DEVICE FOR TURNING RAILWAY WHEELS WITHOUT THEIR REMOVAL FROM VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC B23B5/32 

FIELD: rail vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: device relates to devices for turning of railway wheels without their removal from transport facilities, is intended for elimination of wheel pairs by turning, in particular, elimination of local or general increase in width of wheels. Device for turning wheels without their removal from vehicles includes support installed on inclined plane of base, to lower plane of which there is a gripping-clamping assembly for head of rail. Rail head gripping-and-clamping assembly is made in form of U-shaped bracket, vertical walls of which on inner side are made in form of lodgements formed by planes tangent to profile of rail head side at points of radii of conjugation of vertical and horizontal faces. Between one vertical wall of the U-shaped bracket and the rail head there is an insert, one inner longitudinal side of which is in contact with the rail head, is made in the form of a lodgement formed by planes tangential to the profile of the rail head lateral sides. On the outer longitudinal side of the insert there are vertical and inclined faces for commensurate interaction with the cylindrical ends of the clamping screws installed by threaded sections in the threaded holes made in the vertical walls of the U-shaped bracket, insert is equipped with a protrusion, in working condition entering the slot in the corresponding vertical wall of the U-shaped bracket of the gripping-clamping unit and preventing vertical displacement of the insert relative to the bracket and rotation of the device relative to the longitudinal axis of the rail during turning.

EFFECT: enabling expansion of technological capabilities.
