The invention relates to the technical field of
rail transit, in particular to a high-speed large-air-volume turnout
snow and sand removing device and method.The high-speed large-air-volume turnout
snow and sand removing device comprises an
air compression mechanism used for generating high-speed large-air-volume air, the air conveying end of the
air compression mechanism is communicated with at least one air conveying
pipe, and a
nozzle is installed at the free end
pipe opening of each air conveying
pipe; the free ends of the multiple air conveying pipes are installed at the turnout position of a track, high-speed and high-pressure air flow is sprayed to a gap space formed between a turnout switch rail and a stock rail through the arrangement of the first air conveying pipe, the second air conveying pipe, the first flow dividing
nozzle and the second flow dividing
nozzle, an air curtain is formed, and falling
snow and sand dust in the gap space are prevented and removed. Through the arrangement of a third air conveying pipe, a fourth air conveying pipe, a third nozzle and a fourth nozzle, high-speed and high-pressure air flow is sprayed to the areas of the action rod and the indication rod of the switch
machine, a vortex area is formed, and falling snow and sand dust in the areas of the action rod and the indication rod of the switch
machine are prevented and removed.
