[0036] The present invention will now be described in detail.

Then, the loading mechanism 2 is used to vertically load the bogie 10 to simulate the bogie 10 bearing the weight of the locomotive in the vertical direction. Then, the first wheel drive of the bogie 10 is controlled to rotate. Since there is displacement between the bogie 10 and the single-wheel drive test bench 1 in three dimensions (vertical, lateral and longitudinal), it is possible to effectively simulate the operation of the locomotive under load, thereby simulating the performance status of each mechanism of the bogie 10 on the actual track and monitoring parameters such as stress, vibration and temperature of each part.

[0040] In some possible implementations, the single-wheel drive test bench 1 includes a support frame 11 for mounting the bogie 10, two sets of symmetrically arranged support columns 12, and a drive wheel pair mounted on the support columns 12 and located at the bottom of the support frame 11; the support frame 11 is disposed between the two sets of support columns 12.

[0051] In some possible implementations, the two-end fasteners include fastener A for connecting the two-end frame beam 102 of the bogie 10 near the two-position wheel drive 105, and fastener B32 for connecting the side beam 103 of the frame near the end of the two-position wheel drive 105;

[0052] The fastener A includes a support seat installed on the rail base 112, a U-shaped clamp installed on the bogie 10, and a connecting ring with one end connected to the U-shaped clamp and the other end connected to the support seat.

[0053] The fixing component B32 includes a connecting plate 321 mounted on the rail base 112, an annular steel cable 322 connected to the connecting plate 321 and connected to the end of the side beam 103 of the bogie 10 away from the first drive position, the annular steel cable 322 includes a steel wire rope and an annular buckle for connecting the two ends of the steel wire rope; the annular buckle has the same structure as the ring buckle 314.

[0054] Specifically, the plate body 3131, the connecting plate 321, and the support base are all connected to the rail base 112 by bolts;

[0055] Furthermore, when the plate body 3131, the connecting plate 321 and the rail base 112 are connected, the bolts are T-bolts, and the end with the nut will be located in the T-groove of the rail base 112.

[0056] The one-end fixing member 33 includes a support 331, a connector 332 mounted on the bogie 10, and a connecting rod 333 for connecting the support 331 and the connector 332; the connecting rod 333 is hinged to the support 331 and the connector 332 respectively and rotates around the vertical.

[0057] Specifically, the U-shaped clamp includes two sets of symmetrically arranged clamping plates with grooves. The two sets of grooves cooperate to form through slots that fit onto the two end frame beams 102 of the frame. The two sets of clamping plates are fixed by bolts. The two sets of clamping plates are provided with through holes, and the connecting ring will be fitted into the through holes. The support base is installed on the rail base 112 and is provided with a through hole. The axis of the through hole is set along the length of the rail 111, and the connecting ring is fitted into the through hole. The connecting ring is made of steel wire rope.

[0058] The one-end fixing member 33 includes a support 331, a connector 332 mounted on the bogie 10, and a connecting rod 333 for connecting the support 331 and the connector 332; the connecting rod 333 is hinged to the support 331 and the connector 332 respectively and rotates around the vertical.

[0059] Support 331 is fixedly installed on other support structures. One end of connecting rod 333 is hinged to support 331 through hinge seat, and the other end of connecting rod 333 is hinged to connector 332.

[0060] The connector 332 has the same structure as the U-shaped clip. The through groove formed by the connector 332 will be fitted onto the frame beam 101 at one end of the frame. The two sets of clips in the connector 332 form an installation groove close to each other on the side of the connecting rod 333. The end of the connecting rod 333 will be located in the installation groove and form a gap with the installation groove.

[0061] A hole is provided vertically on the hinge seat, and the connecting rod 333 and the hinge seat are connected by bolts through the hole to achieve hinge and vertical rotation.

[0062] Preferably, there are two sets of connectors 332, which are connected to the support 331 through two sets of connecting rods 333. The two sets of connecting rods 333 form a figure-eight structure, and the large end of the figure-eight structure is connected to the support 331. The connecting ring made of the annular steel cable 322 and the steel wire rope 311, the steel wire rope 311 of the fixing part 31, and the two sets of connecting rods 333 in the figure-eight structure will effectively fix the bogie 10 to the single-wheel drive test bench 1, and allow for displacement in the vertical, lateral and longitudinal directions, so as to effectively meet the working conditions required for simulating locomotive operation.

[0063] In some possible implementations, the loading mechanism 2 includes a gantry frame 21 mounted on two sets of support columns 12, a fixing member 22 mounted on the gantry frame 21, a vertical actuator 23 mounted on the fixing member 22 and moving vertically to apply load to the bogie 10, a crossbeam 24 connected to the bottom of the vertical actuator 23, and an abutment plate 25 mounted on the bottom of the crossbeam; the abutment plate 25 is correspondingly disposed above the side bearing 104 of the bogie 10.

[0064] Specifically, the fixing member 22 is used to connect the vertical actuator 23 to the gantry frame 21. When the side bearing 104 is not located directly below the top crossbeam of the gantry frame 21, an L-shaped structure can be used to connect the fixing member 22 to the vertical actuator 23, with one end connected to the top crossbeam of the gantry frame 21 and the other end connected to the vertical actuator 23. When the side bearing 104 is located directly below the top crossbeam of the gantry frame 21, the fixing member 22 can be directly connected to the vertical actuator 23.

[0065] During the simulation test, the vertical actuator 23 controls the crossbeam 24 to move closer to the bogie 10, thereby causing the abutment plate to move closer to the bogie 10, so that the abutment plate contacts the top surface of the side bearing 104. The vertical actuator 23 continuously applies force to realize the vertical loading of the bogie 10, simulating the bogie 10 bearing the weight of the car vertically. The drive wheelset drives one wheel drive to rotate, or the traction motor of the bogie 10 drives one wheel drive to rotate, thereby driving the drive wheelset to rotate, realizing the simulation of locomotive operation, thereby simulating the performance status of each mechanism on the actual line, and monitoring parameters such as stress, vibration, and temperature of each part.
