Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of railway diesel-electric locomotives, and in particular to a power module for railway diesel-electric locomotives and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the power value provided by the internal combustion engines of different models of railway diesel-electric locomotives is determined before the locomotive leaves the factory. Therefore, the maximum power value provided by the power system of the locomotive after leaving the factory is fixed, and the locomotive can only perform traction operations based on the fixed maximum power value provided by the power system under the condition that its use requirements are met. As a result, enterprises can only purchase multiple locomotives to meet the use requirements of various application scenarios in daily operations, resulting in repeated investment and property waste for enterprises; at the same time, it also increases the maintenance costs of enterprises for maintenance work on multiple locomotives.

[0003] Moreover, the power system used in current railway locomotives has low reliability. Once the internal combustion engine fails and stops, the power system can no longer provide additional traction power for the locomotive, resulting in the locomotive being unable to drive away from the operating line to the repair shop and can only wait for a tow truck to rescue it. As a result, the locomotive that has failed and cannot drive occupies limited line resources while waiting for rescue, seriously affecting the operation of other vehicles on the railway line. There is also a serious risk of affecting the safe operation of the railway line. Summary of the invention

The generator 4 is used to convert the mechanical power output by the internal combustion engine 1 into electrical energy to provide the power required for traction operation for the electric locomotive; the shock absorber 2 is used to adjust the vibration amplitude generated by the internal combustion engine 1 after it starts running, so that the internal combustion engine 1 can run smoothly; and the second is to reduce the vibration impact transmitted from the wheels to the internal combustion engine 1 after the locomotive is running, so as to avoid damage to the internal combustion engine 1.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the heat dissipation device 9 includes a cooling radiator 91, a blowing fan 92, a third pulley 93 and a third transmission shaft 94; the cooling radiator 91, the blowing fan 92 and the third pulley 93 are sequentially arranged on the third transmission shaft 94, and the two ends of the third transmission shaft 94 are rotatably connected to the frame structure through bearings 10; the third pulley 93 is arranged opposite to the second pulley 632, and the third pulley 93 is connected to the second pulley 632 through a second belt member 622. The cooling radiator 91 is used to cool and dissipate the heat generated after the operation of the internal combustion engine 1 to prevent the internal combustion engine 1 from being damaged due to overheating; after the second pulley 632 transmits power to the third pulley 93 through the second belt member 622, the third pulley 93 drives the blowing fan 92 to rotate through the third transmission shaft 94 to blow air, providing cooling air volume for the cooling radiator 12, the internal combustion engine 1 and the motor 11.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the two-way clutch 3 includes a clutch outer ring structure 31 and a clutch inner ring structure 32; and the two-way clutch 3 can realize the functions of clutch and power transmission according to the rotation direction of the clutch outer ring structure 31 and the clutch inner ring structure 32. The structure of the two-way clutch 3 is an existing well-known technology, not the invention point of the present application, and will not be repeated here; the output end of the internal combustion engine 1 is connected to the clutch inner ring structure 32 through the first transmission member 6111 of the first transmission shaft 611; the clutch outer ring structure 31 is connected to the input end of the generator 4 through the second transmission member 6112 of the first transmission shaft 611, and the outer periphery of the clutch outer ring structure 31 is provided with a first belt member 621; and the clutch outer ring structure 31 is connected to the first pulley 631 through the first belt member 621. When the clutch outer ring structure 31 rotates clockwise, the clutch outer ring structure 31 and the clutch inner ring structure 32 are combined; when the clutch outer ring structure 31 rotates counterclockwise, the clutch outer ring structure 31 and the clutch inner ring structure 32 are separated.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the output end of the internal combustion engine 1 is provided with a power monitoring device, which can be specifically a power sensor, and the power monitoring device is electrically connected to the input end of the control system of the internal combustion electric locomotive; and the output end of the control system is electrically connected to the motor 8.

[0054] A method for using a power module for a railway diesel-electric locomotive, such as Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0055] Step S1: The real-time output power of the output end of the internal combustion engine 1 is collected by a power monitoring device and transmitted to the control system of the internal combustion electric locomotive. The control system compares the real-time output power with the set output power threshold and generates a control signal of the motor working mode; the motor working mode includes a power-off working mode, an additional power mode and an emergency operation mode;

[0056] Step S2: If the real-time output power at the output end of the internal combustion engine 1 is greater than the set output power threshold, the control system generates a control signal of the power-off working mode and sends it to the motor 8; that is, when the maximum power provided by the internal combustion engine 1 in the locomotive power system meets the locomotive traction operation requirements, the motor 8 is in the power-off working mode. The internal combustion engine 1 rotates in a clockwise direction to output power, and drives the inner ring structure 32 of the two-way clutch to rotate in a clockwise direction through the first transmission member 6111. After the outer ring structure 31 of the two-way clutch is driven by the inner ring structure 32 of the two-way clutch and rotates in a clockwise direction, the power output by the internal combustion engine 1 is transmitted to the generator 4 in sequence through the first transmission member 6111, the inner ring structure 32 of the two-way clutch, the outer ring structure 31 of the two-way clutch and the first transmission member 6112. The generator 4 converts the mechanical power output by the internal combustion engine 1 into electrical energy to provide the power required for the operation of the diesel-electric locomotive; the outer ring structure 31 of the two-way clutch is driven by the two-way clutch. After the inner ring structure 32 of the clutch is driven and rotates in a clockwise direction, the outer ring structure 31 of the two-way clutch drives the first pulley 631 to rotate in a clockwise direction through the first belt member 621; the first pulley 631 drives the motor 8 and the second pulley 632 to rotate through the second transmission shaft 612; after the second pulley 632 transmits power to the third pulley 633 through the first belt member 622, the third pulley 633 drives the third transmission shaft 94 to rotate, and the rotation of the third transmission shaft 94 drives the blowing fan 92 to rotate and blow air; the blowing fan 92 rotates to blow air to provide cooling air volume for cooling the heat generated by the cooling radiator 91 and the internal combustion engine 1 in the frame structure.

[0057] Step S3: If the real-time output power of the output end of the internal combustion engine 1 is less than or equal to the set output power threshold, the control system generates a control signal of the first additional power mode and sends it to the motor 8; that is, when the maximum power provided by the internal combustion engine 1 cannot meet the locomotive traction operation requirements, the control system compares the rated output power of the internal combustion engine 1 with the real-time output power, obtains the power value that needs to be supplemented, and generates a control signal; the motor 8 is connected to the locomotive's built-in battery device, the motor 8 receives the control command of the control system to output the first additional power, and the output end of the motor 8 and the output end of the internal combustion engine 1 both rotate clockwise; the first additional power output by the motor 8 is transmitted to the first pulley 631 through the second transmission shaft 612, and the first pulley 631 transmits the first additional power to the clutch outer ring structure 31 of the two-way clutch 3 through the first belt member 621; the clutch outer ring structure 31 transmits the first additional power to the generator 4 through the second transmission member 6112, and the generator 4 converts the first additional power output by the motor 8 and the power output by the internal combustion engine 1 into electrical energy and transmits it to the locomotive power system. At this time, the generator 4 transmits the power jointly output by the electric motor 8 and the internal combustion engine 1 to the locomotive power system to meet the power required for the normal traction operation of the locomotive at this time. In this way, the same locomotive can meet the use requirements of various application scenarios in the daily operation of the enterprise, solving the problem of repeated investment and property waste caused by the enterprise purchasing multiple locomotives, and reducing the maintenance costs generated by the enterprise for maintenance work on multiple locomotives.

[0058] Step S4: When the power monitoring device cannot detect the output power of the output end of the internal combustion engine, the control system generates a control signal of the emergency operation mode and sends it to the motor 8; that is, when the internal combustion engine 1 fails and stops and cannot output power to the generator 4, the locomotive cannot run; at this time, the battery of the locomotive can power the motor 8, and the motor 8 can only rotate in the counterclockwise direction and output the second additional power; the second additional power output by the motor 8 is transmitted to the first pulley 631 through the second transmission shaft 612, and the first pulley 631 transmits the second additional power to the first pulley 631. The second additional power is transmitted to the clutch outer ring structure 31 of the two-way clutch 3 through the first belt member 621; the outer ring structure 31 of the two-way clutch rotates in the counterclockwise direction, and the clutch outer ring structure 31 transmits the second additional power to the generator 4 through the second transmission member 6112. At this time, the inner ring structure 32 of the two-way clutch can be separated from the outer ring structure 31 of the two-way clutch, that is, the inner ring structure 32 of the two-way clutch does not rotate, so that the second additional power of the motor 8 cannot be transmitted to the internal combustion engine 1, avoiding the internal combustion engine 1 from being damaged by reverse drag. The generator 4 converts the second additional power output by the motor 8 into electric energy to provide the electric locomotive with the traction power required for self-driving from the operating line to the repair shop, so that there is no need to wait for the towing truck to rescue and occupy limited line resources, which solves the risk of seriously affecting the operation of other vehicles on the railway line and the risk of safe operation of the railway line, and makes the locomotive have the effect of high reliability. Among them, the software programming and control program setting of the power module involved in this embodiment are all existing known technologies, not the invention of this application, and will not be repeated here.

[0059] Step S5: The motor converts the output power transmitted by the second transmission member into electric energy and transmits it to the locomotive power system. The internal combustion electric locomotive can achieve optimal power distribution according to the use requirements of various application scenarios, and can solve the problem that the locomotive vehicle cannot drive away from the operating line to the repair shop due to failure or shutdown of the internal combustion engine carried by the locomotive, thereby occupying line resources and affecting the operation of other vehicles, and there is a risk of safe operation of the line. It has the functions of small module size, low auxiliary power loss, easy installation, easy maintenance and high reliability.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
