Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of railway equipment cleaning tools, and particularly to a switch friction belt cleaner. Background Art

[0002] A switch is a key facility on a railway that can change the direction of a train and select a travel route. The friction belt is installed in the internal gap between the reducer and the friction connector of the switch machine. The friction belt is the main component for adjusting the friction current, and the friction current is a quantitative indicator of the switch-changing ability of an electric switch machine. Therefore, cleaning the friction belt is a key maintenance task. Due to the narrow working space, electrical maintenance personnel need to squat down and hold a long pliers to clamp sandpaper, fumbling to polish it, or remove the motor and reducer to polish the friction belt. The traditional method not only takes a long time, is difficult to control the force, and the sandpaper may fall off at any time, resulting in low cleaning strength, but also makes people easily fatigued when squatting for a long time, which is not conducive to other work assignments such as maintenance and integrated work of electrical and track maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the embodiment of this application is to provide a switch friction belt cleaner, aiming to reduce the cleaning time of the switch friction belt by electrical maintenance personnel and improve the labor efficiency of safe production.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] The embodiment of this application provides a switch friction belt cleaner, which includes a cleaning rod and a brush head assembly. The cleaning rod includes an L-shaped rod body and a handle. The L-shaped rod body is fixed to the side of the brush head assembly. The brush head assembly includes an arc-shaped brush head, a magic tape base, and sandpaper. The sandpaper is attached to the arc-shaped brush head through the magic tape base and can be replaced at any time when it is worn.

[0006] The upper end of the L-shaped rod body is a corner end, and the corner end of the L-shaped rod body is connected to the arc-shaped brush head by welding.

[0007] The lower end of the L-shaped rod body is a straight rod end, and the straight rod end of the L-shaped rod body is fixedly connected to a handle made of insulating material.

[0008] The arc-shaped brush head is made of metal. A magic tape base is fixedly arranged on the convex surface of the arc-shaped brush head, and the concave surface of the arc-shaped brush head is connected to the L-shaped rod body.

[0009] The sandpaper is flocked sandpaper.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The structure of this utility model is light and portable. The length of the L-shaped rod body is moderate, which is convenient for operators to operate, and its hardness is moderate, and the bending degree of the rod body can be adjusted appropriately. Since the friction belt is located in the internal gap between the moving switch machine reducer and the friction connector, and the space is narrow, the short part of the L-shaped rod body is flat-welded on the inner side of the brush head, so that the long part is fixed on the side of the brush head. When cleaning, only the brush head needs to be inserted into the interior, and the rod body does not occupy the working space for cleaning the friction belt. The handle is specially designed to be insulated to prevent maintenance personnel from being accidentally electrocuted. The arc-shaped brush head has the same bending angle as the friction belt, and the fitting degree during cleaning is over 95%. At the same time, the sandpaper can be replaced regularly. The flocked sandpaper can be directly adhered, is easy to tear by hand, is convenient and labor-saving, and is not easy to shed sand, effectively solving the disadvantages of long time consumption and low cleaning strength of the traditional turnout cleaning method.

[0017] The following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. It should be noted that: Similar reference numerals and letters indicate similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0018] The term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or apparatus comprising said element.

[0019] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a switch friction belt cleaner includes a cleaning rod and a brush head assembly. The cleaning rod includes an L-shaped rod body 2 and a handle 1. The L-shaped rod body 2 is fixed to the side of the brush head assembly. The brush head assembly includes an arc-shaped brush head 5, a magic tape base 4 and sandpaper 3. The sandpaper is attached to the arc-shaped brush head through the magic tape base.

[0020] The upper end of the L-shaped rod body 2 is a corner end, and the corner end of the L-shaped rod body is connected to the arc-shaped brush head by welding.

[0021] The lower end of the L-shaped rod body 3 is a straight rod end, and the straight rod end of the L-shaped rod body is fixedly connected to a handle made of insulating material.

[0022] The arc-shaped brush head 5 is made of metal. A magic tape base is fixedly arranged on the convex surface of the arc-shaped brush head, and the concave surface of the arc-shaped brush head is connected to the L-shaped rod body.

[0023] When an operator performs the cleaning operation on the friction belt of the switch machine, the friction belt is installed in the gap between the reducer and the friction connector of the electric switch machine. The operator can squat down and insert the present utility model into the narrow gap for cleaning operation. Since the length and hardness of the L-shaped rod body 2 are appropriate, while supporting the cleaning operation, the bending degree of the rod body can be adjusted moderately to meet more cleaning angles. The short end of the L-shaped rod body is welded inside the brush head, so that the long end is on the side of the brush head, which is suitable for cleaning the friction belt in a narrow space. The insulating handle 1 prevents maintenance personnel from being accidentally electrocuted. Clean with the brush head 5. When the sandpaper 3 is worn out, it can be torn off and a new piece of sandpaper 3 can be stuck on the magic base 4 for repeated use. The switch friction belt cleaner of the present utility model is convenient to use, simple to operate, has a large cleaning force, can effectively improve the operation efficiency and reduce the loss rate of the friction belt.

[0024] The above are only the embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
