Aspects of the disclosure relate to an engine support system and method. The engine support system includes a frame mounted engine support and at least one engine mounted coupler. The engine support includes a frame mount with a telescoping body and opposing arms to releasably engage a frame of a vehicle, and at least one jack assembly. Each jack assembly includes a collar coupled to and horizontally movable along the telescoping body, and a jack rod coupled to and vertically movable relative to the collar. The jack rod includes a ball mount configured to insert into the coupler at an underside of an engine block of the vehicle. Each jack assembly is configured to support and/or lift the engine block relative to the vehicle frame by vertical movement of the ball mount into the coupler and relative to the frame mount engaged with the vehicle frame.
Abstract:
An unmanned, rapid and circular transportation system for airport passengers and luggage mainly includes an unmanned, rapid and vertical circular transportation system for passengers, an unmanned, rapid and full-plane or local-interchange circular transportation system for passengers' luggage, and a control system therefor. The whole system comprises an oval-shaped central area for passengers to consign and pick up luggage and a plurality of corridors which are arranged radially with the center of the oval shape as an origin. Passenger plane gate positions are arranged on two sides of the corridors. The unmanned, rapid and vertical circular transportation system for passengers is arranged at a second floor of the corridors, and the unmanned, rapid and full-plane or local-interchange circular transportation system for passengers' luggage is arranged in the central area and at a first floor of the corridors, and is substantially level with an external passenger plane docking deck.
Abstract:
A component supplier of the present disclosure includes a magazine that stores pallets, a table that is provided in front of the magazine and is provided with a standby tables in multiple tiers in an up-and-down direction, a first lift that moves the table up and down, and a pallet supplier that is provided in front of the table and that includes a supply table which holds at least one of the pallets at a component supply position where the component is supplied. The table has a first placing and withdrawing unit that places and withdraws the pallet between the magazine and the standby tables and a second lift that moves the first placing and withdrawing unit up and down. The pallet supplier has a second placing and withdrawing unit that places and withdraws the pallet between the standby tables and the supply table.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a chassis assembly device of a vehicle assembly line used to assemble a plurality of components on a vehicle body in an assembly process including a main lift disposed on a carriage and configured to move along a carriage line, support a vehicle body, and lift upward or downward; and a sub lift unit disposed on the carriage to lift the plurality of components to an assembly position of the vehicle body.
Abstract:
A transverse adjustment mechanism for a bilateral half-spring type load-carrying head is installed in the casing of the load-carrying head of the lifting unit of a pit type unwheeling machine, fixedly connected with the casing, directly connected to an adjustment unit at the end of the load-carrying head, and installed on a lead screw of the adjustment unit. The transverse adjustment mechanism includes an adjusting nut, an adjusting nut guide, a guiding tube, and a guiding sleeve, a nut mounting plate, a flange plate, a compression spring and a sliding shaft. The invention is currently applied to the transverse adjustment of the no-loading heads and transverse fine adjustment of the load-carrying heads of a China Railway High-speed (CRH) train. The structure is reliable and practical, safe, convenient and energy-saving to use and satisfies the demand for the synchronous lifting operation of the entire CRH train of the compatible pit type unwheeling machine.
Abstract:
An elevation mechanism includes a platform, a base assembly, a scissor lift assembly and a sliding assembly. The base assembly includes a threaded rod having two threaded portions and two threaded members threadedly engaging with the threaded rod. Rotation directions of the two threaded portion are opposite to each other. The scissor lift assembly includes a plurality of articulated first scissor legs and a plurality of articulated second scissor legs pivotedly coupled to the respective second scissor legs. The sliding assembly includes two fixing members fixed to the platform, a sliding rod fixed between the two fixing members, and two sliding members slidablely connected to the sliding rod. The two sliding members are correspondingly pivotedly connected to the upmost first and second scissor leg. The two threaded members are pivotedly connected to the lowermost first and second scissor legs.
Abstract:
An apparatus for removing a wheelset from a railroad vehicle includes a frame configured for motion with respect to the railroad vehicle. The apparatus also includes a lifting yoke cooperatively associated with the frame. The yoke is configured to engage flanges of the wheelset. The apparatus further includes at least one lifting screw interposed between the frame and the lifting yoke, such that upon rotation of the at least one lifting screw, the yoke may be raised and lowered to selectively engage the flanges of the wheelset. A “universal” lifting yoke can include a first portion which engages the at least one lifting screw, a set of extendable transverse members having outward ends, and flange-engaging blocks secured to the outward ends of the extendable transverse members and configured to engage the flanges of the wheelset. The extendable transverse members and the flange-engaging blocks can be cooperatively configured and dimensioned to engage substantially all anticipated wheelsets expected to be encountered in a given application. The “universal yoke” can be employed with screw-actuation, or with other types of actuating members.
Abstract:
A frame, a system and a method elevates an article are from a floor to a wall. The frame may have an “A” frame for supporting the article. The article may be placed on the frame and secured to the frame. A drive system attached to the frame is used to pull the frame and the article towards the wall. A drive system elevates the front end of the frame and pulls the back end of the frame toward the wall such that the frame and the article are elevated in a vertical position. The frame and the article may be lowered from the vertical position by the drive system.
