DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0024] Embodiment 1: please refer to Figs. 1-6 A portable railway sleeper cleaning device, comprising a mounting bracket 3, the top of the mounting bracket 3 is hingedly connected with a hydraulic telescopic rod 5, the bottom of the mounting bracket 3 is hingedly connected with a pair of parallel rods 4, the ends of the pair of parallel rods 4 away from the mounting bracket 3 are respectively hingedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the right side wall of a mounting base 6, one end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 5 installed on the mounting bracket 3 is hingedly connected to the top of the mounting base 6, the middle of the right side wall of the mounting base 6 is provided with an outwardly protruding connecting seat 7, the connecting seat 7 is fixedly connected with a strip rod 9, the strip rod 9 is parallel to the railway sleeper 1, a row of flexible cleaning rods 10 vertically downward extending are fixedly installed on the strip rod 9, and the lower end of the flexible cleaning rod 10 is close to the surface of the railway sleeper 1.

[0025] The left side wall of the mounting base 6 is provided with a shaft seat 8, the wheel shaft 15 is rotatably installed on the shaft seat 8, the guide wheels 16 are installed on the front and rear ends of the wheel shaft 15, and the guide wheels 16 are placed on the rail 2.

[0026] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0027] The mounting bracket 3 is firmly installed at a proper position of the tail of the inspection vehicle by a fixed manner, ensuring that the whole device remains stable during the driving of the inspection vehicle. One end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 5 is hinged to the mounting bracket 3, and the other end is hinged to the top of the mounting base 6. By operating the extension or shortening of the hydraulic telescopic rod 5, the lifting movement of the mounting base 6 and all components thereon, including the parallel rod 4, the connecting seat 7, the strip-shaped rod 9 and the flexible cleaning rod 10, relative to the mounting bracket 3 can be controlled. One end of the parallel rod 4 is hinged to the bottom of the mounting bracket 3, and the other end is hinged to the right side wall of the mounting base 6 at the upper and lower ends. When the hydraulic telescopic rod 5 is operated to lift, the parallel rod 4 plays a stabilizing role, ensuring that the mounting base 6 does not deflect or tilt during the lifting process, so that the flexible cleaning rod 10 maintains stable contact with the surface of the railway sleeper. When the hydraulic telescopic rod 5 is extended to the longest, the guide wheel 16 contacts the rail 2, playing a guiding and supporting role. The design of the guide wheel 16 enables the device to smoothly follow the movement of the rail during the driving of the inspection vehicle; the lower end of the flexible cleaning rod 10 also approaches the surface of the railway sleeper 1; as the inspection vehicle drives, the flexible cleaning rod 10 continuously and uniformly cleans the debris, soil, leaves and other impurities on the surface of the sleeper.

[0028] The present embodiment automatically moves with the inspection vehicle without manual intervention, greatly improving the cleaning efficiency. The design of the flexible cleaning rod 10 ensures the cleanliness of the surface of the sleeper while avoiding damage that may be caused by traditional cleaning methods. The design of the parallel rod 4 ensures that the device remains stable during lifting, avoiding deflection or tilting, which ensures that the flexible cleaning rod 10 always maintains close contact with the surface of the sleeper, improving the cleaning effect. The present embodiment has a simple structure, fewer components, and is easy to disassemble and maintain; the flexible cleaning rod 10 as a consumable part is easy to replace, reducing maintenance costs.

[0029] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figs. 5-6 A portable railway sleeper cleaning device, which is different from embodiment 1 in that the strip-shaped rod 9 is made of a channel steel.

[0030] The flexible cleaning rod 10 is made of a rubber tube.

[0031] The strip-shaped rod 9 is uniformly provided with mounting holes 13, the top of the flexible cleaning rod 10 is provided with a limiting seat 11, a threaded hole 12 is arranged above the limiting seat 11, the threaded hole 12 passes through the mounting hole 13 and is threadedly connected with a nut 14, and the nut 14 and the limiting seat 11 are respectively pressed on the upper and lower sides of the mounting hole 13.

[0032] The flexible cleaning rod 10 is made of rubber tube, which has good flexibility and wear resistance, and can effectively remove sundries without damaging the surface of the sleeper. The top of the flexible cleaning rod 10 is provided with a limiting seat 11, which prevents the flexible cleaning rod 10 from being excessively inserted into the mounting hole 13 of the strip-shaped rod 9 during installation, and also provides support for the threaded mouth 12. During installation, the threaded mouth 12 of the flexible cleaning rod 10 is passed through the mounting hole 13 of the strip-shaped rod 9, and then the nut 14 is screwed. The nut 14 is matched with the threads of the threaded mouth 12, and the flexible cleaning rod 10 is firmly fixed on the strip-shaped rod 9. The connection mode of the embodiment is simple and easy to operate, and the installation and disassembly can be completed without complex tools or equipment.
