Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control cable technology, and in particular to a control cable device for a railway freight car release valve. Background Technology
[0002] The release valve is a component in the braking system of railway freight cars, typically installed in the lower middle part of the car's underframe. When the car needs to release, the operator pulls the release valve lever located in the middle of the side beam, which moves the release valve handle to release the air brake system. The main problem is that the release valve lever, made of bent round steel, is directly connected to the release valve handle, making it impossible to position the lever in the most convenient location for the operator. This is particularly difficult with the structurally unique railway vehicles where a straight-lever release valve lever is installed. Furthermore, the release valve lever in railway freight cars is generally located in the middle of the side beam, with the end rings of the levers on both sides of the car body connected to the end of the release valve handle by a pin. When one side's release valve lever is pulled, the other side's lever moves simultaneously. This interdependent operation at both ends, coupled with the fact that general cable-operated systems can only be pulled and cannot passively follow the movement, limits their application in the release valve operating mechanism of railway freight cars.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a control cable device for the relief valve of railway freight cars. Utility Model Content

[0016] Preferably, in the aforementioned railway freight car relief valve control cable device, the outer circumference of the ratchet is provided with multiple ratchet teeth, which cooperate with the ratchet pawl to enable the ratchet to rotate only in one direction. The inner hole of the ratchet is a flat round through hole, which is used to fit onto the fourth cylinder to fix the ratchet and the rope wheel axis circumferentially.
[0017] The aforementioned operating cable device for the railway freight car relief valve, preferably, includes a cable mechanism comprising a first protective tube joint, a protective sleeve, a second protective tube joint structure, a return spring, and a relief valve connection terminal connected in sequence. The left outer circumference of the first protective tube joint is provided with a positioning groove and an O-ring installation groove. A first O-ring is provided in the O-ring installation groove. After the first protective tube joint is inserted into the inner hole, a pin is driven in after the through hole is aligned with the positioning groove to achieve axial fixation of the first protective tube joint.

The wire rope is connected to the relief valve connection terminal in sequence through the protective sleeve, the second protective tube joint structure, and the return structure. The outside of the return spring is provided with a corrugated sheath.
[0018] Preferably, the second protective tube joint structure of the railway freight car relief valve control cable device includes a second protective tube joint body, a ball joint nut, a ball joint connector, a locking nut, and a nylon guide sleeve.

During installation, a round pin is passed through the handle of the relief valve and the central through hole of the hollow disc, respectively, so that the relief valve connection terminal and the handle of the relief valve are hinged together. By operating the wire rope to pull the relief valve connection terminal, the handle of the relief valve is rotated, thereby making the relief valve work.
[0020] Beneficial effects:
[0021] This utility model employs a design that balances the internal forces of the steel wire rope with the return spring of the cable device and the spring in the controller. This allows the release valve connection terminal to automatically return to its initial position after being pulled back and forth. In this way, the controllers located at the two positions on the vehicle body can be pulled and operated independently without affecting each other.
[0022] The manipulator of this utility model incorporates a clutch for the rope pulley body, a cam for the sliding sleeve clutch, a handle shaft, and a groove structure on the end face of the front cover bearing. This allows the rope pulley body to separate from the manipulator handle when it is not in operation; and the manipulator handle to be directly connected to the rope pulley body when it is in operation. The advantage of this is that when two manipulators are installed on the same vehicle, the active manipulator does not affect the handle of the other manipulator, and it avoids accidental jamming of the passive manipulator, which would affect the active operation.
[0023] This invention utilizes a ratchet mechanism on the rope wheel shaft inside the actuator and a ratchet pawl device on the rear cover to control the one-way rotation of the rope wheel shaft. By rotating the rope wheel shaft through the hexagonal hole at the rear end of the rope wheel shaft, the spring is tightened. After the torque of the spring and the compression force of the return spring of the cable are balanced by the operating wire rope, the spring does not rotate back, so that the release valve connection terminal always remains in the initial position after being pulled left and right.
[0024] This invention enables the release valve actuators located at any two points on the car body to operate independently without affecting each other and to automatically reset without causing any harmful impact on the reset function of the release valve handle. It has sealing and anti-theft and anti-tampering functions, and has a control cable device for the release valve of railway freight cars that is interchangeable with the release valve lever of existing railway freight cars.

This invention allows release valve operators located at any two points on the car body to operate independently without interfering with each other, automatically resetting without harmfully affecting the reset function of the release valve handle. It has sealing and anti-theft / tampering functions and is an interchangeable control cable device for the release valve of railway freight cars with the release valve lever of existing railway freight cars.
[0056] The following section uses a control cable device for a railway freight car relief valve as an example to illustrate the entire technical process in detail.
[0057] Example 1
[0058] like Figure 1-4As shown, a control cable device for a railway freight car release valve includes a control mechanism 1 and a cable mechanism 2. The control mechanism 1 includes a control handle 11, a handle connection assembly, a control housing assembly, and a rope wheel assembly 5. The control housing assembly has the tail end of the handle connection assembly and the rope wheel assembly 5 arranged sequentially from left to right. The handle connection assembly includes a front cover bearing 31, a handle shaft 32, a sliding clutch 33, a clutch spring 34, and a handle shaft torsion spring 36 connected in sequence. The front cover bearing 31 is connected to the control handle 11 so that the control handle 11 can be rotatably mounted on the control housing assembly.
[0059] In this device, the mounting plate 41 of the control assembly 1 is fixed to the vehicle body with fasteners. Rotating the control handle 11 clockwise can push the sliding clutch 33 to move axially to the right, connecting it to its pulley body 50, causing the pulley body 50 to rotate. The rotating pulley body 50 winds around and pulls the control wire rope 25 inside the cable device. The control wire rope 25 then pulls the handle of the release valve through the clamped connection terminal 22 of the release valve.
[0060] Releasing the control handle 11 causes the spring 51 of the rope pulley assembly 5 of the control unit 1 and the handle torsion spring 36 to reverse and reset the control pulley body 50. Under the action of the return spring 27, the control wire rope 25 returns the release valve connection terminal 22 to its initial position. Finally, the control handle 11 returns to its initial position, the release valve handle resets, and the vehicle braking system release operation is completed. Because the cable device 2 is a flexible long tubular structure, its length and curvature can be determined according to the vehicle model requirements. Therefore, the connection between the control unit 1 and the release valve connection terminal 22 can be flexibly arranged according to actual operational needs, and is not limited to a straight connection.
[0061] The operating handle 11 is made of steel through forging and machining. The operating handle 11 is a cylindrical handle body with a round disc-shaped handle head integrally formed. A square hole 110 is provided in the center of the handle head. The square hole 110 cooperates with the left end square shaft 321 of the handle shaft 32 to transmit the operating torque.

[0065] Among them, the front cover 30 is a thin-walled continuous structure made of steel plate through stamping and stretching forming process, with a central frustum and an edge ring.
[0066] The outer circle of the front cover bearing body 31 is a stepped cylindrical structure. The first cylinder at the front end of the stepped cylindrical structure is fixed by welding at the central circular hole 301. The inner circle of the front cover bearing body 31 is a multi-step through structure. The multi-step through structure includes a dustproof sealing ring 312, a front cover bearing 314 and a mounting point 315 for the handle shaft torsion spring 36 arranged in sequence.

The triangular grooves 311 are used to cooperate with the triangular cam 331 on the left end face of the sliding clutch 33. The narrow grooves 313 are used to place the support arm of the handle torsion spring 36.
[0067] The handle shaft 32 includes a square shaft 321, a first cylinder 320, a third cylinder 324, a second cylinder 326, and a flat round connector 323 connected sequentially from left to right. The square shaft 321 has a through hole 322 for the handle pin 12 to pass through. The first cylinder 320 passes sequentially through the front cover bearing body 31 and the central round hole 301 to connect the square shaft 321 to the operating handle 11. The third cylinder 324 has an axial groove 325, and the first cylinder 320 is fitted with a protective sleeve. The dust seal ring 37 is fitted with the front cover bearing 314. The handle torsion spring 36 is fitted on the second cylinder 326 and is respectively locked in the axial groove 325 and the narrow groove 313. It is used to automatically turn the operating handle 11 back to its original position after operation. The flat round connector 323 is connected to the sliding clutch 33. The inner end face of the right side of the flat round connector 323 is provided with a cylindrical blind hole 327. The cylindrical blind hole 327 is used to fit the first cylinder 524 on the left side of the rope wheel shaft 52.
[0068] The handle torsion spring 36 is made of spring steel wire wound and bent.
[0069] The sliding clutch 33 is made of steel through machining. The sliding clutch 33 includes a cylindrical body 335. The cylindrical body 335 is provided with a left inner hole 332. The flat round connector 323 passes through the left inner hole 332 and then through the inner hole of the handle shaft bearing 35, and can slide axially. The outer circle of the handle shaft bearing 35 is supported in the clutch inner hole of the rope wheel body 50. The bottom of the cylindrical body 335 is provided with a right inner hole 334 to realize the cylindrical structure at the bottom of the cylindrical body 335. The cylindrical structure is used to install the clutch spring 34. Multiple triangular teeth 333 are provided on the bottom edge of the cylindrical body 335. The triangular teeth 333 are engaged with the rope wheel assembly. Two protruding triangular cams 331 are provided on the left end face 330 of the cylindrical body 335. When the operating handle 11 is not rotated, the triangular cams 331 cooperate with the triangular grooves 311. When the operation is turned clockwise, the triangular cam 331 slides out from the triangular groove 311 to the right end face of the front cover bearing body 31. At the same time, the sliding clutch 33 moves axially, so that the triangular tooth 333 at the right end of the sliding clutch 33 engages with the clutch triangular tooth 502 of the rope wheel of the rope wheel body 50.

[0079] The cable mechanism 2 includes a first protective tube joint 24, a protective sleeve 26, a second protective tube joint structure, a return spring 27, and a relief valve connection terminal 22 connected in sequence. The left end of the first protective tube joint 24 is provided with a positioning groove and an O-ring installation groove. The O-ring installation groove is provided with a first O-ring 251. After the first protective tube joint 24 is inserted into the inner hole 421, the through hole 402 is aligned with the positioning groove and a pin 15 is driven in to fix the first protective tube joint 24 axially. The inner cylinder of the first protective tube joint 24 is used to pass through the wire rope 25. The wire rope 25 is connected to the relief valve connection terminal 22 in sequence through the protective sleeve 26, the second protective tube joint structure, and the return structure. The outside of the return spring 27 is provided with a corrugated tube protective sleeve 23.
[0080] The second protective tube connector structure includes a second protective tube connector body 21, a ball joint nut 210, a ball joint connector body 212, a locking nut 214, and a nylon guide sleeve 215.

The center of the ball joint connector 212 is provided with a semi-circular annular hole for engaging the outer spherical notch of the ball joint nut 214. The ball joint connector 212 clamps the ball joint nut 214, allowing the ball joint connector 212 and the ball joint nut 214 to rotate in all directions. When the wire rope 25 pulls the relief valve connection terminal 22, the fixed ball joint connector 212 and the moving relief valve connection terminal 22 are displaced, causing the axial direction of the wire rope 25 to change, thus preventing the wire rope 25 from getting stuck due to lateral force.
[0081] The relief valve connection terminal 22 includes a body, a stepped cylinder 221, a second step 222 on the left, a third step 223 on the left, and a hollow disc 224.

The stepped cylinder 221 has an inner cylindrical blind hole 225, which is used to insert a steel wire rope 25 and connect it to the body by a snap-fit method. The second step 222 on the left is used to position and lock the return spring 27. The third step 223 is fitted with a bellows sheath 23. The hollow disc 224 is used to connect the handle of the relief valve. During installation, a round pin is passed through the handle of the relief valve and the central through hole of the hollow disc 224 respectively, so that the relief valve connection terminal 22 and the handle of the relief valve are hinged together. By manipulating the steel wire rope 25 to pull the relief valve connection terminal 22, the handle of the relief valve is rotated, thereby making the relief valve work.
[0082] During assembly, first assemble and crimp the first protective tube connector 24, the second protective tube connector 21, and the protective sleeve 26 into one piece; assemble and crimp the operating wire rope 25 to the relief valve connection terminal 22 into one piece; pass the other end of the operating wire rope 25 through the corrugated pipe protective sleeve 23, the return spring 27, the second protective tube connector 21, and the first protective tube connector 24 respectively, and tighten the operating wire rope 25 so that the return spring 27 and the corrugated pipe protective sleeve 23 are installed between the second protective tube connector 21 and the relief valve connection terminal 22, and then proceed to the final assembly.
[0083] Example 2
[0084] The method for assembling and debugging the control cable device for a railway freight car release valve in Example 1 includes the following steps:
[0085] S1. The end of the operating wire rope 25, which passes through the first protective tube joint 24, of the operating cable device 2 of the railway freight car relief valve is passed through the inner hole 421 of the protective tube joint mounting seat 42 of the housing 4. The operating wire rope 25 is pulled so that the end of the first protective tube joint 24 is close to the inner hole 421 of the protective tube joint mounting seat 42. Then, the left side of the first protective tube joint 24 is inserted into the inner hole 421 of the mounting seat 42. A pin 15 is driven into the protective tube positioning hole 402 of the housing 4 to fix the first protective tube joint 24 axially to the housing 4, so that it cannot be pulled out.
[0086] S2. Insert the head end of the control wire rope 25 into the outer circular groove 504 of the rope wheel body 50, and wind it more than 2 turns until all the excess part of the control wire rope 25 is wound; install the rope wheel assembly 5 into the middle circular hole of the housing 4.
[0087] S3. Insert the second O-ring 16 into the mounting groove 403 on the side of the housing 4; assemble the front cover assembly 3 and the rear cover assembly 6 on the two sides of the housing 4 respectively, and align the mounting holes 303, 404 and 601 of the three. First, use process bolts instead of rivets 13 to fix the front and rear cover assemblies 3 and 6 to the housing 4.
[0088] S4. Assemble the handle 11 by riveting the handle pin 12 through the through hole 322 of the handle shaft 32.
[0089] S5. Insert an Allen wrench into the hexagonal blind hole 526 on the right end of the rope wheel shaft 32 and rotate the rope wheel shaft 32 counterclockwise. At this time, the rope wheel shaft 32 winds the spring 51. After the rotation reaches a certain torque, the spring 51 drives the rope wheel body 50 to rotate, pulling the operating wire rope 25. The operating wire rope 25 pulls the release valve connection terminal 22 to move, compressing the return spring 27. When the compression of the return spring 27 reaches 50mm (half of the return spring's working stroke), stop. At this time, the release valve connection terminal 22 is in the initial working position.
[0090] S6. Rotate the control handle 11 of the railway freight car release valve control cable device located on the left side of the release valve by 30°. At this time, the teeth 333 of the sliding clutch 33 engage with the teeth of the clutch gear 502. Then rotate the control handle 11. The control handle 11 directly drives the rope wheel body 50 to rotate and pulls the control wire rope 25, thereby causing the release valve connection terminal 22 to move to the left past the initial position. At this time, the release valve connection terminal 22 drives the release valve handle to move until the release valve starts to work.
[0091] S7. After releasing the operating handle 11, the operating handle 11 returns to the vertical position under the action of the return spring 27 and the spring spring 51. Under the combined action of the handle return torsion spring 36 and the clutch spring 34, the sliding clutch 33 disengages from the teeth of the rope wheel clutch gear 502, and the cam 332 of the sliding clutch 33 returns to the triangular groove 311 on the end face of the front cover bearing 31.
[0092] S8. Pull the release valve connection terminal 22 of the railway freight car release valve control cable device to the right. At this time, the return spring 27 extends, the control wire rope 25 drives the rope wheel 50 to rotate counterclockwise, and the spring 51 is tightened at the same time (the control handle does not move because the slip clutch is in the disengaged state). Release the release valve connection terminal 22. Under the action of the torque of the spring 51, the rope wheel 51 is driven to rotate clockwise and the control wire rope 25 is pulled back until it is balanced with the force of the return spring 27. The release valve connection terminal 22 returns to the initial position.
[0093] S9. After the operation test is passed, replace the process bolts with rivets 13 for fastening to prevent loosening and arbitrary disassembly.
[0094] S10, bearing clip 14 for press-fitted rear cover bearing 65, and adjustment hole clip 66 for press-fitted rear cover adjustment hole 602.
[0095] Example 3
[0096] The installation method of the control cable device for the release valve of a railway freight car in Example 1 includes the following steps:
[0097] S1. Align the hole 410 of the housing mounting plate 41 with the mounting hole on the vehicle body, then insert the bolt and tighten it to secure it.
[0098] S2. Arrange and fix the cable sheath tube 26 according to the design of the vehicle.
[0099] S3. Connect the relief valve connection terminal 22 to the relief valve handle using a pin.
[0100] S4. Adjust the position of the ball joint connector 212 of the second protective pipe connector 21 and install it on the mounting base fixed on the vehicle body, and fix it with bolts.
[0101] S5. Two sets of this utility model can be installed on opposite sides of the relief valve handle to facilitate operation of the relief valve from two different positions. At this time, under the balancing force of the return spring 27 and the spring spring 51, the relief valve connection terminal 22 can be reliably reset from the initial position by left and right operation without adding external force to the relief valve handle, thus preventing the relief valve from jamming.
[0102] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.

The right outer circle step of the second protective tube connector body (21) is used to position the return spring (27). The outer circle of the ball joint nut (214) is spherical, and the inner circle of the ball joint nut (214) is cylindrical and threaded. The ball joint connector (212) is threaded with the outer diameter of the second protective tube connector (21) to adjust the relative axial position. The two ends of the ball joint connector (212) are provided with mounting through holes (213). The center of the ball joint connector (212) is provided with a semi-spherical ring hole for fitting the outer spherical notch of the ball joint nut (214). The ball joint connector (212) clamps the ball joint nut (214) so that the ball joint connector (212) and the ball joint nut (214) can rotate around. When the wire rope (25) pulls the relief valve connection terminal (22), the fixed ball joint connector (212) and the moving relief valve connection terminal (22) are displaced, causing the axial direction of the wire rope (25) to change, thus preventing the wire rope (25) from getting stuck due to lateral force.
