Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning tools, in particular to a tool for cleaning a railway crossing groove. Background Art

[0002] Railway crossing grooves, especially rail wheel flange grooves, are an important part of railway crossing safety. Regular cleaning is essential to ensure the safety and smoothness of railway transportation. Here are several main reasons:

[0003] Prevent debris accumulation: Various debris such as gravel, soil, ice and snow, fallen leaves, etc. are easily accumulated in the crossing trough. If these debris are not cleaned in time, they will gradually accumulate and affect the normal operation of the train;

[0004] Ensure smooth passage of trains: The cleanliness of the crossing groove directly affects the contact between the train wheels and the rails. If there are too many debris in the crossing groove, the friction between the wheels and the rails will increase, and may even lead to serious accidents such as train derailment.

[0005] Improve the service life of crossing equipment: Debris in the crossing groove may also cause damage to the crossing equipment (such as alarm equipment, lighting equipment, etc.), affecting their normal use and life.

[0006] The inside of the crossing groove mainly contains the following debris:

[0007] Natural debris: such as gravel, soil, fallen leaves, snow, etc. These debris are mainly produced by natural environmental factors;

[0008] Man-made debris: such as plastic bags, paper scraps and other household garbage, as well as parts dropped during vehicle driving;

[0009] Debris generated during railway maintenance: During the railway maintenance process, some waste may be generated, such as discarded ballast, old rails, etc., which may also fall into the crossing trough.

[0010] If the railway crossing groove is not cleaned regularly, the following consequences may occur:

[0011] Impact on train operation safety: debris in the crossing groove will increase the friction between the train wheels and the rails, and may even cause the train to derail or roll over. At the same time, debris may also get stuck in the crossing equipment, causing it to malfunction, especially for some railway freight cars transporting hazardous chemicals, which poses a greater safety hazard;

[0012] Increased maintenance costs for crossing equipment: When crossing equipment is damaged due to debris accumulation, it needs to be repaired or replaced, which will increase maintenance costs;

[0013] Affecting the efficiency of crossing traffic: Debris in the crossing groove may also affect the speed of vehicles, and even cause vehicle congestion, reducing the efficiency of crossing traffic;

[0014] Cause environmental pollution: If the garbage and waste in the crossing trough are not cleaned up in time, it may cause pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0015] In the process of implementing the solution, the inventors found that the following problems in the prior art have not been well solved: traditional cleaning tools are common brooms, shovels, and pickaxes. Although they can achieve the cleaning effect, when used for cleaning, the shape of the tools cannot adapt to the road crossing groove, resulting in cleaning troubles and poor cleaning effects. It is also time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0016] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a tool for cleaning a railway crossing groove, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0017] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0018] A tool for cleaning a railway crossing groove comprises a tool handle, a shovel handle and a shovel head, wherein a nail hole is drilled at one end of the tool handle, a shovel handle is provided at an end of the shovel head close to the tool handle, a mounting hole is drilled on the shovel handle, a screw is inserted into the mounting hole, and side grooves are drilled on both sides of the shovel head away from the shovel handle.

[0019] Preferably, the tool handle is located at one end of the nail hole and is inserted into the interior of the shovel handle.

[0020] Preferably, the position of the nail hole matches the position of the mounting hole, and one end of the screw passes through the mounting hole and is inserted into the inside of the nail hole.

[0021] Preferably, the end of the shovel head away from one end of the shovel handle is in an arc-shaped elevation shape.

[0022] Preferably, the shovel head is T-shaped.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] By providing side grooves at both ends of the shovel head, the shovel head is made into a T-shape, and the protruding part of the end of the shovel head is inserted into the interior of the crossing groove. The staff only needs to push, and the end of the shovel head can be pushed from one end of the crossing groove to the other end, and the debris in the crossing groove can be pushed out by the shovel head. Not only is the cleaning efficiency high, but it also has the advantages of easy operation, easy carrying, low cost, simple production, easy material acquisition, timely replacement after damage, and ensuring the transportation safety of railway freight vehicles.
