Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of railway maintenance equipment, and more specifically, relates to an emergency rescue device for an excavating bucket wheel. Background Art

[0002] The excavating bucket wheel of a side slope ballast cleaner is the main working device of the whole vehicle, which is used to excavate the ballast of the railway side slope. Due to its large weight and volume, large excavation depth and wide operation range, when a failure occurs and it cannot be lifted, the whole vehicle cannot be transferred on the line, seriously affecting the safety of railway operation.

[0003] The existing technology is to bind and fix the excavating bucket wheel to the rotating direction wheel through a chain, use a hydraulic jack to gradually lift the excavating bucket wheel to restore it, then bind and fix the excavating bucket wheel in the vertical direction, and finally use the hydraulic power of the vehicle itself to retract it horizontally. Since the excavating bucket wheel is a wheel structure, there is a risk of rotational overturning when using the jack to lift and restore it, and it must be reliably fixed in the rotating direction; limited by the stroke of the jack, the excavating bucket wheel needs to be reliably supported every certain distance of lifting and restoration, and then the jack needs to be readjusted to lift and restore it. At the same time, limited by the position of the jack, after the excavating bucket wheel is lifted and restored in place, it must also be vertically bound and fixed before the jack can be removed for horizontal retraction. The process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and all work is completed by manual labor, resulting in high labor intensity and high risk.

[0004] Therefore, it is expected to develop a fast, safe and reliable lifting and restoration device for the excavating bucket wheel to save time, ensure safety and reduce the manual labor intensity. Summary of the Invention
