Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of urban rail transit construction technology, and in particular to a top connection structure for a platform screen door. Background Technology

[0002] The top connection structure of the platform screen door is a key load-bearing component between the platform screen door and the building structure (such as the roof beam).

[0003] During construction, the top beam may exhibit inconsistencies in height or unevenness along its length. Current technologies often employ rigid fixing designs for the top connection structure of platform screen doors. While rigid fixing structures ensure connection strength, they lack effective adjustment mechanisms, leading to repeated adjustments or on-site fabrication during installation. This not only severely impacts construction efficiency but also increases construction costs and complexity.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a top connection structure with multi-directional adjustment capabilities to meet the installation requirements in complex construction environments. Utility Model Content

[0008] A first adjusting member is provided between the first connector and the connecting column. The first adjusting member is configured to adjust the relative distance between the first connector and the connecting column along the vertical axis of the connecting column, so as to adjust the overall height of the top connecting structure.

[0009] The first connector has a waist-shaped connecting hole, the long axis of which is parallel to the length direction of the top beam, so as to allow the first connector to be adjusted in position relative to the top beam along the length direction of the top beam;

[0014] Furthermore, a first washer is provided between the nut of the bolt and the second connecting plate. The first washer is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bolt and abuts against the nut and the second connecting plate respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, the second adjusting member is a screw extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting column. The screw passes through the third connecting member. The third connecting member has a second nut on each side that is screwed to the screw. A second washer is provided between each second nut and the third connecting member.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting rod, one end of which is connected to a connecting column and the other end of which is connected to the main body of the platform door. A second reinforcing plate is provided between the connecting rod and the second connecting member. The second reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the connecting rod and the second connecting member respectively to enhance the connection strength between the two.

[0018] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] The platform screen door top connection structure provided in this application embodiment uses a vertically extending connecting column as the main body.

[0032] 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 some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. 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.

[0033] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0034] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0035] To address the technical problem of the lack of an effective adjustment mechanism in the top connection structure of existing technologies, this application provides a top connection structure for platform doors that has multi-directional adjustment capabilities. It can adapt to complex construction environments such as inconsistent top beam heights and uneven lengths, reducing repeated adjustments and on-site processing during installation, improving construction efficiency, and lowering construction costs and difficulties.

[0036] Figure 1 and Figure 2The top connection structure of a platform door provided in this application embodiment includes a vertically extending connecting column 4. The upper end of the connecting column 4 is provided with a first connecting member 1 for detachable connection with a top beam (not shown in the figure), and the lower end is provided with a second connecting member 2 for detachable connection with the platform door body (not shown in the figure).

[0037] A first adjusting member 101 is provided between the first connecting member 1 and the connecting column 4. The first adjusting member 101 is configured to adjust the relative distance between the first connecting member 1 and the connecting column 4 along the vertical axis of the connecting column 4, so as to adjust the overall height of the top connecting structure.

[0038] The first connector 1 has a waist-shaped connecting hole 111. The long axis of the waist-shaped connecting hole 111 is parallel to the length direction of the top beam, so as to allow the first connector 1 to be adjusted in position relative to the top beam along the length direction of the top beam.

[0039] At least one third connector 3 is provided vertically between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 on the connecting column 4. A second adjusting member 102 is provided between the third connector 3 and the top beam, extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting column 4. The second adjusting member 102 is configured to adjust the relative distance between the third connector 3 and the top beam in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting column 4.

[0040] In the above technical solution, the top connection structure uses the vertically extending connecting column 4 as the core supporting component. The upper end of the connecting column 4 is detachably connected to the top beam through the first connecting piece 1, and the lower end is detachably connected to the platform door body through the second connecting piece 2, thereby constructing a connecting bridge between the platform door and the top beam.

[0041] A first adjusting member 101 is provided between the first connecting member 1 and the connecting column 4. When it is necessary to adjust the overall height of the top connecting structure, the first adjusting member 101 is operated to move along the vertical axis of the connecting column 4, thereby changing the relative distance between the first connecting member 1 and the connecting column 4, so as to achieve the control of the height of the top connecting structure to adapt to the possible height differences of the top beam.

[0042] The first connector 1 has a specially designed waist-shaped connecting hole 111, and the long axis of the waist-shaped connecting hole 111 is parallel to the length direction of the top beam. During installation, the design of the waist-shaped connecting hole 111 allows the first connector 1 to move within a certain range relative to the top beam along the length direction of the top beam, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the platform door in the length direction of the top beam.

[0043] On the connecting column 4, at least one third connecting member 3 is vertically spaced between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2. Each third connecting member 3 is equipped with a second adjusting member 102 extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting column 4. When it is necessary to adjust the relative distance between the third connecting member 3 and the top beam in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting column 4 (i.e., horizontal direction), the second adjusting member 102 is operated to extend, retract, or move, thereby causing the position of the third connecting member 3 to change in the horizontal direction to accommodate any unevenness that may exist in the horizontal direction of the top beam.

[0044] Understandably, the top connection structure provided in this application, with its multi-dimensional adjustment functions such as height adjustment, length adjustment, and horizontal adjustment, can flexibly adapt to complex construction conditions and ensure that the platform door can be installed accurately and stably.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the first connecting member 1 includes a first connecting plate 11 and a second connecting plate 12 perpendicular to the first connecting plate 11. The first connecting plate 11 has an oblong connecting hole 111 and is connected to the top beam through the oblong connecting hole 111. The second connecting plate 12 is connected to the connecting column 4 through the first adjusting member 101.

[0046] During installation, the first connecting plate 11 is connected to the top beam through the oblong connecting hole 111. Since the long axis of the oblong connecting hole 111 is parallel to the length direction of the top beam, the first connecting plate 11 can be adjusted within a certain range along the length of the top beam. When there is unevenness along the length of the top beam or when the installation position needs fine-tuning, simply loosen the connecting bolts, move the first connecting plate 11 to the appropriate position, and then tighten the bolts to complete the adjustment. The second connecting plate 12 is connected to the connecting column 4 through the first adjusting member 101. The first adjusting member 101 can adjust the relative distance between the second connecting plate 12 and the connecting column 4 along the vertical axis of the connecting column 4. During installation, if it is found that the overall height of the top connecting structure does not match the height of the top beam, the first adjusting member 101 can be operated, such as by rotating the adjusting bolts, to change the vertical position of the second connecting plate 12, thereby adjusting the height of the entire first connecting member 1 and the connected top beam, so that the top connecting structure of the platform door can accurately adapt to the height of the top beam.

[0047] Specifically, a first reinforcing plate 13 is provided at the right-angle connection between the first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 12, and the first reinforcing plate 13 is fixedly connected to both the first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 12. The provision of the first reinforcing plate 13 significantly improves the structural strength of the right-angle connection of the first connecting member 1. During the long-term use of the platform screen door, it can resist deformation and damage caused by various external forces, ensuring that the top connecting structure always maintains a stable geometric shape, thereby guaranteeing a reliable connection between the platform screen door and the top beam, and improving the safety and stability of the entire platform screen door system.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first adjusting member 101 is a vertically arranged bolt. The bolt passes through the second connecting plate 12 and the connecting column 4 in sequence along the vertical axis of the connecting column 4. The bolt is screwed with a first nut 1011 on the side of the connecting column 4 away from the second connecting plate 12. The vertical relative distance between the second connecting plate 12 and the connecting column 4 can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the first nut 1011.

[0049] When it is necessary to adjust the vertical relative distance between the second connecting plate 12 and the connecting post 4, loosen the first nut 1011. At this time, the vertical constraint between the second connecting plate 12 and the connecting post 4 is relaxed. Since the bolt can move relative to the connecting post 4 and the second connecting plate 12 through the holes, the second connecting plate 12 can be moved up and down manually, thereby changing its relative position with the connecting post 4. After the second connecting plate 12 is moved to the appropriate position, tighten the first nut 1011. The first nut 1011 fits tightly with the connecting post 4, and the friction force fixes the second connecting plate 12 in this position, thus fixing the vertical relative distance between the second connecting plate 12 and the connecting post 4.

[0050] Please refer to this again. Figure 1 A first washer 14 is provided between the bolt nut and the second connecting plate 12. The first washer 14 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bolt and abuts against the nut and the second connecting plate 12 respectively.

[0051] The first washer 14 is fitted around the outer circumference of the bolt, and its large contact area can disperse the pressure of the nut on the second connecting plate 12. When tightening the nut, without the first washer 14, the contact area between the nut and the second connecting plate 12 is small, and the pressure per unit area is large, which can easily lead to indentations, deformation, or even damage on the surface of the second connecting plate 12. The presence of the first washer 14 can disperse the concentrated pressure over a larger area, making the pressure distribution more uniform.

[0052] In this embodiment, the second adjusting member 102 is a screw extending along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting column 4. The screw passes through the third connecting member 3. The third connecting member 3 has a second nut 1021 on each side that is screwed to the screw. A second washer 1022 is provided between each second nut 1021 and the third connecting member 3. The second washer 1022 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the screw and abuts against the second nut 1021 and the third connecting member 3 respectively. The distance between the third connecting member 3 and the top beam can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the second nuts 1021 on both sides.

[0053] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the third connector 3 and the top beam, loosen the second nuts 1021 on both sides. At this time, the clamping force of the second nuts 1021 on the third connector 3 decreases, and the third connector 3 can move on the screw in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting column 4. After moving to the appropriate position, tighten the second nuts 1021 on both sides. The second nuts 1021 apply sufficient clamping force to the third connector 3 through the second washer 1022, fixing the third connector 3 in that position, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the third connector 3 and the top beam.

[0054] The second washer 1022 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw and abuts against the second nut 1021 and the third connector 3 respectively. When the second nut 1021 is tightened, the second washer 1022 can disperse the pressure of the second nut 1021 on the third connector 3, avoid damage to the surface of the third connector 3 due to excessive local pressure, and at the same time make the pressure distribution more uniform, ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0055] Specifically, the third connector 3 has an opening groove on the side facing the connecting post 4, and the outer diameter of the connecting post 4 is adapted to the width of the opening groove.

[0056] When installing the top connection structure of the platform screen door, align the connecting post 4 with the opening slot on the third connecting piece 3, allowing the connecting post 4 to smoothly embed itself. Since the width of the opening slot matches the outer diameter of the connecting post, the connecting post 4 will not wobble excessively within the opening slot, thus achieving initial positioning. Subsequently, other connecting components (such as bolts and nuts) are used to further secure the third connecting piece 3 and the connecting post 4, completing the assembly of the entire top connection structure.

[0057] Furthermore, this application also includes a connecting rod 5, one end of which is connected to the connecting column 4 and the other end of which is connected to the platform door body. A second reinforcing plate 6 is provided between the connecting rod 5 and the second connecting member 2. The second reinforcing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 5 and the second connecting member 2 respectively to enhance the connection strength between the two.

[0058] The second reinforcing plate 6 significantly enhances the connection strength between the connecting rod 5 and the second connecting piece 2. During the use of the platform screen door, the connecting rod 5 needs to withstand various dynamic and static loads on the main body of the platform screen door, such as the impact force and wind force when opening and closing the door. The second reinforcing plate 6 can increase the rigidity of the connection part, enabling it to better resist tensile and compressive forces, avoiding problems such as loosening or breakage between the connecting rod 5 and the second connecting piece 2, and ensuring the safe operation of the platform screen door.

[0059] Without the second reinforcing plate 6, the connection between the connecting rod 5 and the second connecting piece 2 may experience significant stress due to force concentration, easily leading to material fatigue and damage in this area. The second reinforcing plate 6 expands the force transmission area, dispersing concentrated stress over a larger area, reducing local stress levels, and thus extending the service life of the connection.
