Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of internal combustion locomotives. Background Art
[0002] The DF4C diesel locomotive will generate huge noise during the brake test after starting, the simple test after trailering, the braking and deceleration during operation, and the through test. As a result, the locomotive crew cannot hear the commands clearly during the vehicle-machine joint control, the station and train dispatchers cannot hear the replies clearly, and the operations such as the engine crew's call and response will also be affected. It will also cause damage to the locomotive crew's hearing and affect their health.
[0003] Investigations revealed the source of the noise to be the relay valve on the JZ-7 brake motor used on the DF4C diesel locomotive. The locomotive's self-valve reduces pressure, allowing the train pipe pressure to be discharged through the JZ-7 brake motor's relay valve exhaust port. However, the exhaust port was too small and the exhaust volume was too large, resulting in excessive air pressure and the resulting loud noise. Utility Model Content

[0028] The utility model provides a brake relay valve noise reduction device such as Figure 1-10 As shown, an inner sound-absorbing housing 9 is provided within an outer sound-absorbing housing 1, with an air layer between the outer and inner sound-absorbing housings 1 and 9. Microholes 2 are provided at the same position on the outer and inner sound-absorbing housings 1 and 9. Both the outer and inner sound-absorbing housings 1 and 9 are cubic structures without a bottom surface. A first rectangular notch 4 is provided on the first side wall 3 of the outer sound-absorbing housing 1, and a second rectangular notch 10 is provided on the inner sound-absorbing housing 9 corresponding to the first rectangular notch 4. First extension rods 5 extending downwardly are provided on both sides of the first side wall 3 of the outer sound-absorbing housing 1, and third extension rods 11 are provided on the inner sound-absorbing housing 9 corresponding to the first extension rods 5. Second extension rods 6 extending downwardly and connected to the side edges of the first extension rods 5 are provided on the second and third side walls 7 and 8 of the outer sound-absorbing housing 1 adjacent to the first side wall 3. A fourth extension rod 12 is provided on the inner sound-absorbing housing 9 corresponding to the second extension rod 6. The outer silencer box 1 and the inner silencer box 9 can be made of common metal materials such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, iron, etc. Stainless steel can be selected based on stability, environmental protection and economy. The silencer box can be installed at the relay valve in a nested manner, and screw holes can be extended from the box body to fasten it. In addition, the box body has a large volume and has enough space to relieve the impact of air pressure, which is very stable. Since the metal plate is conductive, it can be coated with an insulating layer to prevent conductivity. The silencer box is easy to disassemble using a nested installation, which is convenient for staff to inspect and repair; the micropores with a diameter of 2 cm on the two metal plates of the box body are also easy to manufacture, the process is simple, and economic costs are saved.
[0029] The wall thickness of the outer sound-absorbing box body 1 and the inner sound-absorbing box body 9 is 0.9 mm. The perforation rate of the micropores 2 on the outer sound-absorbing box body 1 and the inner sound-absorbing box body (9) is 1%-5%. The aperture of the micropores 2 is 2 cm, and the interval between the micropores 2 is 2 cm. The length of the outer sound-absorbing box body 1 is 24 cm, the width is 22 cm, and the height is 24 cm. The length of the inner sound-absorbing box body 9 is 21 cm, the width is 16 cm, and the height is 20 cm. The height of the rectangular notch 4 is 16 cm and the width is 9 cm. The height of the first extension rod 5 and the second extension rod 6 is 12 cm. When the air is discharged through the exhaust port of the relay valve, the air pressure, flow rate, flow velocity and air flow direction are uncertain. The sound-absorbing box will not rectify the air, and there is enough space for the air to be discharged, which can meet the requirements of not affecting the exhaust efficiency.
[0030] The air layer is filled with sound-absorbing materials such as felt or rubber sound insulation cotton. The thickness of the felt or rubber sound insulation cotton is 3 cm.
[0031] The relationship between decompression volume and exhaust time, taking DF4C locomotive as an example, the locomotive decompression volume and exhaust time are shown in the following table:
[0032]
[0033] Table DF4C locomotive pressure reduction and exhaust time comparison table
[0034] By dividing the exhaust time by the decompression amount to see the proportional relationship, it can be calculated that the ratio of decompression amount to exhaust time is almost 1:0.01.
[0035] The relay valve body is completely covered by the outer silencer box and the inner silencer box 9, and the outer silencer box, the inner silencer box (9), the air layer and the micropores constitute a microporous sound absorption structure. The air discharged from the exhaust port of the relay valve has a high pressure and a high flow rate, which produces a huge noise, and the micropores have a great influence on flow control and noise reduction. A non-sealed double-layer micro-perforated plate sound absorption structure is adopted and filled with sound-absorbing materials to achieve the purpose of further noise reduction and silencing. Since there are other equipment around the relay valve, the air layer is relatively thin. The double-layer micro-perforated plate structure and the sound-absorbing materials are used to reduce the noise and the micropores are used to discharge the air.
