Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of open wagon cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a cleaning and material handling mechanism for cleaning residual materials in open wagons of trains without opening the doors. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the transportation of bulk materials in China mainly relies on trains, trucks, and ships. Among them, road transport is mostly used for short-distance transportation, ship transport is suitable for specific areas, while train transport is widely used, mainly employing open wagons of models such as C64, C70, and C70H(E).

[0003] After the train delivers the materials to the destination, they are unloaded using unloading equipment. However, some frozen and highly viscous materials tend to remain inside the carriages, making them difficult to remove using the unloading equipment. It is necessary to open the carriage doors and have workers clean the remaining materials inside the carriages. Generally, each carriage requires 2-3 workers, and the cleaning time is about 10-20 minutes. Moreover, the bottom of the carriages is usually uneven, making it extremely difficult to clean. This not only increases labor costs but also poses a threat to the safety and health of the workers. In addition, the train stays for a long time when cleaning open carriages, and the doors need to be resealed after opening, which adds extra costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning and material-collecting mechanism for cleaning residual materials in open train wagons without opening the doors, thereby solving the problem of difficult-to-clean residual materials adhering to the wagons. The technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0005] A cleaning and material handling mechanism for cleaning residual materials in open wagons of trains without opening the doors includes a lifting frame, a bucket lifting mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism. The top of the bucket lifting mechanism is connected to the lifting frame, and the cleaning mechanism is symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the bucket lifting mechanism.

[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning box. A roller and a horizontal brush are arranged parallel to each other at the bottom of the cleaning box. The roller and the horizontal brush are arranged from near to far from the bucket lifting mechanism. The two ends of the horizontal brush are respectively rotatably engaged with the left and right ends of the cleaning box. The roller includes a housing and a rotating shaft rotatably disposed in the housing. Several blades are arranged circumferentially on the rotating shaft. The blades are composed of left and right spiral blades connected together. The left and right spiral blades rotate in opposite directions. The rotation direction of the left and right spiral blades from the end to the middle of the rotating shaft is opposite to the working direction of the rotating shaft. A long feed port is opened axially on the side of the housing facing the horizontal brush. A long discharge port is opened axially on the side of the housing facing the bucket lifting mechanism.

[0007] The cleaning box is equipped with vertical brush frames on the left and right sides. The vertical brush frames are C-shaped, and the upper and lower ends of the vertical brushes are rotatably engaged with the two ends of the vertical brush frames. The corner brushes are rotatably set at the bottom of the vertical brush frames. When cleaning the open wagon, the horizontal brushes roll along the bottom wall of the open wagon, the vertical brushes roll along the corresponding side wall of the open wagon, and the corner brushes roll along the angle between the corresponding side wall and the bottom wall of the open wagon. The horizontal brushes throw the loose residual material into the drum. The drum, through the rotation of the blades, throws the residual material into the bucket elevator mechanism. The discharge port of the bucket elevator mechanism protrudes out of the open wagon.

[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning box is hinged to the bucket lifting mechanism via two parallel connecting lugs, the rear cylinder cover of the adjusting cylinder is hinged to the cleaning box, and the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder is hinged to the bucket lifting mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the rear cylinder head of the adjusting cylinder is connected to one end of the spring damper, and the other end of the spring damper is hinged to the cleaning box.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a transverse movement assembly, which includes a transverse movement track, a transverse movement frame, and an open chain. The cleaning box is provided with a transverse movement track facing left and right. A butterfly pulley is rotatably mounted on the transverse movement frame. The butterfly pulleys of the two transverse movement assemblies are respectively in rolling engagement with the left and right parts of the transverse movement track. Both the left and right parts of the cleaning box are provided with sprocket assemblies. The sprocket assemblies include a drive sprocket sleeved on the output shaft of the transverse movement motor and a driven sprocket rotatably mounted on the cleaning box. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket are arranged horizontally at intervals. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket are connected by an open chain. The two ends of the open chain are respectively connected to the transverse movement frame. Two vertical brush frames are correspondingly mounted on the two transverse movement frames.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0012] This invention allows access to the cargo compartment from above without opening the side doors, enabling the cleaning and collection of residual materials on the bottom, side walls, and front and rear of the compartment. A bucket elevator then transports the collected material outside the compartment. Depending on the amount of residual material, cleaning a single compartment can be completed in 3-5 minutes, reducing manpower, workload, and time spent on the work, significantly improving the aforementioned problems. Horizontal brushes clean materials adhering to the bottom walls of the compartment, vertical brushes clean materials adhering to the side walls, and corner brushes clean residual materials at the angles between the side walls and the bottom, as well as at bracing. This invention can collect and remove residual materials from open wagon compartments, with the amount of residual material inside a single compartment after cleaning typically below 5 kg.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention is described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0024] The connections mentioned in this invention are divided into fixed connections and detachable connections. Fixed connections, also known as non-detachable connections, include but are not limited to conventional fixed connection methods such as folded connections, riveted connections, adhesive connections, and welded connections. Detachable connections include but are not limited to conventional disassembly methods such as bolted connections, snap-fit ​​connections, pin connections, and hinged connections. When a specific connection method is not explicitly defined, it is assumed that at least one existing connection method can be found to achieve this function, and those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs. For example, a welded connection can be chosen for fixed connections, and a bolted connection can be chosen for detachable connections.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] Example: Figures 1-9 As shown, a cleaning and material collection mechanism for cleaning residual materials in open wagons of trains without opening the door includes a lifting frame 1, a bucket elevator 2 and a cleaning mechanism 3. The top of the bucket elevator 2 is connected to the lifting frame 1, and the cleaning mechanism 3 is symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the bucket elevator 2. The bucket elevator 2 is a bucket elevator, and its structure will not be described in detail here as it is prior art.

[0027] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning box 8. A roller 4 and a horizontal brush 5 are arranged parallel to each other at the bottom of the cleaning box 8. The roller 4 and the horizontal brush 5 are arranged from near to far from the bucket lifting mechanism 2. The two ends of the horizontal brush 5 are respectively rotatably engaged with the left and right ends of the cleaning box 8. The roller 4 includes a housing and a rotating shaft 19 rotatably disposed in the housing. Several blades 20 are arranged circumferentially on the rotating shaft 19. The blades 20 are composed of left and right spiral blades connected together. The left and right spiral blades rotate in opposite directions. The rotation direction of the left and right spiral blades from the end to the middle of the rotating shaft 19 is opposite to the working direction of the rotating shaft 19. A long feed port 17 is opened axially on the side of the housing facing the horizontal brush 5. A long discharge port 18 is opened axially on the side of the housing facing the bucket lifting mechanism 2.

[0028] The cleaning box 8 is equipped with vertical brush frames 9 on the left and right sides respectively. The vertical brush frames 9 are C-shaped. The upper and lower ends of the vertical brush 7 are respectively rotatably engaged with the two ends of the vertical brush frame 9. The corner brush 6 is rotatably set at the bottom of the vertical brush frame 9. When cleaning the open wagon, the horizontal brush 5 rolls along the bottom wall of the open wagon, the vertical brush 7 rolls along the corresponding side wall of the open wagon, and the corner brush 6 rolls along the angle between the corresponding side wall and the bottom wall of the open wagon. The horizontal brush 5 throws the loose residual material into the drum 4. The drum 4 throws the residual material into the bucket elevator mechanism 2 through the rotation of the blades 20. The discharge port of the bucket elevator mechanism 2 protrudes out of the open wagon.

[0029] This invention is installed on an open wagon sweeper to clean residual materials from open wagons. The top of the lifting frame 1 is equipped with guide pulleys for sliding cooperation with guide rails on the wagon's traveling frame. The lifting frame 1 is connected to the lifting chain of the open wagon sweeper's lifting mechanism. The lifting chain drives the lifting frame 1 to slide along the guide rails, thus achieving the lifting and lowering of the invention. The invention can move and clean along the open wagon's cargo compartment by moving the wagon's traveling mechanism. A horizontal brush 5 cleans materials adhering to the bottom wall of the wagon's cargo compartment, a vertical brush 7 cleans materials adhering to the side walls, and a corner brush 6 cleans residual materials at the angle between the side walls and the bottom surface, as well as at locations such as tie rods. The connection between the left and right spiral blades forms a triangular hopper. Materials thrown into the drum 4 by the horizontal brush 5 are thrown into the bucket lifting mechanism 2 by the centrifugal force of the rotating blades 20. This invention can collect and clean residual materials adhering to the open wagon's cargo compartment, removing them from the cargo compartment. After cleaning, the residual material inside a single wagon can be less than 5 kg.

[0030] The cleaning box 8 is hinged to the bucket lifting mechanism 2 via two parallel connecting lugs 21. The rear cylinder cover of the adjusting cylinder 22 is hinged to the cleaning box 8, and the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder 22 is hinged to the bucket lifting mechanism 2. By adjusting the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder 22, the lifting and lowering of the cleaning mechanisms 3 on both sides can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the pressure between the cleaning mechanisms 3 and the bottom wall of the open wagon, which is used to control the cleaning force of the horizontal brush 5 on the bottom wall of the open wagon.

[0031] The rear cylinder cover of the adjusting cylinder 22 is connected to one end of the spring damper 23, and the other end of the spring damper 23 is hinged to the cleaning box 8. The spring damper 23 is used to dampen vibrations when adjusting the cleaning box 8.

[0032] It also includes a transverse movement assembly 10, which includes a transverse movement track 11, a transverse movement frame 12, and an open chain 13. The cleaning box 8 is provided with a transverse movement track 11 facing left and right. A butterfly pulley 16 is rotatably arranged on the transverse movement frame 12. The butterfly pulleys 16 of the two transverse movement assemblies 10 are respectively in rolling cooperation with the left and right parts of the transverse movement track 11. The left and right parts of the cleaning box 8 are provided with sprocket groups. The sprocket group includes a drive sprocket sleeved on the output shaft of the transverse movement motor 15 and a driven sprocket 14 rotatably arranged on the cleaning box 8. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket 14 are arranged horizontally at intervals. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket 14 are connected by an open chain 13. The two ends of the open chain 13 are respectively connected to the transverse movement frame 12. Two vertical brush frames 9 are correspondingly arranged on the two transverse movement frames 12. The vertical brush frame 9 is connected to the cleaning box 8 via the transverse component 10. When the present invention is moved from the rear of the carriage to the front of the carriage by the trolley traveling device, the transverse component 10 can drive the vertical brush 7 and the corner brush 6 to move laterally along the vertical surface of the front of the carriage, so as to clean the residual materials at the front and rear of the carriage.

[0033] The distance between the two vertical brushes 7 can be adjusted by the transverse component 10, which is used to adjust the cleaning of the side wall of the open wagon by the vertical brushes 7.

[0034] This invention allows entry into the wagon from above without opening the side doors, enabling the cleaning and collection of residual materials from the bottom, side walls, and front and rear of the wagon. A bucket elevator then transports the collected material outside the wagon. Depending on the amount of residual material, cleaning a single wagon can be completed in 3-5 minutes, reducing manpower, workload, and time spent in the process, thus significantly improving the aforementioned problems.

[0035] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples of the present invention and do not limit its scope of protection. Those skilled in the art can make partial changes to them, as long as they do not exceed the spirit and essence of the present invention, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
