Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of rail vehicle technology, and in particular to an emergency braking control circuit for rail vehicles and its operating method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the transmission of major brake faults mainly occurs through a network transmitting the vehicle's major brake fault status from each brake valve, or through the brake system collecting the vehicle's major brake fault status from each brake valve and transmitting it through the brake valves located at both ends of the vehicle.

[0003] However, transmission via the network is unreliable and may experience network failures; transmission via the brake valves located at both ends of the vehicle may also result in a failure of the brake valve at the end of the vehicle. If a major brake failure occurs in just one of the brake valves at either end of the vehicle, a major brake failure will be triggered, reducing vehicle availability.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a circuit to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides an emergency braking control circuit for rail vehicles and its operating method, which can establish a more reliable rail vehicle braking fault circuit.

[0006] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, an emergency braking control circuit for a rail vehicle is provided. The circuit includes:

[0007] The entire vehicle lacks a brake fault relay.

[0008] The vehicle's brake failure relay is installed in each car.

[0009] If the brake valve in a single carriage sends a brake failure signal, the corresponding carriage's brake failure relay for that carriage will be de-energized, the vehicle's brake failure relay for the whole vehicle will be energized, and the vehicle will operate normally.

[0010] If the brake valves in multiple carriages send a brake failure signal, the brake failure relay of the corresponding carriage will lose power, and the brake failure relay of the whole vehicle will lose power, triggering the vehicle's emergency braking.

[0011] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, a vehicle-to-vehicle brake failure relay is connected to the vehicle's emergency braking loop; if the vehicle-to-vehicle brake failure relay loses power, the vehicle's emergency braking loop sends a brake failure signal, and the vehicle signal system applies emergency braking.

[0012] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the carriages include a first carriage, a second carriage, a third carriage, and a fourth carriage, and the circuits provided in each carriage include circuits A, B, and C;

[0013] The circuits in the first and second carriages are reversed compared to those in the third and fourth carriages;

[0014] Route A and Route B are respectively equipped with a first switch and a second switch for the vehicle's no-brake fault relay; a forward diode is installed between the first contact of the first switch and the second contact of the second switch;

[0015] In the first carriage: a reverse diode is installed in section C;

[0016] In the second carriage: the C-track is equipped with a third switch for the vehicle's brake failure relay; a reverse diode is installed between the first contact of the second switch and the second contact of the third switch;

[0017] The A-track of the first carriage, the A-track of the second carriage, the C-track of the third carriage, and the C-track of the fourth carriage are connected;

[0018] The B-tracks of the first carriage, the second carriage, the third carriage, and the fourth carriage are connected;

[0019] The C track in the first carriage, the C track in the second carriage, the A track in the third carriage, and the A track in the fourth carriage are connected.

[0020] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the circuitry in each carriage further includes:

[0021] D-track; each carriage is connected by D-track;

[0022] In the first and fourth carriages, the D-line is equipped with a vehicle-wide brake failure relay.

[0023] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the circuit also includes:

[0024] One-position activated relay and two-position activated relay;

[0025] The single-position activated relay and the two-position activated relay are respectively equipped with a first switch and a second switch;

[0026] The second contact of the first switch of the one-terminal activated relay is connected to the first contact of the first switch of the first carriage; the first contact and the second contact of the second switch are respectively connected to the first contact of the first switch and the first contact of the second switch of the first carriage.

[0027] The second contact of the first switch of the two-position activated relay is connected to the first contact of the first switch of the fourth carriage; the first contact and the second contact of the second switch are respectively connected to the first contact of the first switch and the first contact of the second switch of the fourth carriage.

[0028] In the first and fourth carriages, the vehicle's no-brake heavy fault relay is connected to the second switch of the one-position activation relay and the two-position activation relay, respectively.

[0029] One-position activated relays and two-position activated relays are used alternately.

[0030] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, the circuit also includes:

[0031] Multiple second and third carriages.

[0032] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, if none of the brake valves in each carriage sends a brake failure signal, the current flow in the circuit is as follows:

[0033] The current flows from the activation relay at one position to the A and B lines of the first car, then to the A and B lines of the second car, the C and B lines of the third car, the C and B lines of the fourth car, and then to the vehicle's no-brake major fault relay at the D line via the C and B lines of the fourth car. The current then flows from the vehicle's no-brake major fault relay at the fourth car back to the vehicle's no-brake major fault relay at the first car. All the vehicle's no-brake major fault relays are activated, and the vehicle operates normally.

[0034] At this time, current flows from the first contact of the first switch to the second contact of the second switch in the forward diodes of the first and second carriages;

[0038] The current flows from the activation relay at one position to circuits A and B in the first carriage, then to the forward diode in the second carriage, and from the forward diode in the second carriage to circuit B in the third carriage and circuit B in the fourth carriage. From circuit B in the fourth carriage, the current flows to the vehicle's no-brake major fault relay at circuit D, and from the vehicle's no-brake major fault relay in the fourth carriage to the vehicle's no-brake major fault relay in the first carriage. All the vehicle's no-brake major fault relays are activated, and the vehicle operates normally.

[0039] In some possible implementations of the first aspect, if the brake valves of the second and third carriages issue a brake failure signal, the current flow in the circuit is as follows:

[0040] The current flows from the activated relay at one position to the A and B circuits of the first carriage, then to the forward diode of the second carriage, and then to the B circuit of the third carriage via the forward diode of the second carriage. At this time, the second contact of the B circuit of the third carriage is in the open state, so the current is interrupted here, and all the non-braking fault relays of the whole vehicle are de-energized, triggering the vehicle's emergency braking.

[0041] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a rail vehicle emergency braking control method is provided, the method being applied to the rail vehicle emergency braking control circuit described above, the method comprising:

[0042] If no single-car brake failure occurs in the brake valve of each car, the corresponding brake failure relay of that car is activated and energized; if a brake failure occurs, the corresponding brake failure relay of that car is de-energized.

[0043] If the non-brake fault relay of each car is activated or the non-brake fault relay of a single car is de-energized, the circuit remains conductive and the non-brake fault relay of the whole car is activated.

[0044] If the non-brake fault relay of multiple carriages loses power, the circuit will be broken, the non-brake fault relay of the whole vehicle will lose power, and the vehicle will be triggered to brake suddenly.

[0045] This disclosure provides an emergency braking control circuit for rail vehicles and its operating method. By using a one-position activation relay, a two-position activation relay, a vehicle-specific brake failure relay, a vehicle-wide brake failure relay, and a diode, a more reliable rail vehicle brake failure circuit can be established, enabling the vehicle to promptly obtain a vehicle-wide brake failure signal.

[0103] The current flows through the third switch of the second carriage to the forward diode R02 of the first carriage, through the forward diode R02 to the first contact B1 of the second switch of the first carriage, through the first contact B1 to the third contact B3 of the second switch that activates the one-position relay, through the third contact B3 to the vehicle non-braking heavy fault relay of the first carriage and the vehicle non-braking heavy fault relay of the fourth carriage, and through the vehicle non-braking heavy fault relays of the first carriage and the fourth carriage respectively to the negative terminal 100 of the power supply circuit.

[0104] In some embodiments, a vehicle brake failure relay is connected to the vehicle emergency braking loop; if the vehicle brake failure relay loses power, the vehicle emergency braking loop sends a brake failure signal, and the vehicle signal system applies emergency braking.

[0111] Figure 3 A flowchart of an emergency braking control method for a rail vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown; as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the emergency braking control method 300 for rail vehicles can be applied to... Figure 1 The emergency braking control circuit for the rail vehicle shown includes the following steps:

[0112] S310: If no single-car brake failure occurs in the brake valve of each car, the corresponding brake failure relay of the car is activated and energized; if a brake failure occurs, the corresponding brake failure relay of the car is de-energized.

[0113] In some embodiments, if the brake valves of each carriage do not issue a brake failure signal, the current flows in the circuit as follows: the current flows from the activation relay at one position to the A and B lines of the first carriage, then to the A and B lines of the second carriage, the C and B lines of the third carriage, the C and B lines of the fourth carriage, then to the vehicle's brake failure relay at the D line via the C and B lines of the fourth carriage, and finally to the vehicle's brake failure relay at the first carriage via the vehicle's brake failure relay at the fourth carriage. All vehicle brake failure relays are activated, and the vehicle operates normally.

[0120] In some embodiments, if the brake valves of the second and third carriages issue a brake failure signal, the current flow in the circuit is as follows:

[0121] The current flows from the activated relay at one position to the A and B circuits of the first carriage, then to the forward diode of the second carriage, and then to the B circuit of the third carriage via the forward diode of the second carriage. At this time, the second contact of the B circuit of the third carriage is in the open state, so the current is interrupted here, and all the non-braking fault relays of the whole vehicle are de-energized, triggering the vehicle's emergency braking.

[0122] According to the emergency braking control circuit and its working method for rail vehicles provided in this disclosure, a more reliable rail vehicle braking fault circuit can be established by using a one-position activation relay, a two-position activation relay, a vehicle-specific braking fault relay, a vehicle-wide braking fault relay, and a diode, so that the vehicle can obtain the vehicle-wide braking fault signal in a timely manner.
