[0039] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] See Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of the implementation of a rail vehicle air spring control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This method is applied to a target air spring on a rail vehicle that has at least two additional air chambers. The installation position of the target air spring can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the air spring control method for this rail vehicle is described in detail below:

[0042] Step 101: Obtain the upper surface vibration acceleration and lower surface vibration acceleration of at least one target air spring corresponding to each bogie.

[0043] In this embodiment, considering that the dynamic stiffness of an air spring is composed of the static stiffness of the air spring itself, the emergency spring, and the auxiliary air chambers, different volumes of auxiliary air chambers matched with the same air spring will exhibit different dynamic stiffnesses. For rail vehicles operating at different speeds, under different track conditions, and with different loads, the vibration loads transmitted from the bogie wheels to the frame and from the frame to the car body (via the air springs) are constantly changing, leading to differences in the operating comfort and safety of the rail vehicle. However, the auxiliary air chamber volume of traditional bogie air springs is constant, which often results in the rail vehicle failing to achieve optimal comfort and safety within a certain operating range. Therefore, it is considered to install an air spring with at least two auxiliary air chambers on the rail vehicle, i.e., the target air spring.

[0044] For example, the mounting position of the target air spring can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the additional air chamber of the target air spring can be set as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the target air spring can be obtained by matching additional air chambers of different volumes with fixed air springs through a staged valve.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the target air spring can be matched with three auxiliary air chambers, the volumes of which correspond to volumes A, B, and C, respectively. When controlling the target air spring, by changing the combination of volumes A, B, and C, the appropriate auxiliary air chamber volume combination scheme can be selected from seven auxiliary air chamber volume combination schemes.

[0046] It should be noted that the number and volume of the additional air chambers of the target air spring can be determined according to the actual situation. For example, the target air spring can also be matched with four additional air chambers, five additional air chambers, etc., and the volumes of different additional air chambers can be distributed according to preset rules, such as arithmetic sequence distribution, exponential distribution, etc.

[0047] For example, the number and volume of the additional air chambers of the target air spring can be calibrated according to the operating speed, track conditions and load of the rail vehicle, and the number and volume of the additional air chambers of the target air spring on the corresponding rail vehicle can be determined based on the calibration results.

[0048] After installing target air springs with at least two additional air chambers on the rail vehicle, considering that the car body and frame of the rail vehicle are rigid and the vibrations received by each bogie are basically the same, it is sufficient to obtain the upper surface vibration acceleration and lower surface vibration acceleration of at least one target air spring corresponding to each bogie.

[0049] For example, vibration acceleration sensors can be installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the target air spring (e.g., the upper and lower cover plates of the target air spring) respectively to obtain the corresponding upper surface vibration acceleration and lower surface vibration acceleration.

[0050] Step 102: Calculate the difference between the vibration acceleration of the lower surface and the vibration acceleration of the upper surface, and record it as the current difference.

[0051] Step 103: Based on the current difference, determine whether there is any abnormality in the vibration of the rail vehicle after passing the target air spring.

[0052] For example, based on the current difference, determining whether there is any abnormality in the vibration of the rail vehicle after passing through the target air spring includes:

[0053] Determine whether the current difference is less than a preset threshold.

[0054] If the current difference is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the vibration of the rail vehicle after passing through the target air spring is abnormal.

[0055] If the current difference is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that the vibration of the rail vehicle after passing through the target air spring is normal.

[0056] In this embodiment, considering that the vibration acceleration of the lower surface of the target air spring represents the vibration load received by the target air spring, and the vibration acceleration of the upper surface of the target air spring represents the vibration load after being attenuated by the target air spring, the difference between the vibration acceleration of the lower surface and the vibration acceleration of the upper surface can be used to represent the attenuation of the vibration load by the target air spring. In this way, the difference can be used to determine whether there is any abnormality in the vibration of the rail vehicle after passing through the target air spring.

[0057] For example, if the difference is less than or equal to a preset threshold, meaning the target air spring attenuates the vibration load less, it can be determined that the vibration of the rail vehicle after passing the target air spring is abnormal. If the difference is greater than the preset threshold, meaning the attenuation of the vibration load by the target air spring is within the normal range, it can be determined that the vibration of the rail vehicle after passing the target air spring is normal.

[0058] Step 104: If the vibration of the rail vehicle is abnormal, determine the adjustment scheme of the additional air chamber of the target air spring based on the current difference and the current additional air chamber volume of the target air spring.

[0059] Optionally, before determining the additional air chamber adjustment scheme for the target air spring based on the current difference and the current additional air chamber volume of the target air spring, the method further includes:

[0060] Obtain the current vibration frequency of the rail vehicle's frame and / or body, the current comfort index of the rail vehicle, and the current safety index of the rail vehicle.

[0061] Based on the current difference and the current additional air chamber volume of the target air spring, determine the additional air chamber adjustment scheme for the target air spring, including:

[0062] Based on the current difference, the current additional air chamber volume of the target air spring, the current vibration frequency, the current comfort index, and the current safety index, determine the additional air chamber adjustment scheme for the target air spring.

[0063] In this embodiment, considering that the ultimate goal of adjusting the additional air chamber volume of the target air spring is to ensure the comfort and safety of the rail vehicle operation, the vibration frequency of the rail vehicle's frame or body varies (e.g., low, medium, or high frequency) under different speeds, track conditions, and loads. At different vibration frequencies, the required stiffness of the target air spring differs, resulting in different optimal comfort and safety indices for the rail vehicle. For example, when the rail vehicle is traveling at low speed, on a smooth track, and under a heavy load, even if the difference between the vibration acceleration of the lower and upper surfaces of the target air spring is less than a preset threshold, it may not be necessary to adjust the volume of the additional air chamber. However, when the rail vehicle is traveling at high speed, even if the track conditions are smooth and the load is heavy, and the difference between the vibration acceleration of the lower and upper surfaces of the target air spring is greater than a preset threshold, it may be necessary to adjust the volume of the additional air chamber. Therefore, the current vibration frequency of the rail vehicle's frame and / or body, the current comfort index of the rail vehicle, and the current safety index of the rail vehicle can also be obtained. Then, based on the current difference, the current additional air chamber volume of the target air spring, the current vibration frequency, the current comfort index, and the current safety index, the additional air chamber adjustment scheme of the target air spring can be comprehensively determined.

[0064] It should be noted that when the vibration of the rail vehicle after passing the target air spring is determined to be normal based on the current difference value, that is, when the current difference value is greater than the preset threshold, the current vibration frequency of the rail vehicle's frame and / or car body, the current comfort index of the rail vehicle, and the current safety index of the rail vehicle can also be obtained. Based on the current difference value, current vibration frequency, current comfort index, and current safety index, it can be further determined whether the volume of the additional air chamber of the target air spring is needed and how to adjust the volume of the additional air chamber of the target air spring.

[0065] Optionally, based on the current difference, the current additional air chamber volume of the target air spring, the current vibration frequency, the current comfort index, and the current safety index, an adjustment scheme for the additional air chamber of the target air spring is determined, including:

[0066] The reference volume of the additional air chamber is determined based on the current difference, current vibration frequency, current comfort index, and current safety index.

[0067] Based on the current additional air chamber volume and the reference additional air chamber volume of the target air spring, determine the additional air chamber adjustment scheme for the target air spring.

[0068] In one embodiment, determining the reference volume of the additional air chamber based on the current difference, current vibration frequency, current comfort index, and current safety index includes:

[0069] Obtain a table showing the correspondence between the difference, the vibration frequency of the rail vehicle's frame and / or body, the rail vehicle's comfort index, the rail vehicle's safety index, and the additional air chamber volume of the target air spring.

[0070] Based on the current difference, current vibration frequency, current comfort index, and current safety index, refer to the corresponding relationship table to determine the reference volume of the additional air chamber.

[0071] In another embodiment, the additional air chamber reference volume is determined based on the current difference, the current vibration frequency, the current comfort index, and the current safety index, including:

[0072] Input the current difference, current vibration frequency, current comfort index, and current safety index into the preset classification model to obtain the classification result of the preset classification model.

[0073] The additional air chamber volume corresponding to the classification result is determined as the reference volume of the additional air chamber.

[0074] In this embodiment, to more accurately determine the reference volume of the additional air chamber and thus more quickly and accurately adjust the dynamic stiffness of the target air spring when the operating characteristics of the rail vehicle change, the above-mentioned correspondence table can be obtained through pre-calibration. The real-time acquired current difference, current vibration frequency, current comfort index, and current safety index can be matched with various operating conditions in the above correspondence table, and the reference volume of the additional air chamber can be determined from the matched operating conditions. Alternatively, a preset classification model can be obtained through big data analysis. The real-time acquired current difference, current vibration frequency, current comfort index, and current safety index can be classified, and the reference volume of the additional air chamber can be determined according to the type (i.e., the classification result).

[0075] For example, the current vibration frequency of the rail vehicle's frame or body can be calibrated based on the rail vehicle's current operating speed, current operating line conditions, and current load. The current comfort and safety indicators of the rail vehicle can be determined according to the calculation methods given in the "Specifications for Evaluation and Testing of Locomotive and Rolling Stock Dynamics Performance". Among them, the safety indicators can include indicators related to operational stability, such as derailment coefficient, wheel load reduction rate, wheel axle lateral force, and lateral stability.

[0076] The following specific examples illustrate the overall working process of the air spring control method for rail vehicles provided in this invention:

[0077] First, vibration acceleration sensors are placed on the upper and lower surfaces of the air springs of the bogies in traditional rail vehicles to record the vibration parameters of the frame and the car body in real time (i.e., the vibration acceleration of the lower and upper surfaces of the air springs) and transmit the vibration parameters to the intelligent host.

[0078] Then the intelligent host can determine whether the vehicle vibration is normal after passing through the air spring (i.e., whether the difference between the vibration acceleration of the lower surface and the vibration acceleration of the upper surface is greater than a preset threshold), and transmit this information to the vehicle train control system.

[0079] The train control system transmits adjustment commands to the intelligent host of the carriage experiencing abnormalities based on database information (including vibration frequency, comfort index, and safety index). According to the database adjustment information, the intelligent host issues an opening command to the auxiliary air chamber electronic control valve, opening the corresponding auxiliary air chamber volume and increasing the volume of the auxiliary air chamber matched with the air spring, thus forming new air spring stiffness parameters to adjust the abnormal vibration of the vehicle. Simultaneously, vibration acceleration sensors above and below the air spring transmit recorded vibration data to the intelligent host in real time. The intelligent host performs another assessment and transmits the result to the train control system. If the assessment is still unsatisfactory, adjustments are made again until the vehicle's comfort requirements are met.

[0080] In addition, when the vehicle's stability deteriorates after long-term operation, the vehicle control system can send a command to the intelligent host to adjust the volume of the air spring's auxiliary air chamber. The intelligent host will then issue an instruction to close part of the auxiliary air chamber volume, reducing the size of the auxiliary air chamber volume matched with the air spring, thereby increasing the overall stiffness of the air spring, suppressing abnormal vehicle vibrations, and improving vehicle stability.

[0081] In this embodiment, considering that different air springs have different dynamic stiffnesses and different load filtering capabilities for different vibration frequencies, in actual operation, the air spring is generally matched with the largest additional air chamber volume. At this point, the air spring stiffness is the smallest and the "softest," achieving the best comfort. However, if the air spring is too "soft," it will weaken the anti-rollover capability of the vehicle body, which is not conducive to ensuring the lateral stability of the rail vehicle. Rail vehicles require a suitable air spring stiffness, which cannot be directly fixed. Therefore, this embodiment uses sensors to detect the upper and lower surface vibration accelerations of the air spring. During vehicle testing, different operating speeds, track conditions, and loads are input into the simulated vehicle, and additional air chambers of different volumes are matched to the air spring. The corresponding stiffness of the air spring when matched with additional air chambers of different volumes, as well as the stiffness required for vibration frequencies corresponding to different operating speeds, track conditions, and loads, are calibrated. Thus, by calibrating and detecting the upper and lower surface vibration accelerations, the additional air chamber volume of the air spring is adjusted.

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, a target air spring with at least two additional air chambers is installed on the rail vehicle. The upper and lower surface vibration accelerations of at least one target air spring corresponding to each bogie are then acquired, and the difference between the lower and upper surface vibration accelerations is calculated and recorded as the current difference. Based on this current difference, it is determined whether the vibration of the rail vehicle is abnormal after passing through the target air spring. If the vibration of the rail vehicle is abnormal, an adjustment scheme for the additional air chambers of the target air spring is determined based on the current difference and the current volume of the additional air chambers. Furthermore, by using the at least two additional air chambers of the target air spring, the stiffness of the target air spring is adjusted in real time according to the real-time upper and lower surface vibration accelerations, thereby finding the optimal stiffness of the target air spring during the real-time operation of the rail vehicle. This makes the target air spring more suitable for the real-time operation of the rail vehicle, thus ensuring the comfort and safety of the rail vehicle operation in real time.

[0083] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0095] In one possible implementation, the adjustment module 44 can be used to input the current difference, the current vibration frequency, the current comfort index, and the current safety index into a preset classification model to obtain the classification result of the preset classification model; and determine the additional air chamber volume corresponding to the classification result as the additional air chamber reference volume.
