DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] The core of the present invention is to provide an energy-absorbing and anti-collision device for a maglev train, which can provide the driver with a longer reaction time to brake the train when an obstacle is present in front of the maglev train. Another core of the present invention is to provide a maglev train including the energy-absorbing and anti-collision device for a maglev train, which can provide the driver with a longer reaction time to brake the train when an obstacle is present in front of the maglev train.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides an energy-absorbing and anti-collision device for a maglev train, which is mainly installed on a maglev train 10. The energy-absorbing and anti-collision device for a maglev train includes an installation box 1, a box body 2, a detection component 3, an electromagnetic device and a reversing device. The installation box 1 is used to be installed on the front of the maglev train 10; the box body 2 is connected to the installation box 1; the detection component 3 is provided in the box body 2, and is used to detect whether there is an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10; the electromagnetic device includes an electromagnet 4 provided in the box body 2 and a power supply connected to the electromagnet 4, and the power supply is used to provide a unidirectional current to the electromagnet 4; the reversing device is provided in the box body 2, and the reversing device is connected between the electromagnet 4 and the power supply, and is used to periodically change the current direction of the electromagnet 4 so that the magnetic pole of the electromagnet 4 is the same as the magnetic pole of the rail electromagnet 101 corresponding to the front of the maglev train 10 on the train track on which the maglev train 10 runs.

[0047] During use, the energy-absorbing and anti-collision device for a maglev train is installed on the front of the maglev train 10 via the installation box 1. When the detection element 3 detects an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10, a unidirectional current is supplied to the electromagnet 4 via a power supply, and the current direction of the electromagnet 4 is periodically changed by the reversing device, so that the magnetic poles of the electromagnet 4 are the same as the magnetic poles of the rail electromagnet 101 corresponding to the frontmost rail electromagnet 10 on the train track on which the maglev train 10 runs. At the same time, the magnetic poles of the electromagnet 4 are opposite to the magnetic poles of the rail electromagnet 101 adjacent to the frontmost rail electromagnet 101 of the maglev train 10. Therefore, by utilizing the principle that magnets with like poles repel and magnets with opposite poles attract, the maglev train 10 can be decelerated. In this way, by decelerating the maglev train 10, a longer reaction time is left for the driver, so that the driver has sufficient time to decelerate and brake the maglev train 10, thereby reducing safety hazards.

[0048] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure, arrangement, and detection principle of the detection member 3, as long as it can detect whether there is an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10. In some embodiments, the detection member 3 includes at least one distance sensor, which is arranged on the anti-collision beam 82. When the number of distance sensors is at least three, the distance sensors are arranged on the anti-collision beam 82 at equal intervals, such as Figure 2 In some embodiments, the distance sensor is an acoustic distance sensor.

[0049] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure and working principle of the commutation device, as long as the commutation device can periodically change the direction of the current flowing to the electromagnet 4, thereby periodically changing the magnetic pole of the electromagnet 4.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 3 to 7 In some embodiments, the reversing device includes a turntable 5 and a rotation drive mechanism 6, the turntable 5 includes a first contact 51, a second contact 52 and a third contact 53, the first contact 51 is used to be electrically connected to the electromagnet 4, the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 are both used to be electrically connected to the power supply, and the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 are respectively electrically connected to the first contact 51, and the current direction between the second contact 52 and the first contact 51 is opposite to the current direction between the third contact 53 and the first contact 51; the rotation drive mechanism 6 is connected to the turntable 5, and is used to drive the turntable 5 to rotate, so that during the rotation of the turntable 5, the first contact 51 is periodically connected to the electromagnet 4, and the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 are alternately and periodically connected to the power supply, and when the first contact 51 is in contact with the electromagnet 4, one of the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 is connected to the power supply.

[0051] That is to say, in this embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism 6 rotates to drive the turntable 5 to rotate. When the turntable 5 rotates, the first contact 51, the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 are driven to rotate, so that the first contact 51 is periodically connected to the electromagnet 4 to achieve periodic conductivity between the first contact 51 and the electromagnet 4, and the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 are alternately and periodically connected to the power supply to periodically reverse the unidirectional current provided by the power supply and conduct it to the first contact 51, thereby achieving a periodic change in the current direction of the electromagnet 4.

[0052] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the rotation drive mechanism 6, as long as it can output rotational motion to drive the turntable 5 to rotate. In some embodiments, the rotation drive mechanism 6 is a motor.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the alternating and periodic connection of the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 with the power supply, in some embodiments, the installation box 1 is provided with a fourth contact 11, and the fourth contact 11 is electrically connected to the power supply; the box body 2 is provided with a fifth contact 21 that is in contact with the fourth contact 11 and a sixth contact 22 that is electrically connected to the fifth contact 21, and the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 are respectively connected to the power supply by contacting the sixth contact 22.

[0054] That is to say, during the rotation of the turntable 5, the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 are alternately and periodically in contact with the sixth contact 22, and the sixth contact 22 is electrically connected to the fifth contact 21, the fifth contact 21 is in contact with the fourth contact 11, and the fourth contact 11 is electrically connected to the power supply. Therefore, in this way, the second contact 52 and the third contact 53 can be alternately and periodically connected to the power supply. This method is simple, convenient and easy to implement.

[0055] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific location of the power supply. The power supply can be the power supply of the maglev train 10 itself, which is located inside the maglev train 10, or it can be an independent power supply module specifically used to provide unidirectional current to the electromagnet 4, and can be carried on the maglev train 10, or it can be located in the box 2 or the installation box 1. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific connection method between the contacts that need to be electrically connected, as long as the electrical connection between the contacts that need to be connected can be achieved. Similarly, the embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit the method of electrically connecting the contacts to the power supply or the electromagnet 4, as long as the corresponding electrical connection can be achieved.

[0056] In addition, in order to facilitate the connection between the electromagnet 4 and the first contact 51, as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the electromagnet 4 includes two first electromagnets 41 and second electromagnets 42 arranged in parallel, the turntable 5 is arranged between the first electromagnet 41 and the second electromagnet 42, the number of the first contacts 51 is two pairs, and the two pairs of first contacts 51 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the turntable 5 about the turntable 5, and the first electromagnet 41 and the second electromagnet 42 are respectively in contact with the side of the turntable 5 through the connecting joint 43, so that the first electromagnet 41 and the second electromagnet 42 are simultaneously connected to the corresponding first contacts 51.

[0057] It can be understood that the first electromagnet 41 and the second electromagnet 42 correspond to the magnets on both sides of the train track respectively. Through the two pairs of first contacts 51 symmetrically arranged on the turntable 5, the two pairs of first contacts 51 can respectively and simultaneously contact the first electromagnet 41 and the second electromagnet 42, so that the first electromagnet 41 and the second electromagnet 42 work at the same time to enhance the magnetic force between the electromagnet 4 and the rail electromagnet 101.

[0058] In addition, in order to reasonably utilize the kinetic energy of the magnetic levitation train 10 when it is decelerated under the action of the electromagnet 4 and save energy, as shown in FIG. Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the box body 2 is provided with a rotatable mounting member 71 and a limiting member 72 for limiting the mounting member 71. A first elastic member 73 is connected between the mounting member 71 and the box body 2. The first elastic member 73 is used to provide an elastic force to the mounting member 71 to press it against the train track after the limiting member 72 releases the limiting member 71. The mounting member 71 is provided with a rotating wheel 74 and a generator 75. The generator 75 is connected to a battery 76 (such as Figure 5 As shown), the battery 76 is arranged in the box body 2, and the battery 76 is connected to the rotation drive mechanism 6.

[0059] It is understood that, under normal circumstances, the position limiting member 72 is used to limit the mounting member 71, so that the mounting member 71 lifts the rotating wheel 74 to separate the rotating wheel 74 from the train track, thereby preventing the rotating wheel 74 from affecting the normal operation of the maglev train 10. When the detection member 3 detects the presence of an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10, the position limiting member 72 can release the position limiting member 71, so that the mounting member 71 rotates under the elastic force of the first elastic member 73, so that the rotating wheel 74 contacts the train track and generates a squeezing force on the train track, thereby rotating the rotating wheel 74. When the rotating wheel 74 rotates, the generator 75 generates electricity and stores the electricity in the battery 76. Then, the electricity from the battery 76 is used to power the rotation drive mechanism 6, so that the rotation drive mechanism 6 drives the turntable 5 to rotate. That is to say, in this embodiment, when the detection component 3 detects that there is an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10, the kinetic energy of the maglev train 10 can be converted into electrical energy to drive the rotation drive mechanism 6, so that the rotation drive mechanism 6 drives the turntable 5 to rotate, which is conducive to saving energy.

[0060] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific connection method between the generator 75 and the battery 76, as long as the two can be electrically connected. In some embodiments, the connection wires of the generator 75 enter the interior of the housing 2 through the hinged portion between the mounting member 71 and the housing 2 and connect to the battery 76 inside the housing 2.

[0061] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the limiting member 72 to release the limit on the mounting member 71 in a timely manner, in some embodiments, the limiting member 72 is a DC electric push rod, and the limiting member 72 is connected to the battery 76. The limiting member 72 is used to limit the position of the mounting member 71 when the detection member 3 does not detect the existence of an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10, and to operate to release the limit on the mounting member 71 when the detection member 3 detects the existence of an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10.

[0062] In other words, this embodiment controls the movement of the position-limiting member 72 in real time based on the detection signal from the detection member 3, so that when the detection member 3 detects an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10, the position-limiting member 72 can promptly release the mounting member 71. Furthermore, the position-limiting member 72 is directly driven by the battery 76, facilitating electrical connection of the position-limiting member 72.

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a protective box 81 is connected to the side of the housing 2 facing away from the installation box 1, and an anti-collision beam 82 is provided on the side of the protective box 81 facing away from the housing 2. In other words, even if the maglev train 10 collides with an obstacle in front of it, the anti-collision beam 82 can absorb the external impact force, reducing the impact on the maglev train 10. In some embodiments, the anti-collision beam 82 is made of carbon fiber composite material. Furthermore, the specific structure of the anti-collision beam 82 is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention, as long as it can absorb external impact forces.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one hollow support push rod 83 is connected between the anti-collision beam 82 and the protection box 81, a hydraulic cylinder 84 is provided in the protection box 81, and fluid medium is provided inside the hydraulic cylinder 84 and the support push rod 83.

[0065] In other words, this embodiment utilizes the support push rod 83 and the hydraulic cylinder 84 to form a first impact-absorbing mechanism. This first impact-absorbing mechanism absorbs the energy generated when the maglev train 10 collides with an obstacle in front of it. It will be appreciated that the support push rod 83 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 84. Pascal's law states that when a collision occurs at the anti-collision beam 82, the fluid medium within the hydraulic cylinder 84 transmits pressure, providing a shock-absorbing effect. This embodiment does not specifically limit the fluid medium; for example, the fluid medium may be hydraulic oil.

[0066] In addition, this embodiment does not limit the specific number of support push rods 83. Taking into account the stability of the structure and the obvious shock absorption effect, in some embodiments, the number of support push rods 83 is at least two, and the cross-sectional area of ​​each support push rod 83 is equal. In this way, when a collision occurs, the pressure transmitted by the fluid medium in the hydraulic cylinder 84 is the same, which can play a better joint shock absorption role.

[0067] In addition, if Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the box body 2 is slidably connected to the installation box 1 , a support rod 91 and a second elastic member 92 are connected between the box body 2 and the installation box 1 , and a breaking groove 911 is provided on the side of the support rod 91 .

[0068] That is, in this embodiment, the support rod 91 and the second elastic member 92 form a second impact-absorbing mechanism for absorbing the energy generated during a collision and providing a buffering effect. Since the support rod 91 is provided with a fracture groove 911 on its side, when a collision occurs, the fracture groove 911 can cause the support rod 91 to break, thereby allowing the second elastic member 92 to provide a buffering effect. Under normal circumstances, the support rod 91 is connected between the housing 2 and the installation box 1, and the support rod 91 can be used to limit the relative movement between the installation box 1 and the housing 2. In some embodiments, the housing 2 is movably inserted into the installation box 1.

[0069] In some embodiments, the second elastic member 92 is a compression spring. Under normal circumstances, the second elastic member 92 is in a stretched state. Thus, when the support rod 91 breaks, the elastic force of the second elastic member 92 drives the box body 2 to slide relative to the installation box 1, thereby providing a good buffering effect.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second elastic member 92 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the support rod 91. This helps to improve the stability of the second elastic member 92 and prevent it from tilting.

[0071] Below Figures 1-12 The structure of the energy-absorbing and anti-collision device for a maglev train is taken as an example to introduce its working principle.

[0072] During the travel of the maglev train 10 equipped with the energy absorption and collision avoidance device for maglev trains, the detection member 3 is used to monitor in real time whether there is an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10; when the detection member 3 detects that there is an obstacle in front of the maglev train 10, the limiting member 72 is actuated to release the limit on the mounting member 71, so that the mounting member 71 drives the rotating wheel 74 to contact the ground under the action of the first elastic member 73, so that the rotating wheel 74 rotates, thereby enabling the generator 75 to generate electricity. The electric energy generated by the generator 75 will be stored in the battery 76, and then the battery 76 will stably output the electric energy to the rotary drive mechanism 6, so that the rotary drive mechanism 6 drives the turntable 5 to rotate periodically, so that the electromagnet 4 always maintains mutual repulsion and adsorption with the rail electromagnet 101 set on the train track, thereby slowly reducing the speed of the maglev train 10, leaving more reaction time for the driver. When a collision occurs, the anti-collision beam 82 will be subjected to force first. At this time, the support rod 91 will break first due to the fracture groove 911 provided therein. Then the box body 2 will slide along the installation box 1. The second elastic member 92 will first absorb the kinetic energy of the collision. When the second elastic member 92 reaches the compression limit, the support push rod 83 will be compressed by force to further absorb the kinetic energy of the collision, thereby further effectively providing time for the driver to brake.

[0073] In addition to the above-mentioned energy-absorbing and anti-collision device for maglev trains, the present invention also provides a maglev train 10 including the energy-absorbing and anti-collision device for maglev trains disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment.
