[0040] Example 1
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a lithium-ion battery rail drilling machine, comprising a frame 1 and a clamping support assembly 2; and a drive motor 3 fixed on the frame 1 and a power battery pack 4 for providing power to the drive motor 3. The output end of the drive motor 3 drives the drill bit 5 to drill through a transmission mechanism 6; during drilling, the clamping support assembly 2 clamps the rail.
[0042] The frame 1 is the main frame of the drilling machine, made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength, making it easy for operators to carry. The frame 1 has mounting positions for the drive motor 3, the power battery pack 4, and the transmission mechanism 6.
[0043] The drive motor 3 is a high-efficiency permanent magnet brushless motor with a rated power of no less than 1500W and a maximum speed of 13800rpm, which can meet the power requirements of rail drilling. The drive motor 3 is firmly mounted on the frame 1 with fixing bolts, and the motor shaft is equipped with gears that mesh with the transmission mechanism 6.
[0044] The power battery pack 4 uses high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries with a rated voltage of 36V and a capacity of 10Ah, which can support continuous operation for approximately 4 hours, meeting the needs of general field construction. The power battery pack 4 features a quick-release design for easy replacement and charging. A power indicator light is provided on the battery pack, allowing operators to easily monitor the remaining battery power.
[0045] like Figure 3As shown, the transmission mechanism 6 includes a transmission shaft 61, a transmission sleeve 62, and a limiting clamp 63. One end (e.g., the rear end) of the transmission shaft 61 meshes with the output shaft of the drive motor 3 via a gear set consisting of one or more gears, while the other end (e.g., the front end) has an interface for mounting the drill bit 5, such as a Morse taper hole, a drill chuck, or other specialized interface. The axial direction of the transmission shaft 61 is the drilling direction. The transmission shaft 61 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via bearings, ensuring that the transmission shaft 61 can rotate smoothly and efficiently. The transmission shaft 61 is made of 45# steel, which has been heat-treated for strengthening, and has good strength and wear resistance.
[0046] The transmission sleeve 62 is fitted on the transmission shaft 61 and is rotatably connected to the transmission shaft 61 through a needle roller thrust ball bearing; the limiting clamp 63 is installed on the transmission shaft 61 to ensure the axial limiting of the transmission sleeve 62 and the rotating shaft 61.
[0047] The rear end of the drive shaft 61 is connected to the gear set via a large spline. In this way, when the drive shaft 61 moves axially, it can not only play a guiding role, but also effectively transfer the power of the drive motor 3.
[0048] The transmission mechanism 6 also includes a feed adjustment section, which comprises an adjusting rack 64, an adjusting gear 65, and an adjusting handle 66. The adjusting rack 64 is fixedly connected to the transmission sleeve 62 and is arranged axially parallel to the transmission shaft 61. The adjusting gear 65 meshes with the adjusting rack 64 and is fixedly connected to the adjusting handle 66. The adjusting handle 66 is rotatably connected to the frame 1.
[0049] By rotating the adjusting handle 66, the adjusting gear 65 is driven to rotate. Since the adjusting gear 65 meshes with the adjusting rack 64, it can drive the adjusting rack 64 and the transmission sleeve 62 connected to it to move the rotating shaft 61 axially along the transmission shaft 61, thereby realizing the feed or retraction operation of the drill bit 5. The adjusting handle 66 is equipped with a scale, which makes it easy for the operator to control the feed amount and ensure drilling accuracy.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment further provides a water jacket cooling system based on embodiment 1. Specifically, a water jacket 7 is additionally installed at the front end of the transmission mechanism 6 (for example, fixed on the front end of the transmission slide sleeve 62, or fixed on the frame 1 near the working area of the drill bit 5). The water jacket 7 is provided with a water inlet pipe 71 for connecting cooling water, and a water spray nozzle 72 for spraying cooling water to the part to be drilled.
[0052] The water jacket 7 is made of aluminum alloy, making it lightweight and providing excellent heat dissipation. The water jacket 7 is bolted to the transmission slide sleeve 62 and moves with it. The water jacket 7 has internal water channels that connect to the water inlet pipe 71 and the spray nozzle 72. The water inlet pipe 71 is a pressure-resistant flexible hose or rigid pipe, one end of which can be connected to an external water source or a portable water tank.
[0053] The water nozzle 72 is located at the front end of the water jacket 7, facing the contact point between the drill bit 5 and the rail. It can spray cooling water directly onto the drilling area, effectively cooling the drill bit 5 and the drilling part, reducing the temperature of the drill bit 5, extending the service life of the drill bit 5, and at the same time flushing away the chips generated during drilling, keeping the drilling area clean.
[0054] The spray nozzle 72 features an adjustable design, allowing operators to adjust the spray angle and water volume as needed to achieve optimal cooling. The water jacket 7 is also equipped with a filter to prevent impurities from clogging the spray nozzle 72.
[0055] Example 3
[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment describes the structure of the clamping support assembly 2 in detail. The clamping support assembly 2 includes a support frame 21, two clamping plates 22, a connecting plate 23, a clamping arm 24, a locking arm 25, and a locking seat 26.
[0057] The support frame 21 is bolted to the frame 1. The support frame 21 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy to ensure that the entire clamping support assembly 2 has sufficient strength and stability. The support frame 21 has a frame-type structure, which is lightweight, high-strength, and easy to install and disassemble.
[0058] Two clamping plates 19 are bolted to the lower sides of the support frame 21, located on either side of the drilling position. Each clamping plate 22 has a groove 221 machined on it to match the shape of a specific part of the rail sidewall (such as the arc transition area at the lower edge of the rail head or the rail web). These grooves 20 are used to fit tightly against the rail R during clamping, providing stable positioning and support.
[0059] The clamping plate 22 is made of high-strength alloy steel and has undergone surface hardening treatment, giving it excellent wear resistance and deformation resistance. The shape of the clamping slot 221 is designed to match the side wall shape of the standard steel rail, ensuring a tight fit.
[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, the two ends of the card plate 22 have different sizes, thus adapting to different types of steel rails.
[0061] The connecting plate 23 is fixed to the upper middle part of the support frame 21, located between the two clamping plates 22. The middle part of the clamping arm 24 (or a fulcrum position selected according to design needs) is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting plate 23. The clamping arm 24 is designed with an arc shape to form good contact with the bottom of the rail, improving the clamping effect. Its lower end is designed to effectively abut against the side wall of the rail (usually the lower jaw of the rail head or the rail web on the side opposite to the clamping plate 22). The upper end of the clamping arm 24 is provided with a rotating shaft 241 as the point of force application, which has an internal thread.
[0062] The locking arm 25 is a long rod with an internally threaded hole. One end (e.g., the rear end) is threadedly engaged with the rotating shaft 241 at the upper end of the clamping arm 24. After passing through the rotating shaft 241, the other end (e.g., the front end) of the locking arm 25 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the lock seat 26. The locking arm 25 is made of a high-strength threaded rod and has a galvanized surface to prevent corrosion. One end of the locking arm 25 is provided with a handle 251 for easy rotation by the operator.
[0063] One end of the lock seat 26 is rotatably connected to the support frame 21. The lock seat 26 is made of cast steel, making it sturdy and durable. A rolling bearing is provided at the connection between the lock seat 26 and the locking arm 25 to reduce friction and improve operational flexibility.
[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the support frame 21 is also provided with a handle 29, which makes it convenient to hold the drilling machine during operation.
[0065] Example 4
[0066] Based on Example 3, this example further optimizes the clamping support assembly 2. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 21 is provided with a connecting arm 27; one end of the connecting arm 27 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the support frame 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lock seat 26.
[0067] The connecting arm 27 is made of 45# steel with a rust-proof surface treatment. The design of the connecting arm 27 increases the stability of the locking mechanism, making the locking arm 25 rotate more smoothly and achieving a better locking effect. Rolling bearings are used at the connections between the connecting arm 27, the support frame 21, and the lock seat 26 to reduce friction and improve operational flexibility.
[0068] Furthermore, the connecting arm 27 is provided with an integrally formed limiting baffle 28; the limiting baffle 28 is located below the lock seat 26 and extends from the connection between the connecting arm 27 and the lock seat 26 toward the locking arm 25. The function of the limiting baffle 28 is to prevent the lock seat 26 from rotating excessively downward, ensuring the normal operation of the locking mechanism. The limiting baffle 28 has a thickness of 5mm, and its length is designed according to actual needs to ensure that it can effectively perform its limiting function.
[0069] Meanwhile, one end of the locking arm 25 is equipped with a handle 251, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lock seat 26. The handle 251 is covered with rubber material, providing a comfortable grip and anti-slip effect, making it easy for the operator to rotate the locking arm 25 forcefully. The rotatable connection between the locking arm 25 and the lock seat 26 uses a rolling bearing to reduce friction and improve operational flexibility.
[0070] This optimized design gives the clamping support assembly 2 better stability and ease of operation, enabling it to more firmly fix the drilling machine to the rail and improve the accuracy and quality of drilling.
[0071] In use, first align the clamping plate 22 of the lithium-ion rail drilling machine with the side wall of the rail, so that the clamping groove 221 engages with the side wall of the rail. Then, rotate the handle 251 on the locking arm 25, so that the locking arm 25 rotates in the thread direction, causing the lower part of the clamping arm 24 to rotate around the connection between the clamping arm 24 and the connecting plate 23, thereby cooperating with the clamping plate 22 to clamp the rail.
[0072] Once the rail is securely clamped, the drive motor 3 is started, and the drive motor 3 drives the drill bit 5 to rotate via the transmission mechanism 6. Then, the operator pushes the adjusting handle 66 to rotate the adjusting gear 65, which in turn moves the adjusting rack 64, the transmission sleeve 62, and the transmission shaft 61, thereby controlling the drill bit 5 to feed towards the rail and begin drilling.
[0073] If a water cooling system is used, before starting drilling, connect the water inlet pipe 71 to the water source, open the water valve, and spray cooling water through the spray nozzle 72 onto the drilling area to cool the drill bit 5 and the drilling area.
[0074] After drilling is completed, the operator reverses the adjustment handle 66 to retract the drill bit 5. Then, the operator reverses the handle 251 on the locking arm 25 to release the clamping mechanism and remove the drilling machine from the rail.
[0075] Throughout the operation, the design of the connecting plate 23 and the lock seat 26 ensures that the locking mechanism has sufficient freedom, allowing the locking arm 25 to extend and retract more freely and operate more conveniently, while also ensuring that the rail positioning is more accurate.
[0076] It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific structure disclosed in the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art, inspired by the technical solution of this utility model, can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions, such as changing the specific form of the gear set, adopting other types of feeding mechanisms (such as a lead screw and nut mechanism), adjusting the specific linkage arrangement or driving method of the clamping assembly, selecting different types and capacities of batteries and motors, etc. As long as these modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, they should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
