Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turnout snow removal technology, specifically a turnout snow removal device with antifreeze power cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Railway turnouts are key pieces of equipment in a track system, used to guide trains from one track to another, enabling flexible switching and crossing of lines. They consist of switches (point rail, stock rail), frogs (frog rail, wing rail), connecting parts, and sleepers, and change the train's direction of travel through mechanical or electric control of the point rail movement. To ensure safety during track switching, snow accumulation on the turnouts needs to be cleared.
[0003] In the prior art, the authorized announcement number CN206233169U discloses a snow removal machine for railway turnouts, including an air supply pipe, at least one blower pipe disposed on the air supply pipe, a fan disposed at one end of the air supply pipe, and a signal receiver connected to the fan. The blower pipe is disposed below the air supply pipe, a solar panel is disposed on the surface of the air supply pipe, and a battery is disposed on the air supply pipe. The battery is connected to the solar panel and the fan.
[0004] The aforementioned equipment uses air ducts to blow away accumulated snow. However, the airflow generated by the blower is relatively slow. To increase the airflow speed, the blower can be replaced with a compressor and air tank. However, the compressor compresses moisture in the air during operation, requiring an automatic drainage device and self-insulation to prevent moisture from freezing in the air tank and pipelines. Therefore, an anti-freeze power cabinet for a turnout snow removal device is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an antifreeze power cabinet for a turnout snow removal device to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a turnout snow removal device antifreeze power cabinet, comprising a power cabinet body, a cabinet door rotatably mounted on the power cabinet body, a compressor and a gas tank fixedly mounted inside the power cabinet body, insulation boards fixedly mounted on the inner walls of both the power cabinet body and the cabinet door, a heating lamp fixedly mounted on the cabinet door, a temperature control switch connected to the heating lamp, a drainage assembly mounted at the bottom of the gas tank, the drainage assembly including a drain outlet fixedly mounted at the bottom of the gas tank, a drain pipe fixedly mounted at the lower end of the drain outlet, an insulation sleeve fitted on the drain pipe, and a drying mechanism mounted on the drain pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the drainage assembly includes a mounting bracket fixedly installed at the upper end of the drain outlet and a sealing plug slidably installed at the upper end of the drain outlet. An armature block is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sealing plug, an electromagnet is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket, and a spring is provided inside the mounting bracket.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting bracket has an installation opening at its upper end, the electromagnet is installed on the upper end of the mounting bracket through the installation opening, and the electromagnet and the armature block are aligned vertically. The cabinet door is equipped with a hinge, and the cabinet door is rotated and installed on the power cabinet body through the hinge.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly installed on the sealing plug, the other end of the spring is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket, the lower end of the drain outlet is provided with a thread, and the drain pipe is connected to the drain outlet by the thread.
[0010] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes a heating wire fixedly installed in the drain outlet, a wire connected to the heating wire, a power source connected to the wire, a lower contact connected to the sealing plug, an insulating support fixedly installed on the mounting bracket, an upper contact fixedly installed at the lower end of the insulating support, and wires connected to the upper and lower contacts respectively.
[0011] Preferably, the heating wire and the power source are connected in series via a wire.
[0012] Preferably, the upper contact is installed in the mounting bracket through an insulating support, and the upper contact and the lower contact are aligned vertically. The drain outlet is provided with a slot, and the heating wire is installed in the drain outlet through the slot.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. In this application, the compressor and gas tank can be integrated inside the power cabinet body. The insulation board inside the power cabinet body can reduce heat loss and prevent the moisture inside the gas tank and pipes from freezing. In addition, when the temperature of the power cabinet body drops to a set threshold, the temperature control switch will activate the heating lamp to maintain a suitable temperature inside the cabinet and ensure the normal operation of the equipment in extreme environments.
[0015] 2. In this application, when the sealing plug moves upward, the drain outlet will open to drain the accumulated water. Simultaneously, the upward movement of the sealing plug will drive the lower contact upward until it contacts the upper contact. This contact energizes the heating wire, causing the temperature to rise. After the water in the gas tank is completely drained, the gas inside the tank will also be discharged through the drain outlet. The discharged gas is heated as it passes through the heating wire, forming a high-temperature airflow that dries the water droplets on the inner wall of the drain pipe, thus preventing the drain pipe from freezing.

[0021] 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.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for an antifreeze power cabinet for a turnout snow removal device, including a power cabinet body 2, a cabinet door 9 rotatably mounted on the power cabinet body 2, a compressor 1 and a gas tank 3 fixedly mounted inside the power cabinet body 2, insulation boards 4 fixedly mounted on the inner walls of both the power cabinet body 2 and the cabinet door 9, a heating lamp 6 fixedly mounted on the cabinet door 9, a temperature control switch 5 connected to the heating lamp 6, a drainage component 7 installed at the bottom of the gas tank 3, and a drying mechanism 8 installed on the drain pipe 705. Through the cooperation of the drainage component 7 and the drying mechanism 8, the drain pipe 705 can be prevented from freezing.
[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drainage assembly 7 includes a drain outlet 704 fixedly installed at the bottom of the gas tank 3, a drain pipe 705 fixedly installed at the lower end of the drain outlet 704, and an insulation sleeve 708 fitted on the drain pipe 705. The drainage assembly 7 includes a mounting bracket 706 fixedly installed at the upper end of the drain outlet 704 and a sealing plug 703 slidably installed at the upper end of the drain outlet 704. An armature block 707 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sealing plug 703. An electromagnet 701 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 706. A spring 702 is provided inside the mounting bracket 706. An installation opening is provided at the upper end of the mounting bracket 706. The electromagnet 701 is installed at the upper end of the mounting bracket 706 through the installation opening, and the electromagnet 701 is vertically aligned with the armature block 707.
[0024] Specifically, when electromagnet 701 is activated, it attracts armature block 707 via magnetic force, causing sealing plug 703 to move upward. As sealing plug 703 moves upward, drain port 704 is opened, allowing water to drain smoothly. Once electromagnet 701 is deactivated, spring 702, losing the attraction of electromagnet 701, applies downward pressure, pushing sealing plug 703 back to its original position. The downward movement of sealing plug 703 re-closes drain port 704, ensuring that gas cannot escape through drain port 704, thus effectively preventing gas leakage.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the drying mechanism 8 includes a heating wire 801 fixedly installed in the drain outlet 704, a wire 802 connected to the heating wire 801, a power supply 803 connected to the wire 802, a lower contact 804 connected to the sealing plug 703, an insulating support 806 fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 706, an upper contact 805 fixedly installed at the lower end of the insulating support 806, and the wire 802 is connected to the upper contact 805 and the lower contact 804 respectively. The heating wire 801 and the power supply 803 are connected in series through the wire 802.
[0026] Specifically, as the sealing plug 703 begins to move upward, it simultaneously moves the lower contact 804 upward as well. As the lower contact 804 rises, it eventually contacts the upper contact 805. This contact action closes the circuit, allowing the heating wire 801 to receive current and begin operation. Once energized, the heating wire 801's temperature gradually increases. Simultaneously, if the water inside the gas canister 3 has been completely drained, the gas inside the canister will also be discharged through the drain port 704. The discharged gas is heated as it passes through the heating wire 801, becoming a high-temperature airflow. This high-temperature airflow then passes through the drain pipe 705, effectively drying any water droplets that may be present on the inner wall of the drain pipe 705, preventing the drain pipe 705 from freezing in cold conditions.
[0027] Working principle: When in use, the compressor 1 and the gas tank 3 can be installed inside the power cabinet body 2. The insulation board 4 inside the power cabinet body 2 can reduce heat loss and prevent the water in the gas tank 3 and pipes from freezing. When the temperature inside the power cabinet body 2 is low, the temperature control switch 5 can control the heating lamp 6 to work, thereby increasing the internal temperature of the power cabinet body 2 and ensuring that the entire equipment can work normally under extreme conditions. Furthermore, after the electromagnet 701 is activated, it will attract the armature block 707, causing the sealing plug 703 to move upward. After the sealing plug 703 moves upward, the drain port 704 will be in an open state, thereby draining the water accumulated in the drain port 704. When the sealing plug 703 moves upward, it will also drive the lower contact 804 to move upward. After the lower contact 804 moves upward, it will abut against the upper contact 805, energizing the heating wire 801. After the heating wire 801 is energized, the temperature will rise. When the water in the gas tank 3 is completely drained, the gas inside will also be discharged through the drain port 704. The discharged gas will be heated by the heating wire 801, causing the high-temperature airflow to pass through the drain pipe 705, drying the water droplets on the inner wall of the drain pipe 705 and preventing the drain pipe 705 from freezing.
[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
