Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of direct current diesel locomotive direct power supply, and in particular to an excitation controller and a control method suitable for a direct current diesel locomotive direct power supply system. Background Art
[0002] Diesel locomotives still occupy an important position in the railway transportation industry, and with the development of electric locomotives, diesel locomotives still account for a certain proportion. The DF4D diesel locomotive is a DC transmission diesel locomotive with a large stock in China. The locomotive uses a 16V240ZJD diesel engine with a nominal power of 2425kW. Because the locomotive itself does not have the ability to supply power to the following train, the passenger car formation needs to be powered by a diesel engine generator car alone, and a separate train supply driver and crew member needs to operate the generator car. The fuel consumption is large and the noise pollution is extremely large, which seriously affects the riding comfort of passengers in nearby sleeper cars. Since the rated traction power of the DF4D passenger car is about 400kw, and the peak power of the passenger car power supply is about 300KW, the surplus power of the main generator has not been fully utilized.
[0003] In the prior art, the traction system of the original vehicle and the auxiliary equipment of the train adopt the main and auxiliary separation power supply structure as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the power supply method is that the train is equipped with a separate power generation car to supply power to the rear car. The power generation car must be operated by a crew member. This method increases fuel consumption, pollution and noise hazards, and seriously affects the riding comfort of nearby passengers.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes an excitation controller and a control method suitable for a direct current diesel locomotive direct power supply system to overcome the defects of the prior art. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art.

[0010] Furthermore, there are 8 relays in total, among which the first relay, the second relay, the third relay, the fourth relay, the fifth relay and the seventh relay are connected and controlled by the DO board, and the sixth relay and the eighth relay are connected and controlled by the control room; the first relay controls the main contactor of the motor on and off in parallel, the second relay controls the main contactor of the motor on and off in series, the third relay controls the braking resistor contactor in parallel, the fourth relay controls the excitation contactor, the fifth relay controls the magnetic cutting contactor, the sixth relay controls the braking resistor extension contactor in series, the seventh relay controls the braking resistor contactor in series, and the eighth relay controls the new excitation input contactor.
[0011] Furthermore, the excitation control chassis is composed of an excitation board, a digital input board and a digital output board, wherein the excitation board can simultaneously sample 8 analog signals, 2 locomotive speed signals and 2 diesel engine speed signals through an AD conversion module, and is also equipped with 2 PWM generation channels. The digital input board is used to collect 26 digital signals on the locomotive, and the digital output board is used to control the on and off of the first relay, the second relay, the third relay, the fourth relay, the fifth relay and the seventh relay.
[0012] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a control method suitable for a direct power supply system of a DC diesel locomotive, based on an excitation controller suitable for a direct power supply system of a DC diesel locomotive, including: a control method for realizing traction conditions of the locomotive through an excitation controller, a control method for realizing power supply conditions of the locomotive, and a control method for realizing traction + power supply conditions of the locomotive.
[0013] The method for controlling the locomotive to realize traction working condition by means of the excitation controller specifically comprises the following steps:
[0014] First, start the locomotive diesel engine and switch the excitation transfer switch to the new excitation position. When the excitation controller receives the locomotive traction signal fed back by the eighth relay, the excitation controller receives the machine control signal and selects the power supply transfer switch to the traction mode, the locomotive enters the traction mode after the excitation controller receives the locomotive traction command.
[0015] Then, turn the driver's direction handle to the traction position, and control the locomotive to enter the traction condition through the excitation controller. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 0 to position 1, the locomotive is in constant power traction control. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 1 to the lifting and holding position, traction control under different powers is performed by switching different speed gears. When the driver's traction handle changes from the lifting and holding position to position 1, the diesel engine runs at an idle speed of 450rpm and performs corresponding traction control. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 1 to position 0, the excitation controller seals the PWM wave and removes the excitation, waiting for the handle to return to position 1 to restore the locomotive traction condition or release the traction condition.
[0016] Secondly, turn the driver's direction handle to the braking position, and control the locomotive to enter the braking condition through the excitation controller. At this time, the electric brake wind loss signal is 0, otherwise the excitation is disconnected. When the driver pulls the handle from position 0 to position 1, the locomotive enters the electric braking mode. When the driver pulls the handle from position 1 to position 0, the excitation controller controls the excitation to be cut off, waiting for the driver's handle to return to position 1 to restore the electric braking condition or release the braking condition.
[0017] Furthermore, the control method for realizing the power supply condition of the locomotive through the excitation controller specifically includes the following steps:
[0018] First, start the locomotive diesel engine and switch the excitation transfer switch to the new excitation position. When the excitation controller receives the locomotive power supply signal fed back by the eighth relay and selects the power supply transfer switch to the power supply position, the excitation controller delays 30ms after receiving the locomotive power supply command.
[0019] Then, the excitation controller controls the fourth relay to close the excitation contactor, controls the first relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor, controls the second relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor, controls the third relay to disconnect the brake resistor contactor, and controls the seventh relay to disconnect the brake resistor contactor. After 100ms, the locomotive starts to execute the idle power supply mode.
[0020] When the driver pulls the handle to position 0, the idle power supply mode is executed. At this time, the power supply conversion switch is switched to the non-power supply position, and the excitation controller cuts off the excitation.
[0021] Furthermore, the control method for realizing the traction + power supply condition of the locomotive through the excitation controller specifically includes the following steps:
[0022] First, start the locomotive diesel engine and switch the excitation transfer switch to the new excitation position. When the excitation controller receives the locomotive traction + power supply signal fed back by the eighth relay and the power supply transfer switch is selected to the traction + power supply position, the excitation controller controls the fourth relay to close the excitation contactor, controls the first relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor, controls the second relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor, controls the third relay to disconnect the brake resistor contactor, controls the seventh relay to disconnect the brake resistor contactor, confirms that the driver's traction position handle is at 0, and executes the idle power supply mode;
[0023] Then, turn the driver's direction handle to the traction position, and control the locomotive to enter the traction + power supply condition through the excitation controller. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 0 to position 1, the excitation controller stops excitation. After 30ms, the first relay is controlled to close the motor on-off main contactor in parallel, and the second relay is controlled to close the motor on-off main contactor in series. After 100ms, the locomotive is controlled to have constant power traction. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 1 to the lifting and holding position, traction + power supply control under different powers is performed by switching different speed gears. When the driver's traction handle changes from the lifting and holding position to position 1, the diesel engine runs at an idle speed of 450rpm and performs the corresponding traction + power supply control. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 1 to position 0, the excitation controller interrupts excitation, and after an interval of 30ms, controls the first relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor in parallel; controls the second relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor in series, and after another interval of 100ms, restores excitation, executes the idle power supply mode, and waits for the driver's traction handle to return to position 1 or release the traction condition.
[0024] Secondly, turn the driver's control handle to the braking position, and control the locomotive to enter the braking + power supply condition through the excitation controller. At this time, the electric brake wind loss signal is 0, otherwise the excitation is disconnected. When the driver pulls the handle from position 0 to position 1, the locomotive enters the electric braking mode, and the excitation controller stops excitation. After 30ms, the third relay is controlled to close the braking resistor contactor in parallel, and the seventh relay is controlled to close the braking resistor contactor in series. After 100ms, the diesel engine is controlled to run at 450rpm and the corresponding braking + power supply control is executed. When the driver pulls the handle from position 1 to the lifting and lowering position, the diesel engine speed is large. It runs at 450rpm and executes braking + power supply control under different power by switching different speed gears. When the driver pulls the handle from the lifting position to the 1st position, the diesel engine runs at an idle speed of 450rpm and executes the corresponding braking + power supply control. When the driver pulls the handle from the 1st position to the 0th position, the excitation controller controls the interruption of excitation. After an interval of 30ms, the third relay is controlled to disconnect the brake resistor contactor in parallel, and the seventh relay is controlled to disconnect the brake resistor contactor in series. After an interval of 100ms, the excitation is restored and the idle power supply mode is executed, waiting for the driver to pull the handle back to the 1st position or release the braking condition.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the excitation controller can realize the switching of three working modes: traction, power supply, and traction + power supply. The working flow diagram is as follows: Figure 2 shown.
[0043] The specific implementation steps of the method for controlling the locomotive to achieve traction conditions through the excitation controller are as follows:
[0044] First, start the locomotive diesel engine and switch the excitation transfer switch 3LK (4LK) to the new excitation position. Preparation conditions include: (1) When the excitation controller LTQ-Z receives the locomotive traction signal fed back by K8, it enters the enabled state; (2) The excitation controller receives the machine control signal; (3) The power supply transfer switch 1LK (2LK) is selected to the traction mode. At this time, after the excitation controller receives the locomotive traction command, the locomotive enters the traction mode.
[0045] Select to enter the traction condition: turn the driver controller's direction handle to the traction position, and control the locomotive to enter the traction condition through the excitation controller.
[0046] When the driver pulls the handle from position 0 to position 1, the locomotive starts running and is in constant power traction control;

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the excitation controller provided by the present invention divides the excitation system into EXC, DI, and DO modules according to different functions. The excitation board (EXC) includes an AD conversion module, which can simultaneously sample 8 analog signals, 2 locomotive speed signals, and 2 diesel engine speed signals, and is also equipped with 2 PWM generation channels to drive voltage regulators. The digital input board collects 26 digital quantities from the locomotive as logic input signals. The digital output board controls the on and off of 6 relays (K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, K7) to switch between the old and new excitation systems. This design can improve the maintainability and scalability of the product. Each functional module can be independently designed, developed, and tested, which is convenient for product upgrades and improvements.
[0070] The excitation controller of the present invention retains the design of the original vehicle excitation system that can only perform traction conditions. By developing a new excitation controller to replace the original vehicle excitation controller, multiple logical transformations such as traction, power supply, and traction + power supply are realized. The logical principle transformation is described in the specific embodiment.
[0071] The present invention isolates the original vehicle excitation system through the design of the interface through the universal switch and the relay. For example, the universal switch 3LK / 4LK controls the conversion between the new and old excitations, and 1LK / 2LK controls the working condition conversion. The newly developed excitation system and the original vehicle excitation can be switched with each other, thereby increasing the redundancy of the locomotive control performance. The sensor signal is connected to the excitation control chassis through the aviation plug, and a spare signal port is reserved for easy maintenance.
[0072] The present invention also concentrates the circuit breaker, terminal block, excitation control box, power module, and voltage regulator on a base with good insulation and corrosion resistance, reducing the overall volume and saving space, ensuring stable operation of the system during locomotive operation.

8. The control method for a direct current diesel locomotive direct power supply system according to claim 7, characterized in that: The method for controlling the locomotive to realize traction working condition by means of the excitation controller specifically comprises the following steps: First, start the locomotive diesel engine and switch the excitation transfer switch (LK3 / LK4) to the new excitation position. When the excitation controller receives the locomotive traction signal fed back by the eighth relay, the excitation controller receives the machine control signal and selects the power supply transfer switch (LK1 / LK2) to the traction mode, the locomotive enters the traction mode after the excitation controller receives the locomotive traction command. Then, turn the driver's direction handle to the traction position, and control the locomotive to enter the traction condition through the excitation controller. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 0 to position 1, the locomotive is in constant power traction control. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 1 to the lifting and holding position, traction control under different powers is performed by switching different speed gears. When the driver's traction handle changes from the lifting and holding position to position 1, the diesel engine runs at an idle speed of 450rpm and performs corresponding traction control. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 1 to position 0, the excitation controller seals the PWM wave and removes the excitation, waiting for the handle to return to position 1 to restore the locomotive traction condition or release the traction condition. Secondly, turn the driver's direction handle to the braking position, and control the locomotive to enter the braking condition through the excitation controller. At this time, the electric brake wind loss signal is 0, otherwise the excitation is disconnected. When the driver pulls the handle from position 0 to position 1, the locomotive enters the electric braking mode. When the driver pulls the handle from position 1 to position 0, the excitation controller controls the excitation to be cut off, waiting for the driver's handle to return to position 1 to restore the electric braking condition or release the braking condition.
9. The control method for a direct current diesel locomotive direct power supply system according to claim 7, characterized in that: The method for controlling the power supply condition of the locomotive through the excitation controller specifically includes the following steps: First, start the locomotive diesel engine and switch the excitation transfer switch (LK3 / LK4) to the new excitation position. When the excitation controller receives the locomotive power supply signal fed back by the eighth relay and selects the power supply transfer switch (LK1 / LK2) to the power supply position, the excitation controller receives the locomotive power supply command and delays for 30ms. Then, the excitation controller controls the fourth relay to close the excitation contactor, controls the first relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor, controls the second relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor, controls the third relay to disconnect the brake resistor contactor, and controls the seventh relay to disconnect the brake resistor contactor. After 100ms, the locomotive starts to execute the idle power supply mode. When the driver pulls the handle to position 0, the idle power supply mode is executed. At this time, the power supply conversion switch is switched to the non-power supply position, and the excitation controller cuts off the excitation.
10. The control method for a direct current diesel locomotive direct power supply system according to claim 7, characterized in that: The control method for realizing traction + power supply condition of locomotive by excitation controller specifically includes the following steps: First, start the locomotive diesel engine and switch the excitation transfer switch (LK3 / LK4) to the new excitation position. When the excitation controller receives the locomotive traction + power supply signal fed back by the eighth relay and the power supply transfer switch (LK1 / LK2) is selected to the traction + power supply position, the excitation controller controls the fourth relay to close the excitation contactor, controls the first relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor, controls the second relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor, controls the third relay to disconnect the brake resistor contactor, controls the seventh relay to disconnect the brake resistor contactor, confirms that the driver's traction position handle is at 0, and executes the idle power supply mode; Then, turn the driver's direction handle to the traction position, and control the locomotive to enter the traction + power supply condition through the excitation controller. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 0 to position 1, the excitation controller stops excitation. After 30ms, the first relay is controlled to close the motor on-off main contactor in parallel, and the second relay is controlled to close the motor on-off main contactor in series. After 100ms, the locomotive is controlled to have constant power traction. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 1 to the lifting and holding position, traction + power supply control under different powers is performed by switching different speed gears. When the driver's traction handle changes from the lifting and holding position to position 1, the diesel engine runs at an idle speed of 450rpm and performs the corresponding traction + power supply control. When the driver's traction handle changes from position 1 to position 0, the excitation controller interrupts excitation, and after an interval of 30ms, controls the first relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor in parallel; controls the second relay to disconnect the motor on-off main contactor in series, and after another interval of 100ms, restores excitation, executes the idle power supply mode, and waits for the driver's traction handle to return to position 1 or release the traction condition. Secondly, turn the driver's control handle to the braking position, and control the locomotive to enter the braking + power supply condition through the excitation controller. At this time, the electric brake wind loss signal is 0, otherwise the excitation is disconnected. When the driver pulls the handle from position 0 to position 1, the locomotive enters the electric braking mode, and the excitation controller stops excitation. After 30ms, the third relay is controlled to close the braking resistor contactor in parallel, and the seventh relay is controlled to close the braking resistor contactor in series. After 100ms, the diesel engine is controlled to run at 450rpm and the corresponding braking + power supply control is executed. When the driver pulls the handle from position 1 to the lifting and lowering position, the diesel engine speed is large. It runs at 450rpm and executes braking + power supply control under different power by switching different speed gears. When the driver pulls the handle from the lifting position to the 1st position, the diesel engine runs at an idle speed of 450rpm and executes the corresponding braking + power supply control. When the driver pulls the handle from the 1st position to the 0th position, the excitation controller controls the interruption of excitation. After an interval of 30ms, the third relay is controlled to disconnect the brake resistor contactor in parallel, and the seventh relay is controlled to disconnect the brake resistor contactor in series. After an interval of 100ms, the excitation is restored and the idle power supply mode is executed, waiting for the driver to pull the handle back to the 1st position or release the braking condition.
