Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of railway safety monitoring equipment, and in particular to an intelligent snow blowing device applied to an infrared axle temperature detection system. Background Technology
[0002] The intelligent axle temperature detection system is responsible for receiving infrared radiation radiated from the axle ends of trains, calculating the current axle end temperature, thereby monitoring the axle temperature and preventing axle burn-out accidents caused by excessive axle temperature. It has an important safety monitoring function.
[0003] The miniaturized intelligent axle temperature detection system for vehicles has been widely used in new line construction and equipment overhaul due to its advantages such as adaptability to various installation environments and reduced construction costs, and its application scope will be further expanded.
[0004] Intelligent axle temperature detection systems are susceptible to damage from snowfall in winter. In snowy conditions, the zinc sulfide lenses of the detection probes are easily covered by snowflakes, leading to signal attenuation. This not only affects the accuracy of temperature monitoring but can also cause false alarms or missed alarms. In severe cases, it can even cause "snow blockage," rendering the detection equipment inoperable. The impact of snowfall on detection equipment is particularly severe in high-altitude and cold regions, posing a significant threat to railway safety. Snow removal devices must be installed to ensure the normal operation of the intelligent axle temperature detection system and thus guarantee the safety of railway transportation.
[0005] Current snow removal devices are only compatible with specific models of equipment. They are not compatible with new, miniaturized detection equipment and cannot meet the snow removal needs of different equipment. Furthermore, they are not suitable for the installation method of dedicated sleepers for detection equipment and cannot meet the requirement of trackside equipment not needing to be disassembled during track maintenance operations. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an intelligent snow blowing device for use in an infrared shaft temperature detection system.
[0007] The intelligent snow blowing device for use in an infrared shaft temperature detection system provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A smart snow blowing device for use in an infrared shaft temperature detection system includes:
[0009] A base plate is fixedly connected to the detection system equipment. The base plate includes a mounting part and a connecting part. The mounting part is detachably connected to the detection system equipment, and the base plate is movable along the installation position of the detection system equipment through the mounting part. The base plate is connected to different models of detection system equipment through the mounting part.
[0010] The air nozzle is mounted on the base plate via the connecting part to blow air and remove snow from the detection system equipment.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and designing a detachable and movable mounting part, this device can adapt to different models of infrared shaft temperature detection systems. This not only simplifies the installation process but also reduces maintenance costs. The nozzle design is optimized for the characteristics of the detection system equipment, ensuring efficient and accurate removal of snow from the equipment. This helps maintain a clear field of view for the detection system, ensuring its performance and accuracy are not affected by snow accumulation.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting part includes a connecting hole and a mounting hole, the mounting hole being an arc-shaped slot, through which the base plate moves when it is fixedly connected to the detection system equipment.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped slot design allows the base plate to move flexibly within a certain range, enabling more precise alignment and fixation of the device. This allows it to adapt to different models of detection system equipment, improving the versatility of the snow blowing device. The same base plate and mounting part can be used for multiple models of detection system equipment, further reducing costs and complexity.
[0014] Preferably, the air nozzle includes an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet is fixedly connected to the fan, and the air outlet is configured in an L-shape.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the air outlet is designed in an L-shape. After the fan starts, it generates a high-speed airflow, which is then delivered to the L-shaped nozzle through the duct. The airflow changes direction within the nozzle and exits at a certain angle and speed, impacting the snow accumulation on the key parts of the probe box and blowing the snow off the equipment surface. The special shape and angle design of the L-shaped air outlet allows the airflow to be more concentrated and effectively applied to the area requiring snow removal, improving the snow blowing effect.
[0016] Preferably, the L-shaped air outlet is provided with a shrinkage hole at the part away from the air nozzle.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the airflow passing through the outlet can be effectively compressed and accelerated through the design of the compression orifice. According to the principles of fluid mechanics, the flow velocity increases when a fluid passes through a constricting channel. Therefore, this design enables the blown airflow to be more impactful and faster, improving the effect of snow blowing or wind blowing. The compression orifice helps reduce airflow diffusion, making the airflow more concentrated. Because the airflow is accelerated when passing through the compression orifice, a longer spray distance and stronger blowing force can be obtained at the same power. This design helps improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
[0018] Preferably, the air inlet is connected to the fan via a flexible duct.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the air inlet and the fan are connected by a flexible air duct, which can buffer the vibration generated by the fan during operation and transmit it to the air nozzle. On the other hand, it is convenient to adjust the relative position of the air nozzle and the fan according to actual needs and optimize the snow removal effect.
[0020] Preferably, the air inlet is connected to the flexible duct by bolts, and a sealing element is provided at the connection.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution and incorporating sealing components, a good seal can be ensured at the connection between the air inlet and the flexible duct. This seal not only prevents airflow leakage and improves energy efficiency but also effectively prevents the intrusion of external dust, moisture, and other impurities, ensuring the cleanliness and safe operation of the system. Connecting the air inlet and the flexible duct with bolts creates a stable connection structure. This connection method can withstand significant pressure and tension, ensuring stable operation of the system even under high wind speeds or vibration environments, reducing the likelihood of malfunctions.
[0022] Preferably, the air inlet and the air outlet are connected by an intermediate component, with the bottom of one side of the intermediate component connected to the air inlet and the top of the other side of the intermediate component connected to the air outlet.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, connecting the bottom of one side of the intermediate component to the air inlet and the top of the other side to the air outlet ensures a smooth transition of airflow, reduces turbulence and resistance, and improves the overall airflow efficiency. Designing the intermediate component to connect the air inlet and the air outlet can effectively utilize space, help reduce the overall volume of the system, and make it more compact.
[0024] Preferably, the nozzle further includes a base, the base and the connecting part are adjustable and fixed, the connecting part has two parallel first long slots, the base has two parallel second long slots, the base is placed above the base plate and connected to the first long slots through the second long slots by bolts, and can be adjusted as needed.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the base and connecting part of the air nozzle are connected in an adjustable and fixed manner, specifically through the first and second elongated slots and bolts. This allows the air nozzle to be flexibly adjusted in position according to actual needs, adapting to a wider variety of base plates and installation environments, significantly improving the application range and snow removal effect of the snow blowing device. Specifically, the air nozzle's position adjustment capability helps to accurately align with key parts of the detection system, ensuring thorough snow removal, while also enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the entire device.
[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0027] 1. The base plate is connected to the detection system equipment through a detachable and movable mounting part, which can be adapted to various models of equipment, solving the problem of poor compatibility of existing snow removal devices and reducing maintenance costs;
[0028] 2. The air outlet of the nozzle is designed in an L-shape and equipped with a reduction hole, which can generate a high-speed concentrated airflow to effectively remove snow accumulation on the detection system equipment and avoid signal attenuation and false alarm / missed alarm problems;
[0029] 3. Flexible ducts connect the air inlet and the fan, which not only buffers vibrations but also improves installation flexibility. Combined with the sealing design, it enhances the reliability and durability of the system. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0035] This application discloses an intelligent snow blowing device applied to an infrared shaft temperature detection system. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The intelligent snow blowing device applied to the infrared shaft temperature detection system includes a base plate 1 and a nozzle 2. The base plate 1 serves as the basic component of the entire device, playing a role in bearing and fixing; the nozzle 2 is responsible for generating directional airflow to remove snow.
[0036] Reference Figure 2Specifically, the base plate 1 is generally formed by stamping cold-rolled steel sheet, and the surface is treated with an anti-rust coating to extend its service life. The base plate 1 includes a mounting part 11 and a connecting part 12. The mounting part 11 has two structural forms: a connecting hole 111 and an arc-shaped slot, with the arc-shaped slot enhancing flexibility. The base plate 1 is firmly locked to the detection system equipment by tightening screws in the arc-shaped slot, and the installation position can be adjusted through the arc-shaped slot. It can adapt to detection system equipment of different sizes and shapes, improving the versatility of the snow blowing device. The same set of base plate 1 and mounting part 11 can be used for various models of detection system equipment, further reducing costs and complexity.
[0037] The connecting part 12 has two parallel first elongated slots 121 for adjustable and fixed connection with other components.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 The air nozzle 2 includes an air inlet 21, an air outlet 22, and an intermediate component 23. The air inlet 21 is equipped with a flange for connecting to the upstream power source, i.e., the fan output port. Considering the potential for significant fluctuations in the on-site environment, it is recommended to prioritize the use of flexible ductwork to connect both ends, thereby absorbing unnecessary mechanical stress interference. The selection of flexible ductwork is very broad; cost-effective ready-made products from mainstream brands are available, and customized services are also supported to match specific specifications. The air inlet 21 is connected to the flexible ductwork with bolts, and a seal is installed at the connection to ensure good sealing. The seal is typically made of rubber or other materials with elastic recovery properties.
[0039] The air outlet 22 adopts an L-shaped bend layout. Compared to the traditional approach of simply pushing airflow forward in a single direction, the L-shaped path allows the gas to form a more concentrated jet beam after turning, thus significantly increasing the local impact force and achieving better cleaning results. To further enhance this advantage, a tapered neck structure called a reduction orifice is added near the end outlet. According to basic principles of fluid mechanics, when the cross-sectional area of the pipe decreases, the internal medium flow velocity will inevitably increase, and the corresponding kinetic energy will also increase.
[0040] The intermediate component 23 is hollow in the middle, with the bottom of one side connected to the air inlet 21 and the top of the other side connected to the air outlet 22. The internal cavity acts as a temporary air storage chamber to buffer the high-pressure air sent from the front end and then distribute it evenly to the designated destination, ensuring a smooth airflow transition, reducing turbulence and resistance, and improving the overall airflow efficiency.
[0041] Reference Figure 1The nozzle 2 also includes a base 24, which is fixedly connected to the connecting part 12 in an adjustable manner. The connecting part 12 has two parallel first elongated slots 121, and the base 24 has two parallel second elongated slots 241. The base 24 is placed above the base plate 1 and connected to the first elongated slots 121 via bolts through the second elongated slots 241, and can be adjusted as needed. This design allows the nozzle 2 to adapt to more types of base plates 1 and installation environments, thereby expanding its application range and optimizing snow removal performance.
[0042] The implementation principle of the intelligent snow blowing device applied to an infrared shaft temperature detection system according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: By flexibly adjusting the mounting part 11 and the connecting part 12 on the base plate 1, the device can be easily and quickly installed on different models of detection system equipment. The nozzle 2, through a reasonable structural arrangement, improves the airflow concentration and impact force, thereby improving the snow removal effect. The overall design not only reduces the maintenance difficulty but also optimizes the snow removal efficiency.
[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
