[0043] The main beam assembly also includes a main beam vertical beam 106 and a main beam bottom plate 109.

[0044] The main beam assembly also includes a traction nose cover 107 and a traction nose seat 108, which are disposed on the front side of the main beam vertical beam 106, with the traction nose cover 107 disposed on the traction nose seat 108.
[0045] The grinding device frame assembly further includes frame longitudinal beams 101, frame transverse beams 102, frame vertical beams 103, and a frame base plate 104. Two frame longitudinal beams 101 and two frame transverse beams 102 are vertically connected to form the frame body, and the four corners of the frame body are connected to the top of the frame vertical beams 103. The frame base plate 104 is installed at the bottom of the frame vertical beams 103, and a first boss 116 for positioning is provided on the frame base plate 104.
[0046] The grinding device frame assembly also includes a unit mounting base 115, which is located inside the frame longitudinal beam 101. The installation distance between the unit mounting bases 115 is adjusted according to the number and width of the grinding units 2.

[0050] Example 2
[0051] As attached Figure 7 To be continued Figure 13 As shown, an embodiment of the rail grinding device 100 of this application specifically includes:
[0052] The frame 1 as described in Example 1;
[0053] Fireproof and dustproof device 3 installed on the frame 1;
[0054] The polishing unit 2 is installed on the frame 1 and located inside the fireproof and dustproof device 3.
[0055] The frame 1 includes a main beam assembly and a grinding device frame assembly disposed on both sides of the main beam assembly along the lateral direction.
[0056] The rail grinding device 100 (typically comprising one or more grinding trolleys; in this embodiment, a single grinding trolley structure is specifically described) has lifting and traveling functions, while the grinding unit 2 has lateral movement, downward pressing, and deflection functions. These functional components interact with the entire vehicle via fasteners, cables, hydraulic lines, pneumatic lines, etc. The operation control software, after being compiled, is stored in the vehicle's network control system. The rail grinding device 100 is installed under the vehicle. In non-operating mode, it is suspended from the vehicle body by locking pins; in operating mode, it moves synchronously with the vehicle via a traction column installed under the vehicle body. After stopping operation, the rail grinding device 100 can be lifted and locked using a lifting cylinder. When the rail grinding vehicle is operating on the rail, the rail grinding device 100 rests on the rail and can perform rail grinding operations. The electrical and control systems of the grinding vehicle can control the power supply and operation of the rail grinding device 100.
[0057] The frame 1 adopts modular components, mainly including main beam components, end beam components, frame components, and running gear components. The main beam components and frame components, and the frame components and end beam components, are connected via mating grooves and bolts. All internal components of the main beam components, end beam components, and frame components are welded together. The running gear components are welded to the end beam components, the wheel axles are welded to the running gear components, and the independent wheels 4 are connected to the wheel axles. In this specific embodiment, the frame 1, which originally required integral welding, is designed as multiple independently processable modular components. After independent processing and welding, the various parts are combined together using high-strength bolts, greatly reducing welding deformation and welding stress, while improving subsequent maintainability. 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 components 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. Meanwhile, the position of the unit mounting base 115 can be adjusted according to the number of grinding heads and the form of the frame assembly, so that the frame 1 of the rail grinding device 100 is universal and the number of grinding heads can be adjusted according to actual needs.
