Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ballast cleaning in rail transit, in particular to a railway ballast cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Cleaning is an important task in rail transit operation and maintenance. The main way to backfill railway ballast is to use the excavator bucket to backfill the ballast to the edge of the track bed sleepers, and then use a tamping machine to compact it. After the tamping machine compacts, the ballast will splash on the track sleeper surface and shoulder, and there will be excess ballast in the track bed. If the excess ballast on the track sleeper surface and track bed is not cleaned in time, it will bring great safety hazards to the safety of train operation after the line is opened. At present, the ballast splashed on the sleeper surface and shoulder is cleaned manually, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a railway ballast cleaning device which can continuously clean the sleeper surface and flexibly adjust the height spacing between the roller brush and the sleeper to ensure that there is no ballast gravel on the sleeper surface and the sleeper shoulder.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a railway ballast cleaning device, including a frame, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic rotary drive assembly, a running assembly, and a roller brush assembly.

The hydraulic motor is connected to the trapezoidal screw, the lower end of the traveling leg is connected to the traveling roller by a bolt, the upper end of the traveling leg is connected to the inner lifting tube by a screw, and the trapezoidal screw nut seat is connected to the inner lifting tube by a bolt. When the hydraulic motor drives the trapezoidal screw to rotate, the trapezoidal screw nut seat will drive the inner lifting tube to move up and down, thereby controlling the relative position between the traveling wheel and the roller brush assembly.

[0006] In the above technical scheme, the roller brush assembly includes a passive sprocket, a supporting bearing seat, a hose, a roller brush shaft, and a pin shaft, and the hydraulic rotary drive assembly includes a driving sprocket, a chain, and a hydraulic motor; the roller brush assembly and the hydraulic motor are respectively installed at the bottom and top of the frame. When the hydraulic motors installed on the left and right sides of the frame rotate at the same time, the hydraulic motor drives the driving sprocket to rotate, and through the transmission of the chain, drives the passive sprocket to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the roller brush shaft. The roller brush shaft is connected with hoses of different lengths through pin shafts, and the overall contoured sleeper structure, when the hose contacts the gravel on the upper surface of the sleeper, it rotates to sweep the gravel to the gap between the sleepers, and at the same time drives the roller brush device along the railway line through the excavator.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the railway ballast cleaning device includes a hydraulic rotary drive to control the overall rotation and swing of the ballast cleaning device.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the railway ballast cleaning device includes a quick connector for connecting the ballast cleaning device to the excavator arm, and the excavator drives the device to perform mobile operations on the railway rail line.

[0009] The railway ballast cleaning device has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. The roller brush with profiled sleeper structure can effectively clean the ballast and gravel on the sleepers;

[0011] 2. The height distance between the roller brush and the sleeper can be flexibly adjusted by using the hydraulic lifting mechanism to ensure cleaning efficiency;

[0012] 3. The rubber tube is used as the roller brush medium, which can not only ensure that the sleepers are not damaged during the roller brushing, but also sweep the gravel from the sleepers to the gaps between the sleepers;

[0013] 4. It can automatically clean the ballast and gravel on the sleepers instead of manual work, without the need for additional power, only the hydraulic power provided by the excavator is needed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown.

[0022] The skeleton 1 of the ballast cleaning device is welded by profiles and plays the role of overall support. A hydraulic rotary drive 2, a quick connector 3, a lifting mechanism 4, a hydraulic rotary drive assembly 5, a running assembly 6, and a roller brush assembly 7 are installed on it; the hydraulic rotary drive 2 controls the overall rotation and swing of the ballast cleaning device so that the running wheels in the running assembly are just placed on the rails 9, and the angle can be adjusted at will, which is convenient for adjusting the angle of the ballast cleaning device during hoisting and transportation; the quick connector 3 is used to connect the device to the excavator arm, and the excavator The machine drives the device to move on the railway rail line; the lifting mechanism 4 drives the lifting and lowering of the screw nut through the hydraulic motor, so that the roller brush assembly 7 as a whole rises and falls relative to the rail, and controls the distance between the roller brush and the sleeper; the running assembly 6 controls the ballast cleaning device to move along the railway rail 9 so as not to go off the track; the hydraulic rotary drive assembly 5 is used to drive the roller brush assembly 7 to make a circular motion, and through the rolling of the roller brush assembly 7, the ballast crushed stone on the upper surface of the sleeper is rolled to the gap between the sleepers 10 and the sleepers, ensuring that there is no ballast crushed stone on the upper surface of the sleeper.
