Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of contact wire polishing technology, specifically a rigid contact wire polishing device. Background Technology
[0002] The overhead contact system is the main structure of railway electrification projects. It is erected in a "Z" shape above the rails, supplying power to the electric trains via pantographs mounted on the train's roof. When the train is running, the pantograph and contact wire repeatedly rub against each other, causing frictional wear, hard spots, and unevenness in the contact wire. With the widespread application of rigid contact systems in urban rail construction, their maintenance is particularly important. Therefore, regular grinding and repair are necessary to ensure a smooth and even contact wire surface, reduce contact resistance, and guarantee the stable operation of the power supply system.
[0003] Currently, existing rigid contact wire grinding devices on the market have many limitations. Most traditional grinding devices rely on manual operation, making it difficult to achieve automated grinding. Manual grinding is not only inefficient, but also, due to the physical and attentional limitations of operators, it is impossible to maintain a stable grinding state for a long time, resulting in inconsistent grinding quality and a tendency to over- or under-grind.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a rigid contact wire grinding device includes a detection housing 1. A grinding channel is formed through the top surface of the detection housing 1 along the length of the busbar. A drive unit and a grinding unit are disposed within the grinding channel in the detection housing 1. The drive unit drives the detection housing 1 to move along the busbar. The grinding unit includes a grinding motor mounting base 2, a grinding motor 3, and a grinding head 4. The grinding motor mounting base 2 has a degree of freedom to move along the height direction of the detection housing 1. The grinding motor 3 is mounted on the grinding motor mounting base 2. The output shaft of the grinding motor 3 is connected to a threaded chuck 6 via a coupling 5. The grinding head 4 is coaxially connected to the threaded chuck 6. The drive unit acts on the busbar to drive the contact wire. The entire device moves along the length of the busbar. During this movement, the grinding unit starts, and the grinding head 4 contacts the contact wire 36. The grinding motor 3 drives the grinding head 4 to rotate, thereby achieving automatic grinding of the contact wire 36. This automates the grinding process, significantly reducing manual intervention and increasing grinding efficiency several times compared to traditional manual grinding. Secondly, the grinding motor mounting base 2 is vertically adjustable, allowing for precise and convenient adjustment of the position and grinding depth of the grinding head 4 based on the actual wear of the contact wire. This ensures grinding accuracy, effectively avoiding over-grinding or under-grinding, and extending the service life of the contact wire. Preferably, the grinding head 4 is a scouring pad grinding head.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1As shown, it also includes a chip removal unit, which includes a fan mounting base 32, a fan 33, and a fan protective cover 34. The fan mounting base 32 is installed on the detection box 1, and the fan 33 is installed on the fan mounting base 32. The air outlet of the fan 33 is tilted towards the contact line. The fan protective cover 34 is installed on the back of the fan 33. The fan 33 can blow away the chips generated by grinding in time, avoiding the accumulation of chips that affect the grinding operation and the surface quality of the contact line. It also reduces the cleaning burden and work risks of maintenance personnel.
[0031] Example 3
[0032] Based on Example 2, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the grinding motor mounting base 2 is mounted on the testing box 1 via a linear bearing 7. A screw 8 is rotatably mounted inside the testing box 1. The axes of the screw 8 and the linear bearing 7 are both vertically aligned. The grinding motor mounting base 2 has a threaded hole 9. One end of the screw 8 is threaded into the threaded hole 9, and the other end passes through the bottom of the testing box 1 and is fixedly connected to the adjustment knob 10. The testing box 1 is mounted on the busbar 35. Then, rotating the adjustment knob 10 drives the screw 8 to rotate. Under the action of the linear bearing 7, the rotational freedom of the grinding motor mounting base 2 is restricted, allowing the grinding motor mounting base 2 to move linearly along the axis of the screw 8, so that the grinding head 4 contacts the contact line. This allows the height position of the grinding head 4 to be adjusted according to the actual wear condition of the contact line.
[0033] Example 4
[0034] Based on Example 3, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, two sets of drive units are symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the busbar. Each drive unit includes a fixed support 11, a motor fixed support 12, a drive motor 13, and rollers 14. The fixed support 11 is fixed to the detection housing 1, the motor fixed support 12 is mounted on the fixed support 11, and the drive motor 13 is mounted on the motor fixed support 12. The output shaft of the drive motor 13 is connected to the rollers 14. The rollers 14 of the two drive units are located in grooves on both sides of the busbar. The drive motor 13 drives the rollers 14 to rotate, causing the rollers 14 to move the entire device along the busbar. In a specific implementation, the motor fixed support 12 is not directly connected to the fixed support 11, but is connected to the fixed support 11 through a drive hinge 37. The two hinge ends of the drive hinge 37 are connected to the motor fixed support 12 and the fixed support 11 respectively. The rotation axis of the drive hinge is parallel to the contact line, allowing the motor fixed support 12 to deflect on the fixed support 11. A limiting slot 38 is provided on the top of the support 11. A limiting plate 39 is fixed on the top of the motor fixing support 12. The limiting plate 39 is located in the limiting slot 38. A knob plunger a40 is installed on the fixing support 11. A limiting hole is provided on the limiting plate 39. The positioning pin of the knob plunger a40 is inserted into the limiting hole. The specific process of installing the test box 1 on the busbar is as follows: First, turn the knob plunger a40 to disengage the positioning pin of the knob plunger a40 from the limiting hole, and then unlock the motor fixing support. The rotational freedom between the support 12 and the fixed support 11 allows the motor fixed support 12 to deflect upwards, enabling the busbar to smoothly enter the grinding channel of the test box 1. Then, the motor fixed support 12 rotates back to its original position, allowing the roller 14 to smoothly enter the groove of the busbar. Finally, the knob plunger a40 is turned, causing the positioning pin of the knob plunger a40 to extend into the limiting hole, thereby locking the position of the motor fixed support 12 and enabling the entire device to be smoothly installed on the busbar.
[0035] Example 5
[0036] Based on Example 4, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, it also includes two sets of driven units symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the busbar. The drive unit and the driven units are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the busbar. The driven unit includes a driven wheel seat 15, a driven wheel fixing seat 16 and a driven wheel 17. The driven wheel fixing seat 16 is fixedly installed on the detection box 1, the driven wheel seat 15 is installed on the driven wheel fixing seat 16, and the driven wheel 17 is rotatably installed on the driven wheel seat 15. The drive unit drives the driven wheel 17 in the driven unit to move on the busbar, making the movement of the entire device more stable. The driven wheel mounting base 16 has a mounting slot 18 on its top, and a mounting plate 19 is fixed to the bottom of the driven wheel seat 15. The driven unit also includes a hinge 20 and a knob plunger 21. The two hinged ends of the hinge 20 are respectively connected to the driven wheel mounting base 16 and the driven wheel seat 15. The knob plunger 21 is mounted on the driven wheel mounting base 16. The mounting plate 19 has a positioning hole 22. The positioning pin of the knob plunger 21 is conical, and the small-diameter end of the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole 22. When the grinding device is installed on the busbar, the driven unit also needs to be adjusted. Specifically... First, turn the knob plunger 21 to disengage the locating pin of the knob plunger 21 from the locating hole 22, unlocking the rotational freedom between the driven wheel seat 15 and the driven wheel fixed seat 16, causing the driven wheel seat 15 to deflect upwards, so that the busbar can smoothly enter the grinding channel of the test box 1. Then, the driven wheel seat 15 rotates back to its original position, so that the driven wheel 17 can smoothly enter the groove of the busbar. Finally, turn the knob plunger 21 to extend the locating pin of the knob plunger 21 into the locating hole, thereby locking the position of the driven wheel seat 15, so that the entire device can be smoothly installed on the busbar.
[0037] Example 6
[0038] Based on Example 5, such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, it also includes multiple sets of guide units arranged along the length of the busbar. Each guide unit includes two sets of guide assemblies symmetrically arranged along the width of the busbar. Each guide assembly includes a guide wheel base 23, a first single-headed toothed shaft 24, a second single-headed toothed shaft 25, a guide wheel mounting seat 26, a double-cut flange linear bearing 27, and a guide wheel 28. The guide wheel base 23 is fixedly mounted on the detection housing 1. The first single-headed toothed shaft 24 is mounted on the top surface of the guide wheel base 23. The double-cut flange linear bearing 27 is mounted on the guide wheel mounting seat 26 and is fitted onto the first single-headed toothed shaft 24. One end of the second single-headed toothed shaft 25 is connected to the guide wheel mounting seat 26, and the other end is connected to the guide wheel 28. The guide assembly also includes a spring 29, which is fitted onto the first single-headed toothed shaft 24. A washer 30 is fixedly sleeved on the single-headed toothed shaft 24. The two ends of the spring 29 are respectively connected to the washer 30 and the guide wheel mounting seat 26. The guide assembly also includes a bearing 31. The guide wheel 28 is fixedly sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing 31. The bearing 31 is sleeved on the second single-headed toothed shaft 25. Under the action of the double-cut flange linear bearing 27, the guide wheel mounting seat 26 can move up and down on the first single-headed toothed shaft 24. When installing the grinding device, the guide wheel mounting seat 26 moves downward to compress the spring 29, so that the guide wheel 28 can move smoothly to the bottom of the manifold. After the grinding device is installed, the guide wheel 28 moves upward under the action of the spring 29, so that the guide wheel 28 enters the bottom groove 41 of the manifold. With the cooperation of the guide wheel 28 and the bottom groove 41, the entire device is ensured to move along the direction of the manifold 35.
