Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge inspection vehicle technology, and more specifically, to an inspection vehicle suspension system. Background Technology

[0002] A bridge inspection vehicle is a specialized piece of equipment that provides a working platform for the detection and repair of bridge defects. Most bridge beam bottom inspection vehicles currently in widespread use employ a suspended design. This type of inspection vehicle requires a dedicated track to be installed under the beam, and the vehicle runs on the track via a suspension mechanism.

[0003] The suspended inspection vehicle track system is a double-track structure. The track is made up of multiple sections of H-beams of a certain length connected by joint seats. Depending on the bridge cross-section and width, the track gauge is usually set between several meters and tens of meters.

[0004] During track installation, due to construction errors, the track height and gauge often deviate from the design values. These deviations may lead to the following problems:

[0005] 1. Track height difference: If the track height difference is too large, it will make it difficult for the inspection vehicle to move, and the driving wheels will be unevenly stressed, affecting the stability and safety of the vehicle.

[0006] 2. Track gauge error: Excessive track gauge error may cause the drive box to jam with the track, and the suspension mechanism to be subjected to additional bending moment and shear force, which will have an adverse effect on the stability and durability of the entire system.

[0007] Excessive gauge error can cause the drive box to jam with the track, and the suspension mechanism to be subjected to additional bending moment and shear force, among other adverse conditions.

[0008] The existing inspection vehicle suspension mechanisms are mostly fixed connection mechanisms. Excessive track gauge error and track height difference will have many adverse effects on the operation of the inspection vehicle, resulting in problems such as difficulty in walking, uneven force on the walking wheels, jamming of the drive box and the track, and the suspension mechanism bearing additional bending moment and shear force.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0057] Example 1

[0058] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes an inspection vehicle suspension system, including a movable end suspension mechanism 15 and a fixed end suspension mechanism 16. The movable end suspension mechanism 15 and the fixed end suspension mechanism 16 are respectively suspended on two tracks, and the movable end suspension mechanism 15 and the fixed end suspension mechanism 16 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0059] In this embodiment, the track is a steel track 13.

[0060] The movable end suspension mechanism 15 includes a drive box 1, an upper fixed seat 2, and a movable end lower connecting seat 3. The drive box 1 is located above the upper fixed seat 2 and is hinged to the upper fixed seat 2. The drive box 1 can rotate relative to the upper fixed seat 2 in a vertical plane.

[0061] In this embodiment, the movable end suspension mechanism 15 includes two drive boxes 1. The drive box wall plate 1-2 of the drive box 1 is equipped with a traveling wheel 1-1. The movable end suspension mechanism 15 is suspended on the steel rail 13 of the bridge beam bottom 17 through the traveling wheel 1-1. The drive box 1 is used to drive the inspection vehicle to travel along the rail system.

[0062] The drive box 1 is hinged to the upper fixed seat 2 via the first pin 1-3, and the drive box 1 can rotate relative to the upper fixed seat 2 within a certain range with the first pin 1-3 as the rotation axis.

[0063] The upper fixed seat 2 has pin holes at both ends, and bushings are installed in the pin holes. The two drive boxes 1 are respectively installed at both ends of the upper fixed seat 2, and the two drive boxes 1 are arranged back and forth along the track direction. The first pin shaft 1-3 passes through the corresponding bushing, so as to realize the hinge connection between the drive box 1 and the upper fixed seat 2.

[0064] Since the two drive boxes 1 can rotate around the upper fixed seat 2 within a certain range, the traveling wheels 1-1 of the two drive boxes 1 do not need to be kept on the same horizontal line, thereby adapting to the height difference of the track and avoiding problems such as difficulty in walking of the inspection vehicle and uneven force on the traveling wheels.

[0065] The movable end lower connecting seat 3 is located below the upper fixed seat 2, and the movable end lower connecting seat 3 is hinged to the upper fixed seat 2. The upper fixed seat 2 and the movable end lower connecting seat 3 can rotate relative to each other in the horizontal plane to release small-angle rotation and adapt to changes in track gauge within a certain range.

[0066] In this embodiment, the upper fixed seat 2 and the lower movable end connecting seat 3 are connected by a first rotating shaft 3-1. In addition to transmitting tension, the first rotating shaft 3-1 also has the function of preventing the inspection vehicle from falling. With this structure, while ensuring the rotational freedom between the upper drive box 1, the upper fixed seat 2 and the lower movable end connecting seat 3 and the movable end gantry 12, sufficient vertical rigidity and strength are also provided.

[0067] Furthermore, a disc 8-1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper fixed seat 2. The center of the disc 8-1 is connected to the upper fixed seat 2 through a connector. There is a gap between the disc 8-1 and the upper fixed seat 2. The connector may be, but is not limited to, a connecting column or other structural component.

[0068] The top of the movable end lower connecting seat 3 is fixedly connected to a circular stop 8-2, the disc 8-1 is placed inside the circular stop 8-2, and the circular stop 8-2 is hung on the disc 8-1.

[0069] The disc 8-1 and the circular stop 8-2 are fitted together, and the two can slide relative to each other in the horizontal plane along the circumference of the disc 8-1.

[0070] The centers of the disk 8-1 and the circular stop 8-2 are coaxial with the center of the first rotating shaft 3-1.

[0071] The circular stop 8-2 includes a disc box body. A ring stop is provided on the top of the disc box body. The outer edge of the ring stop is connected to the inner wall of the disc box body. The disc 8-1 is placed in the disc box body, and the ring stop is hung on the disc 8-1.

[0072] By cooperating with the disc 8-1 and the circular stop 8-2, the lower connecting seat 3 of the movable end can rotate relative to the upper fixed seat 2 in the horizontal plane.

[0073] With the above structure, the upper fixed seat 2 and the lower movable end connecting seat 3 can rotate relative to each other in the horizontal plane, ensuring that the upper drive box 1, upper fixed seat 2 and the lower movable end connecting seat 3 and movable end gantry 12 have a certain degree of rotational freedom, which can adapt to the change of track gauge to a certain extent. By releasing small-angle rotation, the vibration and impact during the operation of the inspection vehicle can be reduced, the overall stability and safety of operation can be improved, and the smooth operation of the inspection vehicle can be guaranteed.

[0074] The fixed end suspension mechanism 16 includes a second drive box 5, a second upper fixed seat 6, and a lower fixed end connecting seat 4. The second drive box 5 has the same structure as the first drive box 1, and the second upper fixed seat 6 has the same structure as the first upper fixed seat 2.

[0075] The second drive box 5 is located above the second upper fixed seat 6, and the second drive box 5 is hinged to the second upper fixed seat 6. The second drive box 5 can rotate relative to the second upper fixed seat 6 in the vertical plane.

[0076] In this embodiment, the fixed end suspension mechanism 16 includes two drive boxes 2 5. The drive box wall plate 2 5-2 of the drive box 2 5 is equipped with a walking wheel 2 5-1. The fixed end suspension mechanism 16 is suspended on the steel rail 13 of the bridge beam bottom 17 through the walking wheel 2 5-1. The drive box 2 5 and the drive box 1 jointly drive the inspection vehicle to move along the track system.

[0077] The drive box 2 5 is hinged to the upper fixed seat 2 6 via the second pin 5-3, and the drive box 2 5 can rotate relative to the upper fixed seat 2 6 within a certain range with the second pin 5-3 as the rotation axis.

[0078] The upper fixed seat 2 6 has pin holes at both ends, and bushings are installed in the pin holes. The two drive boxes 2 5 are respectively installed at both ends of the upper fixed seat 2 6, and the two drive boxes 2 5 are arranged back and forth along the track direction. The first pin shaft 1-3 passes through the corresponding bushing, so as to realize the hinge connection between the drive box 2 5 and the upper fixed seat 2 6.

[0079] Since the two drive boxes 2 5 can rotate around the upper fixed seat 2 6 within a certain range, the traveling wheels 2 5-1 of the two drive boxes 2 5 do not need to be kept on the same horizontal line, thereby adapting to the height difference of the track and avoiding problems such as difficulty in walking of the inspection vehicle and uneven force on the traveling wheels.

[0080] The lower fixed end connecting seat 4 is located below the second upper fixed seat 6, and the lower fixed end connecting seat 4 is hinged to the second upper fixed seat 6. The second upper fixed seat 6 and the lower fixed end connecting seat 4 can rotate relative to each other in the horizontal plane to release small-angle rotation and adapt to changes in track gauge within a certain range.

[0081] The upper fixed seat 6 and the lower fixed end connecting seat 4 are connected by a second rotating shaft 4-1, enabling relative rotation between the upper fixed seat 6 and the lower fixed end connecting seat 4. The function of the second rotating shaft 4-1 is the same as that of the first rotating shaft 3-1, and will not be described again here.

[0082] Furthermore, a disc 8-3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper fixed seat 6 of the fixed end suspension mechanism 16. The center of the disc 8-3 is connected to the upper fixed seat 6 through a connector, and there is a gap between the disc 8-3 and the upper fixed seat 6. The connector may be, but is not limited to, a connecting column or other structural component.

[0083] The top of the fixed end lower connecting seat 4 is fixedly connected to a circular stop 8-4, the disc 8-3 is placed inside the circular stop 8-4, and the circular stop 8-4 is hung on the disc 8-3.

[0084] The second disk 8-3 and the second circular stop 8-4 are engaged, and the two can slide relative to each other in the horizontal plane along the circumference of the second disk 8-3.

[0085] The centers of the second disk 8-3 and the second circular stop 8-4 are coaxial with the center of the second rotating shaft 4-1.

[0086] The circular stop 2 8-4 has the same structure as the circular stop 1 8-2, and will not be described in detail here.

[0087] With the cooperation of the disc 2 8-3 and the circular stop 2 8-4, the fixed end lower connecting seat 4 can rotate in the horizontal plane relative to the upper fixed seat 2 6.

[0088] With the above structure, the upper fixed seat 2 6 and the lower fixed end connecting seat 4 can rotate relative to each other in the horizontal plane, ensuring that the upper drive box 2 5, the upper fixed seat 2 6 and the lower fixed end connecting seat 4 and the fixed end gantry 9 have a certain degree of rotational freedom, which can adapt to the change of track gauge to a certain extent. By releasing small-angle rotation, the vibration and impact during the operation of the inspection vehicle can be reduced, the overall stability and safety of operation can be improved, and the smooth operation of the inspection vehicle can be guaranteed.

[0089] In this embodiment, the lateral translation and vertical rotation between the movable end lower connecting seat 3 and the fixed end lower connecting seat 4 have bending and shear resistance functions.

[0090] The drive boxes of the movable end suspension mechanism 15 and the fixed end suspension mechanism 16 rotate with the upper fixed seat, so that the traveling wheels of the two drive boxes do not have to be kept on the same horizontal line, thereby adapting to the height difference of the track.

[0091] The rotational connection between the upper fixed seat 12 and the lower connecting seat 3 of the movable end, and the rotational connection between the upper fixed seat 26 and the lower connecting seat 4 of the fixed end, enable the movable end suspension mechanism 15 and the fixed end suspension mechanism 16 to have a certain degree of rotational freedom, allowing for angular rotation and adapting to gauge changes to a certain extent.

[0092] The movable end lower connecting seat 3 is slidably connected to the movable end gantry 12, and the movable end lower connecting seat 3 can move laterally relative to the movable end gantry 12, wherein lateral movement refers to the horizontal direction perpendicular to the track direction. The fixed end lower connecting seat 4 is directly connected to the fixed end gantry 9.

[0093] To achieve a sliding connection, a sliding mechanism 10 is connected to the bottom of the lower connecting seat 3 at the movable end, and the lower connecting seat 3 at the movable end is connected to the gantry frame 12 at the movable end through the sliding mechanism 10.

[0094] The sliding mechanism 10 includes a first mounting plate 10-1 connected to the lower connecting seat 3 of the movable end, and a sliding wheel 10-2 mounted on the first mounting plate 10-1. The flange of the crossbeam 12-1 of the movable end gantry 12 is suspended on the sliding wheel 10-2. The sliding wheel 10-2 rolls in contact with the bottom surface of the upper flange plate of the crossbeam 12-1 of the movable end gantry 12. The sliding wheel 10-2 can roll laterally along the upper flange plate of the crossbeam 12-1 of the movable end gantry 12, and relative movement can occur between them. When the track gauge changes, the sliding mechanism 10 and its upper connected structure can move laterally within a certain range relative to the movable end gantry 12, thereby adapting to track gauge errors.

[0095] The sliding mechanism 10 is arranged at both ends of the bottom of the lower connecting seat 3 of the movable end.

[0096] The sliding mechanism 10 enables the lateral movement of the lower connecting seat 3 at the movable end, ensuring the stability of the lateral movement.

[0097] The bottom of the lower connecting seat 3 of the movable end is also connected to a guide mechanism 11. The guide mechanism 11 includes a second mounting plate 11-1 connected to the lower connecting seat 3 of the movable end and a guide wheel 11-2 mounted on the second mounting plate 11-1. The guide wheel 11-2 rolls in contact with the web of the crossbeam 12-1 of the movable end gantry frame 12, and the guide wheel 11-2 can roll laterally along the web of the crossbeam 12-1 of the movable end gantry frame 12. The guide wheel 11-2 guides the lateral movement of the drive box 1 and is located between the sliding wheels 10-2 at both ends.

[0098] Two second mounting plates 11-1 are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the lower connecting seat 3 at the movable end, and a set of guide wheels 11-2 are respectively installed on the two second mounting plates 11-1.

[0099] The fixed end lower connecting seat 4 is connected to the fixed end gantry 9 via a third pin 4-3, the length direction of which is the same as the track direction.

[0100] The lower connecting seat 4 at the fixed end and the gantry frame 9 at the fixed end can rotate relative to each other to release the small-angle offset generated during the operation of the inspection vehicle, ensure the smooth operation of the inspection vehicle, and avoid local stress concentration.

[0101] The two ends of the third pin 4-3 are respectively connected to the ear plate 4-2 of the lower connecting seat 4 of the fixed end, and the third pin 4-3 passes through the pin hole on the gantry frame 9 of the fixed end.

[0102] The movable end suspension mechanism 15 and the fixed end suspension mechanism 16 are respectively suspended on two tracks. The two work together to form a simple support system for the entire inspection vehicle system.

[0103] Because the bottom of the lower connecting seat 3 of the movable end is connected to a sliding mechanism 10, the lateral position of the traveling wheel 1-1 of the drive box 1 can be changed and adjusted to adapt to changes in track gauge. This solves the problem that existing inspection vehicle suspension mechanisms use fixed connection mechanisms, and excessive track gauge errors and track height differences will cause many adverse effects on the operation of the inspection vehicle, leading to problems such as difficulty in walking, uneven force on the traveling wheels, jamming of the drive box and the track, and the suspension mechanism bearing additional bending moment and shear force. This utility model can avoid the traveling wheel of the drive box from jamming with the track and avoid the suspension mechanism bearing additional bending moment and shear force.

[0104] Example 2

[0105] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0106] Both the first upper fixed seat 2 and the second upper fixed seat 6 are equipped with a manual parking device 14. The manual parking device 14 includes a manual parking device pressure head 14-1 and a turntable 14-2. The turntable 14-2 is connected to the manual parking device pressure head 14-1 through a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is connected to the first upper fixed seat 2 or the second upper fixed seat 6 through a thread. When the turntable 14-2 is rotated, the rotating shaft drives the manual parking device pressure head 14-1 to move up and down. The manual parking device pressure head 14-1 can contact the rail, and parking is achieved through the friction between the two.

[0107] Example 3

[0108] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0109] An angle encoder 7 is installed at the bottom of the first rotating shaft 3-1 and the second rotating shaft 4-1. The angle encoder 7 can monitor the relative rotation angle between the movable end lower connecting seat 3, the fixed end lower connecting seat 4 and the corresponding upper fixed seat.

[0110] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
