88 Manually operated Coach Window rod Snapper Tool for removing window Rod & Quick rescue of Passengers at Accident Site

ART Team of Hubli Division of South Western Railways has developed a very effective Rescue Device for removing Coach window rods quickly. Hubli Division has developed two model variants : 1 m & 1.6m length Snapper tool with a C section Grip snapper made of HSS. The C Section Grip Snapper is having threaded connection to the Pipe as well as uniformly CO2 welded over the joint. The C section Grip Snapper is having opening of 13mm which holds & snaps the window rod from its roots very quickly & it can remove all rods of one windows in approx 30-45secs . It is manually operated. The Rescue staff has to grab the window rod with this tool & with slight force application , the rod will get removed from the base. This type of rod removal is very safe as compared to cutting of rods at corner by hydraulic devices since there is no sharp edge generated by this manual tool (which is there in hydraulic rod cutters,so Magnetic Covers were must to be used to avoid injury to passengers rushing out of the coach).

This tool is very fast in operation as compared to Hydraulic rod cutters. It can remove all rods of a window in 30-40 secs average as compared to 5 mins time with hydraulic rod cutters. Also it removes the rod from its roots, so chances of injury to passenger rushing out of coach is very less. It is very cheaper & can be fabricated very easily in shops.

90 Parikalpo, Android based Coach POH costing APP

OVERVIEW:

Android based POH cost App has been developed at Liluah Workshop.  This effort is the first of* its kind in entire Indian Railways  The main aim of this APP* is uniform distribution of Inspection activities with material booking with respect to Work Orders.  This APP will both be* Web Based and also freely downloadable from Play Store.  The users will be* provided with Login ID and Passwords

WORKING METHODOLOGY OF COACH POH COSTING APP:

  • After initial login, the Inspector will make entry in the prescribed form coach wise and work order wise 
  • After pre-inspection the* Shop Supervisor will make necessary entries after execution of POH work
  • After completion of* POH, final inspection entries would be carried out by Inspectors.
  • Necessary reports can* be generated.

SHOP SUPERVISOR ENTRIES IN COACH POH COSTING APP:

  • Shop Supervisor will login after pre-inspection
  • The pre-inspection timings would be now visible to the Supervisor
  • Remarks can be put in case of disagreement with the preinspection times 
  • After compliance of remarks, Material consumption (coach wise and work order wise) has to be entered 
  • This will help in generating* material cost calculations as per coach
  • Editing after final submission* can be done with the permission from ADMIN

ADVANTAGES:

  • The APP ensures digitization of all inspection sheets
  • This APP will reduce time by eliminating manual entries in all material and inspection sheets
  • All data would be transferred to server ensuring data  safety and security
  • Cost of every coach can be calculated instantly. This was not possible in the existing system.
  • Reasons for variance between pre and final  inspections can be critically analyzed
  • More than 20 types of custom reports can be generated and viewed
  • The introduction of this POH cost based APP will* reduce POH cost in this Workshop by uniform distribution of resources.

92 Repair of Rejected Unloadable wagons in Sidings

IB valley region and Korba region have clusters of coal loading sidings. In each region 30 rakes each, coal is loaded every day. No. of wagons in a rake are rejected as unloadable. The unloadable return embedded empty, incurring loss in earnings.

SECR has undertaken works of attending these rejected wagons before loading by doing temporary repairs, thus making loadable for at least one movement. The work is outsourced using mobile van loaded with Generator and Welding sets. The repair raw material MS plates are also loaded in Mobile van.

The wagons rejected by siding authorities are attended and made temporary loadable. On an average 259 and 186 rejected wagons are made temporary loadable per day at IB valley region and Korba region respectively.

Thus loss of earning @ Rs. 16000/Wagons/Day to the tune of Rs.71.2 lakhs is saved. In the process expenditure incurred is Rs. 0.59 lakhs per day.

By this process SECR is saving/earning about 70.61 lakhs per day.

94 Flexible-Shaft mounted Powered Cleaning-Tool developed by staff of Yesvantpur Depot to de-stench bio-toilets.

Stench removal from Bio-toilets/ normal toilets is a big challenge being faced on IR by coach maintenance wing. Many methods are being tried such as providing exhaust fans at location nearer to squatting pan, or fitting double ventury to have better natural ventilation. However, staff of YPR Depot of SWR looked at the problem a bit differently, they tried to pinpoint the source(s) of the bad-odour. They found that majorly stench emanates from Night Soil (NS) matter which gets stuck on inner surface of Straight Pipe and S- Pipe as well as on to the trash material ( like paper cups, etc.) inadvertently dropped by users in the toilet/pan.

To handle all these sources of stench, the staff initially thought of using a Robotic Arm but finally ended up evolving a Flexible-Shaft mounted Powered Cleaning-Tool. This tool not only is able to effectively traverse and clean the complete straight and S- pipe passage but is able to pull out as well as push out the trash material Cost: - The total cost of the powered tool would be in the range of Rs 4000 to Rs 5000 including spare set of chargeable batteries. Actually the Flexible Shaft and tool costs approximately Rs 500 only and the cost of Battery Operated Drilling Machine on which this tool is mounted is Rs 3000 to Rs 4000. Time Taken: 4 to 5 minutes per toilet are adequate to clean the inner surfaces and for cleaning the S- type passage. From single charging of battery, approximately 9 to 10 coaches can be effectively dealt. Action Plan: Use Flexible-Shaft mounted Powered Cleaning-Tool developed by YPR depot is replicated in all Depots of SWR. All Primary Maintenance Trains of SWR have been covered on 31-08-2018 and the process is being repeated continuously in all SWR depots. It is proposed to provide the tool to OBHS staff also so that effective cleaning is ensured en route.

95 Innovative equipment''s for ART. Equipment A:- Portable Mono Rail cum Road Trolley. Equipment B:- Spacer for Telescopic Lifting Jack

Equipment A:- Multipurpose portable consisting of both Tapered wheels and tyre fixed on one mobile trolley which enabled to trolley operational both on mono rail as well as on flat surface using tyre. This multi utility trolley is extremely efficient while transporting heavy equipments on to accident site. This trolley consists of two numbers of MS solid tapered wheels and two rubber tyre, which can run on mono rail and road respectively. By providing this functionality trolley can be operated both on rail and road. It is a portable trolley which can be operated by single staff for transship of small items or two hydraulic jacks at a time to work spot quickly. Pushing handles are removable and can be fixed from both ends. Road wheels also removable whenever the ballast height is more by the side of rail. Flexible support brackets are fixed at both end of the trolley. 

 

Equipment B:-Two telescopic lifting jacks and one displacement jack are connected to one control panel from which Re-railment operations can be carried out. This system is very easy to Re-rail the coach by using 4.4 meters Re-railing bridge even at the points and crossings. Spacer is made of two telescopic tubes is used to connect two Roller Carriages is take over the direct power transmission and routing. For re-railing the coach, single telescopic hydraulic jack is using below the head stock centre in conventional method. At present condition most of the coaches are fitted with Bio-Toilets. Due to this, place is very less in between two bio-toilets to keep the jack under head stock. In order to overcome this difficulty two telescopic lifting jacks are placed under second lifting pads of the coach (inside the trolley) over the Roller carriages which are connected by spacer. Coach will be lifted with two telescopic jacks simultaneously above the rail level, after those two jacks will be moved laterally as a single unit with the help of displacement jack (traverse jack) from one end to re-rail the coach.
