[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0030] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle body blowing system, including:
[0032] The blowing chamber 1 is used for the railway freight car body 8 to enter after shot blasting;
[0033] A degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism is disposed inside the purge chamber 1;
[0034] The blowing mechanism 3 is connected to the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism. The blowing mechanism 3 is used to blow a local area of the railway freight car body 8, so that after the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism drives the blowing mechanism 3 to move, the blowing mechanism 3 blows the entire body 8 of the railway freight car in sequence.
[0035] Understandably, after shot blasting, the railway freight car body 8 is pushed into the cleaning chamber 1. The degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism moves to one end of the railway freight car body 8, and then the cleaning mechanism 3 is activated. The cleaning mechanism 3 cleans a local area of the railway freight car body 8. After the cleaning mechanism 3 has finished cleaning the local area of the railway freight car body 8, the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism drives the cleaning mechanism 3 to move a specified distance to the other end of the car body 8, and the cleaning mechanism 3 cleans another local area of the railway freight car body 8. This process is repeated until the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism drives the cleaning mechanism 3 to clean the entire railway freight car body 8. In this technical solution, by pushing the railway freight car body 8 into the cleaning chamber 1 and moving the cleaning mechanism 3, the railway freight car body 8 is cleaned step by step, which improves the cleaning efficiency of the railway freight car body 8 and realizes the quantitative control of the cleaning quality.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a dust removal mechanism 4, which includes:
[0037] A dust collection device 41 is provided on the outside of the blowing chamber 1. The dust collection device 41 is used to absorb and collect the dust generated during blowing inside the blowing chamber 1.
[0038] The dust suction pipe 42 is connected at one end to the inlet end of the dust suction device 41 and at the other end to the blowing chamber 1.
[0039] It is understandable that dust will be generated when the body 8 of a railway freight car is swept. The dust generated during the sweeping operation will pose health and environmental risks. Therefore, a dust removal mechanism 4 is set up. The dust collection device 41 is connected to the interior of the sweeping chamber 1 through the dust collection pipe 42. After the dust collection device 41 is started, it will adsorb and collect the dust generated during the sweeping inside the sweeping chamber 1.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple branch pipes 43 are connected to the dust suction pipe 42. The multiple branch pipes 43 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the blowing chamber 1, and the branch pipes 43 are connected to the blowing chamber 1.
[0041] It is understandable that the multiple branch pipes 43 connected to the dust suction pipe 42 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the blowing chamber 1, which increases the connection range between the dust suction pipe 42 and the blowing chamber 1, so that when dust is generated at any location in the blowing chamber 1, the dust suction device 41 can be adsorbed and collected through the dust suction pipe 42 in conjunction with the branch pipes 43.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a control system 5, which is located on the outside of the blowing chamber 1. The control system 5 is communicatively connected to the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism, the blowing mechanism 3, and the dust removal mechanism 4.
[0043] Understandably, the control system 5 enables remote integrated control of the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism, the blowing mechanism 3, and the dust removal mechanism 4, thereby reducing the operational risks for staff.
[0044] like Figures 2-3 As shown, it also includes a vision device 6, which is mounted on the purging mechanism 3. The vision device 6 is communicatively connected to the control system 5. The vision device 6 is used to move with the purging mechanism 3 to identify the location and degree of dirt on the railway freight car body 8.
[0045] Understandably, when the purging mechanism 3 performs purging operations, the vision device 6 is activated simultaneously. The vision device 6 accurately identifies the location and degree of dirt on the railway freight car body 8 and feeds it back to the control system 5. This allows for a reduction in purging time and improved purging efficiency for areas with low levels of dirt, while increasing purging time and improved purging quality for areas with high levels of dirt.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism includes a three-axis truss 2, which is disposed on the top inner side of the purging chamber 1 and is connected to the purging mechanism 3.
[0047] It is understandable that the purging mechanism 3 is driven by the three-axis truss 2 to make multi-degree-of-freedom adjustments within the purging chamber 1, so as to move and adjust the purging mechanism 3 to various positions on the railway freight car body 8, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the purging mechanism 3 includes:
[0049] An industrial robot 31 is connected to the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism and is used to perform local range movement and adjustment within the purging chamber 1.
[0050] A purging device 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the industrial robot 31 and is used to purge the body 8 of a railway freight car.
[0051] Understandably, after the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism adjusts the movement, the purging device 32 is activated, and the industrial robot 31 drives the purging device 32 to perform local range movement adjustment within the purging chamber 1. The industrial robot 31 also adjusts the posture of the purging device 32 so that the purging end of the purging device 32 always corresponds to the car body 8 of the railway freight car. During the process of the industrial robot 31 performing local range movement adjustment, the purging device 32 purifies a local area of the car body 8 of the railway freight car.
[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the purging chamber 1 is equipped with an electric door 7, which is used to enclose the body 8 of the railway freight car inside the purging chamber 1. The electric door 7 is communicatively connected to the control system 5.
[0053] Understandably, after the railway freight car body 8 is pushed into the cleaning chamber 1, the control system 5 controls the electric gate 7 to close, enclosing the railway freight car body 8, the degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism, and the cleaning mechanism 3 inside the cleaning chamber 1, preventing dust generated during the cleaning operation from leaking outside the cleaning chamber 1. After the cleaning of the railway freight car body 8 is completed and the dust removal mechanism 4 absorbs and collects the dust generated during the cleaning operation, the control system 5 controls the electric gate 7 to open, and the railway freight car body 8 is pushed out.
[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0055] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
