Description

Integrated installation / retrieval device for thermal insulation fabric components

[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated device for installing and retrieving a heat-insulating fabric member, which installs a heat-insulating fabric member on a railway rail or retrieves a heat-insulating fabric member installed on a railway rail.

[0002] Railway rails exposed to the elements expand and contract depending on the temperature. High summer temperatures raise the temperature of the rails, leading to thermal expansion that can cause the rails to warp. Since this expansion can lead to derailment, operating agencies limit the maximum operating speed of railway vehicles based on rail temperature. Accordingly, various methods have been employed to mitigate the effects of temperature on railway rails, and applying heat-reflective paint is one of them.

[0003] However, applying heat-reflective paint requires using a dedicated vehicle to remove rust from certain parts of the railway and applying a specific amount of paint, making the procedure complex and time-consuming. Additionally, while there is some technological development regarding automation devices, multiple devices are required to apply the paint evenly, and manufacturing such automated devices is practically difficult. Therefore, it is not easy to efficiently and uniformly apply the optimal paint thickness to railway rails.

[0004] As such, most of the currently applied heat-insulating paints and coating devices have problems such as a complex coating process, difficulty in applying a uniform thickness, and paint peeling due to external factors.

[0005] In other words, since currently used heat-insulating paints and coating devices cause various problems, it is necessary to use materials that have a simple coating method and are resistant to external factors.

[0026] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, the present invention will describe an integrated device (10) for installing / retrieving a heat-insulating fabric member (hereinafter referred to as the 'integrated device (10)') according to one embodiment.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 1, the integrated device (10) includes a main body (100), a first installation / retrieval module (200), and a second installation / retrieval module (300).

[0028] Referring to FIG. 3, the main body (100) has a predetermined area and travels on a rail. For example, the main body (100) may be formed in a rectangular plate shape and may be manufactured to be larger than or equal to the distance between the first rail (20) and the second rail (30).

[0029] A controller (400) for controlling the modules of the integrated device (10) may be located on the upper part of the main body (100). For example, the controller (400) may have a configuration for controlling the modules of the integrated device (10) implemented inside. In detail, the controller (400) controls the operation of the drive unit (110), the first and second installation / retrieval modules (200, 300), and the first and second cleaning modules (500, 600), and in detail, can control the operation of the integrated device (10), the cleaning of the first and second rails (20, 30), and the installation / retrieval operation of the heat-insulating fabric member (50).

[0030] Additionally, the controller (400) may include an operating part for operating the integrated device (10) and a display capable of displaying the status of the integrated device (10), but is not limited thereto.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 3, the main body (100) may have at least one mounting column (120) formed therein for fixing a heat-insulating fabric roll (40). The heat-insulating fabric roll (40) has a heat-insulating fabric member (50) wound around it, is formed in a roll shape, and may have a hole formed in the center so that it can be inserted into the mounting column (120). In other words, a plurality of heat-insulating fabric rolls (40) can be inserted into the mounting column (120) and stacked for storage.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 4, the main body (100) may include a plurality of drive units (110) for driving on a rail. Four drive units (110) may be located at each lower corner of the main body (100), but the number of drive units (110) is not limited thereto.

[0033] Additionally, the drive unit (110) may include a drive motor (112) and a wheel (114) that rotates on a rail and is rotated by the drive motor (112). The drive motor (112) is connected to a controller (400) and can be operated according to a drive command from the controller (400). At this time, as the wheel (114) connected to the drive motor (112) rotates, the integrated device (10) can be moved forward or backward. In other words, when the integrated device (10) installs a heat-insulating fabric member (50), the wheel (114) rotates to drive to the rear of the integrated device (10), and when the heat-insulating fabric member (50) is retrieved, the wheel (114) rotates in the opposite direction to drive to the front of the integrated device (10).

[0034] Referring again to FIG. 1, the first installation / retrieval module (200) is coupled to one side of the main body (100) to handle the installation and retrieval of the heat-insulating fabric member (50) on the first rail (20), and the second installation / retrieval module (300) is coupled to the other side of the main body (100) to handle the installation and retrieval of the heat-insulating fabric member (50) on the second rail (30).

[0035] Referring to FIG. 5, the first installation / retrieval module (200) may include a guide portion (210) that extends a predetermined length along the rail direction toward the front of the integrated device (10), and a heat-insulating fabric roll mounting portion (220, 230) coupled to one side of the guide portion (210).

[0036] The guide portion (210) may be formed with an open bottom and in a shape that surrounds the first rail (20). Additionally, referring to FIG. 6, the guide portion (210) may include at least one guide wheel (212) that rotates in contact with the upper surface of the head of the first rail (20).

[0037] The first installation / retrieval module (200) may include a first heat-insulating fabric roll mounting part (220) coupled inwardly to the first rail (20) and a second heat-insulating fabric roll mounting part (230) coupled outwardly to the first rail (20).

[0038] Referring to FIG. 6, each thermal insulation fabric roll mounting part (220, 230) includes a roll drive motor (222, 232), and the roll drive motor (222, 232) can rotate in opposite directions during the installation operation of the thermal insulation fabric member (50) and the retrieval operation of the thermal insulation fabric. Specifically, the thermal insulation fabric roll mounting part (220, 230) can rotate the thermal insulation fabric roll (40) counterclockwise so that the thermal insulation fabric member (50) is unwound by the roll drive motor (222, 232) during the installation operation of the thermal insulation fabric member (50), and rotate the thermal insulation fabric roll (40) clockwise so that the thermal insulation fabric member (50) is wound by the roll drive motor (222, 232) during the retrieval operation of the thermal insulation fabric member (50).

[0039] The first installation / retrieval module (200) may further include a fabric processing unit (240) that is coupled to the front end of the guide unit (210) and presses the heat-insulating fabric member (50) so that the heat-insulating fabric member (50) is attached to the first rail (20).

[0040] The fabric processing unit (240) may include a first attachment roller (242) that presses the heat-insulating fabric member (50) so that the heat-insulating fabric member (50) is attached to the inner surface of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20), and a second attachment roller (244) that presses the heat-insulating fabric member (50) so that the heat-insulating fabric member (50) is attached to the outer surface of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20). For example, the first attachment roller (242) and the second attachment roller (244) are formed in a cylindrical shape and may be elastically supported through an elastic member having elastic force, such as a spring, to stably press the heat-insulating fabric member (50).

[0041] In other words, the first attachment roller (242) can attach a heat-insulating fabric member (50) provided from a heat-insulating fabric roll (40) mounted on the first heat-insulating fabric roll mounting part (220) to the inner side of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20), and the second attachment roller (244) can attach a heat-insulating fabric member (50) provided from a heat-insulating fabric roll (40) mounted on the second heat-insulating fabric roll mounting part (230) to the outer side of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20).

[0042] Additionally, the fabric processing section (240) may include a first recovery guide (not shown) formed in a plate shape and folded toward the inner surface of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20), and a second recovery guide (not shown) formed in a plate shape and folded toward the outer surface of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20).

[0043] The first recovery guide guides the movement of a heat-insulating fabric member (50) attached to the inner surface of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20), and the recovered heat-insulating fabric member (50) can be provided to a heat-insulating fabric roll (40) mounted on the first heat-insulating fabric roll mounting part (220) and wound onto the heat-insulating fabric roll (40) to be recovered. Additionally, the second recovery guide guides the movement of a heat-insulating fabric member (50) attached to the outer surface of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20), and the recovered heat-insulating fabric member (50) can be provided to a heat-insulating fabric roll (40) mounted on the second heat-insulating fabric roll mounting part (230) and wound onto the heat-insulating fabric roll (40) to be recovered.

[0044] When installing the heat-insulating fabric member (50), the first installation / retrieval module (200) can mount the first attachment roller (242) and the second attachment roller (244) on the guide section (210), and when retrieving the heat-insulating fabric member (50), the first retrieval guide and the second retrieval guide can be mounted on the guide section (210). In other words, the first installation / retrieval module (200) can use the attachment roller (242, 244) or the retrieval guide interchangeably depending on the operation (installation or retrieval).

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the first installation / retrieval module (200) may further include at least one fabric guide (250) that guides the transfer of a heat-insulating fabric member (50) between a fabric processing unit (240) and a heat-insulating fabric roll mounting unit (220, 230). Additionally, when a plurality of fabric guides (250) are provided, the plurality of fabric guides (250) may be provided spaced apart by a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction of the guide unit (210).

[0046] Additionally, the fabric guide (250) can guide the movement of the heat-insulating fabric member (50) by having two cylindrical members (252) positioned adjacent to each other and passing the heat-insulating fabric member (50) between the cylindrical members (252) to move to the heat-insulating fabric roll (40) or fabric processing unit (240).

[0047] The second installation / retrieval module (300) is a module for installing a heat-insulating fabric member (50) on the second rail (30) or retrieving a heat-insulating fabric member (50) attached to the second rail (30), and since it has the same configuration as the first installation / retrieval module (200), a detailed description is omitted.

[0048] Referring again to FIG. 2, the integrated device (10) may include a first cleaning module (500) and a second cleaning module (600) for removing foreign matter located on a first rail (20) and a second rail (30). At this time, the first and second cleaning modules (500, 600) may be in close contact with the rails (20, 30) to remove foreign matter from the rails (20, 30) when the integrated device (10) installs a heat-insulating fabric member (50), and may be separated from the rails (20, 30) when the heat-insulating fabric member (50) is retrieved. To this end, the first and second cleaning modules (500, 600) may be installed to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the rails (20, 30), but are not limited thereto.

[0049] The first cleaning module (500) is coupled to the opposite side of the first installation / retrieval module (200) facing the rear of the integrated device (10) and can be positioned on one side and the other side of the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20), respectively.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 7, each first cleaning module (500) may include a brush part (510), a brush motor (520), and a suction part (530).

[0051] The brush portion (510) is, for example, formed in a circular shape and can be in close contact with the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20).

[0052] The brush motor (520) can rotate the brush portion (510). In other words, as the brush portion (510) is in close contact with the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20) and rotated by the brush motor (520), foreign matter located on the abdomen (22) of the first rail (20) can be removed.

[0053] The suction part (530) can suck in foreign matter removed by the brush part (510) and discharge it to the outside. For example, the suction part (530) may have a suction port (532) facing the direction where the brush part (510) is located, and a discharge port (not shown) facing outward with respect to the first rail (20).

[0054] The second cleaning module (600) is coupled to the opposite side of the second installation / retrieval module (300) facing the rear of the integrated device (10) and can be positioned on one side and the other side of the abdomen (32) of the second rail (30), respectively.

[0055] Each second cleaning module (600) may include a brush section (510), a brush motor (520), and a suction section (530). Since the second cleaning module (600) has the same configuration as the first cleaning module (500), a detailed description will be omitted.

[0056] Additionally, the integrated device (10) can be disassembled into multiple modules, and a handle (700) for gripping each module can be attached to each module. In other words, the integrated device (10) can transport each module in a disassembled state and assemble multiple modules at a location where rails (20, 30) are located. At this time, each module has a handle (700) attached to it, so that the user can easily transport and assemble them.

[0057] The foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will understand that other specific forms can be easily modified without altering the technical concept or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single unit may be implemented in a distributed manner, and components described as distributed may likewise be implemented in a combined form.

[0058] The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims set forth below rather than by the detailed description above, and all modifications or variations derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and the concept of equivalents thereof should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the present invention.
