Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for smoothly cutting a lower surface of a trolley wire that is a sliding surface with a pantograph of a trolley wire.

For example, the rigid trolley wire has a T-shaped cross section, is composed of a long conductor having a relatively large cross-sectional area and is not easily deformed, and is fixed to the tunnel ceiling. Driving electric power is supplied to the train via a pantograph that slides on the lower surface of the trolley wire. On the lower surface of the trolley wire, irregularities at the welding seam and supporting point, initial irregularities due to construction errors, and subsequent irregularities such as wavy wear due to sliding of the pantograph are generated. If there is such unevenness, the contact between the lower surface of the trolley wire and the pantograph becomes incomplete, and the power supply becomes unstable, so it is necessary to maintain and manage it so that it is cut and smoothed periodically. is there.
A conventional trolley wire sliding surface cutting device is provided with a frame body that can be moved up and down on a carriage that can run on a track, and a pair of front and rear push-up rollers are horizontally supported on the frame body, and a vertical position is set between the push-up rollers. There is a tool that cuts the trolley wire by providing a grindstone that can be changed horizontally and that can be rotated horizontally by a motor, and pressing the grindstone against the lower surface (sliding surface) of the trolley wire (Patent Document 1).

In the conventional trolley wire sliding surface cutting device, the cutting operation is performed while the carriage is running. When the carriage stops at the end portion of the trolley line, if the grindstone is kept in contact with the trolley line, the trolley line May form minute irregularities or damage the trolley wire, impairing the smoothness of the sliding surface. Such irregularities may cause incomplete contact between the trolley wire and the pantograph, or may cause separation. An arc may occur, which may cause discomfort to passengers.
Therefore, the present invention provides a trolley wire slide that automatically removes the grindstone from the trolley wire in a decelerated state before the carriage stops at the end of the trolley wire, etc., ensuring smoothness of the trolley wire, and reducing the work load. It is an object to provide a moving surface cutting device.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the first invention, when the traveling speed of the carriage 2 is detected by the speed sensor 14 and a predetermined speed in the middle of deceleration before the carriage 2 is stopped is detected by the speed sensor 14, The sliding surface cutting device 1 for the trolley wire T was configured so that the grindstone 16 was disposed at a height position away from the trolley wire T by the adjusting mechanism 18.
In the second invention, on the frame body, a roller 10 is provided horizontally in a direction orthogonal to the track so as to push up the trolley wire T, and a plurality of slits 10b are provided on the outer periphery of the roller 10 at one or equal intervals, The speed sensor 14 disposed so as to face the push-up roller 10 detects the slit 10b, and by counting this, the travel speed of the carriage 2 traveling on the track is calculated, and the controller lowers the grindstone 16 to the position adjustment mechanism 18. Configured to work.

  In the present invention, when performing a cutting operation while running the carriage on the track and stopping the carriage at the end of the trolley wire, the speed adjustment sensor detects a predetermined deceleration speed before the stop, and the position adjustment mechanism Since the grindstone is automatically lowered to a height position away from the trolley wire, unevenness and scratches on the trolley wire can be prevented, and the contact between the trolley wire and the pantograph is improved and the work load is reduced. be able to.

  On the swing frame 5, a pair of front and rear push-up rollers 10 for pushing up the trolley wire T located above is provided. These push-up rollers 10 and 10 are supported horizontally in the left-right direction at symmetrical positions before and after the support shaft 9. The push-up roller 10 is pivotally supported on a roller base 11 by a bracket 11a, and supported by a guide cylinder 12b by a guide rod 12a so as to be movable up and down. As shown in FIG. 5, a flange 10a is formed at the end of the push-up roller 10, and four slits 10b in the axial direction are provided on the outer periphery at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Between the roller base 11 and the swing frame 5, a load cell 13 for detecting the pressing force of the push-up roller 10 against the trolley wire T is interposed. The air pressure of the air cylinder 7 is fixed in a state where the pressing force of the push-up roller 10 against the trolley wire T reaches a set value.

  A speed sensor 14 is provided on the roller base 11 via a sensor bracket 15. The speed sensor 14 is disposed so as to face the flange portion 10a of the push-up roller 10 in order to detect the traveling speed of the carriage, and detects the passage of the slit 10b. The detection signal of the speed sensor 14 is input to a controller in an operation panel (not shown) of the sliding surface cutting device 1 and counted to calculate a traveling speed, and reaches a preset speed on the way to decelerate before stopping. Then, the position adjustment mechanism 18 is operated by the controller so that the grindstone 16 is lowered to a height position sufficiently away from the trolley line.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the grindstone 16 is provided between the push-up rollers 10 and 10 so as to be movable up and down in order to grind the lower surface of the trolley wire T. The grindstone 16 has a cylindrical shape, and is fixed on a rotating shaft 17 that is vertically supported by the swing frame 5 via a position adjusting mechanism 18. The position adjusting mechanism 18 includes a sleeve 19, a bearing cylinder 20, a ball nut 21, a bearing 22, a screw rod 23, a transmission gear pair 24, and a motor 25. That is, the rotary shaft 17 is supported in the bearing tube 20 of the swing frame 5 so as to be movable up and down together with a sleeve 19 inserted in the outer periphery thereof so as to be relatively rotatable. The sleeve 19 is key-coupled with the bearing tube 20 and cannot rotate relative to the bearing tube 20. A ball nut 21 is fixed to the side surface of the sleeve 19. The bearing cylinder 20 is fixed perpendicularly to the swing frame 5 and includes a notch 20a for partially projecting the ball nut 21 of the sleeve 19 so as to move up and down as shown in FIG. A bearing 22 is fixed to the bearing tube 20 at a lower end side of the notch 20 a, and a screw rod 23 supported at the lower end portion of the bearing 22 is screwed into the ball nut 21. The screw rod 23 is coupled to a motor 25 on the swing frame 5 via a transmission gear pair 24. A lower end of the rotating shaft 17 protruding downward from the bearing tube 20 is coupled to a drive motor 27 via a belt 26. The counterweight 28 is provided at the opposite portion of the drive motor 27 so as to be adjustable in position, and cooperates with the horizontal restoring mechanism 29 to balance the swing frame 5 horizontally. A hood 30 is provided on the outer periphery of the grindstone 16 to prevent dust from being scattered by cutting. As shown in FIG. 2, the hood 30 is provided with a suction port 31 for connecting a dust collector for sucking swarf at a position corresponding to the rotation direction of the grindstone 16, and this can be used as necessary. it can.
It should be noted that various other motors such as a servo motor can be employed as the raising / lowering drive means of the support frame 4 interposed between the slide base 3 and the support frame 4 in place of the air cylinder 7.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the bearing cylinder 20 is provided with upper limit, lower limit, and origin limit switches 32 a, 32 b, and 32 c at the upper and lower ends and the middle portion of the movable range of the ball nut 21. The upper and lower limit switches 32a and 32b detect the upper and lower positions of the ball nut 21 corresponding to the grindstone 16, and the wear of the grindstone 16 is detected particularly when the upper limit switch 32a is deviated. The origin limit switch 32 c counts the rotation of the motor 25 that adjusts the position of the grindstone 16 and serves as a reference point for displacement of the grindstone 16.

  A grindstone position sensor 33 that detects the vertical position of the upper surface (cutting surface) of the grindstone 16 is provided on the side of the grindstone 16. The grindstone position sensor 33 is located on the side of the trolley wire in the direction of extension, and is fixed on a bracket 34 fixed to the hood 30. The grindstone position sensor 33 detects the position by irradiating the upper surface of the grindstone 16 with a laser.

  The sliding surface cutting device 1 continuously cuts the sliding surface of the trolley wire T while running the carriage 2 on the track. That is, the support frame 4 is pushed up by the air cylinder 7 with a constant pressure, and the grindstone 16 advances along the track while being pressed against the sliding surface of the trolley wire T. The rigid trolley line T is arranged so as to be refracted to the left and right for each span in order to shift the contact position with the pantograph in the left-right direction within a predetermined range in order to prevent uneven wear of the pantograph. Thus, when the trolley wire T is displaced horizontally in the horizontal direction with respect to the track, the slide base 3 is moved left and right on the guide rail 6 to place the grindstone 16 at an appropriate position. At locations where the trolley wire T is inclined up and down in the front-rear direction, the swing frame 5 is inclined according to the inclination of the trolley wire T by the pair of front and rear push-up rollers 10 and is always kept in parallel with the trolley wire T. From this, the grindstone 16 cuts it evenly along the inclination of the trolley line T. By raising and lowering the push-up roller 10 together with the support frame 4 by the air cylinder 7, the pressing force of the push-up roller 10 against the rigid trolley line T is maintained constant.

  The cutting amount of the grindstone 16 is performed by adjusting the height of the cutting surface of the grindstone 16 with the motor 25. This cutting control is started after the push-up roller 10 is pressed against the trolley line T and the grindstone 16 is placed at the initial position which is the height of the lowermost surface of the trolley line T by the motor 25. Then, while monitoring the upper surface position of the cutting wheel 16 by the grinding wheel position sensor 33, the trolley wire T is not made larger than a reference cutting margin that is a preset cutting amount, and is not made smaller than a preset minimum cutting margin. In addition, the position of the grindstone 16 is adjusted by controlling the motor 25.

  Since the cutting surface of the grindstone 16 is displaced downward due to its own wear, the grindstone 16 is moved up according to this, but when the height of the cutting surface of the grindstone 16 cannot hold the minimum cutting allowance, The upper limit position of the grindstone 16 is detected by the upper limit switch 32a, an error is displayed, and necessary measures such as replacement of the grindstone 16 are urged.

The pressing force of the grindstone 16 against the trolley line T is controlled by detecting an inverter current that is a load current of the drive motor 27 that rotates the grindstone 16. When the grindstone 16 exceeds a predetermined pressing force, the grindstone 16 is moved down by the motor 25 and placed at a contact position of an appropriate pressing force to prevent the drive motor 27 from being overloaded.
The displacement for adjusting the position of the grindstone 16 as described above is controlled by counting the rotation of the motor 25 based on the position of the origin limit switch 32c at the initial position.
In this embodiment, the cutting device 1 is applied to the rigid trolley wire T. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cutting device 1 can also be applied to a trolley wire to which a normal tension is applied.

  As for the traveling speed of the cart in operation, the speed sensor 14 detects the slit 10b of the push-up roller 10, the counter of the controller in the operation panel counts, and the traveling speed is calculated. When the traveling speed becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined speed before stopping, the controller operates the position adjusting mechanism 18 to lower the grindstone 16 to a height position sufficiently away from the trolley line T. Therefore, when the carriage is stopped to stop the cutting operation at the end portion of the trolley line T, the grindstone 16 is automatically separated from the trolley line T at a predetermined reduced speed before the stop, so that subsequent cutting is avoided. .

  The present invention is effective for automatically and smoothly stopping the cutting operation at the end of the trolley wire.
