Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of magnetic track brakes for rail transit vehicles, and specifically relates to a method for calculating the friction coefficient of a magnetic track brake. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetic rail brakes are a new type of brake developed to adapt to the popularization and high speed of rail vehicles. When braking, the electromagnet uses electromagnetic attraction to press the rail tightly. The braking force is generated by the sliding friction between the pole shoes on the electromagnet and the rail, and the kinetic energy of the rail vehicle is converted into heat energy and dissipated into the atmosphere, thereby slowing down the vehicle.
[0003] Currently, there is no 1:1 braking power test bench in the industry that simulates the actual working conditions of a whole vehicle for testing the friction coefficient of magnetic track brakes. As a result, it is impossible to accurately determine the actual friction coefficient of magnetic track brakes. The friction coefficient of magnetic track brakes can only be predicted and inferred based on experience. However, the value of the friction coefficient of magnetic track brakes predicted and inferred based on experience is often distorted, which brings difficulties and inconvenience to the braking calculation and braking distance test of railcars.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to calculate the friction coefficient of magnetic track brakes. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for calculating the friction coefficient of a magnetic track brake, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for calculating the friction coefficient of a magnetic track brake. The magnetic track brake is installed below the two side frames of the bogie and between the two wheels on the same side of the railcar. Each railcar has n sets of the magnetic track brake installed at its bottom. The method includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Obtain initial parameters through testing: The initial parameters include the mass m of the railcar, the rotational mass mr, the measured braking distance S3 of the railcar, and the measured response and idle time t of the magnetic track brake. e ;
[0008] Step 2: Based on the given initial parameters, calculate the braking mass M, the unloaded distance S1, and the average deceleration a of the railcar. The calculation formulas are as follows:
[0009] M = m + mr
[0010] S1=V0t e
[0011]
[0012] Where V0 is the actual speed measured during the test of the railcar;
[0013] Step 3: Calculate the effective braking distance S2 and average braking force F of the railcar. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0014] S2 = S3 - S1
[0015] F = M × a
[0016] Step 4: Calculate the equivalent deceleration 'a' of the railcar. e and the average braking force F borne by each magnetic track brake ' The calculation formula is as follows:
[0017]
[0018] F′=F / n
[0019] Step 5: Calculate the average friction coefficient of the magnetic track brake. And calculate the equivalent braking force F of the railcar e The calculation formula is as follows:
[0020]
[0021] F e =M×a e
[0022] Where Q is the design value of the suction force for each set of magnetic track brakes;
[0023] Step 6: Calculate the equivalent braking force F borne by each set of magnetic track brakes. e The calculation formula is as follows:
[0024] F e ′=F e / n
[0025] Step 7: Calculate the equivalent friction coefficient μ of the magnetic track brake. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0026] μ = F e ′ / Q.
[0027] Furthermore, the specific steps for obtaining the initial parameters in step 1 are as follows:
[0028] The test track vehicle was in a ready state and underwent six complete weighing operations in a row, three times in each of the forward and backward directions. The arithmetic mean of the six measurements was taken as the mass m of the track vehicle.
[0029] The rotational mass mr is calculated as 8% to 8.2% of the mass m of the test track vehicle;
[0030] The measured braking distance S3 was determined on a straight track, under the load required by the design, and at least 3 tests were conducted for each braking condition.
[0031] Furthermore, the test method for the actual braking distance of the railcar is as follows: the power supply of the traction motor should be disconnected before the test railcar passes the braking mark point, the speed of the test railcar should be close to the specified speed, and the required braking method should be applied when it reaches the mark point.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0033] This invention discloses a method for calculating the friction coefficient of a magnetic track brake. First, relevant data of the railcar is acquired or measured. Then, calculations are performed using the method described in this invention. The calculation results accurately reflect the actual friction coefficient of the magnetic track brake under different initial velocities, loads, braking distances, and response times. This facilitates railcar braking calculations and braking distance testing, and provides a scientific basis for calculating the friction coefficient of magnetic track brakes under different initial velocities, loads, braking distances, and response times in similar projects during the design and development phase, thus shortening the relevant verification cycle. Furthermore, this invention solves the problem of lacking a 1:1 braking power testing platform simulating actual vehicle operating conditions to test the friction coefficient of magnetic track brakes. Compared to traditional empirical predictions of magnetic track brake friction coefficients, this invention significantly improves the authenticity and accuracy of the data.
