Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of rail transportation, and in particular to a braking method, device, equipment and storage medium for a rack train. Background Art

[0002] In the field of rail transit, train braking control methods are crucial. Currently, relatively mature and commonly used braking force management methods have been developed for urban rail vehicles under traction system failure modes. However, braking control technology for rack trains still needs to be improved.

[0003] When a traction system failure occurs on an urban rail vehicle, the train network control system can calculate the braking force required and coordinate electric braking and pneumatic braking. However, rack rail trains have a unique braking system configuration, with multiple braking methods, including electric braking, belt braking, and adhesion braking. Belt braking, as a pure rack brake, differs significantly from the braking methods of urban rail vehicles and is only applied under specific operating conditions. Rack rail electric braking and adhesion electric braking also differ from the application scenarios of electric braking on urban rail vehicles. Currently, there are relatively few commonly used braking force control methods in China for rack rail vehicle failure conditions. If a rack rail train experiences a partial rack electric brake failure or needs to enter emergency traction conditions, the lack of an effective control method may prevent the train from braking smoothly on a very steep slope.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the braking effect of rack railway trains is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0025] During the process of electrically braking the rack train by using the preset maximum electric braking force of the traction control unit, if the current speed of the rack train is equal to the preset speed, a preset braking operation is performed on the rack train.

The electric braking mode is braking the cogwheel train entirely by electricity. The cogwheel train identifies the car with the electric brake fault as a target car, determines a second target braking force for the target car, and brakes the cogwheel train based on the first and second target braking forces. If the cogwheel train is in non-electric braking mode or emergency traction mode, the cogwheel train is braked by the traction control unit and the brake control unit. As can be seen from the above, in the present application, when a cogwheel train is braking, if the train is in electric braking mode (i.e., braking entirely by electricity) and an electric brake fault occurs, the train control and management system, traction control unit, and brake control unit first jointly determine the first target braking force. Then, the car with the electric brake fault is identified as a target car, and a second target braking force for the target car is determined. Finally, the train is braked based on the first and second target braking forces.

[0047] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Currently, when the traction system of an urban rail vehicle fails, the train network control system can calculate the braking force demand and coordinate electric braking and air braking, but the rack train has a unique braking system structure, which has multiple methods such as electric braking, belt braking and adhesion braking. Among them, belt braking, as a pure rack brake, is significantly different from the braking method of urban rail vehicles and is only applied under specific working conditions; rack electric braking and adhesion electric braking are also different from the application scenarios of electric braking of urban rail vehicles. At present, there are relatively few commonly used braking force control methods for rack vehicles under fault conditions in China. Once a rack train has a partial rack electric brake failure or needs to enter an emergency traction condition, the lack of an effective control method may result in the train being unable to brake and stop smoothly on a super-large slope. To this end, the present application provides a braking method, device, equipment and storage medium for a rack train, which can improve the braking effect of the rack train.

[0049] See also Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a braking method for a rack train, comprising:

[0050] Step S11: When the rack train brakes, if the rack train is in an electric braking mode and an electric braking fault occurs, a first target braking force is determined by the train control and management system, the traction control unit, and the braking control unit of the rack train; the electric braking mode is to brake the rack train entirely by electricity.

[0051] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the electric braking (EB0) mode of the rack train relies entirely on electricity to brake the train. When the rack train requires braking, if the train is in electric braking mode and an electric braking fault occurs, the rack train's Train Control and Management System (TCMS) first determines the total braking force currently required by the train. The TCMS comprehensively considers various factors, including the train's operating speed, load, track gradient, and braking distance requirements. Using a pre-set algorithm model, the TCMS calculates the total braking force required to ensure a safe and smooth stop. Simultaneously, the TCMS also obtains the current electric braking force of the traction control unit (DCU) in real time. This electric braking force data reflects the actual braking force available under the current conditions.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, if the traction control unit's current electric braking force is found to be less than the train's required total braking force, a supplementary braking method, such as mechanical braking, may be activated. In this case, the traction control unit transmits the current electric braking force data to the train control and management system and the brake control unit (BCU) for coordinated operation. Simultaneously, the train control and management system transmits the calculated total braking force data to the brake control unit via the control network, providing a basis for the brake control unit to determine the first target braking force.

[0053] After receiving the current electric braking force and total braking force, the brake control unit analyzes and processes these two data points. Specifically, the brake control unit calculates the difference between the total braking force and the current electric braking force to determine the required braking force from auxiliary braking methods such as mechanical braking. This difference is the first target braking force. This first target braking force serves as a key parameter for the brake control unit to control mechanical braking action, ensuring that the auxiliary braking system can provide accurate braking force to compensate for the shortcomings of electric braking.

[0054] Step S12: Determine the carriage with the electric brake fault in the rack train as a target carriage, determine a second target braking force for the target carriage, and brake the rack train based on the first target braking force and the second target braking force.

[0055] In this embodiment, during the braking process of the rack train, after determining the first target braking force, it is necessary to further precisely control the car with the electric brake fault to ensure the reliability of the overall braking performance of the train. First, among the cars of the rack train, the car with the electric brake fault is determined and designated as the target car.

[0056] After determining the target car, it is necessary to further determine the second target braking force for that target car. Specifically, the first friction braking force and the first air braking force of the target car are determined and then added together to obtain the second target braking force. The first friction braking force refers to the braking force provided by the friction braking system of the target car and is closely related to factors such as the friction coefficient of the friction material, brake cylinder pressure, and the radius of the brake disc or wheel. The first air braking force refers to the braking force provided by the air braking system of the target car and is determined by parameters such as air pressure and brake cylinder piston area.

[0057] Furthermore, the second target braking force is compared with the first target braking force to determine the subsequent braking strategy. If the second target braking force is not less than the first target braking force, it indicates that the target car can meet the demand for supplementary electric braking by relying solely on its own friction braking and air braking. In this case, the rack train is braked based on the current electric braking force and the second target braking force. Specifically, the train control and management system sends instructions to the braking control unit of the target car, controlling the friction braking system and the air braking system to operate according to the calculated first friction braking force and the first air braking force, while maintaining the electric braking systems of other normal cars to jointly achieve the train's braking target.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, if the second target braking force is less than the first target braking force, it indicates that the target car's own braking capacity is insufficient to fully compensate for the lack of electric braking, and additional braking force is required from other normal cars. In this case, cars other than the target car are identified among the cars, and the second friction braking force and second air braking force of these cars other than the target car are determined. The second friction braking force and the second air braking force are added together to obtain a third target braking force. The calculation principles for the second friction braking force and the second air braking force are similar to those for the target car.

[0059] This hierarchical control strategy, based on the braking capabilities of the target car and other cogwheel train cars, fully utilizes the braking resources of each cogwheel train car, maximizing braking performance and operational safety in the event of an electric brake failure. Furthermore, by calculating and rationally allocating braking force across each car, wheel wear during braking is reduced, extending the service life of the brake system and lowering cogwheel train maintenance costs.

[0060] Step S13: If the rack railway train is in a non-electric braking mode or an emergency traction mode, the rack railway train is braked by the traction control unit and the braking control unit.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the rack train requires braking, the non-electric braking mode and emergency traction mode are two special operating states that require specific braking strategies to ensure safe braking of the train. Specifically, if the rack train is in non-electric braking mode or emergency traction mode, the traction control unit and the brake control unit will brake the rack train. Braking the rack train can be divided into three scenarios.

[0062] Specifically, in one embodiment, when the rack train is in a non-electric braking mode and an electric brake fault occurs, the electric brake system is not functioning properly, and the rack train needs to be braked using the current electric braking force of the traction control unit. Despite the electric brake system fault, in some cases, the traction control unit may still provide a certain residual electric braking force, which can be used as an auxiliary braking force to participate in the train's braking process and provide some assistance in decelerating the train.

[0063] During the process of braking the rack train by the current electric braking force of the traction control unit, if the current speed of the rack train is within the preset speed range, a smooth switching of the braking force is required to ensure the smoothness and comfort of the braking process. Figure 2 As shown, the current electric braking force is reduced based on a preset braking force reduction rate, and the third friction braking force of the rack train is increased based on a preset braking force increase rate, so as to brake the rack train using the gradually decreasing current electric braking force and the gradually increasing third friction braking force. Figure 2 The smooth switching of braking force, namely "braking force in addition to electric braking force", can avoid train impulse caused by sudden changes in braking force.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the current electric braking force decreases to zero and the third friction braking force increases to the preset maximum friction braking force, the electric brake has been completely disengaged, and the rack train must now be subjected to both band braking and adhesion braking. Band braking utilizes the friction between the brake band and the brake wheel to achieve braking, and is characterized by high braking force and reliability. Adhesion braking, on the other hand, utilizes the adhesion friction between the wheels and the rails to achieve braking, and is one of the primary methods of train braking. In this scenario, band braking and adhesion braking work together to ensure the train can stop safely in the event of an electric brake failure.

[0065] In another specific embodiment, when the rack train is in emergency traction mode and no electric brake failure occurs, the train needs to rapidly decelerate to respond to the emergency. In this case, the rack train is electrically braked using the preset maximum electric brake force of the traction control unit, and an electric brake force signal (i.e., an ED-OK signal) is hardwired to the brake control units of each carriage of the rack train, so that the brake control units prohibit friction braking of the rack train based on the received electric brake force signal. The electric brake force signal indicates that the rack train currently has electric brake force capability. In emergency traction mode, prioritizing electric braking can fully utilize its advantages of fast response speed and high braking force to quickly reduce the train's speed.

[0066] It should be noted that, during the process of electrically braking the rack train by using the preset maximum electric braking force of the traction control unit, if the current speed of the rack train is equal to the preset speed, a preset braking operation is performed on the rack train.

[0067] In a third specific embodiment, when the rack train is in the emergency traction mode and an electric brake fault occurs, the situation becomes more complex. In this case, it is necessary to determine the current electric braking force of the traction control unit and the fourth friction braking force of the rack train. Based on the current electric braking force and the fourth friction braking force, the rack train can be electrically and frictionally braked. In this case, due to a fault in the electric brake system, the electric braking force may be insufficient, necessitating the friction brake system to provide additional braking force to ensure safe deceleration in an emergency.

[0068] It should be noted that, during the electric braking and friction braking of the rack train, if the current speed of the rack train is equal to the preset speed, similar to the case where the rack train is in emergency traction mode and there is no electric braking fault, the preset braking operation is also performed on the rack train.

[0069] As can be seen from the above, in the present application, when the rack train is braking, if the train is in electric braking mode (i.e., braking entirely by electricity) and an electric braking fault occurs, the train control and management system, the traction control unit, and the braking control unit will first jointly determine a first target braking force; then the car with the electric braking fault will be determined as the target car, and the second target braking force for the target car will be determined; finally, the train will be braked based on the first target braking force and the second target braking force. If the train is in non-electric braking mode or emergency traction mode, the traction control unit and the braking control unit will brake the train. In this way, the present application can reasonably distribute the braking force when the rack train has an electric braking fault, thereby improving the braking effect of the rack train.

[0070] See also Figure 3 As shown, in the emergency traction mode of the rack train, in order to clarify the preset braking operation taken when the current speed of the rack train is equal to the preset speed, the embodiment of the present application further provides a specific braking method for the rack train, including:

[0071] Step S21: If the current speed of the rack railway train is equal to the preset speed, reduce the current electric braking force of the traction control unit.

[0072] In this embodiment, if the current speed of the rack train equals the preset speed, the current electric braking force of the traction control unit is reduced. Specifically, the traction control unit controls the rack frame electric brake to issue an electric brake fade-out signal and initiate a fade-out when the current speed of the rack train reaches the preset speed. The preset speed can be 3 kilometers per hour. The preset speed is typically set based on a combination of line conditions, train characteristics, and safety standards, typically within the low-speed operating range of the train, where electric braking efficiency gradually decreases and the stability advantage of mechanical braking becomes more pronounced. Furthermore, the reduction in electric braking force also follows a preset gradient curve.

[0073] Step S22: electrically braking the rack train using the gradually decreasing electric braking force, and performing belt braking and adhesion braking on the rack train through the brake control unit.

[0074] In this embodiment, the rack train is electrically braked using a gradually decreasing electric braking force, while the brake control unit applies both band braking and adhesive braking. This process achieves a smooth transition between electric and mechanical braking. When the electric braking force begins to decrease, the brake control unit simultaneously activates the band braking system and the adhesive braking system. Adhesion braking is applied according to the maximum common braking force of rack train AW2 (i.e., the fully loaded rack train).

[0075] The advantage of this composite braking strategy is that it fully utilizes the technical characteristics of different braking methods: electric braking provides efficient energy recovery at high speeds, reducing energy consumption; belt braking and adhesion braking provide reliable braking force at low speeds, ensuring parking safety.

[0076] As can be seen from the above, in this application, when a rack train is in emergency traction mode, if the current speed of the rack train is equal to the preset speed, the current electric braking force of the traction control unit is reduced, and the rack train is electrically braked using the gradually decreasing electric braking force. The brake control unit also applies belt braking and adhesion braking to the rack train. This phased, coordinated braking strategy allows the rack train to achieve safe and reliable braking switching at preset speeds in emergency traction mode, avoiding the limitations of a single braking method while improving the redundancy and fault tolerance of the entire braking system, providing a solid guarantee for safe braking of the rack train.

[0077] Accordingly, see Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a braking device for a rack train, comprising:

[0078] a braking force determination module 11 for determining a first target braking force through a train control and management system, a traction control unit, and a braking control unit of the rack train when the rack train is braking, if the rack train is in an electric braking mode and an electric braking fault occurs; the electric braking mode is to brake the rack train entirely by electricity;

[0080] The second train braking module 13 is configured to brake the rack train through the traction control unit and the braking control unit if the rack train is in a non-electric braking mode or an emergency traction mode.

[0081] As can be seen from the above, in the present application, when the rack train is braking, if the train is in electric braking mode (i.e., braking entirely by electricity) and an electric braking fault occurs, the train control and management system, the traction control unit, and the braking control unit will first jointly determine a first target braking force; then the car with the electric braking fault will be determined as the target car, and the second target braking force for the target car will be determined; finally, the train will be braked based on the first target braking force and the second target braking force. If the train is in non-electric braking mode or emergency traction mode, the traction control unit and the braking control unit will brake the train. In this way, the present application can reasonably distribute the braking force when the rack train has an electric braking fault, thereby improving the braking effect of the rack train.
