Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rail transit testing technology, and particularly relates to a multifunctional current-carrying friction and wear testing system and testing method. Background Technology
[0002] The pantograph-catenary system is the only way for a train to obtain electrical energy, and its performance directly affects the train's operational safety and reliability. During the sliding contact process between the pantograph and the contact wire, the pantograph contactor experiences exceptionally complex friction and wear behavior due to the simultaneous coupling effects of mechanical friction, electrical wear, and environmental factors. In actual train operation, the pantograph-catenary system must operate in harsh environments such as rain, icing, and extreme temperatures. These changes in environmental conditions significantly affect the friction coefficient, contact resistance, wear mechanism, and arcing characteristics of the pantograph-catenary contact pair, potentially leading to abnormal wear of the pantograph contactor, contact wire damage, and pantograph-catenary disconnection, thus seriously threatening train safety.
[0003] To conduct in-depth research on the service performance of the pantograph-catenary system under different environments, predict its lifespan, and develop new pantograph contactor materials, controlled current-carrying friction and wear tests are needed in the laboratory. Currently, most existing pantograph-catenary current-carrying friction and wear testing machines focus on simulating operating conditions under normal temperature, dry conditions, and specific conditions. Although some testing machines can simulate single environmental changes, they are difficult to simulate specific operating conditions such as "icing" where water and low temperature are coupled. They also cannot easily switch and combine simulations of multiple environments such as low temperature, high temperature, rain, and icing on a single device, and cannot reproduce the complex and variable environment faced by actual train operation.
[0004] Therefore, the development of a highly integrated, precise simulation and control system for multiple environmental conditions to achieve synchronous and accurate monitoring of multi-dimensional parameters such as mechanical, electrical and environmental parameters has become an urgent need in this field.

The output end of the water pump 801 is connected to a nozzle 802 facing the friction copper plate 101 via a water pipe. The input end of the water pump 801 is connected to a water storage tank. The water output of the nozzle 802 is adjusted by controlling the water pump 801. The nozzle 802 is positioned above the friction plate assembly 1. The sensor assembly includes a temperature sensor 13 for detecting the temperature of the friction copper plate 101, an ice thickness sensor 11 for detecting the ice thickness on the friction copper plate 101, a voltage sensor 16 for detecting the voltage between the friction copper plate 101 and the sliding plate 201, and a current sensor 17 for detecting the current in the circuit formed by the load power supply 6, the sliding plate 201, and the friction copper plate 101. The temperature sensor 13 can be an MMLTS type infrared sensor with a temperature detection range of -40 to 800°C.

[0021] It should be noted that the friction copper plate 101 is in contact with the temperature control plate 102 so that the temperature of the friction copper plate 101 can be controlled by the temperature control plate 102; the insulation plate 103 is used to isolate the temperature control plate 102 from the heat exchange with the environment. The insulation plate 103 can be made of polyisocyanurate, which has a temperature resistance range of -196℃ to +130℃.

[0024] It should also be noted that the load power supply 6 can be a TI2000 DC power supply with a range of 0~600A; depending on the test requirements, the load power supply 6 can also be replaced with a TFA60-33 AC power supply with an output current range of -400~400A.
[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the linear drive mechanism includes a pneumatic telescopic rod 206 and a screw 207 threadedly connected to the first bracket 208. The axial direction of the screw 207 and the telescopic direction of the pneumatic telescopic rod 206 are both perpendicular to the friction copper plate 101. One end of the screw 207 away from the first bracket 208 is coaxially rotatably connected to one end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 206. The other end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 206 is fixedly connected to a contact force sensor 205. A guide structure perpendicular to the friction copper plate 101 is provided between the first bracket 208 and the contact force sensor 205.
[0026] It is understandable that rotating the screw 207 will cause the pneumatic telescopic rod 206, together with the contact force sensor 205, friction force sensor 204, insulating plate 203, clamp body 202 and sliding plate 201 directly or indirectly connected to it, to move closer to or away from the first support 208, thereby adjusting the distance between the sliding plate 201 and the friction copper plate 101.

[0032] It should be noted that the refrigeration equipment 7 can be an LR-15T type refrigeration unit, so as to control the temperature of the friction plate assembly 1 at -20~0℃.
[0033] Furthermore, depending on the test requirements, the temperature control component can also be a heating device 14 for heating the temperature control plate 102, and the heating device 14 is electrically connected to the control assembly; the temperature control plate 102 can be a heating plate to simulate the current-carrying friction and wear test under high temperature environment.
[0034] Furthermore, the control assembly includes a computer 15, which is electrically connected to a voltage sensor 16, a current sensor 17, a friction sensor 204, and a contact force sensor 205. The computer 15 is electrically connected to a reciprocating motion control module, a water volume control module 10, a temperature control module 12, a pneumatic control module, and a power control module; The reciprocating motion control module is electrically connected to the reciprocating motion platform 3; the water volume control module 10 is electrically connected to the water pump 801 and the ice thickness sensor 11; the temperature control module 12 is electrically connected to the temperature adjustment component and the temperature sensor 13; the pneumatic control module is electrically connected to the air pump 5; and the power control module is electrically connected to the load power supply 6.
[0035] Understandably, the water volume control module 10 controls the start and stop of the water pump 801 and the water volume based on the signal fed back by the ice thickness sensor 11; the temperature control module 12 determines the start and stop of the refrigeration equipment 7 or the heating equipment 14 by comparing the difference between the temperature detection value and the temperature set value; and the pneumatic control module adjusts the contact pressure between the friction copper plate 101 and the sliding plate 201 by controlling the pressure of the air pump 5.

[0037] It should be noted that the voltage sensor 16 has a range of 0~50V, the current sensor 17 has a range of 0~600A, and the data acquisition device 18 has a acquisition frequency of 0~80kHz.
[0038] Furthermore, the multifunctional current-carrying friction and wear test system includes a bearing component 4, which includes a base 401 and a second bracket 402 fixedly connected to the base 401.

By collecting data on friction force, contact force, contact pair voltage, and circuit current, the friction coefficient, contact resistance, and arcing characteristics of the contact pair can be analyzed, providing data support for investigating changes in the friction and wear performance of the pantograph-catenary contact pair. Through the coordinated operation of the cooling / heating assembly, the water supply assembly 8, and various sensors, it can simulate various harsh operating conditions such as icing, low temperature, high temperature, and rainfall, and simultaneously collect multi-dimensional data. This invention is rationally designed, structurally stable, and capable of simulating current-carrying friction and wear tests under various harsh environments, providing an equipment foundation for exploring the friction and wear mechanism of the pantograph-catenary system and solving abnormal wear of the pantograph-catenary contact pair materials.
[0041] This invention also provides a multifunctional current-carrying friction and wear testing method, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes the following steps: Step S1: Install the slide plate 201 on the clamp body 202, and make the slide plate 201 contact the friction copper plate 101 through the linear drive mechanism so that the slide plate 201 and the friction copper plate 101 form a friction pair; Step S2: Based on the feedback from the temperature sensor 13 and the ice thickness sensor 11, the friction copper plate 101 is brought into the target simulated environment by the temperature adjustment component and the water pump 801. Step S3: The linear drive mechanism generates contact pressure between the slide plate 201 and the friction copper plate 101; the load power supply 6 is started so that the reciprocating motion platform 3 drives the slide plate 201 to slide relative to the friction copper plate 101. Step S4: The contact pressure, friction force, contact pair voltage, loop current, and surface temperature of the friction copper plate 101 between the sliding plate 201 and the friction copper plate 101 are collected by the contact force sensor 205, friction force sensor 204, voltage sensor 16, current sensor 17, and temperature sensor 13, respectively. Step S5: After the sliding plate 201 slides a single stroke relative to the friction copper plate 101, it is determined whether the friction copper plate 101 is in the target simulated environment based on the feedback from the temperature sensor 13 and the ice thickness sensor 11. If the friction copper plate 101 is in the target simulation environment, then the reciprocating motion platform 3 will drive the slide plate 201 to slide in the opposite direction relative to the friction copper plate 101. If the friction copper plate 101 is not in the target simulation environment, the linear drive mechanism, load power supply 6, and reciprocating motion platform 3 are turned off, and data acquisition is stopped. Based on the feedback from the temperature sensor 13 and the ice thickness sensor 11, the friction copper plate 101 is brought back into the target simulation environment through the temperature regulation component and the water pump 801. The linear drive mechanism generates contact pressure between the slide plate 201 and the friction copper plate 101. The load power supply 6 is turned on so that the reciprocating motion platform 3 drives the slide plate 201 to slide in the opposite direction relative to the friction copper plate 101. Step S6: Repeat steps S4-S5 until the skateboard 201 reaches the set mileage.
[0042] It should be noted that before step S2, the operating parameters can be set.

Step T10: Repeat the above steps. After the slide plate 201 reaches the set mileage, turn off the load power supply 6, the refrigeration equipment 7, the reciprocating motion platform 3 and the air pump 5 in sequence, control the screw 207, take out the slide plate 201, observe the friction morphology of the slide plate 201 surface, and analyze data such as friction coefficient, contact resistance and arcing time.

Step U7: Skateboard 201 slides a single stroke; Step U8: Detect the surface temperature of the friction copper plate 101 using temperature sensor 13; if the actual temperature is not greater than the set temperature, the slide plate 201 continues to slide for a single stroke; if the temperature of the slide plate 201 is greater than the set temperature, turn off the air pump 5, the load power supply 6, and the reciprocating motion platform 3 and stop data acquisition, then execute step U2. Step U9: Repeat the above steps.
