DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.
[0026] As Figure 1 shown, the abrasive belt polishing unit of the embodiment of the utility model includes a rack 1 and a polishing mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a deflection mechanism 4 and a transverse moving mechanism 5 arranged on the rack 1, the rack 1 includes a connecting plate 11, two vertical supports 12 and two horizontal supports 13, the two ends of the connecting plate 11 are connected with the top of the two vertical supports 12 respectively, one end of the horizontal support 13 is hinged with the bottom of the vertical support 12 through a deflection shaft 14, the lifting mechanism 3 is connected with the polishing mechanism 2 to make the polishing mechanism 2 move along the vertical support 12, the deflection mechanism 4 makes the vertical support 12 rotate around the deflection shaft 14, the transverse moving mechanism 5 includes a first motor 51, a first rack 52 and a guide assembly 53 arranged on the horizontal support 13, the output end of the first motor 51 is provided with a first gear 54 engaged with the first rack 52, so that the horizontal support 13 can reciprocate along the guide assembly 53.
[0027] By adjusting the lifting mechanism 3 and the deflection mechanism 4, the height and the grinding angle of the grinding mechanism 2 can be adjusted. The first motor 51 in the transverse movement mechanism 5 drives the first gear 54 to rotate, so that the first gear 54 moves along the first rack 52, and the position of the grinding mechanism 2 is adjusted by the guide assembly 53, so that the grinding mechanism 2 is in good contact with the rail, and the grinding quality is ensured. Since the abrasive belt 25 is in flexible contact with the rail during grinding, the abrasive belt 25 has small grinding vibration, large contact area, and high grinding speed, and the thickness of the abrasive belt 25 changes little during grinding, so the grinding height is adjusted once and can be adjusted for a long time, reducing the labor intensity of the operator and improving the work efficiency. Since the abrasive belt 25 has small thickness and long circumference, heat is easily dissipated, and heat concentration effect is not easy to occur. The abrasive belt 25 has a single grinding direction, and the spark ejection direction is fixed, which is convenient for subsequent grinding dust collection.
[0028] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the guide assembly 53 includes a first sliding block 531, a first guide rail 532, and a fixed plate 533. The first guide rail 532 and the first rack 52 are both arranged on the fixed plate 533, and the first sliding block 531 is fixed to the bottom of the horizontal support 13 and is in sliding connection with the first guide rail 532. The abrasive belt grinding unit belongs to a part of the grinding car, and two fixed plates 533 are arranged in the embodiment. The fixed plate 533 is fixed to the frame (not shown in the figure) of the grinding car and cannot move. When the first gear 54 moves along the first rack 52, the two first sliding blocks 531 move along the first guide rail 532, thereby driving the rack 1 to move along the first guide rail 532 as a whole, so that the position of the grinding mechanism 2 is adjusted.
[0029] As shown in Figure 3 , the lifting mechanism 3 includes a second motor 31, a lead screw 32, a nut 33, a second sliding block 34, and a second guide rail 35. The second motor 31 is arranged on the connecting plate 11, the lead screw 32 is connected with the output end of the second motor 31, the nut 33 is arranged on the lead screw 32, the nut 33 and the second sliding block 34 are both connected with the grinding mechanism 2, the second sliding block 34 is arranged in sliding mode on the second guide rail 35, and the second guide rail 35 is arranged on the vertical support 12. When the second motor 31 drives the lead screw 32 to rotate, the nut 33 can move along the lead screw 32, thereby driving the grinding mechanism 2 to move up and down along the second guide rail 35 as a whole, so that the height of the grinding mechanism 2 is adjusted.
[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 3As shown, the grinding mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 21, a drive wheel 22, a tension wheel 23, a contact wheel 24, and a sanding belt 25. Both sides of the mounting plate 21 are connected to the second slider 34. A nut 33 is disposed on the surface of the mounting plate 21. The drive wheel 22, tension wheel 23, and contact wheel 24 are all disposed on one side of the mounting plate 21. The sanding belt 25 is disposed on the drive wheel 22, tension wheel 23, and contact wheel 24. The contact wheel 24 presses the sanding belt 25 against the surface of the rail to grind the rail. In this embodiment, the contact wheel 24 is an aluminum alloy hub covered with rubber. During grinding, since both the sanding belt 25 and the contact wheel 24 are elastic and variable bodies, they can achieve closer contact with the rail, resulting in a more detailed profile envelope. All other components of the grinding mechanism 2 are disposed on the mounting plate 21, so only the mounting plate 21 needs to be moved to adjust the entire grinding mechanism 2. A second slider 34 and a second guide rail 35 are provided on both sides of the mounting plate 21, so that the friction force when the grinding mechanism 2 moves is small and the load on the second motor 31 is small.
[0031] Furthermore, the mounting plate 21 is also equipped with a third motor 26, a first drive wheel 271, a second drive wheel 272, and a belt 28. The first drive wheel 271 and the second drive wheel 272 are located on the other side of the mounting plate 21, and the belt 28 is mounted on the first drive wheel 271 and the second drive wheel 272. The first drive wheel 271 is connected to the output end of the third motor 26, and the second drive wheel 272 is connected to the drive wheel 22. Positioning the first drive wheel 271 and the second drive wheel 272 on the other side of the mounting plate 21 makes full use of the space on the mounting plate 21, avoiding insufficient space caused by placing them on the same side. It also makes the weight distribution on both sides of the mounting plate 21 more balanced, resulting in better structural stability.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the tensioning wheel 23 is equipped with an adjustment assembly 29, which includes an adjustment bolt 291, an adjustment frame 292, a push plate 293, a spring 294, and an adjustment rod 295. The adjustment frame 292 is fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 21, and the adjustment rod 295 is slidably disposed inside the adjustment frame 292. The adjustment bolt 291 is threadedly connected to the adjustment frame 292, with one end of the adjustment bolt 291 located inside the adjustment frame 292 and abutting against the push plate 293. The spring 294 is disposed between the push plate 293 and the adjustment rod 295. When the adjustment bolt 291 is turned, it compresses or releases the spring 294, causing the push plate 293 to shift. The push plate 293 then drives the adjustment rod 295 to extend out of or retract from the adjustment frame 292, thereby changing the position of the tensioning wheel 23 and adjusting the tension of the sanding belt 25. The operation is very simple.
[0033] Further, the adjusting rod 295 is provided with a limiting protrusion 296 at one end connected with the spring 294, and the other end of the adjusting rod 295 is connected with the wheel shaft of the tensioning wheel 23. By arranging the limiting protrusion 296, the situation that the adjusting rod 295 is separated from the adjusting frame 292 can be avoided, and the reliability of the adjusting assembly 29 is improved.
[0034] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The deflection mechanism 4 comprises a fourth motor 41, a second gear 42, a second rack 43 and a fixed seat 44. The fourth motor 41 is arranged on the vertical support 12. The second gear 42 is connected with the output end of the fourth motor 41. The second rack 43 is an arc-shaped rack. The second rack 43 is arranged on the top of the fixed seat 44. The bottom of the fixed seat 44 is connected with the horizontal support 13. When the fourth motor 41 drives the second gear 42 to rotate, the second gear 42 will move along the arc-shaped second rack 43, and drive the vertical support 12 and the polishing mechanism 2 to rotate around the deflection shaft 14, so as to realize the adjustment of the polishing angle.
[0035] Further, the deflection mechanism 4 further comprises a speed reducer 45. The speed reducer 45 is arranged at the output end of the fourth motor 41. The second gear 42 is connected with the output end of the speed reducer 45. By arranging the speed reducer 45, the torque can be increased while the deflection speed is reduced, so as to reduce the requirement of the torque of the fourth motor 41, and realize more fine adjustment of the polishing angle. The speed reducer 45 in the embodiment adopts a worm and gear structure, which has a self-locking function. On the one hand, it can ensure that there is no vibration in the deflection direction during the polishing process. On the other hand, even if the fourth motor 41 loses power, the stability of the polishing mechanism 2 is ensured, and the safety is improved.
[0036] In the embodiment, the second rack 43 is arranged on the circumference with the deflection shaft 14 as the center, so that the polishing mechanism 2 can stably deflect around the deflection shaft 14.
[0037] Although the utility model has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, various improvements can be made and equivalent parts can be replaced without departing from the scope of the utility model. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any way. The utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the text, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
