AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, the lack of a differential between the driving wheel pairs of steam locomotives leads to severe sliding friction. The use of a single-motor dual-axle drive solution after electric transmission increases the size and weight of the motor, and the wear of different wheel pairs leads to differences in wheel diameters, which exacerbates wear.

Method used

The bogie is driven by a statorless motor and utilizes an axial magnetic flux three-phase asynchronous counter-rotating statorless dual-rotor motor to drive each wheelset separately through an independent output shaft and gearbox. This adapts to the difference in wheel diameter caused by wheelset wear, reduces wear, and increases power while reducing weight.

Benefits of technology

It achieves double the power with the same volume and weight, reduces wheel and rail wear, lowers manufacturing costs, and extends the life of the motor and shock-absorbing spring.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of rail transport technology, and particularly relates to a bogie driven by a statorless motor. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the design principle and structure of the differential, the structure and installation space of the steam locomotive, there is no differential between the locomotive wheel pairs, and theoretically the locomotive wheel has more sliding friction in the actual working process. In addition, in order to increase the friction between the locomotive wheel and the steel rail, sand is often sprayed on the steel rail, and the wheel tread of the locomotive wheel pair is seriously worn and often needs to be replaced. After the electric drive is changed, the power bogie is driven by a motor, and the differential drive between the wheel pairs is realized by independent motors, which reduces the wear of the wheel tread and the steel rail. Document CN201020593721.5 gives a design scheme of a single motor double shaft longitudinal drive hybrid wheel pair power bogie. Although the use of a single motor can reduce the number of motors, the double shaft extension motor is used in this scheme, and the motor shaft must provide driving torque for two wheel pairs, that is, the load torque of the motor is doubled under the condition that the rated speed of the motor is the same. The volume and weight of the motor are significantly increased, which is very difficult for the small space of the bogie. In addition, the output shafts on both sides of the double shaft extension motor are essentially the same shaft. Due to the different wear of the two wheel pairs of the same bogie, the wheel diameter will be different. If the same motor is used to drive the two wheel pairs through gear reduction, the wear of the wheel and the steel rail will be aggravated, so there are serious problems in the actual use of this technical scheme. SUMMARY

[0011] Further, when the two rotors of the statorless double-rotor motor are perpendicular to the first wheel pair and the second wheel pair, the first wheel pair and the second wheel pair are elastically connected with the frame through bearings and springs.

[0012] Further, the bolster is connected with the frame through elastic suspension, and a centering disc is arranged at the upper middle part of the bolster.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following technical effects: The bogie driven by the statorless motor has the following advantages: compared with the single motor with the same volume and weight and the same ground speed, the power of the double-rotor motor is doubled under the condition of the same rotating speed; the torque density and power density of the statorless motor are doubled under the condition of the same weight, and the double-rotor motor has the characteristics of free output of two shafts, so that the rotating speed difference of different wheel pairs is naturally solved, the driving force of the power bogie is improved, the weight of the power bogie is reduced, and the manufacturing cost is significantly reduced.

For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific contexts.

[0023] Embodiment 1 Please refer to Figures 1-3 A bogie driven by a non-stator motor, comprising a frame 1, a first wheel set 2, a second wheel set 3, a spring suspension 4, a bolster 27, a centering disc 5, a non-stator motor 6, a brake disc and a suspension system, wherein the first wheel set 2 and the second wheel set 3 are connected to the frame 1 through bearings and springs, the bolster 27 is connected to the frame 1 through the spring suspension 4, the centering disc 5 is arranged at the upper middle part of the bolster 27, a first speed reducer 19 is connected to the frame 1 through a spring pad, an output gear 29 of the first speed reducer 19 is coaxially connected to a first wheel shaft 21, the non-stator motor 6 is fixed below the bolster 27, a first output shaft 11 of the non-stator motor 6 is connected to a pinion 28 through a universal joint 23, a transmission rod 25 and a telescopic spline 24, and the pinion 28 is engaged with the output gear 29; the non-stator motor 6 is an axial flux three-phase asynchronous double-rotor motor, a first rotor comprises a first iron core, an armature winding and the first output shaft 11, and a second rotor comprises a second iron core, a metal squirrel cage and a second output shaft 12. The armature winding on the first rotor of the non-stator motor is connected to an external variable frequency power supply through a rotating conductive slip ring. When the variable frequency power supply supplies three-phase alternating current to the armature winding, the same size and opposite direction torques are generated between the first rotor and the second rotor to make the first rotor and the second rotor rotate in opposite directions and drive the first speed reducer and the second speed reducer through the first output shaft and the second output shaft to drive the first wheel set and the second wheel set to rotate in the same forward direction. Since the first rotor and the second rotor of the non-stator motor are not mechanically connected and can rotate freely, they can naturally adapt to the slight speed difference of the wheels of the two wheel sets caused by the difference in the diameters of the wheels due to wear to avoid sliding and reduce the wear of the wheels and the rails. Since the non-stator motor adopts double-shaft output, the total output torque is twice that of the conventional structure motor of the same volume, so the motor power and traction can be greatly improved without changing the motor weight. The use of the non-stator motor can reduce the consumption of electrical materials and significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of the motor. The reason why the non-stator motor in this example is an axial flux three-phase asynchronous double-rotor motor is that the axial flux motor is easier to produce using modern motor weaving technology, especially when the axial series multi-gap axial flux structure is adopted, the torque density and power density can be further improved. In addition, the motor in the present application is installed on the bolster, which greatly reduces the unsprung mass and is beneficial to prolong the service life of the motor and the shock absorber springs.

[0024] Embodiment 2 Please refer to Figure 4The bogie driven by the statorless motor comprises a frame 1, a first wheel pair 2, a second wheel pair 3, an elastic suspension 4, a bolster 27, a centering disc 5, a statorless motor 6, a brake disc and a suspension system, wherein the first wheel pair 2 and the second wheel pair 3 are elastically connected with the frame 1 through bearings and springs, the bolster 27 is connected with the frame 1 through the elastic suspension 4, the centering disc 5 is arranged at the upper middle part of the bolster 27, a large gear 29 is arranged on the first wheel shaft, one side of the statorless motor 6 is fixed on a rotating seat capable of rotating around the first wheel shaft, the other side of the statorless motor 6 is fixed with the bolster 27 through an elastic connecting seat, a first output shaft 11 of the statorless motor 6 is connected with a small gear 28, the small gear 28 is engaged with the large gear 29 to form a first speed reducer, a second output shaft 12 of the statorless motor 6 is connected with a small chain wheel 31, the small chain wheel 31 and a large chain wheel 32 are linked through a chain 33 to form a second speed reducer, the statorless motor 6 is a permanent magnet DC non-commutator double-rotor motor, the inside of the statorless motor 6 is of a double-rotor structure, the first rotor comprises a first iron core, an armature winding and the first output shaft 11, and the second rotor comprises a second iron core, a magnetic steel 30 and the second output shaft 12. The armature winding on the first rotor of the statorless motor is connected with an external motor driver through a rotating conductive slip ring, when the motor driver supplies power to the armature winding, the same size and opposite direction torques are generated between the first rotor and the second rotor to make the first rotor and the second rotor rotate in opposite directions, and the first wheel pair and the second wheel pair are driven to rotate in the same forward direction through the first output shaft and the second output shaft respectively through the gear and the chain wheel. The conductive slip ring has three large current collector rings and five small current collector rings, the three large current collector rings are used for supplying power to the armature winding, two of the five small current collector rings are used for supplying power to a position sensor, and the other three are used for leading out a detection signal of the position sensor, the simplest position sensor adopts three Hall switches ICs. If a control scheme without a position sensor is adopted, the conductive slip ring only needs three large current collector rings. In order to prevent the instantaneous contact voltage from jumping due to the jumping of the brush on the surface of the collector ring, two or more brushes can be configured for each collector ring. The transverse arrangement of the motor can shorten the wheel pair wheelbase, which is beneficial to reducing the turning radius. The statorless motor adopts the permanent magnet DC non-commutator double-rotor motor, which can significantly improve the motor efficiency, reduce the motor weight and reduce the motor temperature rise.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
