DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

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 FIG. 2A. FIG. 2A is a structural diagram of the hoisting rod 1 and the connection base 2 in the train suspension device provided according to the present application. The hoisting rod 1 is arranged vertically, a top of the hoisting rod 1 is connected to a bogie, and the hoisting rod 1 is driven by the bogie to generate a displacement, a bottom of the hoisting rod 1 is provided with the connection base 2, and the connection base 2 is relatively connected with a bolster seam 4, as shown in FIG. 2B. FIG. 2B is a structural diagram of the mutual assembly of the hoisting rod 1, the connection base 2, and the bolster seam 4, and the bolster seam 4 is hoisted through the connection base 2; the hoisting rod 1 and the connection base 2 may be hinged to each other, or fixedly connected, all these connection forms should be protected by the present application; as shown in FIG. 2A, the connection base 2 has four branches, and has four connection positions with the bolster seam 4. The present application is not limited to four branches, and more branches may be arranged or a whole block structure is used for connecting with the bolster seam 4.


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 FIG. 4A. FIG. 4A is an axonometric diagram of the bolster seam 4. The present application takes a H-shaped bolster seam as an example; after the assembly is completed, a downward gravity is generated in a structure connected to the bolster seam 4, and the gravity is transmitted to the connection base 2 by the damping unit 3; the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 in the damping unit 3 generates interaction force, and the inner supporting member 31 and the outer supporting member 33 have a tendency of approaching each other, which generates a compression effect on the intermediate buffer member 32.


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 FIG. 3A. The bolster seam 4 generates a downward pulling force on the inner supporting member 31, and the inner supporting member 31 has a tendency of moving downward. Since the radial dimension of the inner wall of the outer supporting member 33 decreases from top to bottom, the outer supporting member 33 supports the inner supporting member 31 and the inner supporting member 31 cannot fall.


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 FIG. 3A, the supporting plate 22 may be made of an annular metal plate. The opening in a middle of the supporting plate 22 is smaller than the bottom of the outer supporting member 33, and the bottom of the outer supporting member 33 is in contact with a top of the supporting plate 22, which provides support for the outer supporting member 33.


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 FIG. 3A. An inner diameter of the supporting hole 21 above the supporting step 23 is greater than a lower part of the supporting hole 21, which is equivalent to arrange a circle of boss protruding inward on the lower part of the supporting hole 21; as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C. FIGS. 3B and 3C are sectional axonometric diagrams of the damping unit 3 from two different angles, an outer step 331 protrudes from an outer surface of the outer supporting member 33, which is equivalent to a circle of bump protruding outward on an upper part of the outer supporting member 33, and the supporting step 23 is configured for cooperating with and supporting the outer step 331 protruding from the outer surface of the outer supporting member 33. It is conceivable that the supporting step 23 or the outer step 331 of the inner wall of the supporting hole 21 may also adopt a split structure, and these specific arrangements should be included in the protection scope of the present application.


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 FIG. 3A, an opening is defined in a middle of the cover plate 51, and a coupling bolt 52 penetrates the middle of the cover plate 51, and the coupling bolt 52 passes through the opening from top to bottom, and a stud of the coupling bolt 52 is inserted into the internal thread of the coupling cylinder 41, and a bolt head of the coupling bolt 52 is blocked and restricted by the opening on the cover plate 51.



FIG. 4B is a sectional axonometric diagram of the bolster seam 4, and FIG. 4C is a partial cross-sectional diagram of the bolter seam 4 and the coupling cylinder 41 in cooperation; an inner diameter of an upper part of the coupling cylinder 41 is relatively large, larger than the stud of the coupling bolt 52, which facilitates downward insertion. An inner diameter of a lower part of the coupling cylinder 41 is relatively small, and an internal thread is provided here for threaded connection with the stud of the coupling bolt 52.


Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, a top of the coupling cylinder 41 according to the present application is higher than an upper surface of the bolster seam 4; as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, a limit ring 311 protrudes downwardly around a through hole in a center at a bottom of the inner supporting member 31, and the limit ring 311 also protrudes downward from a lower contact surface 312. The limit ring 311 may be a whole ring or multiple split structures distributed in an annular shape. The limit ring 311 is configured to be inserted into the coupling cylinder 41, which limits circumferential positions of the damping unit 3 and the coupling cylinder 41, and avoids relative lateral stagger.


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 FIG. 3A, the coupling cylinder 41 is fixed to the bolster seam 4 by welding, and a bottom of an outer surface of the coupling cylinder 41 is arranged with an annular convex edge, and an outer diameter of the convex edge is greater than an outer diameter of a main body of the coupling cylinder 41, which may support an lower surface of the bolster seam 4. If the welding fails, that supporting by the convex edge may play a role of secondary protection.


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.
