Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of railway engineering machinery, and particularly to an efficient grinding unit for rail grinding operations and a rail grinding trolley. Background Art

[0002] The grinding device is the actuator for rail grinding operations and a key component of the rail grinding train, playing an important role on the grinding train. The rail grinding device consists of multiple grinding units, and the quality, efficiency, angle coverage range, etc. of the rail grinding operation are all reflected by the grinding units. The grinding wheels on the grinding units directly act on the rails to achieve the grinding operation, and the rationality of the design of the grinding unit mechanism, the accuracy of the movement, and the number of grinding units are very important. However, the existing rail grinding units still have the following technical defects:

[0003] (1) The spatial structure of the grinding unit is loose, occupying a large space, resulting in fewer grinding heads arranged within the limited vehicle length range and a low grinding efficiency;

[0004] (2) The lifting resistance of the grinding motor is large, the lifting action is not smooth, and the accuracy of the grinding head landing point is low;

[0005] (3) The frame structure of the grinding device is complex, resulting in poor maintainability in the later stage.

[0006] In the prior art, the following documents are mainly related to this application:

[0007] Document 1 is a Chinese invention application filed by Golden Eagle Heavy Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. and China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. on August 12, 2022, and announced on September 23, 2022, with the announcement number CN115094693A. This invention discloses a rail grinding device, which includes a transverse movement mechanism, a deflection mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a grinding mechanism; the grinding mechanism includes a grinding wheel, and the circumferential surface of the grinding wheel can contact the rail head and move longitudinally along the rail along the running direction of the rail grinding vehicle, so as to grind the surface of the rail head; the lifting mechanism is used to drive the grinding mechanism to lift; the transverse movement mechanism is used to drive the lifting mechanism to rotate, so that the grinding wheel generates a transverse displacement relative to the rail; the deflection mechanism is used to drive the grinding mechanism to rotate, so that the grinding wheel generates an angular change relative to the rail. However, this device uses the circumferential surface of the grinding wheel for grinding. As the grinding distance becomes longer, wear indentations will occur on the circumferential surface of the grinding wheel, affecting the grinding quality. And this grinding device uses belt drive, there is high temperature inside the grinding device, and the belt is prone to aging and failure in a high-temperature environment.

[0008] Document 2 is a Chinese utility model patent applied by China Railway Construction Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd. on September 6, 2023, and publicly disclosed on September 23, 2024, with the publication number CN220724735U. This utility model discloses a rail grinding device, which includes a mounting frame, at least two grinding units, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is connected between adjacent grinding units and is used for the relative movement of adjacent grinding units in the transverse direction. The grinding unit includes a support frame that is vertically movably connected to the mounting frame; a transverse movement mechanism that is transversely movably connected to the support frame; a grinding mechanism that is rotatably arranged on the transverse movement mechanism and is arranged below the support frame; and a positioning mechanism that is used to move the grinding mechanism to the grinding position of the rail. The positioning mechanism is arranged on the transverse movement mechanism and is arranged on the side close to the grinding mechanism. This utility model can safely pass through the harmful space of the turnout and ensure that the rail grinding device always closely adheres to the turnout rail for grinding, avoiding the situation of operation limitation and grinding blind spots, thereby improving the grinding accuracy and quality of the turnout rail. However, the installation direction of its grinding wheel has no angle with the length direction of the rail, and the splashing direction of the grinding sparks cannot be controlled, resulting in easy burnout of the positioning mechanism behind the grinding wheel. The center of the grinding wheel is connected to the rotating shaft, and replacing the grinding wheel requires the overall disassembly of the rotating shaft below the grinding device, resulting in inconvenient grinding wheel replacement and difficult maintenance.

[0009] Document 3 is a Chinese utility model patent applied by Beijing Jiaotong University on February 8, 2023, and publicly disclosed on October 3, 2023, with the publication number CN219793486U. This utility model discloses a compact belt-type rail grinding unit and grinding device, including: a mounting frame installed on the grinding unit; a vertical movement mechanism installed on the mounting frame; a sanding wheel mechanism installed on the vertical movement mechanism and driven by the vertical movement mechanism to perform vertical movement; a tensioning mechanism installed on the mounting frame and connected to the sanding wheel mechanism, capable of tensioning the sanding belt of the sanding wheel mechanism; and a deflection movement mechanism installed on the mounting frame and connected to the grinding device, capable of driving the installed frame to deflect. The compactness of the grinding unit is maximally achieved, saving space; the stress on the contact sanding wheel is evenly distributed to two hollow cylindrical guide rails through the contact wheel mounting plate, and the grinding unit has a compact structure and strong stability. However, this grinding device is a supporting device for a small grinding machine, with a small power of the grinding motor, simple structural functions, and a low single grinding amount. Moreover, the degree of automation is low, and the transverse movement, deflection, and downward pressure of the grinding motor all need to be manually operated. The service life of the sanding belt is short and needs to be frequently replaced. Summary of the Invention

[0080] The rail grinding unit 2 adopts an integral dual-axis motor sliding back plate assembly. The grinding motor 204 can be independently lifted. By using an integral dual-axis sliding back plate, the part processing difficulty is reduced, the lifting precision of the grinding motor 204 is improved, the grinding precision is more easily guaranteed, and at the same time, the motor vibration is reduced, further improving the grinding quality. The grinding motor 204 is designed with high-position locking and deflection locking functions, which can greatly improve the grinding safety and stability. The rail grinding unit 2 has functions of pressing down, deflecting and transverse shifting, and can grind the main line of the rail, effectively improving the rail grinding efficiency and grinding quality.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] As shown in the attached Figure 18 to the attached Figure 24 figures, an embodiment of the rail grinding trolley 100 of the present application specifically includes:

[0083] Frame 1;

[0084] A fire and dust prevention device 3 arranged on the frame 1;

[0085] As described in Embodiment 1, a rail grinding unit 2 arranged on the frame 1 and located inside the fire and dust prevention device 3.

[0086] There are 6 grinding units 2 arranged in the fire and dust prevention device 3. Every two grinding units 2 are symmetrically arranged horizontally. Each grinding unit 2 includes 2 grinding motors 204. A grinding wheel connection flange 218 is installed at the shaft end of the grinding motor 204, and a grinding wheel 219 is installed on the grinding wheel connection flange 218. Existing rail grinding devices generally consist of 6, 8, 10, etc. grinding units. One grinding motor 204 is integrated inside each grinding unit. The grinding motor 204 drives the grinding wheel 219 to directly act on the rail to achieve the grinding operation. The number of grinding wheels 219 directly determines the grinding efficiency of the grinding device. The rail grinding device 100 described in this embodiment integrates 6 rail grinding units 2 in the limited space of a single-section grinding trolley. Two grinding motors 204 are integrated inside each rail grinding unit 2, for a total of 12 grinding motors 204. A total of 12 grinding wheels 219 can be installed. Multiple grinding trolleys are hung under the rail grinding vehicle, and multiple grinding trolleys cooperate with each other to perform operations simultaneously. The increase in the number of grinding heads of a single-section grinding trolley can arrange more grinding wheels without changing the overall vehicle length and the number of grinding trolleys; or reduce the number of grinding trolleys without changing the total number of grinding wheels, so as to reduce the number of vehicle sections and the overall vehicle length. Increasing the number of grinding heads can effectively improve the grinding efficiency of the rail grinding vehicle. Reducing the overall vehicle length can improve the flexibility of the overall vehicle, reduce the requirements for the station yard and the station, and can stop at more small stations or station yards for resupply.

[0087] As shown in the attached Figure 25 and the attached Figure 26As shown in the figure, the upper end of the grinding motor back plate 221 is installed on the vertical guide post top plate 214, and the lower end is installed on the vertical guide post bottom plate 217. One end of the fireproof and heat-insulating curtain 220 is installed above the grinding motor back plate 221, and the other end is installed on the frame longitudinal beam 101 on the inner side of the grinding device frame. The area separated by the grinding motor back plate 221, the fireproof and heat-insulating curtain 220 and the internal intermediate plate assembly is the high-temperature area B, and the intermediate dust collection port 304 is located above the high-temperature area. The area separated by the grinding motor back plate 221, the fireproof and heat-insulating curtain 220, the side panel assembly and the top panel assembly is the low-temperature area A, and the dust collection air port 303 is located above the low-temperature area. The transverse guide post 202, the grinding motor 204, the lifting drive mechanism 207, the vertical guide post 215 and the deflection drive mechanism 211 are all arranged in the low-temperature area. The rail grinding operation will cause the inside of the grinding device to be high-temperature, and the high temperature will affect the continuous operation ability of the grinding device. In this embodiment, by arranging the fireproof and heat-insulating curtain 220 and the grinding motor back plate 221 behind the grinding motor 204, and designing the isolation of the high and low temperature areas inside the grinding device, the sparks cannot splash into the low-temperature area, restricting the flow of high-temperature air to the motor side, and the temperature rise in the low-temperature area becomes slower, thereby improving the continuous operation ability of the grinding device. At the same time, by dividing the inside of the grinding device into a high-temperature area and a low-temperature area, the key components (such as: the grinding motor and its drive mechanism, as well as its internal bearings, coils, sealing rings and other key parts) are in the low-temperature area, which can reduce the failure frequency of the key components due to high temperature. The specific embodiment also improves the air flow velocity inside the grinding device and reduces the overall temperature inside the grinding device by increasing the number of air suction ports and dissipating heat from the high-temperature area and the low-temperature area inside the grinding device respectively.

[0088] The rail grinding trolley 100 has the functions of lifting and traveling, and the rail grinding unit 2 has the functions of transverse movement, downward pressure and deflection. The above functional components act on the whole vehicle through fasteners, cables, hydraulic pipelines, pneumatic pipelines, etc. After the operation control software is compiled, it is stored in the whole vehicle network control system. The rail grinding trolley 100 is installed under the whole vehicle. When it is in the non-operation state, it is suspended under the vehicle body through a locking pin; when it is in the operation state, it realizes synchronous traveling with the whole vehicle through the traction column installed under the vehicle body. After the operation stops, the rail grinding trolley 100 can be lifted by the lifting oil cylinder and locked. When the rail grinding vehicle travels and operates on the track, the rail grinding trolley 100 falls on the track and can perform the grinding operation on the rail. The electrical and control systems of the grinding vehicle can realize the power supply control and operation action execution control of the rail grinding trolley 100.
