Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a positioning device for welding the crossbeam support of a three-part cast steel bogie. Background Technology
[0002] The three main components of a bogie are the basic bogie type for railway freight cars, which consists of two side frames and a bolster as its core components. The side frames serve as longitudinal supports and are dynamically connected to the wheelsets through axle box assemblies; the bolster is transversely mounted between the two side frames and is elastically supported by bolster spring assemblies.
[0003] The crossbeam is installed above the brake beam on the inner side of the side frame, close to and parallel to the bolster. Both ends are supported by crossbeam brackets on the side frame. It engages with the sensor valve contacts on the vehicle body via a crossbeam contact plate mechanism and is a crucial component of the vehicle's automatic empty / load adjustment system. This system is key to ensuring the rational distribution of braking force and providing appropriate braking force under different vehicle conditions.
[0004] To ensure effective contact and engagement between the crossbeam contact plate mechanism and the sensor valve contacts on the vehicle body, it is necessary to control the distance from the center of the crossbeam support to the center of the side frame, as well as the distance from the bottom of the crossbeam support to the spring surface of the side frame, to ensure accurate assembly of the crossbeam. Before welding, the crossbeam support needs to be positioned. However, traditional positioning methods typically involve scribing, which suffers from problems such as difficulty in controlling the scribing trajectory, inaccurate positioning, and low efficiency, making it difficult to ensure production schedules during mass production.

Observe that the base 1 and the side frame spring support are in close contact, and the positioning device and the column surface of the side frame 200 have no longitudinal deviation. That is, the center of the base 1 is consistent with the center of the side frame 200. Place the pad 5 on the positioning block 4, and then place the cross beam support 100 on the pad 5. Ensure that the bottom and side surfaces of the cross beam support 100 are in close contact with the pad 5 and the second vertical plate of the positioning block 4, respectively. At this time, the assembly welding dimensions of the cross beam support 100 can be guaranteed. Then, spot weld the cross beam support 100 and the side frame 200 for positioning (the spot welding position should not affect the removal of the positioning device). After the spot welding is completed, remove the positioning device and then continue to complete the full welding of the cross beam support 100.
