[0026] The advantages of this differential pressure sand spreader are as follows:
[0027] 1. Throttling and shrinkage hole technology: By designing a Φ2.3 throttle hole on the air outlet nozzle, the compressed air transported into the air cavity through the air path forms a high-pressure area, and is sprayed into the inner cavity of the sand spreading body through the Φ2.3 throttle hole, forming a siphon effect, so that the sand and gravel are sucked into the adjustment tube body through the first sand inlet and the second sand inlet, and the sand and gravel are discharged from the bottom of the adjustment tube body along with the compressed air.
[0028] 2. Sand spreading action protection technology: The lower edges of the sand spreading cover, the first sand inlet and the second sand inlet are flush. In the absence of compressed air supply, no sand will be automatically discharged even when the train is running.
[0029] 3. Mechanically adjust the sanding amount technology: The second sand inlet of the adjustment tube body is a 12×6 long hole. When the second sand inlet of the adjustment tube body and the first sand inlet of the sanding body are completely overlapped, the sanding amount is the largest, which can basically reach 1000 g / min. Use an Allen wrench to loosen the two M6 locking screws that fix the adjustment tube body, and manually rotate the adjustment tube body. When the second sand inlet of the adjustment tube body and the first sand inlet of the sanding body are completely offset, the second sand inlet of the adjustment tube body is blocked by the sanding body, and the sanding amount is the least, which is basically zero.
[0030] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the following description is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings during specific use;
[0031] The sand-spreading body is made of stainless steel, and a Φ4 air path is processed on the sand-spreading body to transport the compressed air on the vehicle to the air cavity a through the Φ4 air path. Two 20×6 long holes are processed on the sand-spreading body as the first sand inlet. When assembled, the lower edges of the sand-spreading cover, the first sand inlet, and the second sand inlet are flush. In the absence of compressed air supply, no sand will be automatically discharged even if the train is running; there is a Φ2.3 throttle hole on the air outlet nozzle. The compressed air transported to the air cavity a through the Φ4 air path forms a high-pressure area, which is sprayed into the inner cavity of the sand-spreading body through the Φ2.3 throttle hole to form a siphon effect, so that The sand and gravel are sucked into the adjusting tube body through the first sand inlet and the second sand inlet, and the sand and gravel are discharged from the sand spreading joint at the bottom of the adjusting tube body along with the compressed air. After the pressure differential sand spreader is assembled, a sand spreading amount test is carried out in the factory. The sand spreading amount is adjusted by manually rotating the position of the adjusting tube body. When the sand spreading amount meets the customer's requirements, the two locking screws under the adjusting tube body are tightened, and anti-loosening marks are applied to protect this position from loosening. Through the above process, the position adjustment of the adjusting tube body is ensured by the mechanical adjustment method of manual rotation, thereby controlling the opening size of the second sand inlet relative to the first sand inlet, thereby realizing the control of the amount of sand spreading.

For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
