Description

The invention relates to cleaning devices and can be used to clean the inner surface of vehicles carrying bulk materials after their unloading, namely wagons.

A device is known for stripping gondola cars from the remains of bulk cargo, containing a frame mounted on the base, in the upper part of which there is a rod pivotally connected to a breaking lever with an inductor attached to it, the device contains a telescopic sliding boom mounted on a movable cart, mounted in turn on rails and moving along a railway car unloaded on a rotary car dumper, a mechanical brush with a drive for its rotation is rigidly fixed at the end of the telescopic boom (see RF patent No. 73656, IPC B65G 67/24).

The disadvantage of this technical solution is its low reliability when expanding the boom and when moving the cart, due to the low stability of the structure, which does not allow directing the device to contaminated areas of the gondola car. This leads to a decrease in the quality of cleaning.

A known machine for cleaning railway gondola cars, containing a self-propelled portal with working bodies, including auger and brushes, mounted on a vertically lifting farm, mounted on a carriage, equipped in the lower and upper parts with wheels that rest on annular rail guides rigidly fixed to the portal (see ed. St. No. 189892, IPC B61K).

The disadvantage of the known technical solution is its low reliability when cleaning vehicles with the remains of goods from the metallurgical industry (beams, rails, a frozen monolith in winter, etc.). brush movements. The shock absorber springs available in the design cannot provide compensation for these forces, since the lifting of the truss with cleaning devices in contact with an obstacle is carried out due to the vertical component. But at the moment of contact, transverse forces first act, as a result of a blow to the end of the brush and with a shift in time, a vertical component appears, which should compress the spring and raise the truss. During this period of time, shock loads are transferred to the truss and shaft of the device, causing them to break.

The closest analogue to the claimed invention is a device for cleaning gondola cars, containing a portal with a trolley placed on it with the ability to move perpendicular to the axis of the gondola car, carrying a winch, a cleaning mechanism and a mechanism for lifting it. The lifting mechanism of the cleaning mechanism is made in the form of levers pivotally connected to each other, one lever is pivotally connected to the trolley, and the cleaning mechanism is mounted at the end of the second and this lever is equipped with a block through which the winch cable is stored (see ed. No. 1751007, IPC B60S 3/00).

The disadvantage of this device is its low reliability in view of the complicated design due to the large number of swivel joints. In addition, this leads to a significant increase in the cost of the device.

The technical problem of the known technical solutions lies in their low reliability caused by the lack of stability of the device, its failure due to the occurrence of shock loads and the complexity of the design. The above leads to a decrease in the accuracy of control and the quality of cleaning.

The essence of the claimed invention lies in the fact that the device for cleaning vehicles contains a portal with box-section supports with a cargo trolley placed on it, made with the possibility of displacement across the cleaned gondola car to ensure cleaning of the side walls. The portal is equipped with a winch connected by a hinged frame with a brush mechanism, and pumps for supplying water to the dust suppression circuit. The portal supports are provided with braces in two perpendicular directions. The brush mechanism consists of drum sections with cassettes attached to them, holding U-shaped ropes. Hangers with rolling bearings are located between the drum sections. The brush mechanism is equipped with a motor-reducer, the motor axis of which is located vertically above the brush mechanism. Around the brush mechanism is a tubular circuit with slotted nozzles to provide dust suppression.

The technical result achieved by the claimed invention is to increase the reliability of the device by ensuring its stability while improving the quality of vehicle cleaning by providing brush mechanism access to hard-to-reach places.

The essence of the claimed invention is illustrated by drawings, where:

- in Fig. 1 schematically shows a purification plant;

- in Fig. 2 - brush mechanism;

The portal for cleaning vehicles is supported by four supports 1 of box section. To increase the rigidity of the portal and reduce the amplitude of oscillations of the cleaning post portal, which are possible when cleaning vehicles, the supports 1 have braces 2 in two perpendicular directions. Supports 1 of the portal are installed on two box-shaped running beams. The brush mechanism 3 consists of four sections of a steel drum with 54 cassettes attached to them, holding U-shaped steel ropes. Suspensions with rolling bearings pass between the sections of the drum. The rotation of the brush mechanism 3 is provided by a gear motor 4 with a bevel gear. The axis of the motor-reducer motor 4 is located vertically above the brush mechanism 3. To suppress dust that occurs when the brush mechanism operates in dry and hot weather, a tubular circuit with 18 slot nozzles is located around it, designed to supply water to it. The flow of water from the nozzles provides a continuous curtain around the brush mechanism 3 and additionally washes the debris raised by the brush mechanism 3 into the open hatches of the gondola car being cleaned. The brush mechanism 3 is mounted on a tubular hinged frame 5. The hinged frame 5 is made with the possibility of raising to the height of the railway gauge (5300 mm), providing free passage under the train, and lowering to the height of the gondola car floor (~1400 mm - working position) brush mechanism 3. The hinged frame 5 is fixed on horizontal axes under the flooring of the cargo trolley 6. A winch 7 (LM-3.2) is installed on the cargo trolley 6 for lifting and lowering the brush mechanism 3 by means of a steel rope (D = 18 mm), bypass blocks , pumps supplying water to the dust suppression circuit, and other auxiliary equipment. Cargo trolley 6 to ensure the cleaning of the side walls of the gondola car (if necessary) is made with the possibility of displacement across the cleaned gondola car by 200 mm in each direction. To do this, it is installed on four wheels (D=200 mm). Two wheels of which are driven. The drive wheels of the cargo trolley 6 are set in motion by means of a gear motor 8 with built-in brakes. The wheels of the cargo trolley 6 rest on rails (bands 30×50 mm), which are located on the box-shaped span beams of the portal. Distance between under bogie rails 4300 mm (bogie track). To ensure the reliability and safety of the cleaning post, it is equipped with safety devices, electrical protections and interlocks, alarms, protective fences, and means to ensure comfortable working conditions.

The claimed invention is carried out as follows.

The composition in the combination of vehicles being cleaned with open hatches stops and slows down under the cleaning post. The staff of the vehicle cleaning area leaves the area of its work. Cleaning takes place through the open hatches of vehicles using the brush mechanism of the 3rd cleaning post. The vehicle intended for cleaning is delivered to the work area. The post operator installs the portal and the cart 6 above the vehicle and turns on the mechanism for lowering the brush 9. In this case, the upper suspension frame under the weight of the brush mechanism 3 rotates around the axis of the articulation with the frame of the cart 6, lowering the lower suspension frame with the brush mechanism to the bottom of the vehicle cab. After that, the drive of the rotation mechanism of the brush 5 is turned on. As the cleaning progresses, the portal and the trolley 6 are moved. After the end, the brush mechanism 3 is lifted. To move the portal of the cleaning post along the composition of fixed vehicles being cleaned, each running beam is mounted on wheels (D=500 mm). The axles of the wheels rotate in rolling bearings installed in angular boxes. Two of the wheels are driven. The drive wheels of the running beams are driven by geared motors with built-in brakes. The wheels of the running beams are supported on railway rails (R-65). The rails of the cleaning station are laid at a distance of 8000 mm from each other. The running beams are equipped with four buffers, four anti-theft grips, brooms and casings, which prevent debris from the vehicles being cleaned from getting on the rails along which the cleaning station moves. To supply the pumps supplying water to the dust suppression circuit, a tank 10 for water with a volume of 4 m ³ is installed on one of the running beams. On the other running beam there are electrical control cabinets 11, above them there is a cabin 12 of the operator who controls the cleaning post. For maintenance and repair of the equipment of the cargo trolley, an electric repair hoist 13 with a lifting capacity of 3.2 tons is suspended above it. Holding the repair hoist 13 is a two-tee monorail supported on four supports, two of which are L-shaped. On the L-shaped supports there is a platform 14 for servicing the repair hoist and inclined stairs for climbing to it. These stairs have circular railings. Supports of the repair hoist monorail 13 have a box-shaped section, the lower ends of the supports of the repair hoist 13 monorail are attached to the portal of the cleaning station using flanges. During normal operation of the cleaning post, the repair hoist 13 is not used, in order to reduce the height of the cleaning post, it can be removed together with the monorail and its supports.

Thus, the claimed invention makes it possible to improve the quality of cleaning vehicles by providing access for the brush mechanism to hard-to-reach places while ensuring the stability of the device for cleaning vehicles, which leads to an increase in the reliability of this device.
