Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of rail vehicle braking technology, and specifically relates to a comprehensive solution for achieving accurate performance detection of brake valves by constructing a multi-dimensional pressure environment simulation system, and is particularly suitable for stability assessment and maintenance monitoring of secondary pressure self-sealing electric control brake valves. Background Art

[0002] The braking system of a railway passenger car is one of the key components to ensure the safe operation of the train. As the core component of the braking system, the performance of the brake valve directly affects the braking effect and safety of the train. Traditional brake valve performance testing methods usually rely on testing in the actual operating environment, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to accurately simulate various working conditions. In addition, existing testing devices are often unable to fully evaluate the performance of the brake valve under different pressure changes.

[0003] The current mainstream detection technology has three major technical defects:

[0004] 1) Incompleteness of environmental simulation: Although CN118907047A realizes pipeline gas volume simulation, it lacks a simulation module for the gas resistance effect of reduced diameter pipelines, resulting in the pressure decay curve deviating from the actual working conditions by more than 15%.

[0005] 2) Multi-channel coupling interference: Traditional methods have cross-influence when testing parallel exhaust ducts, and cannot separate and test the action characteristics of each solenoid valve.

[0006] 3) Attenuation of detection accuracy: According to a 2021 research report of the Wuhan Railway Bureau, after 30 consecutive tests on a conventional testing bench, the pressure fluctuation error exceeded ±3.5kPa.

[0007] Therefore, developing a device and method that can efficiently and accurately simulate train operating conditions and detect brake valve performance is of great significance for improving the reliability and safety of railway passenger car braking systems. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of this, the present invention proposes a performance testing method and device for a passenger car two-stage pressure self-sealing brake valve, aiming to solve the problem in traditional technology that the pressure release rate cannot be adjusted due to the use of a single exhaust channel or no reduction control, and the complex working conditions at the tail end of the train cannot be truly simulated, resulting in limited accuracy of the test results.

[0009] The present invention proposes a performance detection device for a two-stage pressure self-sealing brake valve of a passenger car, comprising:

[0010] A train pipe simulation air cylinder is used to simulate the wind pressure inside the train pipe. A first air pressure sensor is provided in the train pipe simulation air cylinder to detect the real-time pressure in the train pipe simulation air cylinder;

The brake valve includes a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve, the first solenoid valve is used to control the opening and closing of the first exhaust channel, and the second solenoid valve is used to control the opening and closing of the second exhaust channel.

[0014] Furthermore, the volume of the train pipe simulation air cylinder is not less than 30 liters; the volume of the air pressure measuring air cylinder is not less than 10 liters, and the volume ratio of the train pipe simulation air cylinder and the air pressure measuring air cylinder is not less than 3 to 1.

[0015] Furthermore, the diameter of the reduced tube includes at least three different diameters, and the longer the length of the simulated train tube is, the smaller the diameter of the reduced tube is; preferably, the three different diameters of the reduced tube are 1 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm, and the length of the reduced tube is 10 mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the reducing pipe adopts a modular structural design, including a quick connector and a pressure buffer chamber, the buffer chamber has a conical tapered guide structure, and a spiral guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the buffer chamber.

[0017] Furthermore, the second air pressure sensor includes three pressure collection points distributed along the axis of the train pipe simulation air cylinder, each collection point is arranged with a phase difference of 120° and configured as a pressure fluctuation elimination algorithm.

[0018] Furthermore, the measurement accuracy of the first air pressure sensor and the second air pressure sensor is not less than 0.1 kPa.

[0019] Further, the test voltages of the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve each include a first test voltage, a nominal test voltage, and a second test voltage, the voltages of which decrease in sequence.

[0020] Furthermore, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first test voltage, the nominal test voltage and the second test voltage are tested respectively.

[0021] The present invention also provides a method for testing the performance of a secondary pressure self-sealing brake valve of a passenger car using the performance testing device, comprising the following steps:

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a performance detection device for a two-stage pressure self-sealing brake valve of a passenger car comprises a train pipe simulation air cylinder 1, a reducing pipe 2, an air pressure measuring air cylinder 4 and a brake valve 7 which are sequentially connected through a pipeline 3, wherein the volume of the train pipe simulation air cylinder 1 is generally 30 liters, and the wind pressure is generally 600 kPa, so as to simulate the wind inside the train pipe, and a first air pressure sensor 5 is arranged in the train pipe simulation air cylinder 1, and the first air pressure sensor 5 detects the real-time pressure in the train pipe simulation air cylinder 1; the reducing pipe 2 slowly releases the wind in the train pipe simulation air cylinder 1, and the diameter of the reducing pipe 2 includes at least three different diameters, and the longer the length of the simulated train pipe is, the smaller the diameter of the reducing pipe 2 is; preferably, the three different diameters of the reducing pipe 2 are 1 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm, and the length of the reducing pipe 2 is 10 mm, so as to avoid unit The wind pressure released within the time is too large, resulting in a poor simulation effect; the volume of the air pressure measuring cylinder 4 is generally 10 liters, the volume ratio of the train pipe simulation cylinder 1 and the air pressure measuring cylinder 4 is not less than 3 to 1, and a second air pressure sensor 6 is arranged in the air pressure measuring cylinder 4. The second air pressure sensor 6 detects the wind pressure in the air pressure measuring cylinder 4 to simulate the wind pressure detection at the tail of the train pipe, and draws different pressure change curves according to the measurement value of the second air pressure sensor 6; the air inlet channel 8 of the brake valve 7 is connected with the overall pipeline 3, and the first exhaust channel 9 and the second exhaust channel 10 of the brake valve 7 are respectively connected with the atmosphere, and the brake valve 7 has a first solenoid valve 11 and a second solenoid valve 12. The first solenoid valve 11 controls the opening and closing of the first exhaust channel 9, and the second solenoid valve 12 controls the opening and closing of the second exhaust channel 10.

[0046] In order to achieve flow limiting while ensuring the flow guidance effect and avoid the problem of poor gas flow, the reducing tube 2 in the present invention adopts a modular structure design, including a quick connector 13 and a pressure buffer chamber 14. The buffer chamber has a conical tapered flow guidance structure, and its inner wall is provided with a spiral flow guidance groove 15.

Each collection point is arranged with a phase difference of 120° and is configured as a pressure fluctuation elimination algorithm.

[0048] In order to ensure the accuracy of curve drawing, the measurement accuracy of the first air pressure sensor 5 and the second air pressure sensor 6 in the present invention is not less than 0.1 kPa.

At the minimum pressure, the return spring in the brake valve 7 cannot be pushed to open the exhaust channel. The minimum pressure is generally about 5kPa;

[0060] Synchronously record the pressure change data of the train pipe simulation air cylinder 1 and the air pressure measurement air cylinder 4;

[0062] The first pressure change curve, the second pressure change curve, and the third pressure change curve are compared with the corresponding standard curves (normal single-channel pressure relief curve and normal dual-channel pressure relief curve of brake valve 7) to judge the sealing performance of brake valve 7 (the comparison and judgment method can adopt the existing slope comparison method, and the comparison method is not used in this invention).

[0063] Gas flow route: simulated air cylinder → reducer 2 → measuring air cylinder → first solenoid valve 11 exhaust → atmosphere

[0065] The air pressure measurement at the end of air cylinder 4 is used for monitoring, which is closer to the actual wind pressure attenuation scenario at the rear of the train.

[0066] Embodiment 2:

[0067] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 1, except that:

[0069] Further, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first test voltage, the nominal test voltage and the second test voltage are tested respectively, and different first pressure change curves, second pressure change curves and third pressure change curves are drawn using the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first test voltage, the nominal test voltage and the second test voltage respectively, so as to judge the response speed performance of the brake valve 7.

[0070] Embodiment 3:

[0071] The specific operations of the performance detection method are as follows:

[0072] Drawing of the first pressure change curve: Open the first solenoid valve 11 to connect the first exhaust passage 9 of the brake valve 7 to the atmosphere, and record the pressure change in the air pressure measuring cylinder 4. Close the first solenoid valve 11, repeat the above operation several times, and draw the first pressure change curve.

[0073] Drawing of the second pressure change curve: Open the second solenoid valve 12 to connect the second exhaust passage 10 of the brake valve 7 to the atmosphere, and record the pressure change in the air pressure measuring cylinder 4. Close the second solenoid valve 12, repeat the above operation several times, and draw the second pressure change curve.

[0074] The third pressure change curve is drawn: the first solenoid valve 11 and the second solenoid valve 12 are opened at the same time, so that the two exhaust passages of the brake valve 7 are connected to the atmosphere, and the pressure change in the air pressure measuring cylinder 4 is recorded at the same time. The two solenoid valves are closed, and the above operation is repeated for several times to draw the third pressure change curve.

[0075] Performance judgment: The above three pressure change curves are compared with the standard change curves. If the three curves are within the allowable deviation range of the standard curve, the performance of the brake valve 7 is judged to be qualified; otherwise, the performance of the brake valve 7 is judged to be unqualified.

[0076] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents. Any modification or equivalent replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
