Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for mobile track devices, in particular to a gravity track sweeper. Background Art
[0002] Track sweepers, as the name suggests, are devices that clean tracks. They are often used to clean the tracks of mobile equipment such as cranes and cranes. Positioned on both sides of the lower crossbeam, they ensure track cleaning in both forward and reverse directions. By sweeping away debris, they keep the tracks clean and smooth, reducing impact loads on the wheels during operation and ensuring the stability and reliability of mobile equipment such as cranes and cranes. Furthermore, if a large obstacle ahead could cause a collision, the track sweeper can provide an early warning, ensuring the financial safety of mobile track equipment.
[0003] In traditional application environments, the wheels do not have high requirements for track cleanliness, so traditional track sweepers do not need to touch the track and only need to be able to clean up large pieces of garbage. However, as the amount of engineering work increases, the requirements for track service life are also getting higher and higher, especially for some harsh environments with strong winds and sand and many fine particles. There may be a large amount of granular debris on the track. Since traditional track sweepers do not touch the track, they cannot effectively clean granular debris such as sand and dust, and are therefore no longer applicable. The existing technology also uses structures such as wire ropes, steel brushes, and scrapers fixed to brackets to act as track sweepers, but they need to be checked for wear frequently, and the friction between steel and steel will also greatly affect the service life of the track. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gravity track sweeper to solve the problem that the track sweepers in the prior art do not clean the track thoroughly and cannot meet the needs of extending the service life of the track and thoroughly cleaning the particles and dust on the track in scenarios with strong wind and sand and a large number of fine particles.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:
[0006] A gravity track sweeper, comprising:
[0007] The top plate is arranged horizontally, and one end of the top plate is connected to the front end of the support member of the mobile trolley;
[0008] longitudinal plates, connected to the lower surface of the top plate;
[0009] The mounting cylinder is vertically arranged and has a rectangular cross section, with one edge facing the direction of travel of the mobile trolley, and the edge opposite to the edge is fixedly connected to the front end surface of the longitudinal plate;
[0010] a first reinforcing plate, disposed between the mounting tube and the front end surface of the longitudinal plate;
[0011] The PE gravity slider slides vertically into the installation cylinder.
[0012] In particular, it also includes a mounting screw hole and a locking bolt that pass through the mounting tube horizontally. The locking bolt is used to lock the PE gravity slider after passing through the mounting screw hole.
[0013] In particular, it further includes a second reinforcing plate disposed between the top plate and the longitudinal plate, wherein the second reinforcing plate is triangular in shape.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a purge pipe arranged on the rear end surface of the longitudinal plate, the top of the purge pipe is connected to the air pump, and the bottom faces the lower track.
[0015] In particular, it also includes a distance sensor arranged on the top of any side wall of the installation tube, and a target is provided on the top of the side wall of the installation tube opposite to the side wall where the distance sensor is located; it also includes a controller electrically connected to the distance sensor, and the controller is electrically connected to the sound and light alarm.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: By installing a PE gravity slider within the mounting tube for track surface cleaning, it avoids damage to the track caused by structures such as wire brushes. The PE gravity slider, through its own weight, adheres closely to the track tread, maintaining contact with the track and effectively removing track debris. Furthermore, by oriented the prism forward, the PE gravity slider can push away fine sand debris at its corners, forcing the cleaned fine sand debris down the track along the edge of the PE gravity slider, effectively reducing forward resistance.

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, so as to have a further understanding of the concept of the present invention, the technical problems solved, the technical features constituting the technical solutions and the technical effects brought about.
[0021] like Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, a gravity track sweeper comprises:
[0022] The top plate 1 is arranged horizontally, and one end of the top plate is connected to the front end of the support member 2 of the mobile trolley;
[0023] A longitudinal plate 3 connected to the lower surface of the top plate 1;
[0024] The mounting cylinder 4 is vertically arranged and has a rectangular cross section, with one edge facing the direction of travel of the mobile trolley, and the edge opposite to the edge is fixedly connected to the front end surface of the longitudinal plate 3;
[0025] The first reinforcing plate 5 is provided between the mounting tube 4 and the front end surface of the longitudinal plate 3;
[0026] The PE gravity slider 7 is vertically slidably inserted into the installation cylinder 4 .
[0027] In the present invention, the top plate 1 is a welded component that is fixedly connected to the front end of the support member 2 of the mobile trolley by welding, thereby providing support for the device of the present invention and providing an installation position for the mounting cylinder 4 at the front end of the wheel of the mobile trolley. It should be noted that the mobile trolley here refers to the bottom displacement component of mobile equipment such as cranes and cranes, and does not specifically refer to a specific trolley structure. The mounting cylinder 4 is an overall hollow structure used to accommodate the PE gravity slider 7; the mounting cylinder 4 is fixed to the longitudinal plate 3, and the mounting cylinder 4 is welded to the front end surface of the longitudinal plate 3 with any vertical edge as the connection position. The internal space size of the mounting cylinder 4 is slightly larger than the external size of the PE gravity slider 7, thereby ensuring that the PE gravity slider 7 can slide freely in the vertical direction within the mounting cylinder 4 under the action of gravity. Installing in this way can effectively reduce resistance during travel. Compared with the push plate, it can also better push away fine sand debris, thereby discharging it to the sides, ensuring cleaning cleanliness and cleaning efficiency. At the same time, cleaning the track through the PE gravity slider 7 can ensure that the PE gravity slider 7 always fits the track during the sliding process, so there is no need to frequently detect the wear of the track sweeper slider, reducing labor intensity and inspection frequency.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, it also includes a mounting screw hole 6 and a locking bolt that horizontally penetrate the mounting tube 4. The locking bolt is used to lock the PE gravity slider 7 after penetrating the mounting screw hole 6.
[0029] In this embodiment, by setting a locking bolt, when there is no need to clean the track, the position of the PE gravity slider 7 can be raised, and the locking bolt can be used to penetrate the mounting screw hole 6 and tighten the PE gravity slider 7, thereby fixing the height of the PE gravity slider 7 and avoiding additional wear of the PE gravity slider 7.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment, it further includes a second reinforcing plate 8 provided between the top plate 1 and the longitudinal plate 3, wherein the second reinforcing plate is in an 8-triangle shape.
[0031] In this embodiment, a second reinforcing plate 8 is provided between the top plate 1 and the longitudinal plate 3 to increase the connection strength between the top plate 1 and the longitudinal plate 3, while preventing the longitudinal plate 3 from tilting under the influence of the force between the PE gravity slider 7 and the track, thereby effectively enhancing the overall stability of the device of the present invention.
[0032] As a further embodiment, it further comprises a purge pipe 9 provided on the rear end surface of the longitudinal plate 3 , wherein the top of the purge pipe 9 is connected to the air pump and the bottom faces the lower track.
[0033] In this embodiment, a purge pipe 9 connected to an air pump is provided, and the air pump and the purge pipe are used to purge the track surface before the wheels of the mobile trolley pass by, thereby performing a secondary cleaning of the track cleaned by the mounting cylinder 4 and the PE gravity slider 7, and blowing off the fine sand debris remaining on the track surface, further ensuring the cleanliness of the track surface.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment, it also includes a distance sensor arranged on the top of any side wall of the installation tube 4, and a target is provided on the top of the side wall of the installation tube 4 opposite to the side wall where the distance sensor is located; it also includes a controller electrically connected to the distance sensor, and the controller is electrically connected to the sound and light alarm.
[0035] In this embodiment, a structure for detecting the wear of the PE gravity slider 7 is provided. Specifically, under normal circumstances, when the top length of the PE gravity slider 7 is sufficient, it will block the detection between the distance sensor and the target. When the PE gravity slider 7 is worn to a certain extent, the top height is lower than the height of the mounting tube 4. At this time, there is no longer any obstruction between the distance sensor and the target, and the data detected by the distance sensor changes. The data change is fed back to the controller, and the controller controls the sound and light alarm to issue a sound and light warning, thereby notifying the construction personnel to replace the PE gravity slider 7 in time. The controller here can be a single-chip microcomputer controller. Since single-chip microcomputer controllers are very mature existing technologies, their specific circuit connections are not described in detail here.
[0036] The words "connection" and "fixation" appearing in the description of the present invention may refer to fixed connection, processing and forming, welding, or mechanical connection. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention shall be understood according to the specific circumstances.
