[0020] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the content.

[0021] As Figs. 1-2 shown, the cleaning device comprises a wheel 1, a straight pole 2, a shovel plough 3, and a self-cleaning mechanism 4. The wheel 1 is of a train wheel structure, the straight poles 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of the wheel 1, the straight poles 2 on both sides of the wheel 1 are parallel to each other, the shovel plough 3 is installed at the bottom end of the straight pole 2, the handle 5 is installed at the top end of the straight pole 2, and the self-cleaning mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on the straight pole 2 and cleans the wheel 1.

[0022] When cleaning the railway track, the cleaner holds the handles 5 on both sides of the wheel 1 with both hands and pushes the wheel 1 to travel on the track. Since the structure of the wheel 1 is consistent with that of a train wheel, the wheel 1 travels on the track in the same way as a train wheel. Under the pushing of the cleaner, the wheel 1 travels along the track, and at the same time, the shovel plough 3 is in a low position and located on both sides of the track during the process in which the cleaner pushes the wheel 1 to travel. In this way, the shovel plough 3 can push the materials accumulated on both sides of the track away from the track and can also scrape off the materials adhered to both sides of the track to some extent, so that the track is cleaned during the process in which the cleaner pushes the cleaning device, which is beneficial to reducing the physical exertion of the cleaner and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0023] During the process in which the cleaner pushes the cleaning device to clean the track, the self-cleaning mechanism 4 can clean part of the materials adhered to the wheel 1 to keep the wheel 1 relatively clean and travel more smoothly on the track.

[0024] A plurality of bolt holes are formed in the surface of the shovel plough 3 in contact with the straight pole 2 in the horizontal direction, and the shovel plough 3 is connected to the bottom end of the straight pole 2 through bolts.

[0025] Since the position of the straight pole 2 is fixed, the interval between the shovel ploughs 3 on both sides of the wheel 1 is different after the shovel plough 3 and the straight pole 2 are connected by rotating the bolts in different bolt holes on the shovel plough 3. During the cleaning process, the track is located between the shovel ploughs 3 on both sides of the wheel 1. Therefore, the interval between the shovel ploughs 3 on both sides of the wheel 1 can be adjusted by selecting different bolt holes on the shovel plough 3, so that the shovel plough 3 is more closely attached to the track, which facilitates the scraping off of the materials adhered to the track during the cleaning process and also reduces the gap between the shovel plough 3 and the track, so that the cleaning work is more thorough.

[0026] The self-cleaning mechanism 4 comprises a positioning plate 401, a screw rod 402, a guide rod 403, a cleaning shovel 404, and a hopper 405. The positioning plate 401 is fixedly sleeved on the straight rod 2, and a through hole and a screw hole are formed in the positioning plate 401. The screw rod 402 is threadedly connected with the positioning plate 401 through the screw hole, and one end of the screw rod 402 is rotationally connected with the cleaning shovel 404. The guide rod 403 is slidingly connected with the positioning plate 401 through the through hole, and one end of the guide rod 403 is fixedly connected with the cleaning shovel 404. The cleaning shovel 404 is located in a space between the positioning plate 401 and the wheel 1. The hopper 405 is fixedly installed on the positioning plate 401 through a connecting rod 406, and the hopper 405 is located below the cleaning shovel 404.

[0027] Before starting the cleaning work, the cleaning personnel can move the screw rod 402 relative to the positioning plate 401 by twisting the screw rod 402, so that the screw rod 402 drives the cleaning shovel 404 to move towards the wheel 1. When the cleaning shovel 404 is in contact with the wheel 1 and slightly abuts against the wheel 1, the worker pushes the cleaning device during travel. If sundries are adhered to the inner concave surface of the wheel 1, they will be scraped off by the cleaning shovel 404 and then fall into the hopper 405, so that the inner concave surface of the wheel 1 is kept clean, and the inner concave surface of the wheel 1 is kept in good contact with the track plane, thereby keeping the wheel 1 moving stably. The guide rod 403 can limit the cleaning shovel 404 from rotating randomly during the work, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning shovel 404 on the wheel 1.

[0028] The connecting rod 406 and the hopper 405, and the connecting rod 406 and the positioning plate 401 can be connected in a clamping manner, so as to facilitate the removal of the hopper 405 for dumping.

[0029] The screw rod 402 is arranged in the radial direction of the wheel 1. The cleaning shovel 404 and the cleaning surface can be kept in a vertical state, so that the cleaning shovel 404 has the best scraping and cleaning effect.

[0030] The straight rod 2 has a telescopic structure, the end of the fixed section of the straight rod 2 is a bottom end, and the end of the telescopic section is a top end. The connecting point of the wheel 1 and the straight rod 2 is located on the fixed section of the straight rod 2. The self-cleaning mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on the fixed section of the straight rod 2.

[0031] The cleaning personnel can adjust the telescopic length of the straight rod 2 according to their own height, so as to change the overall length of the straight rod 2, so that the cleaning device can meet the use requirements of different cleaning personnel, and improve the applicability of the cleaning device.

[0032] The utility model discloses a working process: before using the cleaning device to carry out track cleaning work, the cleaning personnel first telescopic adjustment is carried out to straight pole, and the total length of straight pole is adjusted to be appropriate, and then according to the track width of waiting for cleaning selection suitable screw hole installs spade plough on straight pole, and turns screw rod, makes cleaning spade contact wheel, and cleaning spade can be properly resisted wheel, and in the adjustment process, the cleaning personnel can push wheel to feel whether the cleaning spade has produced too big obstruction to wheel rotation, if the cleaning spade has produced too big obstruction to wheel, the cleaning personnel cannot push wheel better, then turns screw rod, adjusts cleaning spade position, reduces the degree of cleaning spade resistance wheel, so that the cleaning personnel can push wheel more easily, after adjusting, the cleaning personnel holds handle, and pushes wheel and advances on track, and spade plough pushes away the material of track both sides, realizes the cleaning work to track, and if the wheel appears adhering sundries, then in the wheel advancing process, sundries is scraped down and falls into hopper in cleaning spade, and the cleaning personnel pushes the cleaning device from track cleaning starting point position to cleaning terminal position, that is, completes a cleaning work.

[0033] Finally, it is pointed out that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model and not to limit, although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, but those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to its form and details without departing from the range defined by the utility model claims.
