The design of the contour wheels 76 enables them to roll along the contour of the rail to ensure the stable operation of the equipment. The grinding assembly 2 of the grinding device is driven by the feed assembly 5, the transverse movement assembly 7 and the swing assembly 4 to grind the rail. The feed assembly 5 drives the grinding assembly 2 to feed in the height direction of the rail, so that the grinding assembly 2 approaches the rail and grinds it; the transverse movement assembly 7 drives the grinding assembly 2 to move in the width direction of the rail to achieve lateral displacement and grinding of the rail; the swing assembly 4 drives the grinding assembly 2 to rotate along the circumference of the rail, and cooperates with the feed assembly 5 and the transverse movement assembly 7 to grind the circumference of the weld. During grinding, the grinding wheel of the grinding assembly 2 rotates at a high speed, contacts with the surface of the rail and grinds it. By controlling the movement and parameters of the grinding device, accurate grinding of the rail weld can be achieved, defects such as weld nodules and burrs at the weld can be removed, and the surface of the rail can be smooth and flat. In addition, by arranging the feed assembly 5 above the grinding assembly 2, the problem of the equipment being lifted during grinding can be avoided.
[0036] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the grinding assembly 2 includes: a fixed guide plate 21, a grinding motor 22 arranged on the guide plate, and a grinding wheel connected to the output end of the grinding motor 22, the grinding motor 22 is arranged on the fixed guide plate 21, and the grinding motor 22 shaft and the main shaft of the grinding motor 22 are provided with keyways, the grinding motor 22 shaft key is connected to the main shaft, there are two main shaft limit bearings on the main shaft to limit the main shaft, the main shaft limit bearings are fixed in the shaft head fixing cover, a grinding wheel tray is fixed under the main shaft, and a grinding wheel is fixed under the grinding wheel tray.

The feed motor 53 is started according to a preset program or operator instruction, driving the lead screw 54 to rotate. Due to the spiral cooperation between the lead screw and the lead screw nut 55, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion, thereby pushing the lower guide plate 52 and the workbench or workpiece carrier connected thereto to move up and down precisely in the vertical direction. A telescopic rod or guide rod 74 is arranged between the fixed guide plate 21 and the lower guide plate 52, so that the lower guide plate 52 can only move up and down, and the limit accuracy is improved.
[0039] Reference Figure 5 The transverse movement assembly 7 shown includes: at least two groups of synchronous pulleys 72 respectively arranged at both ends of the frame 1, a synchronous belt 73 rotatably mounted on the two groups of synchronous pulleys 72, and a reciprocating motor 71 whose output end is connected to at least one group of synchronous pulleys 72. The lower guide plate 52 is locked to the synchronous belt 73. The reciprocating motor 71 drives a synchronous pulley 72 to rotate, so that the synchronous belt 73 can rotate in a cycle. The reciprocating motor 71 is a servo motor that can be reversed, driving the grinding assembly 2 to move back and forth. The synchronous belt 73 has a toothed structure embedded in it that meshes with the tooth shape of the synchronous pulley 72, thereby achieving smooth and slip-free power transmission under the drive of the motor. The lower guide plate 52 can be firmly attached to the synchronous belt 73 by using a locking clamp or a quick-release fastener.

The lower guide plate 52 is provided with a sleeve body, and the guide rod 74 is passed through the sleeve body. The inner diameter of the sleeve body is larger than the outer diameter of the guide rod 74. The dust cover is made of a wear-resistant, oil-resistant, easy-to-clean flexible material, and is arranged in a W-shape and sleeved on the guide rod 74 to achieve axial expansion and contraction, effectively blocking external dust, cutting fluid, oil stains and other pollutants from entering the gap between the guide rod 74 and the sleeve body.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the swing assembly 4 includes: a swing motor 41 arranged on the frame 1, a first gear 42 connected to the output end of the swing motor 41, and a second gear 43 meshed with the first gear 42, and the second gear 43 is connected to the lower guide plate 52. When the swing motor 41 rotates, the first gear 42 drives the rotation of the second gear 43 through gear meshing.
[0043] The second gear 43 is connected to a guide frame 75, and the guide frame 75 is rotatably connected to a profiling wheel 76, and the profiling wheel 76 is rollingly connected to the rail to be ground. The second gear 43 is connected to the lower guide plate 52 through the guide frame 75, and the profiling wheel 76, the frame body 1 and the guide rod 74 are connected through the guide frame 75. A rigid connection structure is adopted between the second gear 43 and the lower guide plate 52, such as bolt fixing or integrated design, so that the lower guide plate 52 can follow the rotation of the second gear 43 and make a corresponding swinging motion, and there is no delay in power transmission. Under the guidance of the guide plate, the grinding wheel not only rotates at high speed around its own axis for grinding, but also, driven by the lower guide plate 52, reciprocates on the surface of the workpiece, forming a composite motion trajectory to adapt to the shape of the weld path. The guide frame can also be provided with limiting wheels 8 on both sides of the rail to be ground to prevent the profiling wheel 76 from moving sideways and leaving the rail.
[0044] Reference Figure 1As shown, the frame 1 is also provided with an electrical module 3, which includes at least a display and a control unit. The control unit is used to control the operation of the equipment. The control unit sets grinding parameters, such as feed speed, traverse distance, swing angle, spindle start and stop, etc. The parameters can be adjusted according to specific grinding requirements and process parameters. The electrical module 3 is integrated into the frame 1 or attached to a position of the frame 1 that is easy to operate. The information displayed on the screen includes but is not limited to the currently set grinding parameters (such as feed speed, traverse distance, swing angle, spindle speed), working status indication, alarm information, and a simple operation menu. The operator can intuitively view and adjust various parameters through the touch screen or physical buttons (if applicable) to achieve real-time monitoring and control of the grinding process. The control unit can receive input instructions from the operation interface, convert them into specific motor control signals after analysis, and then accurately control the speed of the grinding motor 22, the movement mode of the swing motor 41, and other auxiliary functions. The control unit supports the preset of multiple grinding programs. The operator can quickly select or customize appropriate grinding parameters according to factors such as workpiece material, shape, and processing requirements, thereby realizing automation and refined management of the processing process. The power unit 6 is a rechargeable lithium battery.
