And dividing the weld beading into two polishing tracks, and polishing each polishing track from top to bottom to realize continuous automatic polishing of the rail top, the rail waist and the rail bottom. The unit of polishing supports against rail 10 with the flexible power, has avoided the rigidity power to polish and has caused the problem of hard damage to, if the intensity of weld beading is too big, then the unit of polishing skids, avoids polishing unit self to damage.

As shown in fig. 1-8, in some embodiments, belt 1 has simultaneous movement in the longitudinal direction of rail 10 in addition to movement in the transverse direction of rail 10 during transverse grinding.

As shown in fig. 1-7, in some embodiments, abrasive belt 1 is a part of a grinding unit, the grinding unit includes grinding wheel 6 and transmission wheel 4, abrasive belt 1 is tensioned on grinding wheel 6 and transmission wheel 4, abrasive belt 1, grinding wheel 6 and transmission wheel 4 form a belt transmission mechanism, when grinding transversely, the axial direction of grinding wheel 6 is in accordance with the length direction of steel rail 10, grinding wheel 6 is abutted against steel rail 10, abrasive belt 1 is located between grinding wheel 6 and steel rail 10, grinding wheel 6 rotates, and abrasive belt 1 removes weld beading along the tangential direction of grinding wheel 6.

As shown in fig. 1-7, in some embodiments, during cross-track grinding, the force between the grinding wheel 6 and the rail 10 is monitored, and when the monitored force is above a set force threshold, an alarm is generated.

As shown in fig. 1 and 9, in some embodiments, the longitudinal grinding includes grinding of the rail web, grinding of the rail top surface and grinding of the rail bottom surface, grinding of the rail web with a thousand impeller 71, grinding of the rail top surface with a first disc grinding wheel 80, the ground surface of the disc corner grinding wheel being the grinding wheel bottom surface; and (3) polishing the rail bottom surface by adopting a second disc type grinding wheel 90, wherein the polishing surface of the disc type corner grinding wheel is the grinding wheel bottom surface.

As shown in fig. 1 and 9, in some embodiments, a first disc wheel 80 is used to grind the curved surface of the rail web-to-rail-bottom transition, and a second disc wheel 90 is used to grind the curved surface of the rail web-below transition; a first included angle is formed between the first disc-type grinding wheel and the horizontal plane, and the angle of the first included angle is 0-10 degrees; the second disc type grinding wheel forms a second included angle with the horizontal plane, and the angle of the second included angle ranges from 0 degree to 10 degrees.

As shown in fig. 1 and 9, in some embodiments, the second disc wheel 90 has a first abrasive portion concentric with a second abrasive portion, the first abrasive portion being inner and the second abrasive portion being outer; and when the section of the grinding wheel along the axial direction is seen, the second grinding part is in a circular arc shape, and the central angle of the second grinding part on the section of the grinding wheel along the axial direction is consistent with the central angle of the curved surface below the rail top and in transition with the rail waist. The consistency here is not equal in mathematical sense, and means that the central angle of the second grinding part is close to the central angle of the curved surface, and is equal to or smaller than the central angle of the curved surface.

As shown in fig. 1-8, in some embodiments, the portion of sanding wheel 6 in contact with sanding belt 1 is a flexible member; when the grinding wheel 6 is used for grinding the top surface of the rail, the grinding wheel 6 rotates automatically, the grinding wheel 6 feeds to a central line close to the width direction of the steel rail 10 and simultaneously feeds from one side rail web to the other side rail web, and meanwhile, the grinding wheel 6 feeds back and forth along the longitudinal direction of the steel rail 10, and the transverse feeding distance is not less than 35mm; when the grinding wheel 6 grinds the rail web, the grinding wheel 6 rotates, the grinding wheel 6 feeds to the central line close to the width direction of the steel rail 10, the grinding wheel 6 feeds along the height direction along the curved surface of the rail web, meanwhile, the grinding wheel 6 feeds along the steel rail 10 in a longitudinal reciprocating mode, and the transverse feeding distance is not less than 35mm. The limitation of the transverse feeding distance enables the abrasive belt 1 to only remove materials and polish welding beading without damaging the base metal of the steel rail 10.

As shown in fig. 1-8, in some embodiments, the infeed distance is 3.5CM to 5CM. At this transverse feed distance, the weld beading is removed cleanly and does not damage the base material of the steel rail 10.

As shown in fig. 1-8, in some embodiments, after the welded rail 10 is subjected to misalignment detection, the grinding method is used to remove materials and grind the weld beading of the welded rail 10 with qualified misalignment.

As shown in fig. 1-8, in some embodiments, prior to grinding, rail 10 misalignment data is obtained, the high parent material on both sides of the rail 10 weld is found, and grinding wheel 6 is fed laterally from the high parent material to the low parent material. Thus, the purpose of not damaging the base material of the steel rail 10 during transverse grinding is achieved.

As shown in fig. 1-7, in some embodiments, the height difference between the weld and parent material is measured before grinding, and the feed of grinding wheel 6 is less than this height difference to the centerline near the width of rail 10. In some embodiments, the height difference is an average height difference between the weld and the parent material, or the height difference is a lowest height between the weld and the parent material, or the height difference is a median height between the weld and the parent material. Thus, damage to the base material of the rail 10 due to overfeeding is avoided.

As shown in fig. 1-7, in some embodiments, the belt transmission mechanism formed by abrasive belt 1, grinding wheel 6 and transmission wheel 4 is mounted on a support, and when the dead time of the position of abrasive belt 1 in contact with rail 10 exceeds a set time threshold value during the grinding operation, the whole belt transmission mechanism stops feeding in the direction close to rail 10, and the support drives grinding wheel 6 to withdraw in the direction away from rail 10 until the force between grinding wheel 6 and rail 10 is reduced to an allowable range. Therefore, the damage and the failure of the belt transmission mechanism are avoided.

One solution for driving the grinding wheel 6 to retract in a direction away from the rail 10 is as follows: the bracket part for mounting the grinding wheel 6 and the bracket part for mounting the driving wheel 4 are mutually independent, the two bracket parts are connected together through a flexible part or an elastic part, when the stagnation time of the position on the abrasive belt 1, which is in contact with the steel rail 10, does not exceed a set time threshold, the flexible part or the elastic part enables the two bracket parts to keep the relative positions of the grinding wheel 6 and the driving wheel 4 stable, and the grinding wheel 6 realizes grinding operation; when the dead time of the position of abrasive belt 1 in contact with rail 10 exceeds a set time threshold, the flexible or elastic member deforms, causing grinding wheel 6 to move in a direction closer to drive wheel 4.

Another scheme for driving the grinding wheel 6 to retreat away from the steel rail 10 by the bracket is as follows: when the dead time of the position on the abrasive belt 1, which is in contact with the steel rail 10, does not exceed a set time threshold, the flexible piece or the elastic piece enables the relative position of the bracket and the frame to be stable, and the grinding wheel 6 realizes the grinding operation; when the dead time of the position of abrasive belt 1 in contact with steel rail 10 exceeds a set time threshold, the flexible or elastic member deforms, causing the holder to move in a direction closer to the frame. The frame can be connected with a mechanical and automatic feeding power device to realize the feeding of the grinding wheel 6.
