STARTING OF WORK OF THE UNIVERSAL MAZ 6312В9 ON RAILS

Before starting work on the installation of the MAZ 6312V9 universal machine on the rails, the operator must carefully read and strictly follow the requirements of this manual;

Any sections of the track are suitable for movement, including turnouts and intersections where railway vehicles can move. The superstructure of the track must be in good condition and comply with the requirements of the railway of the customer's country of the MAZ 6312V9 universal machine. Particular attention should be paid to ensure that there is sufficient free space between the groove and the rail head, as well as in the area of \u200b\u200bthe tires of the MAZ 6312V9 Universal Machine.

There must be no foreign objects on the track! on crossings, transborders and turntables, the rails can move relative to each other. for safety reasons, you should move very carefully along these sections of the path and, if possible, eliminate any existing problems in advance.

When driving on a motor road, turn off the hydraulic control element, as well as the control panel for the device for driving on a rail track.

The sections of the track intended for the movement of the MAZ 6312V9 universal machine should be regularly checked for possible malfunctions. A strong displacement of the rail can lead to hard shocks during movement and, thereby, can cause the MAZ 6312V9 Universal Machine to derail. Stones, metal objects or other similar objects located near the rails can also cause derailment, or at least cause severe tire wear of the MAZ 6312V9 Universal Machine.

When driving on sections of track where the rail head is at the level of the road, the width and depth of the grooves should be controlled. Make sure that there are no foreign objects, sand and dirt on the gutters!

The person responsible for the safety and labor protection of the enterprise must ensure that the driver's training level of the MAZ 6312V9 universal machine complies with the requirements of this manual, as well as conduct the necessary instructions and take measures to train personnel.

MOUNTING ON RAILS

If possible, install the MAZ 6312V9 universal machine on the rails on the most level section of the road (the rail head is at the level of the road: for example, at a railway crossing or a specially prepared entrance at the same level with the rail). Make sure the KZHH guide rollers are parallel to the rails!

To ensure quick setting on the rails, you should first lower the rear and then the front axle of the KZhH!

The pressure of the pneumatic system of the MAZ 6312V9 universal machine must have a rated working air pressure of approx. 6-8Bar.

Useful information: if the front part of the QLC is not parallel to the rails, the operator can move the MAZ 6312V9 Universal Machine in reverse and thus the position can be leveled.

TRAFFIC ON THE RAILWAY

When driving under the contact wire, follow the safety instructions and take all necessary measures to avoid emergency situations! When crossing the turnouts, make sure the turnouts are in the correct position!

The maximum speed of movement on a rail track should not exceed 40 km / h !!! Drive through intersections and turnouts at the minimum possible speed in order to avoid derailment of the MAZ 6312V9 universal machine from the rails.

REMOVING FROM THE RAIL

• Stop the MAZ 6312V9 universal car at a railway crossing or a specially prepared section of the road, the surface of which is flush with the rail head;
• Using the control handle for the hydraulic distributor section, raise the front KLC to the transport (top) position. Lift the rear part of the QLC device in the same way (see figure) using the QLC control knobs;

MAINTENANCE chassis

Maintenance of the MAZ 6312V9 universal machine itself is carried out in accordance with the instructions of the MAZ 6312V9 chassis manufacturer and the recommendations of the MAZ dealer's service department.

CLC MAINTENANCE:

For the equipment of the combined railway track, the following types of maintenance and the norms for its frequency have been established: shift maintenance; maintenance No. 1, carried out after 1000 km of run; maintenance number 2, carried out after 5000 km of run.

EVERY SHIFT MAINTENANCE

It is carried out before the start of work and after the end of the shift during the shift maintenance, the following work is carried out and check:

• cleaning from dust, dirt and excessive grease;
• absence of lubricant leakage through the oil seals of the axlebox units of the wheels;
• no leaks in the air lines of the brake system;
• tire pressure and its compliance with established standards, tread condition, absence of breaks, delamination, etc .;
• condition of wheels (potholes, flange undercut, wear along the rolling circle) by external inspection;
• fastening covers and stuffing box covers to the wheels, the presence of a cotter wire;
• fastening the bearing beams of the guide wheels;
• tightening the lock nuts in the rails in the racks, cotter pins connecting the axle with the gearbox screws and the rack rods, tightening the bolts of the axle brackets;
• checking the completeness of spare parts.

DURING MAINTENANCE No. 1

it is necessary to perform all the work of the shift maintenance and additionally lubricate the units, as well as carry out a technical inspection of the attachment equipment, in which check:

• condition of structures and devices, attachment points and fasteners, chassis, springs, bearings, etc .;
• smooth rotation of the mating elements of the hinge joints;
• smoothness and absence of jamming when rotating wheels;
• the profile of the rolling surfaces of the wheels (template);
• parallelism of the axles of the wheelsets;
• simultaneous touch of the wheels to the rail heads when they are lowered;

The detected faults must be eliminated immediately. Operation of vehicles with deviations from technical requirements is not allowed .

DURING MAINTENANCE No. 2

It is necessary to carry out all maintenance work No. 1 and additionally:

• remove the wheels, rinse the inner cavities of the wheels with kerosene and lubricate them; install wheels and adjust axial play;
• check the weight distribution of the vehicle and, if necessary, adjust the loads on the wheels and pneumatic wheels;
• check the condition of the driving pneumatic wheels and, if necessary, reposition or replace them with a spare wheel, front wheels and rear outer wheels for uniform wear of the tread. In case of one-sided wear of the tread of the driving wheels, they should be reversed;
• lubricate the units according to the lubrication chart (see table 1.1).

Locomobile MART (universal rail machine) is installed on rails at any railway crossing or a suitable site with deepened rail tracks. The front and rear rollers are hydraulically positioned on the track, raising the front axle above the rail. The rear rollers serve as guiding supports preventing lateral movement of the rear wheels of the locomotive. The track of the drive wheels coincides with the rail track, and the track of the steered wheels is wider than the rail track. The traction force is transmitted to the rails by means of the rear drive wheels.

Pairs of rail wheels are installed with the ability to move relative to the drive wheels (a unique follower mechanism is used, which does not allow the contact of the driving wheels to weaken with the rail surface). Thanks to this technical solution, the specific traction (braking) force of the machine when moving on rails is several times higher than that for steel wheels, and rail wheels maintain reliable contact with the rails under any conditions.

The propulsion unit is the rear wheels of the base chassis, which creates the following advantage: Tractive effort is limited by the rubber-steel friction coefficient and the weight applied to the rear axles of the locomotive. The rubber / steel friction coefficient is approximately three times higher than the steel-steel friction coefficient, which allows the locomobile to move small trains (up to 10 cars). When driving on a road, the holding carts with rail wheels are raised and fixed;

The chassis of the locomobile is designed for equipment and movement on roads and railways with a gauge of 1520 mm. Transport base chassis Ural, KamAZ, ZIL.

On the chassis of the base car, the frame, front axle, rear axles and their suspension are being finalized, fastening parts for equipment for movement on rails, including hydraulic and electrical equipment, as well as equipment and devices necessary for movement on the rail, are introduced. Railroad equipment includes front and rear bogies for rail support, hydraulic system, electro-hydraulic rail control system.

My doubts expressed in the previous posting turned out to be unfounded. The last steam engine on wheels in the USSR was built at the Lyudinovo locomotive, and now - a diesel locomotive plant in 1957. It is highly symbolic that in the same year the first Soviet satellite took off into space.

And the history of Russian locomobilization began about 100 years before that, when mobile steam power plants for industrial and agricultural use began to arrive in the country from abroad. In 1875, the first Russian locomobile was built at the Lyudinovsky steam locomotive plant of the joint-stock company "Maltsovskie Zavody".

Later, the Kolomna steam locomotive plant, the Nikolaev plant of the Butin brothers, the Votkinsk arms plant and a number of others joined the production of locomotives, but Lyudinovsky remained until the end the largest manufacturer of these units both in Tsarist Russia and in the Soviet Union. In 1913, 209 locomotives were made in Lyudinovo (approximately 87% of the total Russian production), in Kolomna - about 20, and at other enterprises they were produced as piece products.

It should be noted that Russian factories only to an insignificant extent satisfied the needs of the industry, electric power industry and agriculture of the country in steam engines. Before the revolution, almost 85% of locomotives operating in Russia were imported.

Among the foreign models, the products of the British firms Ruston & Proctor and Marshall prevailed. After the end of the civil war, the import of British locomotives was briefly resumed, but then it was finally phased out. But the output within the country has grown tenfold. It reached its peak in 1940, when the Lyudinovo plant alone riveted 6400 locomotives! In the future, the production of obsolete cars began to decline.

Unfortunately, of the many thousands of Soviet and Russian locomotives, only a few have survived to this day, and most of them are in a very poor condition. But some of them can still be brought into a decent look, and perhaps even returned to their working capacity.
