Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for railway sleeper laying, and in particular relates to a printing component and a marking device for high-speed railway sleeper laying. Background Technology
[0002] After prolonged use, the sleepers between the two rails of a high-speed railway need to be replaced. During sleeper replacement, to ensure workers can accurately and evenly arrange the sleepers under the rails, marks need to be made on both rails. These two marks must be on a straight line, and the direction of this line must be the normal to the curve of the double rails. The most traditional method is for one team to make two marks on one side of the rail using a paint pen and a measuring tape, and then another team to make two more marks on the other side using a paint pen and a right-angled square. This method requires a large amount of manpower each time, resulting in high labor intensity and occupational diseases for workers over many years. Furthermore, the accuracy of the marking spacing cannot be guaranteed.
[0003] To address this technical problem, an auxiliary pillow-changing interval marking device has been developed, as exemplified by Chinese utility model patent application number 2023214983686, filed on June 13, 2023. This marking device has a relatively long spraying time (0.2-0.4 seconds), requiring the machine to be stopped for spraying; otherwise, it will cause dragging and streaking of the lines. Furthermore, it uses a flat, single-hole nozzle, resulting in unevenly sprayed lines that are wider in the middle and narrower at both ends.
[0004] Therefore, addressing the shortcomings of the existing technologies has become the focus of efforts for those skilled in the field. Utility Model Content

There are eight nozzles 45, and each nozzle 45 is equipped with a corresponding miniature solenoid valve 46. The bottom surface of the base plate 42 has an upper groove 48 corresponding to the groove 44. The groove 44 and the upper groove 48 together form a cavity for containing ink.
[0030] The ink bottle 3 contains ink and has a cap. The tube connecting to the ink inlet connector 47 is connected to the ink bottle 3 by inserting a needle 49 into the cap.
[0031] The miniature solenoid valve 46 includes a fixed core 4601, a moving core 4602, an electromagnetic coil 4603, and a compression spring 4604. A vertical plate 50 is mounted on the base plate 42, and a mounting block 51 is provided on the top of the vertical plate 50. A steel sleeve 52 is provided between the base plate 42 and the mounting block 51. The fixed core 4601 is vertically fixed on the mounting block 51 and passes through the sleeve 52 from top to bottom. The moving core 4602 is movably fitted in the sleeve 52, and there is a gap between its top end and the bottom end of the fixed core 4601. Its bottom end extends into the groove 44 and corresponds to the nozzle 45. The electromagnetic coil 4603 is sleeved on the sleeve 52. A limiting sleeve 4605 is provided on the moving core 4602. A compression spring 4604 is provided between the limiting sleeve 4605 and the bottom surface of the base plate 42. The compression spring 4604 is sleeved on the moving core 4602. The compression spring 4604 presses the bottom end of the moving core 4602 tightly against the top of the nozzle 45, blocking the spray orifice of the nozzle 45. A rubber block 4606, which is cylindrical, is installed at the bottom end of the moving core 4602. The rubber block 4606 is in close contact with the nozzle 45, completely sealing the spray orifice. The orifice diameter of the nozzle 45 is 0.1-0.3 mm, preferably 0.15 mm in this embodiment.
[0032] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic coil 4603 includes a frame 4603-1 and a coil 4603-2. The coil 4603-2 is sleeved on the frame 4603-1. A limiting plate 53 is installed on the side wall of the upright plate 50. The top and bottom ends of the limiting plate 53 are provided with flanges 54. The flanges 54 are connected to the upright plate 50, forming a limiting space 55 between the limiting plate 53 and the upright plate 50. The frame 4603-1 is limited in the limiting space 55.
[0033] In this embodiment, the upright plate 50 is provided with insertion holes, and the upper and lower sides of the frame 4603-1 are provided with insertion strips 56. The insertion strips 56 are inserted into the insertion holes, thereby fixing the frame 4603-1 to the side of the upright plate 50.

[0035] A high-speed railway sleeper laying marking device includes a main unit and an auxiliary unit 58, with the printing components described above installed at the bottom of the main unit and the auxiliary unit 58 respectively.
[0036] The auxiliary machine 58 has two parallel sliding grooves 59 on its bottom surface. A slider 60 slides within the sliding grooves 59. The printing assembly is connected to the slider 60 via a connecting block 61. A locking screw 62 is installed on the slider 60. The position of the printing assembly can be adjusted by sliding the slider 60 in the sliding grooves 59. When the printing assembly on the auxiliary machine 58 and the main machine is on the same horizontal line, the locking screw 62 is tightened to fix the slider 60.
[0037] In this embodiment, a protective plate can also be provided, which is installed on the bottom surface of the valve plate 43 by screws, so as to protect the nozzle 45 when the equipment is not working and play a role in dust prevention.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] Both the miniature air compressor 1 and the miniature solenoid valve 46 are powered by the aforementioned high-speed railway sleeper marking equipment, using lead-acid or lithium-ion DC batteries as their power source. The miniature air compressor 1 generates high-pressure air, which enters the internal cavity of the ink bottle 3 through a pipeline. Simultaneously, a branch of the pipeline connects to the pressure switch 2. When the pressure reaches a set value, the pressure switch 2 circuit disconnects the power to the miniature air compressor 1, preventing it from supplying air. When the pressure is insufficient, the pressure switch 2 reconnects the power to the miniature air compressor 1, allowing it to supply air to the ink bottle 3. The pressure then pushes the ink in the ink bottle 3 through the needle 49 and the pipeline via the ink inlet connector 47 into the groove 44. The miniature solenoid valve 46 controls the nozzle 45 to open, and ink is ejected from the eight nozzles 45, forming a straight line. Because the printing time is extremely short (only about 0.02 seconds), the entire device can operate without stopping, and there are no line dragging or streaks. Furthermore, this straight line is formed by eight nozzles of uniform size, thus ensuring a uniform and regular straight line.
[0040] The principle of miniature solenoid valve 46 controlling the opening or closing of the nozzle:
[0041] The control system briefly applies direct current to the control coil 4603-2, generating a magnetic field that magnetizes the stationary core 4601 and the moving core 4602. Due to the gap between them, the stationary core 4601 remains stationary. When both are magnetized, the stationary core 4601 attracts the moving core 4602, pulling it upwards. This causes the rubber block 4606 blocking the nozzle 45 to move upwards, allowing ink to be ejected from the nozzle orifice. Because the energization time of the coil 4603-2 is extremely short, when the power is cut off, the magnetic field disappears, the moving core 4602 is pushed downwards by the compression spring 4604 to reset, and the rubber block 4606 re-seals the nozzle orifice.
