[0023] The following description provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various features of this application. The elements and arrangements described in the specific examples below are only for concise expression of this application and are merely examples, not intended to limit this application.
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this application.
[0025] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only for distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0026] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above or below" a first feature may include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on" a first feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" a first feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0027] The first aspect of this application provides an irregularly shaped door post, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, it includes: a column 10, which is a hollow structure; the cross-sectional shape of the column 10 is an inverted convex shape. For example, the column 10 is formed by connecting the upper side 11, the first side 12, the lower side 20, and the second side 18 in sequence to form a closed structure.
[0028] In this application, the length direction is the x-direction and the width direction is the y-direction. The lower side 20 is formed by connecting the first horizontal side 13, the first vertical side 14, the second horizontal side 15, the second vertical side 16, and the third horizontal side 17 end to end along the length direction to form a bent structure; wherein, along the width direction, the first horizontal side 13 and the third horizontal side 17 are staggered.
[0029] For example, the upper side 11 is arranged along the x-direction, and the two ends of the upper side 11 are perpendicularly connected to the first side 12 and the second side 18, respectively. The first horizontal side 13 is arranged along the x-direction, and the first horizontal side 13 is located between the first side 12 and the first vertical side 14. The two ends of the first horizontal side 13 are perpendicularly connected to the first side 12 and the first vertical side 14, respectively. The two ends of the second horizontal side 15 are perpendicularly connected to the first vertical side 14 and the second vertical side 16, respectively. The second horizontal side 15, the first vertical side 14 and the second vertical side 16 form a U-shape. The two ends of the third horizontal side 17 are perpendicularly connected to the second side 18 and the second vertical side 16, respectively.
[0030] Preferably, in the y-direction, the first horizontal edge 13 and the third horizontal edge 17 are at different dimensions, that is, in the y-direction, the first horizontal edge 13 and the third horizontal edge 17 are at different distances relative to the upper edge 11.
[0031] Therefore, the irregular door post provided in this application has an inverted convex cross section, and the first horizontal side 13 and the third horizontal side 17 are staggered in the width direction. The door post design is simple, the processing technology is simple, the weight is reduced, and the strength is significantly improved.
[0032] According to some alternative embodiments, along the x-direction, the length of the first horizontal side 13 is greater than the length of the third horizontal side 17. This allows for increased door movement space while maintaining precise alignment with the side walls, based on stress balance.
[0033] According to some alternative embodiments, along the x-direction, the length of the second horizontal side 15 is less than the length of the third horizontal side 17, that is, the length of the second horizontal side 15 is less than the length of the first horizontal side 13 and the length of the third horizontal side 17. For example, the length of the second horizontal side 15 is 0mm-15mm.
[0034] According to some alternative embodiments, in the y direction, the misalignment distance d1 between the first horizontal side 13 and the third horizontal side 17 is greater than the misalignment distance d2 between the second horizontal side 15 and the third horizontal side 17, that is, the length of the first vertical side 14 is greater than the length of the second vertical side 16, so as to avoid the protrusion formed by the second horizontal side 15 and the second vertical side 16 being too high, resulting in uneven force distribution.
[0035] According to some alternative embodiments, the first side 12 is smaller in width direction than the second side 18, which can save the installation space of the door, reduce weight, and ensure a perfect fit between the doorway and the door and side wall.
[0036] According to some optional embodiments, the first vertical edge 14 and the second vertical edge 16 located on both sides of the second horizontal edge 15 are arranged in parallel, and the first vertical edge 14 and the second vertical edge 16 may overlap, such as... Figure 2As shown, the gap between the first vertical side 14 and the second vertical side 16 is 0mm-3mm.
[0037] According to some optional embodiments, the connection between the upper side 11, the first side 12, the lower side 20, and the second side 18 is a rounded transition to avoid stress concentration.
[0038] According to some alternative embodiments, a plurality of process holes are provided at intervals on the first vertical side 14 and the third horizontal side 17. For example, the number and position distribution of the process holes can be arranged according to the requirements of welding and weight reduction of the column.
[0039] According to some alternative embodiments, the column 10 is made of stainless steel.
[0040] In the above scheme, the material of column 10 is set as stainless steel. Stainless steel has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high strength and strong plasticity, which can make column 10 have higher strength.
[0041] The second aspect of this application provides a railcar doorway structure, including the aforementioned irregularly shaped doorpost. The railcar doorway structure also includes an outer panel, with the irregularly shaped doorpost welded to the outer panel. Compared to traditional doorway structures, this design is simpler, improves the strength and rigidity of the doorway structure, thereby meeting the load-bearing requirements of the doorway, resulting in a more concise doorway structure and more uniform force transmission.
