Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tamping device technology, and in particular to a three-pillow tamping device. Background Technology
[0002] The tamping device is a core piece of equipment in railway track maintenance, primarily used to enhance track stability. Its working principle involves using vibration, impact, or pressure to rearrange and compact the ballast at the bottom of the sleepers, thereby improving the track's load-bearing capacity and smoothness. Because the tamping device operates under constant vibration and impact conditions, its sealing performance directly affects its service life and operational accuracy.
[0003] Existing seals, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN115539639A, a novel sealing method for the arm of a tamping device, use a skeleton oil seal for sealing. Due to the size of the skeleton oil seal, the contact surface between the spacer and the skeleton oil seal needs to be made wider. This requires the spacer and the copper sleeve to be installed with a step fit, which not only increases the processing difficulty but also increases the cost. Moreover, since the skeleton oil seal is not a flexible structure, a certain amount of space needs to be reserved during assembly, which will affect its overall sealing performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention solves the problems in related technologies and proposes a three-pillow tamping device. It seals the pick arm by rotating a Gladius ring. Because it is a flexible structure, it is easy to assemble into the groove on the pressure plate, resulting in better sealing. Moreover, since the size of the rotating Gladius ring is smaller than that of the skeleton oil seal, the spacer and the copper sleeve do not need to be processed into a stepped shape, reducing the difficulty and cost of processing. The inner and outer pick arms are symmetrically distributed relative to their connection with the box body, so there is no eccentric load during operation, which will not affect the sealing. In addition, the average service life of the pick arms is longer.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a three-pillow tamping device, including a pick arm and a sealing structure, wherein the sealing structure includes a copper sleeve, a pressure plate and a rotating glyph, the copper sleeve and the pressure plate are installed between the housing and the pick arm, and the rotating glyph is fitted into the groove of the pressure plate and together they are fitted onto the copper sleeve with a spacer ring.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the pick arm includes an outer pick arm and an inner pick arm, wherein the outer pick arm is symmetrically distributed with respect to its connection with the box body, and the inner pick arm is symmetrically distributed with respect to its connection with the box body.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, both the outer pick arm and the inner pick arm are hinged to the housing via pins.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the two sides of the housing are slidably mounted on guide posts, and the two guide posts are connected by a crossbeam.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the center distance of the crossbeams is 630mm.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model seals the pick arm by rotating the Glyd ring. Because it is a flexible structure, it is easy to assemble into the groove on the pressure plate, resulting in better sealing. Moreover, since the size of the rotating Glyd ring is smaller than that of the skeleton oil seal, the spacer and the copper sleeve do not need to be processed into a stepped shape, reducing the difficulty and cost of processing. The inner and outer pick arms are symmetrically distributed relative to their connection with the box, so there is no off-center load during operation, which will not affect the sealing. In addition, the average service life of the pick arm is longer. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0018] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0019] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.
