside the bracket 1 to connect the motor 2 and the rotating shaft 3. The bracket 1 is installed inside the locomotive driver's cab, and the front end of the rotating shaft 3 extends from the driver's cab to the front of the locomotive. The connector includes a first rotating plate 5 connected to the output end of the motor 2, a second rotating plate 6 connected to the inner end of the rotating shaft 3, and a third rotating plate 7 whose two ends are rotatably connected to the first rotating plate 5 and the second rotating plate 6, respectively. The first rotating plate 5 is detachably connected to the output end of the motor 2, the second rotating plate 6 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 3, and both the first rotating plate 5 and the second rotating plate 6 are detachably connected to the third rotating plate 7. The wiper blade bracket 4 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 3 through a connector 8.

[0023] In this embodiment, by setting the bracket 1 inside the driver's cab and connecting the wiper blade frame 4 through the rotating shaft 3, the wiper blade frame 4 is fixed separately from the rest of the wiper. Furthermore, the connection between the motor 2 and the first rotating plate 5, the first rotating plate 5 and the third rotating plate 7, the third rotating plate 7 and the second rotating plate 6, and the second rotating plate 6 and the rotating shaft 3 can all be disassembled individually. Therefore, the replacement of the wiper can be completed separately inside the locomotive, simplifying the work steps and reducing the risk.

[0024] In a relatively specific embodiment, the motor 2 is bolted to the bracket 1. The output end of the motor 2 is provided with a toothed column 9, and one end of the first rotating plate 5 is provided with a toothed groove 10. The first rotating plate 5 is connected to the conveying end of the motor 2 by fitting the toothed column 9 through the toothed groove 10. The first rotating plate 5 can be connected to the toothed column 9 by simply fitting the toothed sleeve onto the toothed column 9. When disassembling, the first rotating plate 5 can be pulled out of the toothed column 9 along its axial direction.

[0025] In a relatively specific embodiment, a connecting shaft 11 is fixedly provided at one end of the third rotating plate 7 connecting the first rotating plate 5 and the second rotating plate 6. Bearings 12 are provided at both ends of the third rotating plate 7, with the inner rings of the bearings 12 fitted onto the connecting shaft 11. By providing bearings 12 between the first rotating plate 5 and the third rotating plate 7, and between the second rotating plate 6 and the third rotating plate 7, friction is reduced during transmission, decreasing transmission resistance and lowering the load on the motor 2. Simultaneously, the bearings 12 are connected to the connecting shaft 11 via a plug-in connection, and the bearings 12 are also connected to the third rotating plate 7 via a plug-in connection, allowing the bearings 12, the first rotating plate 5, the second rotating plate 6, and the third rotating plate 7 to be disassembled separately, facilitating maintenance.

[0026] Furthermore, a first connecting ring 13, coaxial with the connecting shaft 11, is fixedly installed on the first rotating plate 5 and the second rotating plate 6. A fastening bolt 14 is threaded onto the end of the connecting shaft 11, and a second connecting ring 15, coaxial with the connecting shaft 11, is fixedly installed on the fastening bolt 14. The opposite ends of the first connecting ring 13 and the second connecting ring 15 are respectively pressed against both sides of the inner ring of the bearing 12. When connecting the first rotating plate 5, the second rotating plate 6, and the third rotating plate 7, after the bearing 12 is fitted onto the connecting shaft 11, the fastening bolt 14 is installed onto the connecting shaft 11, so that both sides of the inner ring of the bearing 12 are supported by the first connecting ring 13 and the second connecting ring 15 respectively, which can improve the overall stability.

[0027] A bushing 16 is fitted around the outside of the rotating shaft 3. The rear end of the bushing 16 is inserted into the interior of the bracket 1, and the front end of the bushing 16 is threaded into the locomotive. An internal pressure nut 17, which is pressed against the inner wall of the bracket 1, is threaded onto the rear end of the bushing 16. The front end of the rotating shaft 3 passes through the connector 8 and is threaded into an external pressure nut 18. Through the threaded engagement between the bushing 16 and the locomotive, the bushing 16 can simultaneously connect and stabilize the bracket 1 and the scraper frame 4, and can also allow the bracket 1 and the scraper frame 4 to be fixed separately, facilitating maintenance operations.

[0028] Furthermore, the rear end of the rotating shaft 3 is provided with a rear limiting section 19 with a polygonal surface, and one end of the second rotating plate 6 is provided with a rear limiting groove 20 that fits the rear limiting section 19. The rear end of the rotating shaft 3 is threadedly connected with a connecting bolt 21 that restricts the second rotating plate 6 to the outside of the rear limiting section 19. When connecting the second rotating plate 6 to the rotating shaft 3, simply fit the rear limiting groove 20 onto the rear limiting section 19, and then install the connecting bolt 21, ensuring that the rear limiting groove 20 is always fitted outside the rear limiting section 19. When disassembling the second rotating plate 6 and the rotating shaft 3, simply remove the connecting bolt 21 and then pull out the second rotating plate 6.

[0029] The front end of the rotating shaft 3 is provided with a tapered section 22, and the middle of the tapered section 22 is provided with a polygonal front limiting section 23. The connector 8 has tapered grooves 24 and front limiting grooves 25 that are respectively adapted to the tapered section 22 and the front limiting section 23. The front end of the tapered section 22 is provided with a threaded section 26, the front end of which passes through the connector 8, and the external pressure nut 18 is threadedly engaged with the threaded section 26. When connecting the connecting bracket to the rotating shaft 3, the tapered groove 24 is directly fitted onto the tapered section 22. During this process, the front limiting groove 25 is fitted onto the front limiting section 23. At this time, the threaded section 26 passes through the connector 8, and then the external pressure nut 18 is connected to the threaded section 26.

[0030] In summary, the novel SS4G locomotive windshield wiper assembly of this embodiment, by setting the bracket 1 and the wiper blade bracket 4 to be fixed separately, allows for direct operation inside the locomotive during maintenance, and all other components are connected in a detachable manner, which greatly facilitates maintenance work.

[0031] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the above description. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the scope of this utility model.
