AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing shock-absorbing components of the rubber buffers of the train couplers lack friction interfaces, which prevents them from consuming additional energy through interlayer micro-slip friction.

Method used

A shock-absorbing component comprising multiple rubber blocks and honeycomb engineering plastic partitions was designed. By setting a friction energy dissipation ring with relative sliding friction between the rubber blocks and the honeycomb engineering plastic partitions, the friction interface is increased and the impact kinetic energy is converted into frictional heat, thereby improving energy dissipation efficiency.

Benefits of technology

By increasing the friction interface and sliding friction, stress is evenly distributed, significantly improving the energy consumption efficiency, reducing stress concentration, and improving the overall energy consumption efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rubber buffers for EMU couplers, specifically a shock-absorbing component for a rubber buffer for EMU couplers. Background Technology

[0002] The rubber buffer of the train coupler is one of the core components of the coupler buffer system. Mainly installed at the rear of the coupler, it plays a crucial role in absorbing and dissipating the longitudinal impact energy generated during train operation, especially during connection and braking. It is essential for ensuring train stability, passenger comfort, protecting the car body structure, and extending vehicle life. The shock absorption component is a vital part of the rubber buffer of the train coupler.

[0003] The existing damping components of rubber buffers for EMU couplers lack a friction interface during use, making it impossible to dissipate additional energy through interlayer micro-slip friction. This also leads to uneven stress distribution and stress concentration. Furthermore, it cannot convert some impact kinetic energy into frictional heat dissipation, resulting in low overall energy dissipation efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a damping component of rubber buffers for EMU couplers to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shock-absorbing component for a rubber buffer of a train coupler, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The existing shock-absorbing components of the rubber buffer of the train coupler lack a friction interface during use, and cannot consume additional energy through interlayer micro-slip friction. At the same time, it leads to uneven stress distribution and stress concentration. Furthermore, it cannot convert some of the impact kinetic energy into frictional heat dissipation, resulting in low overall energy consumption efficiency.

[0006] A shock-absorbing component for a rubber buffer in a train coupler includes a housing. An upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate are connected to the top and bottom of the housing, respectively. Multiple rubber blocks are arranged inside the housing at equal intervals along a vertical direction. Mounting holes are provided at both ends of the upper and lower mounting plates. Multiple honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions are alternately arranged between the rubber blocks. Connecting posts are inserted at both ends of the upper mounting plate, housing, rubber blocks, and honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions. The lowest end of each connecting post is threaded to the lower mounting plate. A mounting post is inserted near the middle of the housing and upper mounting plate, with its lower end connected to the top of the uppermost rubber block. Friction energy-dissipating rings are fitted around the outer sides of the rubber blocks and honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions. External threads are provided circumferentially at the upper ends of the mounting posts and the upper and lower ends of the connecting posts. A locking nut is threaded to the upper end of the connecting posts. Several heat dissipation holes are provided on the sidewalls of the housing.

[0013] 1. This utility model increases the friction interface by setting multiple honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions, which consumes additional energy through interlayer micro-slip friction, while guiding a more uniform stress distribution and reducing stress concentration.

[0014] 2.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-2 A shock-absorbing component for a rubber buffer in a train coupler includes a housing 1.

Multiple rubber blocks 7 are disposed inside the housing 1, spaced equally vertically. Mounting holes 12 are provided at both ends of the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 3. Multiple honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions 8 are alternately arranged between the rubber blocks 7. The upper mounting plate 2, the housing 1, the rubber blocks 7, and the honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions 8 are all... A connecting post 5 is inserted, and the lowest end of the connecting post 5 is threadedly connected to the lower mounting plate 3. A mounting post 9 is inserted near the middle of the outer shell 1 and the upper mounting plate 2. The lower end of the mounting post 9 is connected to the top of the uppermost rubber block 7. A friction energy dissipation ring 10 is fitted on the outer side of the rubber block 7 and the honeycomb engineering plastic partition 8. External threads 11 are provided circumferentially on the upper end of the mounting post 9 and the upper and lower ends of the connecting post 5. A locking nut 6 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the connecting post 5. Several heat dissipation holes 4 are opened on the side wall of the outer shell 1.

[0021] Among them, the honeycomb engineering plastic partition 8 is made of nylon, the friction energy dissipation ring 10 is made of powder metallurgy friction products, the rubber block 7 and the honeycomb engineering plastic partition 8 are not connected and allow slight sliding.

[0022] The number of rubber blocks 7 is set to six.

[0023] The number of honeycomb engineering plastic partitions 8 is set to five.

[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, during operation, the two mounting posts 9 are connected to the coupler. When the two mounting posts 9 are impacted, the multiple honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions 8 increase the friction interface. Extra energy is consumed through interlayer micro-slip friction, while guiding the stress distribution to be more uniform and reducing stress concentration. At the same time, the friction energy dissipation ring 10 is set up. During the buffering and shock absorption process, the friction energy dissipation ring 10 has relative sliding friction with the rubber block 7 and the honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions 8, thereby converting part of the impact kinetic energy into frictional heat dissipation, significantly improving the overall energy dissipation efficiency. At this time, the rubber block 7 and the honeycomb-shaped engineering plastic partitions 8 slide up and down along the two connecting posts 5.
