[0002] In the railway transportation system, the train traction device is the main equipment used on railways to pull trains awaiting loading. It typically uses multiple steel wire ropes to complete the traction operation. Due to the long traction distance, the steel wire ropes are usually laid above the road surface to ensure smooth traction. However, while existing loading towers can generally handle both train and truck loading, the limitation of the train traction device's steel wire ropes on the ground makes it difficult for trucks to pass through the traction area. This prevents the loading tower from fully utilizing its advantages for truck loading, significantly reducing its operational capacity.

[0003] In today's world, where there is an increasing pursuit of efficient and diversified transportation, this drawback has become more and more prominent, greatly limiting the ability of loading terminals to adapt to different transportation scenarios, and urgently needs to be solved through technological improvements.

[0017] Figure 2 This is a side view of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, 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.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-2 A train traction device applied to integral track beds, specifically designed for train traction operations on integral track beds. It features a rational overall structural layout and clearly defined functions. Its core component consists of several key parts that work together to achieve efficient and safe train traction. Specifically:

[0020] The device includes several traction troughs 1 set below the ground at the integrated track bed of the loading tower. One side of the traction trough 1 is designated as the power side 7, and the other side is designated as the traction side 8 for cooperating with the train. The power side 7 is the power source area of ​​the device, while the traction side 8 directly cooperates with the train and is the key area for the traction steel wire rope 4 to exert its traction function. This partitioning makes the functional division of the device clearer and facilitates the installation, maintenance and management of the equipment. The design of the traction troughs 1 allows the entire device to be located below the ground, which facilitates subsequent vehicle operations without affecting them. Preferably, there are two traction troughs 1, with a traction gap between the two traction troughs 1 for cooperating with the train. This double traction trough 1 design can increase the stability and reliability of traction. By applying traction force to the train at two traction points simultaneously, it reduces the potential imbalance and swaying during traction. The traction gap provides sufficient space for the connection part of the train, ensuring that the train can be smoothly connected to the traction device and can move freely during traction.

[0021] A wire rope drum 2 and a power device 3 for driving the wire rope drum 2 to rotate are installed in the traction groove 1 on the power side 7. A traction wire rope 4 is wound on the wire rope drum 2. One end of the traction wire rope 4 is fixedly connected to the wire rope drum 2, and the other end of the traction wire rope 4 is fixedly connected to a traction hook 6 for cooperating with the train. The wire rope drum 2 is one of the core components of the device. Its function is to wind and release the traction wire rope 4. It achieves traction and braking of the train through its own rotation. The diameter, length and other parameters of the wire rope drum 2 are designed according to the magnitude of the traction force and the length of the traction wire rope 4 to ensure that it can withstand sufficient tension and ensure the smoothness of the wire rope in the winding and releasing process.

[0022] The power device 3 is a geared motor. The motor shaft of the geared motor is connected to the drum shaft of the wire rope drum 2 via a coupling. The geared motor has advantages such as large output torque and adjustable speed, and can provide stable and reliable power to the wire rope drum 2. The use of the coupling effectively transmits the power of the motor, while compensating for installation errors between the motor shaft and the drum shaft, reducing vibration and noise, and improving transmission efficiency.

[0023] The material, diameter, and other parameters of the traction wire rope 4 are selected according to the magnitude of the traction force and the requirements of the working environment to ensure that it has sufficient strength and wear resistance; the design of the traction hook 6 facilitates a quick and reliable connection with the train connection part, and can withstand a large tensile force during traction without deformation or breakage.

[0024] To better cooperate with the traction wire rope 4, several traction rollers 5 are also installed in the traction groove 1 near the power side 7 to cooperate with the traction wire rope 4. The traction rollers 5 are used to support and guide the traction wire rope 4, reduce the friction between the wire rope and the traction groove 1, and extend the service life of the wire rope. The length and diameter of the traction rollers 5 are designed according to the diameter of the traction wire rope 4 and the size of the traction groove 1. Preferably, 3-5 traction rollers 5 are provided in each traction groove 1.

[0025] The device also includes several upper cover plates 9 for covering the traction groove 1 at the wire rope drum 2 and the traction idler roller 5. The function of the upper cover plates 9 is to protect the equipment in the traction groove 1 and prevent debris from entering the traction groove 1 and affecting the normal operation of the equipment. At the same time, the upper cover plates 9 can also improve the safety of the device and prevent personnel from accidentally coming into contact with the equipment in the traction groove 1 and causing danger. The upper cover plates 9 are generally made of steel and have a certain strength.

[0026] In actual use, the length of the traction roller 5 is no more than 240mm, the width of the traction groove 1 at the traction roller 5 is no more than 350mm, and the width of the traction groove 1, except for the wire rope drum 2 and the traction groove 1 at the traction roller 5, is no more than 200mm. This size design ensures that the traction roller 5 can be installed and operated normally, and does not make the traction groove 1 too wide, thus saving underground space. At the same time, the reasonable size can also not affect the passage of vehicles and facilitate vehicle loading operations.

[0027] This device cleverly utilizes the underground space of the loading tower's track bed, using a traction trough 1 set below ground to accommodate and guide the traction steel wire rope 4 and related equipment, effectively solving the problem of steel wire rope occupying ground space in traditional traction methods.

[0028] The working principle of the train traction device applied to integral track bed provided in this application is as follows:

[0029] When a train needs to be towed, the towing hook 6 is first hooked onto the train, and then the power equipment 3 (gear motor) is started. The wire rope drum 2 is driven to rotate through the coupling. The rotation of the wire rope drum 2 causes the traction wire rope 4 to gradually wind around the drum, thereby generating tension. The tension is transmitted to the train through the towing hook 6 to achieve train traction.

[0030] During traction, the traction roller 5 supports and guides the traction wire rope 4, reducing friction and ensuring smooth operation of the wire rope. When it is necessary to stop traction or brake the train, the reduction motor stops rotating, the wire rope drum 2 stops rotating, the tension of the traction wire rope 4 disappears, and the train stops moving under the action of its own braking system or other external forces.

[0031] The advantage of this application is that by setting the traction trough 1 below the ground, the underground space of the entire track bed of the loading tower is fully utilized, the steel wire rope avoids occupying the ground space, and the loading tower can switch more smoothly between train loading and truck loading operations, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the operation.
