DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Implementations of the present invention are explained and descried below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, in this embodiment, an underframe end structure without a bolster beam for a rail vehicle includes an underframe end beam 1, an underframe edge beam 7, an underframe floor 9, a coupler mounting base 3, two oblique support beams 2, two coupler support beams 4, a coupler connecting base 5, a traction beam 6, and a front-end connecting plate 8, as shown in FIG. 1. All components are separately welded or separately processed, and then are assembled in a welded manner. The coupler mounting base 3, the oblique support beams 2, the two coupler support beams 4, the coupler connecting base 5, and the traction beam 6 are welded to the bottom face (the lower surface) of an underframe floor 9.

[0024] The front of the coupler mounting base 3 is connected to the underframe end beam 1 through the oblique support beams 2, two sides of the coupler mounting base 3 are connected to the underframe edge beam 7 through the coupler support beams 4, to form a main frame, so that quadrilateral frame structures are respectively formed on the two sides of the coupler mounting base 3, to help transmission of a force. The two oblique support beams 2 form an included angle of 65° with a forward opening (the included angle between the oblique support beams ranges from 55° to 80°, preferably from 62° to 68°), the two coupler support beams 4 form an included angle of 130° with a backward opening (the included angle between the coupler support beams relatively properly ranges from 120° to 140°). The oblique support beams 2 are connected to the underframe edge beam 7 through the front-end connecting plate 8, so that a force transmission area of the vehicle is enlarged when the vehicle bears a force. In addition, this connection does not affect an anti-climbing device or a lead-up space.

[0025] The two oblique support beams 2 are connected to the coupler mounting base 3 to form a specific angle, which is adjustable according to a swing space of a coupler, to powerfully ensure a motion space and an installation space of the coupler. The coupler mounting base 3 is connected to a plate through a profile. An interface of the coupler is directly extruded from the profile to avoid welding. The extruded profile is in a “Y-shaped” structure, which is beneficial to transmission of a longitudinal force. As shown in FIG. 2, the coupler connecting base 5 is disposed behind the coupler mounting base 3, and the coupler connecting base 5 is connected by using a plate, to form a gentle frame connecting structure, which is beneficial to bearing of a longitudinal force. A baffle inside the coupler mounting base 3 is provided with a hole, to ensure a decoupling space of the coupler during a collision of a vehicle, and also prevent the coupler from falling into a track and causing secondary disasters.

[0026] The front end of the traction beam 6 is welded to the coupler connecting base 5, and the traction beam 6 is connected to the underframe floor 9, and is transitioned to the underframe floor 9 through a connecting plate, so that a force that is borne is transmitted to the underframe floor, and the entire structure is used for bearing. The traction beam 6 can extend into a bolster beam according to a force bearing status, to enhance transmission of a force.

[0027] All of the foregoing structures are made of alloy material, and this solution is applicable to structural design of two-position ends of a locomotive.

[0028] A production process of the underframe end structure without a corbel beam for a rail vehicle in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0029] Step 1: Weld a coupler mounting base 3, coupler support beams 4, and oblique support beams 2 to form a main frame, where an included angle of 55° to 80° with a forward opening is formed between the coupler support beams 4, and an included angle of 120° to 140° with a backward opening is formed between the oblique support beams 2.

[0030] Step 2: Weld a coupler connecting base 5 to the rear of the coupler mounting base 3, and weld a traction beam 6 to the rear of the coupler connecting base 5, to form an end bearing structure.

[0031] Step 3: Weld an underframe end beam 1, an underframe edge beam 7, and an underframe floor 9 to form an entire structure.

[0032] Step 4: Weld the end bearing structure to the entire structure, specifically including: welding the front end of the oblique support beam 2 to the underframe end beam 1, welding the outer end of the coupler support beam 4 to the underframe edge beam 7, and welding the end bearing structure to the bottom face of the underframe floor 9, to form an entire end structure without a bolster beam.

[0033] At this point, assembly of the entire underframe end structure without a bolster beam is completed.

[0034] In addition to the foregoing embodiments, the present invention may further include other implementations. Any technical solution formed through equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope claimed in the present invention.
