Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lubricating compositions, and in particular relates to a solid lubricant for railway wheel-rail lubrication, especially for lubrication of curved rails and vehicle wheel rims, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] When a railway vehicle passes through a curved rail, the wheel flange rubs against the rail side. Without effective lubrication, the wheel flange will be severely worn, which will increase the amount of wheel turning and repair, and ultimately shorten the service life of the wheel. At the same time, the rail will also suffer from side wear, corrugation and other damage. This has become the main type of damage to the curved rail, seriously affecting the service life of the curved rail. Covering the vehicle wheel flange with a layer of lubricant in an appropriate manner is an effective way to reduce the wear of the curved rail and vehicle wheel flange.

[0003] The lubricants commonly used for railway vehicle wheel flanges are semi-solid and solid. Semi-solid lubricants are easy to splash onto the rail tread, causing wheel slippage and affecting train braking and other safety hazards; and semi-solid lubricants are not easy to remain on the rails and wheel flanges, the lubricant consumption is large, and the railway line is polluted.

[0004] Therefore, solid lubricants are increasingly gaining attention. In the prior art, there have been a variety of solid lubricants used for rail vehicle wheel-rail lubrication, such as the solid lubricants disclosed in Chinese invention patents (applications) with publication numbers CN1078608C, CN104401355A, CN105695064A, CN111607448A, CN114410365A, CN115851338A and CN109552354A. These solid lubricants are generally based on solid materials and are formed by pressure. However, the inventors have found through research that although these solid lubricants have a relatively high hardness, they have poor adhesion on the wheel rim of the vehicle and poor ductility on the side of the rail, resulting in poor lubrication effect.

[0005] Therefore, in order to better ensure the safe operation of trains and reduce the loss of curved rails and train wheels and rails, it is still necessary to develop a solid lubricant that has moderate hardness, can adapt to high and low temperature environments of -50℃ to 80℃, has good adhesion and ductility, and excellent wear resistance for railway wheel and rail lubrication, especially for the lubrication of curved rails and vehicle wheel rims. Summary of the invention

[0108] 3) Put it together with the mold into a 0-4℃ refrigerator and cool it for 12-18 hours;

[0109] 4) Place the mold in normal temperature tap water and cool for 12 to 18 hours.

[0110] The operation of 2), 3) or 4) is preferred, and the operation of 2) or 3) is more preferred.

[0113] Also preferably, the above solid lubricant is used as a lubricating block in a wayside wheel-rail solid lubrication device.

[0114] Preferably, the structure of the wayside wheel-rail solid lubrication device is described in Chinese utility model patent 202420617669.4.

[0115] The present application directly solidifies a composite fluid grease of a certain consistency into a solid lubricant. The obtained solid lubricant has the characteristics of both fluid grease and solid lubricant, and has good adhesion, ductility and lubricity, and has appropriate hardness so that it does not splash or pollute.

The solid lubricant of the present application is directly solidified and formed by composite fluid grease, but the solid lubricant of the present application has a certain hardness in a wide temperature range (-50℃~80℃), and the hardness changes little with temperature. It is particularly suitable as a lubricating block for the roadside wheel-rail solid lubrication device published in utility model patent 202420617669.4, which can not only provide accurate and good lubrication for the vehicle wheel rim and the curved section rail side, but also meet the safety requirements of high-speed railways.
