TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of high-speed train pressure relief ventilation pipeline, especially a kind of high-speed train pressure relief system when entering and exiting tunnel. BACKGROUND
[0002] Now high-speed train becomes one of important tools for people to travel, and high-speed train often needs pressure relief device to reduce the influence of tunnel pressure wave when entering and exiting tunnel, to ensure the safety of driving and the comfort of passengers in the car.
[0003] When train enters and exits tunnel, air in the tunnel cannot be timely removed due to viscosity and friction, and thus occurs violent fluctuation, generating a tunnel pressure wave propagating along the direction of train travel. The fluctuation of tunnel pressure wave is transmitted into the car through the car body, forming a pressure difference between inside and outside the car, causing passengers to have tinnitus and ear membrane pain, and even ear membrane rupture in severe cases. In order to alleviate the tinnitus and ear membrane pain of passengers caused by the pressure difference between inside and outside the room, and to fully ensure the comfort of passengers, sealing measures are mostly used during railway operation, but the research on pressure relief method is essential during train line operation. The existence of the pressure relief method not only improves the comfort of high-speed railway passengers, but also prolongs the service life of car body structure and components, and provides good aerodynamic protection.
[0004] At present, the air tightness is ensured by reducing the material transfer between each lap joint surface of the car, and the gaps between doors, windows and orifices, so as to form sealing force on both sides of the sealing surface. When entering and exiting tunnel, the air exchange duct is closed by stop valve, and the inlet and outlet air volume is controlled by high static pressure fan, so as to reduce the change range of pressure difference between inside and outside the car when passing through the tunnel, thereby ensuring the comfort of passengers. Through research, scholars at home and abroad found that trains with good air tightness can effectively suppress the fluctuation of car pressure, and thus reasonable design of air tightness of train and installation of car pressure protection device become mainstream methods. Some of them use special devices for pressure relief, and the pressure relief principle is mostly to use a pressure relief device similar to a one-way valve. When the indoor pressure is too large, the gas is discharged from the indoor to the outside in one direction, that is, a device for directly controlling the flow of air in the car is used. The application of the device needs to be used on the premise of ensuring the sealing of the train, and the flow of air in and out of the car where passengers are located is directly controlled by the valve. The air flow discharged by the present application is not communicated with the car where passengers are located, that is, the air is discharged and pressure is relieved on the basis of ensuring the sealing of the original car where passengers are located. There are few related researches on the methods for ensuring that passengers are not affected by the pressure difference without sealing. SUMMARY

[0022] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0023] As Figs. 1-3 shown, a pressure relief system for high-speed trains entering and leaving tunnels uses a non-sealed train pressure relief structure to adjust the compression wave generated by the train head when the train enters the tunnel section to reduce the pressure on the train body and passengers inside to ensure passenger comfort.
[0024] When the high-speed train enters the tunnel, the personnel area remains sealed, which does not affect the comfort of passengers inside the train. On the premise of ensuring the safety of train operation, the pressure relief ventilation pipeline is independent of the passenger compartment space, so that the pressure generated during the train's entry into the tunnel flows through the special channel, and the passenger area remains sealed, thereby reducing the impact of sudden changes in air pressure in the compartment on passenger comfort. The special pressure relief channel automatically controls the opening and closing of the related new exhaust port through a pressure sensing device. When the high-speed train enters the tunnel, the new exhaust port is opened by the pressure sensing device. When the train leaves the tunnel, the related new exhaust port is automatically closed by the pressure sensing device.
[0025] The partial resistance of this pressure relief channel is smaller than that of the passenger compartment space, and the pressure wave preferentially selects the channel with small resistance to flow through, thereby achieving the purpose of relieving the pressure in the passenger compartment and ensuring passenger comfort.
