Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of overhead contact line maintenance technology, and in particular to an overhead contact line maintenance vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] A catenary work vehicle is a special vehicle designed specifically for the installation, maintenance, and inspection of catenary systems on electrified railways. It is usually equipped with a lifting platform adapted for high-altitude operations, so that workers and equipment can be raised to the height of the catenary to carry out related work.
[0003] In practical use, it has been found that in the process of overhauling the overhead contact line, the identification of minor defects such as bolt tightness, wire wear, and component misalignment still mainly relies on manual visual inspection to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the judgment.
[0004] However, because workers need to look up at the overhead contact line for a long time during inspections, neck fatigue can easily affect their concentration. In addition, they need to move around regularly to relieve fatigue, which leads to the risk of missing inspections during the process. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0029] Because workers need to look up at the overhead contact line for a long time during inspections, neck fatigue can easily affect their concentration. In addition, they need to move around regularly to relieve fatigue, which leads to the risk of missing inspections during the process.
[0030] In view of this, this solution provides a work vehicle for overhead contact lines, including an auxiliary observation mechanism 100 and a lifting platform.
[0031] The following combination Figures 1-5 The structure and shape of the overhead contact line maintenance vehicle are described in detail:
[0032] The auxiliary observation mechanism 100 includes a lifting structure 110 and an angle-adjusting push rod 120. The lifting structure 110 is hinged to the lifting platform and is used to support maintenance personnel. The angle-adjusting push rod 120 is hinged to the lifting platform, and its telescopic end is hinged to the lifting structure 110. The angle-adjusting push rod 120 can extend or retract to drive the lifting structure 110 to rotate relative to the lifting platform, thereby adjusting the observation angle of the maintenance personnel on the lifting structure 110.
[0033] In this embodiment, the angle adjustment push rod 120 extends to drive the lifting structure 110 to rotate relative to the lifting platform, thereby causing the maintenance personnel on the lifting structure 110 to stand at an angle. This allows the maintenance personnel to observe the contact network from below without looking up. Observing from below, compared to observing at eye level, places the lifting structure 110 below the contact network, thus preventing the contact network maintenance vehicle from colliding with the contact network.
[0034] In addition, when it is necessary to adjust the observation distance between maintenance personnel and the overhead contact line, the angle adjustment push rod 120 extends or retracts to drive the lifting structure 110 to rotate relative to the lifting platform, thereby adjusting the observation angle of the maintenance personnel on the lifting structure 110 and thus adjusting the observation distance between the maintenance personnel and the overhead contact line.
[0035] In order to allow maintenance personnel to flexibly observe different positions on the overhead contact line:
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a rotary mechanism 200; the rotary mechanism 200 includes a base 210 and a rotary disk 220; the base 210 is mounted on the lifting platform; the lifting structure 110 and the angle adjustment push rod 120 are both hinged to the rotary disk 220; the rotary disk 220 is rotatably inserted into the base 210 and can rotate around its own axis to drive the auxiliary observation mechanism 100 to rotate around the axis of the rotary disk 220.
[0037] In this embodiment, the turntable 220 rotates around its own axis to drive the auxiliary observation mechanism 100 to rotate relative to the lifting platform, thereby adjusting the direction of the maintenance personnel on the lifting structure 110 toward the contact wire, and thus adjusting the position of the maintenance personnel on the contact wire for observation.
[0038] To improve the comprehensiveness of the overhead contact line observation by maintenance personnel, and to enhance the convenience of the overhead contact line maintenance process:
[0039] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the overhead contact line maintenance vehicle has an inspection mode and a maintenance mode. In the inspection mode, the slewing mechanism 200 drives the auxiliary observation mechanism 100 to swing back and forth in the horizontal direction with the overhead contact line as the center line, which is used to inspect both sides of the overhead contact line. In the maintenance mode, the slewing mechanism 200 drives the auxiliary observation mechanism 100 to rotate, so that the lifting structure 110 moves to one side of the overhead contact line. Then, the angle adjustment push rod 120 drives the lifting structure 110 to approach the overhead contact line.
[0040] In this embodiment, during the inspection mode, the rotary mechanism 200 drives the auxiliary observation mechanism 100 to swing back and forth in the horizontal direction with the contact wire as the center line, so that the observation direction of the maintenance personnel moves in the order of left / right, bottom and right / left, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the contact wire observation by the maintenance personnel.
[0041] When in maintenance mode, the slewing mechanism 200 drives the auxiliary observation mechanism 100 to rotate, so that the lifting structure 110 moves to one side of the contact network. Then, the angle adjustment push rod 120 drives the lifting structure 110 closer to the contact network, so that maintenance personnel can perform maintenance work on the side of the contact network, thereby enhancing the convenience of the contact network maintenance process.
[0042] In order to adjust the observation distance between the maintenance personnel and the overhead contact line while ensuring the observation angle of the maintenance personnel, the height of the maintenance personnel will also be adjusted during the maintenance process:
[0043] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the auxiliary observation mechanism 100 also includes a support frame 130 and a lifting push rod 140; the lifting push rod 140 is connected to the support frame 130, and its telescopic end is connected to the lifting structure 110, which is used to drive the lifting structure 110 to move along its own length direction.
[0044] In this embodiment, during the inspection mode, the lifting push rod 140 drives the lifting structure 110 to move along the length of the lifting structure 110, so as to adjust the observation distance between the maintenance personnel and the contact wire while ensuring the observation angle of the maintenance personnel.
[0045] When in maintenance mode, the lifting push rod 140 drives the lifting structure 110 to move along the length of the lifting structure 110 to adjust the height of the maintenance personnel located on the side of the overhead contact line.
[0046] To enable the lifting structure 110 to provide support for maintenance personnel:
[0047] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the lifting structure 110 includes a foot pedal 111 and a backrest 112; the foot pedal 111 is connected to the telescopic end of the lifting push rod 140 and is used to provide a stepping position for maintenance personnel; the backrest 112 is connected to the foot pedal 111 and is used to provide a leaning position for maintenance personnel.
[0048] To improve the comfort of personnel inside the lifting structure 110 during maintenance:
[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting structure 110 also includes a buffer pad 115; the buffer pad 115 is connected to the backrest 112 and is used to reduce the hardness of the contact surface between the backrest 112 and the maintenance personnel.
[0050] In this embodiment, when the maintenance personnel move toward the lifting structure 110, the slewing mechanism 200 drives the lifting structure 110 to move above the lifting platform. Then, the angle adjustment push rod 120 drives the lifting structure 110 to rotate toward the lifting platform. After the lifting structure 110 moves to the set position, the maintenance personnel lie down on the backrest 112 and step on the pedal 111 with their feet, thereby moving the maintenance personnel to the lifting structure 110.
[0051] When maintenance personnel enter the lifting structure 110, the foot pedal 111 and the backrest 112 provide support for the maintenance personnel's feet and back respectively. During this process, the buffer pad 115 absorbs the impact force transmitted to the maintenance personnel by reducing the hardness of the contact surface between the backrest 112 and the maintenance personnel through elastic deformation.
[0052] To improve the stability of the lifting structure 110 during its movement along its own length:
[0053] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the support frame 130 includes a guide tube 131; the pedal 111 is fitted onto the guide tube 131 and is slidably connected to the guide tube 131; the support structure 110 also includes an extension rod 113; one end of the extension rod 113 is connected to the backrest 112, and the other end is slidably inserted into the guide tube 131, which is used to provide support to the backrest 112 while reducing the length of the guide tube 131.
[0054] More specifically regarding the shape and structure of the load-bearing frame 130:
[0055] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the supporting frame 130 also includes a base plate 132 and an intermediate plate 133; the end of the guide tube 131 away from the extension rod 113 is connected to the base plate 132; the intermediate plate 133 is fitted onto the guide tube 131 and is connected to the lifting push rod 140.
[0056] In this embodiment, the lifting push rod 140 drives the pedal 111 to move along the length of the guide tube 131. During this process, the guide tube 131 transmits and reduces the deflection stress on the pedal 111. The pedal 111 drives the extension rod 113 to move along the guide tube 131 through the backrest 112. During this process, the guide tube 131 and the extension rod 113 cooperate to transmit and reduce the deflection stress on the backrest 112, thereby providing support at both ends of the lifting structure 110.
[0057] To improve the safety of maintenance personnel:
[0058] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the lifting structure 110 also includes a protective ring 114; the protective ring 114 is detachably installed on the backrest 112 to prevent maintenance personnel from accidentally detaching from the lifting structure 110.
[0059] To allow the protective ring 114 to be detachably mounted on the backrest 112:
[0060] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the protective ring 114 includes a first protective rod, a second protective rod, and a locking pin; one end of the first protective rod is slidably inserted into the backrest 112, and the other end is slidably inserted into the second protective rod; the end of the second protective rod away from the first protective rod is slidably inserted into the backrest 112; the locking pin is slidably inserted into the first and second protective rods, and is located at the insertion position of the first and second protective rods.
[0061] In this embodiment, the protective ring 114 and the backrest 112 form a protective space, in which maintenance personnel are located to prevent them from accidentally separating from the lifting structure 110, thereby improving the safety of maintenance personnel.
[0062] To achieve rotation of rotary table 220 around its own axis:
[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the rotary mechanism 200 also includes a fixed gear ring 230, a drive motor 240, and a drive gear 250; the fixed gear ring 230 is fitted onto the base 210; the drive motor 240 is connected to the rotary disk 220, and its rotation shaft is connected to the drive gear 250; the drive gear 250 meshes with the fixed gear ring 230.
[0064] To improve the stability of rotary table 220 during rotation:
[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, the rotary mechanism 200 also includes a driven gear 260; the driven gear 260 is inserted into the rotary disk 220 and rotatably connected to the rotary disk 220; the driven gear 260 meshes with the fixed gear ring 230 and is used to share the load borne by the drive gear 250.
[0066] In this embodiment, the drive motor 240 drives the drive gear 250 to rotate around its own axis. The drive gear 250 meshes with the fixed gear ring 230 to drive the rotary disk 220 to rotate around its own axis. The rotary disk 220 drives the driven gear 260 to rotate around the axis of the rotary disk 220. The driven gear 260 meshes with the fixed gear ring 230 to rotate around its own axis. During this process, the driven gear 260 shares the load borne by the drive gear 250, thereby improving the stability of the rotary disk 220 during rotation.
