[0028] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with all the drawings and specific embodiments. Example

[0029] This embodiment is a detachable ballast sweeper used for cleaning ballast in a railway track bed.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 A detachable ballast sweeper is self-powered and can travel on the track 8. It is used to arrange the ballast on the sleepers 9 and clean the ballast on the track 8. The ballast sweeper mainly includes a power mechanism 3 arranged along the direction of the track 8 and a main ballast sweeper located on one side of the power mechanism 3. The main ballast sweeper includes a first main ballast sweeper 1 and a second main ballast sweeper 2. The first main ballast sweeper 1 and the second main ballast sweeper 2 are detachably connected in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the track 8.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 A roller 5 is provided on one side of the main frame of the first main ballast sweeper 1, and the roller 5 can roll on the track 8. A first protective cover 13 is provided on the upper part of the main frame of the first main ballast sweeper 1. Both ends of the first main ballast sweeper 1 close to the second main ballast sweeper 2 are provided with a first connecting part 11, and the first connecting part 11 is provided with a groove connected to the second main ballast sweeper 2.

[0032] Similarly, a roller 5 is also provided on one side of the main frame of the second main sweeping ballast 2, and the roller 5 can roll on another track 8. A second protective cover 22 is provided on the upper part of the main frame of the second main sweeping ballast 2. The second main sweeping ballast 2 is provided with a second connecting part 21 at both ends of the side close to the first main sweeping ballast 1 corresponding to the first connecting part 11, and the second connecting part 21 is also provided with a groove accordingly.

[0033] The connecting member 6 is a long, rod-like structure, one end of which can be inserted into the groove of the first connecting portion 11 and the other end into the groove of the second connecting portion 21. The first connecting portion 11 has a first connecting hole 12 extending through the groove, and a corresponding insertion hole 61 at one end of the connecting rod. A pin passes through the first connecting hole 12 and the insertion hole 61, achieving a detachable connection between the first main ballast sweeper 1 and the connecting member 6. The second connecting portion 21 has a second connecting hole extending through the groove, and a corresponding insertion hole 61 at the other end of the connecting rod. A pin passes through the second connecting hole and the insertion hole 61, achieving a detachable connection between the second main ballast sweeper 2 and the connecting member 6. This achieves a detachable connection between the first and second main ballast sweepers 1 and 2.

[0034] In other embodiments, in order to facilitate the movement of the connecting rod so that the insertion hole 61 on the connecting rod and the first connecting hole 12 and the second connecting hole are aligned, a handle is provided on the connecting rod.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 The first main ballast sweeper 1 is provided with an integral frame, on which a first motor 14 is fixedly mounted, which is rotatably connected to a first main shaft 16. The axial direction of the first main shaft 16 is parallel to the axial direction of the roller 5. A first rubber hose 17 is provided on the first main shaft 16 in a direction perpendicular to the first main shaft 16. Three first rubber hoses 17 are provided in different circumferential directions at the same axial position of the first main shaft 16. The output end of the first motor 14 transmits power to the first main shaft 16 through a first transmission chain 15. When the ballast sweeper is in operation, the first motor 14 drives the first main shaft 16 to rotate. After the first main shaft 16 rotates one circle, three first rubber hoses 17 come into contact with the ballast.

[0036] Similarly, the second main ballast sweeper 2 comprises an integral frame, on which a second motor 24 is mounted, which is rotatably connected to a second spindle 26. The axial direction of the second spindle 26 is parallel to the axial direction of the roller 5. A second hose 27 is mounted on the second spindle 26 in a direction perpendicular to the second spindle 26. Three second hoses 27 are mounted in different circumferential directions at the same axial position of the second spindle 26. The output of the second motor 24 transmits power to the second spindle 26 via a second transmission chain 25. When the ballast sweeper is in operation, the second motor 24 drives the second spindle 26 to rotate. After the second spindle 26 rotates one full revolution, three second hoses 27 come into contact with the ballast.

[0037] The power mechanism 3 is provided with a main frame, on which a lithium battery 31 and a travel motor 32 are fixed, which is rotatably connected to a travel wheel 33 , and the output end of the travel motor 32 transmits power to the travel wheel 33 through a chain drive.

The first main ballast sweeper 1 and the second main ballast sweeper 2 are respectively fixed with a main ballast sweeper connection part 23, and the main ballast sweeper connection part 23 is provided with a groove. The power mechanism 3 is fixed with a power connection part 34 on the side close to the main ballast sweeper, and the power connection part 34 is provided with a groove corresponding to the main ballast sweeper connection part 23. One end of the connecting rod can be inserted into the groove of the main ballast sweeper connection part 23, and the other end can be inserted into the groove of the power connection part 34. The main ballast sweeper connection part 23 is provided with a main connection hole 231 through the groove, and the main connection hole 231 and the socket 61 are passed through the pin shaft to realize the detachable connection between the main ballast sweeper and the connecting rod; the power connection part 34 is provided with a power connection hole 341 through the groove, and the power mechanism 3 is detachably connected to the connecting rod through the pin shaft. In this way, the detachable connection between the main ballast sweeper and the power mechanism 3 is realized.
