[0002] Rail transit refers to a type of transportation vehicle or transportation system in which operating vehicles need to travel on specific tracks. The most typical rail transit is a railway system consisting of traditional trains and standard railways. With the diversified development of train and railway technology, rail transit has shown more and more types, not only covering long-distance land transportation, but also widely used in medium and short-distance urban public transportation. The sand box is an important component on freight mainline electric locomotives to ensure the safe operation of trains. When the train starts, climbs, goes downhill, and brakes in an emergency, huge friction is required between the wheels and the rails. At this time, the locomotive control system uses high-pressure air to open the sand box and use a sand spreader to spread the sand in the sand box on the rails to increase friction and adhesion, ensuring smooth starting and safe braking of the train.

[0003] Since locomotives need to run for a long time to travel to various regions, it is inevitable to encounter rainy weather during the train's travel. Being in a rainy environment for a long time can easily cause the inside of the sand box to get damp, which will increase the adhesion of the sand inside the sand box, and then cause the fluidity of the sand to decrease, and the sand discharge speed will be slow, thus affecting the normal use of the sand box.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sand box for rail transportation vehicles to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] The bottom of the inner box 2 is connected with a sand outlet pipe 12, the other end of the sand outlet pipe 12 passes through the outer box 1 and extends to the bottom of the outer box 1 and is threadedly connected with a three-way pipe 13, a solenoid valve 14 is provided on the sand outlet pipe 12, the bottom of the three-way pipe 13 is threadedly connected with a sand spreading pipe 15, the other end of the sand spreading pipe 15 is provided with a nozzle 16 for discharging the sand inside the sand box and spreading it on the track, so as to increase the friction adhesion between the wheel and the track and ensure the smooth starting and safe braking of the locomotive.

[0025] A motor 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner box 2. The output shaft of the motor 17 passes through the inner box 2 and extends to the inside of the inner box 2 and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 18. The rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected to a stirring blade 19 for increasing the fluidity of the sand inside the sand box so that the sand can enter the sand outlet pipe 12 more smoothly.

[0026] A plurality of vent holes 20 are provided on the top of the inner box 2 to ensure the stability of the internal air pressure of the inner box 2 when the sand in the inner box 2 is discharged.

[0027] An air pump 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer box 1, and an air pipe 22 is threadedly connected to the left side of the air pump 21.
