BALLAST TRANSPORTATION AND SPREADING VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To spread ballast precisely and stably in a gauge between rails.SOLUTION: A ballast transportation and spreading vehicle of the present invention includes: an opening through which ballast falls; a load receiving platform having a pair of side walls inclined downward toward the opening; a restricting member provided above the opening for restricting concentration of the ballast at the opening by distributing the ballast loaded on the load receiving platform toward each of the pair of side walls; a screw conveyor for transporting the ballast fallen from the opening in one direction; and a discharge port from which the ballast transported by the screw conveyor is discharged. The restricting member is a plate member having a folded part folded upward at a location deviated from a center in a shorter-side direction, and is positioned inside the load receiving platform such that the location of the folded part is deviated from a center of the load receiving platform in a width direction of the load receiving platform, and a distance between both edge parts of the restricting member and the pair of side walls is same.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
