AI Technical Summary
The excavating mechanism of railway cleaning and screening machines is prone to encroaching on adjacent tracks during operation, leading to collisions with oncoming trains on adjacent tracks. Existing technologies lack effective location information-assisted detection methods.
A rope sensor is installed in the excavation mechanism of the railway cleaning machine. The position of the excavation mechanism is detected in real time by the rope sensor of the boom cylinder and the rope sensor of the bucket wheel cylinder. The sensor is fixed with a clamp to avoid direct welding, which would affect the movement accuracy of the cylinder piston rod.
It achieves accurate and efficient position detection without affecting the operation of the excavating mechanism, avoiding the problem of inaccurate detection caused by ultrasonic sensor interference, and improving safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traffic operation safety technology of large-scale road maintenance machinery, specifically relating to an auxiliary measuring device for the excavation mechanism of a railway screening machine and the railway screening machine itself. Background Technology
[0002] After long-term use, railway lines often suffer from soiled ballast and broken ballast, significantly impacting the condition and performance of the track. Therefore, cleaning is necessary using a railway ballast cleaning machine. This machine is a ballast cleaning device that performs functions such as ballast excavation, ballast conveying, vibrating screening, clean ballast backfilling, and sludge disposal. During operation, the excavating mechanism of the cleaning machine may swing outwards and encroach on adjacent tracks, potentially causing collisions with oncoming trains. Therefore, it is necessary to design an auxiliary measuring device for the excavating mechanism of the railway ballast cleaning machine to help operators monitor the real-time position of the excavating mechanism during operation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art and to provide an auxiliary measuring device for the excavation mechanism of a railway screen cleaning machine and a railway screen cleaning machine. Without affecting the operation of the excavation mechanism of the railway screen cleaning machine, a precise and efficient auxiliary detection is achieved in the limited space of the railway screen cleaning machine by setting a rope sensor.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: an auxiliary measuring device for the excavation mechanism of a railway cleaning machine, including a boom cylinder pull rope sensor 1 for detecting the extension and retraction of the boom lateral movement cylinder and a bucket wheel cylinder pull rope sensor for detecting the extension and retraction of the bucket wheel lateral movement cylinder.
[0005] The boom cylinder pull rope sensor is mounted on the top of the cylinder via a clamp. A pull rope fixing plate is installed at the end of the piston rod. The pull rope end of the boom cylinder pull rope sensor is fixed to the pull rope fixing plate. The straight line of the pull rope of the boom cylinder pull rope sensor is parallel to the piston rod axis of the boom lateral movement cylinder.
[0006] The installation method of the bucket wheel cylinder pull rope sensor is the same as that of the boom cylinder pull rope sensor. The bucket wheel cylinder pull rope sensor is installed directly below the cylinder of the bucket wheel lateral movement cylinder by clamps. The piston rod end of the bucket wheel lateral movement cylinder is equipped with a pull rope fixing plate. The pull rope end of the bucket wheel cylinder pull rope sensor is fixed to the pull rope fixing plate. The straight line of the pull rope of the bucket wheel cylinder pull rope sensor is parallel to the piston rod axis of the bucket wheel lateral movement cylinder.
[0007] The clamp includes two half-rings and connecting lugs at the ends of the two half-rings. Bolts installed on the connecting lugs at the ends of the two half-rings form a whole by the two half-rings surrounding the cylinder. One half-ring has a mounting block for fixing the bucket wheel cylinder pull rope sensor or the bucket wheel cylinder pull rope sensor.
[0008] The piston rod end of the boom lateral movement cylinder has a lug plate, and a rope fixing plate is installed on the lug plate. The rope fixing plate is fixed with rope clamps at both ends.
[0009] The boom cylinder cable sensor is covered with a protective cover.
[0010] The piston rod of the boom lateral movement cylinder is hinged to the crankshaft mounted on the crankshaft mounting seat, and the cylinder barrel of the boom lateral movement cylinder is hinged to the boom cylinder mounting seat on the vehicle body via a pin shaft; the cylinder barrel of the bucket wheel lateral movement cylinder is hinged to the bucket wheel cylinder mounting seat on the forearm, and the piston rod of the bucket wheel lateral movement cylinder is hinged to the bucket wheel cylinder mounting seat on the bucket wheel support bracket.
[0011] A railway cleaning and screening machine includes a car body and an excavating mechanism. The car body includes a frame, and the excavating mechanism includes a bucket wheel support bracket and a bucket wheel disposed outside the bucket wheel support bracket. The bucket wheel support bracket is characterized in that: the bucket wheel support bracket is connected to the car body via a boom; the upper end of the boom is hinged to a forearm, the forearm is hinged to the bucket wheel support bracket, the lower end of the boom is hinged to a support, and the support is hinged to the car body. The support is hinged via a crankshaft to the piston rod of a boom lateral movement cylinder used to push the boom to swing; the cylinder barrel of the boom lateral movement cylinder is hinged to a boom cylinder mounting seat on the frame; one end of the bucket wheel lateral movement cylinder used to push the bucket wheel support bracket to swing relative to the boom is mounted on the bucket wheel support bracket, and the other end is mounted on the forearm; the excavating mechanism also includes the aforementioned auxiliary measuring device.
[0012] The bucket wheel cylinder pull rope sensor is clamped and mounted directly below the cylinder barrel of the bucket wheel lateral movement cylinder. The lateral movement cylinder protects the pull rope sensor from being struck by falling rocks, thus preventing it from affecting its detection accuracy, even without a protective cover. In this invention, the use of a pull rope sensor improves detection accuracy and avoids the inaccuracy caused by interference when using ultrasonic sensors. The clamped mounting of the displacement sensor eliminates the need for direct welding to the outer wall of the cylinder barrel, thereby avoiding the impact of welding on the piston rod's movement accuracy.
