Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rail transit equipment manufacturing, specifically relating to an axle rolling device, which uses a rolling head rotary table to strengthen the irregular curved surfaces of the axle body of rail vehicles using corresponding rolling heads. Background Technology

[0002] As a core load-bearing component of the running gear, the surface integrity of the axle of a rail vehicle directly affects the vehicle's load-bearing performance and operational safety. Under complex operating conditions, the axle is subjected to cyclic impact loads caused by track joints and alternating stresses generated by running bumps. It is constantly under high load and sliding friction coupling, which easily induces fatigue cracks on its surface. The progressive propagation of these cracks eventually leads to fatigue failure of the component. Therefore, improving the wear resistance and fatigue resistance of axle materials through surface modification has significant engineering value.

[0003] Current finishing processes primarily employ grinding technology to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of axles. However, the residual tensile stress induced by this process significantly weakens the fatigue strength and corrosion resistance of the material, becoming a potential cause of crack initiation. To address this technical bottleneck, the engineering field widely adopts roll forming for surface modification. This technology achieves a three-tiered strengthening mechanism through controlled plastic deformation: first, the surface metal undergoes plastic flow to form a dense fibrous structure; second, increased dislocation density induces work hardening; and third, a gradient residual compressive stress field is constructed. This composite strengthening effect can simultaneously improve surface hardness, enhance wear resistance, and improve fatigue resistance, thereby effectively optimizing the service performance of axles.

[0004] The existing axle rolling strengthening process used by rail vehicle axle manufacturers has certain limitations: most manufacturers use CNC lathes or manual labor to clamp small arc rolling tools in the tool post position of ordinary lathes to strengthen the surface of the arc and straight sections of the axle. CNC lathes are only suitable for polishing and rolling operations below 5kN; due to the low rolling force, the strengthening effect is not significant enough to meet the demands of modern high-strength axle rolling strengthening. Furthermore, different axle types and sections require adjustments to the angle and position of the rolling tools, making the operation complex and costly in terms of manpower and resources, thus hindering the transformation and upgrading of the rail transit equipment manufacturing industry towards an intelligent and flexible production model. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an axle rolling device. This device uses a rotary rolling head to efficiently meet the high-strength rolling requirements of arc and straight sections of different axle types, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the axle rolling process, improving the rolling strengthening quality of the axle, and significantly enhancing the fatigue resistance of the axle surface. This provides a new technological paradigm for the full life-cycle reliability of key components in rail transit.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an axle rolling device, including a rotating body, a rolling head, and an oil distribution device; the rotating body is arranged above the machine tool feed mechanism, the rolling head is installed on the rotating body, and the oil distribution device is installed on the rolling head; the rolling head is arranged in a back-to-back configuration to form a group, and can be switched on the rotating body.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating body includes a rotary table, a column, a servo motor, bearings, a worm gear, and a hydraulic cylinder body; the rotary table is mounted on the column via bearings, the worm gear is mounted on the bottom cylindrical surface of the rotary table via a key and engages with the worm, the hydraulic cylinder body is mounted on the rotary table via screws, and the motor is mounted outside the column and connected to the worm.

[0008] Furthermore, the rolling head includes a piston rod, a roller shaft, rolling rollers, bearings, guide sleeves, a cylinder head, sealing rings, guide keys, and roller end caps. Cylinder heads are installed on both sides of the cylinder body, and guide sleeves are installed on the cylinder heads. After the sealing rings are installed on the piston rod, it is inserted into the cylinder body. The roller shaft is fixed to the piston rod.

The bearings are tightened by set screws through threaded holes on the piston rod. Two guide keys are provided on the grooves on both sides of the guide sleeve. The rolling rollers at both ends of the cylinder body are fixed to the roller shaft by two back-to-back tapered roller bearings.

[0009] Furthermore, the oil distribution device includes a rotary shaft, bearings, flanges, end caps, and rotary joints. The rotary shaft is mounted on the cylinder body and is connected to the column via bearings. The end caps and rotary joints are mounted on the rotary shaft.
