[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locomotive parts cleaning system of one embodiment of the present invention comprises a cleaning room 1 and a transfer vehicle 2. An automatic door 11 is provided on one side of the cleaning room 1. The transfer vehicle 2 delivers the parts into or out of the cleaning room 1 through the automatic door 11. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a dry ice machine 3, a floor rail 4, a translation mechanism 5, a lifting mechanism 6, and a manipulator 7 are provided within a cleaning room 1. The floor rail 4 is disposed on the floor of the cleaning room 1, the translation mechanism 5 is disposed on the floor rail 4, the lifting mechanism 6 is disposed on the translation mechanism 5, and the manipulator 7 is disposed on the lifting mechanism 6. Dry ice produced by the dry ice machine 3 is delivered to the manipulator 7 via a delivery pipe 31. In this embodiment, two floor rails 4, two translation mechanisms 5, two lifting mechanisms 6, and two manipulators 7 are provided. The accessory to be cleaned is placed between the two floor rails 4, enabling simultaneous cleaning of both sides of the accessory, resulting in high cleaning efficiency.
[0026] The cleaning room 1 provides a relatively closed environment for cleaning accessories, which can effectively reduce the environmental and noise pollution of the surrounding environment caused by the cleaning operation. The transfer vehicle 2 can conveniently transport the accessories that need to be cleaned to or from the cleaning room 1 through the automatic door 11 on the cleaning room 1. The dry ice machine 3 can provide the manipulator 7 with the dry ice particles needed to clean the accessories, with good cleaning effect and no wastewater generation. The position of the manipulator 7 can be changed by the translation mechanism 5 and the lifting mechanism 6, so as to achieve cleaning of different parts of the accessories. The locomotive accessories cleaning system of this embodiment has a high degree of automation, can save water resources, and does not have the problem of drying the accessories after cleaning and the hidden danger of rust.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the manipulator 7 is equipped with a spray gun 8. The two ends of a delivery pipe 31 are connected to the spray gun 8 and the dry ice dispenser 3, respectively. Only the distal end of the delivery pipe 31 is shown in the figure. The spray gun 8 can be securely fixed to the manipulator 7. By changing the shape of the spray gun 8's nozzle, the dry ice particles can be sprayed in a specific pattern, achieving a better cleaning effect. In this embodiment, the nozzle of the spray gun 8 is elongated and flared, allowing the sprayed dry ice particles to be dispersed over a wide area.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a balance hanger 9 is installed at one end of the ground rail 4 near the dry ice machine 3. The delivery pipe 31 is mounted on this balance hanger 9. Because the manipulator 7 moves during operation, the delivery pipe 31 is a flexible tube. To prevent excessive bending and deformation of the delivery pipe 31 and to maintain its unobstructed flow, the balance hanger 9 is used to suspend the delivery pipe 31.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a first chute 41 is defined on the floor rail 4, and a translation mechanism 5 is disposed within the first chute 41. The translation mechanism 5 includes a sliding seat 51, a first motor 52 being disposed on the upper surface of the sliding seat 51, a gear 53 being disposed at the output end of the first motor 52, and the gear 53 being located on the lower surface of the sliding seat 51. A rack 54 is disposed on the floor rail 4 and meshes with the gear 53. When the first motor 52 drives the gear 53 to rotate, the gear 53 moves along the rack 54, causing the entire translation mechanism 5 to translate along the first chute 41, thereby changing the position of the translation mechanism 5 and, consequently, the positions of the lifting mechanism 6 and the manipulator 7 on the translation mechanism 5.
[0030] There are multiple connecting seats 42 on both sides of the floor rail 4, and multiple fixing seats 12 corresponding to the connecting seats 42 are provided on the floor of the cleaning room 1. The connecting seats 42 are connected to the fixing seats 12, so that the floor rail 4 is firmly fixed on the floor of the cleaning room 1.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the lifting mechanism 6 is disposed on the upper surface of the sliding base 51. The lifting mechanism 6 includes a bracket 61, a lifting platform 62, a second motor 63, and a screw 64. The second motor 63 is disposed on the top of the lifting frame, and the screw 64 is disposed at the output end of the second motor 63. The screw 64 is threadedly connected to the lifting platform 62. The manipulator 7 is disposed on the surface of the lifting platform 62. When the second motor 63 drives the screw 64 to rotate, the lifting platform 62, which is mounted on the screw 64, rises or falls, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting platform 62 and the manipulator 7.
[0032] Furthermore, a second chute 611 is provided on the bracket 61, and the second chute 611 is parallel to the screw rod 64. One side of the lifting platform 62 is set in the second chute 611. The second chute 611 plays a guiding and limiting role, which can reduce the load of the screw rod 64 and improve the stability of the lifting platform 62 when it is raised or lowered.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a locomotive parts cleaning system of one embodiment also includes a support frame 10, and a transfer vehicle 2 can carry the support frame 10. The support frame 10 is used to carry the accessories, and telescopic support legs 20 are provided on both sides of the support frame 10. After the transfer vehicle 2 transports the accessories to the cleaning room 1, in order to avoid contamination of the transfer vehicle 2 during the cleaning process, the transfer vehicle 2 needs to be driven out of the cleaning room 1. At this time, the telescopic support legs 20 on both sides of the support frame 10 will extend downward and contact the ground of the cleaning room 1, and the support frame 10 will be separated from the transfer vehicle 2, so that the transfer vehicle 2 can be driven out of the cleaning room 1. After cleaning is completed, the transfer vehicle 2 re-enters the cleaning room 1 and drives under the support frame 10. The telescopic support legs 20 are retracted, and the transfer vehicle 2 takes the cleaned accessories connected to the support frame 10 out of the cleaning room 1 together.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a safety door 13 is provided on one side of the cleaning room 1, and an indicator sign 14 is provided above the safety door 13. Unlike the automatic door 11 used for the entry and exit of the transfer vehicle 2, the safety door 13 is used for staff to enter and exit the cleaning room 1 in special circumstances, and the indicator sign 14 is used to indicate whether an operation is currently in progress.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning room 1 is provided with observation windows 15 on both sides, ventilation windows 16 are provided below the observation windows 15, and exhaust equipment 17 is provided on the top of the cleaning room 1. The staff can check the operating status of the equipment inside the cleaning room 1 through the observation windows 15. The ventilation windows 16 cooperate with the exhaust equipment 17 to replace the gas in the cleaning room 1, keeping the air inside the cleaning room 1 clean.
[0036] While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, the various technical features described in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner, provided no structural conflicts exist. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
