Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in light of the specific circumstances.

[0031] The following will refer to the appendix. Figures 1 to 6 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0032] Overall, this utility model relates to an automatic device for cleaning coal accumulation on a train body, including a door-shaped mounting frame 1 and cleaning components symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 1, with the train located between the two cleaning components inside the mounting frame 1; the cleaning components include a vertical frame 2 mounted on the mounting frame 1, an inner groove 201 opened on the vertical frame 2, a long rod 302 set on the inner groove 201, a slot 3021 opened at the end of the long rod 302, a short rod 301 with its end hinged in the slot 3021 by a pivot 305, a torsion spring 306 fitted on the pivot 305, and a protective cover 3 fixedly mounted at the end of the short rod 301. A door-shaped fixing frame 4 is fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the protective cover 3, and a rotating rod 401 is rotatably mounted inside the fixing frame 4. Multiple brushes 402 are fixedly fixed at intervals on the outer circumference of the rotating rod 401.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is installed on both sides of the train track. The cleaning brackets on both sides can hold the train body in the middle and clean the coal dust and ash accumulated on the side walls of the train body.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the cleaning assembly, the mounting bracket 1 provides a mounting base for the cleaning components on both sides, the vertical frame 2 supports and fixes the long rod 302, and the fixing frame 4 is door-shaped and fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 3. It provides support and fixing points for the rotating rod 401. The brushes 402 are fixedly installed at intervals on the outer circumference of the rotating rod 401 to remove coal dust from the surface of the train body. When the train passes between the brushes 402 on both sides, the attached coal dust will be cleaned, saving manual operation and ensuring the normal operation of the train.

[0035] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective cover 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the short rod 301 to protect the internal mechanisms (such as the rotating rod 401 and the brush 402) from damage. It may also have the function of preventing coal dust from splashing and keeping the working environment clean.

[0036] It should be noted that, as Figure 6 As shown, torsion spring 306 is mounted on shaft 305 to provide the spring force for short rod 301 to return to its original position. When short rod 301 is rotated by an external force, torsion spring 306 is compressed or stretched; when the external force disappears, torsion spring 306 releases energy, causing short rod 301 to automatically return to its initial position. This helps maintain continuous contact between brush 402 and the train body surface and can also adapt to trains of different widths.

[0037] In practice, the train passes between the side walls of the brushes 402 on both sides, and the brushes 402 are made of soft material to ensure effective cleaning without damaging the train's surface. The cleaning assembly automatically adapts to different shapes and curves of the train body, and through the coordinated action of the long rods 302, short rods 301, and brushes 402, it effectively removes coal residue from the train's surface. This not only improves cleaning efficiency but also reduces the labor intensity and safety risks associated with manual cleaning.

[0038] As a preferred structure in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to further ensure the contact between the brush 402 and the train body, and to adapt to trains of different widths, in this embodiment, the long rod 302 is slidably connected on the vertical frame 2, and its end is fixedly provided with a limiting plate 303 on the inner side. A spring 304 is provided between the limiting plate 303 and the inner wall of the inner groove 201. One end of the spring 304 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 303, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove 201.

[0039] When the width of the train increases or the body has a steel frame structure with different concave and convex shapes, the brush 402 will be squeezed. When the torsion spring 306 can no longer meet the adjustment range, the spring 304 will be compressed to provide a buffer for the brush 402. The whole process allows the cleaning components to better adapt to the unevenness and curved shape of the train body surface, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] Based on the above settings, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning component is also equipped with a vacuuming component, which includes a first connecting pipe 5 and a vacuum cleaner 501. One end of the first connecting pipe 5 passes through the protective cover 3 and is connected to the fixed frame 4, and the other end is connected to the vacuum cleaner 501.

[0041] It should be further explained that the first connecting pipe 5 is a conduit, one end of which is connected to the fixed frame 4 inside the protective cover 3 (or more specifically, to the space inside the fixed frame 4 or the area around the rotating rod 401). When the brush 402 on the rotating rod 401 cleans the train body, the coal dust and debris it picks up can be sucked into this conduit. Additionally, the other end of the first connecting pipe 5 is connected to a vacuum cleaner 501, forming a complete vacuuming system, where the coal dust sucked into the first connecting pipe 5 enters the vacuum cleaner 501.

[0042] The powerful suction of the vacuum cleaner 501 is transmitted to the interior of the fixed frame 4 through this pipe, thereby effectively removing coal dust and debris from the surface of the train body. It should be understood that the specific structure of the vacuum cleaner 501 in this embodiment can refer to existing vacuum cleaners, which contain components such as a motor 403, a fan, and a dust collection box. When the motor 403 is started, the fan begins to rotate, generating a powerful suction that draws coal dust and debris from the first connecting pipe 5 into the dust collection box.

[0043] To prevent dust from flying around during cleaning and affecting the working environment, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning assembly also includes a dust suppression assembly, which comprises water storage boxes 6 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the protective cover 3. The water storage boxes 6 on both sides are connected by a second connecting pipe 601, and the second connecting pipe 601 is connected to a water storage container 604 through a third connecting pipe 603. Multiple nozzles 602 are provided on the side of the water storage box 6 corresponding to the train.

[0044] In this embodiment, the dust suppression component moistens coal dust and debris by releasing water mist, making them easier to remove. This not only improves cleaning efficiency but also reduces the dust and debris generated during the cleaning process, thereby improving the air quality of the working environment and the surrounding environment. Specifically, a water pump is installed inside the second connecting pipe 601. The pump pumps water through the water storage container 604 into the water storage boxes 6 on both sides, and then sprays it out through the nozzles 602.

[0045] In this embodiment, to further enhance the cleaning effect, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, one end of the rotating rod 401 extends from the fixed frame 4 to the outside of the protective cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 403. The motor 403 drives the rotating rod 401 to rotate, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the brush 402 on the train. In specific implementation, in order to prevent dust from affecting the operation of the motor 403, the motor 403 is fixedly mounted on the protective cover 3, and a shielding shell 404 is fixedly provided on the outside of the motor 403. It should be understood that the shielding shell 404 has a protective effect on the motor 403, and the power supply wire of the motor 403 passes through the shielding shell 404.

[0046] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, a base plate 101 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the mounting frame 1, and a vertical frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 101. It should be noted that the base plate 101 is part of the mounting frame 1; it is located at the bottom of the entire device and provides a stable support surface. In actual operation, the base plate 101 is made of steel to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the device and various external forces during long-term use.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
