Rail cleaning device, has applying mechanism applying impregnating agent on rail, and high pressure cleaning mechanism with cleaning arm that is bent to specified angle

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a high pressure cleaning mechanism (2) for cleaning a rail (10) in a driving direction (F). An applying mechanism (6) applies an impregnating agent on the rail. The cleaning mechanism has a cleaning arm (10) with a cleaning nozzle directed toward the head of the rail. The cleaning arm is bent at an angle between 30 and 60 degrees in the driving direction. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a cleaning method. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for cleaning a lubricating film formed on a rail. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The applying mechanism applies the impregnating agent on the rail so that the lubricating film existing on the rail is removed and the formation of a new lubricating film due to autumn foliage and dirt particle is also prevented. The cleaning arm is bent to an angle between 30 and 60 degree in the driving direction, thus enabling achievement of good cleaning efficiency. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic side view of a rail cleaning device.
