[0004] The existing pantograph is in contact with the
contact line arranged in a "Z" shape to receive current. During the high-speed operation of the train, there will be high-speed
relative motion between the pantograph and the catenary, and severe
impact will occur when encountering a hard point of the catenary, resulting in a small current contact area. Even if the phenomenon of arcing occurs, arc
ablation damage will occur on the surface of the carbon skateboard, which will affect the current receiving effect and service life of the skateboard
At the same time, although the traditional skateboard will have
lateral displacement when it is in frictional contact with the contact line, in terms of
actual use, the lateral effective use area of the skateboard is only in the "contact
sweet spot", and the contact area does not cover the entire skateboard, resulting in a high
utilization rate of the skateboard material. Limited, even when the skateboard is scrapped, about 20% of the surface of the skateboard is never in contact with the contact line
The
impact caused by the high-speed relative movement of the car network mainly acts on the effective use area of the skateboard. Factors such as
arc erosion and
mechanical impact make the wear of the skateboard in the effective area intensified, which seriously affects the service life of the skateboard and the use efficiency of materials.
[0005] There are still several
bottleneck problems that need to be solved urgently in the existing pantograph carbon skateboards: (1) The materials of the carbon skateboards are not fully utilized, and a large amount of labor costs are required to replace the worn out carbon skateboards on a regular basis; (2) During the high-speed operation of the train Among them, the abrasion of the carbon skateboard is particularly serious. Under the high-speed operation of the train, the flexible friction between the carbon skateboard and the
contact wire at
low speed gradually evolves into a rigid
impact between the
contact wire and the carbon skateboard. Rigid impact can easily cause the carbon skateboard to collapse. The edge collapse of the skateboard reduces the surface area of the skateboard, and the reduction of the contact area of the "contact line-carbon skateboard" directly leads to a sharp increase in the
current density in the local contact area, followed by a sharp increase in
Joule heat, which accelerates the aging of the skateboard.
The more damaged areas, the more limited the contact surface, forming a vicious circle; (3) When the train is running at high speed, the performance of the carbon skateboard following the contact line is not good, and the pantograph-network off-
line rate increases, which will lead to frequent arcing between the contact line and the carbon skateboard And it will cause unstable flow between the skateboard and the
contact wire to generate arc, which will cause
ablation on the surface and interior of the skateboard and accelerate the aging of the skateboard; (4) the existing pantograph-catenary
system equipped with carbon skateboard is mainly used When it is used for the rigid catenary, it is easy to cause the skateboard to wear too fast at the rigid suspension joints, large bends in the rigid section, and rigid segmental insulators. At the same time, it also causes uneven wear of the contact wires and affects train operation.
(5) When the relative friction between the carbon skateboard and the contact line occurs, the sliding friction is serious, especially under
extreme weather conditions, the traditional carbon skateboard has poor
wear resistance and
impact resistance. In addition, in the case of ice and
snow, the ice
coating on the surface of the contact line may have a
mechanical impact with the carbon skateboard, causing the skateboard to be damaged or even broken.
(6) The number of carbon skateboards in the existing pantograph-catenary
system is fixed, and it is difficult to adapt to changes in the traction
power demand of trains by increasing or decreasing the number of skateboards, and it is difficult to meet the needs of increased speed and traction power of
electric traction locomotives
[0009] Both of the above two have changed pantograph-catenary contact sliding friction into rolling friction, but there are still areas to be improved and perfected in the design of the drum structure of the two.
