[0002] During long-term operation, rail transit trains are prone to adsorbing or attaching dust on the roadbed. The long-term accumulation of dirt will affect the operation of the undercarriage equipment and thus affect the safety of the train.

[0003] To address the problems of high labor intensity, low efficiency, and severe environmental pollution in the work area caused by manual cleaning operations, Chinese utility model patent CN221068017U discloses an intelligent cleaning and dust removal system for urban rail trains. This system provides a dust shield, two dust removal units, and two air curtain units on the vehicle-side cleaning and dust removal robot. The dust shield and air curtain units form a movable, relatively enclosed working area between the undercarriage cleaning robot and the vehicle-side cleaning and dust removal robot to prevent dust from escaping.

[0004] However, this solution has the following drawbacks:

[0005] First, the front and rear of the undercarriage purge system remain open, allowing dust to escape. Furthermore, the dust shield clearly does not fit neatly against the vehicle's body or the ground, and the air curtain units on both sides cannot prevent dust from escaping from above or below. Therefore, this solution's effectiveness in addressing workplace pollution needs further improvement.

[0006] Second, the dust removal unit is only installed on the vehicle side cleaning and dust removal robot. During the cleaning process, some of the falling dust will be deposited on the ground under the vehicle, causing ground environmental pollution. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In order to more clearly explain and illustrate the technical solution and implementation of the present invention, several preferred specific embodiments for implementing the technical solution of the present invention are introduced below.

[0032] It should be noted that the directional words such as "inside, outside", "front, back" and "left, right" in this article are expressed based on the product usage status. Obviously, the use of the corresponding directional words does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this scheme.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an undercarriage dust collection device 600 for a rail vehicle undercarriage cleaning system, comprising an undercarriage trolley chassis 610, which is mounted on and movable along the undercarriage tracks of the rail vehicle undercarriage cleaning system. An undercarriage air compressor assembly 620 is installed in the middle of the undercarriage trolley chassis 610, and undercarriage dust collection box assemblies 630 are installed on both sides of the undercarriage air compressor assembly 620 along the length of the undercarriage tracks.

[0034] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the undercar dust box assembly 630 includes an undercar dust box body 631, the interior of the undercar dust box body 631 is divided into a mutually isolated equipment chamber 6301, a dust removal chamber 6302 and an air curtain chamber 6303. Figure 5Filled in various linear forms. The air curtain chamber 6303 is located above the undercar dust box housing 631, while the equipment chamber 6301 and the dust removal chamber 6302 are arranged side by side at the bottom of the undercar dust box housing 631. The top surface of the undercar dust box housing 631 is spaced apart by an undercar dust suction port 634 and a strip-shaped air curtain port 635. The strip-shaped air curtain port 635 is located outside the undercar dust suction port 634, away from the undercar air compressor device 620. The undercar dust suction port 634 communicates with the dust removal chamber 6302, while the strip-shaped air curtain port 635 communicates with the air curtain chamber 6303.

[0035] The dust removal chamber 6302 is provided with a bottom air filter cartridge 633, and a plurality of bottom air filter cartridges 633 can be provided. A pull-out bottom dust collection drawer 636 is provided below the dust removal chamber 6302, and the bottom dust collection drawer 636 is slidably arranged on the bottom dust collection box body 631.

[0036] An undercarriage centrifugal fan 632 is housed within the equipment chamber 6301, with its air inlet communicating with the dust removal chamber 6302 and its air outlet communicating with the air curtain chamber 6303. Operation of the undercarriage centrifugal fan 632 creates a negative pressure in the dust removal chamber 6302, drawing dust that falls to the floor beneath the vehicle into the undercarriage dust collection box 631. The dust is then filtered through the undercarriage air filter cartridge 633, where it adheres to the filter element.

[0037] See also Figure 1 As shown, two undercarriage dust collection box assemblies 630, located on either side of the undercarriage air compressor assembly 620, form two undercarriage air curtains in the front-to-rear direction of the rail vehicle's undercarriage, creating two wind walls. This prevents dust that falls under the undercarriage from escaping from the front and rear, potentially polluting the working environment. Simultaneously, two undercarriage dust suction ports 634, located within the air curtains, draw dust within this area into the dust removal chamber 6302 for filtration and collection, preventing dust that falls under the undercarriage from settling on the ground and polluting the ground environment.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the undercarriage air compressor device 620 includes an undercarriage air compressor assembly 621 and an undercarriage air tank 622. The undercarriage air compressor assembly 621 generates high-pressure air, which is stored in the undercarriage air tank 622. Each undercarriage air filter cartridge 633 is provided with an undercarriage backflush nozzle 637 above it. The undercarriage backflush nozzle 637 is connected to the undercarriage air tank 622 and can use the high-pressure air stored in the undercarriage air tank 622 to backflush and clean the undercarriage air filter cartridge 633. The dust and dirt blown away by the backflush fall into the undercarriage dust collection drawer 636. When the dust and dirt in the undercarriage dust collection drawer 636 accumulates to a certain amount, the undercarriage dust collection drawer 636 can be pulled out and emptied.

[0039] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6A guide plate 638 is also provided in the dust removal chamber 6302. The guide plate 638 is located below the dust suction port 634 under the vehicle, and its lower end is inclined toward the equipment chamber 6301. In this way, the dust sucked in from the dust suction port 634 under the vehicle can be guided to the air filter cartridge 633 under the vehicle, thereby improving the filtration efficiency and preventing the dust from being deposited in the corners of the dust removal chamber 6302.

[0040] Based on the description of the above specific embodiments, the undercarriage dust collecting device of the undercarriage cleaning system of a railway vehicle provided by the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0041] First, the undercarriage dust box assembly is set in the ditch below the rail vehicle.

[0042] Second, an air curtain cavity is provided inside the dust collecting box body, which is connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan under the vehicle. A strip air curtain opening is provided on the top surface of the dust collecting box body, which can form two air curtains under the vehicle in the front and rear directions of the bottom of the rail vehicle, forming two wind walls to prevent the dust falling to the bottom of the vehicle from escaping from the front and rear and polluting the working environment.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the terms "comprise," "include," or any other variations thereof, as used herein, are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0044] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone should be aware of the structural changes made under the inspiration of the present invention.
