Abstract

A railway vehicle, a coupler, and a coupler body thereof. The coupler body comprises an upper traction platform, a lower traction platform, a lock chamber, and a pin hole. A traction surface of an upper traction platform and/or a lower traction platform is divided into a contact area and a yielding area along the direction approaching the lock chamber, an extension face of the end of the contact area close to the lock chamber is an M2 face, and the yielding area is positioned at the side of the M2 face close to the pin hole. The yielding area is positioned on the side of the contact area next to the lock chamber and there is a gap and no contact between the yielding area and a traction platform of a coupler knuckle.

Claims (13)

1. A coupler body, comprising an upper traction platform, a lower traction platform, a lock chamber and a pin hole, wherein a traction surface of the upper traction platform and/or the lower traction platform is divided into a contact area and an avoidance area, wherein the avoidance area is closer to the lock chamber than the contact area an extension surface of one end of the contact area close to the lock chamber is defined as M2, and the avoidance area is located on one side of the M2 surface close to the pin hole; and

the avoidance area is an inner wall of a groove provided on the traction surface of the upper traction platform and/or the lower traction platform.

2. The coupler body according to claim 1 , wherein a first end of the avoidance area is connected with the contact area and a second end of the avoidance area is far away from the contact area, a direction from left to right and perpendicular to an axis of the pin hole is defined as a first extension direction, a front side of the coupler body is configured to engage with a coupler knuckle, an extension distance from the first end to the second end of the avoidance area along the first extension direction is defined as L 2 , and 60 mm>L 2 >10 mm.

3. The coupler body according to claim 1 , wherein the contact area is a curved surface.

4. The coupler body according to claim 1 , wherein the contact area is an arc surface and protrudes away from the pin hole.

5. The coupler body according to claim 1 , wherein the avoidance area is a curved surface.

6. The coupler body according to claim 1 , wherein a section I of an impact surface of an upper impact platform and a section J of an impact surface of an upper pin-protecting flange are obtained by taking a cross section view by cutting a coupler knuckle along a vertical plane perpendicular to a tangent plane of the impact surface of the upper impact platform or along a vertical plane perpendicular to a tangent plane of the traction surface of the upper pin-protecting flange of the coupler body, a minimum horizontal distance between the section I and the section J is defined as f, and 15 mm≤f≤30 mm; and/or,

a section K of an impact surface of a lower impact platform and a section M of an impact surface of a lower pin-protecting flange are obtained by taking a cross section view by cutting the coupler knuckle along a vertical plane perpendicular to a tangent plane of the impact surface of the lower impact platform or along a vertical plane perpendicular to a tangent plane of a traction surface of the lower pin-protecting flange of the coupler body, a minimum horizontal distance between the section K and the section M is defined as g, and 15 mm≤g≤30 mm.

7. The coupler body according to claim 6 , wherein a section N of an inner wall of the pin hole and a section O of the impact surface of the upper pin-protecting flange are obtained by taking a cross section view by cutting the coupler knuckle along a vertical plane perpendicular to a tangent plane of the inner wall of the pin hole or along a vertical plane perpendicular to a tangent plane of the traction surface of the upper pin-protecting flange, a minimum horizontal distance between the section N and the section O is defined as h, and 15 mm≤h≤30 mm; and/or,

a section P of the inner wall of the pin hole and a section Q of the impact surface of the lower pin-protecting flange are obtained by taking a cross section view by cutting the coupler knuckle along a vertical plane perpendicular to the tangent plane of the inner wall of the pin hole or along a vertical plane perpendicular to the tangent plane of the traction surface of the lower pin-protecting flange, a minimum horizontal distance between the section P and the section Q is defined as i, and 15 mm≤i≤30 mm.

8. A coupler, comprising a coupler knuckle and a coupler body,

wherein the coupler body is the coupler body according to any one of claim 1 .

9. A railway vehicle comprising a coupler, wherein the coupler is the coupler according to claim 8 .
