Auto-rack railroad car door locking assembly splice

In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides an door locking assembly splice including an extension tube having opposing top and bottom ends, a lock rod connection assembly connected to the top end of the extension tube, a handle connection assembly connected to the extension tube between the top end and the bottom end of the extension tube, and a cam assembly connected to the bottom end of the extension tube, that enables a damaged door rod locking assembly to be easily, quickly, and efficiently repaired.

Delayed emergency release unit

The manual release mechanism described herein enables a passenger to attempt to manually open the transit door, but delays opening until the vehicle is no longer moving. A motion transfer device (14) moves to an unlocking position of the door lock (10) only when the manual release mechanism is activated to store energy in a mechanical energy storage device (40), and an electromechanical device (26) is de-energized to release the motion transfer device (14).

Double-decker rail vehicle

A double-track vehicle, comprising upper and lower carriages, which are respectively a passenger carriage (1) for providing passenger seats and a cargo carriage (2) for placing cargo, the passenger carriage (1) and the cargo carriage (2) being respectively provided with a passenger door (3) for passengers to get on and off and a cargo door (4) for loading and unloading cargo. The vehicle carries out simultaneous transport of passengers and cargo, allowing for the function of the rail vehicle to no longer be singular and largely reducing transport and maintenance costs. At the same time, passenger transport and cargo transport are divided into two layers, which completely separates cargo transport and passenger transport, thereby providing passengers with a comfortable seating environment and improving seating safety.

A door control device includes: an electric motor control unit configured to drive, in response to a closing command for closing a door that is driven to be opened and closed by an electric motor, the electric motor; a door closed state detection unit configured to detect a closed state of the door; and a lock command output unit configured to output a lock command to lock a locking device of the door, upon the closed state being detected when a predetermined waiting time has passed after the electric motor was driven by the electric motor control unit in response to the closing command and the closed state was detected by the door closed state detection unit.

Rapid discharge door locking system

According to some embodiments, a discharge door locking system for a railcar discharge door comprises a lock piston configured to move between a first position (not engaged with an operating beam coupled to a discharge door) and a second position (engaged). The locking system comprises a first and second input. Activation of the first input moves the lock piston to the first position, and activation of the second input moves the lock piston to the second position. The first input of the locking system is coupled to a first input of an operating cylinder coupled to the operating beam. The first input of the operating cylinder is configured to move the discharge door to the open position.

A SERVICE VEHICLE WITH A VEHICLE PEN

A service vehicle operates on a rail system of a storage and retrieval grid. The service vehicle is configured for retrieving a remotely operated vehicle for service. The service vehicle includes a first vehicle area in which the remotely operated vehicle can be received by the service vehicle while the remotely operated vehicle is still on the rail system, and a second vehicle area in which the remotely operated vehicle can be supported by the service vehicle for servicing. The first vehicle area is configured as a vehicle pen for holding the remotely operated vehicle before entry to the second vehicle area. The first vehicle area is linked to the second vehicle area for passage of the remotely operated vehicle via the vehicle pen. The vehicle pen includes an entry barrier to regulate entry of the remotely operated vehicle into the service vehicle and the vehicle pen, and an exit barrier on exit from the vehicle pen into the second vehicle area to regulate the passage of the remotely operated vehicle through the first vehicle area and into the second vehicle area.
