Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of railway vehicle bogie technology, and more specifically to a vibration reduction system for intelligent auxiliary cornering steering of railway vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] Anti-hunting vibration dampers are widely used in the field of rail transit vehicle suspension. They are installed between the bogie and the car body to attenuate high and low frequency pitching and swaying vibrations caused by uneven tracks during vehicle operation.
[0003] As the operating speed of rail transit vehicles continues to increase, the lateral force between the bogie wheel flange and the rail increases when the vehicle goes through curves, which intensifies the wear on the wheel flange and the rail, increases the cost of wheel turning and rail grinding, affects the life of the vehicle wheelset and rail, and also affects the vehicle's traction performance.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vibration reduction system for rail vehicles that can both attenuate vehicle vibration and reduce wear on wheel flanges and rails when cornering. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vibration reduction system for intelligent auxiliary cornering of rail vehicles. The system comprises at least a steering damper installed between the bogie and the car body, a controller installed on the car body, and a connecting cable between the steering damper and the controller. The steering dampers are arranged between two bogies and the car body, with two steering dampers symmetrically arranged on each bogie. One end of each steering damper is hinged to the bogie, and the other end is hinged to the car body. Displacement sensors are built into the steering dampers. The controller detects the displacement of each steering damper and, based on the vehicle layout and train direction, calculates the radius and direction of the curve. This automatically adjusts the system's operating mode, outputting that each steering damper is in active thrust mode, active pull mode, or passive damping mode. This improves vibration damping and provides comfort when the vehicle travels on straight or small curves, and provides auxiliary cornering force when traveling on large curves. It also reduces lateral forces between the bogie flange and the rail, decreases flange and rail wear, and improves vehicle traction performance.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application is an intelligent auxiliary curve steering damping system for a railway vehicle, which is composed of a vehicle body 1, a first bogie 2 and a second bogie 3 symmetrically arranged on the vehicle body 1.
[0065] The vehicle body 1 is hingedly connected with the centers of the first bogie 2 and the second bogie 3.
[0066] The steering dampers 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first bogie 2 and on both sides of the second bogie 3.
[0067] One end of the steering damper 4 located on both sides of the first bogie 2 is connected to the first bogie 2, and the other end of the steering damper 4 is hinged to the vehicle body 1;
[0068] One end of the steering damper 4 located on both sides of the second bogie 3 is connected to the second bogie 3, and the other end of the steering damper 4 is hinged to the vehicle body 1;
[0069] A controller 101 is also installed on the vehicle body 1, which is electrically connected to each steering damper 4 through a cable for work control of the steering damper 4.
[0070] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the passive tensile damping implementation process of the steering damper 4, when the steering damper 4 is subjected to tension, the oil in the rod cavity 401 of the steering damper 4 generates damping through the tensile damping valve 7, then flows into the oil storage cavity 402 through the middle position of the two-way three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6, and generates a tensile damping force in the rod cavity 401, at the same time, the rodless cavity 403 of the steering damper 4 absorbs oil from the oil storage cavity 402 through the tensile oil absorption check valve 8.
[0071] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the passive compression damping implementation process of the steering damper 4, when the steering damper 4 is subjected to compression, the oil in the rodless cavity 403 of the steering damper 4 generates damping through the compression damping valve 701, then flows into the oil storage cavity 402 through the middle position of the two-way three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6, and generates a compression damping force in the rodless cavity 403, at the same time, the rod cavity 401 of the steering damper 4 absorbs oil from the oil storage cavity 402 through the compression oil absorption check valve 801.
[0072] Referring to Figure 4 , the multi-stage damping characteristic implementation process of the steering damper 4, the damping valve is composed of a damping hole 702 and a plurality of gradient setting unloading valves 703 in parallel, at different speeds, the steering damper 4 flows through the damping valve at different flow rates, and the unloading valve 704 is gradually opened according to the pressure gradient, which can adjust the damping characteristic requirements of multiple speed points of the steering damper 4.
[0073] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the active tensile force implementation process of the steering damper 4, when the right coil of the two-way three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6 of the steering damper 4 is electrified, the two-way three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6 is switched to the right position, the electric pump 5 is electrified to pump high-pressure oil from the oil storage cylinder through the two-way three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6, then open the hydraulic lock to flow into the rod cavity 401, thereby generating a tensile force;
[0074] At the same time, the oil in the rodless cavity 403 flows into the oil storage cavity 402 through the hydraulic lock and the two-position three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6. When the steering damper 4 reaches the balance position, the excess oil of the electric pump 5 flows back to the oil storage cavity 402 through the tension pressure limiting valve 9, and the active tension is adjusted by adjusting the tension pressure limiting valve 9.
[0075] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the active thrust action of the steering damper 4 is implemented. When the left coil of the two-position three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6 of the steering damper 4 is powered, the two-position three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6 works in the left position. The electric pump 5 is powered to pump oil from the oil storage cylinder, which flows into the rodless cavity 403 through the two-position three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6 after opening the hydraulic lock, thereby generating an active thrust action.
[0076] At the same time, the oil in the rodless cavity 403 flows into the oil storage cavity 402 through the hydraulic lock and the two-position three-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6. When the steering damper 4 reaches the balance position, the excess oil of the electric pump 5 flows back to the oil storage cavity 402 through the tension pressure limiting valve 9, and the active tension is adjusted by adjusting the tension pressure limiting valve 9.
