Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sand-filling equipment for railway locomotives, specifically a sand-filling car for railway locomotives. Background Technology
[0002] Train sandboxes are mainly used for storing and supplying sand, playing a vital role in train operation, especially in improving wheel-rail adhesion performance. They can increase wheel-rail friction, assist braking and protect wheels and tracks, and adapt to special track conditions.
[0003] The equipment used for loading sand onto trains is a mechanized device that provides efficient, clean, and automated sand filling for the sand boxes of train locomotives (such as electric locomotives and diesel locomotives). Its core function is to accurately inject standard-compliant quartz sand into the locomotive's sand box, solving problems such as low efficiency, dust pollution, and sand waste associated with traditional manual sand filling, and ensuring the normal operation of the locomotive's sand spreading system.
[0004] Existing equipment for loading sand onto trains may experience clumping of the quartz sand in the storage bins if the equipment is not used for an extended period or if there are significant weather changes. This necessitates regular stirring of the quartz sand in the storage bins by staff, which reduces the efficiency of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0037] First embodiment:
[0038] Please see Figures 1-6 The system includes a lifting platform 1, with a storage box 2 installed on top of the lifting platform 1. The outer wall of the storage box 2 is equipped with a striking assembly, which includes a gear 8, a positioning plate 9, and a connecting block 10. The positioning plate 9 is installed on top of the gear 8, and the connecting block 10 is installed on top of the positioning plate 9. A contact rod 11 is installed on top of the connecting block 10, and a spring 12 is installed at one end of the connecting block 10. The striking assembly significantly reduces the possibility of lumps forming in the quartz sand within the storage box 2, and also reduces the frequency of regular stirring of the quartz sand in the storage box 2 by the operators. This reduces blockages during sand pouring, effectively improving the system's working efficiency. A suction pump 5 is installed at the bottom of the sand inlet 6, and the suction pump 5 adsorbs the quartz sand in the storage box 2, effectively improving the system's efficiency in loading sand into the locomotive's sand box, thereby further improving the system's working efficiency.
[0039] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2-4 One end of gear 8 is equipped with a drive motor, and the other end of the drive motor is equipped with a protective cover 4. The protective cover 4 limits the position of the drive motor, thereby improving the stability of gear 8 when it rotates.
[0040] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The protective cover 4 is installed on the outer wall of the striking component, and the protective cover 4 is U-shaped and connected to the lifting platform 1. The protective cover 4 is used to position multiple parts of the striking component and improve the stability of the striking component during operation.
[0041] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2-4 A rotating rod is set at the center point of gear 8, and a driven wheel is installed at one end of the rotating rod. A belt 7 is fitted on the outer wall of the driven wheel to transmit power to gear 8, so that the two sets of balls simultaneously strike the outer wall of storage box 2.
[0042] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2-4The other end of the belt 7 is also equipped with a gear 8, and the top of the gear 8 is in contact with the outer wall of the positioning plate 9. The positioning plate 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 10. The rotation of the gear 8 drives the positioning plate 9 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting block 10 to rotate and transmitting kinetic energy. This reduces the energy consumption of the equipment.
[0043] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 6 A spring 12 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting block 10, and the other end of the spring 12 is connected to the outer wall of the protective cover 4. The spring 12 limits the position of the connecting block 10, thereby causing the ball to frequently contact the outer wall of the storage box 2, thus improving the working efficiency of the device.
[0044] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2-4 The connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to the contact rod 11, and a ball is installed on the top of the contact rod 11. The ball contacts the outer wall of the storage box 2. By setting the ball to knock on the outer wall of the storage box 2, the phenomenon of quartz sand nodules on the inner wall of the storage box 2 is greatly reduced, thereby effectively improving the working efficiency of the device.
[0045] Second embodiment:
[0046] Please see Figure 4 The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that, while retaining the features of Example 1, a suction pump 5 is added to the bottom of the sand inlet 6, so that the suction pump 5 can adsorb the quartz sand in the storage tank 2, thereby improving the working efficiency of the device.
[0047] A suction pump 5 is installed between the sand outlet 3 and the sand inlet 6. The suction pump 5 uses kinetic energy to adsorb the quartz sand in the storage tank 2, which effectively increases the flow rate of the quartz sand and also effectively controls the flow direction of the quartz sand during the operation of the hammering component, reducing the splashing of impurities in the storage tank 2.
[0048] In practical operation, this utility model is as follows:
[0049] When the train sand loading device is used to load quartz sand into the train sand box, the moving device is first placed in the appropriate position. Then, the height of the lifting platform 1 is adjusted by the control button so that the position of the sand outlet 3 is at the appropriate height. Then, the motor is driven by the control button to drive the gear 8 to rotate and control the direction of the positioning plate 9, which in turn causes the connecting block 10 to rotate. While the connecting block 10 is rotating, it is pulled back by the force of the spring 12, so that the ball at the top of the contact rod 11 contacts the outer wall of the storage box 2 and knocks on the outer wall of the storage box 2, reducing the phenomenon of lumps in the quartz sand in the storage box 2 and effectively improving work efficiency.
[0050] Furthermore, a suction pump 5 is installed between the sand outlet 3 and the sand inlet 6, and the suction pump 5 adsorbs the quartz sand in the storage tank 2, thereby increasing the flow rate of the quartz sand in the storage tank 2 and reducing the phenomenon of quartz sand accumulating in the storage tank 2 getting stuck.
[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
