Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of railway engineering machinery technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency grinding device for rail grinding operations. Background Technology

[0002] The grinding device is the executing mechanism for rail grinding operations. As a key component of the rail grinding train, it plays a vital role. The quality, efficiency, and coverage of grinding angles during rail grinding are all determined by the grinding device. A rail grinding device typically consists of multiple grinding units. The grinding wheels in each unit directly act on the rail to perform the grinding operation. The number of grinding units directly determines the grinding efficiency of the entire device. Currently, the main types of grinding devices used in rail grinding vehicles both domestically and internationally include:

[0003] The first type is the national railway grinding trolley, which integrates four grinding units into a single trolley, with two grinding motors arranged symmetrically on each grinding unit.

[0004] The second type is the second-generation subway grinding trolley, which integrates 10 grinding motors in a single section, arranged symmetrically. Each grinding motor is made into a separate grinding unit.

[0005] The following documents are relevant to this application in the prior art:

[0006] Document 1 is a Chinese utility model patent applied for by Zhuzhou Times Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. on July 28, 2023, and published on May 7, 2024, with publication number CN220908045U. This utility model discloses a rail grinding device, including: a frame, a battery, a dust and chip prevention device, a frame body, a control system, a lateral movement drive mechanism, a first lateral movement component, a second lateral movement component, and a grinding unit. Wheelsets for vehicle travel and support are arranged below the frame, while the battery, control system, and frame body are all arranged above the frame. The grinding unit is located inside the frame body, and the dust and chip prevention device is located on the frame body. The first and second lateral movement components are arranged between the frame and the grinding unit, forming a lateral movement pair. The lateral movement drive mechanism is arranged between the frame body and the grinding unit, enabling the grinding unit to move laterally relative to the frame. This application solves the technical problem that existing equipment cannot simultaneously achieve high grinding power, high operating efficiency, and high automation while being simple in structure, low in cost, and lightweight, and capable of short-distance reciprocating grinding. This utility model is a small rail grinding device, which can only perform short-distance, low-volume grinding.

[0007] Document 2 is a Chinese invention application filed on August 12, 2022, and published on September 23, 2022, by Jinying Heavy Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. and China State Railway Group Co., Ltd., with publication number CN115094693A. This invention discloses a rail grinding device, including a lateral movement mechanism, a deflection mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a grinding mechanism. The grinding mechanism includes a grinding wheel whose circumferential surface can contact the rail head and moves longitudinally along the rail as the rail grinding vehicle travels, thereby grinding the surface of the rail head. The lifting mechanism drives the grinding mechanism to rise and fall; the lateral movement mechanism drives the lifting mechanism to rotate, thereby causing the grinding wheel to move laterally relative to the rail; the deflection mechanism drives the grinding mechanism to rotate, thereby causing the grinding wheel to change angle laterally relative to the rail. This invention uses a tangential grinding method with a grinding wheel, resulting in low grinding efficiency and limited application scenarios.

[0008] Document 3 is a Chinese invention application filed on September 19, 2022, and published on December 2, 2022, with publication number CN115418899A, by Sichuan Southwest Jiaotong University Railway Development Co., Ltd. and Chengdu Luzhian Technology Co., Ltd. This invention discloses a high-speed rail grinding trolley for urban rail transit, including a grinding frame for mounting and fixing various components to achieve the grinding function, and a first lifting mechanism connected to the trolley body and the grinding frame to achieve lifting and lowering of the grinding frame and provide clamping force. This invention enables rapid and reliable raising and lowering of the grinding beam via a second lifting mechanism; achieves precise adjustment and wide coverage of the rail surface grinding position through a grinding angle adjustment mechanism; allows for rapid rotation and replacement of the grinding stone set through a rotating mechanism, which locks after rotation to ensure the stability of the grinding beam's working state; and facilitates the raising and lowering of the grinding frame through symmetrically arranged fourth telescopic components, avoiding problems such as device failure and uncontrollable state caused by asynchronous raising and lowering operations. Through the cooperation of the suspension components and suspension shaft, the raised grinding frame is stably placed during high-speed travel, preventing the grinding frame from falling onto the rail or other dangerous situations in case the lifting device fails. However, this invention employs a passive grinding method with no power source input to the grinding wheel, resulting in low grinding efficiency.

The modular frame structure reduces the processing difficulty of the frame 1, improves the commonality of parts, and reduces subsequent maintenance costs. The two side frame assemblies of the frame 1 adopt an open structure design, increasing the maintenance space, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of parts, and improving the maintainability of the grinding device.

A transverse locking link 234 is provided between the unit suspension plate 201 and the grinding unit frame 203 to lock the transverse position of the grinding unit 2.

[0116] The rail grinding device 100 includes two grinding motors 204 and four vertical guide columns 215 mounted in pairs parallel to each other on the vertical guide column base plate 217. Each grinding motor 204 is mounted on two vertical guide columns 215 via a sliding back plate 216. One end of the lifting drive mechanism 207 is mounted on the grinding motor 204 via a lifting drive mounting base 208, and the other end is mounted on the grinding motor mounting bracket 205 via another lifting drive mounting base 208. The lifting drive mechanism 207 can drive the grinding motor 204 to move up and down.

[0118] As attached Figure 23 As shown, a high-position locking assembly 210 for the grinding motor is installed on the grinding motor mounting bracket 205, which locks the grinding motor 204 when it is in a high position. The high-position locking assembly 210 includes a locking plate 222, a fixed slide 223, a high-position locking drive mechanism 225, and a locking drive mounting base 226. The fixed slide 223 is mounted on the vertical guide column base plate 217, and the locking drive mounting base 226 is mounted on the grinding motor mounting bracket 205.

The locking plate 222 and the movable end of the high-position locking drive mechanism 225 are connected by a locking pin 227. When the grinding motor 204 is in a high position, the movable end of the high-position locking drive mechanism 225 extends, causing the locking plate 222 to slide below the back plate 221 of the grinding motor, thereby achieving high-position locking. As a typical embodiment of this application, the high-position locking drive mechanism 225 can specifically adopt a high-position locking cylinder.

[0119] As attached Figure 24 As shown, a grinding motor deflection locking assembly 213 is also installed on the grinding motor mounting bracket 205, which achieves a locking function when the grinding motor mounting bracket 205 is in the zero position. The grinding motor deflection locking assembly 213 includes a position detection limit switch 228, a deflection locking seat 229, and a deflection locking drive mechanism 230.

The deflection locking drive mechanism 230 is fixed on the grinding unit frame 203, and the position detection limit switch 228 is installed on the deflection locking seat 229. When the grinding motor 204 is at 0 degrees of deflection, the hole 233 in the deflection locking seat 229 is aligned with the deflection locking drive mechanism 230, and the movable end of the deflection locking drive mechanism 230 extends into the hole 233, thereby achieving deflection locking, and the position detection limit switch 228 outputs a locking signal. As a typical embodiment of this application, the deflection locking drive mechanism 230 may specifically adopt a deflection locking cylinder.

[0120] As attached Figure 25 To be continued Figure 35As shown, the fireproof and dustproof device 3 also includes front and rear panel assemblies, a side door lifting drive mechanism 307, and a side door tilting drive mechanism 319. The top panel assembly is fixedly connected to the upper part of the main beam longitudinal beam 105 and the grinding device frame, and the side panel assembly is hinged to the side of the grinding device frame. The inner middle panel assembly is connected to the lower part of the main beam longitudinal beam 105, and the front and rear panel assemblies are connected to the lower part of the end beam 110. The side door lifting drive mechanism 307 is connected to the side panel assembly, and the side door tilting drive mechanism 319 is connected to the end beam 110 and the side panel assembly.

[0121] The top panel assembly further includes a door panel 301, a transition plate 302, a dust collection vent 303, a central dust collection port 304, and a central cover plate 305, all mounted on the frame 1. The central dust collection port 304 is located on both sides of the central cover plate 305 along its longitudinal direction. The dust collection vent 303, the transition plate 302, and the door panel 301 are symmetrically arranged from the inside out on both sides of the central dust collection port 304 and the central cover plate 305 along its transverse direction. One side of the transition plate 302 is hinged to one side of the door panel 301, and the other side of the door panel 301 is connected to the frame 1. The door panel 301 can be flipped upwards and opened.

[0122] The side panel assembly further includes a side door upper panel 306, a side door 308, and a side fireproof soft curtain 309. The side door upper panel 306 is connected to the frame 1, and the side door 308 and the side fireproof soft curtain 309 are installed below the side door upper panel 306 in sequence.

[0123] The internal intermediate plate assembly further includes an upper intermediate partition 313 and a lower intermediate partition 314.

[0125] A first door panel pivot seat 333 is provided on the door panel 301, and a second door panel pivot seat 334 is provided on the adapter plate 302. One side of the door panel 301 is connected to the adapter plate 302 through the first door panel pivot seat 333 and the second door panel pivot seat 334, and the door panel 301 can rotate around the adapter plate 302. The side door upper panel 306 is connected to the vehicle frame 1 through the side door pivot seat 321 and can rotate around the vehicle frame 1. The side door flipping drive mechanism 319 is installed on the front and rear sides of the side door upper panel 306. One end of the side door flipping drive mechanism 319 is connected to the side door upper panel 306 through the flipping drive mechanism rod seat 318, and the other end of the side door flipping drive mechanism 319 is connected to the vehicle frame 1 through the flipping drive mechanism tail seat 320. In this embodiment, the fireproof and dustproof device 3 allows the side door and the upper cover to open and close at a large angle, which can increase the maintenance space, reduce maintenance time, and reduce maintenance difficulty.

[0126] One end of the side door lifting drive mechanism 307 is mounted on the upper plate 306 of the side door via the tailstock 316 of the first drive mechanism, and the other end is mounted on the side door 308 via the rod seat 317 of the first drive mechanism. The side door lifting drive mechanism 307 can drive the side door 308 to rise and fall.

[0127] A sliding rod 326 is installed on the back of the side door 308. Four sliding rod seats are mounted on the sliding rod 326. The first sliding rod seat 325 and the third sliding rod seat 328 are mounted on the upper panel 306 of the side door, while the second sliding rod seat 327 and the fourth sliding rod seat 329 are mounted on the side door 308. The sliding rod 326 is fixedly connected to the first sliding rod seat 325 and the third sliding rod seat 328 and cannot slide relative to each other. The sliding rod 326 forms a sliding pair with the second sliding rod seat 327 and the fourth sliding rod seat 329, allowing relative sliding. The side fireproof curtain 309 and the end fireproof curtain 311 are made of flame-retardant fiber materials (such as high-temperature flame-retardant polyurethane, fiberglass, etc.) and are both fixed by fireproof curtain pins 331 and annular pins 332.

[0128] The fire and dust prevention device 3 also includes a middle partition lifting drive mechanism 315 disposed between the internal intermediate plate assembly and the main beam longitudinal beam 105. One end of the middle partition lifting drive mechanism 315 is mounted on the main beam longitudinal beam 105 of the frame 1 via a second drive mechanism tailstock 336, and the other end is mounted on the middle upper partition 313 via a second drive mechanism rod seat 335. The middle partition lifting drive mechanism 315 can drive the middle upper partition 313 to rise and fall. As a typical embodiment of this application, the middle partition lifting drive mechanism 315 can specifically adopt a lifting cylinder.

[0129] An anti-detachment mechanism 322 is also installed between the upper intermediate partition 313 and the frame 1 to prevent the upper intermediate partition 313 from falling off. The lower intermediate partition 314 is connected to the upper intermediate partition 313 by a U-shaped shackle 323 and a locking bolt 324. As a typical embodiment of this application, the anti-detachment mechanism 322 can specifically be an anti-detachment steel wire rope.

[0130] Fire curtains 312 are installed below the side door 308, the end upper plate 310, and the middle lower partition 314. The fire curtains 312 have a certain degree of flexibility to reduce the severity of accidental collisions. The fire curtains 312 are connected via quick-connect buckles 330 and consist of several individual fire-blocking plates. The fire-blocking plates can be made of impact-resistant stainless steel. Damaged fire-blocking plates can be replaced individually, significantly reducing the workload and cost of maintaining the fire curtains 312 and extending their service life. The fire-blocking plates block sparks generated during rail grinding, preventing sparks and high-temperature iron filings from escaping and effectively reducing the risk of fire. A soft curtain on the outside of the fire-blocking plates adds another layer of protection, further increasing the spark blocking rate. The soft curtain improves overall sealing, resulting in better dust collection and extraction. The fire-blocking device can also be fully opened for easy inspection and replacement of parts. To achieve a good fire-blocking effect, the fire-blocking device needs to be arranged below the rail surface. This would cause interference between the fire-blocking device and the turnout when the rail grinding car passes through the turnout area. In this specific embodiment, an automatic lifting function for the fire-blocking device is adopted. The fire-blocking devices on both sides and in the middle can be automatically raised. When the grinding car passes through the turnout area, the fire-blocking device can be automatically raised without raising the grinding device, thus improving the passing efficiency of the grinding car. The multi-dust collection port design (in this embodiment, two intermediate dust collection ports 304 and six dust collection air ports 303 are used, with one dust collection air port 303 above each grinding unit 2) effectively reduces sparks and dust escape, provides targeted dust removal and cooling in multiple areas, increases the internal dust removal airflow velocity, improves the dust collection rate, and reduces the internal temperature of the grinding device.

[0131] The fireproof and dustproof device 3 contains six grinding units 2, arranged symmetrically in pairs along the transverse direction. Each grinding unit 2 includes two grinding motors 204. A grinding wheel connecting flange 218 is mounted on the shaft end of the grinding motor 204, and grinding wheels 219 are mounted on the grinding wheel connecting flange 218. Existing rail grinding devices generally consist of several grinding units, each integrating one grinding motor 204. The grinding motor 204 drives the grinding wheels 219 to directly act on the rail to achieve the grinding operation. The number of grinding wheels 219 directly determines the grinding efficiency of the grinding device. The rail grinding device 100 described in this embodiment integrates six grinding units 2 within the limited space of a single grinding trolley. Each grinding unit 2 integrates two grinding motors 204, for a total of 12 grinding motors 204, which can simultaneously mount 12 grinding wheels 219. The rail grinding car carries multiple grinding trolleys that work together simultaneously. Increasing the number of grinding heads per trolley allows for the placement of more grinding wheels while maintaining the same overall car length and number of trolleys; conversely, it allows for a reduction in the number of trolleys while keeping the total number of grinding wheels constant, thus reducing the overall car length and number of sections. Increasing the number of grinding heads effectively improves the grinding efficiency of the rail grinding car. Reducing the overall car length enhances its flexibility, lowers requirements for stations and yards, and allows for resupply stops at more smaller stations or yards.

[0132] Grinding unit 2 employs an integrated dual-axis motor sliding backplate assembly. The grinding motor 204 can be independently raised and lowered. The integrated dual-axis sliding backplate reduces the difficulty of parts processing, improves the raising and lowering accuracy of the grinding motor 204, making it easier to ensure grinding precision, and also reduces motor vibration, further improving grinding quality. The grinding motor 204 is designed with high-position locking and deflection locking functions, which can significantly improve grinding safety and stability. Grinding unit 2 has downward pressing, deflection, and lateral movement functions, enabling grinding of the main rail line, effectively improving rail grinding efficiency and quality.

[0133] As attached Figure 36 and appendix Figure 37As shown, the upper end of the grinding motor back plate 221 is mounted on the top plate 214 of the vertical guide column, and the lower end is mounted on the bottom plate 217 of the vertical guide column. One end of the fireproof and heat-insulating curtain 220 is mounted above the grinding motor back plate 221, and the other end is mounted on the longitudinal beam 101 of the frame on the inner side of the grinding device frame. The area separated from the grinding motor back plate 221, the fireproof and heat-insulating curtain 220 and the internal intermediate plate assembly is the high-temperature zone B, and the intermediate dust collection port 304 is located above the high-temperature zone. The area separated from the grinding motor back plate 221, the fireproof and heat-insulating curtain 220, the side panel assembly and the top plate assembly is the low-temperature zone A, and the dust collection port 303 is located above the low-temperature zone. The transverse guide column 202, the grinding motor 204, the lifting drive mechanism 207, the vertical guide column 215 and the deflection drive mechanism 211 are all located in the low-temperature zone. Rail grinding operations generate high temperatures inside the grinding device, which can affect its continuous operation. This embodiment addresses this by installing a fireproof and heat-insulating curtain 220 and a back plate 221 behind the grinding motor 204, effectively isolating high and low temperature zones within the grinding device. This prevents sparks from reaching the low-temperature zone, restricts the flow of hot air towards the motor, and slows the temperature rise in the low-temperature zone, thus improving the grinding device's continuous operation. Furthermore, dividing the grinding device into high-temperature and low-temperature zones ensures that critical components (such as the grinding motor and its drive mechanism, as well as internal bearings, coils, and seals) are located in the low-temperature zone, reducing the frequency of failure due to high temperatures. A specific embodiment also increases the number of air intakes to dissipate heat from the high-temperature and low-temperature zones separately, increasing the airflow rate inside the grinding device and reducing the overall internal temperature.

[0134] It should be noted that, in the specific embodiments of this application, the hydraulic cylinder can be replaced by an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and the pneumatic cylinder can also be replaced by a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder.
