Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-speed train maintenance technology, specifically to an axle centering and lifting device. Background Technology
[0002] EMU, short for powered vehicle, refers to vehicles in a rail transit system that are equipped with a power unit. It includes two main categories: locomotives and powered cars. During vehicle maintenance, inspection, or repair work, it is often necessary to use a lift to raise the vehicle off the ground.
[0003] Traditional lifting equipment typically uses lifting arms that move along a fixed trajectory during lifting, making it difficult to adaptively follow the spatial movement of the vehicle's lifting points (such as axles or suspension support points). This can easily lead to lateral slippage or stress between the support pad and the vehicle's lifting points during the lifting process.
[0004] There is an urgent need for an axle alignment and lifting device to address the technical deficiencies mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an axle alignment and lifting device to solve the problem of inconvenient alignment and lifting mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an axle centering and lifting device, comprising a base, a translation component, a lifting mechanism, a centering component, and an adjusting component. The base is used to mount the entire lifting mechanism. The translation component includes a lead screw and a slide rail, which are fixedly mounted on the top of the base. The lifting mechanism is installed between the translation component and the centering component. The centering component is used to support the axle, and its top is provided with a V-groove adapted to the shape of the axle. The adjusting component includes a support seat, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting mechanism, and a connecting seat is movably mounted on the top of the support seat.
[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the centering component includes a fixed seat, and the V-groove is provided at the top of the fixed seat; the two sides of the top of the fixed seat are movably hinged to limit plates, and the top of the limit plates is fixedly installed with anti-slip rubber pads; the fixed seat is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting seat, and hydraulic cylinders are movably installed on both sides of the top of the centering component.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the hydraulic cylinder is slidably installed at the bottom end of the limiting plate; the hydraulic cylinder is provided in two sets and adopts a synchronous valve.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a stepper motor is fixedly installed inside the support base. The output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting base. Limiting rollers are movably installed on both sides of the bottom end of the connecting base, and the bottom end of the limiting rollers is in contact with the top end of the support base.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a servo motor is fixedly installed on the right side of the lead screw slide rail, the output end of the servo motor is connected to the lead screw shaft of the lead screw slide rail, a lead screw sleeve is threaded onto the external thread of the lead screw slide rail, and the bottom end of the lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the lead screw sleeve.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, universal wheels are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the base, and the lifting mechanism is composed of a hydraulic component and a scissor frame component.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the axle centering and lifting device not only realizes the function of easy centering and lifting, but also realizes the function of easy and flexible adjustment; With the centering component in place, the equipment moves to the area of the train that needs maintenance, and then the axle is embedded into the V-groove of the fixed seat. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder pushes the limit plate to move so that the axle is centered. The left and right hydraulic cylinders use synchronous valves to make the hydraulic oil flow into the two hydraulic cylinders equal, so as to achieve balanced lifting speed and force. When the threshold is exceeded, it will automatically adjust to avoid additional stress caused by misalignment, effectively protect the vehicle suspension system and the structure of the lift itself, and extend the service life of both. With a fixed base and an adjustment component, the stepper motor inside the adjustment component can drive the fixed base to rotate. The stepper motor has a built-in self-locking mechanism. After the fixed base is adjusted to a suitable angle, it can achieve stable self-locking and can adaptively follow the actual movement trajectory of the axle during the lifting process. This completely eliminates harmful lateral forces and slippage between the support pad and the axle. The modular design can be directly adapted to the lifting arms of most existing lifts, greatly improving the safety and stability of lifting operations. With the addition of a translation component, before lifting, the servo motor drives the lead screw shaft inside the lead screw slide rail to rotate. The lead screw sleeve outside the lead screw shaft can drive the lifting mechanism to move horizontally left and right. During the movement, the lifting mechanism can adaptively follow the actual movement trajectory of the axle in the horizontal direction during the lifting process, which greatly improves the efficiency of centering and lifting.

The centering component 4 includes a fixed base 405, a V-groove 403 disposed at the top of the fixed base 405; limit plates 402 are movably hinged to both sides of the top of the fixed base 405, and anti-slip rubber pads 404 are fixedly installed at the top of the limit plates 402; the fixed base 405 is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting base 603; hydraulic cylinders 401 are movably installed on both sides of the top of the centering component 4, and the hydraulic cylinders 401 are slidably installed at the bottom of the limit plates 402; two sets of hydraulic cylinders 401 are provided and synchronous valves are used. Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, during lifting, the axle is embedded in the V-groove 403 of the fixed seat 405. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 401 pushes the limiting plate 402 to move so that the axle is centered. The left and right hydraulic cylinders 401 adopt a synchronous valve to make the hydraulic oil flow into the two hydraulic cylinders 401 equal, so as to achieve a balance of lifting speed and force. When the threshold is exceeded, it will automatically adjust to avoid additional stress caused by misalignment and effectively protect the vehicle suspension system and the structure of the lift itself.
[0017] A stepper motor 602 is fixedly installed inside the support base 601. The output end of the stepper motor 602 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting base 603. Limiting rollers 604 are movably installed on both sides of the bottom end of the connecting base 603. The bottom end of the limiting rollers 604 is in contact with the top end of the support base 601. Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the stepper motor 602 inside the adjustment component 6 can drive the fixed seat 405 to rotate. The stepper motor 602 has a built-in self-locking mechanism. After the fixed seat 405 is adjusted to a suitable angle, it can achieve stable self-locking and can adaptively follow the actual movement trajectory of the axle during the lifting process. This completely eliminates harmful lateral forces and slippage between the support pad and the axle. The modular design can be directly adapted to the lifting arms of most existing lifts, greatly improving the safety and stability of lifting operations.
[0018] A servo motor 202 is fixedly installed on the right side of the lead screw slide rail 201. The output end of the servo motor 202 is connected to the lead screw shaft of the lead screw slide rail 201. A lead screw sleeve 203 is threaded onto the external thread of the lead screw slide rail 201. The bottom end of the lifting mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the lead screw sleeve 203.

During the movement, the lifting mechanism 3 can adaptively follow the actual movement trajectory of the axle in the lifting process in the horizontal direction.
[0019] Working Principle: Before lifting, the device is moved to the train maintenance area. The stepper motor 602 inside the adjustment component 6 drives the fixed seat 405 to rotate. The stepper motor 602 has a self-locking mechanism. After adjusting the fixed seat 405 to a suitable angle, stable self-locking can be achieved. The servo motor 202 drives the lead screw shaft inside the lead screw slide rail 201 to rotate. The lead screw sleeve 203 outside the lead screw shaft can drive the lifting mechanism 3 to move horizontally left and right. During the movement, the lifting mechanism 3 is adjusted in the horizontal direction. When lifting, the axle is embedded in the V-groove 403 of the fixed seat 405. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 401 pushes the limit plate 402 to move so that the axle is centered. The left and right hydraulic cylinders 401 use synchronous valves to make the hydraulic oil flow into the two hydraulic cylinders 401 equal, so as to achieve balanced lifting speed and force. When the threshold is exceeded, automatic adjustment is performed to avoid additional stress caused by misalignment. This effectively protects the vehicle suspension system and the structure of the lifting machine itself, and greatly improves the safety and stability of the lifting operation.
