DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR CLEANING ELECTRIFIED CONTACT RAIL INSULATORS FOR RAIL RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMS

摘要

A device for cleaning electrical insulators mounted under an electrified contact rail parallel to a rail track (10) comprises positioning arm(13) attached to a vehicle (8) that travels on the track (10) and a cleaning station (5) with fixed or moveable fingers (6). The fingers (6) have attached cleaning tools (2) and engage, operate on, partly rotate around the circumference of the insulator (1), and disengage, as the vehicle (8) passes by the insulator (1).
