DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages in the embodiments of the present application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0036] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application provides a multi-axle flatcar air brake system, which comprises a plurality of unit brakes 16, a flatcar total wind pipe 7, a flatcar train pipe 5 and a parking control subsystem. The unit brake 16 has a braking state, a releasing state and a parking state. The parking control subsystem comprises a parking control pipeline and a parking air cylinder assembly. The parking control pipeline is connected to the flatcar total wind pipe 7 and the parking interface of each unit brake 16, respectively. The parking air cylinder assembly is arranged on the parking control pipeline. When the parking air cylinder assembly interrupts to provide parking releasing air to the unit brake 16, the unit brake 16 is in the parking state. The brake control subsystem comprises a brake pipeline and an air path control assembly arranged on the brake pipeline. The brake pipeline is connected to the flatcar train pipe 5 and the brake interface of each unit brake 16, respectively. The air path control assembly is used to control the air pressure provided to the unit brake 16 or the path of the air exhaust from the unit brake 16 to the atmosphere, so as to adjust the unit brake 16 to the braking state or the releasing state.
[0037] When the flatcar is running normally, the flatcar total wind pipe 7 is in the inflation state, the parking air cylinder assembly provides parking releasing air to the unit brake 16, and the unit brake 16 does not brake the wheel. When the flatcar stops running, the flatcar total wind pipe 7 is deflated, the parking air cylinder assembly is deflated, the parking releasing air provided to the unit brake 16 is interrupted, and the unit brake 16 automatically switches to the parking state without the need for manual operation, which is convenient for operation.
[0038] The parking air cylinder assembly comprises a parking air cylinder body, and a pipe segment connecting the parking air cylinder body and the flat car main air pipe on the parking control pipeline is a complete pipe body structure, and no other elements are arranged on the pipe segment between the parking air cylinder body and the flat car main air pipe, so that the structure is simplified.
[0039] The parking air cylinder assembly comprises a parking air cylinder body 13, a pressure regulating valve 14 and a second exhaust cutoff valve 15. The parking air cylinder body 13, the pressure regulating valve 14 and the second exhaust cutoff valve 15 are sequentially arranged on the parking control pipeline. The pressure regulating valve 14 is used for adjusting the pressure of the parking air cylinder body 13 to a rated pressure, lifting the parking spring of the unit brake 16, and realizing parking relief. The second exhaust cutoff valve 15 can cut off the parking control pipeline or exhaust the parking air of the unit brake 16.
[0040] In the application, the unit brake 16 is adopted for the foundation brake, the space occupied is small, and the structure is simplified, and meanwhile, the application realizes automatic parking and simplifies the operation.
[0041] When heavy cargo transportation needs to be parked and braked, the multi-axle flat car air brake system of the application can provide effective braking force, and can ensure that the multi-axle flat car can be safely parked and braked within a specified distance, and can realize parking on a specified slope.
[0042] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air path control assembly comprises a 103E air brake valve 12, an 11L working air cylinder 10 and a secondary air cylinder 11. The 103E air brake valve 12, the 11L working air cylinder 10 and the secondary air cylinder 11 are all arranged on the brake pipeline, the 103E air brake valve 12 is used for controlling the on-off of the air path of the secondary air cylinder 11 and the unit brake 16, so as to control the state of adjusting the unit brake 16. When the flat car train pipe 5 is in an inflated state, the 103E air brake valve 12 disconnects the air path of the secondary air cylinder 11 and the unit brake 16, and opens the air exhaust path of the unit brake to the atmosphere, so that the unit brake 16 is in a relief state. When the flat car train pipe 5 is in a deflated state, the 103E air brake valve 12 connects the air path of the secondary air cylinder 11 and the unit brake 16, so that the unit brake 16 is in a braking state.
[0043] 11L working air cylinder 10 is a working air cylinder 10 matched with 103E air brake valve 12. The auxiliary air cylinder 11 can be a 70L auxiliary air cylinder 11, which is a pressure air container, and provides air pressure for the unit brake 16.

It should be noted that the 103E air brake valve, working air cylinder and auxiliary air cylinder provided in the embodiments of the present application are all prior art, and the connection relationship of the three is also prior art. The specific principle thereof will not be described herein.
[0044] The unit brake 16 is a brake execution device of the brake system, which implements braking by pressing the brake shoe against the wheel set through the air pressure of the auxiliary air cylinder 11. It should be noted that the unit brake 16 is a mature technology in the art, and the working principle thereof will not be described herein.
[0045] The multi-axle flat car brake system of the present application uses the 103E air brake valve 12 and the unit brake 16, which can indirectly control the flat car unit brake 16 to implement braking or relief action according to the pressure change of the train pipe, so as to obtain effective braking force. Compared with the lever type brake beam structure of the basic brake device, which leads to low transmission efficiency, and the problems of small installation position of the basic brake beam and interference in the process of loading the small-diameter bogie 18, the cooperation of the 103E air brake valve 12 and the unit brake 16 simplifies the structure, and is more suitable for application in the multi-axle small-diameter flat car brake system to realize the transportation demand of multi-axle heavy load and small space assembly of the bogie 18.
[0046] In a possible implementation, the brake control subsystem comprises a combined dust collector 9, which is arranged on the brake pipeline and located between the flat car train pipe 5 and the 103E air brake valve 12. The combined dust collector 9 is used to filter air impurities entering the 103E brake valve from the flat car train pipe 5.
[0047] In a possible implementation, the brake control subsystem comprises a first exhaust cutoff valve 17, which is arranged on the brake pipeline and located between the 103E air brake valve 12 and each unit brake 16. When the first exhaust cutoff valve 17 is in the exhaust state, each unit brake 16 is switched to the relief state. In this embodiment, the first exhaust cutoff valve 17 can cut off the brake pipeline or exhaust the brake air in the unit brake 16 to the atmosphere.
[0048] In a possible implementation, the multi-axle flatcar air brake system includes an emergency blow-off valve 8 arranged in the flatcar train pipe 5. The emergency blow-off valve 8 is used for manual control and is installed on the flatcar side frame. In case of an emergency during vehicle driving, the train pipe pressure can be exhausted through the emergency blow-off valve 8 to achieve emergency braking.
[0049] In a possible implementation, the multi-axle flatcar air brake system includes a total air hose connector 6 for connecting the traction total air pipe on the traction vehicle and the flatcar total air pipe 7 on the flatcar.

The multi-axle flatcar air brake system includes a second angle cock 3 arranged between the brake hose assembly 2 and the flatcar train pipe 5, which is used to open or cut off the flatcar train pipe 5.
[0053] The multi-axle flatcar air brake system is arranged on a multi-axle flatcar which itself does not have power and controls the braking and release of the flatcar by connecting the traction total air pipe and the traction train pipe on the traction vehicle. The flatcar train pipe 5 and the flatcar total air pipe 7 are provided with air pressure by the traction vehicle, so that the parking air cylinder 13, the auxiliary air cylinder 11 and the working air cylinder 10 reach the rated air pressure. The parking air cylinder 13 adjusts the pressure to the rated air pressure of the unit brake 16 through the pressure regulating valve 14, opens the unit brake 16 against the spring, and makes the whole vehicle in the parking release state. The train pipe is exhausted by the automatic brake valve of the traction vehicle to achieve braking of the whole vehicle.
[0054] The multi-axle flatcar fastens the structural modules and key components through bolts on corresponding mounting seats, and the mounting seats are welded on the main vehicle frame and the bogie 18. The multi-axle flatcar is relatively long, and multiple bogies 18 can be arranged. Multiple sets of multi-axle flatcar air brake systems are used, and one flatcar train pipe 5 and one flatcar total air pipe 7 passing through the whole vehicle are used to supply air for the brake system.
[0055] While the preferred embodiments of the application have been described, additional variations and modifications can be made to these embodiments by those skilled in the art once they have the benefit of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the application.
