2025-03-25

The maintenance and repair of rail vehicles are interrelated and complementary, working together to ensure the normal operation and extend the service life of rail vehicles.
Definition and distinction of maintenance and repair
Maintenance and repair play different roles in the maintenance of rail vehicles. Maintenance refers to the regular maintenance and protection of rail vehicle components to ensure their normal operation. Maintenance includes preventive measures such as cleaning, tightening, adjustment, and lubrication, aiming to extend the service life of components and improve vehicle performance. For example, daily maintenance includes cleaning the vehicle body, tightening screws, adjusting mechanical components, and lubricating key parts.
Repair, on the other hand, refers to the repair of damage or faults that have already occurred in the rail vehicle, usually after a vehicle malfunction. Repair may involve replacing severely worn components, repairing damaged mechanical structures or electrical systems, etc.
Specific content of rail vehicle maintenance and repair
The maintenance and repair content of rail vehicles includes:
Daily maintenance: Includes cleaning, tightening, adjustment, and lubrication, ensuring that the vehicle is in good working order before and after each trip.
Regular maintenance: Comprehensive inspection, adjustment, tightening, lubrication, and troubleshooting are carried out at specified intervals.
Minor repair, item repair, and overhaul: Minor repair is the maintenance repair and replacement of some parts; item repair is the repair and replacement of certain assemblies; overhaul is the thorough repair and replacement of all assemblies.
Importance of rail vehicle maintenance and repair
Maintenance and repair are crucial for the normal operation and extended service life of rail vehicles. Through regular maintenance, potential problems can be identified and solved in a timely manner, preventing failures and ensuring that the vehicle is always in good condition. Repair, on the other hand, restores the vehicle to its normal working capacity when a malfunction occurs. A reasonable maintenance and repair plan can significantly reduce operating costs and improve vehicle safety and reliability.
