[0019] The track cleaning device of the monorail hoist track locomotive of the utility model is used in conjunction with the monorail hoist locomotive to clean the dust and sundries in the track groove of the monorail hoist track to ensure the operation safety.

[0020] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, it includes a walking frame, a friction wheel 5 and a columnar cleaning brush 7. The axle 4 of the friction wheel 5 and the rotating shaft of the columnar cleaning brush 7 are arranged on the walking frame 10. The friction wheel 5 is in contact with the side surfaces of the walking grooves on both sides of the monorail hoist track 2, and the outer peripheral brush of the columnar cleaning brush 7 is in contact with the inner surfaces of the walking grooves on both sides of the monorail hoist track 2. A synchronous rotation drive mechanism is provided between the rotating shaft of the friction wheel 5 and the rotating shaft of the columnar cleaning brush 7. When the friction wheel 5 rotates, it drives the columnar cleaning brush 7 to rotate. When the columnar cleaning brush 7 rotates, it cleans the inner surfaces of the walking grooves on both sides of the monorail hoist track 2. The walking frame is connected to the monorail hoist locomotive and runs. The friction between the friction wheel and the track causes passive rotation, driving the columnar cleaning brush to rotate, achieving track cleaning without dedicated power.

[0021] The device is also provided with walking wheels 13, a walking frame 10, walking vertical plates 3 and connecting seats 1. The connecting seats 1 are arranged at the front end and the rear end of the walking frame 10, and the connecting seats are connected to the monorail hoist track 2 locomotive. Walking vertical plates are respectively arranged on both sides of the front end and the rear end of the walking frame 10.

[0022] Specifically, the lower parts of the walking vertical plates 3 are fixedly arranged at the front end and the rear end of the walking frame 10. The walking vertical plates on both sides of the walking frame are arranged in pairs. The upper inner sides of the walking vertical plates 3 are provided with walking wheels 13. The paired walking wheels 13 are located in the walking grooves on both sides of the monorail hoist track 2. The walking wheels serve the purpose of walking support for the walking frame.

[0023] As Figure 2 shown, the friction wheel and the columnar cleaning brush are provided with symmetrically arranged clamping devices. The clamping device includes a clamping plate 8 and a clamping drive. One end of the clamping plate is arranged on the walking frame 10 through a pin shaft, and the other end is connected to the clamping drive. The clamping drive drives the clamping plate to approach the inner sides of the walking grooves on both sides of the monorail hoist track 2. The friction wheel 5 and the columnar cleaning brush 7 are arranged on the clamping plate 8, and the friction wheel 5 is arranged in front during operation.

[0024] The outer side of the rear end of the walking frame 10 protrudes with a hinge plate and is hingedly connected to the clamping plate 8. The clamping plate 8 is provided with a mounting plate extending towards the walking grooves on both sides of the monorail hoist track 2. The rotating shaft of the columnar cleaning brush 7 is arranged on the mounting plate through a bearing mechanism.

[0025] Specifically, the axle 4 of the friction wheel 5 is arranged on the clamping plate 8 through a bearing. The clamping plate 8 is located below the friction wheel 5. The synchronous rotation drive mechanism is a synchronous belt mechanism. The driving wheel is arranged on the axle 4 of the friction wheel 5, the driven wheel is arranged on the rotating shaft of the columnar cleaning brush 7, and a synchronous belt is arranged between the driven wheel and the driving wheel.

[0026] The clamping drive is a linear actuator, and the two clamping plates 8 approach or move away from the running grooves on both sides of the single-rail crane track 2 simultaneously under the drive of the clamping drive. The linear actuator can be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, or it can also be a linear motor mechanism. When the linear actuator operates, the clamping plates on both sides clamp and approach the single-rail crane track synchronously.
