[0022] In this embodiment, the flatbed vehicle 1, the drive motor 2, the control box 3 and the cleaning brush 51 constitute the main structure of the double-track rail fastener inspection vehicle involved in this application.
[0023] Specifically, the laser displacement sensor 12 and the CCD camera 13 adopt the same device as that involved in the comparative document (application number: 201720533921.3); the driving wheels 14 are provided in two groups, front and rear, on the lower side of the flatbed vehicle 1, and the front group of driving wheels 14 is connected to the half-axle 24, and the rear group is independently connected to the flatbed vehicle 1 for rotation, and the cleaning brush 51 is located in front of the front group of driving wheels 14.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the stable movement of the flatbed truck 1 is achieved by setting up two sets of driving wheels 14, and through the rotational connection between the driving wheels 14 and the flatbed truck 1, and the universal connection between the driving wheels 14 and the outer ball cage 25, a natural turn can be achieved at the arc of the track, and the turning force comes from the driving force of the flatbed truck 1 and the force applied by the track to the wheel groove wall of the driving wheel 14; the wheelbase of the driving wheel 14 matches the width of the rail.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving wheel 14 is rotatably connected to the flatbed vehicle 1, and the CCD camera 13 is located on both sides of each driving wheel 14, and the laser displacement sensor 12 is located on the outside of the CCD camera 13, an alarm 32 and an antenna 33 are installed on the upper side of the control box 3, and the alarm 32 is electrically connected to the alarm module set inside the main controller 34, and the laser displacement sensor 12 and the CCD camera 13 are electrically connected to the detection module set inside the main controller 34.
[0026] Specifically, a wireless communication module and a driving module are further provided in the main controller 34 , and the wireless communication module is electrically connected to the external antenna 33 , and the driving module is electrically connected to the external driving motor 2 .
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, during the detection process, when the position of the rail fastener deviates from the actual standard position, the alarm module can drive the alarm 32 to alarm, and at the same time, the main controller 34 and the drive module can stop the drive motor 2, which is convenient for guiding the location of the problem.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the differential 23 is fixed by a tilting rod connected to the lower end of the flatbed truck 1, and the differential 23 is located in the middle position of the lower side of the flatbed truck 1, and the half shafts 24 connected at both ends of the differential 23 are of the same length, the drive shaft 22 and the driven shaft 4 are meshed with bevel gears, and the driven shaft 4 is rotatably connected to a positioning plate on the outer side, and a bearing is provided in the positioning plate.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, a cleaning brush 51 is provided to clean the surface of the rails on the route of the flatbed vehicle 1. Since the rotation area of the cleaning brush 51 is larger than the width of the rails, the arc-shaped end of the rails can still be cleaned.
[0033] When in use, first place the wheel groove of the driving wheel on the double rails of the rail to achieve locking, then control the driving motor to start through the external remote control device, and through the reduction box, transmission shaft, differential, half shaft and outer ball cage, it is convenient to drive the driving wheel to automatically rotate and travel on the rail under the action of the driving motor, thereby driving the flatbed car to move on the rail as a whole, and then during the movement, the specific position of the rail fastener is detected by the laser displacement sensor and the CCD camera, and the transmission connection between the transmission shaft and the driven shaft, and the transmission connection between the driven shaft and the rotating rod is utilized, so that the rotating rod drives the cleaning brush to clean the debris (stones, broken soil or garbage) on the rail on the travel route of the driving wheel, so that not only the rail is cleaned, but also the debris is prevented from affecting the travel of the driving wheel, thereby ensuring the driving stability of the flatbed car and thus ensuring the accuracy of the detection.
[0034] The double-track rail fastener inspection vehicle of the utility model can effectively solve the problems of heavy workload, high manual labor intensity and functional deviation in the rail fastener inspection devices in the prior art, and reduces the workload and manual labor burden and increases the cleaning effect of the rails on the basis of the existing double-track rail fastener inspection vehicle technology.
