Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tipper technology, and in particular to a side cleaning device for a wagon compartment and a tipper. Background Technology

[0002] A tippler is a large mechanical device used to unload bulk materials from open railcars and other railcars. In a specific unloading area, after the railcar enters the tippler's location, the tippler clamps and fixes the car and drives it to flip or tilt, causing the material inside the car to tilt downwards or diagonally downwards. After unloading, the car is flipped to the right and moved forward out of the unloading area. As the tippler completes the unloading action, there will be residual material on the flipped side of the car, which needs to be cleaned manually or by a cleaning device.

[0003] In the existing technology, after the tipper unloads the material, the car body is usually cleaned manually, or for a fixed model of car body, a fixed cleaning brush made of hard rubber and steel wire is used for cleaning. The existing technology has at least the following disadvantages: manual cleaning is inconvenient, the cleaning brush has poor compatibility with different car body models, and multiple adjustments and replacements are often required during continuous car body tipping operations, which increases the extra workload of car body cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a side cleaning device and tipper for a carriage, which solves the problems of poor convenience of manual cleaning and poor compatibility of cleaning brushes with different carriage models in the prior art, which often require multiple adjustments and replacements during continuous carriage tipping operations, increasing the extra workload of carriage cleaning.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides a side cleaning device for cleaning the sides of a wagon car on a tipper, comprising:

[0006] A rotating arm, comprising a hinged end and a rotating end, wherein the hinged end is used to hinge with a tipper so that the rotating end rotates about the hinged end as the rotation center;

[0007] An elastic cleaning block is connected to the rotating end of the rotating arm. The end of the elastic cleaning block away from the hinge end is the cleaning end, which is used to abut against the side of the carriage to clean the side of the carriage.

[0008] An elastic element, one end of which is connected to the rotating arm and the other end is fixedly disposed.

[0009] Furthermore, on the rotation plane of the rotating arm, the cross-sectional profile of the cleaning end is an open polygon, which is used to match the carriages of different heights during the rotation of the rotating arm.

[0010] Furthermore, the opening polygon includes a first side parallel to the rotating arm, a second side connected to the first side and perpendicular to the first side, and one or more inclined sides, wherein the angle between the inclined side and the second side is an obtuse angle.

[0011] Furthermore, when there is one inclined edge, the inclined edge is connected to the second edge; when there are two or more inclined edges, the inclined edges are extended from the end of the second edge and connected end to end.

[0012] Furthermore, a detachable connector is provided at the overlap between the elastic cleaning block and the rotating end.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple sets of the rotating arms are arranged in parallel.

[0014] Secondly, this application also provides a tipper, which is provided with a hinge point, and the hinge point is hinged to the side cleaning device of the carriage as described above.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the elastic element is fixedly disposed on the tipper.

[0016] Furthermore, the surface swept by the rotating arm during rotation is parallel to the forward direction of the carriage on the tipper.

[0017] As described above, in the carriage side cleaning device, when cleaning the carriage side, the cleaning end of the elastic cleaning block abuts against the lateral side. When the carriage model changes, causing a change in the height of the carriage side, the elastic cleaning block is pushed upward, the rotating arm rotates, and at the same time, the elastic element pulls the rotating arm from the side, so that the cleaning end of the elastic cleaning block still abuts against the carriage side. It can be seen that this application can automatically clean the carriage side during carriage transport. Moreover, for carriage sides of different heights, the elastic cleaning component can be moved to a suitable cleaning posture through the cooperation of the rotating arm and the elastic element. No additional adjustments to the cleaning device are required during continuous carriage turnover operations, which greatly ensures the compatibility of the carriage side cleaning device with different carriage models. The same set of carriage side cleaning device can effectively meet the differentiated cleaning needs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0025] It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings of this specification are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of the invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," "first," and "second" used in this specification are merely for clarity and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0026] In one embodiment, this application provides a carriage side cleaning device for cleaning the sides of carriages on a tipper. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-3 The side cleaning device for the carriage includes a rotating arm 1, an elastic cleaning block 2, and an elastic element 3. The specific structure of each part is described below:

[0027] The rotating arm 1 includes a hinged end 11 and a rotating end 12. The hinged end 11 is used to hinge with the tipper. For example, in this embodiment, the upper end of the rotating arm 1 is hinged to the tipper body 4 so that the rotating end 12 rotates with the hinged end 11 as the rotation center. The elastic cleaning block 2 is connected to the rotating end 12 of the rotating arm 1. The end of the elastic cleaning block 2 away from the hinged end 11 is the cleaning end 21. The cleaning end 21 is used to abut against the side of the car body to clean the side of the car body. The elastic element 3 has one end connected to the rotating arm 1 and the other end fixedly installed.

[0028] Regarding the above method, it is understood that the elastic element 3 can be set in the rotation direction of the rotating arm 1, and can be located on one or both sides of the rotating arm 1. Depending on its setting position on the rotating arm 1, the elastic element 3 can be compressed or stretched during the rotation of the rotating arm 1. In this embodiment, the elastic element 3 is, for example, a spring.

[0029] When cleaning the side of the carriage, the cleaning end 21 of the elastic cleaning block 2 abuts against the side. When the height of the side of the carriage changes due to the change of carriage model, the elastic cleaning block 2 is pushed upward, the rotating arm 1 rotates, and the elastic element 3 pulls the rotating arm 1 from the side, so that the cleaning end 21 of the elastic cleaning block 2 still abuts against the side of the carriage. It can be seen that this application can automatically clean the side of the carriage during the carriage transfer process. For the side of the carriage at different heights, the elastic cleaning component can be moved to a suitable cleaning posture by the cooperation of the rotating arm 1 and the elastic element 3. No additional adjustment of the cleaning device is required during continuous carriage turnover operation, which greatly ensures the compatibility of the side cleaning device for different carriage models. The same set of side cleaning device can effectively meet the differentiated cleaning needs.

[0030] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 On the rotation plane of the rotating arm 1, the cross-sectional profile of the cleaning end 21 is an open polygon, which is used to match the carriages of different heights during the rotation of the rotating arm 1. It should be understood that the cleaning end 21 is the end of the elastic cleaning block 2 facing the side of the carriage, and is a part of the elastic cleaning block 2. Therefore, the cross-sectional profile of this part on the rotation plane of the rotating arm 1 is also only a part of the cross-sectional profile of the elastic cleaning block 2, that is, an open polygon that is not closed. The cross-sectional profile of the end of the elastic cleaning block 2 connected to the rotating arm 1 can be set differently according to the structure of the rotating arm 1, the selection of the connection structure between the rotating arm 1 and the elastic cleaning component, and the size requirements of the side cleaning device of the carriage.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the opening polygon includes a first side 211 parallel to the rotating arm 1, a second side 212 connected to and perpendicular to the first side 211, and one or more inclined sides 213. The angle between the inclined side 213 and the second side 212 is an obtuse angle. It is worth noting that in different application scenarios, the second side 212 and the inclined side 213 can respectively cooperate with carriages of different heights to clean the sides of the carriage. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 2The first side 211 is the side parallel to the rotating arm 1 and corresponding to the surface extending from the rotating arm 1 to the cleaning end 21. The second side 212 is perpendicular to the first side 211. Therefore, when the rotating arm 1 is vertical, the first side 211 is vertical and the second side 212 is horizontal. At this time, the side cleaning device can cooperate with the first carriage 5 with the lowest carriage height, that is, the surface where the second side 212 is located is in contact with the side of the first carriage 5, and clean it when the first carriage 5 moves. When the carriage is the second carriage 6, its carriage height is higher than the first carriage 5, then the second carriage 6 will lift the elastic cleaning block 2. At this time, the surface where the inclined side 213 is located is in contact with the side of the second carriage 6, or the intersection line of the surface where the second side 212 is located and the surface where the inclined side 213 is located is in contact with the side line of the second carriage 6, so that the second carriage 6 is cleaned when it moves.

[0032] In different implementations, the number of inclined edges 213 can be set according to the number of carriage models. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 The number of inclined edges 213 is one, and the inclined edge 213 is connected to the second edge 212. In another embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 The number of inclined sides 213 is two or more, for example, two inclined sides 213 are drawn from the end of the second side 212 and are connected end to end.

[0033] In this embodiment, a detachable connector 13, such as a bolt, is provided at the overlap of the elastic cleaning block 2 and the rotating end 12 to facilitate maintenance of the side cleaning device of the carriage and to facilitate replacement of the elastic cleaning block 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, multiple sets of rotating arms 1 are arranged in parallel. For example, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 4 The two sets of rotating arms 1 are connected in parallel to the same elastic cleaning block 2, which helps to improve the overall structural stability of the cleaning device during the rotation of the elastic cleaning block 2, and helps to avoid deformation of the rotating arms 1 due to compression, which would affect the cleaning effect.

[0035] In another embodiment, this application also provides a tipper, which is provided with a hinge point, and the hinge point is hinged to the side cleaning device of the carriage in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0036] In the above embodiment, one end of the elastic element 3 is fixedly mounted on the tippler.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the surface swept by the rotating arm 1 when it rotates is parallel to the forward direction of the carriage on the tipper.

[0038] As described above, the tipper provided in this application is hinged with a side cleaning device for the carriage. When cleaning the side of the carriage, the cleaning end 21 of the elastic cleaning block 2 abuts against the side. When the height of the side of the carriage changes due to a change in the carriage model, the elastic cleaning block 2 is lifted upward, the rotating arm 1 rotates, and the elastic element 3 pulls the rotating arm 1 from the side, so that the cleaning end 21 of the elastic cleaning block 2 still abuts against the side of the carriage. It can be seen that this application can automatically clean the side of the carriage during the carriage transfer process. For side of carriages of different heights, the elastic cleaning component can be moved to a suitable cleaning posture through the cooperation of the rotating arm 1 and the elastic element 3. No additional adjustment of the cleaning device is required during continuous carriage tipping operations, which greatly ensures the compatibility of the side cleaning device for different carriage models. The same set of side cleaning device can effectively meet the differentiated cleaning needs.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
