Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of railway turnout cleaning equipment, in particular to a railway turnout cleaning equipment. Background Technique

[0002] The railway track is the running track of trains. Due to being in the external environment for a long time and being affected by the environment, the cleaning equipment for railway turnouts is mainly used to clean sundries, dirt, snow, etc. in the railway turnout area to ensure the normal operation of the turnout and the safe operation of trains.

[0003] Among them, de-icing of railway tracks in snowy days is particularly important. In case of sudden rain or snow weather, a large amount of snow will cover the track surface of the railway track. The snow in contact with the track will melt and then freeze in low temperature. Subsequently, the subsequent snow will cover the ice, making it difficult for the ice to melt and increasing the thickness of the track. Heavy snow and freezing will affect the normal operation of the turnout. Relevant staff generally use cleaning equipment for snow removal operations, such as iron shovels, brooms, and gauze. During the cleaning process, it is relatively difficult to handle the compacted ice, which affects the de-icing efficiency and increases the labor burden of the staff. Therefore, a railway turnout cleaning equipment is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0030] The rectangular block on the inner wall of the movable plate 44 is inserted into the inner wall of the groove on the side of the bucket plate 46, which can prevent the bucket plate 46 from tilting during use. The bucket plate 46 and the movable plate 44 can be butt-jointed and fixed by bolts 47 to ensure the stability of the butt joint between the bucket plate 46 and the movable plate 44. The bucket-shaped groove structure of the bucket plate 46 can be used to de-ice the railway track, ensuring the convenience of ice shoveling. Through the inclined surface design of the vertical plate of the bucket plate 46, the accumulated ice removed can be guided, so that the accumulated ice can be guided to splash and fall. By the telescopic movement of the piston end of the cylinder 43, the lifting operation of the movable plate 44 can be controlled and changed, so that the movable plate 44 can drive the bucket plate 46 to abut against the railway track, ensuring the cleanliness of ice shoveling and reducing the residual accumulated ice.

[0031] By connecting and fixing the baffle 45 to the side of the movable plate 44, the baffle 45 can intercept and guide the splashing accumulated ice, thus facilitating the discharge of the accumulated ice outside the railway track. At the same time, through the guide groove of the fixed plate 42, the T-shaped guide plate end of the movable plate 44 can be limited, ensuring the stability of the movable plate 44 during lifting adjustment.

[0034] Working principle: According to the attached Figure 2 And the attached Figure 3As shown, during use, the drive motor 36 can be started, causing the shaft end of the drive motor 36 to drive the rotation of the control sub-gear 35. The sub-gear 35 cooperates with the main gear 34 to control the rotation of the opposed threaded rod 33. During rotation, the opposed threaded rod 33 can drive two movable blocks 32 to move relative to each other in the guide grooves of the magazine 31, thereby adjusting the position of the bucket plate 46. By controlling the telescopic movement of the shaft end of the cylinder 43, the movable plate 44 is moved, causing the movable plate 44 to drive the bucket plate 46 to abut against the surface of the railway track for scraping operation. When the staff holds and pushes the push rod 2, the bucket plate 46 can scrape the ice on the surface of the railway track. The floating ice generated during ice removal is sputtered onto the inner wall of the baffle 45 under the guidance of the inclined surface of the bucket plate 46. The baffle 45 guides the ice and snow, causing the ice and snow to be guided to the outside of the railway track to complete the cleaning operation;

[0035] Secondly, as shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, rotate the turntable 51. The turntable 51 can drive the cleaning disc 54 to move through the bracket 52, thereby changing the position of the cleaning disc 54. At this time, the latch 57 is located above the through-hole of the turntable 51. The elastic force of the support spring 56 can push the latch 57, causing the latch 57 to be inserted into the through-hole of the turntable 51 for positioning. At this time, the adjusted cleaning disc 54 can be fixed. During the movement of the equipment base 1, the shaft end rotation of the micro motor 53 can drive the cleaning disc 54 to rotate, enabling the cleaning disc 54 to clean the railway track.

[0036] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments.
