Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of cleaning agents, and particularly relates to a composite cleaning agent for cleaning the wheel shaft of a motor train unit. BACKGROUND
[0002] With more and more high-speed train motor train units put into operation, the cleaning and maintenance tasks of vehicle components are increasing year by year, and the importance is also increasingly prominent. The wheel shaft is a key core component of the motor train unit. During the operation and service of the wheel shaft, the surface will be contaminated with dirt. According to the existing state, the dirt on the surface of the wheel shaft can be divided into two types: solid dirt, such as sand, dust, metal chips, abrasives, metal corrosion products, and inorganic salt precipitates, etc.; liquid dirt, such as grinding fluid, cutting fluid, drawing fluid, hydraulic oil, guide rail oil, grease, polishing paste, acidic and alkaline residues, etc. If the dirt on the surface of the wheel shaft is not cleaned in time, it will cause or accelerate the corrosion or corrosion of the wheel shaft, increase the friction and wear, produce surface defects, shorten the service life, and even affect the driving safety in severe cases. As the main consumable in the wheel shaft cleaning process, the cleaning agent directly determines the cleaning effect of the wheel shaft. However, there is currently no cleaning agent specifically for the wheel shaft of the motor train unit. In addition, under high temperature and high speed with air friction, stubborn stains will form on the surface of the wheel shaft, which is difficult to clean with general cleaning agents. However, the common strong cleaning agents on the market are mostly highly corrosive and not suitable for the wheel shaft of the motor train unit.
[0003] Carbon quantum dots are a new type of nanomaterial with an exciton Bohr radius, which have the advantages of non-toxicity, good biocompatibility, low price, chemical stability, and similar fluorescence characteristics, and have been widely applied in the fields of optoelectronic devices, photocatalysts sensors, and biological images.
[0004] In recent years, the application of carbon quantum dots in cleaning, scale removal, and scale inhibition has also attracted attention. Li Hui synthesized L-CCQDs and Ly-CCQDs carbon quantum dot scale inhibitors by one-pot hot melt polycondensation method using citric acid and L-ascorbic acid as raw materials, respectively (Li Hui. Preparation and performance of carboxyl carbon quantum dot scale inhibitor [D]. Northeast Petroleum University. June 6, 2023).

The cleaning agent contains 0.2-0.8% carbon quantum dots, which are prepared by microwave method using ethylenediamine and citric acid as raw materials. SUMMARY
