Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Japanese knotweed cultivation technology, specifically a digital indicator for railway track opening. Background Technology

[0002] A railway track opening digital indicator is a device used in railway shunting operations to indicate the track opening status in digital form. It is typically installed at the entrance of a railway turnout area, displaying numbers to indicate the currently open track, thus helping shunting personnel accurately determine and operate the turnouts, ensuring the safety and efficiency of shunting operations.

[0003] Existing digital displays are usually installed at high locations for shunting personnel to observe and make judgments. However, due to their high location, some digital displays are easily blown over by strong winds, affecting the shunting personnel's observation and judgment. Furthermore, the environment where the digital displays are located is dusty due to the back-and-forth movement of trains, causing dust to easily accumulate on the surface of the digital displays. This dust accumulation not only obscures the display but also easily damages the digital displays. Currently, the surface cleaning of digital displays involves manual cleaning with a cloth while climbing at a height. This method is difficult to clean the digital displays evenly, and the wiping process requires personnel to lean forward, posing certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a digital indicator for railway track opening, which solves the problems that some digital indicators are easily blown over by strong winds at high locations, affecting the observation and judgment of shunting personnel, and that manual wiping of the surface dust of some digital indicators can lead to uneven cleaning and certain safety hazards.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: The railway track opening digital indicator includes a support unit, a digital display, and a power distribution box. The digital display is mounted on the support unit, the power distribution box is mounted below the digital display, and a cleaning and reinforcement unit is provided on the support unit.

[0006] The cleaning and reinforcement unit includes:

[0007] The collar is provided in two sets, symmetrically arranged, and the collar is circular in shape.

[0008] The locking blocks are provided in pairs and are arranged symmetrically. The locking blocks are U-shaped and are located inside the collar.

[0009] A cleaning roller, which is rotatably connected between two locking blocks.

[0010] Preferably, the support unit includes:

[0011] The support pillars are configured in pairs and arranged symmetrically.

[0024] Preferably, the fastening bolt abuts against the support column.

[0025] This utility model discloses a digital indicator for railway track opening, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The railway track is equipped with digital displays and a cleaning and reinforcement unit. By attaching a locking block to the top of the digital display, the top of the display is reinforced, making it less likely to tip over in windy weather. This reinforcement facilitates observation and judgment by shunting personnel. Furthermore, by loosening the fastening bolts and sliding the collar downwards, the locking block moves downwards, which in turn moves the cleaning roller to clean the surface of the digital display. The cleaning roller cleans from top to bottom, resulting in more even cleaning of the digital display. Moreover, the cleaning process does not require personnel to lean forward, thus reducing safety hazards. Attached Figure Description
