Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a T-shaped track cleaning mechanism and belongs to the technical field of track foreign matter monitoring devices. Background Art
[0002] The stand-alone track foreign body monitoring system is an auxiliary function in the operation of the automated stacker-reclaimer. With the commissioning of the automated stacker-reclaimer function, in order to improve its automation level, it is still necessary to monitor the mechanical operating environment from all aspects on site. Track foreign body monitoring is one of the important factors affecting the stability of automated operations, especially when there are collapsed stacks covering the tracks and when there are personnel affecting the movement of the stand-alone machine. Even if the entire process is remotely monitored by the operator, it is still impossible to achieve all-round monitoring due to the number of cameras, camera angles, and operator energy. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct exploration and research on the project in combination with the actual situation on site, so that the track foreign body detection system can meet the requirements of all-weather, all-condition, stable and reliable operation.
[0003] In the stand-alone running track foreign body monitoring system of SDIC Caofeidian Port, the system is designed to install an intelligent mobile inspection robot inside the belt conveyor, and collect on-site information through the visible light camera, infrared camera, pickup and other sensors configured on the robot. The information collected on-site is transmitted to the upper system through the operator's 5G network for data processing, and then the fault information of the rollers along the line is analyzed and located, and the fault information is alarmed and recorded. The robot travels on the T-track through the grooved wheels. The installation of the T-track uses the bottom support beam of the belt conveyor as a hoisting carrier, and the robot walking track is hoisted at the roller position along the direction of the belt conveyor.
[0004] During actual application, due to the accumulation of fallen coal on the track, the surface of the guide rail is piled up, blocking the robot from passing through the coal accumulation position, thereby affecting the foreign object monitoring work of the conveyor track. The existing track cleaning mechanism is not fully competent for the track cleaning work.
[0005] In the prior art, a method for making a track cleaner for port machinery equipment of Huaneng (Fujian) Seaport Co., Ltd. is provided. The outdoor track equipment used in ports all year round will be affected by wind and rain, and the track surface will rust or adhere to solid dust particles, which will cause the equipment to slide and move on the track and cause friction with it, resulting in a harsh sound. At the same time, long-term friction will also cause damage to the equipment. The track is easy to deform and accidents may occur due to poor track use, so that the track cannot play its role well. In order to ensure the use effect, most of the track surfaces are cleaned manually. The track at low places can be cleaned manually, but the track at high places is not easy to operate manually and the safety performance is also low. In addition, the use of a large amount of manpower will increase costs and waste resources. At the same time, incomplete cleaning may occur sometimes. This scheme proposes a solution to the above problems, which can only clean the dirt on both sides of the I-shaped track, but has no good effect on the surface cleaning of the overhead complex working condition T-shaped track.
[0006] Suzhou Tongxinnuo Storage System Technology Co., Ltd. has a track cleaning mechanism based on a shuttle car. The shuttle car body is equipped with a casing on both sides, and anti-collision blocks are installed at both ends of the casing. The inner side of the anti-collision block is provided with a fixing groove for embedding the brush handle. The lower end of the brush handle is provided with evenly distributed bristles. The bolts on the anti-collision block penetrate the holes on the anti-collision block and the brush handle and are screwed to the casing. The brush of this scheme is firmly and stably installed. The bristles of the brush are stable and reliable, and have the advantage of not easy to shed hair. Moreover, the hardness of the horse palm hair is appropriate, and it does not damage the track, which can play a good cleaning role. The brush can easily clean up dust, debris and other debris on the track, thereby preventing the walking wheel from compacting the debris on the track to form a bump that is difficult to remove when walking. Avoid the problem of bumps and shaking when the walking wheel crosses the bump, causing the internal line of the shuttle car to loosen and fail, and the walking wheel to be severely worn, and the life span is greatly reduced. This scheme cannot clean hardened coal blocks and is not applicable to the foreign body monitoring system of the belt conveyor track in the port. Utility Model Content

[0025] The robot fixing base 1 is a single-sided trapezoidal metal fixing block with a mounting hole, which is installed in the bottom fixing hole of the auxiliary fixing frame 8 .
[0026] The cleaning mechanism supporting spring leaf 2 is made of 1.5 mm thick long strip spring steel, with fixing holes 1 processed at both ends. It is installed close to the robot fixed base 1 and fixed to the mounting hole position of the robot fixed base 1 by a spring leaf fixing block and bolts.

[0033] The functions of the important parts of this utility model are as follows:
[0034] ①The robot fixed base serves as the connection between the cleaning mechanism and the robot.
[0035] ② The cleaning mechanism support spring plays the role of applying pressure to the upper surface of the T-track for the cleaning mechanism and supporting the operation of the cleaning mechanism.
[0036] ③The reed fixing block is mainly used to fix the cleaning mechanism supporting reed.
[0037] ④ The track sweeping plate at the front end of the supporting spring plays the role of the first track cleaning, and is mainly used for sweeping coal dust.
[0038] ⑤ The inclined coal block sweeping baffle plays the role of secondary track cleaning, mainly used to push large pieces of fallen coal off the T-shaped guide rail.
[0039] ⑥ The function of the end support spring is to support the cleaning mechanism close to the guide rail when the robot goes up and down the slope, and to provide greater thrust when passing through a track section with a large amount of coal accumulation.
[0040] ⑦ Teflon wear-resistant pads prevent direct friction between metals from causing wear of the mechanism and prevent the generation of friction sparks.

When the robot moves forward or backward, the utility model starts to work. The rubber brush of the track sweeping plate at the front end of the support spring cleans the track in the first stage and sweeps the coal dust. The inclined coal block sweeping baffle cleans the track for the second time and pushes the large pieces of coal off the T-shaped guide rail. The cleaning mechanism supports the spring to continuously apply a certain track pressure. Since the Teflon pad has a self-lubricating effect, it will not produce too much resistance to cause the robot to stop running.
[0043] The utility model uses leaf springs as mechanism supports to provide pressure for cleaning work. The two-stage cleaning mechanism ensures the cleaning effect. The self-lubricating property of the Teflon pad is used as a moving friction component. The inclined rubber and Teflon baffle are used for pushing and sweeping, which reduces the situation of actively generating dust. The mechanism is simple and easy to disassemble and assemble.
[0044] The utility model provides a track cleaning function for the inspection robot of the track foreign body monitoring system and provides a solution for cleaning the top surface of the T-track. The inclined angle of the robot fixed base can be adjusted to adjust the track pressure of the supporting spring. The utility model is portable and can be applied to the cleaning work of the T-tracks of other systems.
