Specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.
In order to overcome the problems caused by the mode of manually measuring the track at present, the manual measuring mode is gradually replaced by a track inspection robot. However, since the track inspection robot needs to detect the inner side of the track during the detection process, the detection sensor of the track inspection robot needs to be disposed below the surface of the track, and the wheels of the track inspection robot need to be disposed above the surface of the track in order to realize the traveling of the track inspection robot on the track. The probe of the detection sensor is usually set at a position not larger than a predetermined size on the rail surface, for example, at a position not larger than 16 mm on the rail surface. Therefore, the position of the detection sensor of the track inspection robot is lower than the position of the wheels, and therefore the track inspection robot cannot directly use the wheels to walk on a plane.
In which fig. 1 is a schematic view of the structure of a rail inspection robot to which a transfer vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is fitted. As shown in fig. 1, the track inspection robot adapted to the transfer vehicle according to the embodiment includes: the robot body 11, the longitudinal beam 12 for bearing the robot body 11, the wheels 13 arranged below the longitudinal beam 12, and the detection sensor (not shown in the figure) with the height lower than the preset height of the lowest point of the wheels 13 are worth explaining, the position where the detection sensor is arranged can be determined according to the actual structure, but what needs to be ensured is that the detection sensor is the lowest point of the whole track inspection robot, so that the detection sensor can detect the inner side of the track when the wheels 13 walk on the track.
In order to accomplish the transfer of the above track inspection robot, fig. 2 is a schematic view showing the structure of a transfer vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, fig. 3 is an exploded view showing the structure of the transfer vehicle shown in fig. 2, and fig. 8 is a schematic view showing the structure of the transfer vehicle shown in fig. 3 for the track inspection robot transportation.

That is, the first frame 211 and the second frame bar 212, the second frame bar 212 and the third frame bar 213, the third frame bar 213 and the fourth frame bar 214, and the fourth frame bar 214 and the first frame 211 are connected by the first corner connector 252, respectively. Specifically, the first angle 252 may be respectively installed in the sidewall installation grooves 2111 of any two adjacent frame bars in a threaded manner, so as to connect the two frame bars. In addition, since the mounting grooves 2111 are formed in each of the side walls of the first frame 211, the second frame bar 212, the third frame bar 213 and the fourth frame bar 214, the assembly can be mounted at any position in the mounting grooves 2111, which facilitates the mounting and position adjustment of other parts on the frame 21, and also ensures a sufficient mounting position when the entire vehicle needs to be mounted with other parts in an ascending order.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of the support seat in the transfer trolley shown in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 5, the supporting seat 23 of the transfer vehicle provided by this embodiment can adopt a layered design, so as to achieve light weight while ensuring effective support and installation function. Specifically, the support seat 23 may include: a support seat mounting portion 233, a support seat reinforcing portion 232 provided on the support seat mounting portion 233, and a support seat supporting portion 231 provided on the support seat reinforcing portion 232.
Here, a support mounting hole 2331 is provided on the support mounting portion 233, and the support mounting hole 2331 is used to form a detachable connection with the frame 21, for example, the support 23 may be integrally mounted in the mounting grooves 2111 at four corner points of the rectangular frame 21 through the support mounting hole 2331 by a screw connection.
The support seat reinforcing portion 232 may be provided with a rib 2321, for example, a cross rib, so as to improve the overall support rigidity and effectively prevent the support seat 23 from deforming when being pressed.
In addition, the support seat support portions 233 are groove structures with one side wall open, wherein the openings of the two support seat support portions 233 which are oppositely arranged. It should be noted that the two support seat support portions 233 are oppositely disposed to support both ends of the longitudinal beam 12 of the track inspection robot, and the number of pairs of the support seats 23 may be determined according to the number of the longitudinal beams 12 supporting the track inspection robot.
For example, if 2 longitudinal beams 12 are provided on the track inspection robot, two pairs of support seats 23 may be provided. And when being provided with 3 longerons 12 on the track inspection robot, because all be provided with mounting groove 2111 on the lateral wall of every frame pole, can conveniently increase a pair of supporting seat 23 on relative position additionally. In addition, due to the fact that the installation groove 2111 structure is arranged on the side wall of each frame rod, the relative position of each pair of supporting seats 23 can be adjusted adaptively according to different longitudinal beam sizes of the actual track inspection robot.
Optionally, a protrusion may be further disposed on the longitudinal beam 12 of the track inspection robot, for example, a mounting bolt is disposed on the longitudinal beam 12, in order to avoid interference between the protrusion on the longitudinal beam 12 and the support portion 233 on the support 23 when the track inspection robot is placed on the support 23, an avoidance hole 2312 may be further formed on the support portion, wherein the avoidance hole 2312 may be a semicircular hole, or may be a shape of the protrusion that is avoided as required to determine adaptability, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

With continued reference to fig. 1, since the external spindle 14 is usually detachably connected to one side of the track inspection robot, if the external spindle 14 is continuously mounted on the track inspection robot during transportation, the external spindle may cause uneven weight distribution, which may cause the external spindle 14, which is likely to send a rollover or extend out, to collide with an external obstacle during transportation using a transfer vehicle.
In order to place the external shaft 14 properly during transportation, an external shaft seat 24 may be further disposed on the frame 21. Wherein fig. 6 is a schematic structural view of an external axle seat in the transfer vehicle shown in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 2-3 and fig. 6, the external shaft seat 24 in this embodiment is oppositely disposed on the frame 21. Alternatively, the first frame 211 and the third frame rod 213 may be provided with the external shaft seats 24 in opposite directions. And the number of the external axle seats 24 can be determined according to the number of the external axle 14 on the track inspection robot.

A second elastic part 2421 is disposed on a groove wall of the receiving groove 242, and a clamping part 2422 is disposed on the second elastic part 2421. It should be noted that the distance between the clamping portions 2422 is smaller than the outer diameter of the external shaft 14, so that the clamping portions 2422 can limit the radial displacement of the external shaft 14 after the external shaft 14 is clamped into the receiving slot 242. Specifically, the accommodating clamping groove 242 may have a U-shaped structure, and the second elastic portion 2421 may be a rubber layer or other elastic material bonded to the inner wall of the accommodating clamping groove 242, so as to clamp the external shaft 14 in an interference fit manner, and the clamping portion 2422 is disposed in the middle of the second elastic portion 2421, so as to prevent the external shaft 14 from being disengaged during the transferring process.
In addition, for the rolling wheel set in the above embodiment, in order to realize that the track inspection robot can be conveniently steered when being transported, thereby increasing the transportation flexibility, the rolling wheel set on the transportation vehicle provided in the embodiment can be set as a universal wheel. Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing the structure of the rolling wheel assembly of the transfer vehicle shown in fig. 3, and as shown in fig. 7, the rolling wheel assembly of this embodiment is a universal wheel 25, and the universal wheel 25 can be mounted on the mounting groove 2111 of the side wall of the frame bar and the first corner piece 252. So that universal wheels 25 are provided at four corner positions of the frame 21, respectively. In addition, it should be noted that the number of the universal wheels 25 arranged on the transfer vehicle can also be determined according to the actual load bearing condition, and the specific number is not limited in this embodiment.
