Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bogies, and in particular to a multi-functional steering control system for a radial bogie. Background Art

[0002] Traditional bogies play an important role in rail transit vehicles. However, with the increase in vehicle operating speed and the complexity of line conditions, their limitations have gradually emerged. In order to maintain the stability of fast operation, traditional bogies usually need to increase the horizontal connection stiffness between the wheelset and the side frame, but this will limit the improvement of their curve passing performance. Specifically, when a traditional bogie passes through a curve, the attack angle and lateral force between the wheelset and the rail are relatively large, resulting in increased wheel-rail wear, which not only affects the operation efficiency of the vehicle but also increases the maintenance cost.

[0003] To solve the limitations of traditional bogies, radial bogies have emerged. Through the action of the radial mechanism, a radial bogie can reasonably distribute the wheel-rail lateral force without reducing the longitudinal positioning stiffness of the axle box, effectively reducing wheel-rail wear. However, the effect of reducing wear is not obvious, and manual inspection and adjustment are still required frequently. Moreover, the wear and failure rate under complex line conditions may be relatively high, increasing the maintenance cost. Based on this, the present invention designs a multi-functional steering control system for a radial bogie to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0049] In Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, and Embodiment 3, multifunctional steering can be achieved under the control of a control system. The first telescopic cylinder and the second telescopic cylinder are servo electric cylinders or servo hydraulic cylinders. When the first telescopic cylinder is a servo electric cylinder, the second telescopic cylinder is also a servo electric cylinder. When the first electric cylinder is a servo hydraulic cylinder, the second telescopic cylinder is also a servo hydraulic cylinder.

[0050] The working principle is as Figure 9 and Figure 10 During operation, the control system will select different steering modes according to the status of the sensors:

[0051] When all sensors are working properly, the radial bogie is in the active radial steering process at this time. At this time, the multi-sensor information fusion system receives the information provided by the sensor system, combines the information from the wheel set control subsystem of the radial bogie, the force measuring sensor, and the bolster rotation angle sensor to obtain the current route status, and then obtains the current pose through the wheel set radial motion pose calculation system. The current pose is transmitted to the actuator joint command coordination control system, and control information is sent to the two electro-hydraulic servo control systems respectively through the multi-channel control command coordination management system.

[0052] After receiving the digital signals sent by the multi-channel control command coordination management system, the two electro-hydraulic servo control systems process the signals through digital deviation, digital-to-analog conversion, and servo amplifiers, and then input them into the second telescopic cylinder assembly and the first telescopic cylinder assembly respectively.

[0053] Taking the front wheel set as an example for steering when the bogie uses a servo hydraulic cylinder, the front wheel set is connected to the second telescopic cylinder assembly. When the vehicle is running on a straight road, the electro-hydraulic servo valve in the second telescopic cylinder assembly works in the middle position. The electro-hydraulic servo valve is connected to the hydraulic station, and the left and right oil cavities of the second telescopic cylinder are not connected, and the second telescopic cylinder does not make a displacement. When turning left, the electro-hydraulic servo valve works in the right position, and the oil enters from the right side of the second telescopic cylinder, pushing the piston of the second telescopic cylinder to move to the left. The piston retracts and drives the guide bearing seat assembly to move. At this time, the rear wheel set swings counterclockwise around the center pin bearing seat assembly to complete the steering. When turning right, the electro-hydraulic servo valve works in the left position, and the oil enters from the left side of the second telescopic cylinder, pushing the piston of the second telescopic cylinder to move to the right. The piston extends and pushes the guide bearing seat assembly to move to the right. At this time, the rear wheel set swings clockwise around the center pin bearing seat assembly to complete the steering.

[0054] If a servo electric cylinder is used in the bogie, taking the rear wheel pair as an example for steering, the rear wheel pair is connected to the first telescopic cylinder assembly. When the vehicle is running on a straight road, the servo motor in the first telescopic cylinder assembly remains stationary, the piston of the first telescopic cylinder remains stationary, and the first telescopic cylinder does not move; when turning left, the servo motor pushes the piston of the first telescopic cylinder to move left, and the piston extends to push the guide bearing seat assembly to move. At this time, the rear wheel pair swings clockwise around the center pin bearing seat assembly to complete the steering; when turning right, the servo motor controls the piston of the first telescopic cylinder to contract back into the cylinder body to the right, and the piston drives the guide bearing seat assembly to move to the right. At this time, the rear wheel pair swings counterclockwise around the guide bearing seat assembly to complete the steering.

[0055] When sensors other than the bolster angle sensor fail, the radial bogie is in the process of assisted radial steering; at this time, the control system receives the information of the normally operating sensors, and after information fusion analysis and processing decisions, it sends control signals to the two electro-hydraulic servo control systems respectively, and the steering process is the same as that of the active radial steering.

[0056] When all sensors fail or the servo actuator fails, the radial bogie is in the process of passive forced radial steering. At this time, the multi-channel control instruction communication management system sends control instructions to the zero-position restoration units of the two radial control system fault servo actuators to connect the left and right chambers of the servo actuator. At this time, the servo actuator is in a floating state and no longer applies force to the wheel pair. The locking mechanism is opened, and the electromagnet in the electromagnetic coil assembly is energized to pull the wedge unlocking arm cam to rotate. The cam pushes the wedge unlocking separation fork row to move, so that the wedge rotates in the direction of decreasing contact diameter, relieves the positive pressure of the wedge on the tail hinge slide rail, and thus relieves the locking force on the slide rail, and the bogie enters the passive forced steering state.

[0057] Taking the rear wheel as an example, when a failure occurs during straight running, it is only necessary to make the servo actuator in a floating state, no longer apply force to the wheel pair, relieve the positive pressure of the wedge on the tail hinge slide rail, and the bogie enters the passive forced steering state; when a failure occurs during steering, at this time, in addition to making the first telescopic cylinder assembly enter the floating state, it is also necessary to drive the reset lever back to its original position through the expansion and contraction of the reset spring and the reset oil cylinder, so that the guide bearing seat assembly returns to its original position. At this time, the guide bearing seat assembly stops at the center original position under the action of the reset lever and the reset slider, and the bogie returns to straight running and enters the passive forced steering state.

[0058] Therefore, the present invention adopts a radial bogie with an active control wheel pair swinging around the center with the above structure. In order to enable the train to realize the radial steering function, the kinematic principle of the multi-link mechanism is adopted, which can make the steering of the rail train have better stability and safety.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions of the present invention or make equivalent replacements, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
