[0026] Working principle: Compressed air can be input into the air relay valve 25 and the differential relay valve 19 through the outlet 27-2 of the master brake valve 27, and compressed air can be input into the air relay valve 25 through the outlet 13-2 of the hand brake valve 13, causing the first brake cylinder 21 to generate braking. As long as the master brake valve 27 and the hand brake valve 13 do not fail at the same time, it helps to ensure the safety and reliability of the braking of the locomotive and the towed mine car. At the same time, the high-pressure gas entering the inlet 27-1 of the master brake valve 27 can pass through the brake... The air discharged from the outlet 27-2 of valve 27 reaches the inlet 25-1 of air relay valve 25, controlling the air outlet 25-2 of air relay valve 25 to exhaust air, which finally reaches the air inlet / outlet 21-4 of the front brake chamber of the first brake cylinder 21, achieving the purpose of braking and decelerating the locomotive and the towed mine car during operation; operating the handbrake valve 13 can change the handbrake valve from the driving position to the parking position. The high-pressure air originally in the air tank 11, after being filtered by the air filter 7, enters the air inlet of the handbrake valve 13. At this time, the air outlet 13-2 of the handbrake valve 13 is connected to the exhaust port 13-3 of the handbrake valve 13, and the high-pressure air entering from the air inlet 13-1 of the handbrake valve 13 is directly discharged to the atmosphere; the handbrake valve 13 sends an exhaust (pressure relief) signal to the air inlet and outlet 21-5 of the rear brake chamber of the first brake cylinder 21 through the differential relay valve 19, the first relay valve 20, and the second relay valve 20-1, thereby forcing the air outlets 19-2 and 19-4 of the differential relay valve 19 to communicate with the differential relay valve 20-3. The atmospheric exhaust port 19-3 of the actuator valve 19 is connected to the air inlet and outlet 21-5 of the rear brake chamber of the first brake cylinder 21, which quickly vents the compressed air to achieve emergency braking or long-term parking of the locomotive and the towed mine car; the pressure controller 8 is used to control the start and stop of the motor 14-1, thereby controlling whether the air compressor 14 pumps air, so as to maintain the system pressure within a reasonable range; and the sounding of the air horn 1 can serve as a warning during the operation of the locomotive.
[0027] The analog proportional valve 16 can be activated by a control electrical signal, causing the compressed air from the analog proportional valve 16 to enter the outlet 15-2 through the inlet 15-3 of the emergency brake valve 15, reaching the control port 25-3 of the air relay valve 25, controlling the outlet 25-2 of the air relay valve 25 to exhaust air, which finally reaches the air inlet and outlet 21-4 of the front brake chamber of the first brake cylinder 21, achieving the purpose of braking and decelerating the locomotive and the towed mine car during operation. Using the same principle as controlling the analog proportional valve 16, in an emergency, the electrical signal of the emergency brake valve 15 can also be controlled to achieve the same purpose of braking and decelerating the locomotive and the towed mine car during operation.
[0028] The parking brake control solenoid valve 26, by receiving an electrical signal, causes the high-pressure air in the air tank 11 to be filtered by the air filter 7 and then sent to the air inlet / outlet 21-5 of the rear brake chamber of the first brake cylinder 21 through the differential relay valve 19, the first relay valve 20, and the second relay valve 20-1. This forces the air outlets 19-2 and 19-4 of the differential relay valve 19 to connect with the atmospheric exhaust port 19-3 of the differential relay valve 19, thereby rapidly venting the compressed air inlet / outlet 21-5 of the rear brake chamber of the first brake cylinder 21. This achieves the purpose of emergency braking or long-term parking for the locomotive and the towed mine car.
[0029] The anti-rollover control solenoid valve 28 can be controlled by an electrical signal, allowing compressed air from the main pipeline at the outlet of the air tank 11 to enter the outlet through the interface of the anti-rollover control solenoid valve 28, thereby reaching the rear end interface of the cylinder 29, allowing air to enter the rear end interface of the cylinder 29. Simultaneously, the front end interface of the cylinder 29 is connected to the exhaust port of the anti-rollover control solenoid valve 28, allowing the compressed air at the rear end interface of the cylinder 29 to escape into the atmosphere. At this time, the cylinder 29 is in a released state. Conversely, the anti-rollover control solenoid valve 28 can be controlled by the opposite electrical signal, allowing compressed air from the air tank 11 to enter the outlet port of the main pipeline at the outlet of the air tank 11. Compressed air from the main outlet pipe enters the outlet through the interface of the anti-runaway control solenoid valve 28, thereby reaching the front interface of cylinder 29, allowing air to enter the front interface of cylinder 29. At the same time, the rear interface of cylinder 29 is connected to the exhaust port of the anti-runaway control solenoid valve 28, allowing the compressed air at the rear interface of cylinder 29 to be released into the atmosphere. At this time, cylinder 29 is in a braking state. The anti-runaway control solenoid valve 28 serves as the last line of defense when the braking system fails. By operating the anti-runaway control solenoid valve 28, the locomotive and train can be decelerated and stopped.
