Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of track bed sand removal and cleaning devices, specifically a railway track bed sand removal and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] The railway ballast is a crucial component of railway lines. It primarily bears the weight of trains and the vibration and impact forces during operation, ensuring the stability and safety of the railway line. The ballast is usually composed of materials such as crushed stone and gravel, serving as a support and drainage system. However, over time and with changes in environmental conditions, the railway ballast can accumulate sand and dirt, leading to a reduction in its load-bearing capacity, limited drainage function, and even affecting the normal operation of trains.
[0003] Currently, railway track bed cleaning mostly relies on manual cleaning or some mechanical equipment. Manual cleaning is inefficient, labor-intensive, and does not guarantee cleaning results. Existing mechanical cleaning equipment is usually designed to be simple and lacks specific features for the complex environment of railway track beds, especially the serious harm caused to cleaning workers by the large amount of dust generated during railway track bed cleaning.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a railway track bed sand removal and cleaning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] This embodiment provides a railway track bed sand removal and cleaning device, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the cleaning device includes a vehicle body 1 and fixed arms 2 equidistantly installed at the lower end of the vehicle body 1. Each fixed arm 2 is provided with a rail wheel 3. A cleaning mechanism is provided on the vehicle body 1.
[0023] The cleaning mechanism includes a fixed frame 4 mounted on the vehicle body 1, a lifting frame 43 mounted on the fixed frame 4, a fixed seat 44 detachably connected to the lifting frame 43, a splash guard 45 fixedly mounted at the lower end of the fixed seat 44, a fixed housing 47 fixedly mounted at both ends of the splash guard 45, a servo motor 48 mounted on the fixed housing 47 at one end of the splash guard 45, a brush roller 46 rotatably connected inside the splash guard 45, soft brushes 461 distributed in a circular array on the outside of the brush roller 46, a central shaft fixedly mounted at the center of the brush roller 46, one end of the central shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 48, and a dust suppression component mounted on the splash guard 45.
[0024] Specifically, after the servo motor 48 is started, it can drive the brush roller 46 to rotate with the soft brush 461, thereby cleaning the railway track bed. A motor can be installed on the fixed arm 2 to drive the rail wheel 3 to move along the rail. The splash cover 45 is used to prevent small stones from splashing when the soft brush 461 on the brush roller 46 is rolling to clean the railway track bed, and to provide splash protection for the personnel following the equipment.
[0025] The fixed frame 4 has a sliding groove 49, the lifting frame 43 is slidably installed on the sliding groove 49, the fixed frame 4 is rotatably connected to the lead screw 42, the lifting frame 43 is threadedly sleeved with the lead screw 42, and the upper end of the lead screw 42 is fixedly installed with an adjusting wheel 41.
[0026] More specifically, the fixed base 44 installed on the splash guard 45 cooperates with the lead screw 42 through the lifting frame 43. When the adjusting wheel 41 rotates, the height of the splash guard 45 and the brush roller 46 can be adjusted. The height of the brush roller 46 can be adjusted to raise the position of the soft brush 461, thereby increasing the cleaning intensity of the equipment on the railway track bed.
[0027] Both ends of the lifting frame 43 are provided with round holes, and a limiting rod for interlocking with the round holes of the lifting frame 43 is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove 49.
[0028] Furthermore, the round holes at both ends of the lifting frame 43 are fitted with the limiting rods inside the slide groove 49, which can provide stability to the lifting frame 43 when the lead screw 42 rotates.
[0029] The dust suppression assembly includes a water tank 5 installed on the vehicle body 1, a water pump 52 installed on the vehicle body 1 between the water tank 5 and the fixing frame 4, and two sets of first water supply pipes 451 symmetrically installed on the splash guard 45. Several atomizing nozzles 453 are evenly distributed on the first water supply pipes 451.
[0030] It should be noted that by symmetrically arranging the first water supply pipe 451 on the splash guard 45 and cooperating with the atomizing nozzle 453 installed on the first water supply pipe 451, the dust generated on both sides of the splash guard 45 can be atomized and dust reduced, thus avoiding the generation of a large amount of dust that pollutes the surrounding air when the equipment cleans the railway track bed.
[0031] The vehicle body 1 is equipped with a water distribution pipe 53 for connecting to the output port of the water pump 52. The input end of the water pump 52 is equipped with a first drain pipe 51 for connecting to the water storage tank 5. The drain ports of the water distribution pipe 53 are all equipped with hoses 454. The two first water supply pipes 451 are connected through a second water supply pipe 452. The second water supply pipe 452 is connected to one end of the hose 454.
[0032] It is worth mentioning that the water pump 52 can discharge the clean water inside the water storage tank 5 into the water distribution pipe 53 through the first drain pipe 51, and then through the drain ports at both ends of the water distribution pipe 53 in conjunction with the hose 454 and the second water supply pipe 452 to the two sets of first water supply pipes 451. The hose 454 is made of synthetic rubber, which allows the splash cover 45 to be adjusted in height without restriction. Except for the hose 454, all other pipes are stainless steel pipes. The upper end of the water storage tank 5 is provided with an interface for external water supply.
[0033] In use, the car body 1 and the rail wheels 3 mounted on the fixed arm 2 cooperate to form a car body 1 that can move on the railway track bed. The splash guard 45 mounted on the fixed seat 44 and the brush roller 46 set on the splash guard 45 can drive the brush roller 46 with the soft brush 461 to rotate after the servo motor 48 is started, so as to clean the railway track bed. The motor can be installed on the fixed arm 2 to drive the rail wheels 3 to move along the rail. The splash guard 45 is used to prevent small stones from splashing when the soft brush 461 on the brush roller 46 rolls to clean the railway track bed, and to provide splash protection for the personnel following the equipment. While cleaning the railway track bed, the water pump 52 is started. Two first water supply pipes 451 and atomizing nozzles 453 are set on the splash guard 45 to form a three-dimensional arched dust suppression net, which effectively suppresses the spread of dust.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
