Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a snow melting device for a testing equipment, specifically a snow melting device for a trackside testing equipment in the railway transportation industry. Background Technology

[0002] During winter snowfall, snow accumulation is common along railway lines. Trackside inspection equipment may experience icing of moving parts, rendering it inoperable. This can affect equipment functionality, prevent data collection, and even compromise train operation safety.

[0003] Currently, snow removal and de-icing work along railway lines traditionally relies on manual clearing, which has problems such as low efficiency: it requires personnel to be stationed to manually sweep snow, the effect is difficult to maintain, and there are personal safety risks to those working on the track. In addition, electric heating devices are slow to heat up and cannot accurately target and heat local snowfall, which may lead to icing or snow residue.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent snow melting device for trackside inspection equipment to improve snow removal efficiency and avoid difficulties such as uneven heating and difficulty in melting local snow accumulation, so as to ensure the normal operation of trackside inspection equipment and safe train operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings and defects of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a snow melting device for trackside inspection equipment, so as to achieve a stable and reliable snow melting function and ensure the normal operation of trackside inspection equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above or other objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A snow melting device for a railside inspection equipment includes an outer frame support, a hot air blower housing and a protective cover fixedly mounted on the outer frame support; the outer frame support is located on the outside of the rail and flexibly connected to the rail; the hot air blower housing contains a controller, a temperature sensor and multiple independent hot air blowers, the controller is connected to the temperature sensor and multiple hot air blowers respectively; the hot air blowers are connected to the air distribution pipes through transition air pipes, and the air distribution pipes are connected to heating pipes uniformly and fixed on the railside inspection equipment through air pipes.

[0007] Furthermore, the two front support legs of the outer box bracket are fixed to the rails using rail hooks and nuts, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer casing support is provided with multiple height-adjustable feet.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer casing bracket is connected to the outer casing of the hot air blower by bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer casing of the hot air blower is also provided with a hot air blower mounting plate, and the hot air blowers are arranged at equal intervals on the hot air blower mounting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the hot air blower mounting plate is fixed to the bottom of the hot air blower outer casing with bolts, and the hot air blower is fixed to the hot air mounting plate with bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer casing of the hot air blower is provided with a dustproof net on the side; the top surface of the outer casing of the hot air blower is provided with a hot air blower outer casing cover.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple heating tubes are provided, including long heating tubes and short heating tubes, which are evenly fixed to the outer cover of the railside detection equipment by bolts.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the hot air blowers is connected to one of the air distribution pipes via a transition air pipe and is locked with a clamp; each of the air distribution pipes is connected to the heating pipe via a flexible air pipe and is locked with a clamp or thread. Furthermore, the transition tube is made of high-pressure rubber tubing; the flexible tube is made of stainless steel corrugated tubing or high-pressure rubber tubing.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the snow melting device of this utility model trackside inspection equipment has the following advantages: (1) The snow melting device of the railside inspection equipment of this utility model has four hot air blowers as independent units. They transmit heat to the preset position of the railside inspection equipment through air pipes via air distribution outlets, ensuring that the entire railside inspection equipment receives heat evenly and that there will be no local snow that cannot be melted.

[0016] (2) The snow melting device of the trackside detection equipment of this utility model is equipped with a controller. The controller is connected to a temperature sensor and a hot air blower respectively. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature is lower than the set value, the hot air blower is started to work. This ensures that the trackside detection equipment can operate normally even without monitoring, and also avoids the personal safety risks of manual snow removal on the track.

[0017] (3) The snow melting device of the railside inspection equipment of this utility model is easy to install. It only requires fixing the front end of the hot air blower outer box bracket to the rail with the rail hook, and installing the foot cup at the bottom end of the hot air blower outer box bracket to adjust it to level.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the snow melting device of the trackside detection equipment in this embodiment includes a temperature sensor, an outer protective cover 1, a hot air blower outer cover plate 2, multiple hot air blowers 3, a hot air blower mounting plate 4, a hot air blower outer casing 5, a hot air blower outer casing bracket 6, a controller 7, a foot cup 8, a dustproof net 9, a transition air pipe 10, an air distribution outlet 11, a short heating pipe 12, a rail hook 13, and a long heating pipe 14. The controller 7 is connected to the temperature sensor and the multiple hot air blowers 3 respectively.

[0022] The outer casing support 6 of the hot air blower is set on the outside of the track and is fixedly connected to the rail.

[0023] Preferably, the two front support legs of the hot air blower outer casing bracket 6 are fixed to the rail using rail hooks 13 and nuts, thereby locking the hot air blower outer casing bracket 6 to the rail (e.g., Figure 3 As shown, a hole is provided at the front end of the support leg, and the rail hook 13 passes through the bottom of the rail. One end of the rail hook 13 hooks the rail, and the other end of the rail hook 13 is fixed to the hole by a nut.

[0024] Preferably, the bottom of the hot air blower outer casing support 6 is provided with multiple foot cups 8, which can be adjusted up and down to ensure that the entire hot air blower outer casing support 6 is stable after placement.

[0025] The outer casing 5 of the hot air blower is fixed to the upper surface of the outer casing bracket 6. Preferably, the upper surface of the outer casing bracket 6 is provided with mounting holes, and the outer casing bracket 6 and the outer casing 5 of the hot air blower are connected by bolts.

[0026] The outer casing 5 of the hot air blower has a mounting surface (bottom mounting surface) on its inner bottom surface. The hot air blower mounting plate 4, controller 7, and temperature sensor are fixed to this bottom mounting surface. Preferably, the bottom mounting surface has mounting holes, and the hot air blower mounting plate 4 is bolted to these holes. The controller 7 and temperature sensor are mounted on a U-shaped guide rail on the bottom mounting surface.

[0027] The hot air blower mounting plate 4 has multiple hot air blower 3 mounting holes, which are arranged at equal intervals. Similarly, the hot air blowers 3 are arranged at equal intervals and connected to the hot air blower mounting plate 4 (this embodiment provides 4 hot air blowers 3, but it is not limited to 4; the number of hot air blowers 3 can be adjusted according to the requirements of the railside inspection equipment). Preferably, the hot air blower mounting plate 4 and the hot air blowers 3 are locked together with bolts.

[0028] The outer casing 5 of the hot air blower has mounting holes for a dustproof mesh 9 on its side, which are evenly spaced. The dustproof mesh 9 is fixed to the side of the outer casing 5 of the hot air blower. Preferably, the dustproof mesh 9 is connected to the outer casing 5 of the hot air blower with bolts.

[0029] The outer cover plate 2 of the hot air blower is fixed to the upper end of the outer casing 5 of the hot air blower. Preferably, the upper surface of the outer casing 5 of the hot air blower is bolted to the outer cover plate 2 of the hot air blower.

[0030] Finally, the hot air blower outer casing 5, hot air blower outer casing cover 2, hot air blower mounting plate 4, hot air blower 3, controller 7, temperature sensor, and dustproof net 9 are connected as a whole and fixed on the hot air blower mounting bracket 6 (the outer casing protective cover 1 is fixed on the hot air blower mounting bracket 6 with bolts), and fixed on the rail with rail hook 13. At the same time, it is stably placed on the ground with foot cup 8, forming a static snow melting heat production device.

[0031] The hot air outlet of the hot air blower's outer casing 5 faces the steel rail. Multiple hot air blowers 3 operate independently and are connected to the air distribution manifold 11 via transition air pipes 10 (each transition air pipe 10 corresponds to one air distribution manifold 11 and one hot air blower 3; that is, the hot air blower 3, transition air pipe 10, and air distribution manifold 11 are in a one-to-one correspondence), and are secured with clamps. Preferably, the transition air pipe 10 is made of high-pressure rubber. The air distribution manifold 11 is fixed to the hot air blower's outer casing support 6.

[0032] The air distribution outlet 11 is connected to the short heating pipe 12 and the long heating pipe 14 by a flexible air pipe and locked with clamps or threads (the short heating pipe 12 and the long heating pipe 14 are respectively fixed to the outer cover of the railside inspection equipment by bolts). When the hot air blower 3 is working, it transfers heat to the railside inspection equipment to achieve the purpose of snow melting in heavy snow and ensure the normal operation of the railside inspection equipment.

[0033] Preferably, the flexible tubing material is stainless steel corrugated tubing or other materials such as high-pressure rubber tubing.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, there are four hot air blowers 3 inside the hot air blower outer casing 5, and four short heating pipes 12 and long heating pipes 14 on the railside detection equipment. Each hot air blower 3 is responsible for heating one short heating pipe 12 and one long heating pipe 14. In this way, the overall heating of the railside detection equipment is more uniform (the railside detection equipment is relatively long and has multiple heating ports, while the position of the hot air blower outer casing 5 is fixed, so the distance from the hot air blower outer casing 5 to the multiple heating ports is different, hence the short heating pipes 12 and long heating pipes 14 are provided).

[0035] The hot air blower 3 of this utility model controls the working state of the hot air blower 3 through the controller 7 based on the temperature sensor signal, so that there is no snow accumulation or ice formation on the trackside inspection equipment under low temperature and heavy snow weather, ensuring the normal operation of the moving parts of the trackside inspection equipment and not affecting the shooting effect. Furthermore, the use of multiple hot air blowers 3 in parallel solves the problem of local snow accumulation and ice formation caused by the large size and uneven heat of the trackside inspection equipment, thus improving the snow melting effect.

[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed by this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model. Technologies not covered by this utility model can be implemented by existing technologies.
