Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway track inspection and maintenance, specifically to a railway overweight ballast detection device. Background Technology

[0002] As a vital national infrastructure and a major artery of the national economy, railways occupy a backbone position in the construction of the national comprehensive transportation system. The maintenance and repair of railway lines are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of railways.

[0003] Adding ballast is a crucial aspect of railway maintenance. Its purpose is to maintain the overall structural strength of the track, prevent track bulging due to ballast shortages, and ensure safe and stable train operation. However, adding ballast that results in track bed dimensions exceeding limits can severely impact train safety and may even lead to serious accidents such as derailments. Therefore, ensuring that track bed dimensions are within the prescribed range is of paramount importance for guaranteeing safe train operation.

[0004] Currently, the inspection of oversized ballast on railways relies primarily on manual labor, which has several drawbacks. First, the workload is enormous. Railway lines are long, and the number of ballast stones is vast; manually inspecting and organizing each stone requires significant manpower and time. Second, the accuracy of manual inspection is difficult to guarantee. Due to the large quantity of ballast, inspectors are prone to fatigue and oversight during long working hours, resulting in some oversized ballast stones going undetected. Third, the efficiency of manual ballast organization is low, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid railway line maintenance and large-scale operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and fill the technological gap in the detection of excess ballast in railways. It provides a compact, high-accuracy railway ballast detection device capable of real-time processing of excess ballast, addressing the issues of low efficiency and poor accuracy in existing railway ballast detection methods. This reduces labor costs and improves railway maintenance efficiency.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model discloses a railway oversized ballast detection device, comprising a detection rod and a fixed bracket. The detection rod has a detection arm at its upper part and a fixed base at its bottom. The fixed base has a fixed side plate at its bottom end, a locking screw on the outer side of its top end, and an adjusting screw on the inner side of its top end. The fixed bracket has a fixed groove at its upper part and a limiting plate at its bottom. A through screw is located in the middle of the limiting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the detection rod and the fixed bracket can be tightly engaged together and installed on an existing track inspection instrument to conduct railway ballast over-limit detection on the line.

[0009] Furthermore, the dimensions and bending angle of the detection arm are designed according to the cross-sectional dimensions of the railway track bed.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking screw can securely connect the detection rod to the fixed bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting screw can detect ballast with different cross-sectional dimensions by rotating it by different lengths.

[0012] Furthermore, the insert screw can securely connect the fixed part to the track inspection instrument.

[0013] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Based on different railway lines, rapid adjustments can be made to quickly detect oversized ballast, significantly improving detection speed compared to manual inspection. Through a rational structural design and precise detection mechanism, the accuracy and reliability of detection are enhanced. Manual intervention is reduced, labor intensity is lowered, and the level of automation in inspection is increased. Precise detection helps prevent traffic safety accidents caused by oversized ballast. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a railway oversized ballast detection device, including a detection rod 1 and a fixed bracket 2. A detection arm 3 is provided at the upper part of the detection rod 1 for direct contact with the ballast in the track bed to detect whether its dimensions exceed the limits. A fixed seat 6 is provided at the bottom of the detection rod 1, and a fixed side plate is provided at the bottom end of the fixed seat 6 to fix the entire device and ensure its stability. A locking screw 4 is provided on the outer side of the top of the fixed seat 6 to securely connect the detection rod 1 and the fixed bracket 2 together.
