[0002] The operation mechanism of railway line ballast screen machine is mainly composed of excavating mechanism, screening mechanism and backfilling mechanism. The excavating mechanism excavates the ballast on the line and transports it to the screening mechanism for screening, and the unqualified ballast is removed. The backfilling mechanism distributes the screened ballast to the left and right sides of the rails according to the requirements of the line. The excavating mechanism is generally divided into left and right parts and located on both sides of the vehicle body. The left and right excavating mechanisms can operate independently. The up-down movement of the excavating mechanism can change the excavating depth, and the left-right movement of the excavating mechanism can change the excavating width. According to the super elevation of the line, the lateral drainage slope of the line and the different amount of ballast that needs to be screened, the requirements for excavating depth and width are also different. The excavating width and depth need to be changed dynamically in real time during operation. The currently used railway screen machine does not have a device for real-time measurement of excavating depth and width. The operator needs to estimate by naked eye observation or manually measure after excavating to obtain the excavating depth and width. The quality of the operation depends heavily on the experience and proficiency of the operator, and also increases the labor intensity of the operator. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can measure the excavating depth and width in real time. SUMMARY
