Since it needs to move forward or backward frequently, it requires good lookout conditions. Since it mainly operates in stations and needs to pass through curves with a small radius, the fixed wheelbase of the locomotive is required to be small. Since it is often necessary to start and stop, the locomotive is required to be flexible in operation and have good braking performance. Since it often operates at night, the head and tail lights require good brightness; in addition, it is also required to facilitate the safe boarding and alighting of shunting personnel, etc.

[0022] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the main circuit topology of the hybrid locomotive of the constant speed generator set provided by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar modules or modules with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be construed as limitations on the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a main circuit topology structure of a hybrid locomotive with a constant speed generator set is provided. The main function of the locomotive main circuit is to control the operation of the AC asynchronous traction motor after converting the DC power of the power battery set and the AC power of the diesel generator set, charge the power battery set, realize the locomotive braking energy feedback, and control the operation of the traction fan; at the same time, provide AC380V / 220V AC power and DC 110V DC power to the outside. The specific design is as follows:

[0026] It mainly includes auxiliary system, traction motor, battery, power battery pack, diesel generator set and ground power supply, wherein the diesel generator set is used to provide AC380V / 50Hz AC power supply; the power battery pack is used to provide DC power supply, preferably, the power battery pack includes two groups of power batteries, each group of power batteries is connected in parallel and connected to the intermediate DC circuit; the ground power supply is used to provide AC380V / 50Hz AC power supply. The auxiliary system includes at least one traction motor ventilator and an air conditioning / daily power port, in this embodiment, there are two traction motors and one air conditioning / daily power port; the battery is a 110V battery, and the 110V battery is connected to a 110V DC power supply interface to provide 110V DC power to the outside of the locomotive; the traction motor provides power for the movement of the locomotive to realize the dispatching of the locomotive.

[0027] The power battery pack is connected to an intermediate DC circuit, which includes a pre-charging circuit, a traction inverter and a battery charger. The other end of the pre-charging circuit is connected to the traction inverter and the battery charger, and the traction inverter and the battery charger are respectively connected to the traction motor and the battery. The function of the pre-charging circuit is as follows: there is an intermediate circuit capacitor on the rectifier and rectifier feedback module. If the power module is connected, the power module capacitor is also added to the DC bus. The capacitor charging current has a logarithmic curve characteristic. If the starting current is not limited, it will be very large, which can destroy the capacitor in one go. Therefore, when the SLM unit is put into operation, the timing is: first put the pre-charging power supply (connected to the main power supply) into operation, give the closing command, put the internal pre-charging contactor into operation, the power supply charges the capacitor group through the pre-charging resistor, after the voltage is reached, put the main power supply into operation, and cut off the pre-charging contactor; the pre-charging circuit generally includes two paths, one is the main relay, and the other is the auxiliary relay with larger impedance and resistor R, and the auxiliary relay and resistor R are connected in series. During the pre-charging process, the auxiliary relay and resistor R are first connected, and the capacitor group is charged through the pre-charging resistor. After the voltage is reached, the circuit where the main relay is located is put into operation, and the auxiliary relay is cut off. The above is the basic working principle, and the use of the pre-charging circuit is a prior art and will not be repeated here. The above traction inverter converts the intermediate DC power into AC power to control the action of the traction motor through space vector control. The above battery charger is used to charge the 110V battery and then power the control circuit of the locomotive.

[0028] It also includes a four-quadrant rectifier module, one end of which is connected to the intermediate DC circuit, and the other end is respectively connected to the diesel generator set, the ground power supply and the auxiliary system, that is, the diesel generator set and the ground power supply are both connected to the four-quadrant rectifier module, and the diesel generator set and the ground power supply are both connected to the auxiliary system. Among them, the four-quadrant rectifier module includes a four-quadrant rectifier and an LCL filter circuit connected thereto, the LCL filter circuit is a matching module of the four-quadrant rectifier, and plays a role in filtering and electromagnetic compatibility; the four-quadrant rectifier is connected to the pre-charging circuit, and the LCL filter circuit is respectively connected to the diesel generator set and the ground power supply.

[0029] The main circuit topology of the hybrid locomotive of the constant speed generator set provided in this embodiment is mainly divided into the following four working modes, namely: power supply by power battery pack, diesel generator set or ground power supply alone, or power supply by power battery pack and diesel generator set. In different modes, the four-quadrant rectifier module plays different roles, as follows:

[0030] When the diesel generator set is used as the sole power supply, the four-quadrant rectifier module plays the role of PWM rectification, boosting the AC power and supplying it to the intermediate DC circuit;

[0031] When the diesel generator set and the power battery set are used for mixed power supply, the four-quadrant rectifier module plays the role of PWM rectification. Through precise control, the diesel generator set and the power battery set can be mixed for output, thus increasing the output power of the locomotive and improving the traction capacity.

[0032] When the power battery pack is charged by ground power or diesel generator set, the four-quadrant rectifier module acts as a charger to control the constant current charging of the power battery pack;

[0033] When the power is supplied solely by the power battery, the four-quadrant rectifier module acts as a frequency converter, inverting the intermediate DC power and supplying it to the auxiliary system after sinusoidal wave filtering.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on the circuit topology in Embodiment 1, a power supply method is also provided in this embodiment to realize different functions in various working modes of the locomotive. The method includes:

[0036] The working mode of the locomotive is switched through control commands to realize power supply by power battery pack alone, diesel generator set alone or ground power supply alone, or mixed power supply by power battery pack and diesel generator set. Different functions can be realized in different working modes. The power supply methods in each mode are as follows:

[0037] ① The load is powered by the power battery pack alone (the ground power supply and diesel generator set are not working): When the locomotive is in traction state, the power battery pack supplies power to the intermediate DC circuit, and the intermediate DC circuit supplies power to the traction converter and controls the operation of the traction motor through the traction converter. At the same time, the DC power of the power battery pack supplies power to the auxiliary system through the four-quadrant rectifier module. At this time, the four-quadrant rectifier module acts as a frequency converter, inverting the intermediate DC power and supplying it to the auxiliary system through sine wave filtering;

[0038] When the locomotive is in regenerative braking, the traction motor generates electricity and charges the power battery pack through the traction inverter. At the same time, the traction motor generates electricity to supply power to the intermediate DC circuit, which is then supplied to the auxiliary system through the four-quadrant rectifier module to meet the power consumption of the auxiliary system.

[0039] ② Powered by a diesel generator set alone (the ground power supply and the power battery pack are not working): The AC380V / 50Hz alternating current generated by the diesel generator set directly supplies power to the auxiliary system. At the same time, the AC380V / 50Hz alternating current is rectified and boosted by the four-quadrant rectifier module to supply power to the intermediate DC circuit, and then to the traction motor through the pre-charging circuit and the traction inverter. When the diesel generator set is used to supply power alone, the locomotive is prohibited from performing regenerative braking, that is, the current generated by the traction motor will not be fed back to the intermediate DC circuit.

[0040] ③ The power supply is mixed by the power battery pack and the diesel generator set. At this time, the working state of the four-quadrant rectifier module is switched to the PWM rectification mode, and the diesel generator is combined with the power battery pack for mixed power supply. The specific method is as follows:

[0041] When the power battery pack and the diesel generator set are used as a mixed power supply, if the locomotive is in the low handle position, the power battery pack will be used for power supply first, until the SOC of the power battery pack is lower than 30%, the diesel generator set will be started, and through precise control, the diesel generator set will supply power to the intermediate DC circuit and charge the power battery pack after passing through the four-quadrant rectifier module. At this time, the AC power generated by the diesel generator set can also directly power the auxiliary system; as the power battery pack is charged, the diesel generator set will be stopped until the SOC of the power battery pack is higher than 95%; at this time, the four-quadrant rectifier of the four-quadrant rectifier module is in PWM rectification mode;

[0042] If the locomotive is in the high handle position, through precise control, the diesel generator set passes through the four-quadrant rectifier module and then combines with the power battery pack to provide mixed power to the intermediate DC circuit, thereby increasing the locomotive output power and improving the traction capacity. At this time, the AC power generated by the diesel generator set can also directly power the auxiliary system, and the working state of the four-quadrant rectifier in the four-quadrant rectifier module is also in PWM rectification mode.

[0043] ④ The ground power supply is used alone, and the auxiliary system is directly powered by the ground power supply, and / or the power battery pack is charged after rectification by the four-quadrant rectifier module. The charging current is input from the display screen of the locomotive, and the charging is started. The diesel generator set is prohibited from starting and loading. The 380V / 50Hz AC power of the ground power supply is used to charge the power battery after rectification by the four-quadrant rectifier module. The four-quadrant rectifier module works in constant current mode and can accurately control the charging current of the power battery. At the same time, the ground power supply directly supplies power to the auxiliary system.
