Turning device of railway traction engine

The utility model discloses a turning device of a railway traction engine, which comprises a supporting device, a driving device, a rotating mechanism and a control system. The turning device is applicable in u-turn and swerving of various mine railway traction engines and can simplify the marshaling yard of the vehicles, improve the marshalling efficiency and use efficiency of the vehicles and reduces the production cost of coal and minerals. The turning device not only reduces the turning radii of the engine but also reduces the turning room and the turning time, and can save big additional room required for u-turn of the engine no matter on the ground or in a mine well. The principle of the turning device is also applicable to the running of vehicles on plane crossed rails and the u-turn and swerving of other railway traction engines like train locomotives. The turning device requires small power and is flexible to turn and is widely applicable for u-turn and swerving of railway traction engines. The turning device is simple in structure, small in volume, low in cost and convenient to install and maintain and is widely applicable.
