Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material removal technology, and relates to a device for removing materials adhering to the work surface, particularly a device for removing materials adhering to the top of a train car side during unloading operations. Background Technology
[0002] The tipping unloader is the main equipment for unloading bulk materials from open wagons on railways. It is widely used in metallurgy, coal, heat, port transportation and other fields. During the unloading operation, the unloader flips the entire wagon over and pours the bulk materials into the unloading hopper. Then, the bulk materials are transported to the stacking equipment by a belt conveyor and stored in the stockyard to complete the entire unloading process.
[0003] During the unloading operation of the unloading machine, a certain amount of dust suppression water needs to be added to suppress dust according to the environmental protection requirements of the on-site operation. The combination of dust suppression water and loose material makes it very easy for material to adhere to the top of the train car side. After leaving the unloading machine, the material adhering to the top of the car side falls into the track center and on both sides of the track with the vibration of the car. This not only pollutes the surrounding environment, but also the material particles on the track can seriously affect the normal passage of the car. In severe cases, there is a risk of the car derailing. Moreover, the fallen material along the way is relatively scattered, which increases the workload of cleaning up the material and the amount of personnel required for cleaning up the material.
[0004] If too much material adheres to the top of the train car side, it may cause false alarms in the railway monitoring system that detects the extension status of the support rods, misleading the normal work of the railway department and affecting the efficiency of unloading operations.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0023] An innovative device for removing adhering materials from the top of a train car side during unloading operations includes a mounting frame 14, an adhering material removal mechanism 3, a drive mechanism, a support rod 11, and a rotating roller 5. The support rod is mounted on the mounting frame, and a rotating roller extending from the top of the mounting frame is rotatably mounted on the top of the support rod. The adhering material removal mechanism is connected to the inner end of the rotating roller via a connecting rod 4, which is welded to the rotating roller. The drive mechanism is located at the outer end of the rotating roller. A receiving pool 16 is also included, positioned on the ground directly below the adhering material removal mechanism on the outer side of the car side 2. The material 15 removed by the adhering material removal mechanism falls into the receiving pool on the ground for centralized cleaning, effectively preventing the removed material from falling into the car body 1 and requiring secondary cleaning. The connecting rod is inclined at 45° in the horizontal direction of the rotating roller, and this angled design ensures that the adhering material from the top of the train car side falls at an angle into the receiving pool outside the car body.
[0024] The mounting frame is a frame welded from steel profiles. Inside the frame, there are two layers of spaced shelves. A support rod is vertically installed on the upper shelf, and a drive mechanism connected to the rotating roller is installed on the lower shelf.
[0025] The aforementioned adhesive material removal mechanism includes a mounting top plate 20, a tension adjusting spring 23, a mounting base plate 21, and a cleaning scraper 22. Both the mounting top plate and the mounting base plate are angle steel structures. The mounting top plate, connecting rod, and mounting base plate are connected from top to bottom by evenly spaced bolts 19. In this embodiment, there are three bolts. Tension adjusting springs are installed on the three bolts between the connecting rod and the mounting base plate. Nuts 17 are installed on the bolts extending from the mounting top plate. The cleaning scraper is installed on the vertical part of the angle steel structure mounting base plate. By adjusting the position of the nuts on the bolts, the tension of the tension adjusting springs is adjusted, thereby achieving the clamping force between the cleaning scraper and the side of the train. During operation, the cleaning scraper adheres tightly to the top of the train side, effectively removing the adhesive material.
[0026] The drive mechanism includes an electric push rod 13, a first connecting rod 8, and a second connecting rod 6. The electric push rod is mounted on the lower shelf of the mounting frame. The second connecting rod is hinged to the push rod of the electric push rod. The first connecting rod is hinged to the second connecting rod via a hinge shaft 18. The first connecting rod is connected to the rotating roller and is perpendicular to the roller surface of the rotating roller. The electric push rod drives the first connecting rod to move, which in turn drives the second connecting rod to rotate. The second connecting rod drives the rotating roller to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod to move, which in turn causes the adhesive material removal mechanism to move, so as to realize the lowering and raising (i.e., opening and closing) of the adhesive material removal mechanism.
[0027] It also includes a device open limit switch 12, a device close limit switch 10, and a rocker plate 9. A rocker plate is installed on the top of the push rod of the electric push rod, and a device close limit switch and a device open limit switch are arranged vertically at intervals on the support rod.
[0028] When the electric push rod extends, the limit sway plate welded to its head swings to the device opening limit, the limit switch is activated, the electric push rod stops running, and the material clearing device is in the correct position.
[0029] When the electric push rod retracts, the limit sway plate welded to its head swings to the device's closing limit, the limit switch activates, the electric push rod stops running, and the material clearing device is closed in place.
[0030] It also includes an electric push rod overtravel stop 7, which is installed on the mounting bracket at a position opposite to the electric push rod, facing downwards, so that the electric push rod will no longer extend, thus providing corresponding protection for the entire device.
[0031] This unloading operation material removal device is installed outside the train track at the unloading machine exit. It automatically removes the material adhering to the top of the train car sides after the unloading operation and guides the removed material into a designated receiving pool. While improving the material removal efficiency, it effectively avoids environmental pollution caused by material falling onto the track center and sides, as well as situations that may affect the normal passage of trains or cause derailment. At the same time, it greatly reduces the frequency of false alarms triggered by the railway department's support rod monitoring system due to material adhering to the car sides, making the railway system operate more smoothly and improving the efficiency of unloading operations to a certain extent.
[0032] Although embodiments and drawings of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will understand that various substitutions, variations and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
