Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traction devices, and in particular to a topological structure of independent axle control, and in particular to a topological structure of independent axle control for a main drive circuit of an electric locomotive. Background Art

[0002] my country has a large number of electric locomotives, and the number of locomotives in use is dense. In the operation of electric locomotives, there are high requirements for the reliability of locomotive operation, and the topological structure of the main drive circuit of electric locomotives is also constantly upgraded. At the same time, with the development of modern rail transit equipment towards multi-source, there is a wide demand for the installation of power batteries in electric locomotives.

[0003] At present, there are two mainstream main transmission systems for electric locomotives, namely the shared intermediate DC link and the auxiliary independent winding. For the traction topology with the addition of power batteries, there is a topology based on the shared intermediate DC link. However, the locomotives currently used by the national railways are mass-produced models, and the scenario for adding power batteries is not clear. Leaving a battery installation interface for electric locomotives to facilitate modification is a method that can reach a consensus. The first two main transmission methods will have a certain degree of risk of the entire frame being removed in daily use.

[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, the current main transmission system shares the intermediate DC link, and the auxiliary transmission system is directly connected to the intermediate DC link. The intermediate voltage is DC1800V. Under normal operation, the three traction motors are rectified separately and then output to the intermediate DC link, and then output to the traction motor through inverter to supply power to the traction motor. If a power battery needs to be installed, the added power battery can also be connected to the intermediate DC link, and the power battery can supply power to the auxiliary and motor.

[0005] In the shared intermediate DC link mode, if a ground fault occurs in the intermediate DC link, the entire intermediate DC link will not work, resulting in simultaneous failure of the three traction motors and a reduction of 1 / 2 in the power of the entire vehicle.

[0006] In view of this, it is of great significance to develop a topological structure with fully independent axle control based on the addition of power batteries. Summary of the invention

[0007] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a topological structure of independent axle control so that independent axle control of the whole vehicle can be guaranteed when no power battery is installed. Whether in complex road conditions or in a changeable operating environment, the locomotive can achieve precise control and coordination through independent axle control. When a single axle fails, only the power of the single axle is lost, so that the locomotive can maximize the use of power to continue to operate, thereby avoiding the paralysis of the entire system caused by a single axle failure. It also enables the locomotive to maximize the use of remaining power to continue operating, and also helps to reduce the maintenance cost and operating risk of the locomotive, and improve the overall performance of the locomotive.

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, a topological structure of independent shaft control is proposed, including a main transmission system and an auxiliary system, wherein, when there is no power battery, the main transmission system adopts an independent shaft control mode, and the transformer of the auxiliary system is provided with an independent auxiliary winding.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the voltage of the independent auxiliary winding is a first value, and the auxiliary system includes a DC / AC inverter and an isolation transformer. After the independent auxiliary winding is inverted by the DC / AC inverter, the voltage is transformed by the isolation transformer to change the voltage to a second value.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first value is: DC1600V~DC2000V, and the second value is: AC360V~AC400V.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when a power battery is installed, the power battery is connected to the motor side of the main transmission system and the auxiliary system.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, electrical isolation is included between the main transmission system and the auxiliary system.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the topology structure further includes a redundant control system, which is communicatively connected with the main transmission system.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a redundant control system includes a primary controller and a backup controller.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a speed sensor and / or a position sensor is also provided on the main transmission system.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary system further includes a heat sink connected to the independent auxiliary winding.

[0017] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary system includes at least one auxiliary load, and the auxiliary system dynamically adjusts the output voltage and current according to actual load conditions.

[0018] In a topological structure of independent axle control according to an embodiment of the present invention, independent axle control of the entire vehicle can be guaranteed even when no power battery is installed. The locomotive can achieve precise control and coordination through independent axle control regardless of complex road conditions or changing operating environments. When a single axle fails, only the power of the single axle is lost, so that the locomotive can maximize the use of power to continue operation, thereby avoiding paralysis of the entire system due to a single axle failure. The locomotive can also maximize the use of remaining power to continue operation, which helps to reduce the maintenance cost and operating risk of the locomotive and improve the overall performance of the locomotive.

It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries, for example, should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or extremely formal sense, unless explicitly defined herein.

[0027] Technologies, methods, and apparatus known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, these technologies, methods, and apparatus should be considered part of the specification.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a topological structure of independent shaft control, including a main transmission system 1 and an auxiliary system 2, wherein, when there is no power battery 5, the main transmission system 1 adopts an independent shaft control method, and the transformer of the auxiliary system 2 is provided with an independent auxiliary winding 3.

[0029] In the topological structure of the independent axle control according to the embodiment of the present invention, independent axle control of the whole vehicle can be guaranteed when the power battery 5 is not installed. Whether in complex road conditions or in a changeable operating environment, the locomotive can achieve precise control and coordination through independent axle control. When a single axle fails, only the power of the single axle is lost, so that the locomotive can maximize the use of power to continue to operate, thereby avoiding paralysis of the entire system due to a single axle failure, and allowing the locomotive to maximize the use of remaining power to continue operating, which also helps to reduce the maintenance cost and operating risk of the locomotive and improve the overall performance of the locomotive.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, the voltage of the independent auxiliary winding 3 is a first value, and the auxiliary system 2 includes a DC / AC inverter (not shown in the figure) and an isolation transformer 4. After the independent auxiliary winding 3 is inverted by the DC / AC inverter, the voltage is transformed to a second value by the isolation transformer 4. Through a reasonable auxiliary winding design, the output voltage can be stabilized, the voltage fluctuation can be reduced, and the stability of the power supply can be improved.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, the first value is: DC1600V~DC2000V, and the second value is: AC360V~AC400V. Through the combination of the DC / AC inverter and the isolation transformer 4, the DC voltage of the auxiliary winding can be easily converted into an AC voltage and adjusted to the required voltage level. This conversion capability improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system, enabling it to meet the voltage requirements of different devices and loads. Through precise inversion and voltage transformation control, the stability and accuracy of the output voltage can be ensured. This helps to reduce voltage fluctuations and interference and improve the overall performance and stability of the system. In one embodiment, the first value is DC1800V and the second value is AC380V. AC380V voltage is a standard voltage level in many industrial equipment and commercial applications. Therefore, this conversion process enables the auxiliary system 2 to be widely used in various occasions to provide stable and reliable power supply for different loads.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiments, when the power battery 5 is installed, the power battery 5 is connected to the motor side of the main transmission system 1 and the auxiliary system 2 to ensure that the power battery 5 can normally supply power to the motor and the auxiliary system 2. The motor is a key component in the electric transmission system, responsible for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. Connecting the power battery 5 to the motor side can directly provide electrical energy to the motor to ensure that the motor can work efficiently and stably. Connecting the power battery 5 to the motor side can make full use of its power output characteristics and improve the overall performance of the system.

[0033] The power battery 5 can store and recycle braking energy to improve energy utilization. When the vehicle is decelerating or braking, the power battery 5 can absorb the energy generated by the motor reverse rotation and convert it into electrical energy for storage for subsequent driving.

[0034] As a backup power source, the power battery 5 can provide power support when a failure occurs in the main transmission system 1 or the auxiliary system 2, ensuring that the vehicle can continue to travel.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, electrical isolation is included between the main transmission system 1 and the auxiliary system 2. Electrical isolation can effectively separate the main transmission system 1 and the auxiliary system 2 to prevent electrical faults from propagating between the two systems. When a fault occurs in either the main transmission system 1 or the auxiliary system 2, electrical isolation can ensure that the fault does not affect the normal operation of the other system. This greatly reduces the risk of overall failure of the system due to electrical faults and improves the safety and reliability of the system. Specifically, electrical isolation can be achieved by an isolation transformer 4, an optoelectronic isolator, a capacitor, a magnetic material, or an isolation amplifier.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiment, the topology structure further includes a redundant control system (not shown in the figure), which is in communication connection with the main transmission system 1. The redundant control system ensures that the system can continue to operate when the main component fails by adding a backup component. This design prevents the system from crashing when facing a single point failure, thereby greatly improving the reliability of the system. The backup components include a backup power supply, a backup network interface, and a backup controller.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, the redundant control system includes a primary controller and a backup controller.

[0038] On the basis of the above embodiments, a speed sensor and / or a position sensor is further provided on the main transmission system 1. The speed sensor can monitor the rotation speed of the main transmission system 1 in real time, and can quickly issue an alarm when the system is overspeeding, underspeeding or abnormally fluctuating, thereby avoiding potential mechanical failures or safety accidents. The position sensor can accurately measure the position of key components in the main transmission system 1, such as the crankshaft, camshaft, etc., thereby ensuring accurate operation and reliable control of the system.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the auxiliary system 2 further includes a heat sink connected to the independent auxiliary winding 3. After the independent auxiliary winding 3 is connected to the heat sink, it can serve as an independent heat dissipation channel to quickly conduct the heat generated in the winding to the heat sink, and dissipate the heat into the air through the heat dissipation surface of the heat sink. This design effectively increases the heat dissipation area and improves the heat dissipation efficiency, thereby ensuring the temperature stability of the winding during operation and extending the service life of the winding.

[0040] Based on the above embodiment, the auxiliary system 2 includes at least one auxiliary load 6, and the auxiliary system 2 dynamically adjusts the output voltage and current according to the actual load conditions. Dynamic adjustment of the output voltage and current can ensure that the auxiliary system 2 always operates in the best working state. When the load is light, the system can reduce the output voltage and current to reduce unnecessary energy waste; when the load is heavy, the system can increase the output voltage and current to meet the load requirements. This flexible adjustment method significantly improves energy utilization efficiency and helps reduce operating costs.

[0041] By dynamically adjusting the output voltage and current, the auxiliary system 2 is better able to cope with the challenges brought by load changes. When the load suddenly increases or decreases, the system can respond quickly and adjust the output voltage and current to maintain stable operation of the system. This stability is critical to ensure the normal operation and long service life of the equipment.

[0042] The dynamic adjustment function helps optimize the performance of the device. For example, in some application scenarios, the device needs to maintain stable performance output under different load conditions. By dynamically adjusting the output voltage and current, it can ensure that the device can achieve the best performance under different loads, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the device.

[0043] After the implementation of the present invention, at least the following beneficial effects are achieved: (1) The main transmission system 1 adopts an independent axis control method, which can achieve precise control, improve the stability and reliability of the system, help reduce failures and errors caused by the complexity of the transmission system, and improve the operating efficiency of the overall system; (2) The transformer of the auxiliary system 2 is provided with an independent auxiliary winding 3, which can provide a stable power supply for the main transmission system 1. When the main power fails or fluctuates, the independent auxiliary winding 3 can respond quickly and provide backup power for the system to ensure the continuous operation of the system; (3) The independent auxiliary winding 3 can flexibly adjust the output of the power supply according to the actual needs of the main transmission system 1, thereby avoiding energy waste and loss and improving energy utilization efficiency; (4) The design of independent shaft control and independent auxiliary winding 3 makes each part of the system relatively independent, which is convenient for separate maintenance and overhaul, reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance, and improves the maintainability and scalability of the system; (5) In the absence of the power battery 5, the main transmission system 1 adopts an independent shaft control method, which can adapt to different transmission requirements and load changes. At the same time, the independent auxiliary winding 3 can provide a stable power supply for the main transmission system 1 to ensure the normal operation of the system under various working conditions.
