Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rail transit technology, and specifically to an opening and closing mechanism and a rail vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] As a component of the dynamic head shape of the EMU, the front opening and closing mechanism of the high-speed train is in a closed and locked state when the train is running alone, so that the high-speed train can form a complete aerodynamic shape, reduce wind resistance and wind noise during operation, and keep the train in a stable state at high speed. When multiple trains need to be coupled, the fairing needs to be in an open and locked position so that the couplers can be fully and unobstructedly coupled and can adapt to the influence of the coupler sway angle when running on different curve radii.
[0003] The fairing opening and closing motion control mechanism is used to control the opening and closing of the fairing. Since anti-climb devices or other devices are often installed at the front of the train, the space is relatively compact. During the opening and closing process, the opening and closing mechanism must avoid anti-climb devices and other internal components. It is necessary to control the movement trajectory of the fairing hatch to avoid interference with the front components of the vehicle.
[0004] In existing technologies, the opening and closing mechanism includes a rotating arm, and the opening and closing of the fairing is controlled by driving the rotating arm. This driving structure carries the risk that the fairing's movement trajectory cannot be fully controlled. In some scenarios, the fairing may interfere with other vehicle components during its movement, causing the fairing to fail to open properly or damage to other components. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems by providing an opening and closing mechanism and a rail vehicle.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application provides an opening and closing mechanism, the technical solution of which is that the opening and closing mechanism includes:
[0007] fairing;
[0008] Base;
[0009] Rotating arm mechanism: one end is axially connected to the base, and the other end is connected to the air guide cover;
[0010] Travel rail: mounted on the base, the travel rail includes a track groove;
[0011] The rotating arm mechanism is equipped with rollers, which are located in the track groove, and the outer peripheral wall of the rollers contacts the side wall of the track groove. The rotating arm mechanism rotates around the base, and the rollers roll in the track groove to control the guide fairing to open and close according to the trajectory defined by the travel rail.
[0012] In this embodiment, the traveling rail is designed as a track groove, and the traveling component is designed as a roller. The track groove can be a U-shaped groove or a V-shaped groove. The track groove can completely "retract" the roller inside the groove, which can improve the reliability of motion trajectory precision control. Using rollers as the moving component can reduce the friction between the traveling component and the track groove, improve its stability of movement within the track groove, and prevent dust and other impurities in the vehicle operating environment from accumulating in the track groove and affecting the normal operation of the opening and closing mechanism.
[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, one possible implementation of the first aspect further includes a wheel axle, one end of which is connected to the swivel arm mechanism, and the roller is mounted on the opposite end of the wheel axle connected to the swivel arm mechanism.
[0014] In this embodiment, the axle facilitates the installation between the roller and the rotating arm.
[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation of the first aspect, the wheel axle includes an external thread, the rotating arm mechanism is provided with a threaded hole, and the wheel axle is threadedly connected to the corresponding rotating arm.
[0016] In this embodiment, the wheel axle and the rotating arm are threaded together, which facilitates their installation and adjustment of their relative positions.
[0017] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation of the first aspect, an adjusting nut is installed on the axle, the adjusting nut being located on the outer wall of the axle between the rotating arm and the track groove.
[0018] In this embodiment, the adjusting nut enables reliable fixing of the axle and allows for height adjustment of the axle. Height adjustment ensures that the friction wheel maintains contact with the bottom of the track groove.
[0019] In conjunction with the first aspect, one possible implementation of the first aspect further includes a friction wheel, which is mounted on a wheel axle and at the same end as the roller, with the friction wheel positioned relative to the roller near the bottom of the track groove.
[0020] In this embodiment, the friction wheel is located at the bottom of the axle and directly contacts the bottom of the track groove. The friction wheel can be made of wear-resistant material. On the one hand, the friction wheel can effectively provide gravity support for the fairing door, resulting in high overall structural stability; on the other hand, the friction wheel can also reduce the direct friction between the traveling structure and the track groove, improving the reliability of the structure.
[0021] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation of the first aspect, a first limiting member and a second limiting member are provided at intervals on the traveling rail, and the roller is located in the track groove area between the first limiting member and the second limiting member, wherein the first limiting member and the second limiting member are used to limit the range of motion of the roller.
[0022] In this embodiment, the movement range of the roller is limited by a limiting member to prevent the roller from coming out of the track groove.
[0023] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation of the first aspect, the rotating arm mechanism includes a front rotating arm and an end rotating arm, wherein the front rotating arm is axially connected to the base, the front rotating arm is axially connected to the end rotating arm, the end rotating arm is connected to the flow guide, and the roller is disposed on the end rotating arm.
[0024] In this embodiment, a two-section swing arm and a traveling rail are designed. Through the linkage of the two swing arms, the swing arm cooperating with the traveling rail can travel along the trajectory defined by the traveling rail. Due to the limited space at the front of the vehicle, the two-section swing arm structure can reduce the complexity of the fairing opening and closing structure, and solve the problem of fairing opening and closing motion trajectory control with the fewest possible sets of swing arms.
[0025] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation of the first aspect, the fairing includes a first fairing and a second fairing, and the rotating arm mechanism includes a first side rotating arm assembly and a second side rotating arm assembly, wherein the first side rotating arm assembly is connected to the first fairing and the second side rotating arm assembly is connected to the second fairing.
[0026] The travel rail includes a first side travel rail and a second side travel rail, the first side swing arm assembly is connected to the first side travel rail, and the second side swing arm assembly is connected to the second side travel rail;
[0027] The gap between the first and second side travel rails gradually increases from the side closer to the fairing to the side farther away from the fairing.
[0028] In this embodiment, a track arrangement structure is designed for the dual-sided fairing structure. By designing the gap between the two track rails, the arc angle of the opening trajectory of the fairing on both sides gradually increases as it opens along the track defined by the track, thus avoiding motion interference with vehicle components.
[0029] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation of the first aspect, the travel track is a straight track or a curved track.
[0030] In this embodiment, straight rails and curved rails are considered to facilitate the movement of the rollers.
[0031] In conjunction with the first aspect, one possible implementation of the first aspect further includes a power drive unit connected to the swing arm mechanism to drive the swing arm mechanism to move.
[0032] In this embodiment, the power drive unit can realize the automatic opening and closing adjustment of the opening and closing mechanism, solving the problem of inconvenience of manual operation adjustment.
[0033] The second aspect of this application provides a rail vehicle, including the opening and closing mechanism provided in the first aspect of this application.

[0057] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0058] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0059] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0060] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0061] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
[0062] like Figures 1 to 2 The diagram shows the structure of the opening and closing mechanism. The main frame 1 is used to assemble the entire opening and closing mechanism onto the vehicle; the base 2 is mounted on the main frame 1 and serves as the supporting component for the opening and closing mechanism's drive unit. A first fairing 301 and a second fairing 302 are symmetrically installed in the opening area at the front end of the main frame 1. A rotating arm unit mounted on the base drives the opening and closing of the two fairings. The rear end of the main frame 1 can be assembled onto the vehicle. When the two fairings are driven to open relative to each other towards the sides of the vehicle, the opening area at the front end of the main frame 1 is open, enabling actions such as coupling. Anti-climb devices 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the internal frame space of the main frame 1 to absorb collision energy and ensure vehicle safety in the event of a collision.
[0063] Since the anti-climb device occupies the front space of the rail vehicle, if the movement trajectory of the fairing cannot be controlled, there is a risk of movement interference with the front of the anti-climb device when the fairing opens to both sides.
[0064] The movement trajectory of the fairing can be controlled by increasing the number of drive cylinders and using different drive cylinders to drive different rotating arm trajectories. This results in a more complex mechanical structure and automatic control principle for the opening and closing mechanism, leading to higher costs and reduced reliability.
[0065] By designing travel tracks, the movement trajectory of components can be restricted. Travel tracks come in various forms, including:
[0066] Slider-guide rail combination: High-precision linear motion is achieved by a precision slider rolling or sliding on a linear guide rail;
[0067] Track groove type: Utilizes V-shaped, U-shaped, or T-shaped grooves to cooperate with guide wheels / slippers;
[0068] Roller guide: Rollers roll along open or closed tracks to restrict the movement trajectory.
[0069] Adding a travel rail component to the opening and closing mechanism can guide its movement trajectory. Since vehicles operate in open environments, they are easily affected by various weather conditions such as wind, rain, and snow. If a reasonable guide rail structure is not designed, it will not be able to provide stable guidance for the movement of the opening and closing mechanism.
[0070] To address the above problems, the first embodiment of this application provides an opening and closing mechanism.
[0071] refer to Figures 1 to 6 Similar to existing technologies, the opening and closing mechanism includes: a main frame 1, a fairing, and a base 2. In some embodiments, the fairing also includes a first fairing 301 and a second fairing 302.
[0072] The rotating arm mechanism is used to drive the opening and closing of the fairing. One end of the rotating arm mechanism is connected to the base 2 shaft, and the other end is connected to the fairing.
[0073] The travel rail 5 is mounted on the base 2. The rotating arm mechanism cooperates with the travel rail 5 to control the opening and closing trajectory of the fairing. Specifically, a travel rail cooperation structure is set on the rotating arm mechanism. This travel rail cooperation structure is installed in conjunction with the travel rail 5 so that the travel rail 5 can function to limit the running trajectory of the rotating arm mechanism, thereby limiting the opening and closing trajectory of the fairing.
[0074] It should be understood that the direction of the travel rail 5 can be designed according to the configuration and installation of the front-end components of the vehicle body. Through the cooperation structure of the aforementioned swing arm and travel rail 5, this application can realize the control of the opening and closing trajectory of the dual fairings and avoid motion interference between the fairings and the front-end components of the vehicle body.
[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the structure of the walking rail 5 is further designed as follows.
[0076] In this embodiment, the traveling rail 5 is a groove-type traveling rail, which includes a track groove 501, and the traveling rail mating structure is disposed within the track groove 501. The track groove 501 can be a U-shaped groove or a V-shaped groove. In order to enable the traveling rail mating structure to move more stably, the track groove 501 is preferably a U-shaped groove. The track groove 501 completely "retains" the traveling rail mating structure (such as a slider, roller, or hinged support) inside the groove, resulting in high motion stability of the traveling rail mating structure and improving the reliability of motion trajectory precision control.
[0077] To facilitate engagement with the U-shaped track groove 501, the traveling rail engagement structure includes a roller 9 and an axle 10. The roller 9 is disposed within the track groove 501, with its outer peripheral wall contacting the side wall of the track groove 501. During the movement of the rotating arm mechanism, the roller 9 moves along the track groove 501, its outer peripheral wall contacting the side wall of the track groove 501. The roller 9 is connected to the rotating arm via the axle 10. Specifically, one end of the axle 10 is connected to the corresponding end rotating arm 7, and the roller 9 is mounted on the opposite end of the axle 10 and the rotating arm connection end. It should be understood that a mounting structure capable of relative rotation is formed between the roller 9 and the axle 10; for example, they can be connected via bearings.
[0078] Compared to the sliding block and slide rail combination structure, the combination structure of roller 9 and track groove 501 can form a more stable walking combination structure. When dust and other impurities fall into the walking rail, it is not easy for the walking to get stuck, which can improve the reliability of the opening and closing control of the guide fairing.
[0079] Since friction is generated between the roller 9 and the travel rail 5, the roller 9 is preferably made of a material with a low coefficient of friction to achieve high wear resistance, low coefficient of friction and impact resistance, thereby effectively reducing wear and extending service life.
[0080] If the bottom of roller 9 directly contacts the bottom of the travel rail 5, the bottom of roller 9 will still be prone to wear because the movement between the bottom of roller 9 and the travel rail 6 is a relative movement within a plane. To solve this problem, the travel rail mating structure also includes a friction wheel 11. (Reference) Figure 6 The friction wheel 11 is mounted on the axle 10 and is mounted at the same end as the roller 9. The friction wheel 11 is close to the bottom of the track groove relative to the roller.
[0081] To improve wear resistance, the friction wheel 11 is preferably made of a highly wear-resistant material. When the roller 9 moves along the track groove, the friction wheel 11 contacts the bottom of the track groove, avoiding direct contact between the roller 9 and the bottom of the groove, thus preventing friction damage.
[0082] In addition to its wear-resistant properties, the friction wheel 11 also provides support for the mounting structure between the roller 9, the axle 10, and the rotating arm, thereby supporting the gravity of the fairing and ensuring the stable operation of the opening and closing mechanism.
[0083] For example, the roller 9, the friction wheel 11 and the axle 10 are preferably installed with a threaded connection, which facilitates replacement in case the roller 9 or the friction wheel 11 is damaged.
[0084] In some embodiments of this application, to solve the installation problem between the axle 10 and the shaft, a threaded hole is provided in the part where the rotating arm and the axle 10 are installed. The axle 10 includes an external thread, and the axle 10 passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding rotating arm. The threaded connection facilitates the adjustment of the extension length of the axle 10 relative to the rotating arm, thereby enabling the adjustment of the position of the friction wheel 11 and ensuring that the friction wheel 11 can contact the bottom of the track groove.
[0085] Furthermore, an adjusting nut 12 is installed on the axle 10, located on the outer wall of the axle 10 between the rotating arm and the track groove 501. The adjusting nut 12 is used to assist in fixing the connection position between the axle 10 and the rotating arm, and can realize the height adjustment of the axle. Through height adjustment, it can be ensured that the friction wheel 11 is in contact with the bottom of the track groove 501.
[0086] To ensure the reliability of the movement of roller 9, limiting components can be spaced apart along the length of the travel rail 5. Roller 9 is located within the space between the limiting components and reciprocates within this space. When roller 9 contacts a limiting component, its movement is restricted. This structure prevents the roller from detaching from the travel rail 5.
[0087] The travel rail 5 is preferably a straight rail or a curved rail. In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings of this application, the travel rail 5 is a straight rail. If the multiple travel rails 5 are curved rails, then the travel rails 5 on both sides are symmetrically arranged, forming an arc-shaped curved structure that curves outward relative to each other.
[0088] A swing arm mechanism may include one or more swing arm sections.
[0089] If the rotating arm is a single section, the rotating arm is axially connected to the base 2, and a roller 9 is installed on the rotating arm, with the roller 9 located in the track groove 501 of the traveling rail 5. The opening and closing of the fairing can be controlled by a single section of the rotating arm, but since the length and degree of freedom of operation of a single section of the rotating arm are limited, a multi-section rotating arm cooperative structure is further designed in this embodiment.
[0090] The swing arm mechanism comprises multiple swing arms connected in sequence, with the first swing arm shafted to the base 2, and any swing arm connected to the fairing. It should be understood that the multi-segment swing arm can have two, three, or more segments. The swing arms located at both ends of the multi-segment swing arm are defined as the first swing arm 6 and the last swing arm 7, and the one located between the first swing arm 6 and the last swing arm 7 is the intermediate swing arm 8.
[0091] In order to drive the first fairing 301 and the second fairing 302 symmetrically, the rotating arm mechanism includes two sets, which are symmetrically arranged on the base 2 and are used to drive the two fairings respectively.
[0092] Among them, in the multi-section swing arm, the swing arm of the end swing arm 7 is equipped with a travel rail mating structure: the travel rail mating structure is located inside the travel rail 5.
[0093] With the above structure, when the drive arm mechanism rotates, the drive arm mechanism will drive the fairing to open and close. Through the cooperation structure of the multi-section drive arm and the travel rail 5, the linkage of the multi-section drive arm and the drive arm cooperating with the travel rail can travel along the trajectory defined by the travel rail. Thus, the travel rail 5 plays a guiding role in the opening and closing path of the fairing.
[0094] In this embodiment, the travel rail 5 is a straight rail. It is arranged from the side near the fairing towards the rear end of the main frame 1. Furthermore, the gap between the two travel rails 5 near the fairing end is smaller than the gap between the two travel rails 5 near the main frame 1 end.
[0095] In practical applications, the position of the travel rail 5 can be configured according to the position of the vehicle's front-end components, and the shape of the travel rail can be adjusted according to the opening and closing rotation requirements of the opening and closing mechanism. By changing the position and shape of the travel rail, for example, a curved rail can be used, thus achieving trajectory control of the fairing. This structure improves the controllability of the fairing's movement trajectory in the opening and closing mechanism, avoids motion interference between the fairing and other vehicle body components during the opening and closing process, and thus ensures the reliability of the fairing's movement.
[0096] In some embodiments of this application, the swing arm mechanism consists of two swing arms, including a front swing arm 6 and a rear swing arm 7, with the front swing arm 6 and the rear swing arm 7 axially connected; the front swing arm 6 or the rear swing arm 7 is connected to the fairing, and a travel rail mating structure is installed on the rear swing arm 7: the travel rail mating structure is located within the travel rail 5. Figures 2 to 4 In the provided implementation structure, the end arm 7 is connected to a mounting base 15, and the mounting base 15 is fixedly installed to the guide fairing via fasteners.
[0097] It should be understood that the swing arm mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged front swing arms 6 and rear swing arms 7 on the base 2, with both front swing arms 6 axially connected to the base 2. In some embodiments, one rear swing arm 7 is connected to the first deflector 301, and the other rear swing arm 7 is connected to the second deflector 302. Both rear swing arms 7 are provided with a travel rail engaging structure, which is respectively arranged in the corresponding travel rail 5. In some embodiments, one front swing arm 6 is connected to the first deflector 301, and the other front swing arm 6 is connected to the second deflector 302. Both rear swing arms 7 are provided with a travel rail engaging structure, which is respectively arranged in the corresponding travel rail 5.
[0098] In some embodiments of this application, the swing arm mechanism may also be designed as a three-section swing arm. (See reference...) Figure 7 The swing arm mechanism includes a first swing arm 6, a middle swing arm 8, and a last swing arm 7 connected sequentially by shafts. The first swing arm 6 or the middle swing arm 8 is connected to the fairing, and the last swing arm is equipped with a travel rail mating structure: the travel rail mating structure is located within the travel rail 5. Compared with the two-section swing arm structure, the three-section swing arm structure increases the degree of freedom, accommodates more complex fairing surface shapes, and can achieve more flexible mating.
[0099] For example, two sets of three-section rotating arms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 2. The first rotating arm 6 or the middle rotating arm 8 on one side is connected to the first guide shroud 301, and the first rotating arm 6 or the middle rotating arm 8 on the other side is connected to the second guide shroud 302, which are used to control the opening and closing of the guide shrouds on both sides respectively.
[0100] In some embodiments of this application, the opening and closing mechanism further includes a power drive unit connected to the swing arm mechanism to drive the swing arm mechanism to move.
[0101] The force-driven unit enables automatic opening and closing adjustment of the opening and closing mechanism, solving the problem of inconvenience caused by manual operation. For example, the force-driven unit can be a cylinder 13. A cylinder mounting bracket is provided on the base 2, and the cylinder 13 is fixed to the base 2 via the cylinder mounting bracket. The cylinder is connected to the first-end rotating arm 6. When the cylinder rod extends, it drives the first-end rotating arm 6 to rotate, and the other rotating arms move in tandem, driving the deflector to open; when the cylinder rod retracts, the deflector closes. It should be understood that, for example, to drive a double-sided deflector, two sets of cylinders 13 can be symmetrically arranged on the base 2, each set of cylinders 13 connected to a set of rotating arm mechanisms for driving one side of the deflector.
[0102] It should be understood that the fairing can also be opened and closed manually if cylinder 13 is not installed.
[0103] In some embodiments of this application, the opening and closing mechanism further includes a locking mechanism 14. The locking mechanism 14 is used for locking the opening and closing mechanism in its open and closed states. The locking mechanism 14 is axially connected to the base 2, and one end is connected to the first end rotating arm 6. The internal structure of the locking mechanism 14 is prior art, and the cooperation structure between the locking mechanism 14 and the first end rotating arm 6 is also prior art. The embodiments of this application do not involve improvements to these two parts, and will not be described in detail.
[0104] The second aspect of this application provides a rail vehicle, including the opening and closing mechanism provided in the first aspect of this application. By using this opening and closing mechanism in a rail vehicle, the position of the motion guide rail and the shape of the track extension can be changed to allow the rail vehicle's fairing hatch to open or close along a specific trajectory, solving the problem of the opening and closing mechanism avoiding components of the anti-climb energy-absorbing device inside the vehicle.
[0105] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
