Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track construction technology, specifically to a ballast transport trolley. Background Technology

[0002] Ballast is coarse gravel or crushed stone used to pave the subgrade of highways or railways. It is made of high-grade granite and is used to distribute the weight of trains and tracks on the subgrade, reducing vibration and noise caused by passing trains. Therefore, ballast needs to be transported to the work site when carrying out off-site renovations of existing sections such as subways and railways.

[0003] However, when carrying out external renovations of existing subway and railway depots, the presence of existing fencing, landscaping, and other facilities significantly reduces the working space. Currently, the only feasible way to transport ballast for external subway line renovations is using small rail flatbeds. However, ballast is heavy, bulky, and loose, making rail flatbed transport inefficient. Therefore, ballast transportation and paving have become a direct constraint on construction progress, wasting time and increasing construction difficulty. Furthermore, the nature of existing subway depots means that construction time is limited; work must be completed within a specified timeframe, and the site must be cleared afterward. Under the premise of not affecting normal operations, the construction schedule is extremely tight.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a ballast transport wagon to solve the technical problems of difficult ballast transport and low transport efficiency when existing yards are being modified outside the warehouse. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a ballast transport wagon to at least solve one technical problem existing in the related art.

[0006] This application provides a ballast transport wheelbarrow, comprising: a material holding device having a material holding cavity for holding construction materials, the bottom end of the material holding cavity forming a discharge angle with the ground; and a wheelbarrow chassis for supporting the material holding device and capable of moving along a track.

[0007] As an optional implementation, the side wall of the material storage cavity connected to the lowest position of the bottom of the material storage cavity is provided with a discharge port, which is connected to the outside of the material storage cavity; the discharge port is provided with a discharge door that can close the discharge port.

[0008] As an optional implementation, the unloading gate is movably connected to the outer wall of the material receiving cavity above the discharge port, and also includes a locking structure for locking the unloading gate so that the discharge port remains closed.

[0009] As an optional implementation, the locking structure includes multiple components, which are evenly disposed between the unloading door and the outer wall of the receiving cavity.

[0010] As an optional implementation, the wheelbarrow chassis is detachably connected to the material receiving device.

[0011] As an optional implementation, a limiting device is also included, disposed on the chassis of the wheelbarrow, for fixing the material receiving device.

[0012] As an optional implementation, the material receiving device includes a fixedly connected hopper frame and a material receiving hopper; the material receiving hopper has the material receiving cavity, and the bottom end of the material receiving hopper is arranged parallel to the bottom end of the material receiving cavity; the hopper frame is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the wheelbarrow chassis to fix the material receiving hopper so that the bottom end of the material receiving hopper and the upper surface of the wheelbarrow chassis maintain the unloading angle.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the material receiving device is integrally formed, and the bottom end of the material receiving device and the bottom end of the material receiving cavity form the unloading angle; the bottom end of the material receiving device is directly placed on the upper surface of the wheelbarrow chassis.

[0014] As an optional implementation, the material holding device also includes multiple lifting ports.

[0015] As an optional implementation, the wheelbarrow chassis includes a plurality of track wheels that are connected to the track; the track wheels are made of iron.

[0023] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this application, a detailed explanation is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Furthermore, it should be understood in the description of this application that the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and 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 of this application.

[0026] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the "above" or "below" of the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0028] This application provides a ballast transport wheelbarrow, comprising: a material holding device 1, having a material holding cavity for holding construction materials, the bottom end of the material holding cavity forming a discharge angle with the ground; and a wheelbarrow chassis 2 for supporting the material holding device 1 and capable of moving along a track.

[0029] Specifically, the ballast transport wagon is equipped with a material-holding cavity that can be loaded with ballast. At the same time, the wagon chassis 2 can move along the track, effectively utilizing the facilities within the site and realizing convenient ballast transport. In addition, the setting of the unloading angle allows the ballast in the material-holding cavity to gather on one side or in one corner, facilitating centralized unloading by workers. It also provides a basis for autonomous unloading of the material-holding cavity, which can greatly improve the unloading efficiency of ballast and the convenience of ballast transport. To a certain extent, it solves the technical problems of difficult and inefficient ballast transport when existing yard sections are modified outside the warehouse.

[0030] It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific angle of the unloading tilt, nor does it limit the manner in which the bottom of the material-containing cavity is tilted. For example, the material-containing cavity can be formed as a cuboid, that is, a cube when the bottom of the cavity is not tilted. In this case, the bottom of the cavity can be tilted from one side of the cube to the opposite side, or from one corner of the cube to the other. Alternatively, the bottom of the cavity can be formed by two downward-sloping faces connected together, forming a long included angle, which tilts from one end to the other, creating an unloading tilt angle with the ground. This application does not limit these aspects; any solution that allows the ballast to gather at a certain position in the cavity due to the angle, thereby improving the convenience of unloading, should fall within the scope of the claims of this application.

[0031] In addition, in order to further improve the efficiency of ballast transportation and unloading, a discharge port can be opened on the side wall of the material cavity connected to the lowest position of the bottom of the material cavity, and connected to the outside of the material cavity.

[0032] The discharge port is located at the lowest point of the material receiving chamber. The matching setting of the discharge port and the unloading angle enables the automatic removal of some ballast. Even if some ballast cannot be automatically discharged through the discharge port, this setting greatly improves the convenience of ballast unloading and saves a lot of manpower, making ballast operation more convenient.

[0033] Meanwhile, setting the discharge port on the side wall of the material receiving cavity, compared to opening the discharge port at the bottom of the material receiving cavity, can further facilitate the unloading of ballast, and at the same time, it can not hinder the installation of the material receiving device 1 and the wheelbarrow chassis 2, thus improving the installation stability.

[0034] The discharge port may also be equipped with a discharge gate 3 that can close the discharge port.

[0035] The unloading gate 3 is located at the discharge port, which can close the material cavity when there is ballast in the material cavity but it is not necessary to remove the ballast, thereby further improving the practicality and convenience of the ballast transport trolley.

[0036] As an optional implementation, the unloading gate 3 is movably connected to the outer wall of the material receiving cavity above the discharge port, and also includes a locking structure 4 for locking the unloading gate 3 so that the discharge port remains closed.

[0037] As an optional implementation, the locking structure 4 includes multiple structures, which are evenly arranged between the unloading door 3 and the outer wall of the material receiving cavity.

[0038] This configuration means that when ballast needs to be removed, opening the locking structure 4 allows the unloading gate 3 to rotate upwards along its upper movable connection position, opening the discharge port. This facilitates the opening and closing of the unloading gate 3, making operation simple and convenient. Simultaneously, the opening angle of the unloading gate 3 can be controlled, thereby controlling the degree of opening of the discharge port. When the rotation angle of the unloading gate 3 is small, the unloading speed of the ballast is slow and the amount unloaded is small; when the rotation angle of the unloading gate 3 is large, the unloading speed of the ballast is faster, and the amount of ballast unloaded is larger. Furthermore, the opening angle of the unloading gate 3 can be controlled simultaneously according to the forward speed of the dump truck and the unloading requirements, further improving unloading efficiency. The locking structure 4 can be a bolt or other similar structure; this application does not limit its application to this.

[0039] As an optional implementation, the wheelbarrow chassis 2 is detachably connected to the material holding device 1.

[0040] The detachable connection between the wheelbarrow chassis 2 and the material holding device 1 makes the loading of the material holding device 1 flexible and convenient, and allows for unloading outside the site.

[0041] In addition, the material holding device 1 can also be provided with a lifting port 6. The lifting port 6 not only facilitates the transportation of the material holding device 1 from outside the work site to inside the work site, but also facilitates the loading of the material holding device 1 in different locations, further improving the ease of use of the dump truck.

[0042] As an optional implementation, a limiting device 5 is also included, which is disposed on the wheelbarrow chassis 2 and used to fix the material holding device 1.

[0043] The limiting device 5 defines the position of the material receiving device 1 on the wheelbarrow chassis 2 and fixes the material receiving device 1. The material receiving device 1 can be a baffle evenly distributed on the upper surface of the wheelbarrow chassis 2, or it can be a device with a limiting groove fixed to the wheelbarrow chassis 2, in which case the material receiving device 1 can be directly placed. This application does not limit this.

[0044] While maintaining the independence and flexibility of the material handling device 1, the stability of the cooperation between the material handling device 1 and the wheelbarrow chassis 2 is improved.

[0045] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the material receiving device 1 includes a fixedly connected hopper frame 11 and a material receiving hopper 12; the material receiving hopper 12 has the material receiving cavity, and the bottom end of the material receiving hopper 12 is arranged parallel to the bottom end of the material receiving cavity; the hopper frame 11 is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the bucket car chassis 2 to fix the material receiving hopper 12 so that the bottom end of the material receiving hopper 12 maintains the unloading angle with the upper surface of the bucket car chassis 2.

[0046] Specifically, in this configuration, the material receiving device 1 adopts a frame structure to support the irregularly shaped material receiving hopper 12. This creates a large gap between the material receiving hopper 12 and the wheel trolley chassis 2, significantly reducing the overall weight of the ballast transport wheel trolley and the wheel pressure. This also reduces the weight of the material receiving device 1, facilitating the replacement of the material receiving hopper 12 and simplifying the transport of the hopper 12 loaded with ballast. The material receiving hopper 12 and the hopper frame 11 can be directly fixedly connected or configured as a detachable connection.

[0047] The upper surface of the wheelbarrow chassis 2 can be set to be parallel to the ground, resulting in a regular structure and reducing production costs to some extent. Furthermore, the wheelbarrow chassis 2 can also be configured as a frame structure, further reducing the weight of the wheelbarrow.

[0048] As an optional implementation, the material receiving device 1 is integrally formed, and the bottom end of the material receiving device 1 forms the unloading angle with the bottom end of the material receiving cavity; the bottom end of the material receiving device 1 is directly placed on the upper surface of the wheelbarrow chassis 2.

[0049] That is, the material receiving device 1 can be directly configured as a regular, integrated structure with a material receiving cavity having a discharge angle, which is simple in structure and easy to use. (Not shown in the figure of this embodiment)

[0050] Furthermore, it is understood that the material holding device 1 can also be configured as a structure with a discharge tilt angle on the bottom surface, so that its bottom surface is parallel to the bottom surface of the material holding cavity, thereby reducing the weight of the material holding device 1. At the same time, in order to provide more stable support for the material holding device 1, the upper surface of the wheelbarrow chassis 2 forms the discharge tilt angle with the ground, so that it can directly cooperate with the bottom of the material holding device 1.

[0051] As an optional implementation, the wheelbarrow chassis 2 includes a plurality of track wheels 7 that are connected to the track; the track wheels 7 are made of iron.

[0052] The use of iron wheels can improve the load-bearing capacity of the wheelbarrow to some extent.

[0053] The sequence numbers of the embodiments in this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments.

[0054] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0055] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0056] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application.
