DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] Example:

[0031] See also Figure 1-2 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0032] A train braking energy inverter recovery device includes a brake motor 10, a DC power grid 20, a high voltage auxiliary switch 30, a low voltage detection module 40, a low voltage contactor 50, a low voltage inverter 60, a high voltage detection module 70, a high voltage contactor 80, a high voltage inverter 90, an AC switch 100 and an AC power grid 110, wherein:

[0033] The brake motor 10 is a DC motor of model 110BL168S150-430TK5. Multiple brake motors 10 are electrically connected to the DC power grid 20, and the power line is electrically connected to the DC power grid 20 when the train brakes. During the braking process of the train, the train's inertia is used to rotate, convert the train's kinetic energy into DC power, and send it to the DC power grid 20.

[0034] The DC grid 20 is a copper busbar, which is electrically connected to the high voltage auxiliary switch 30 , the high voltage detection module 70 , the low voltage contactor 50 and the high voltage contactor 80 , and is used to converge the DC power converted by the brake motor 10 to the DC grid 20 .

[0035] The high voltage auxiliary switch 30 is an auxiliary contact of model CJX2F4-11, which is electrically connected to the low voltage detection module 40 and is used to switch on and off the circuit loop between the DC grid 20 and the low voltage detection module 40 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the high voltage auxiliary switch 30 is mounted on the high voltage contactor 80 and is mechanically linked to the high voltage contactor 80 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the high voltage auxiliary switch 30 is a set of normally closed contacts.

[0038] The model of the low voltage detection module 40 is YYV-1DC1 2V DC voltage detection module. The low voltage detection module 40 includes a voltage detection input terminal and a control output terminal. The control output terminal is a passive normally open contact. When a low voltage is detected, the passive contact is converted from an open state to a closed state. A voltage detection input terminal of the low voltage detection module 40 is connected to the DC power grid 20, and the other input terminal is connected to one end of the high voltage auxiliary switch 30. The other end of the high voltage auxiliary switch 30 is connected to the DC power grid 20. The output terminal is respectively connected to the low voltage contactor and the AC power grid, and is used to issue a control instruction to the low voltage contactor 50 under the action of DC power in the low voltage stage.

[0039] The model of the low-voltage contactor 50 is CJX2-1810-DC24V DC contactor. The low-voltage contactor 50 includes a main contact part and a coil part. The coil part has two input ends, one input end is connected to the AC power grid 110, and the other input end is connected to one end of the passive normally open contact of the low-voltage detection module 40. The other end of the passive normally open contact of the low-voltage detection module 40 is connected to the AC power grid 110. The main contact part of the low-voltage contactor 50 is connected in series in the connection loop between the DC power grid 20 and the input end of the low-voltage inverter 60, and is used to control the on and off of the DC power input to the low-voltage inverter 60.

[0040] The low voltage inverter 60 is a sine wave inverter of model LAIBRE-LBL-48. The low voltage inverter 60 includes an input end and an output end. The output end is electrically connected to the AC switch 100 and is used to invert the DC power in the DC grid 20 at a low voltage stage into AC power and output it to the AC switch 100.

[0041] Because the rotation speed of the motor is directly related to the electromotive force generated by electromagnetic induction, the generating voltage of the brake motor 10 is usually proportional to the motor speed. At low speeds, the lower the speed, the lower the generating voltage, and the higher the speed, the higher the generating voltage. However, as the speed increases, the generating voltage of the motor does not increase linearly, but a saturation effect occurs. Within a certain speed range, the generating capacity of the motor reaches its maximum value and cannot be further increased. At this time, even if the train continues to brake at a higher speed, the generating voltage of the motor will no longer continue to increase, but will remain at a stable level. Therefore, at high speeds, the generating voltage tends to be stable and can be recovered through an inverter with normal voltage. However, at low speeds, the normal voltage cannot be inverted to the corresponding output voltage. Therefore, if you want to recover the electric energy generated by braking at low speeds, you need to use an inverter with a higher inversion multiple.

[0042] When the brake motor 10 brakes at a low speed, the generated voltage is low, and the generated DC power enters the DC grid 20. One voltage detection terminal of the low voltage detection module 40 is directly connected to the DC grid 20, and the other voltage detection terminal is connected to the DC grid 20 through the high voltage auxiliary switch 30. Since the high voltage auxiliary switch 30 is a group of normally closed contacts, when the low voltage detection module 40 detects a stage in which the generated voltage is low, it sends a control instruction to the coil part of the low voltage contactor 50. After receiving the control instruction, the coil part of the low voltage contactor 50 controls the contact part to be attracted, and connects the connection loop between the DC grid 20 and the input end of the low voltage inverter 60, so that the DC power of the low voltage stage of the DC grid 20 enters the low voltage inverter 60 and is inverted into AC power.

[0043] The model of the high voltage detection module 70 is YYV-1DC24V DC voltage detection module. The high voltage detection module 70 includes a voltage detection input terminal and a control output terminal. The control output terminal is a passive normally open contact. When a low voltage is detected, the passive contact is converted from an open state to a closed state. The voltage detection input terminal of the high voltage detection module 70 is electrically connected to the DC power grid 20, and the control output terminal is respectively connected to the high voltage contactor 80 and the AC power grid 110, so as to issue a control instruction to the high voltage contactor 80 under the action of the DC power in the high voltage stage.

[0044] The model of the high-voltage contactor 80 is CJX2-1810-DC24V DC contactor. The high-voltage contactor 80 includes a main contact part and a coil part. The coil part has two input ends, one input end is connected to the AC power grid 110, and the other input end is connected to one end of the passive normally open contact of the high voltage detection module 70. The other end of the passive normally open contact of the high voltage detection module 70 is connected to the AC power grid 110. The high-voltage contactor 80 is connected in series in the connection loop between the DC power grid 20 and the input end of the high voltage inverter 90, and is used to control the on and off of the DC power input to the high voltage inverter 90.

[0045] The high voltage inverter 90 is a sine wave inverter of model LAI BRE-LBL-60. The high voltage inverter 90 includes an input end and an output end. The output end is electrically connected to the AC switch 100 and is used to invert the DC power in the high voltage stage in the DC grid 20 into AC power and output it to the AC switch 100.

[0046] In this embodiment, the AC voltage after inversion by the low voltage inverter 60 and the high voltage inverter 90 is the same.

[0047] When the brake motor 10 brakes at high speed, the generated voltage increases, and the generated DC power enters the DC grid 20. When the high voltage detection module 70 detects that the generated voltage is at a higher stage, the passive contacts of the high voltage detection module 70 are converted from an open state to a closed state, and the circuit loop of the coil of the high voltage contactor 80 is connected. After the coil part of the high voltage contactor 80 receives the voltage, the contact part is controlled to be attracted, and the connection loop between the DC grid 20 and the input end of the high voltage inverter 90 is connected, so that the DC power of the high voltage stage of the DC grid 20 enters the high voltage inverter 90 and is inverted into AC power. At the same time, the high voltage auxiliary switch 30 moves together with the contacts of the high voltage contactor 80, and the high voltage auxiliary switch 30 is disconnected from the closed state, disconnecting the connection between the low voltage detection module 40 and the DC grid, thereby controlling the contacts of the low voltage contactor 50 to be disconnected, and then disconnecting the connection loop between the DC grid 20 and the input end of the low voltage inverter 60.

[0048] The AC switch 100 is an air circuit breaker of model DZ47LE-32, which is electrically connected to the AC grid 110 and is used to open and close the electrical connection between the AC grid 110 and the low voltage inverter 60 and the high voltage inverter 90 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the AC switch 100 is an air circuit breaker.

[0050] The low voltage inverter 60 and the high voltage inverter 90 respectively transmit the inverted AC power to the AC grid 110 through the AC switch 100 for recycling. Meanwhile, the AC switch 100 automatically disconnects when the current is too large to protect the circuit from being damaged.

[0051] The AC power grid 110 is used to combine the power recovered by the equipment during the low-voltage phase of direct current inversion with the power recovered by the equipment during the high-voltage phase of direct current inversion.

[0052] The working principle of the utility model;

[0053] When in use, the different voltages generated by the brake motor when braking at different speed stages are sent to the DC power grid, and then the low-voltage DC generated by the brake motor when the train brakes at low speed is connected to the low-voltage inverter for inversion through the low-voltage detection module. Then, the high-voltage DC generated by the brake motor when the train brakes at high speed is connected to the high-voltage inverter for inversion through the high-voltage detection module, and finally inverted into AC power of the same voltage for recycling, which effectively solves the problem that the electric energy generated by the brake motor at low speed cannot be recovered.

[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
