Stepping on "mushrooms" in spring

author:Prairie Railway

The spring breeze blows

The willow branches spit green

Wild mushrooms in the mountains

It ushered in a lush growth season

Even the rails grew "iron mushrooms"

There are also people who provide them with exclusive services

What's going on?

I'll take you to take a look

Stepping on "mushrooms" in spring

Look at these deceleration tops, all of them are big and thin, like 'mushrooms' that grow on steel rails?

In the marshalling yard of Baotou West Railway Station

Foreman Zhao Yun led the equipment workshop to decelerate the top work area

6 employees

Started the spring inspection and spring inspection of the deceleration top equipment

Baotou West Railway Station is the largest regional marshalling station in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia, and the spring driving equipment ushered in a new round of "comprehensive physical examination".

Through the careful and meticulous "pulse checking" of the employees, all kinds of driving equipment run well in sandy days, "cold spring" and other weather conditions, and lay a solid equipment foundation for transportation safety.

It is the main place for efficient train marshalling

A deceleration top shaped like a mushroom

It is a key equipment to regulate the walking speed of the vehicle

Knowledge points

The function of the deceleration top: when the wheel passes over the deceleration top, the compressed deceleration top will give the wheel a reverse resistance to slow it down, and the deceleration top will bounce up immediately after the wheel leaves to prepare for the next deceleration. In this way, the vehicle has run over enough deceleration tops, and the speed slowly decreases.

Freight trains are handled on a daily basis

More than 11,000 vehicles

Baotou West Railway Station marshalling yard

The 43 shunting lines are evenly distributed

9,660 units of reduction top equipment

Due to the all-weather nature of railway transportation

These devices need to be used 24 hours a day

Ultra-high frequency of use

This makes internal parts susceptible to wear and tear

If maintenance and repair are not carried out in time

There is a high probability of a security incident

therefore

Precise maintenance of the reduction top

It has become the key to ensuring the safety and efficiency of shunting operations

Today, we will inspect and maintain the 448 deceleration jacks in the downward marshalling yard, and whether the deceleration jacks are faulty or not, you can know by stepping on them, and the young people in the work area call this 'stepping on mushrooms'.

Zhao Yun, who has been engaged in the maintenance of deceleration jacks for many years

The experience is very rich

I saw him gently step on a deceleration top

With the leg steady force

The deceleration roof slowly descended

In the reduction top maintenance operation

Two maintenance workers are in charge of a strand

One from the beginning and one from the tail

Judge by the feeling of your feet

Whether the reduction top is faulty

For them

Repeated "stepping on the top" work

It was a double test of physical strength and patience

Stepping on "mushrooms" in spring

It's a bad top, it's lost its deceleration and must be dealt with immediately.

Through meticulous overhaul

A deceleration top that does not rebound was found

Maintenance worker Xiong Xin immediately skillfully disassembled and replaced

Take the fault top back to deal with it

And record the repair process item by item

To maintain the safety of the equipment in the future

Accumulation of data

Stepping on "mushrooms" in spring

Operators insist on fine inspection and careful repair

Make full use of the "combination of dynamic and static".

Comprehensive equipment management system

By dynamic inspection during the overhaul process

Static observation during use

Make every effort to ensure the safety of your equipment

Escort the safe operation of trains

Stepping on "mushrooms" in spring

In March, it is warm and cold

A busy marshalling yard at Baotou West Railway Station

Reduction top after overhaul

Issued under the crushing of the wheels

The crisp sound of "tick, dodo".

It's like a forward movement

Stepping on "mushrooms" in spring
