BALLAST CUTOUT DEVICE OF BALLAST CLEANER Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: railway transport; maintenance and repair of permanent way.

SUBSTANCE: proposed ballast cutout device has inclined chutes arranged at both sides of machine longitudinal symmetry plane installed for movement in vertical and horizontal planes under action of drives and carrying working members for cutting ballast from under rail skeletons, and conveyors for re-loading cut out ballast mounted in said chutes. Ballast cutting working members are installed for turning by drives in vertical plane perpendicular to longitudinal plane of symmetry of machine . Working members are essentially horizontally arranged milling cutters made in form of plate feeder with teeth over perimeter and provided with discharge plows directing cut out ballast to lower part of chutes. Troughs are installed between horizontally arranged milling cutters and lower part of chutes. Drive rotor feeders arranged over inclined to trough serve to transport cut out ballast along inclined troughs from discharge plows to intake parts of conveyors installed in chutes.

EFFECT: increased reliability of device and its wear resistance owing to dispensing with multilink and multijoint cantilever bars.
