Description
b CAM MECHANISM FOR A SYSTEM FOR DISCHARGE OF BULK MATERIALS FROM VEHICLES This application is a Patent of Addition to Application No. 26,067/92 filed September 29, 1992 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its i0 entirety.
The present invention relates to a system for the discharge of bulk materials from vehicles in 1 particular railway wagons.
S• BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 0 s o 000 so' Although the invention will be described with respect to railway wagons, the invention is to be understood to have application to other general forms of bulk carrier, for example road vehicles. The invention has 00 00 application to the transport of bulk materials such as wheat, coal, iron ore, granular materials in general, or other solid particulate matter.
In prior art vehicles, the bulk material is stored in hoppers which have discharge openings at the base o00 closed by doors. The doors are operated by levers 000 3 which are driven "over-center" to maintain the door 30 shut. The over-center levers are actuated either manually or by hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders rotating a shaft to which the over-center levers are attached. A further manually operated lever arm is often provided should an actuating cylinder fail.
Each hopper is normally provided with a pair of doors opened in unison. In order to operate the hopper doors, considerable physical exertion or a source of hydraulic or Fieumatic power is required. The latter situation complicates the mechanical features of the vehicle and hence the reliability of operation as well as the cost of manufacture of the vehicle.
~3RI~BC--~I C--a The discharge of particulate materials produces a dust laden atmosphere which can reduce the reliability of hydraulic or pneumatic actuators.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention seeks to overcome the above disadvantages in the prior art or at least to substantially ameliorate them, or to provide an alternative thereto.
.0 According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a system for the discharge of bulk materials *fee from a vehicle, said vehicle having at least one storage compo'rtment with at least one discharge opening and a door covering said at least one discharge opening, held shut by an over-centre action of a door operating mechanism having an articulated linkage said mechcnism further including a first lever means for opening said door, and a second lever means 25 for closing said door, a first cam means cooperable with said first lever means to open said door and a 5:90 second cam means cooperable with said second lever means to close said door, said first and second cam means being separate from said vehicle and each having means to move it between a first inoperative position and a second operative position and vice versa, whereby in said second position said first or second cam means is in a position to contact said first or second lever means respectively as the case may be so that relative movement of said vehicle and s;ii respective cam means opens or closes said door, and in said first position is retracted unable to contact said respective levers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in Figure 1, a vehicle with a hopper filled with particulate material 12 has a pair of facing hopper doors 14, 16 hinged respectively at 18, 20. The vehicle is moving in the direction of the 15 arrow 22.
The vehicle may have a single hopper 10 or a plurality of such hoppers, and more than one set of doors depending on the size of the hopper. For example, in a railway wagon, the volume defined by the wagon :400,comprises a single storage compartment ("hopper") and a a number of doors, for example four pairs, may be 0000 S provided in the base of the wagon for discharge of the contained material, each pair of doors being as shown 25 in Figure 1. Alternatively, each discharge opening may be closed by a single door (as shown in Figure 4) 000 rather than a pair as shown in Figure 1.
@000 As the vehicle (and hence the hopper 10) moves in the direction 22 a trip lever 24 with a roller 26 at its free end contacts the surface of opening cam 28. The cam 28 may be disabled (see embodiments of Figures As the roller 26 ascends the surface of the opening cam 28, the lever 24 rotates the shaft 30 (to which the lever 24 is affixed) in an anti-clockwise direction as shown by arrow 32.
The doors 14, 16 are operated by levers comprising pairs of articulated linkages 34, 36 and 38, respectively. First linkages 36 and 38 (of each pair) NINE r _LI C_~ are fixed to the shaft 30 and rotate therewith.
Second linkage 34 (of the left pair) is attached to first linkage 36 at pivot 42 and to the door 14 at pivot 44. Likewise, second linkage 40 is connected to hopper door 16 at pivot 46 and to first linkage 38 at pivot 48.
The shaft 30 is fixed to the body of the hopper in a manner allowing rotation of the shaft about its axis.
15 In operation, the first linkages 36, 38 and second linkages 34, 40 provide in the closed position an over-center action locking the hopper doors closed against the weight of the bulk material 12 contained in the hopper. "Over-center" refers to the first linkage 36 or 38 not being co-linear with the associated second linkage 34 or 40 respectively. The :fos*slope of the opening cam 28 is chosen to provide the necessary leverage to overcome this locking action of *4* the levers 34, 36 and 38, 40 or at least sufficient to allow the weight of the material once it has commenced its discharge from a partially opened door to continue further to force the door(s) fully open.
As the hopper doors 14, 16 are forced fully open by 30 the discharge of the material 12, the trip lever 24 is rotated off the opening cam 28 into an essentially vertical orientation such that trip lever 24 is now "disabled".
Once discharge of the material is effected, the linkages 36, 38 and linkages 34, 40 are in the positions shown in Figure 2, To close the hopper doors 14, 16 the hopper 10 is moved again or continues to move in the direction of the arrow 22. A second trip lever 50 attached to the shaft 30 in a parallel vertical plane to that of trip lever 24 operates to I I~T close the hopper dooxs 14, 16 in a manner to be described below.
As the trip lever 24 is rotated into its inoperative position (upwards) with the shaft 30 rotating clockwise, the trip lever 50 is rotated (downwards) into its operative position.
At the free end of I.he trip lever 50, a roller 52 is
S.
provided. A door closing cam 54 is situated in the 15 path of the hopper 10 and lever roller 52. Cam 54 may be disabled as required (refer Figures 5-8).
a The door closing cam 54 is provided with a steep 0Wee double curvature profile to effect closure of the hopper doors 14, 16. In addition, the cam 54 may be pivoted at 56 and spring loaded at the opposite end 58. The internal spring 60 is of sufficient stiffness to kick the levers over-center and to deflect downwardly as the trip lever 50 rolls over the crest 62 of the cam 54.
As the lever 50 moves along the surface of the cam 54, the shaft 30 rotates clockwise as shown by arrow 64 in Figure 3, which shows the doors in a position about to 30 be closed fully. As the hopper 10 moves further in the direction of the arrow 22, the lever 50 disengages from the cam surface at 62.
As the closing lever 54 operates to shut the doors 14, 16, the opening trip lever 24 is rotated clockwise into an operative position.
The sloping surfaces of the the cams 28, 54 are of sufficient extent to cater for variations in heights of door operating main shafts 30 which may be experienced in vehicles in practice bearing in mind 0.L I L) L wear in wheels (of railway vehicles or tires of road vehicles), spring deflections in vehicle suspensions and the like. Te maximum height of cam 28, 54 will be below the lowest position of the door operating main shaft 30 bearing these factors in mind.
Referring to the second embodiment as shown in Figure 4, a vehicle with a hopper 110 filled with particulate material 112 has a single hopper door 114 hinged at 00• 118 and closing opening 116. The door 114 is of a 15 "flush-close" type, fitting over the opening 116.
00 0. 0 "Flush-close" style doors close off a hopper opening Ro by covering the opening externally. "Flush" in this 0:00 sense may not necessarily require that the door be in contact with the rim of the opening but may include a gap therebetween, when the gap is smaller than the 0 0 size of the particulate material to be contained, for example, coal. If required, for granular material in *000 particular, sealing (or a gasket) around rim of the 0: 25 door can be provided.
*0 0e The door 114 is operated by a lever arrangement similar to that of the first embodiment comprising 0000 articulated linkages 134, and 136. First linkage 136 is fixed to the shaft 130 at the end of yoke plate 138 and rotates therewith. Shaft 130 is supported at the end of yoke plate 138. Second linkage 134 is attached to first linkage 136 at pivot 142 and to the door 114 at pivot 144. T-ip lever 124 and cam roller 126 open the door 114 when shaft 130 is rotated in the direction of arrow 132 (when the hopper 110 moves relative to cam 128 in the sense of arrow 122). A second trip lever (not shown) attached to the shaft 130 in a parallel vertical plane to that of trip lever 124 operates to close the hopper door 114 by rotating shaft 130 in the opposite direction to arrow 132.
p. The operation of the single door is essentially the same, mutatis mutandis, as described with respect to the embodiment of Figures 1-3. That is trip lever 124 and cam roller 126 open the door 114 by traversing opening cam 128 and the second trip lever closes the door by traversing a closing cam.
In some circumstances especially with a "plug-in" door *the over-center locking of the lever mechanism may not be sufficient to retain the door closed. "Plug-in" 15 style doors close off the hopper opening by moving into the internal area of the opening without eesubstantial contact with the rim of the opening.
0@*G For example vertical acceleration of the door imparted by surface irregularities ("bumping"), as a wagon moves along a railway track, may be sufficient to force the linkages 34, 36 past the neutral position where the linkages 34, 36 are aligned, especially when the hopper is empty. Once past this position the door will continue to open under the weight of the enclosed material or, if the hopper is empty, the weight of the a a.doors themselves. This false tripping is less likely with a "flush-close" door (as shown for Figures 1-4) where to pass the neutral position, elastic deformation of the door is required.
Referring to Figure 9, to prevent or reduce false opening of a door a tension spring 150 can be provided as a secondary lock anchored at one end to the vehicle at 152 and at the other end attached to lever 154.
Alternatively, a counter weight may be used in place of the spriiig 150.
The lever 154 in turn rotates about pivot 156. A cam attached to the door operating shaft 30 can move i, I-- -9between door open and door closed positions 160, 162 respectively when the lever 154 is in the raised position. To rotate the lever 154 to this position, the restoring force of the spring 150 must be overcome. Adjustable stops 166, 168 can be provided to specify the angular excursion of the cam in the open and closed positions 160, 162 respectively.
A governor may also be included with "flush-close"
S..
"°"doors to limit the excursions of the main door operating shaft 30, as shown in Figure 10. In this 15 embodiment, a stepped bar can be rotated between door "o open and door closed positions 170, 172 respectively •determined by screw adjustable stops 176, 178.
.In a further variation of the above embodiments the opening and closing cams 28, 54 may be movable between 20 operative and inoperative positions as shown in Figures 5-8. When inoperative a vehicle may traverse the cams without actuating the opening or closing of the hopper doors as the case may be. For example, when Xhe cams are in their inoperative positions reversing of tihe vehicle over the cams is possible.
For brevity the embodiments of Figures 5-8 are illustrated with respect to the operation of an &*see: S• opening cam only but would equally apply to either form of door operating cam.
In Figures 5, 6 the cam 180 is hinged at 182 and further includes hydraulic or pneumatic actuator 184 with extensible rod 185. Actuator 184 is connected between pivots 186, 188 for rotating the cam 180 out of the path of the trip lever to inactivate the cam.
Typically, only a small rotation angle is required to move the upper part of the cam 180 out of the rolling stock structure gauge (of a railway wagon).
1 In alternative embodiment of Figures 7, 8 the cam(s) 190 could also be made inoperative by shifting the cam by hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder 194 in the direction 196 (perpendicular to the axis of the shaft for example by mounting the cam 190 in sliding tracks 198.
Other means for disabling the cams 28, or 54 may be used, for example, they may be lowered out of the path of the cams rather than rotated or translated as in the embodiments of Figures 5-8.
S 15 Such an embodiment is shown in and will now be described with respect to Figures 11-14.
The cam means comprises a fixed base or housing 300 covered by a cam lid 298 pivoted at upstream end 296 of the housing 300. Figure 11 shows the cam lid 298 S 20 in the retracted position and Figure 12 shows the cam lid 298 in the fully extended position (to engage the associated door operating lever). In the retracted or 56o5 rest position of cam lid 298 the uppermost part of the mechanism sits approximately 80 millimetres above the 25 level of the top of the rail.
S
o Housing 300 is installed such that the cam lid 298 can be placed in the path of the door operating lever in its active or extended position but is out of contact with any rolling stock otherwise. The cam lid would not be activated until the locomotive had passed.
Housing 300 encloses the cam actuating mechanism which includes a pneumatic cylinder 302, a mechanical arm 304 incorporating an over-centre linkage, and spring 306. The over-centre linkage comprises a singular arm 308 hinged to a pair of arms 310. Arm 308 is additionally connected by a flange 309 to the drive rod of cylinder 302, and at its other end to arm 304 I -11at pivot 305. The pair of arms 310 are rotatably fixed at 294 to housing 300 and pivot at their other end about arm 308.
The over-centre linkage operates in a well known manner and similar to that described above with respect to the linkages 34, 36, 38 and 40 for the door operating mechanism. The shape of the curved tongue 311 attached to the arm 308 acts as a cam which in co-operation with the adjustable nut 313 controls the amount of over-centre of the linkage.
15 Arm 304 pivots on the 'housing 300 at one end 314 and has a clevis 316, comprising a pair of arms, at the other end. The clevis 316 supports the base 318 of spring 306 which, at its other end 320, is pivotally attached by pin 340 to the cam lid 298. The exterior 20 surface 322 of the cam lid 298 is shaped to the required cam profile. The cross-section of surface 323 shows an opening cam profile while that of surface 322 shows a closing cam profile.
In normal operation the cam surface 322, 323 is moved 25 into its retracted and extended positions by feeding air to the cylinder 302. This may be d nu manually or automatically by operating a valve. The lid 298 is locked in place in its extended position as shown in Figure 12 by the action of the over-centre linkage of arm 308 and arms 310.
In approaching the retracted position, stop 328 engages a shock absorber 330 which dampens any overtravel of the cam lid 298.
Control of the movement of the cam lid 298 can also be achieved by the pin 312 affixed to the arm 304. As shown in Figures 13, 14 the cam lid 298 has sides 332 pllAPaP~~~ -12depending substantially vertically from surface 322, 323 over the sides of housing 300. Pin 312 extends through an arcuate slot 334 in the housing 300.
The sides 332 are shaped along their free edges in a profile 333 which engages pin 312 when sufficient deflection of spring 306 occurs with the cam lid 298 in the extended position due, for example to excessive force acting on the cam surface 322 and depending on c the stiffness of the spring 306. The profile 333 r, °.determines the force driving the pin 312 along the 15 arcuate slot 334. As it moves past a predetermined position, which can be adjusted by nut 313 as stated above, the pin 312 forces arms 308, 310 under-centre and the arm 304 collapses to retain the cam lid 298 in the down or retracted position of Figure 11.
This function is designed to avoid damage to the cam f mechanism through accidential collision with unintended and inappropriate objects, for example a locomotive.
I
The externally accessible linkage pin 312 also allows 25 a manual operation of the cam activating mechanism in, for example, the case of air supply failure. The cam lid 298 can be lifted manually and locked in the over-centre position by using a hook to pull the protruding linkage pin 312 into the over-centre position. Similarly the cam lid 298 can be retracted by pulling the linkage pin 312 to the under-centre position as described above.
The spring 306 provides control of the motion of the cam lid 298 when the trip lever of a wagon is being engaged and also allows.for variations in the position of the trip lever, or in the height of the wagon. The height of a wagon will depend upon a number of -13factors, including wear of the wheels or loading of the wagon, in particular asymmetric loading of the wagon which may place one side of the vehicle lower than the other.
The shape of the cam surfaces 322, 323 in particular in the case of the closing cam 322 is now more linear than as shown in Figures 1 or 2.
N a< By having the cam lid 298 rest 80 millimetres above the o' surface 345 of the rail in its retracted position, and therefore above the grating normally installed at rail 0, 15 level at dumping stations, it is possible to easily 00 remove it for servicing of the internal parts of the 000e
SV
G'o, mechanism. This is done by removing the pivot pin at 296 and the pin 340 which holds the top end of the spring 306 within a rest or cradle 342 of housing 300.
20 The rest 342 holds the top of the spring 306 in place when the cam lid is removed and the lid 298 can be 0004 O 5 replaced easily without having to re-align the top of the spring with the hole 341 in the cam lid to accommodate the pin which secures the two together.
25 Plates 344 attached to the inside of the housing 300 and strips 346 on the inside of the cam lid 298 are ne synthetic low friction liners to facilitate respectively movement of the actuator-linkage mechanism and the cam lid. Associated strips (not shown) on the outside of the housing 300 align with the strips 346 on the inside of the cam lid 298. The plates 344 provide lateral restraint for the actuator-linkage mechanism.
A rubber buffer 348 is provided at the start of the opening cam 322 to reduce the shock and wear to the cam.
r II -14- Preferably, the vehicle moves relative to stationary cams relying on the force and momentum of the vehicle's motion to operate the levers. However, operation of the opening and closing cam surfaces may be achieved by moving the cams relative to the vehicle's hopper doors with the vehicle substantially stationary.
Thus a cam-operated opening and closing system has a *been disclosed without the reliability problems and power requirements of prior art hydraulic or pneumatic rs :e ,actuators. The operation of the opening and closing e 15 of the hopper doors is effected by the relative motion *o of the hopper with respect to the cam surfaces. The ,O, hopper need only be moved relative to the first and second cam surfaces to effect the opening or the closing action thereof.
0S 00 S 20 Obviously in its application it can be used to provide sequential operation of the hopper doors on a single o, vehicle, or, particularly in the case of railway wagons, of several vehicles (wagons).
The invention is made of materials suitable for the e, 25 purpose for the construction of vehicles of the required type as well-known to a person skilled in the art.
Other variations are contemplated within the knowledge of a person skilled in the art.
