Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rail processing, and in particular to a grinding device for grinding rail welds. Background Art

[0002] When rails are welded at the rail base, a weld is formed at the welding point between every two rails. Usually, the thickness of the weld is higher than the surface of the rail to form a weld nodule protruding from the surface of the rail. The weld nodule must be polished off. In the prior art, a manipulator polishing device is provided to improve the polishing effect of the weld through the rotatable range of the manipulator itself.

[0003] Since rails have different shapes, existing rails usually include a rail head, a rail waist and a rail foot, wherein the arc angle between the rail head and the rail waist is different from the arc angle between the rail waist and the rail foot. Therefore, when grinding the weld nodules at the welds, different grinding heads are required to grind them. As a result, when processing the outer surface of the mold frame in batches, the staff always need to frequently replace the grinding heads, which is quite inconvenient, and therefore needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when grinding the curvature angle between the rail head and the rail waist, the first driving member is driven to drive the rotating plate to rotate, so that the first grinding head is rotated to the side of the rail to grind the curvature angle between the rail head and the rail waist; when grinding the curvature angle between the rail waist and the rail foot, the first driving member is driven to drive the rotating plate to rotate, so that the second grinding head is rotated to the side of the rail to grind the curvature angle between the rail waist and the rail foot. The first driving member is used to replace the corresponding first grinding head and second grinding head, and the switching speed is fast, thereby accelerating the replacement of the grinding head, so as to accelerate the grinding rate of the rail at the weld.

[0008] Preferably, the grinding head mechanism further includes a third grinding head rotatably connected to the rotating plate, and the third grinding head is used for grinding the entire rail.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, after the first grinding head and the second grinding head grind the curvature angle between the rail head and the rail waist and the curvature angle between the rail waist and the rail foot respectively, the rail needs to be grinded as a whole, and the first driving member is driven to drive the rotating plate to rotate, so as to rotate the third grinding head to the rail to grind the rail as a whole, thereby reducing the need to replace the grinding head.

[0010] Preferably, the grinding head mechanism is provided with three second driving members for driving the first grinding head, the second grinding head and the third grinding head respectively.
