[0020] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.
[0021] In the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom" contained in the terms merely represent the directions of the terms in normal usage, or are common names understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the terms.
[0022] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a flat car track sweeper, which includes a fixing member 2 arranged in front of the running direction of the flat car wheel 1, the fixing member 2 is connected to the wire brush 4 through a spring 3, wherein the bottom of the bristles of the wire brush 4 is against the flat car guide rail 5.
[0023] Through the above technical solution, a fixing part 2 is installed in front of the running direction of the flat car wheel 1, and a wire brush 4 is installed on the fixing part 2 through a spring 3, and the bottom of the bristles of the wire brush 4 is against the flat car guide rail 5. When the flat car moves forward, the obstacles in front of the flat car wheel 1 can be cleaned and removed by the bristles of the wire brush 4, away from the flat car guide rail 5, effectively avoiding the flat car from falling off the track and causing safety accidents, greatly improving production safety. Among them, due to the existence of the spring 3, the height of the wire brush 4 can be adjusted, making it more applicable; at the same time, the spring 3 can also play a good shock-absorbing and buffering role, which is safe, reliable and easy to operate.
[0024] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the spring 3 and save the occupied space of the flat car track sweeper, preferably, the top end surface of the fixing member 2 is welded and fixed on the flat car, and the bottom end surface is partially recessed inward to form a cavity for accommodating the spring 3. In this way, the spring 3 can be installed in the cavity, which not only reduces the occupied space, but also prevents the debris from splashing into the spring gap during the cleaning process of the flat car track sweeper and getting stuck, thereby affecting its normal telescopic shock absorbing function.
[0025] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the wire brush 4 and to facilitate the replacement of the new wire brush 4 after long-term use to ensure a good effect of clearing obstacles, the top end of the spring 3 is preferably welded to the cavity and a wire brush mounting block 6 is provided at the bottom end.
[0026] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the replacement of the wire brush 4 after long-term use or to quickly and conveniently replace wire brushes 4 of different models according to specific usage requirements, preferably, the wire brush 4 is detachably mounted on the wire brush mounting block 6. With this structure, the wire brush 4 can be removed and replaced separately during replacement, and the wire brush 4 and the wire brush mounting block 6 can also be removed and replaced as a whole, which is convenient to operate and greatly improves maintenance efficiency.
[0027] When the flat car track sweeper is actually used, some debris may accidentally splash during the brushing process of the wire brush 4. These debris may splash upward into the cavity of the fixing part 2 and remain there. After a long period of accumulation, they will block the movement space of the spring 3 and make it lose its original function. In order to avoid this situation, it is convenient to clean out the debris accumulated in the cavity of the fixing part 2 in a timely and convenient manner. Preferably, a slag discharge port is formed on the side wall of the fixing part 2, and the slag discharge port is sealed by a cover. In this way, when cleaning is needed, there is no need to disassemble the fixing part 2 or the spring 3. You only need to open the sealed cover and take out the debris from the slag discharge port quickly and easily, so that normal use can be restored as soon as possible.
[0028] In this embodiment, in order to improve the cleaning efficiency of the wire brush 4 so that it can remove as much debris as possible in the forward direction of the flat car wheel 1, preferably, the width of the bristles of the wire brush 4 is greater than the width of the flat car wheel 1. On this basis, further, it is preferred that the width of the bristles of the wire brush 4 is 2-3 times the width of the flat car wheel 1.
[0029] In addition, in the process of spring 3 telescopic shock absorption, in order to prevent it from being skewed or even twisted by a large external force, which may seriously affect the rail sweeping effect of the wire brush 4, a spring column is preferably formed in the cavity, and the spring column extends from the bottom end surface of the cavity along the central axis to the wire brush mounting block 6, and the spring 3 is sleeved on the spring column. In this way, the spring 3 can always maintain reciprocating motion in the direction along the central axis to ensure efficient shock absorption effect.
