Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a lateral movement device for rescuing heavy-duty railway metallurgical vehicles after they derail, and belongs to the technical field of railway vehicle rescue equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increase in steel production capacity, the tonnage of metallurgical transport vehicles has also increased, from the early 60-ton and 100-ton models to the current 140-ton, 260-ton, and 320-ton models. Among them, the 320-ton torpedo-type mixed-rail vehicle, when fully loaded and including its own weight, has a total weight of 610 tons, with a total of 16 axles, and a single axle weight of about 38 tons (maximum 40 tons). These heavily loaded metallurgical vehicles are difficult to rescue after derailment, posing a great challenge to vehicle rescue and becoming a technical problem that plagues metallurgical enterprises.

[0003] Currently, steel companies use a combination of lifting and lateral reset devices to reset derailed vehicles during rescue operations. The lateral reset device uses a manually rotated screw to transmit thrust. During reset, the derailed vehicle is first lifted using the lifting device, then the screw of the lateral reset device is manually rotated. As the screw extends, it pushes one end of the lifted vehicle back to its original position directly above the rail. Finally, the lifting hydraulic device is lowered, completing the vehicle reset. However, due to the large tonnage of the torpedo tanker, two sets of screws are needed to provide lateral thrust during rescue operations. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can even lead to screw bending and deformation, severely impacting the efficiency of vehicle rescue work. Therefore, improvement is essential. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rescue lateral movement device for railway vehicles that have derailed. This rescue lateral movement device can laterally move heavy-duty railway vehicles that have derailed. The lateral movement process is efficient, fast and stable, which can significantly shorten the rescue time, improve the efficiency of rescue work and reduce the workload of operators.

[0005] The technical solution to the above technical problem is:

[0006] A rescue lateral movement device for railway vehicle derailment includes a base, chains, grab hooks, a hydraulic cylinder, a manual hydraulic pump station, and high-pressure oil pipes. The base and the manual hydraulic pump station are placed on the railway foundation outside the derailed car.

[0017] This utility model consists of a base 1, an iron chain 2, a grab hook 3, a hydraulic cylinder 4, a manual hydraulic pump station 5, and a high-pressure oil pipe 6.

[0018] Figure 1 The display shows that the base 1 and the manual hydraulic pump station 5 are placed on the railway foundation. The rear end of the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 4 is connected to the base 1. The hydraulic cylinder 4 is connected to the manual hydraulic pump station 5 through the high-pressure oil pipe 6. The manual hydraulic pump station 5 provides high-pressure hydraulic oil to the hydraulic cylinder 4, driving the hydraulic push rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4 to extend and push the derailed car 16 to move laterally.

[0019] Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the base 1 consists of a base plate 7, a support plate 8, a connecting plate 9, a pin 11, a fixing ring 12, and a round pin 13. The base plate 7 is a square plate. Two support plates 8 are welded vertically and parallel to the upper surface of the base plate 7. The connecting plate 9 is welded vertically between the two support plates 8, connecting them as a whole to ensure the stability of the support plates 8. The upper ends of the two support plates 8 each have U-shaped grooves 10. The two ends of the pin 11 are embedded in the U-shaped grooves 10, and the two ends of the pin 11 are rotatably engaged with the U-shaped grooves 10.
