[0002] High-speed rail travel has become the preferred mode of transportation for Chinese citizens in recent years, and its safety, speed, and punctuality have made it increasingly popular, leading to a surge in the number of high-speed trains. Generally, high-speed trains require cleaning approximately every 4,000 kilometers, involving the cleaning, inspection, painting, and replacement of components and panels to maintain a clean appearance. Cleaning the train's side skirts is one such task.

[0003] The existing short-formation EMU consists of 8 carriages, with each carriage having approximately 26 skirt panels, meaning a short-formation EMU has a total of approximately 8 * 26 = 208 skirt panels. If all of these are manually scrubbed using scouring pads, it would obviously increase the labor intensity for workers and be inefficient.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4An automated cleaning line for high-speed rail guardrails includes a conveyor belt 1, a suspended conveyor belt 2, and a cleaning unit 3 for cleaning the high-speed rail base plate a and the high-speed rail skirt plate b. The cleaning unit 3 includes a housing 31, a brush roller module 32 and a spray module 33 disposed within the housing 31. The conveyor belt 1 passes through the housing 31 and is used to transport the high-speed rail base plate a. The suspended conveyor belt 2 passes through the housing 31 and is used to transport the high-speed rail skirt plate b. The brush roller module 32 includes two pairs of cleaning rollers 321 arranged opposite to each other and used to clean one side of the high-speed rail base plate a and the high-speed rail skirt plate b respectively. The spray module 33 includes three pairs of first spray pipes 331 arranged opposite to each other and used to spray one side of the high-speed rail base plate a and the high-speed rail skirt plate b respectively.

[0028] Since most of the high-speed rail skirt panels (b) are designed to be hooked and suspended, they are transported using a suspended overhead crane. However, the shape of the high-speed rail base plate (a) is not suitable for hanging, and due to its greater weight, it is better suited for a vertical, horizontal transport method. In practical applications, after the high-speed rail skirt panels (b) and base plate (a) are transported into the housing 31 of the cleaning unit 3, both sides of the skirt panels (b) and base plate (a) are brushed by the cleaning rollers 321 and sprayed by the first spray pipe 331, thus completing the automatic cleaning process. It should be noted that the entire structure of the suspended conveyor belt 2 is not shown in this embodiment.

[0029] The automated cleaning line for high-speed rail guardrails in this embodiment can transport high-speed rail base plates a via conveyor belt 1 or high-speed rail skirt plates b via suspended conveyor belt 2, making it versatile. In addition, this cleaning line can clean both sides of multiple high-speed rail base plates a and high-speed rail skirt plates b simultaneously, thereby effectively improving cleaning efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0030] In this embodiment, specifically, the cleaning unit 3 further includes a limiting module 34 for preventing the high-speed rail base plate a and the high-speed rail skirt plate b from shifting; the limiting module 34 includes three pairs of oppositely arranged spring pressure roller assemblies 341; the spring pressure roller assembly 341 includes a mounting base 3411, a pressure roller 3412 and a spring 3413; the mounting base 3411 is telescopically mounted on the housing 31, and the spring 3413 is disposed between the mounting base 3411 and the housing 31; the pressure roller 3412 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 3411. Under the above design, when the high-speed rail base plate a or the high-speed rail skirt plate b passes through the limiting module 34, the pressure rollers 3412 on both sides directly contact the high-speed rail base plate a or the high-speed rail skirt plate b. Due to the shape and thickness of the high-speed rail base plate a or the high-speed rail skirt plate b, the pressure rollers 3412 will be stretched open, the mounting base 3411 will extend and retract, and the spring 3413 will be compressed to maintain a certain clamping force. This ensures that the high-speed rail base plate a and the high-speed rail skirt plate b remain balanced when being brushed by the cleaning roller 321, preventing the problem of some areas not being cleaned due to displacement.

[0031] In this embodiment, the spring roller assembly 341, the spray pipe, and the cleaning roller 321 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction. Preferably, in this embodiment, the spring roller assembly 341, the first spray pipe 331, and the cleaning roller 321 are arranged as follows: spring roller assembly 341, first spray pipe 331, cleaning roller 321, spring roller assembly 341, first spray pipe 331, cleaning roller 321, spring roller assembly 341, first spray pipe 331. Under the above design, the high-speed rail base plate a and the high-speed rail skirt plate b undergo a cleaning process of high-pressure water rinsing, nylon brush wheel brushing, high-pressure water rinsing, nylon brush wheel brushing, and high-pressure water rinsing in sequence. That is, through the process of pre-washing, brushing, and rinsing, the cleaning effect is effectively improved.

[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, the spray module 33 further includes three pairs of opposingly arranged second spray pipes 332; the spray direction of the first spray pipe 331 is inclined upward; the spray direction of the second spray pipe 332 is inclined downward. This further improves the spraying effect and prevents dirt from remaining on the surface.

[0033] In this embodiment, specifically, the conveyor belt 1 is a roller conveyor; the conveyor belt 1 is provided with multiple pairs of opposing positioning rollers 11, and the multiple pairs of positioning rollers 11 are used to keep the high-speed rail base plate a vertically transported along the conveyor belt 1. Under the above design, the positioning rollers 11 keep the high-speed rail base plate a vertically transported on the conveyor belt 1, thereby enabling cleaning of both sides of the high-speed rail base plate a.

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, the cleaning unit 3 further includes a water circulation module 35 for supplying and circulating spray water; the water circulation module 35 includes a circulating water pump 351 and a water collection tank 352; the circulating water pump 351 is used to transfer the spray water in the housing 31 to the spray module 33. More preferably, the bottom of the housing 31 is provided with a drain outlet 311, and the bottom of the housing 31 gradually narrows towards the drain outlet 311.

[0035] In the preferred embodiment described above, the water collection tank 352 is connected to the drain outlet 311 of the casing 31, and the spray water inside the casing 31 is collected by the circulating water pump 351 and transported to the spray module 33 for reuse. Of course, in practical applications, a filter screen can be installed in the water collection tank 352.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the staff to observe the cleaning situation and adjust the water pressure of the spray and the spacing of the cleaning rollers 321, an observation window 312 is provided on the side of the housing 31.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
