Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of railway design and manufacture, and in particular relates to a small device suitable for cleaning ballast under railway main lines and turnout sleepers. Background Art

[0002] The ballast bed is a ballast (stone ballast) cushion layer laid on the roadbed. Its main function is to support the sleepers, maintain the position of the sleepers, prevent the sleepers from moving longitudinally or laterally, evenly transfer the pressure on the sleepers to the roadbed, and remove rainwater from the ground, so that the track has sufficient elasticity and alleviates the impact of locomotives and vehicles on the rails. The soil brought into the ballast bed by wind and water, or the powder of the broken ballast often fills the gaps in the ballast bed, making the ballast bed form an impermeable layer, which is not drained well, and eventually leads to the compaction of the ballast bed, the decrease of elasticity, and the deterioration of the shock absorption effect, thus affecting driving safety. Therefore, railway workers need to regularly replace the ballast under the track.

[0003] At present, there are two main methods for railway cleaning in my country. One is to use large-scale railway cleaning machines in cooperation with railway workers to carry out cleaning operations, and the other is manual cleaning. Although large-scale railway cleaning machines have high ballast cleaning efficiency and strong mobility, they are expensive and have a low penetration rate. At present, many railway sections in my country (especially turnout sections) are still mainly cleaned by manual labor. Due to the limited space for ballast cleaning operations, the current difficulty of manual ballast cleaning operations is that it is difficult to clean the ballast under the sleepers using existing equipment (shovels, hoes), especially in the northwest region. Due to the serious compaction of ballast under the railway sleepers, ballast cleaning operations are labor-intensive and consume a lot of manpower.

[0004] Some patents and products have been publicly released in this field at home and abroad, but they all have certain limitations when used for railway ballast cleaning operations. A full-section excavation cleaning machine disclosed in China Patent Publication No. CN201785685U can clean the ballast under the main line and turnout sleepers, but it is necessary to widen the bottom beam when cleaning the ballast under the turnout, and the ballast under the composite turnout sleeper cannot be cleaned. It is a large-scale cleaning machine and is expensive. A railway ballast cleaning machine disclosed in China Patent Publication No. CN108930204A does not need to widen the bottom beam when cleaning the ballast under the turnout, but it cannot clean the ballast under the composite turnout sleeper. It is a large-scale cleaning machine, expensive, requires regular maintenance, and is inconvenient for manual operation. At present, domestic ballast cleaning machines all perform ballast cleaning operations from under the sleepers and then screen and backfill. The disadvantage is that the machine model is expensive, cannot clean composite turnouts, is not versatile, and is not convenient for workers to operate. Summary of the invention

First, the railway workers use shovels to clean the ballast between the sleepers and under the sleepers on both sides of the rails. Since this part of the ballast is subjected to less pressure from the railway, it is rarely compacted, and the space is not restricted, which is convenient for cleaning. Then, according to the distance to be cleaned, a number of the small ballast cleaning equipment are placed on the rails to perform ballast cleaning operations.

[0042] The rake claw 585 includes rake teeth and a rake plate, wherein the rake teeth are used for cutting and the rake plate is used for transporting ballast.

[0043] The blade plate 57 includes an upper blade plate and a lower blade plate, and the upper blade plate and the lower blade plate are connected into a whole by long bolts.

[0044] Furthermore, there are disks on the driving sprocket 581 and the driven sprocket 582, which can also prevent the chain from coming off.

[0045] When the worker presses the forward switch of the three-phase asynchronous motor 35, the three-phase asynchronous motor 35 is connected to the input shaft of the worm gear screw lift 37 through the coupling 36. The worm gear screw lift 37 has the function of changing the transmission direction and reducing the speed. It is a prior art and can be purchased and obtained, so it is not described here. The ballast removal device 5 is installed on the rotating support seat 32. The worm gear screw lift 37 rotates so that the ballast removal device 5 can move downward to the specified position for ballast removal.

In summary, when the second worker rotates the bogie 41, the ballast cleaning mechanism 58 will rotate accordingly.

[0047] The second worker slowly rotates the bogie 41, and the rake claws 585 in the ballast removal mechanism 58 come into contact with the ballast, and the rake teeth begin to cut the ballast under the sleepers 7, and the ballast is transported to the cleaned area between the two sleepers 7 through the action of the rake plate. When the bogie 41 rotates to a certain angle, the second worker locks and fixes the bogie through the locking mechanism 43, so that the ballast removal mechanism 58 can operate at a suitable angle.

The first worker presses the reverse switch of the three-phase asynchronous motor 35, and the lifting device 3 lifts the ballast cleaning device 5 and the steering device 4 on the rotating support seat 32 upward to a certain height. The first worker continues to push the handrail on the frame 11 to make the small ballast cleaning equipment move forward along the rail 6, and cooperates with the second worker to clean the ballast under the next two sleepers 7 until the specified ballast cleaning operation is completed.
