The core of the present application is to provide a train suspension device, which realizes damping vibration and reducing noise through a damping unit.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the train suspension device and the suspended monorail train according to the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
The train suspension device provided according to the present application includes a hoisting rod 1 and a connection base 2, as shown in
A damping unit 3 is configured to connect the bolster seam 4 with the connection base 2, in order to realize a non-rigid connection between the bolster seam 4 and the connection base 2. As shown in 3A, it is a cross-sectional structure diagram of the connection between the bolster seam 4 and the connection base 2 through the damping unit 3. The damping unit 3 includes an inner supporting member 31, an intermediate buffer member 32 and an outer supporting member 33 nested successively from inside to outside, and the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 are made of hard materials and have sufficient rigidity, and are made of metal, such as steel materials; radial dimensions of an outer wall of the inner supporting member 31 and an inner wall of the outer supporting member 33 gradually decrease from one end to the other end in a vertical direction. The description is given in a direction which the damping unit and the connection base 2 are assembled with each other, the radial dimensions of the outer wall of the inner supporting member 31 and the inner wall of the outer supporting member 33 may be gradually decreased from top to bottom, or from bottom to top; there are two cases here, which will be described in detail in the following text; in this article, the inner wall refers to the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 separately, the inner wall is close to the center, and the outer wall is away from the center.
The intermediate buffer member 32 may be elastically deformed, and deformed after being squeezed, and restored to the original size after the external force is removed; the intermediate buffer member 32 is clamped between the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33, which buffers the impact force between the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33, thereby preventing the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 from directly contacting and causing an impact.
One of the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 is connected to the connection base 2, and the other one of the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 is connected to the bolster seam 4, and the bolster seam 4 is a structure connected to the top of the train body, as shown in
The elastically deformable intermediate buffer 32 is arranged between the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33. When the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 are impacted and produce relative movement, the vertical and lateral forces may be buffered by the intermediate buffer 32, which prevents the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 from vibration and noise caused by the relative impact; since the intermediate buffer 32 may be elastically deformable, it has a great sound attenuation effect, and the noise transmitted from the hoisting rod 1 and the connection base 2 to the bolster seam 4 is greatly reduced. If only to reduce noise, the intermediate buffer 32 may also be made of a rigid sound-absorbing material.
On the basis of the above solution, the present application provides a specific arrangement form. A vertically through supporting hole 21 is defined on the connection base 2, and the supporting hole 21 is configured to limit the installation of the outer supporting member 33, the supporting hole 21 defines a position of the outer supporting member 33 and provides a support for the outer supporting member 33; the inner supporting member 31 is relatively fixed to the bolster seam 4. In this solution, the outer supporting member 33 is connected to the connection base 2, and the inner supporting member 31 is connected to the bolster seam 4, the radial dimensions of the outer wall of the inner supporting member 31 and the inner wall of the outer supporting member 33 gradually decrease from top to bottom; the inner supporting member 31 is relatively fixed to the bolster seam 4, as shown in
The present application also includes that, the radial dimensions of the outer wall of the inner supporting member 31 and the inner wall of the outer supporting member 33 gradually decrease from bottom to top, and the drawings are not provided in this article. It is conceivable that, at this time, the outer supporting member 33 is relatively connected to the bolster seam 4, and the outer supporting member 33 bears the downward gravity of the bolster seam 4, and the inner supporting member 31 is connected to the upper connection base 2. Since the radial dimension of the outer surface of the inner supporting member 31 gradually increases from top to bottom, the outer supporting member 33 can be prevented from falling. This connection form can achieve the same technical effect, therefore, both arrangement forms should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
Further, in the present application, an annular supporting plate 22 is arranged at a bottom of the supporting hole 21, and the supporting plate 22 supports the outer supporting member 33 from the bottom. As shown in
Preferably, an inner wall of the supporting hole 21 according to the present application is perpendicular to a horizontal plane, that is, the supporting hole 21 may be formed by bending steel pate to facilitate process and manufacture; the inner wall of the supporting hole 21 is provided with a supporting step 23, as shown in
A coupling cylinder 41 is arranged on the bolster seam 4, the coupling cylinder 41 may be fixed relative to the bolster seam 4, or may be movably connected, and the coupling cylinder 41 should be able to support the bolster seam 4; an internal thread is arranged on an inner wall of the coupling cylinder 41, and is fixedly connected to the inner supporting member 31 through a threaded connection.
A cover plate 51 is arranged on and covers a top of the inner supporting member 31, as shown in
Further, as shown in
In order to further improve the assembly effect, the an upper contact surface 411 at the top of the coupling cylinder 41 and the lower contact surface 312 at the bottom of the inner supporting member 31 are mutually matched finishing surfaces, which ensures that the upper contact surface 411 and the lower contact surface 312 are level, and the two surfaces are in full contact when they are completely contacted, avoids relative movement of the inner supporting member 31 and the coupling cylinder 41, and ensures the coupling bolt 52 is in a vertical state after assembly. If the upper contact surface 411 and the lower contact surface 312 are uneven and move with each other, bending stress may be generated on the coupling bolt 52, and the arrangement of the finishing surface may reduce the possibility of bending stress.
The coupling cylinder 41 protrudes from the upper surface of the bolster seam 4. Only a pair of relative small contact surfaces of the upper contact surface 411 and the lower contact surface 312 is arranged. If the top of the coupling cylinder 41 is flush with the upper surface of the bolster seam 4, a lower surface of the connection base 2 cannot contact with the upper surface of the bolster seam 4. In order to avoid bending stress of the coupling bolt 52, a larger surface needs to be processed. Therefore, the present application adopts the configuration in which the coupling cylinder 41 protrudes upward, which may also reduce the processing complexity.
Preferably, in the present application, a distance between the upper surface of the bolster seam 4 and the lower surface of the connection base 2 is 5 mm to 10 mm, including an endpoint value, that is, the coupling cylinder 41 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the bolster seam 4 by substantially 5 mm to 10 mm; as shown in
Preferably, a limit platform protrudes downwardly from a middle of a bottom of the cover plate 51 according to the present application, and the limit platform is inserted into an inner cavity of the inner supporting member 31, and configured to contact an inner wall of the inner supporting member 31 for being restricted, which prevents the cover plate 51 from moving laterally, and avoids shearing force on the coupling bolt 52.
On the basis of any one of the above technical solutions and their mutual combinations, the intermediate buffer 32 according to the present application is in a shape of a cone, and the outer surface of the inner supporting member 31 and the inner surface of the outer supporting member 33 are tapered surfaces. Referring to
Preferably, the intermediate buffer 32 according to the present application is made of rubber, and the inner supporting member 31, the intermediate buffer 32 and the outer supporting member 33 are vulcanized into one body, and the entire damping unit 3 is a whole.
On the basis of any one of the above technical solutions and their mutual combinations, the present application provides another structure, as shown in
The present application also provides a suspended monorail train, including the train suspension device according to any one of the above suspended monorail trains, and the suspended monorail train can achieve the same technical effect.
