[0015] The equipment train includes a train alignment device 100, a distance adjustment component 110, an adjustment element 111, a first adjustment connecting rod 112, a second adjustment connecting rod 113, a first train connector 120, a second train connector 130, a leading equipment train 200, a trailing equipment train 300, and a traction device 400. Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.
[0017] This utility model provides a device for adjusting the alignment of a train and a train. The device can be used to adjust the alignment of a train in a timely manner when it is predicted that the train may deviate. It also simplifies the adjustment method of the train, achieves precise control of the train spacing, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the alignment operation.
[0018] Figure 1 A top view of the equipment train provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2A front view of the equipment train provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the equipment train of this utility model embodiment includes an equipment train alignment device 100, a front equipment train 200 and a rear equipment train 300 movably connected to the equipment train alignment device 100, and a traction device 400 located between the front equipment train 200 and the rear equipment train 300.
[0019] It is understood that the traction device 400 can be articulated with the preceding equipment train 200 and the following equipment train 300 respectively, so as to drive the following equipment train 300 to move when the preceding equipment train 200 is moving.
[0020] In practical implementation, the leading equipment train 200 and the trailing equipment train 300 travel on the track, with the centerline of the leading equipment train 200 (i.e., the centerline in the direction of travel) coinciding with the centerline of the trailing equipment train 300. If a turn or U-turn occurs, due to the significant curvature of the track, the centerline of the trailing equipment train 300 may deviate from the centerline of the leading equipment train 200, potentially causing the trailing equipment train 300 to veer off the track and derail. Therefore, this invention provides an equipment train alignment device 100 between the leading equipment train 200 and the trailing equipment train 300, and this device 100 is movably connected to both the leading and trailing equipment trains.
[0021] In some embodiments, the traction device 400 may be located on the centerline of the preceding equipment train 200 and the following equipment train 300, and the equipment train skewer 100 may be located outside the centerline of the preceding equipment train 200 and the following equipment train 300.
[0022] For example, the number of equipment train alignment devices 100 can be a set.
[0023] When the leading equipment train 200 and the trailing equipment train 300 are traveling in a preset turning direction, if the equipment train alignment device 100 is located far from the preset turning direction at a position between the leading equipment train 200 and the trailing equipment train 300, the equipment train alignment device 100 is used to increase the distance between the leading equipment train 200 and the trailing equipment train 300 on the axis of the equipment train alignment device 100.
[0024] If the equipment train alignment device 100 is positioned close to the preset turning direction between the preceding equipment train 200 and the following equipment train 300, the equipment train alignment device 100 is used to shorten the distance between the preceding equipment train 200 and the following equipment train 300 on the axis of the equipment train alignment device 100.
[0025] Understandably, assuming the preset turning direction is clockwise, since the preceding equipment train 200 has already turned or completed its turn, while the following equipment train 300 has not yet turned or completed its turn, the distance between the two equipment trains on the side away from the clockwise direction increases, and the distance on the side closer to the clockwise direction decreases. At this time, the centerline of the following equipment train 300 is offset from the centerline of the preceding equipment train 200, and the following equipment train 300 is prone to deviating from the track.
[0026] At this time, if the equipment train alignment device 100 is positioned far from the clockwise direction between the two equipment trains, the equipment train alignment device 100 is used to increase the distance between the two equipment trains on the axis of the equipment train alignment device 100; if the equipment train alignment device 100 is positioned close to the clockwise direction between the two equipment trains, the equipment train alignment device 100 is used to shorten the distance between the two equipment trains on the axis of the equipment train alignment device 100.
[0027] For example, the number of equipment train alignment devices 100 can also be two sets, with the two sets of equipment train alignment devices 100 arranged symmetrically along the center line of the preceding equipment train 200 and the following equipment train 300.
[0028] Here, one of the equipment train alignment devices 100 is used to increase the distance between the two equipment trains on the axis of the equipment train alignment device 100, while the other equipment train alignment device 100 is used to shorten the distance between the two equipment trains on the axis of the equipment train alignment device 100.
[0029] Based on this, the present invention provides a train alignment device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the equipment train alignment device 100 is installed between the preceding equipment train 200 and the following equipment train 300. The equipment train alignment device 100 includes a distance adjustment component 110, and a first train connector 120 and a second train connector 130 that are fixedly connected to the two ends of the distance adjustment component 110, respectively. The first train connector 120 is movably connected to the rear of the preceding equipment train 200, and the second train connector 130 is movably connected to the head of the following equipment train 300.
[0030] It should be understood that the distance adjustment component 110 can be used to adjust the distance between the preceding equipment train 200 and the following equipment train 300 to prevent the equipment trains from deviating from the track during operation. The first train connector 120 and the second train connector 130 are both connecting devices, wherein the first train connector 120 is used to connect the distance adjustment component 110 and the preceding equipment train 200 together, and the second train connector 130 is used to connect the distance adjustment component 110 and the following equipment train 300 together.
[0031] Here, the first train connector 120 can be fixedly connected to the end of the distance adjustment assembly 110 near the front equipment train 200, and the second train connector 130 can be fixedly connected to the end of the distance adjustment assembly 110 near the rear equipment train 300. The first train connector 120 is movably connected to the rear of the front equipment train 200, and the second train connector 130 is movably connected to the front of the rear equipment train 300.
[0032] This connection method ensures that while the distance adjustment component 110 adjusts the distance between the leading equipment train 200 and the trailing equipment train 300, it also reduces the possibility of the leading equipment train 200 and the trailing equipment train 300 deviating from the track when turning.
[0033] In practice, if it is anticipated that the equipment train may deviate, the distance adjustment component 110 can be used to adjust the distance between the leading equipment train 200 and the trailing equipment train 300 in a timely manner to correct the deviation, thus avoiding the operational complexity caused by adjusting the position of the equipment train in related technologies.
[0034] When the equipment train consists of multiple sets of equipment trains 200 in front and equipment trains 300 behind, the distance adjustment components 110 between each set of equipment trains 200 in front and equipment trains 300 behind can be used to achieve precise control of the distance between the equipment trains, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the deviation adjustment operation.
[0035] Based on this, the equipment train alignment device provided by this utility model can be used to adjust the equipment train in a timely manner when it is predicted that the equipment train may deviate. It also simplifies the adjustment method of the equipment train, realizes precise control of the equipment train spacing, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the alignment operation.
[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the distance adjustment assembly 110 includes an adjustment member 111, and a first adjustment connecting rod 112 and a second adjustment connecting rod 113 threadedly connected to the two ends of the adjustment member 111. The end of the first adjustment connecting rod 112 away from the adjustment member 111 is fixedly connected to the first train connecting member 120, and the end of the second adjustment connecting rod 113 away from the adjustment member 111 is fixedly connected to the second train connecting member 130.
[0037] In specific implementation, the end of the first adjusting connecting rod 112 away from the adjusting member 111 is fixedly connected to the first train connecting member 120. The end of the first adjusting connecting rod 112 near the adjusting member 111 has a first thread, and the end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 has a second thread, and the second thread is adapted to the first thread. At this time, the first thread and the second thread can be used to movably connect the first adjusting connecting rod 112 and the adjusting member 111.
[0038] The end of the second adjusting connecting rod 113 furthest from the adjusting member 111 is fixedly connected to the second train connecting member 130. The end of the second adjusting connecting rod 113 near the adjusting member 111 has a third thread, and the end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 has a fourth thread, which is compatible with the third thread. In this case, the third and fourth threads can be used to movably connect the second adjusting connecting rod 113 to the adjusting member 111.
[0039] At this time, the overall length of the adjusting member 111, the first adjusting connecting rod 112 and the second adjusting connecting rod 113, which are threaded to the two ends of the adjusting member 111, can be adjusted to adjust the distance between the front equipment train 200 and the rear equipment train 300 to prevent them from deviating from the track.
[0040] For example, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a distance adjustment component provided by this utility model is shown, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 is sleeved inside the first adjusting connecting rod 112, and the end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 is sleeved inside the second adjusting connecting rod 113.
[0041] from Figure 3 It can be seen that the end of the first adjusting connecting rod 112 near the adjusting member 111 and the end of the second adjusting connecting rod 113 near the adjusting member 111 can both be hollow structures with internal threads. That is, the first thread and the third thread mentioned above are both internal threads. Here, the first thread and the third thread can be the same or different, depending on actual needs, and this utility model does not make a specific limitation in this regard.
[0042] The thread (i.e., the second thread) at the end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 is an external thread adapted to the first thread, and the thread (i.e., the fourth thread) at the end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 is an external thread adapted to the third thread. Here, the adjusting member 111 can be a hollow structure or a solid structure, depending on actual needs, and this utility model does not make a specific limitation in this regard.
[0043] For example, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another distance adjustment component provided by this utility model is shown, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, one end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 is sleeved on the outside of the first adjusting connecting rod 112, and the other end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 is sleeved on the outside of the second adjusting connecting rod 113.
[0044] from Figure 4 It can be seen that both the end of the first adjusting connecting rod 112 near the adjusting member 111 and the end of the second adjusting connecting rod 113 near the adjusting member 111 have external threads, that is, the first thread and the third thread mentioned above are both external threads. Here, the first thread and the third thread can be the same or different, depending on actual needs, and this utility model does not make a specific limitation in this regard. The end of the first adjusting connecting rod 112 near the adjusting member 111 and the end of the second adjusting connecting rod 113 near the adjusting member 111 can be hollow or solid structures, depending on actual needs, and this utility model does not make a specific limitation in this regard.
[0045] The adjusting member 111 can be a hollow structure. The thread (i.e., the second thread) at the end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 is an internal thread that matches the first thread. The thread (i.e., the fourth thread) at the end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 is an internal thread that matches the third thread.
[0046] For example, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of another distance adjustment component provided by this utility model is shown, such as... Figure 5 As shown, one end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 is sleeved on the outside of the first adjusting connecting rod 112, and the other end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 is sleeved on the inside of the second adjusting connecting rod 113.
[0047] from Figure 5 It can be seen that the outer side of the first adjusting connecting rod 112 near the adjusting member 111 has an external thread, that is, the first thread mentioned above is an external thread; the inner side of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 has an internal thread that matches the first thread, that is, the second thread is an internal thread.
[0048] The second adjusting connecting rod 113 has an internal thread at the end near the adjusting member 111, that is, the third thread mentioned above is an internal thread; the thread at the end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 is an external thread that matches the third thread, that is, the fourth thread is an external thread.
[0049] Here, the end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 can be a hollow structure; the end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 can be a hollow structure or a solid structure, depending on actual needs. This utility model does not make specific limitations in this regard.
[0050] For example, one end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 is sleeved inside the first adjusting connecting rod 112, and the other end of the adjusting member 111 near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 is sleeved outside the second adjusting connecting rod 113.
[0051] The first adjusting connecting rod 112 has an internal thread at the end near the adjusting member 111, that is, the first thread mentioned above is an internal thread; the thread at the end of the adjusting member 111 near the first adjusting connecting rod 112 is an external thread that matches the first thread, that is, the second thread is an external thread.
[0052] The second adjusting connecting rod 113 has an external thread on the outside of the end near the adjusting member 111, that is, the third thread mentioned above is an external thread; the adjusting member 111 has an internal thread on the inside of the end near the second adjusting connecting rod 113 that is compatible with the third thread, that is, the fourth thread is an internal thread.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first train connector 120 is hinged to the rear of the preceding equipment train 200, and the second train connector 130 is hinged to the front of the following equipment train 300.
[0054] Here, the first train connector 120 can be hinged to the rear of the preceding equipment train 200, making the connection between the first train connector 120 and the preceding equipment train 200 movable; the second train connector 130 can be hinged to the front of the following equipment train 300, making the connection between the second train connector 130 and the following equipment train 300 movable. This connection method allows the equipment train alignment device to adapt to the straight-line and curved travel of the equipment train, reducing the possibility of deviation.
