Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of special tools for cleaning slag between tracks, specifically a track slag loosening device. Background Technology
[0002] In mine rail transport operations, mine cars loaded with ore may leave some slag in the middle of the track due to their high speed. When the accumulated slag is higher than the rail surface, it will create resistance to vehicle operation and may even cause the vehicle to derail. Therefore, when the accumulated slag in the middle of the track exceeds the limit, it must be loosened and cleaned regularly. During regular track cleaning operations, manual excavation is generally used, employing tools such as triangular hoes or pickaxes. This method involves a large number of personnel, is labor-intensive, and has low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a track slag loosening device with a simple structure and easy operation, so as to solve the problems of large number of personnel, high labor intensity and low efficiency in the operation of regularly loosening and cleaning track slag.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a track slag loosening device, comprising a hinge, a base, a rake plate, and a rake. The base is hinged to the rake plate via a hinge, and two evenly distributed buffer devices are provided between the base and the rake plate. Multiple evenly distributed rakes are fixedly locked on the rake plate. The base has a main plane at the top, a hinged edge at the bottom, and mounting holes at the handle. The main plane also has two evenly distributed tie rod holes and multiple evenly distributed U-shaped slots. The rake plate is provided with a rake plate hinge edge, two evenly distributed tie rod holes, and multiple evenly distributed rake holes.
[0005] Furthermore, the buffer device provided between the main plane of the base and the rake plate includes a spring, a tie rod nut, and a tie rod. The tie rod passes through the corresponding tie rod hole of the rake plate, the spring, and the tie rod hole of the base in sequence, and is threadedly connected to the tie rod nut.
[0006] Furthermore, the hinges are welded and fixed at corresponding positions on the hinged edges of the rake plate and the base.
[0007] Furthermore, the rake rod is inserted into the rake rod hole of the rake rod plate, and the rake rod is fixed and locked to the rake rod plate by two rake rod nuts.
[0008] Furthermore, the tip of the rake is the working part, and the threaded end is the locking and adjustment part. The threaded end moves regularly in the corresponding U-shaped opening groove of the main plane of the base.
[0009] Furthermore, there are three rakes, which are fixed and locked in relative positions on the rake plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the track slag loosener is fixedly connected to the track car through the base mounting holes.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a track slag loosener with a simple structure and convenient operation. During the operation of regularly cleaning track slag, the track slag loosener is assembled on the locomotive bumper and powered by the locomotive. It has the characteristics of convenient assembly, fewer operators, low labor intensity and high slag removal efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0014] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a track slag loosening device includes a hinge 3, a base 4, a rake plate 6, and a rake 7. The base 4 is hinged to the rake plate 6 via a hinge 3, and two evenly distributed buffer devices are provided between the base 4 and the rake plate 6. Multiple evenly distributed rakes 7 are fixedly locked on the rake plate 6. The base 4 has a base main plane 10 on the upper part, a base hinge edge 13 on the lower part, and a base mounting hole 5 on the handle; the base main plane 10 also has two evenly distributed base tie rod holes 11 and multiple evenly distributed U-shaped opening grooves 12. The rake plate 6 is provided with a rake plate hinge edge 16, two evenly distributed pull rod holes 14, and multiple evenly distributed rake holes 15.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the buffer device provided between the main plane 10 of the base and the rake plate 6 includes a spring 1, a pull rod nut 2, and a pull rod 8. The pull rod 8 passes through the corresponding pull rod hole 14 of the rake plate 6, the spring 1, and the pull rod hole 11 of the base in sequence, and is threadedly connected to the pull rod nut 2. In this embodiment, the pull rod 8 passes sequentially through the corresponding pull rod hole 14 of the rake plate 6, the spring 1, and the base pull rod hole 11, and is threadedly connected to the pull rod nut 2, pressing the spring 1 between the main plane 10 of the base and the rake plate 6, thus forming a shock absorption and buffering effect.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the hinges 3 are welded and fixed at corresponding positions on the rake plate hinge side 16 and the base hinge side 13 respectively; in this embodiment, the rake plate hinge side 16 and the base hinge side 13 rotate through the hinges 3.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the rake 7 is inserted into the rake hole 15 of the rake plate 6 and is fixed and locked onto the rake plate 6 by two rake nuts 9. In this embodiment, the rake 7 is inserted into the rake hole 15 of the rake plate 6. Two rake nuts 9, which are threaded to the threaded end of the rake 7, are respectively set on the front and back sides of the rake plate 6. By tightening the two rake nuts 9, the rake 7 is fixed and locked in the rake hole 15 of the rake plate 6, and the extension length of the rake 7 can also be adjusted.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the tip of the rake 7 is the working part, and the threaded end is the locking and adjustment part. Its threaded end moves regularly in the U-shaped opening groove 12 of the corresponding base main plane 10. In this embodiment, during the process of loosening and cleaning the track slag, the rake 7 is impacted by the slag, causing the spring 1 to compress and deform, which plays a role in shock absorption and buffering. During the compression and deformation of the spring 1, the rake plate 6 and the base 4 rotate through the hinge 3, which simultaneously drives the rake 7 on the rake plate 6 to move. The threaded end of the rake 7 also moves regularly in the U-shaped opening groove 12 of the main plane 10 of the base.
[0020] like Figure 1As shown, there are three rakes 7, which are fixed and locked in relative positions to the rake plate 6.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the track slag loosener is fixedly connected to the track mine car through the base mounting hole 5.
[0022] In this implementation plan, during the regular cleaning and loosening of track slag, the track slag loosener is installed on the rail car bumper through the base mounting hole 5, and the mine car is used as the power source to loosen and clean the slag on the mine track, which reduces the number of operators, reduces labor intensity, and increases slag cleaning efficiency.
[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the technical concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
