Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail transport vehicles, specifically to a rail transport vehicle for railway track shunting. Background Technology
[0002] In railway maintenance, replacing rails requires transporting both old and new rails. Currently, this work relies on manpower and wheelbarrows. Traditional rail transport, for example, of a 25m rail, requires 8-10 experienced and well-coordinated workers, each carrying a wheelbarrow. Using a lever, each worker applies even pressure and pushes the rail at the same speed. A single transport of 500m takes an ideal 45 minutes. This traditional method is inefficient, poses significant safety hazards, and is unsuitable for transporting rails over long distances when the workforce is small. Furthermore, in remote or complex terrain, manual rail transport faces difficulties navigating the track center or shoulders, as well as the risk of injury.
[0003] Therefore, designing a railway track transport vehicle that can operate continuously without human intervention, travel smoothly, and generate high economic benefits has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rail transport vehicle for railway lines. Through adjustment components and guide rails, it can clamp the transported rails without causing secondary movement. Compared with the traditional rail transport trolley with one clamp per vehicle, the structure of two clamping components has high transport efficiency and stable transport, reduces the labor intensity of workers, saves labor costs, and improves economic benefits.
[0005] A railway track transport vehicle includes a frame with rail wheels underneath; a guide rail on top of the frame; an adjustment assembly including a rotation adjustment component and a height adjustment component, the rotation adjustment component being slidably mounted on the guide rail, and one end of the height adjustment component being rotatably connected to the rotation adjustment component; a main rod rotatably connected to the other end of the height adjustment component; and two clamping assemblies, each including a sleeve, a fixing component, a connecting component, and a rail clamp. The sleeve is fitted onto the main rod and fixedly connected to the main rod through the fixing component, and the rail clamp is connected to the sleeve through the connecting component.
[0006] Furthermore, in this invention, the aforementioned height adjustment component is connected to the middle of the main rod, and the two clamping assemblies are respectively located at both ends of the main rod. The two clamping assemblies can clamp both ends of the rail to maintain balance, thereby facilitating transportation.
[0007] Furthermore, in this utility model, the aforementioned fixing component is a fixing screw, and the sleeve has a screw hole. The fixing screw, in conjunction with the screw hole, fixes the sleeve to the main rod. The sleeve can move on the main rod to adjust the position of the rail clamp for easy rail clamping. Once the sleeve is in a suitable position, the fixing screw is screwed into the corresponding screw hole on the sleeve to achieve relative fixation between the sleeve and the main rod.
[0008] Furthermore, in this invention, the main rod is provided with multiple screw holes or through holes corresponding to the fixing screws. When fixing the sleeve, the fixing screws can be screwed into suitable screw holes or through holes to improve the fixing effect.
[0009] Furthermore, in this invention, a handle is provided at one end of the main rod, and the handle is detachably connected to the main rod. The handle facilitates transportation by workers; in addition, the detachable design makes it easy for workers to carry.
[0010] Furthermore, in this invention, the connecting member is a flexible member, including but not limited to chains, ropes, and belts. Using a flexible member provides high flexibility and adaptability during use.
[0011] Furthermore, in this invention, the guide rail is detachably connected to the vehicle frame. This detachable design facilitates carrying by workers.
[0012] This utility model has at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention achieves six-way adjustment through guide rails and adjustment components, enabling clamping of transported steel rails without secondary movement. At the same time, the structure of the two clamping components improves transportation efficiency and stability compared to the traditional rail transport trolley with one clamp per rail, reduces the workload of workers, saves labor costs, and enhances economic benefits.

[0024] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] This embodiment provides a railway track shunting and transport vehicle, such as... Figures 1-3 and Figure 5As shown, it includes a frame 1 with rail wheels 2 mounted underneath; a guide rail 3 mounted on top of the frame 1; an adjustment assembly 4 including a rotation adjustment component 41 and a height adjustment component 42, the rotation adjustment component 41 being slidably mounted on the guide rail 3, and one end of the height adjustment component 42 being rotatably connected to the rotation adjustment component 41; a main rod 5 rotatably connected to the other end of the height adjustment component 42; and two clamping assemblies 6, each including a sleeve 61, a fixing component 62, a connecting component 63, and a rail clamp 64. The sleeve 61 is fitted onto the main rod 5 and fixedly connected to the main rod 5 via the fixing component 62, and the rail clamp 64 is connected to the sleeve 61 via the connecting component 63.
[0027] In this embodiment, the frame 1 provides overall support, and four track wheels 2 are installed below it, enabling the frame 1 to run stably on the track. A guide rail 3 is installed on the top of the frame 1, and the adjustment component 4 is slidably installed on the guide rail 3. The adjustment component 4 is used to adjust the position of the main rod 5, wherein the rotation adjustment component 41 can rotate 360°, and the height adjustment component 42 can adjust the height of the main rod 5 by 140°. The clamping component 6 is installed on the main rod 5, wherein the sleeve 61 can be freely adjusted on the main rod 5, the fixing component 62 is used to fix the sleeve 61 after adjustment, and the connecting component 63 is used to connect the sleeve 61 and the rail clamp 64. The rail clamp 64 can be clamped on the rail by adjusting the connecting component 63 to a suitable length for easy transportation.
[0028] Specifically, the height adjustment component 42 is connected to the middle of the main rod 5, and the two clamping components 6 are located at both ends of the main rod 5. The two clamping components 6 can clamp the two ends of the rail to maintain balance, thereby facilitating transportation.
[0029] In use, first push the frame 1 above the rail to be transported, and slide the adjusting component 4 along with the main rod 5 on the guide rail 3 to a suitable position. Then, adjust the position of the main rod 5 by sliding the component to facilitate the clamping component 6 to clamp the rail. Finally, adjust the position of the sleeve 61 on the main rod 5 to adjust the position of the rail clamp 64 so that the rail clamp 64 can easily clamp the rail. After clamping the rail, the worker can push the frame 1 through the main rod 5 to complete the rail transport operation.
[0030] It should be noted that this embodiment achieves six-way arbitrary adjustment through 140° height adjustment, 360° rotation adjustment, and guide rail 3, allowing the transported rail to be clamped directly from any position without secondary movement. Furthermore, this embodiment has two rail clamps 64, increasing efficiency by half compared to the traditional one-clamp-per-carriage system of rail transport trolleys. Theoretically, the stable frame 1 and the ground-based four-wheel structure are more stable than traditional transport methods, even capable of replacing the work of three manually operated rail transport trolleys, significantly improving work efficiency. Preliminary test data shows that in rail replacement operations of the same scale, using this embodiment can reduce adjustment time by nearly 50%, and the average transport time per rail is reduced from 3 hours to about 1 hour, enabling medium- and long-distance transport.
[0031] In the above embodiments, the connector 63 is a flexible component, including but not limited to at least one of a chain, rope, and belt. The use of a flexible component provides high flexibility and adaptability during use; furthermore, the flexible component is easy to adjust in length, allowing the rail clamp 64 to be secured to the rail by adjusting the connector 63 to a suitable length for easy transportation.
[0032] In contrast, traditional rail-carrying trolleys require 7-8 experienced and well-coordinated workers, each carrying one trolley and using evenly distributed force for transport. This results in a large amount of equipment being carried and high maintenance costs. This embodiment reduces the labor intensity of workers, reduces the number of items carried, and thus reduces maintenance pressure, resulting in higher economic benefits.
[0033] In another implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting component 4 and the main rod 5 can be set to two, and correspondingly, the number of clamping components 6 is increased to four. In this embodiment, two rails can be transported outside the rail at the same time.
[0034] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the number of adjusting components 4, main rod 5 and clamping components 6 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and multiple rails can be transported within a reasonable load range to improve transportation efficiency.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] This embodiment provides a railway track shunting and transport vehicle, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it is basically the same as Embodiment 1, with the main difference being that the fixing member 62 is a fixing screw, and the sleeve 61 has a screw hole 7. The fixing screw, in conjunction with the screw hole 7, fixes the sleeve 61 to the main rod 5. The sleeve 61 can move on the main rod 5 to adjust the position of the rail clamp 64 for easy clamping of the rail. When the sleeve 61 is in a suitable position, the fixing screw is screwed into the corresponding screw hole 7 on the sleeve 61 to achieve relative fixation between the sleeve 61 and the main rod 5.
[0037] In this embodiment, the main rod 5 has multiple screw holes 7 or through holes corresponding to the fixing screws. When fixing the sleeve 61, the fixing screws can be screwed into the appropriate screw holes 7 or through holes to improve the fixing effect.
[0038] Preferably, the screw holes 7 on the main rod 5 are evenly distributed and can meet the travel of the sleeve 61.
[0039] In another embodiment, the fixing member 62 can be a fixing pin, the sleeve 61 can be provided with a pin hole, and the main rod 5 can be provided with multiple pin holes, thereby achieving a fixing effect similar to the above embodiment.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] This embodiment provides a railway track shunting and transport vehicle, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it is basically the same as Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the main difference being that: one end of the main rod 5 is also provided with a handle 8, which is detachably connected to the main rod 5. The handle 8 facilitates transportation by workers; in addition, the detachable design makes it easy for workers to carry.
[0042] In another embodiment, the guide rail 3 is detachably connected to the frame 1. This detachable design makes it convenient for workers to carry.
[0043] This embodiment solves the shortcomings of traditional integrated rail-mounted trolleys that are difficult to carry and store, and has the advantages of simple assembly and disassembly, which can be carried and assembled by a single person and has a low learning cost.
[0044] In summary, the embodiments of this utility model provide a railway track transport vehicle, which has at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0045] This utility model achieves six-way adjustment through guide rail 3 and adjustment component 4, which can clamp the transported steel rail without it being moved twice. At the same time, the structure of the two clamping components 6 improves the transportation efficiency and stability compared with the traditional rail transport trolley with one clamp per trolley, reduces the labor intensity of workers, saves labor costs, and improves economic benefits.
[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
