Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of train electric whistles, and in particular to a test method for detecting sound pressure level requirements of electric whistles for rail transit vehicles. Background Art
[0002] Electric whistle refers to an electrically driven audio device used for communication and alarm of locomotives, rail cars and EMUs. The sound of the electric whistle is concentrated forward and has almost no effect on the two sides. This can minimize the noise interference of train whistles in the urban area. The train whistle is similar to that of a car, and can serve as a reminder and warning. The essence is to prevent traffic accidents. At the same time, in the management of train operation, the train driver must always communicate with the station attendant and other relevant driving personnel to ensure the safety of train driving. The whistle must be sounded when the train starts, enters the station, leaves the station, bends, bridges, tunnels, curves, bad weather and other times that may endanger personal safety. There is generally a whistle sign in front of the crossing, bridge, tunnel and places with poor visibility. When the train driver sees this sign, he must blow the whistle for a long time to strengthen the warning.
[0003] After the electric whistle is manufactured, it is necessary to conduct a sound pressure test on it to ensure the normal use of the electric whistle during the operation of the rail transit vehicle. The existing sound pressure effects of the electric whistle in various environments affect the safety of the use of the electric whistle. Summary of the invention
