Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of track rust removal and grinding technology, and in particular to an automated track rust removal and grinding device. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, rail public transportation such as subways, light rail, and high-speed rail has seen tremendous growth. This has led to increasingly heavy track maintenance work. During use, tracks are directly exposed to the air and subjected to wind and rain for a long time, causing rust to appear on the track surface. If the rust is not treated, it will seriously affect the service life of the tracks, accelerate track aging, and the rusted rails will affect the smooth operation of vehicles, thus accelerating track damage.

[0003] Most existing rail rust removal devices only grind the top of the rail, without grinding the sides. The wheel flange comes into contact with the side of the rail, especially when turning, the pressure between the flange and the side of the rail increases. Therefore, if the sides are not derusted, the wheels will be severely worn, reducing their service life. At the same time, most existing grinding methods involve manual hand-held grinders directly contacting the rail, causing dust particles on the rail to come into direct contact with the grinder, which in turn affects the lifespan of the grinder.

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Reference Figures 1-8 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an automated rust removal and grinding device for rails. The device can move along the rails by a motor 101c-1 while grinding the rails with a grinding wheel 102. Furthermore, the traction mechanism 205 can dynamically blow dust and apply rust remover to the rails within a range of near and far during rotation, ensuring the integrity of the rust removal and grinding work and further guaranteeing the grinding effect of the rails.

[0042] Specifically, an automated track-type rust removal and grinding device includes a grinding unit 100, including a horizontal moving mechanism 101, and grinding wheels 102 disposed at both ends of the horizontal moving mechanism 101.

[0043] The oil blowing unit 200 includes a blowing mechanism 201, an oil tank 202 disposed between the blowing mechanism 201 and the grinding unit 100, an oiling box 203 disposed directly below the oil tank 202, a pipe 204 connecting the oil tank 202 and the oiling box 203, and a traction mechanism 205 connected to the blowing mechanism 201. The oil tank 202 is filled with rust remover, and the amount of rust remover dispensed at one time can fill the oiling box 203. The oiling box 203 has filter paper on the contact surface with the track, which allows the rust remover flowing out of the oil tank 202 to be evenly coated on the track through the filter paper. The traction mechanism 205 is located at the front end of the entire device along the forward direction.

[0044] The bottom of the oil tank 202 is provided with an oil outlet, and a baffle 202b is provided covering the oil outlet and fixedly connected to the traction mechanism 205. The side wall of the oil tank 202 is provided with an opening 205a-1, and the baffle 202b can move within the opening 205a-1. The baffle 202b, the opening 205a-1, and the oil outlet are all provided with sealing rings.

[0045] It should be noted that the rotation of the traction mechanism 205 causes the baffle 202b to move at the oil outlet, allowing the rust remover in the oil tank 202 to enter the oiling box 203 through the pipe 204. The rust remover is then evenly applied to the track through the filter paper, facilitating subsequent grinding by the grinding wheel 102. At the same time, the rotation of the traction mechanism 205 causes the air blowing mechanism 201 to rise and fall, which can effectively blow away dust from the track.

[0046] In use, the horizontal moving mechanism 101 drives the entire device to move, which in turn drives the grinding wheel 102 to grind while simultaneously rotating the traction mechanism 205. The rotation of the traction mechanism 205 drives the lifting and lowering of the air blowing mechanism 201 and the movement of the baffle 202b, enabling the air blowing mechanism 201 to dynamically adjust the distance of the track for blowing air, and to allow the rust remover to flow out or seal the oil outlet of the oil tank 202.

[0047] In summary, this invention has the function of moving the entire device along the track via motor 101c-1 while simultaneously removing rust and polishing the track via the grinding wheel 102. The traction mechanism 205, during rotation, drives the air blowing mechanism 201 to perform an arc-shaped lifting and lowering motion, enabling dynamic dust removal from the track within a short to long distance range. Simultaneously, the stretching action of the traction mechanism 205 during rotation causes the baffle 202b to move or reset, allowing the rust remover in the oil tank 202 to be applied to the track surface. This invention ensures the integrity of the entire device's rust removal and polishing work, further guaranteeing the effectiveness of the track polishing.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Reference Figures 1-8 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an automated track rust removal and grinding device, which can drive the entire device to move along the track by a motor 101c-1, while simultaneously grinding the track on multiple sides using a first grinding wheel 102a, a second grinding wheel 102b, and a side wall grinding wheel 105. Furthermore, the traction mechanism 205, during rotation, achieves dynamic dust blowing and uniform application of rust remover within a range of near and far on the track, ensuring the integrity of the track grinding work and further guaranteeing the grinding effect.

[0050] Specifically, an automated track-type rust removal and grinding device includes a grinding unit 100, including a horizontal moving mechanism 101, and grinding wheels 102 disposed at both ends of the horizontal moving mechanism 101.

[0051] The oil blowing unit 200 includes a blowing mechanism 201, an oil tank 202 disposed between the blowing mechanism 201 and the grinding unit 100, an oiling box 203 disposed directly below the oil tank 202, a pipe 204 connecting the oil tank 202 and the oiling box 203, and a traction mechanism 205 connected to the blowing mechanism 201. The oil tank 202 is filled with rust remover, and the amount of rust remover dispensed at one time can fill the oiling box 203. The oiling box 203 has filter paper on the contact surface with the track, which allows the rust remover flowing from the oil tank 202 to be evenly applied to the track through the filter paper. The traction mechanism 205 is located at the front end of the entire device along the forward direction.

[0052] The bottom of the oil tank 202 is provided with an oil outlet, and a baffle 202b is provided covering the oil outlet and fixedly connected to the traction mechanism 205. The side wall of the oil tank 202 is provided with an opening 205a-1, and the baffle 202b can move within the opening 205a-1. The baffle 202b, the opening 205a-1, and the oil outlet are all provided with sealing rings.

[0053] Preferably, the rotation of the traction mechanism 205 causes the baffle 202b to move at the oil outlet, allowing the rust remover in the oil tank 202 to enter the oiling box 203 through the pipe 204. The rust remover is then evenly applied to the track through the filter paper, facilitating subsequent grinding by the grinding wheel 102. At the same time, the rotation of the traction mechanism 205 causes the air blowing mechanism 201 to rise and fall, which can effectively blow away dust from the track.

[0054] Furthermore, the horizontal moving mechanism 101 includes a symmetrically arranged base 101a, a protective cover 101b disposed on the upper surface of the base 101a, and a drive assembly 101c fixedly disposed inside the lower part of the protective cover 101b, wherein the base 101a has a concave structure.

[0055] Furthermore, the drive assembly 101c includes a motor 101c-1 fixedly connected to the protective cover 101b, a main drive wheel 101c-2 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 101c-1, a driven wheel 101c-3 meshing with the main drive wheel 101c-2, a main moving roller 101c-4 fixedly passing through the driven wheel 101c-3, a main pulley 101c-5 disposed on the surface of the main moving roller 101c-4 located on both sides of the driven wheel 101c-3, a main belt 101c-6 disposed on the outer surface of the main pulley 101c-5, and a secondary moving roller 101c-7 rotatably connected through the main belt 101c-6, wherein the motor 101c-1 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 101b through a fixed placement plate;

[0056] The main moving roller 101c-4 and the auxiliary moving roller 101c-7 are located on the same horizontal plane, and the main drive wheel 101c-2 and the driven wheel 101c-3 are located on the same vertical plane and are staggered. The main drive wheel 101c-2 and the driven wheel 101c-3 are located on the same vertical plane but are not on the same horizontal plane.

[0057] It should be noted that the drive assembly 101c is driven by the rotation of the motor 101c-1, which drives the main drive wheel 101c-2 to rotate. The rotation of the main drive wheel 101c-2 drives the driven wheel 101c-3, which is meshed with it, to rotate. The rotation of the driven wheel 101c-3 drives the main moving roller 101c-4 to rotate. The main moving roller 101c-4 drives the auxiliary moving roller 101c-7 to rotate through the main belt 101c-6, so that the drive assembly 101c can move along the track.

[0058] Furthermore, the grinding wheel 102 includes a first grinding wheel 102a and a second grinding wheel 102b disposed inside the base 101a, wherein the first grinding wheel 102a and the second grinding wheel 102b are located on the same horizontal plane;

[0059] The first grinding wheel 102a is located between the second grinding wheel 102b and the traction mechanism 205, wherein the first grinding wheel 102a is located in front of the second grinding wheel 102b along the entire forward direction of the device;

[0060] The first grinding wheel 102a is provided with a first bearing 102a-1 at both ends, and the second grinding wheel 102b is provided with a second bearing 102b-1. The first grinding wheel 102a is connected to the main moving roller through one of the first bearings 102a-1, and the second grinding wheel 102b is connected to the main moving roller through one of the second bearings 102b-1. Both the first grinding wheel 102a and the second grinding wheel 102b are connected to the base 101a through bearings. The first grinding wheel 102a and the second grinding wheel 102b are rotatably connected to the base 101a through the first bearing 102a-1 and the second bearing 102b-1, respectively.

[0061] Furthermore, both ends of the main moving roller 101c-4 are rotatably connected to the first grinding wheel 102a, and both ends of the auxiliary moving roller 101c-7 are rotatably connected to the second grinding wheel 102b.

[0062] It should be noted that the first grinding wheel 102a and the second grinding wheel 102b can rotate synchronously through the rotation of the main moving roller 101c-4 and the auxiliary moving roller 101c-7, respectively.

[0063] Furthermore, the polishing unit 100 also includes connecting rods 103 disposed on both sides of the base 101a and respectively opposite to the two first bearings 102a-1, a first belt 104 correspondingly connected to the first bearings 102a-1 and the connecting rods 103, and side wall polishing wheels 105 respectively sleeved on the connecting rods 103 located on both sides of the base 101a, wherein the first belt 104 drives the side wall polishing wheels 105 to rotate through the pulley.

[0064] It should be noted that the drive motor 101c-1 drives the main drive wheel 101c-2 to rotate, the main drive wheel 101c-2 drives the driven wheel 101c-3 to rotate, which in turn drives the main moving roller 101c-4 to rotate. The main moving roller 101c-4 further drives the first grinding wheel 102a to rotate, and the main drive roller drives the auxiliary moving roller 101c-7 to rotate through the main pulley 101c-5 and the main belt 101c-6. The auxiliary moving roller 101c-7 then drives the second grinding wheel 102b to rotate. As the first grinding wheel 102a and the second grinding wheel 102b rotate and move, they remove rust and grind the upper surface of the track. The side wall grinding wheel 105, driven by the main moving roller 101c-4 and rotated through the first belt 104, grinds the two side walls of the track simultaneously. With the cooperation of the first grinding wheel 102a and the second grinding wheel 102b, the rust on the track surface can be ground clean in one go.

[0065] Furthermore, the traction mechanism 205 includes a fixed plate 205a fixedly connected to the base 101a, two fixed columns 205g and a fixed block 205b fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 205a, a rotating plate 205c rotatably connected to the top of the fixed column 205g, a first pull block 205d disposed on the side wall of the rotating plate 205c, a second pull block 205e disposed on the side wall of the fixed block 205b, and a tensioning assembly 205f connected to the first pull block 205d and the second pull block 205e, wherein the pipe 204 passes through the fixed plate 205a and its two ends are respectively connected to the oil tank 202 and the oiling box 203;

[0066] The tensioning assembly 205f rotates via the second belt 207;

[0067] The oil tank 202 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 205a, and the rotating plate 205c is fixedly connected to the baffle 202b.

[0068] It should be noted that the second belt 207 drives the traction mechanism 205 to rotate. During the rotation of the traction mechanism 205, the rotating plate 205c can be opened or reset through the first pull block 205d and the second pull block 205e.

[0069] Furthermore, the tensioning assembly 205f includes a fixing frame 205f-1 fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 205a, a first rotating shaft 205f-2 passing through the fixing frame 205f-1, a first handle 205f-3 connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 205f-2, a second rotating shaft 205f-4 disposed at the lower part of the first handle 205f-3, a first tensioning rod 205f-5 connected at one end to the second rotating shaft 205f-4, and second tensioning rods 205f connected to the lower ends of the first tensioning rod 205f-5 respectively. -6 and the third tension rod 205f-7, and the turntable 205f-8 connected to the other end of the first rotating shaft 205f-2, wherein the turntable 205f-8 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 205f-2, the first rotating shaft 205f-2 is fixedly connected to the first handle 205f-3, the second rotating shaft 205f-4 is fixedly connected to the first tension rod 205f-5 and the first handle 205f-3, and the first tension rod 205f-5 is rotatably connected to the second tension rod 205f-6 and the third tension rod 205f-7;

[0070] The second tension rod 205f-6 is connected to the first pull block 205d, the third tension rod 205f-7 is connected to the second pull block 205e, and the turntable 205f-8 rotates via the second belt 207. The second tension rod 205f-6 is rotatably connected to the first pull block 205d, and the third tension rod 205f-7 is rotatably connected to the second pull block 205e.

[0071] It should be noted that the second belt 207 drives the turntable 205f-8 to rotate, the turntable 205f-8 drives the first rotating shaft 205f-2 to rotate, the first rotating shaft 205f-2 drives the first handle 205f-3 to perform a circular motion with the first rotating shaft 205f-2 as the center, the circular rotation of the first handle 205f-3 synchronously drives the second rotating shaft 205f-4 to perform a circular motion, the circular motion of the second rotating shaft 205f-4 drives the first tension rod 205f-5 to also perform a circular motion, the rotation of the first tension rod 205f-5 drives the second tension rod 205f-6 and the third tension rod 205f-7 to perform a stretching motion, that is, during the stretching process of the second tension rod 205f-6, the rotating plate 205c can be driven to open or reset.

[0072] Furthermore, the blowing mechanism 201 includes a blowing machine 201a and a blowing pipe 201b connected to the blowing machine 201a;

[0073] The air blowing pipe 201b moves inside the opening 205a-1 provided on the fixed plate 205a.

[0074] It should be noted that when the first tension rod 205f-5 moves in a circular motion, it drives the air blower 201a and the air blowing pipe 201b, which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, to move up and down. This allows the dust to be dynamically blown out within a certain distance range, providing good conditions for the subsequent application of rust remover and polishing work, and further ensuring the effect of rust removal and polishing.

[0075] Furthermore, the oil blowing unit 200 also includes an oil scraper box 206 fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the oil tank 202;

[0076] The oil scraper box 206 has a channel and is curved, and the baffle 202b moves within the channel.

[0077] It should be noted that the oil scraper box 206 is curved to allow the rotating plate 205c to move non-linearly when pulled by the traction mechanism 205. At the same time, it is also to ensure that the rust remover on the baffle 202b can be scraped off by the oil scraper box 206 during the movement and flow back into the oil tank 202, thereby reducing the waste of resources.

[0078] When in use, the device moves along the track by starting the motor 101c-1, while simultaneously blowing air, applying rust remover, and polishing the track.

[0079] The first function achieved by this invention is to perform multi-faceted polishing on the track.

[0080] When motor 101c-1 drives the main drive wheel 101c-2 to rotate, the main drive wheel 101c-2 drives the secondary drive wheel 101c-3 to rotate, which in turn drives the main moving roller 101c-4 to rotate. The main moving roller 101c-4 further drives the first grinding wheel 102a to rotate, and the main drive roller drives the auxiliary moving roller 101c-7 to rotate through the main pulley 101c-5 and the main belt 101c-6. The auxiliary moving roller 101c-7 then drives the second grinding wheel 102b to rotate. As the first grinding wheel 102a and the second grinding wheel 102b rotate and move, the upper surface of the track is derusted and ground. The side wall grinding wheel 105, driven by the main moving roller 101c-4 and rotated through the first belt 104, grinds the two side walls of the track simultaneously. With the cooperation of the first grinding wheel 102a and the second grinding wheel 102b, the rust on the track surface can be ground clean in one go.

[0081] The second function achieved by this invention is to enable air blowing and rust removal agent application to the track during the rotation of the traction mechanism 205, thereby further ensuring the effectiveness of the device in removing rust and polishing the track.

[0082] To achieve dust removal from the track, when the main moving roller 101c-4 rotates, the second belt 207 simultaneously drives the turntable 205f-8 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 205f-8 drives the first rotating shaft 205f-2 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 205f-2 drives the first handle 205f-3 to perform a circular motion around the first rotating shaft 205f-2. The circular rotation of the first handle 205f-3 synchronously drives the second rotating shaft 205f-4 to perform a circular motion. The circular motion of the second rotating shaft 205f-4 drives the first tension rod 205f-5 to also perform a circular motion. When the first tension rod 205f-5 is in circular motion, it drives the air blower 201a and the air blowing pipe 201b, which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, to perform a lifting and lowering motion. This allows dust to be dynamically blown out within a certain distance range, providing better conditions for subsequent rust removal and polishing work, and further ensuring the effectiveness of rust removal and polishing.

[0083] To apply rust remover to the track, the first tension rod 205f-5 rotates, causing the second tension rod 205f-6 and the third tension rod 205f-7 to stretch. During the stretching process, the second tension rod 205f-6 can open or reset the rotating plate 205c, further causing the baffle 202b, which is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 205c, to move within the oil scraper box 206 and the opening 205a-1. This allows the rust remover in the oil tank 202 to enter the oiling box 203 through the pipe 204. The filter paper is evenly coated on the track, and at the same time, the dust blown by the air blowing mechanism 201 is carried away during the movement, reducing the contact between dust particles and the grinding wheel 102, which makes it easier for the grinding wheel 102 to grind the track. In addition, the oil scraper box 206 is curved, which can ensure that the baffle 202b can ensure the normal flow of rust remover from the oil tank 202 under the traction of the traction mechanism 205, and also ensure that the rust remover scraped off the baffle 202b by the oil scraper box 206 can return to the inside of the oil tank 202 under the action of gravity, thus saving resources.

[0084] In summary, this invention uses a motor 101c-1 to drive the entire device to move along the track while simultaneously using a first grinding wheel 102a, a second grinding wheel 102b, and a side wall grinding wheel 105 to perform multi-faceted rust removal and grinding on the track. A second belt 207 drives a traction mechanism 205 to rotate, causing the first tension rod 205f-5 to move in a circular motion. This, in turn, causes the air blower 201a and air pipe 201b, which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the first tension rod 205f-5, to move in an arc-shaped lifting motion, achieving dynamic dust removal on the track within a range of near and far. Simultaneously, the tensioning action of the second tension rod 205f-6 and the third tension rod 205f-7 allows the rust remover in the oil tank 202 to be applied to the track surface. This invention ensures the integrity of the entire device's rust removal and grinding work on the track, further guaranteeing the grinding effect.
