Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of rail transportation technology, and in particular to a locomotive sand spreading device and method. Background Art

[0002] In severe weather conditions such as rain and snow, the adhesion between the train's wheels and rails will be significantly reduced, causing the wheels to slip or spin. This not only increases the braking distance of the train, but may also cause unnecessary wear on the wheelsets and rails, affecting the smooth operation of the train and the comfort of passengers. To solve this problem, researchers have developed a locomotive sand-spreading device and method. By spreading an appropriate amount of anti-slip materials such as dry quartz sand on the contact surface between the wheels and rails, the adhesion between the wheels and rails is effectively increased, thereby shortening the braking distance, improving the anti-slip performance of the train, and ensuring that the train can run safely and smoothly even in severe weather. The application of this sand-spreading device and method is of great significance to improving the overall safety and operational efficiency of railway transportation.

[0003] At present, most sand spreading devices on trains adopt gravity and differential pressure types, which have the defects of unstable sand output and high requirements on the use environment. In order to overcome this defect, the present invention provides a sand spreading device and method that can accurately and constantly transport sand and gravel and is not dependent on the use environment.

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108001470B discloses a sand-spreading control method and device. This method includes: obtaining the train's operating speed; obtaining the current pressure of the sand-spreading control system; the current pressure being the pressure at the end of the sand-spreading control system; controlling the speed of a power supply fan based on the train's operating speed and the current pressure of the sand-spreading control system; and controlling the sand-spreading rate of the sand-spreading device based on the speed of the power supply fan to spray sand from the sand-spreading device between the train tires and the track. The speed of the power supply fan is proportional to the sand-spreading rate of the sand-spreading device. This invention improves the adhesion between the train tires and the track.

[0005] It can be seen that the sand spreading control method and device have the following problems: the invention controls the sand spreading rate according to the rotation speed of the power fan, and sprays sand between the train tires and the track to increase the adhesion between the train tires and the track, but the invention lacks monitoring and correction of the sand spreading effect, resulting in difficulty in maintaining the sand injection amount, sand output speed, sand spreading efficiency, etc. accurately and constantly, resulting in poor sand spreading effect, sand waste, etc. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Or, according to the comparison result that the slip rate difference is less than the first preset slip rate difference and greater than or equal to the second preset slip rate difference, it is determined to add sand material with a second sand material addition amount;

[0018] Alternatively, determining to add sand material with a third amount of sand material according to a comparison result that the slip rate difference is less than the second preset slip rate difference;

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention realizes the continuous conveying of sand material by setting up a Jiaolong conveying mechanism, thus avoiding the intermittent problem existing in the traditional conveying method; the sand material can be mixed and stirred at the same time during the conveying process of the sand material, thus avoiding serious agglomeration of the sand material; the amount of sand material added is determined according to the slip rate, the larger the slip rate, the smaller the adhesion between the locomotive and the track, the locomotive is prone to idling, and the larger the amount of sand material added is required; whether the amount of sand material added is corrected is determined according to the area ratio of the image grayscale value; the case where the area ratio is small indicates that there are water marks on the track, but the water marks are small, and the influence on the slip rate is small, and the amount of sand material added is not corrected; the case where the area ratio is large indicates that there are more water marks on the track, and the amount of sand material added needs to be appropriately increased. The amount is measured to determine whether the adhesion between the locomotive and the track meets the standard, thereby improving the sanding efficiency while ensuring the sanding effect; the ambient temperature is monitored to determine whether to turn on the heating component. If the ambient temperature is too low, the lubricating grease inside the sanding device will solidify, resulting in poor operation of the sanding device, thereby affecting the uniformity and accuracy of the sanding. The heating power is determined based on the comparison results between the ambient temperature and the preset ambient temperature, thereby improving the heating efficiency while ensuring the heating effect and avoiding energy waste; excessive ambient humidity will cause the sand to become damp, and then become hardened, which will reduce the fluidity of the sand and make it impossible for the sand to be evenly distributed between the wheels and the track, reducing the sanding effect.

[0031] Furthermore, the present invention provides a pneumatic motor to power the Jiaolong conveying mechanism, using clean energy to reduce pollutant emissions; a screw feeding assembly is provided to achieve continuous conveying of sand materials, and the sand materials are stirred during the sand feeding process to avoid agglomeration, which is beneficial to the stability of the sand output, thereby improving the sand spreading efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, the present invention determines whether the adhesion between the locomotive and the track meets the standard based on the slip rate. The smaller the slip rate, the smaller the adhesion. Taking the preset slip rate as the standard, the greater the slip rate difference, the greater the amount of sand required. The amount of sand is accurately determined according to different needs, avoiding waste of sand and thus improving sand spreading efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, the present invention monitors the ambient temperature through a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, determines the heating power based on the ambient temperature, and determines a correction method for the heating power based on the ambient humidity, thereby improving the heating efficiency while ensuring the heating effect, thereby further improving the sand spreading efficiency.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, they are respectively a structural schematic diagram of the locomotive sand spreading device according to an embodiment of the present invention; a structural schematic diagram of the box body according to an embodiment of the present invention; a structural schematic diagram of the Jiaolong conveying mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention; and a structural schematic diagram of the lower panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] The present invention provides a locomotive sand spreading device, comprising:

[0046] The box body is connected to the sand box, the upper panel 1 of the box body is provided with a feed port 2, and a heating component is provided inside the box body;

[0047] The Jiaolong conveying mechanism is arranged inside the box body and is used to convey the sand material in the sand box, including a screw feeding assembly for conveying the sand material and a motor 7 for providing power to the screw feeding assembly;

[0048] A double-threaded straight-through hole 12 is provided on one side of the box body and is connected to the air inlet 10 of the motor 7 for supplying high-pressure gas to the motor 7. An electric throttle valve 16 is provided inside the double-threaded straight-through hole 12;

[0049] A sand spreading assembly is provided at the lower portion of the box body near the discharge end of the screw feeding assembly, for spraying the sand material, and includes a curved pipe 15 provided on the lower end surface of the box body, and an air outlet pipe 13 provided at the lower end surface of the box body near the curved pipe 15 and in communication with the box body, wherein one end of the air outlet pipe 13 away from the box body is in communication with the curved pipe 15;

[0050] The acquisition component includes a temperature detection module and a humidity detection module disposed on the outside of the locomotive body for respectively detecting the temperature and humidity of the locomotive operating environment, and an image acquisition module disposed on the top of the locomotive head for acquiring track images;

[0051] A control component is respectively connected to the double-threaded straight-through 12, the sand-spreading component, the acquisition component and the data processing component, calculates the slip rate based on the sliding speed of the train to preliminarily determine the amount of sand material to be added based on the slip rate, obtains the area ratio of the grayscale value greater than the preset grayscale value in the track image, corrects the amount of sand material to be added based on the area ratio, and determines the heating power based on the ambient temperature, and determines whether the heating power meets the standard based on the ambient humidity and corrects the heating power that does not meet the standard.

[0052] Specifically, the motor 7 is a pneumatic motor 7, such as a piston pneumatic motor 7, which is not specifically limited. The high-pressure gas enters the motor 7 through the double-threaded straight through 12, converting the gas pressure into rotational mechanical energy. The motor 7 drives the screw feeding assembly through gears to transport the sand material. The electric throttle valve 16 controls the gas flow of the high-pressure gas entering the motor 7 by controlling the size of the valve. The greater the gas flow, the faster the screw feeding assembly rotates, and the greater the amount of sand material added in the same time, so the amount of sand material added can be controlled by controlling the electric throttle valve 16.

[0053] Specifically, the exhaust gas of the motor 7 is discharged into the box to provide power for the sand material at the discharge end. The electric throttle valve 16 controls the outlet pressure through the outlet by controlling the size of the valve. The smaller the valve, the greater the outlet pressure, and the larger the valve, the smaller the outlet pressure. Therefore, the stability of the sand output can be controlled by controlling the electric throttle valve 16.

[0054] Specifically, the formula for calculating the slip rate based on the train's sliding speed is:

[0055] ;

[0056] Wherein, σ represents the slip ratio, ΔV represents the difference between the sliding speed of the locomotive and the theoretical rolling speed, and V represents the theoretical rolling speed of the locomotive.

[0057] Specifically, the theoretical rolling speed refers to the average speed of the locomotive wheels under ideal conditions when there is no slip.

[0058] Specifically, the present invention realizes the continuous conveying of sand material by setting up a Jiaolong conveying mechanism, thereby avoiding the intermittent problem existing in the traditional conveying method. The sand material can be mixed and stirred at the same time during the conveying process of the sand material, thereby avoiding serious agglomeration of the sand material; the amount of sand material added is determined according to the slip rate. The larger the slip rate, the smaller the adhesion between the locomotive and the track, the locomotive is prone to idling, and the larger the amount of sand material added is required. The area ratio of the image grayscale value determines whether the amount of sand material added should be corrected. The case where the area ratio is small indicates that there are water marks on the track, but the water marks are small and the effect on the slip rate is small, so the amount of sand material added is not corrected. The case where the area ratio is large indicates that there are more water marks on the track, and the amount of sand material added needs to be appropriately increased to determine the locomotive. The adhesion to the track meets the standards, thereby improving the sanding efficiency while ensuring the sanding effect; the ambient temperature is monitored to determine whether to turn on the heating component. If the ambient temperature is too low, the lubricating grease inside the sanding device will solidify, resulting in poor operation of the sanding device, thereby affecting the uniformity and accuracy of sanding. The heating power is determined based on the comparison results between the ambient temperature and the preset ambient temperature, thereby improving the heating efficiency while ensuring the heating effect and avoiding energy waste; excessive ambient humidity will cause the sand to become damp, and then become hardened, which will reduce the fluidity of the sand and make it impossible for the sand to be evenly distributed between the wheels and the track, reducing the sanding effect. The heating power is corrected based on the ambient humidity, and the sanding process is accurately heated, thereby improving the sanding efficiency.

[0059] Specifically, the Jiaolong conveying mechanism includes a mounting plate 3, and the front of the mounting plate 3 is provided with a first gear 5 and a second gear 6 which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right. A motor 7 is provided on the right side of the back of the mounting plate 3, and the motor 7 and the first gear 5 are socketed. The tail end of the motor 7 is provided with a fixing plate 4 with a first circular hole 9 and a first circular tube 8 fixed thereon. The motor 7 is socketed with the first circular hole 9, and the first circular tube 8 with a threaded conveying rod 17 inside is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3, and the threaded conveying rod 17 is socketed with the second gear 6. The first circular tube 8 is fixed with a second circular tube 11 connected to the bent pipe 15 near the lower end of the fixing plate 4.

[0060] Specifically, the present invention provides a pneumatic motor 7 to power the Jiaolong conveying mechanism, uses clean energy to reduce pollutant emissions; provides a screw feeding assembly to achieve continuous conveying of sand materials, and stirs the sand materials during the sand feeding process to avoid agglomeration, which is beneficial to the stability of the sand output.

[0069] Specifically, the present invention determines whether the adhesion between the locomotive and the track meets the standard based on the slip rate. The smaller the slip rate, the smaller the adhesion. Taking the preset slip rate as the standard, the larger the slip rate difference, the larger the amount of sand required, and the larger the valve diameter of the electric throttle valve 16.

[0070] Specifically, the control component determines to use a sand material input amount correction coefficient to correct the sand material input amount based on the comparison result that the area ratio is greater than the preset area ratio.
