Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of railway systems, in particular to a through-type vehicle washing line in a vehicle depot. Background Art

[0002] The figure-eight reciprocating arrangement is widely used in the design of the car washing line in the vehicle depot. The figure-eight reciprocating arrangement is a scheme in which the large opening of the figure-eight crossover line faces the car washing machine line (all car washing operations must be reciprocated). Figure 6 , the layout diagram of the car wash line takes the left side of the car as an example. Regardless of whether the car is on the left or right side, the car wash line should be set on the side of the entry line. There is a return line before and after the car wash machine. The total length between the car stops of the two return lines is long, resulting in large space occupation and difficulty in arranging turnouts in the throat area of ​​the vehicle depot.

[0003] There are generally two situations for car wash operations: (1) the train goes directly to the car wash after entering the depot and then enters the parking line; (2) the train first enters the depot and parks, and then returns to the car wash when the car wash line is idle. The following are the respective explanations.

[0004] The route of the train to the car wash when entering the section: The route of the train to the car wash when entering the section is as shown in the figure Figure 7 As shown by the medium thick line: the train passes through the entry line (Entry 1) → enters the right end turning line (thick solid line) of the figure-eight crossover → turns back for the first time after stopping and enters the car wash line to wash the car (dotted line) → enters the left end turning line after washing → stops and turns back for the second time → passes the left side crossover → enters the section line (Entry 2, thick dotted line) → enters the stop line within the section and parks.

[0005] The route of the train after parking in the section and then returning to the car wash: The route of the train after parking in the section and then returning to the car wash is as shown in the figure Figure 8 As shown by the three thick lines in the figure: the train first directly enters the section, stays on the stop line for a period of time, and then turns back for the first time according to the dispatch arrangement, from the exit line (exit 2, thick solid line) via the entry line → the left side crossing line of the eight-shaped crossing line to enter the left end turning line (thick solid line) → after stopping, turn back for the second time and enter the car washing line (thick dotted line) → enter the right end turning line after washing → turn back for the third time after stopping (thick dense dashed line) → go back to the entry line on the right side crossing line of the eight-shaped crossing line → after stopping at the entry line (entry 1 position), turn back for the fourth time and enter the stop line in the section via the entry line (entry 2, thick dashed line) to park.

[0006] The running paths of the above two car washing operations are both in a "fork" shape with a lot of overlap (counterclockwise loop and clockwise loop respectively). The former makes a U-turn once on each of the two reversing lines, for a total of two U-turns, and the latter makes four U-turns. The subsequent trains also have a "fork" running path, and the subsequent train cannot enter the car washing process until the previous train has completed the car washing operation and left the overlapping path (it can also enter the reversing line in advance and wait appropriately). They cannot form a tracking assembly line operation mode. These U-turns increase the driving operation procedures and the total running time. The interval between the front and rear trains is long and the running distance is long, seriously reducing the operation efficiency and wasting operation costs. For those car washing lines set on one side of the departure line, the car washing operation path of the train seriously intersects and interferes with the entry and exit operation path, further greatly reducing the operation efficiency and posing a serious potential safety hazard to transportation.

[0007] Therefore, in view of the disadvantages of the traditional figure-eight reciprocating car washing line in operation, such as the need for multiple U-turns in the car washing operation and low car washing operation efficiency, this application is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a through-type car washing line in the vehicle depot, which is used to minimize or avoid repeated U-turns in the car washing operation, reduce the running distance and operation time, and make the car washing operation process as smooth, convenient, time-saving, efficient and cost-saving as possible.

[0009] To solve the above problems, the present utility model provides a through-type car washing line in the vehicle depot, which includes an entry line, a departure line, a reversing line and a car washing machine line. The entry line and the departure line are connected by a crossover. The reversing line is connected to the car washing machine line. The entry line and the car washing machine line are connected by a first car washing crossover and a second car washing crossover. When the train enters the depot for car washing, the vehicle can enter the car washing machine line through the first car washing crossover on the entry line, and the vehicle can enter the entry line through the second car washing crossover on the car washing machine line, without any U-turns throughout the process.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the crossover connecting the entry line and the departure line includes a first crossover. When the train stops after entering the depot and then returns for car washing, it makes a U-turn on the departure line once and then enters the car washing line successively through the first crossover, the entry line, and the second car washing crossover. After the car washing is completed, it makes a second U-turn on the reversing line and then enters the depot for parking successively through the car washing machine line, the first crossover, and the entry line.

[0011] The entry line, the departure line, the reversing line, the car washing machine line, the first crossover, the first car washing crossover and the second car washing crossover form a figure-eight car washing line arranged in the forward direction.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a crossover is provided between the entry line and the return line, and the crossover connecting the entry line and the exit line includes a second crossover; when the train stops in the section and then returns to wash the car, it turns back once on the exit line and enters the return line in sequence via the second crossover and the crossover, and enters the car wash line after turning back for the second time on the return line. After washing the car, it enters the section via the second car wash crossover and the entry line to park. In this way, only two turns are required in total, avoiding the serious disadvantage that all cars must turn back four times to wash the car, and also reducing the running distance and walking time, which can greatly improve the operation efficiency.

[0013] The entry line, exit line, return line, car wash machine line, second crossover line, crossover line, first car wash crossover line and second car wash crossover line constitute a car wash line with a single return line crossover line through-type arrangement.

[0014] It is preferred to use a car wash line with a single return line, crossover line and through-line arrangement.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the crossover connecting the entry line and the exit line further includes a third crossover.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the crossover line is arranged to cross the first crossover line of the car wash, so as to achieve the effect of saving floor space.

[0017] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the second crossover line and the first crossover line are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the entry line, so that the car wash line with a single return line crossover line through arrangement can simultaneously achieve all the effects of the car wash line arranged in an eight-shaped forward direction.

[0018] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the car washing line is arranged on one side of the entry line.

[0019] Optionally, the car wash line is arranged on one side of the exit line.

[0020] The car wash line should be set up on the side of the entry line, and can be set up on the side of the exit line when it is particularly difficult. The car wash line should ensure that the train can easily enter the car wash line when entering the section, and the car wash operation should be smooth and efficient, and try to avoid repeated return and cross-interference of various operation paths.

[0021] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that, through the eight-shaped forward arrangement of the car washing line and the single return line cross-crossing line through-type arrangement of the car washing line, the scheme can achieve zero turnaround in the running path of the direct car washing when the train enters the section, which can avoid the serious disadvantage of having to turn around twice to wash the car when the train enters the section, and at the same time reduce the number of turns in the running path of the train returning to the section after stopping and then washing the car, greatly improve the operation efficiency, reduce the operation cost, and improve the operation benefit. In addition, in the car washing line scheme with a single return line cross-crossing line through-type arrangement, the subsequent train tracking type assembly line car washing operation can also be realized, and all trains enter the car washing line in one direction. The car washing operation process is simple and smooth, time-saving, energy-saving and efficient, and is also conducive to operational safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The following description is only used to disclose the utility model so that those skilled in the art can implement the utility model. The embodiments described below are only for example, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles of the utility model defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other solutions that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the utility model.

[0032] For the through-type car wash line in the vehicle depot, this plan compares and analyzes the layout of the opening direction of the eight-shaped crossover facing the entry line (referred to as the inner eight-shaped). The study recommends the priority of the "single return line crossover through-type" layout, and recommends that this method be clearly specified in the relevant design specifications to minimize or avoid repeated turns in the car wash operation, reduce the travel distance and operation time, and make the car wash operation process as smooth and convenient as possible, save time and efficiency, and save operating costs.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Car wash line arranged in a figure eight

[0035] In view of the multiple turning back problems existing in the figure eight reciprocating arrangement (outer figure eight) in the background technology part, a scheme of a large figure eight opening facing the entry line (inner figure eight) is studied, and the car washing line is still a through type.

[0036] Layout plan as shown Figure 1 As shown in the figure. Analysis of the route of the car wash train shows that the return line on the right is not necessary. Figure 1 The right-side turn 1 is optional. In this embodiment, it is preferably not necessary to set the turn 1, which can save the engineering investment of a return line and create more ample plane conditions for the layout of turnouts in the throat area of ​​the vehicle depot.

[0037] The route for washing trains directly when entering the depot

[0038] When the train enters the depot, the route it takes to enter the car wash line is as follows: Figure 2 As shown by the medium thick solid line. When entering the section, the train can directly enter the car wash line from the section entry line (entry 1) through the left side of the eight-shaped crossover (the first car wash crossover 11), and continue to move forward after completing the car wash, through the right side of the eight-shaped crossover (the second car wash crossover 12), and then through the section entry line (entry 2) to enter the section parking line. The whole process has 0 return trips.

[0039] This can avoid the serious disadvantage of having to turn back twice to wash the car when entering the section, greatly improving operational efficiency, reducing operating costs, and improving operational benefits.

[0040] The route taken by the train after stopping in the section and then returning to the car wash

[0041] The train first enters the section to park, and then returns to the car wash when the car wash line is idle. Figure 3 shown.

[0042] The train stops at the parking line in the section. When it is ready to go to the car wash, it turns back once at the parking line and enters the car wash line through the exit line (exit 2), the first crossing line 14, and the right crossing line of the eight-shaped crossing line (the second crossing line for washing 12), and enters the car wash line from right to left for washing. After washing, it turns back for the second time at the turning line 15, and then enters the section to park via the car washing machine line and the entry line (entry 2). In this way, the train that stops in the section and then washes the car only needs to turn back twice in total, which reduces two turns and avoids the serious disadvantage of having to turn back four times. Moreover, in this way, the train can turn back at an appropriate position outside the car wash garage after washing the car, and the train does not need to enter the turning line in its entirety (the car body can be on the turnout), so the corresponding turning line length can be shortened, which can provide more favorable conditions for the turnout arrangement in the throat area of ​​the vehicle section, and also save the engineering investment of a part of the length of the turning line. However, in this method, the train needs to pass through the car washing machine line twice, with a lot of overlapping routes, and the waiting time for subsequent trains to wash the cars is long.

[0043] A third crossover 13 and a first crossover 14 are sequentially arranged between the entry line and the exit line.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Car wash line with single return line, crossover line and through-type layout

[0046] In order to avoid going back and forth through the car wash line twice, facilitate the subsequent trains to wash the car quickly, and realize the tracking assembly line car washing function, the research believes that the "single return line cross-over line through-type" layout scheme is more advantageous. It would be more perfect if a parallel path could be added between the entry and exit lines. The layout scheme is shown in the figure Figure 4 As shown, a crossover 16 is added on the basis of Embodiment 1, and a third crossover 13, a second crossover 17 and a first crossover 14 are sequentially arranged between the entry line and the exit line.

[0047] The route for washing trains directly when entering the depot

[0048] When the train enters the section, it directly enters the car wash line. The path of the train entering the section and washing the car is as described in Example 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the entire process of washing the car and entering the section has 0 return trips.

[0049] The route taken by the train after stopping in the section and then returning to the car wash

[0050] The train first enters the section to park, and then returns to the car wash when the car wash line is idle. Figure 5 shown.

[0051] After the train stops in the section, it turns back once and passes through the exit line (exit 2), the second crossover 17, and the crossover 16 to enter the return line 15. It turns back again on the return line and enters the car wash line from left to right. After the car wash is completed, it passes through the second crossover 12 and the entry line (entry 2) to enter the section for parking. In this way, only two turns are needed in total, avoiding the serious disadvantage that all cars must turn back four times to wash the car, and also reducing the running distance and walking time, which can greatly improve the operation efficiency.

[0052] This arrangement can also realize the subsequent train tracking assembly line car washing operation. When the previous train that enters the section directly to wash is washing, the subsequent train to wash can track and wait for washing. The subsequent train that enters the section to park and then returns to wash can be tracked in time to enter the return line to wait. All trains enter the car washing line in the same direction. The car washing operation process is simple and smooth, time-saving, energy-saving and efficient, and also conducive to operational safety.

[0053] The layout of the car wash line must fully meet the functional and convenient needs of the operation. The layout of the "car wash line with a single return line, crossover and through-line" should be preferred from the perspective of functionality and efficiency. This method occupies a small area and is conducive to the layout of the throat area of ​​the depot. If the entry and exit lines of the depot are relatively straight, there is sufficient straight length in the entrance and exit area of ​​the depot, thus creating good plane conditions for the turnout arrangement in the throat area of ​​the depot entrance and exit, which is more conducive to achieving various functional requirements. For the already built car wash line with an eight-shaped reciprocating layout, if conditions permit, it can be studied as much as possible to transform it into this solution.

[0054] It is suggested that the layout requirements of the car wash line in the relevant design specifications can be revised and adjusted to "the car wash line should be set on the side of the entry line, and can be set on the side of the exit line when it is particularly difficult. The car wash line should meet the requirements that the train can easily enter the car wash line when entering the section, and the car wash operation route should be smooth and efficient, and try to avoid repeated return and cross-interference of various operation routes.

[0055] The preferred single-return line cross-over through-line layout is not only conducive to saving engineering, improving operational efficiency and reducing operating costs, but is also exactly what is needed to implement energy conservation and emission reduction for "carbon neutrality and carbon peak".

[0056] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed and modified in any way.
