[0002] A turnout is a line connection device that allows locomotives and vehicles to transfer from one track to another. It is also one of the weak links of the track. It is usually laid in large quantities at stations and marshaling yards. With turnouts, the line's capacity can be fully utilized. Even for single-track railways, laying turnouts and building a fork line that is longer than the length of the train can allow trains to run in opposite directions. Snow and sand will reduce the friction between the rails and wheels, increase the braking distance of the train, and affect the safety of train travel; fine particles and chemicals in the sand may corrode the surface of the rails, causing damage to the rails and reducing their service life; snow and sand may clog the sensors and equipment of the signal system, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the signal.

[0003] Snow and sand conditions at turnouts vary depending on geographic location, climate conditions and seasonal changes; in areas with thicker snow or more sand, greater downforce is required to ensure effective removal; while in areas with thinner snow or less sand, excessive downforce may cause unnecessary equipment wear or damage

[0004] In actual use, the downward pressure adjustment method of the snow and sand removal blowing device is relatively complicated, requiring the operator to perform tedious adjustment steps; this not only increases the difficulty of operation, but may also affect work efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, a railway turnout snow and sand removal blowing device is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The joint assembly 3, the downward pressure adjustment assembly 3 includes an adjustment rod 31, the adjustment rod 31 is a telescopic rod, the adjustment rod 31 is installed between the connecting block 23 and the purge base 25, and an adjustment bolt 32 is arranged on the adjustment rod 31. The support assembly 1 provides stable support for the entire device to ensure that the device can work stably during the snow and sand removal process; the first connecting rod 22 ensures that the purge assembly 2 can be firmly installed on the support base 11; when the adjustment rod 31 is extended or shortened, it will drive the angle of the second connecting rod 24 to change, so that the purge base 25 can be lowered or raised. After the angle is fixed, it is fixed by the adjusting bolt 32, so as to adjust the contact area with the turnout surface and the downward pressure.

[0022] Four sets of moving wheels 12 are installed at the lower end of the supporting base 11, and the moving wheels 12 enhance the mobility and flexibility of the railway turnout snow and sand removal blowing device, so that the device can perform snow and sand removal work more efficiently and conveniently.

[0023] Mounting holes 111 are provided on both sides of the front end of the support base 11, and the first connecting rod 22 is installed inside the mounting hole 111. An angle fixing bolt 4 is provided on the side of the mounting hole 111.
