[0002] As the railway transportation industry continues to develop towards high efficiency, convenience and safety, higher standards have been put forward for the safety and operation convenience of each link of on-site operation. In the operation safety of railway freight vehicles, anti-slip operation is one of the key links, and the applicability of its operating tools directly affects the operation efficiency and risk control. The manual brake tightener used in this operation needs to be operated with a special hand crank: the wrench head at the front end of the hand crank is embedded into the pentagonal driving column at the end of the tightener, and by rotating the handle clockwise or counterclockwise, the pull rod moves axially relative to the object clamped by the jaw, which in turn drives the brake chain to tighten or loosen, and finally realizes the braking or releasing function of the brake. The existing hand crank has a single function, can only complete the tightening and loosening operations of the manual brake, and is difficult to cope with the multi-step tasks often involved in anti-slip operations. In addition, the rocker arm part is of a fixed structure, which has a large length and is inconvenient to carry; when used for a bottom-operated coupler, it is also necessary to manually lift the uncoupling lifting rod before rotating the hand crank, and reset it after the operation is completed. This process not only reduces the operation efficiency, but also introduces potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of hand crank with compact structure, easy portability and multiple operation functions to meet the actual requirements of current railway operations.

[0013] like Figures 1-4 As shown; the present invention provides a technical solution: a multi-functional folding hand crank for railways, including a front anti-slip grip 1, a rear anti-slip grip 2 and a folding link 3; one end of the front anti-slip grip 1 is connected to the folding link 3 through a front screw locking mechanism 11; the other end of the folding link 3 away from the front anti-slip grip 1 is connected to the rear anti-slip grip 2 through a rear screw locking mechanism 21.

[0014] The front screw locking mechanism 11 is provided with three threaded locking holes 1102, which correspond to the 0°, 90° and 180° working positions of the front anti-slip grip 1, respectively.

[0015] The front screw locking mechanism 11 is equipped with a threaded pin 1101, which has an external thread that mates with the threaded locking hole.

[0016] The rear screw locking mechanism 21 has the same structure as the front screw locking mechanism 11.

[0017] The front anti-slip grip 1 has an elliptical collar 13 connected to the other end away from the folding link 3; the front anti-slip grip 1 and one end of the elliptical collar 13 are connected by a bearing, so that the elliptical collar 13 can rotate 180° horizontally.

[0018] The elliptical collar 13 has a cavity 1301.

[0019] The rear anti-slip grip 2 has a regular pentagonal sleeve head 22 at the other end away from the folding link 3.

[0020] The front anti-slip grip 1 is provided with a front anti-slip pad 12 near the elliptical collar 13; the rear anti-slip grip 2 is provided with a rear anti-slip pad 23 near the regular pentagonal sleeve head 22; the front anti-slip pad 12 and the rear anti-slip pad 23 prevent the hand crank from falling off during operation.

[0021] The folding link 3 is connected to the front anti-slip grip 1 and the rear anti-slip grip 2 at its front and rear ends through the front screw locking mechanism 11 and the rear screw locking mechanism 21, respectively. The front anti-slip grip 1 and the rear anti-slip grip 2 can rotate relative to the folding link 3 within an angle range of 0° to 180°, and can be fixed at 0°, 90° and 180° respectively by locking the front threaded pin 1101 and the rear threaded pin 2101.

[0022] The pentagonal sleeve head 22 of the rear anti-slip grip 2 is matched with the size of the pentagonal prism at the end of a conventional manual brake fastener.

[0023] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When tightening or loosening the manual brake fastener, the operator first removes the hand crank from the safety belt, unscrews the pin 1101 of the front screw locking mechanism 11 from the 0° hole of the threaded locking hole 1102, grips the front anti-slip handle 1 and rotates it upwards by 90°, then inserts the pin 1101 into the 90° hole of the threaded locking hole and tightens it. Next, the operator unscrews the pin 2101 of the rear screw locking mechanism 21 from the 0° hole of the threaded locking hole 2102, grips the rear anti-slip handle 2 and rotates it downwards by 90°, then inserts the pin 2101 into the 90° hole of the threaded locking hole 2102 and tightens it, thus tightening the front anti-slip handle 1. Unfold the rear anti-slip grip 2 and folding linkage 3. Then, insert one end of the pentagonal sleeve head 22 of the rear anti-slip grip 2 into the pentagonal prism at the end of the manual brake fastener. Grip the front anti-slip grip 1 and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate the pentagonal prism at the end of the manual brake fastener. This rotation of the pentagonal prism at the end of the manual brake fastener causes the nut on the pull rod to rotate. The pull rod moves forward or backward relative to the object clamped by the jaws. The rotation of the nut moves forward or backward along the pull rod, tightening or loosening the brake chain until the brake chain is fully tightened or fully loosened, thus completing the braking and releasing operation of the manual brake.

[0024] When opening and closing the angle plug, place the cavity 1301 of the oval collar 13 around the handle of the angle plug. Then, grip the anti-slip handle 2 and move it upwards, causing the oval collar 13 and the handle of the angle plug to move upwards until the handle is fully raised. After the handle is fully raised, the anti-slip handle 2 drives the oval collar 13 to rotate the handle of the angle plug, causing the handle to rotate 90°. Once at the desired position, press down on the handle of the angle plug again using the rear anti-slip grip 2 until the handle of the angle plug is completely down. Then remove the oval collar 11 from the handle of the angle plug. After the operation is completed, first unscrew the pins of the two screw locking mechanisms, then fold the front anti-slip grip 1, the rear anti-slip grip 2 and the folding linkage 3 again. Then insert the pins of the two screw locking mechanisms into the 0° holes of the threaded locking holes and tighten them. Then retract and hang them on the operator's safety belt.

[0025] This utility model discloses a multi-functional folding hand crank for railway freight vehicle operations, used to achieve both manual brake fastening and angle cock opening / closing operations. The hand crank mainly consists of a non-slip handle, a folding linkage, an elliptical collar, a sleeve head, and related connecting parts. There are two non-slip handles, front and rear, each with a non-slip pad. The front non-slip handle has an elliptical collar at its end, the inner diameter of which matches the size of the angle cock handle to perform the opening and closing action. A folding linkage connects the front and rear non-slip handles. The rear non-slip handle has a sleeve head at its end, with an internal pentagonal groove whose size matches the pentagonal prism at the end of a conventional manual brake fastener.
