[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 , which is a first embodiment of the present invention, provides a track detection device, including, a mounting unit 100, including a connecting assembly 101, an upper mounting plate 102 arranged below the connecting assembly 101, and lower mounting plates 103 arranged on both sides of the upper mounting plate 102;

[0035] The cleaning unit 200 includes a fixing plate 201 disposed at the front ends of the upper mounting plate 102 and the lower mounting plate 103, and a brush sheet 202 disposed at one side of the fixing plate 201;

[0036] The detection unit 300 includes a push switch 301 arranged at the top of the inner cavity of the upper mounting plate 102 and the outer side of the lower mounting plate 103, a first trigger component 302 arranged between the inner cavity of the upper mounting plate 102 and the upper surface of the track, and a second trigger component 303 arranged between the lower mounting plate 103 and the inner side of the track.

[0037] Specifically, the connection assembly 101 includes a connection plate 101 a and a reinforcement plate 101 b disposed on the inner side of a corner of the connection plate 101 a.

[0038] It should be noted that the connecting component 101 specifically includes a connecting plate 101a and a reinforcing plate 101b. The connecting plate 101a is an L-shaped plate, and the reinforcing plate 101b is welded at the corner of the connecting plate 101a to strengthen the strength of the connecting plate 101a. An upper mounting plate 102 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate 101a, and the upper mounting plate 102 is located above the track. A first trigger component 302 is arranged between the two to detect the upper surface of the track. Lower mounting plates 103 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper mounting plate 102. A second trigger component 303 is arranged between the lower mounting plate 103 and both sides of the track to detect the grooves on both sides of the track. Fixed plates 201 are fixedly connected to the front ends of the upper mounting plates 102 and the lower mounting plates 103. Brush pieces 202 are fixedly connected to the upper of the fixed plate 201. Multiple groups of brush pieces 202 surround the upper surface and both sides of the track. When the brush pieces 202 move, they will clean the debris on the surface of the track.

[0039] When in use, the device is installed on the track, and then moved to the front end of the train or bucket wheel excavator, and connected and installed through the connecting plate 101a. When the train or bucket wheel excavator is moving, the brush piece 202 is wrapped around the outside of the track to sweep away the debris on the track. Some debris that cannot be removed will continue to stick or get stuck on the track. The train or bucket wheel excavator may continue to push the detection device to move forward. The debris on the track will trigger the corresponding push switch 301 through the first trigger component 302 or the second trigger component 303. The push switch 301 is connected to the alarm in the workshop. When the push switch 301 is triggered, the alarm will be triggered in the workshop, and the operator will stop the car to check the track to eliminate potential dangers.

[0040] In summary, by setting corresponding trigger components on both sides and the upper surface of the track, when debris appears on the track that cannot be removed by the brush piece 202, the trigger component will trigger the corresponding push switch to turn on the alarm in the workshop, alerting the operator, avoiding the risk of derailment, and achieving protection for personnel and equipment.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 , the second embodiment of the present invention further provides that the first trigger assembly 302 includes a slide bar 302a slidably disposed on the upper mounting plate 102, a detection block 302b disposed at the bottom end of the slide bar 302a, a first spring 302c disposed between the detection block 302b and the top of the inner cavity of the upper mounting plate 102, and a pressing finger 302d disposed below the pressing switch 301;

[0043] The pressing finger 302d is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the detection block 302b.

[0044] Furthermore, the pressing finger 302d is made of one of plastic, rubber, and silicone.

[0045] It should be noted that the flexible material can reduce the risk of damaging the push switch 301 due to hard contact when the push switch 301 is triggered by the pressing finger 302 d.

[0046] Furthermore, the side surface of the detection block 302b is configured as an arc surface.

[0047] It should be noted that the slide bar 302a passes through the upper mounting plate 102 and is slidably connected to the upper mounting plate 102. The bottom of the slide bar 302 is fixedly connected to a detection block 302b. The detection block 302b is provided with an arc surface, which is arranged at the front of the moving direction of the detection block 302b. A first spring 302c is arranged between the detection block 302b and the upper mounting plate 102. The first spring 302c will press the detection block 302b downward, and the detection block 302b will always be close to the upper surface of the track.

[0048] During use, when debris appears in front of the detection block 302b, the equipment continues to move forward, and the debris will push the detection block 302b along the curved surface. The detection block 302b moves upward while driving the pressing finger 302d close to the press switch 301. If the debris on the surface of the track may cause the traveling equipment to derail, the detection block 302b will be pushed up to the height of triggering the press switch 301, thereby triggering the alarm.

[0049] In summary, the detection block 302b is lifted up by the debris that cannot be swept away, thereby driving the pressing finger 302d to trigger the press switch 301 to detect the upper surface of the track. The pressing finger 302d is made of flexible material, which can make the pressing process gentler, thereby increasing the service life of the press switch 301.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment further provides a second trigger component 303 including a fixing frame 303a arranged on the lower surface of the lower mounting plate 103, a fixing shaft 303b slidably arranged in the fixing frame 303a, a detection wheel 303c rotatably arranged on the fixing shaft 303b, a push rod 303d arranged on the outer wall of the fixing shaft 303b, a fixing block 303e arranged in the fixing frame 303a, a second spring 303f arranged between the fixing block 303e and the fixing shaft 303b, and a rotation switch 303g arranged between the push switch 301 and the push rod 303d.

[0052] Furthermore, the rotary switch 303g includes a fixed seat 303g-1, a rotating piece 303g-2 rotatably disposed on the fixed seat 303g-1, and a tension spring 303g-3 disposed between the fixed block 303e and the upper half of the rotating piece 303g-2.

[0053] Furthermore, a limiting rod 303g-1a is provided at the bottom of the fixing seat 303g-1.

[0054] Furthermore, the push switch 301 is located on the rotation track at the top of the rotating piece 303g-2.

[0055] It should be noted that the fixing frame 303a is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower mounting plate 103, a fixing shaft 303b is slidably arranged in the fixing frame 303a, a detection wheel 303c is rotatably connected to the fixing shaft 303b, the detection wheel 303c rolls along the inner surface of the track, and when there are debris in the track, the detection wheel 303c is squeezed outward, a push rod 303d is fixedly connected to the fixing shaft 303b, the push rod 303d is slidably connected in the fixing block 303e, and a second spring 303 is arranged between the fixing block 303e and the fixing shaft 303b. f, the second spring 303f will squeeze the fixed shaft 303b so that the detection wheel 303 is always in contact with the track. The fixed seat 303g-1 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed frame 303a. A rotating piece 303g-2 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 303g-1. When the rotating piece 303g-2 rotates, it can trigger the push switch 301. A limiting rod 303g-1a is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed seat 303g-1, which can ensure that under normal conditions, the tension spring 303g-3 pulls the rotating piece 303g-2 to separate from the push switch 301.

[0056] During use, when there are debris that cannot be swept away in front of the detection wheel 303c, the device continues to move forward, the detection wheel 303c will crush the debris, and the debris will squeeze the detection wheel 303c to move outward, and the detection wheel 303c moves outward through the push rod 303d, and one end of the push rod 303d pushes the bottom end of the rotating piece 303g-2, causing the rotating piece 303g-2 to rotate, and the top end of the rotating piece 303g-2 approaches the press switch 301 and triggers the press switch 301, thereby triggering the alarm.

[0057] In summary, the detection wheel 303c is pushed outward by debris, driving the push rod 303d to push the rotating piece 303g-2 to rotate, and the press switch 301 is triggered through the top of the rotating piece 303g-2, thereby triggering the alarm to achieve detection on both sides of the track.
