Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of track cleaning, in particular to a novel rail sweeper. Background Art

[0002] Metallurgical vehicles, such as ladle cars, slag cars, flat cars, tundish cars, etc., frequently shuttle in high-temperature, heavy-load, and dusty environments. It is inevitable that iron filings, oxides, oil stains, and other impurities will accumulate on their running tracks. These impurities will not only affect the running stability of the vehicles, but may also pose safety hazards and reduce production efficiency. In the current rail cleaners used, it is easy for excessive metal slag to accumulate on the front side of the rail cleaning plate as the vehicle moves, affecting the normal operation of the rail cleaner.

[0003] In view of the above problems, the patent document with the authorization announcement number CN218116301 U discloses a rail cleaner for metallurgical vehicles. The connecting frame of this rail cleaner is installed on the mounting plate under the front side of the vehicle body. A plow-shaped cleaning plate is fixedly arranged on the front side of the connecting frame, and cleaning components are arranged at the bottoms of both ends of the plow-shaped cleaning plate. An anti-accumulation component is arranged on the front side of the plow-shaped cleaning plate. The anti-accumulation component includes a first motor, and the first motor is sequentially connected to the bottom of the scraper through a bidirectional screw and a chute. During use, the plow-shaped cleaning plate moves as the vehicle moves, thereby cleaning the track. The first motor drives the scraper to rotate, scraping the accumulated metal slag to both sides of the track to prevent the continuous accumulation of metal slag and ensure the normal operation of the rail cleaner. The cleaning components are used to sweep away the remaining residues on the track.

[0004] It can be seen that the above rail cleaner can move as the vehicle moves, clean the track through the plow-shaped cleaning plate, scrape the metal slag accumulated on the track to both sides of the track through the scraper, and sweep away the residues on the track through the cleaning components, achieving a good cleaning effect. However, its structural form is complex and it contains many components, resulting in more materials and resources being consumed in its processing and manufacturing, greatly increasing its manufacturing cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model provides a novel rail sweeper to solve the technical problem that the complex structural form of the existing rail cleaner increases its manufacturing cost.

The width of the metal strip brush is greater than the width of the track, so that the metal strip brush can be used to clean the debris on the track. The structure is simple and occupies a small area, which is easy to install;

[0016] 2. The gap between the fixing plate and the mounting plate in the fixing assembly is adjusted by using the adjusting assembly, so that the installation position of the metal strip brush in the vertical direction can be adjusted, so that the bottom of the metal strip brush can contact the tracks at different heights, thus expanding its application range;

[0017] 3. The metal strip brush includes multiple steel wire ropes arranged side by side, or the metal strip brush includes multiple hard metal wires arranged side by side.
