Abstract

A lower locking pin body (1) for the hinge joint between a lower locking pin (5) and a lower locking pin hook (6) has a suspending hole (11,12) of a coupler lock lifter (20) to facilitate it rotating surrounding the lower locking pin hook (6) under the effect of the hole. There are two coupler suspending holes (11,12) which are respectively arranged on each side ends of the lower locking pin body (1) to facilitate the workers opening the coupler on either side of a car. A two-side operating coupler (10) with above said lower lock pin body (1) and a draft gear are provided, wherein the draft gear also includes two lock lifters (20) and two lock lifter seats (30).The lock lifters (20) are mounted into a key-shaped hole (31) of the lock lifter seats (30), and the lock lifter (20) has a limiting segment (21) on the matched position. Two hook head ends of the lock lifters (20) pass respectively out from the key-shaped holes（31） of the coupler lock lifter seats (30) and hang with the coupler lock lifter (20) suspension hole (11,12) of the two-side operating coupler. It has clearance between the limiting segment (21) of the coupler lock lifter (20) and a stripe-shaped hole wall of the key-shaped hole (31).

Abstract

A draft gear yoke of a draft gear for a railway freight car includes a draft gear yoke body (1) and a draft key retainer (3).The head of the draft gear yoke body (1) has a draft key hole for installing a draft key that is connected with the coupler. A draft key retainer (3) for supporting the draft key is installed underneath the head of the draft gear yoke body (1). The shape of the upper surface of a supporting part of the draft key retainer (3) corresponds with a lower surface of the draft key to form surface-contact between the two surfaces. It strengthens safety and reliability of the draft gear yoke.

Abstract

A mechanism for preventing tripping of a coupler includes a lower locking pin rod (1), a coupler body (5) and a rotating shaft (2). The rotating shaft (2) is located in a strip-shaped mounting hole (11) of a lower locking pin rod (1) and a round mounting hole of a coupler body (5) in order to realize hinge joint between the lower locking pin rod (1) and the coupler body (5); An upper surface of a rotating shaft (2) has an axial boss (21), a hole wall of the coupler body (5) above the rotating shaft (2) is arranged with an axial recess (53) which receives the axial boss (21); The rotating shaft (2) can move axially relative to the lower locking pin rod (1) and the coupler body (5),and it has two working positions. When the rotating shaft (2) moves to the first working position, an inner end of the boss (21) is located into the strip-shaped mounting hole (11) of  the lower locking pin rod (1), an upper wall of the strip-shaped mounting hole (11)contacts against the boss (21), the lower locking pin rod (1) is rotated in the coupler opening direction, a tripping preventing table (12) of the lower locking pin rod (1) can contact against a tripping preventing surface (52) of the coupler body (5). When the rotating shaft (2) moves to the second working position, the boss (21) is located into the mounting hole’s recess (53) of the coupler body (5), the upper wall of the strip-shaped mounting hole (11) contacts against an outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft (2).The invention also includes a car body coupler with the mechanism for preventing tripping of a coupler The invention realizes reliable dual performance of preventing the coupler from opening a lock.
