Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of train transportation supporting facilities, and more specifically relates to an automatic cleaning device for the upper edge of a train box car side and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The main method of transporting raw materials into the furnaces of steel enterprises is by train. After the raw materials are transported into the factory by train, the heavy wagons are first unloaded by a car tipping machine. After unloading, a lot of raw materials, i.e. attached materials, will accumulate on the upper edge of the side of the empty wagon. If they are not cleaned up in time, not only will losses be incurred on the manufacturing costs of the enterprise, but the attached materials will easily splash when the empty wagons return to the loading point, causing certain pollution to the environment along the line.

[0003] At present, most companies use manual cleaning to deal with materials attached to the upper edge of train car sides. The disadvantages of this cleaning method are high labor intensity, low operating efficiency, and great safety hazards in manual cleaning. At the same time, since cleaning personnel need to spend a lot of time cleaning, the time for empty car bodies to be discharged increases, which in turn causes car pressure and affects the efficiency of subsequent train entry. In addition, some companies use auxiliary cleaning devices on the upper edge of the car sides instead of manual cleaning. The auxiliary cleaning devices need to be driven by hydraulic, electric and other equipment, which not only increases energy consumption, but also has a high equipment failure rate due to the long-term operation of the driving equipment, making it difficult to achieve the purpose of continuous cleaning. Some companies even use blowers or compressed air blowing devices to clean the upper edge of the car sides. Such devices are difficult to collect all the materials attached to the upper edge of the car sides after cleaning, and will bring dust to cause secondary pollution to the environment.
