Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of train bogie technology, and in particular relates to a split support assembly for a railway freight car bogie. Background Technology
[0002] As the core running gear of railway freight cars, the performance of the bogie directly affects the safety and stability of train operation. The existing bogie is mainly composed of wheelsets, side frames, bolsters and cross support devices. Among them, the cross support device is a key technology of the bogie. It effectively suppresses the diamond deformation of the side frames by cross-connecting the left and right side frames, and significantly improves the critical speed and curve passing performance of the bogie.
[0003] The cross bracing device is connected to the support base fixed on the side frame through the connection structure at its end. In the prior art, the support base is usually cast integrally with the side frame. Although this integral structure has the advantage of good overall rigidity, it also has the following significant drawbacks: 1. Extremely poor maintenance economy: As a key load-bearing component, the support seat is subjected to complex alternating loads for a long time, and is very prone to fatigue cracks or wear in stress concentration areas. Once damaged, the support seat and the side frame are an integral structure and cannot be replaced separately. The entire side frame must be removed from the bogie and replaced. As a large cast steel component, the side frame itself is expensive, and the replacement operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in huge maintenance costs and low vehicle turnover efficiency.
[0004] 2. Conflict between materials and processes: The entire side frame is made of ordinary cast steel to meet the comprehensive performance requirements. It is impossible to use special materials or processes that are more wear-resistant and have higher strength for the support base, which is a local high-stress area, thus restricting the further improvement of its performance.
[0005] 3. Inconvenient maintenance: When performing flaw detection and inspection on the integrated support base, the operating space is limited, making it inconvenient to detect defects such as cracks, which increases safety hazards.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, a few separate support designs have emerged in the existing technology. For example, the support can be fixed to the side frame with bolts. However, bolted connections are prone to loosening under long-term, intense vibration conditions, making it difficult to guarantee reliability. Furthermore, creating bolt holes on the side frame can introduce new stress concentration points, which may become the origin of fatigue cracks and reduce the fatigue life of the side frame itself.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a new type of support that can both facilitate maintenance and ensure connection strength and reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a split support seat assembly for railway freight car bogies. By designing the support seat as an independent module separate from the side frame, the industry pain point of replacing the entire frame when one part is damaged is completely solved. When the support seat is damaged by cracks, wear, or other damage during use, maintenance personnel only need to cut off the welding points connecting the inner and outer seats to remove the damaged support seat assembly as a whole and replace it with a new pre-assembled assembly module. This reduces the original costly side frame replacement work that took several days to a low-cost operation that only requires replacing a standard module in a few hours, greatly reducing maintenance costs and improving the vehicle's uptime.
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is a split support assembly for a railway freight car bogie, including a support body installed on the side frame of the bogie; The support body includes an inner seat and an outer seat; The inner seat is a forged or rolled part with a T-shaped structure, which is integrally formed by a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The outer seat includes a rectangular sleeve body, one end of which is integrally provided with an end plate, and several reinforcing ribs are provided between the end plate and the peripheral side of the sleeve body. The bogie side frame is provided with a strip-shaped opening that mates with the horizontal plate portion. The horizontal plate portion passes through the strip-shaped opening. The vertical plate portion is in contact with the outer side of the bogie side frame. The sleeve body is slidably disposed on the horizontal plate portion located inside the bogie side frame. The end plate is in contact with the inner side of the bogie side frame. The end of the horizontal plate portion that is away from the vertical plate portion extends beyond the sleeve body, and the end of the sleeve body is fixed to the horizontal plate portion by welding. The horizontal plate has a waist-shaped opening along its length in the middle, and the sleeve body has a pin hole that communicates with the waist-shaped opening.
[0010] Furthermore, the bogie side frame consists of an inner frame and two side plates disposed on the inner and outer sides of the inner frame, and the strip-shaped opening is disposed on the two side plates.
[0011] Furthermore, a reinforcing sleeve is integrally provided between the two side plates, the reinforcing sleeve is connected to the strip opening, and the horizontal plate portion passes through the reinforcing sleeve.
[0012] Furthermore, a guide slope is provided on the inner side of the end of the sleeve body away from the end plate, and a deepened weld is formed between the guide slope of the sleeve body and the horizontal plate portion.
[0013] Furthermore, the pin hole penetrates the upper and lower plates of the sleeve body, and the pin hole is misaligned with the reinforcing rib.
[0014] Furthermore, the horizontal plate portion has an integrally formed conical edge structure at the end away from the vertical plate portion.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention completely solves the industry pain point of replacing the entire frame when the support seat is damaged by designing it as an independent module separate from the side frame. When the support seat is damaged by cracks, wear, or other damage during use, maintenance personnel only need to cut off the welding points connecting the inner and outer seats to remove the damaged support seat assembly as a whole and replace it with a new pre-assembled assembly module. This reduces the original costly side frame replacement work that took several days to a low-cost operation that only requires replacing a standard module in a few hours, greatly reducing maintenance costs and improving vehicle uptime.
[0016] This utility model forms a "double plate" structure by having the vertical plate of the inner seat attached to the outer side of the side frame, and the end plate of the outer seat attached to the inner side of the side frame, thus clamping the side frame from both sides. This design allows the load borne by the support seat to be transferred to the main structure of the side frame over a large area and evenly, with a smooth force flow path, effectively avoiding stress concentration. At the same time, the welding point is set at the step between the horizontal plate of the inner seat and the sleeve of the outer seat, avoiding the stress concentration and loosening problems caused by bolt connections, and also avoiding the thermal impact and performance damage to the base material caused by direct welding on the main body of the side frame, thus improving reliability from the structural root.
[0017] This invention sets the welding point of the inner and outer seats at the step between the inner seat's horizontal plate and the outer seat's sleeve. The main purpose is to connect the inner and outer seats, rather than to create a main load-bearing path. The load is mainly transmitted through the clamping structure of the inner and outer seats, and the welding point does not directly bear the main load, thereby greatly improving the fatigue life of the connection point and ensuring long-term reliability.
[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
