Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic levitation vehicle running mechanisms, in particular to an emergency support guide sliding shoe suitable for superconducting electric magnetic levitation in low vacuum pipelines. Background Art

[0002] When a maglev train using the Superconducting Electric Maglev (EDS) system operates, the magnetic field of the onboard superconducting magnets cuts through the ground coils, generating induced currents and magnetic fields. The magnetic field of the onboard superconducting magnets interacts with the induced magnetic field of the ground coils to generate electromagnetic levitation and guidance forces, enabling the train to levitate and guide. This system offers strong load-bearing capacity, high levitation height, and low track accuracy requirements, making it a key development direction for high-speed and ultra-high-speed rail transit. To improve economic efficiency, EDS maglev trains typically have two suspension frames installed under each car body, or use an articulated marshaling system with adjacent cars sharing a single suspension frame. If the magnets quench, the train loses all or part of the electromagnetic levitation and guidance force, posing a significant risk of collision with the tracks. Therefore, emergency support and guidance devices are essential to provide reliable mechanical support and guidance for the maglev after the quench.

[0003] An emergency support guide wheel device has been proposed in the prior art. The rotating parts of the bearing, such as the rollers and inner ring, are made of non-magnetic and non-conductive ceramic materials. This device can solve the problems of eddy current heat, electrolytic corrosion, and grease solidification of the bearing caused by the high-speed rotation of the wheel body cutting the magnetic field of the superconducting magnet. At the same time, it relies on the rubber pad between the outer ring of the bearing and the mounting seat to reduce vibration.

[0004] However, the devices in the prior art have the following disadvantages: First, the load-bearing capacity and maximum speed of the ceramic bearings are limited. When bearing the weight of the train, they can only provide short-term support and guidance after a quench at a speed of about 550 km / h. If the use time exceeds the range, it is easy to cause structural damage and grease solidification due to frictional heat, and the durability is low; Second, the ceramic bearings have poor impact resistance. Buffering and vibration reduction are achieved by adding a rubber ring between the bearing outer ring and the bearing mounting bracket. Due to size limitations, the rubber ring's buffering and vibration reduction performance is limited and the damping is relatively small. After a quench and fall, the ceramic bearings and the vehicle are subjected to a large impact and there is a risk of multiple bounces and falls. Therefore, high requirements are placed on the strength and rigidity of the ceramic bearings and the overall structure of the train, which is not conducive to lightweighting; Third, the wheel body is directly in contact with the track and is subjected to extremely large impact, so metal materials still need to be used. During use, the wheel body rotates at high speed to cut through the strong magnetic field generated by the superconducting magnet, and there are still problems with eddy current heat and eddy current resistance.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form.

At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The techniques, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0024] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an emergency support and guide shoe suitable for low vacuum pipeline superconducting electric magnetic levitation, wherein the emergency support and guide shoe includes a wear plate 1, a mounting assembly, a main metal rubber part 4, a secondary metal rubber part 5 and a fastener 6. The lower surface of the wear plate 1 is provided with an inclined surface for contacting the track, and the mounting assembly includes a first mounting base (suspension frame end mounting base) 2 for connecting to the suspension frame and a second mounting base (wear plate end mounting base) 3 for connecting to the wear plate 1. The second mounting base 3 is arranged on the upper surface of the wear plate 1, and a main mounting groove is provided at the upper end of the second mounting base 3, and a secondary mounting groove is provided at the lower end, and the bottom of the main mounting groove and the bottom of the secondary mounting groove are connected by a through hole. The main metal rubber part 4 is arranged in the main mounting groove, and the secondary metal rubber part 5 is arranged in the secondary mounting groove. The first mounting base 2 is provided with a boss, and the boss passes through the main metal rubber part 4 and enters the through hole. The fastener 6 passes through the secondary metal rubber part 5 and is connected to the boss.

[0025] The fasteners connect upward with the bosses, securing the primary and secondary metal rubber components in their respective mounting slots. This allows the primary and secondary metal rubber components, along with the first and second mounting bases, to form a single unit. When a train falls due to a quench in the superconducting magnets, the primary and secondary metal rubber components compress and deform based on the train's falling posture, providing six-degree-of-freedom cushioning and vibration reduction while ensuring contact between the wear plate and the track.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, a sliding shoe type emergency support structure is adopted to replace the wheel type emergency support structure, and there is no need to set up high-speed rotating parts, which solves the problem of eddy current heat and eddy current resistance generated by the metal wheel body cutting the magnetic field at high speed; there is no need to use ceramic bearings, so that the use of sliding shoes is not limited by the load and maximum speed of ceramic bearings; and metal rubber is used as a buffering and vibration isolation element, which has a high damping ratio of 0.1-0.2 and a high heat resistance of not less than 400℃-600℃. After the sliding shoes are assembled, they have a certain range of six-degree-of-freedom movement space, so as to adapt to different falling postures, with strong buffering and vibration reduction performance and small maximum overload of the train.

[0027] The emergency support and guide shoes described in the present invention can be installed on the bottom and sides of the train, typically on a suspension frame. For example, each suspension frame can be equipped with four sets of the emergency support and guide shoes described in the present invention on the bottom, and two sets on each side.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inclined surface provided on the lower surface of the wear plate 1 can be formed by chamfering both ends of the wear plate 1 .

[0029] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main metal rubber part 4 and the secondary metal rubber part 5 are annular structures, and the inner diameter of the main metal rubber part 4 is the same as the inner diameter of the secondary metal rubber part 5, the outer diameter of the main metal rubber part 4 is the same as the outer diameter of the secondary metal rubber part 5, and the height of the main metal rubber part 4 is greater than the height of the secondary metal rubber part 5.

[0030] The main metal rubber part adopts a larger size and can have a larger compressible amount, providing buffering and vibration isolation in all directions for the train during the train fall and subsequent operation; while the secondary metal rubber part adopts a smaller size, which can ensure the relative operation between the fastener and the first mounting base, and at the same time provide a certain buffering and vibration isolation capability in the axial direction.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the fastener 6 is a fastening screw, the boss is provided with a threaded hole, and the fastening screw is matched and connected with the threaded hole.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting base 2 is connected to the suspension frame via a connecting member, and the second mounting base 3 is connected to the wear plate 1 via a connecting member.

[0033] For example, the connecting member is a screw, and the screw cooperates with the threaded hole in the wear plate to achieve the connection between the second mounting base and the wear plate. The screw can pass through the fastener to connect with the threaded hole in the wear plate, or pass through the second mounting base to connect with the threaded hole in the wear plate.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the material of the wear plate 1 is austenitic stainless steel (for example, austenitic stainless steel 0Cr18Ni9Ti) or titanium alloy (for example, titanium alloy TC4).

[0035] For example, the wear plate may be integrally machined from austenitic stainless steel or titanium alloy.

[0036] The use of these materials can reduce rail wear while ensuring manageable wear on the wear plate itself. Furthermore, by calculating and testing the heat flux distribution coefficient and wear of the friction pair during design, it is possible to ensure that the wear plate's thickness covers the wear while also providing sufficient high-temperature strength.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the first mounting base 2 and the second mounting base 3 is austenitic stainless steel or titanium alloy.

[0038] For example, the first mounting base is integrally machined from austenitic stainless steel or titanium alloy, with mounting holes (e.g., threaded holes) machined therein for secure attachment to the suspension frame. Its boss is integrally connected to the primary metal rubber component, the secondary metal rubber component, and the second mounting base or wear plate via screws. The second mounting base is integrally machined from austenitic stainless steel or titanium alloy, with mounting holes (e.g., threaded holes) machined therein for secure attachment to the wear plate. It is integrally connected to the primary metal rubber component, the secondary metal rubber component, and the first mounting base via screws.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the main metal rubber component 4 and the auxiliary metal rubber component 5 are made of austenitic stainless steel wire or alloy wire.

[0040] For example, the primary metal rubber component 4 and the secondary metal rubber component 5 may be homogeneous elastic porous buffer vibration reduction elements formed by pressing austenitic stainless steel wire or high-temperature alloy wire.

[0041] Therefore, the main metal rubber component and the auxiliary metal rubber component can have high temperature resistance and high damping ratio characteristics.

[0042] The high temperature alloy wire may be, for example, GH4169 alloy wire.

[0043] By rationally designing the stiffness of the primary metal rubber member and the secondary metal rubber member, it is possible to ensure that the lateral overload coefficient of the suspension frame and the train body is no greater than 3 and the vertical overload coefficient is no greater than 5 when the timeout period is exceeded. In order to avoid obscuring the present invention, this will not be described in detail.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the fastener 6 is austenitic stainless steel or titanium alloy.

[0045] For example, the fastening screw is integrally machined from austenitic stainless steel or titanium alloy, and one end thereof is threaded, which is used to connect the main metal rubber part, the auxiliary metal rubber part, the first mounting base, and the second mounting base or the wear plate into a whole. After connection, the device has a certain range of six-degree-of-freedom motion space and six-degree-of-freedom buffering and vibration isolation capabilities.

[0046] Continue to refer Figure 1 and 2 Two sets of mounting components can be provided on each wear plate 1, and each set of mounting components is correspondingly provided with a main metal rubber part 4, a secondary metal rubber part 5 and a fastener 6. For the two sets of mounting components, axial and radial compressibility is reserved.

[0047] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above description of quantity is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0049] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0050] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
