Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of combustible cargo transportation friction test, in particular to a simulation railway freight friction heat generation spontaneous combustion fire test system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Railway freight transportation is one of the important ways of material transportation. According to statistics, the proportion of railway freight transportation in the whole society is increasing year by year, which provides strong power support for the rapid economic development.

[0003] However, in recent years, railway freight train fire accidents have occurred from time to time. Fire often leads to line damage and train interruption, which poses a great threat to railway transportation safety, causes great loss to people's life and property, and also brings serious negative impact to the society.

[0004] Many fires of freight trains are actually the coupling of multiple factors, which not only depends on the physical and chemical conditions of the combustible material itself, but also closely related to the loading conditions of the cargo, the running conditions of the railway transportation, and various factors such as weather environment. The loading conditions of the cargo include mixed loading degree, loading height and width, loading method, the running conditions and environmental factors include speed, vibration, acceleration, etc. Environmental factors include temperature, humidity, etc.

[0005] One of the important factors is that during the running of the freight train, due to the track irregularity, the movement of the wheelset and the characteristics of the vehicle suspension system itself, the vehicle produces complex vibration. Vibration in mechanics refers to the reciprocating motion of a particle around its equilibrium position. This vibration mainly includes the vibration caused by the heave vibration, nodding vibration and roll vibration of the vehicle body. If the freight car is loaded with more cargo, the flammable material is in contact with the compartment, and this vibration will cause long-time friction between the loaded flammable cargo and the compartment, especially when the cargo and the vehicle resonate, the vibration received by the cargo is amplified, and the friction is more intense, thereby generating a certain amount of heat. In high temperature weather, due to the poor heat dissipation condition of the closed van, the long-time accumulated friction heat will penetrate into the combustible material through solid conduction, and if the temperature reaches the heat self-ignition temperature of the combustible material, it may cause heat self-ignition, and then produce smoldering and open fire, and finally cause a fire.

[0006] However, the vibration friction test scheme for combustible cargo in the related art has the following problems:

[0007] (1) The traditional small-scale and medium-scale combustible cargo vibration friction test scheme contains a large number of electrical facilities (such as servo motors, etc.), and the equipment has poor fire resistance, and is not suitable for the test of the vibration friction of combustible cargo in high-temperature climate. The large-scale experimental device has high experimental cost due to large sample size, and cannot perform multiple experiments and accurate analysis due to environmental factors. Other combustible material transportation vibration friction and methods (such as hydraulic vibration table, mechanical vibration test, etc.) cannot apply vertical vibration and metal contact conditions to the combustible material. There is no small-scale and medium-scale experimental device that conforms to the actual situation of the vibration friction of combustible materials in a fire.

[0008] (2) The traditional simulation freight train vibration table is carried out in a natural environment, which is quite different from the actual high-temperature climate condition of the vibration friction of goods, and cannot accurately simulate and analyze the situation of combustible goods in the actual high-temperature climate environment, especially the vertical contact with the car door. And in most cases, the combustible goods are in contact with the metal car door, and are subjected to vibration caused by train operation at the initial stage of starting. The natural room temperature and no vertical constraint cannot analyze the friction-induced spontaneous combustion behavior of combustible goods in high-temperature climate. SUMMARY

[0009] Therefore, the main purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a friction-induced spontaneous combustion ignition test system and method for simulating railway transportation of combustible goods in high-temperature climate, which can provide reliable data support for the mutual vibration friction mechanism of combustible goods and car doors in high-temperature climate, and the device has the advantages of simple structure, easy operation and high safety factor.

[0105] Further, the surface temperature of the sample V is measured by the thermal imager 310 through the transparent glass surface 330 of the box, the spontaneous combustion flame image is recorded by the visible light camera 320, and the critical ignition temperature and time of the sample V are recorded.

[0106] Further, the vibration frequency, the vibration amplitude of the exciter and the type of the sample to be tested are adjusted, and the above operations S1-S6 are tested.

[0107] The simulation railway freight friction heat spontaneous combustion ignition test system and method of the embodiments of the present disclosure have at least one or part of the following beneficial effects:

[0108] (1) The load applying device used in the present disclosure does not contain electrical equipment and is outside the heating compartment, so long-time heating tests can be carried out, and it is not easy to be damaged by high temperature, so the heating device can not only use convection heating, but also can use radiation heating, which can more accurately simulate the stress condition of the transported goods and the internal temperature rising process under the actual high temperature environment. The vibration device used in the present disclosure is a small single-direction vibration device, which can perform local contact vibration on the sample to be tested, thereby simulating the state of the convex part of the carriage door of the freight train and the goods during transportation, and the vertical vibration between the door and the object caused by train operation and other factors. The present disclosure does not vibrate the entire box, and there is no need to apply constraints on the box and the vibration device. The test vibration friction phenomenon is more consistent with the actual high-temperature environment friction heat development process.

[0109] (2) Based on the vibration friction device, the load applying device and the constant temperature heating device, the key factors or parameters of friction heat generation in the high-temperature environment, especially in the relatively closed box, can be measured by using digital transmitters and other measuring devices. The temperature collection device can be used to measure the temperature parameters of the sample when it is subjected to vibration friction, so as to reflect the influence of different environmental temperatures and load application on the vibration mode of the transported goods during transportation, and to provide experimental and theoretical support for improving the safety management level of railway freight transportation.

[0110] The above describes the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, these embodiments are only for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Although each embodiment is described above, this does not mean that the measures in each embodiment cannot be used advantageously in combination. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. Without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art can make various substitutions and modifications, which should all fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
