[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0037] Hopper car transportation has advantages such as high unloading efficiency, low overall investment, low daily operating costs, and good working conditions. Using hopper cars to transport bulk cargo such as coal is a relatively economical transportation method, which has become a consensus among foreign railway transportation companies. Especially on lines that are close to mining areas, have large transport volumes, and have fixed coal transport sections, the overall transportation benefits are even more obvious.

[0038] Currently, hopper cars use steel bodies, resulting in significant weight and relatively small volume and load capacity. To achieve greater transportation efficiency, railway transport companies urgently require lightweight designs for railway freight cars to increase their load per linear meter.

[0039] Based on this, this application discloses a hopper car body, in which the side walls and end walls of the car body are made of fiber-reinforced resin matrix composite material, thereby reducing the weight of the car body while ensuring its strength.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the truck body of this application embodiment includes: a chassis 1, a side wall 2, a bottom door opening and closing mechanism 3, a bottom door 4, and an end wall 5.

[0041] The side wall 2 extends along a first direction, and the end wall 5 extends along a second direction. Both the side wall 2 and the end wall 5 are mounted on the base frame 1. The first and second directions are intersecting directions. Optionally, the first and second directions are perpendicular and parallel to the plane of the base frame 1. Optionally, the third direction in this paper is a direction perpendicular to the base frame 1, which can be understood as the height direction of the hopper car.

[0042] In some embodiments, there are two side walls 2 and two end walls 5, with the two side walls 2 arranged opposite each other along a second direction and the two end walls 5 arranged opposite each other along a first direction. The side walls 2 and end walls 5 are arranged alternately and are sequentially fixedly connected to form a closed structure. The side walls 2, end walls 5, and the underframe 1 enclose the cargo space of the truck body, which is used to place the goods transported by the truck. It should be noted that, in this document, the side walls 2 and end walls 5 are sequentially connected to form the side panels of the truck body.

[0043] The hopper car has a unloading hopper opening at the bottom of the car body between two bogies (not shown in the figure), and a bottom door 4 is provided at the unloading hopper opening. The bottom door 4 is connected to the bottom door opening and closing mechanism 3.

[0044] After the bottom door 4 is opened by the bottom door opening and closing mechanism 3, the bulk cargo loaded inside the car falls under the weight of the cargo and flows out through the hopper opening. The car body of the hopper car not only needs to bear the pressure load of the bulk cargo inside the car, but also needs to withstand the inertial impact load generated by the train starting, braking, curves, slopes, acceleration, deceleration and other conditions during the operation of the vehicle.

[0045] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, both the side wall 2 and the end wall 5 include a first structural layer 10 and a second structural layer 20 stacked together. Both the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 are fiber composite material layers. The side of the first structural layer 10 facing away from the second structural layer 20 is closer to the accommodating space, while the side of the second structural layer 20 facing away from the first structural layer 10 is farther from the accommodating space.

[0046] Optionally, the fiber composite layer includes fibers and a thermoplastic resin matrix. The fibers can be carbon fiber, glass fiber, or aramid fiber, and the thermoplastic resin matrix can be polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or nylon (PA). It is understood that in this embodiment, the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 are made of carbon fiber composite material or fiber-reinforced resin matrix composite material.

[0047] The hopper car body provided in this embodiment effectively reduces the weight of the car body by using a first structural layer 10 and a second structural layer 20 made of fiber composite material, thereby reducing the overall weight of the hopper car body. This facilitates the application of the lightweight design of the hopper car body provided in this embodiment and improves transportation economic efficiency.

[0048] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the side wall 2 in this embodiment includes: side wall body 201, transition area 202 and edge area 203.

[0049] The sidewall body 201 is the main structure of the sidewall 2, and its shape can be customized to match the required shape of the sidewall 2 of the funnel cart. In this embodiment, an interlayer 30 is filled between the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 of the sidewall body 201. The interlayer 30 between the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 of the sidewall body 201 can improve the strength of the sidewall body 201, thereby giving the sidewall 2 a higher load-bearing capacity.

[0050] Edge region 203 is the side of sidewall body 201. Optionally, the bottom surface and both sides of sidewall body 201 have edge region 203. In this embodiment, the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 located in edge region 203 are laminated together, so that edge region 203 forms a solid laminate structure.

[0051] The transition zone 202 is located between the sidewall body 201 and the edge zone 203, and connects the sidewall body 201 and the edge zone 203. The dimension of the transition zone 202 extending between the sidewall body 201 and the edge zone 203 is not specifically limited. In this embodiment, an interlayer 30 is filled between the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 in the transition zone 202, and the thickness of the interlayer 30 in the transition zone 202 gradually decreases from the sidewall body 201 towards the edge zone 203. The interlayer 30 between the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 of the transition zone 202 improves the strength of the transition zone 202, thereby giving the sidewall 2 a higher load-bearing capacity. The variation in the thickness of the interlayer 30 in the transition zone 202 serves to connect the sidewall body 201 and the edge zone 203 using the transition zone 202.

[0052] It should be noted that the interlayer 30 in this paper can be formed of foam material, that is, by filling the space between the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 with rigid closed-cell foam (rigid closed-cell PMI (polymethacrylimide) foam) or other types of foam to form a filled interlayer 30. By setting the interlayer 30, it is possible to withstand pressure loads (such as the lateral pressure loads exerted on the end wall panel 501 by bulk cargo such as coal inside the vehicle).

[0053] The first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 of the sidewall 2 can be constructed using a laminated design of 2mm to 4mm thick carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composite material. Specifically, at least one of the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 is formed by laminating multiple composite material layers using a laminated design. Multiple fiber layers are laid up along the thickness direction of the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 at specific angles (e.g., 0°, ±45°, 90°, etc.) and in a specific sequence, and then bonded together by resin curing to form a composite material laminate (first structural layer 10 or second structural layer 20). Combined with the thickness of the filling interlayer 30, the thickness of the sidewall main body 201 can range from 30mm to 50mm. The thickness of the edge region 203 is the sum of the thicknesses of the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20. The thickness of the end of the transition zone 202 that connects to the side wall body 201 is the same as the thickness of the side wall body 201, and the thickness of the end of the transition zone 202 that connects to the edge zone 203 is the same as the thickness of the edge zone 203.

[0054] Taking carbon fiber composites as an example, the tensile strength of carbon fiber composites can generally reach over 1000 MPa, while the existing hopper car bodies are generally made of Q450NQR1 high-strength steel (tensile strength of 550 MPa) or 6061-T6 aluminum alloy (tensile strength of 265 MPa). Therefore, using carbon fiber composites can achieve both lightweighting of the car body and increased strength reserves. Furthermore, the density of carbon fiber composites is only 1 / 4 that of steel and 2 / 3 that of aluminum alloy, thus adapting to the increasing load requirements of railway freight cars, especially heavy-haul freight cars.

[0055] In some embodiments, the sidewall 2 closest to the accommodating space is flat, without any protrusions or corner structures. This can be understood as the first structural layer 10 of the sidewall main body 201, the first structural layer 10 of the edge area 203, and the first structural layer 10 of the transition area 202 being flush. The flatness of the sidewall 2 closest to the accommodating space avoids the possibility of accumulation or freezing of bulk goods such as coal.

[0056] The outer side of the side wall 2 has a stepped planar structure, and the second structural layer 20 of the main body of the side wall 201 protrudes away from the first structural layer 10 based on the first structural layer 10.

[0057] This embodiment eliminates the side pillars of the plate-and-column structure vehicle body sidewall, so that only the necessary safety margin needs to be left between the sidewall 2 and the vehicle clearance. The vehicle clearance can be fully utilized, and compared with the existing technical solution, the vehicle has a larger carrying space under the same vehicle length and height conditions.

[0058] Combination Figures 7 to 9As shown, the end wall 5 in this embodiment includes: an end wall plate 501, a support assembly 502, and a connecting seat 503. The end wall plate 501 includes an end wall body 5011 and an upper connecting plate 5012. The end wall body 5011 includes a first region 01 and a second region 02.

[0059] The end wall body 5011 is mounted on the base frame 1 and is arranged at an angle relative to the plane of the base frame 1. One end of the support component 502 is mounted on the base frame 1, and the angle of the support component 502 is opposite to that of the end wall body 5011. The end of the support component 502 away from the base frame 1 is connected to the end wall body 5011.

[0060] The support component 502 is tilted in the opposite direction to the end wall body 5011 and is connected to it, so that the support component 502, the end wall body 5011 and the base frame 1 are connected in a triangular structure, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the end wall body 5011.

[0061] The upper connecting plate 5012 is connected to the end of the end wall body 5011 away from the base frame 1, and the connecting seat 503 is located at the end of the upper connecting plate 5012 away from the base frame 1.

[0062] In this embodiment, an interlayer 30 is filled between the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 located in the first region 01 on the end wall body 5011, and the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 located in the second region 02 are connected.

[0063] The materials of the first structural layer 10, the second structural layer 20, and the interlayer 30 can be found in the foregoing.

[0064] like Figure 9 As shown, the first region 01 of the end wall body 5011 includes at least: an upper mezzanine region 50111 and a lower mezzanine region 50112. The second region 02 of the end wall body 5011 includes at least: an upper connecting plate 5012, an intermediate connecting region 50113, a lower connecting region 50114, and a side connecting region 50115.

[0065] The upper mezzanine region 50111 and the lower mezzanine region 50112 are arranged along the height direction of the end wall body 5011. The upper mezzanine region 50111 is connected to the upper connecting plate 5012, and the lower mezzanine region 50112 is connected to the base frame 1.

[0066] The intermediate connecting region 50113 is located between the upper mezzanine region 50111 and the lower mezzanine region 50112. Optionally, the support component 502 is connected to the intermediate connecting region 50113. The connection between the intermediate connecting region 50113 and the support component 502 facilitates the formation of a support point in the middle part of the end wall plate 501 along the height direction (which can be at the exact center or not at the exact center, but rather between the two sides of the end wall plate 501 along the height direction), thereby effectively improving the support effect of the end wall plate 501 and reducing the bending deformation of the end wall plate 501.

[0067] The lower connecting area 50114 is located on the side of the lower mezzanine area 50112 away from the upper mezzanine area 50111. The end wall plate 501 is connected to the base frame 1 through the lower connecting area 50114. Optionally, the lower connecting area 50114 and the base frame 1 are connected by riveting or other means to achieve the effect of fixing the bottom of the end wall plate 501.

[0068] The side connection areas 50115 are located at the two edges of the first area 01, and the first area 01 is located between the two side connection areas 50115. The side connection areas 50115 can be connected to the side wall 2 of the vehicle body by riveting or other means to achieve the fixing effect on both sides of the opposite end wall panel 501.

[0069] The upper connecting plate 5012 can be arranged perpendicular to the base frame 1. Both ends of the upper connecting plate 5012 along the second direction are provided with...

[0070] Since the connecting seat 503 is connected to the top edge of the upper connecting plate 5012, the connecting seat 503 can be higher than the end wall plate 501. When the end wall plate 501 is assembled with the vehicle body, the side beam connected to the side wall 2 of the vehicle body can be connected to the connecting seat 503 to achieve a connection and fixation of the top of the end wall plate 501. This allows the height of the side wall 2 to be higher than the height of the end wall plate 501; that is, the side wall 2 and the end wall 5 are not of equal height, and the height of the side wall 2 is higher than the end wall 5. This allows for adaptation to the loading height requirements of a hopper car with an increased vehicle body height (increased side wall 2 height) without changing the height of the end wall 5 of the hopper car. When the height of the upper side beam of the side wall 2 (located in the area above the side wall 2) is higher than the end wall plate 501, the end wall plate 501 can be connected to the upper side beam via the connecting seat 503 through riveting or welding to achieve a fixing effect on the top of the end wall plate 501.

[0071] The side of the end wall panel 501 closest to the accommodating space is flat, without any protrusions or corner structures. This can be understood as the first structural layer 10 of the first region 01 and the second region 02 of the end wall panel 501 being flush. The flatness of the side of the end wall panel 501 closest to the accommodating space prevents the accumulation or freezing of bulk goods such as coal. Furthermore, the flatness of the side of the end wall panel 501 closest to the accommodating space also facilitates the unloading of granular goods by moving along the inner side of the end wall panel 501 under gravity.

[0072] To reduce stress concentration, a transition region (not shown in the figure) can be provided between the first region 01 and the second region 02, with an interlayer 30 between the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 located in the transition region. The thickness of the interlayer 30 in the transition region decreases from the first region 01 to the second region 02. The thickness of the interlayer 30 in the transition region near the first region 01 is the same as the thickness of the interlayer 30 in the first region 01. That is, the cross-section of the portion of the first structural layer 10 corresponding to the first region 01 and the transition region can be a trapezoidal structure, and the interlayer 30 in the transition region and the interlayer 30 in the first region 01 can be an integral structure, so that a structural transition is formed from the first region 01 to the second region 02, avoiding stress concentration. It can be understood that from the first region 01 to the second region 02, the interlayer 30 forms a sloping structure, and the first region 01 with the interlayer 30 gradually and uniformly transitions to the second region 02, which is a solid laminate.

[0073] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first region 01 of the end wall panel 501 ranges from 40mm to 70mm, and the thickness of the second region 02 is the sum of the thicknesses of the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20.

[0074] In this embodiment, both the end wall plate 501 and the side wall 2 can be integrally hot-pressed structures, with the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 connected by hot pressing. That is, the end wall plate 501 and the side wall 2 can each be integrally molded to form a composite material sandwich structure, improving the bending strength of the end wall plate 501 and the side wall 2 in all directions. Furthermore, by setting the end wall plate 501 and the side wall 2 as integrally hot-pressed structures, the number of parts in the hopper car body is significantly reduced, and the manufacturing processes such as welding or riveting during car body processing are reduced, effectively simplifying the manufacturing process of the hopper car body and shortening the production cycle of the hopper car body.

[0075] In some embodiments, taking the first structural layer 10 and the second structural layer 20 as using 2mm to 4mm thick carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composite prepreg, and the interlayer 30 as using rigid closed-cell PMI foam, in the process of integrally thermoforming the composite sandwich structure, firstly, the prepreg of the second structural layer 20 is laid layer by layer on the pre-made mold surface to a specified thickness. Then, a foam layer of a specified shape is applied to the laid second structural layer 20. Next, the prepreg of the first structural layer 10 is laid on the foam layer and the second structural layer 20 to a specified thickness. Then, the completed composite sandwich structure assembly, together with the mold, is placed in a thermostatic precipitator or oven. The intermediate connecting area is heated and pressurized in the thermostatic precipitator for a certain period of time until the resin matrix material completes the chemical curing reaction, and the composite sandwich structure forms an integral structure. Finally, the cured composite sandwich structure blank is demolded, polished, and punctured, etc., to complete the processing and manufacturing of the side wall 2 or end wall 5 of the composite sandwich structure.

[0076] It should be noted that the materials used in the vehicle body of this embodiment for the parts that come into contact with coal and other goods (side wall 2 and end wall 5) are non-metallic fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials, which have better thermal insulation performance than metal materials. This can significantly improve the problem of coal freezing during winter transportation of coal trucks and improve the unloading efficiency of the vehicle.

[0077] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the support assembly 502 includes an end plate 5021 and an end column 5022.

[0078] One end of the end plate 5021 is connected to the end wall plate 501, and the other end is connected to the base frame 1. The end plate 5021 is arranged at an angle to the plane of the base frame 1.

[0079] The end post 5022 is connected to the end plate 5021 and the end post 5022 extends along the height direction of the end plate 5021.

[0080] The side edge of the end plate 5021 can be aligned with the side edge of the end wall plate 501, that is, the dimension of the end plate 5021 along the second direction is the same as the dimension of the end wall plate 501 along the second direction. This arrangement increases the area of ​​the end plate 5021 supporting the end wall plate 501, thereby improving the stability of the end wall plate 501.

[0081] The number and size of the end posts 5022 can be set according to different needs. The end posts 5022 and the end plates 5021 can be welded or integrally formed.

[0082] like Figure 9 As shown, the body of the funnel car also includes a partition 6.

[0083] The partition 6 is installed in the accommodating space and is detachably connected to the side wall 2. The partition 6 is welded to the base frame 1.

[0084] By setting up partitions 6 and connecting them to the side walls 2 and the underframe 1, the connection rigidity between the side walls 2 on both sides of the vehicle body can be enhanced, increasing the resistance of the side walls 2 to external expansion.
