Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rubber sealing components, and more specifically, to a fiber skeleton reinforced rubber membrane plate. Background Art
[0002] my country's railway rolling stock all utilizes air brakes, which operate the train by controlling the compressed air pressure within the brake pipe. The Type 120 control valve relies on the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of its diaphragm to generate up-and-down movement, controlling the brake to achieve vehicle braking. With the advancement of my country's railway rolling stock maintenance program and system reforms and the shift toward heavier freight, higher requirements have been placed on the service life and performance of the control valve diaphragms on railway freight cars. Furthermore, my country's railway freight cars operate in environments with significant temperature differences between north and south, requiring trains to operate normally in temperatures between -50°C and 70°C. Some lines also face thawing conditions during winter, requiring them to withstand temperatures of 110°C for three hours on multiple occasions. Therefore, the control valve diaphragms must exhibit excellent low-temperature resistance and thermal stability.
[0003] Existing control valve diaphragms are primarily made of natural rubber, which offers excellent low-temperature resistance and short-term performance. However, natural rubber diaphragms have poor thermal and oxidative aging resistance and insufficient oil resistance, making them prone to cracking and perforation. As natural rubber ages, its tensile and tear strengths rapidly decrease, making it susceptible to fatigue and perforation. These factors can cause brake valve failures, impacting driving safety and order.
[0004] The function of the 120-type air control valve emergency valve is to accelerate the exhaust of the train pipe during emergency braking (emergency local reduction function), making the emergency braking function reliable, improving the emergency braking sensitivity, and thus increasing the braking wave speed. However, during normal braking and brake stability tests, the 120 emergency valve must not have an emergency braking function and must have good stability performance. The 120 emergency valve must be tested on the 120 valve test bench (705 test bench) before leaving the factory or being installed on the train, mainly to examine the emergency sensitivity and stability performance of the valve body. According to technical documents, the 120 emergency valve should be regularly tested for environmental performance at -50°C, +70°C, etc. using a truck single-vehicle tester, also to examine the emergency sensitivity and stability performance of the valve body. The 120 emergency valve rubber diaphragm has the greatest impact on the above-mentioned inspections and tests. 120 emergency valves equipped with existing natural rubber diaphragms occasionally fail inspections.
[0005] Figure 1The 120 emergency valve has an S-shaped rubber diaphragm. The outer edge of the emergency valve rubber diaphragm is pressed against the emergency valve body by the emergency valve cover. The upper chamber of the emergency piston communicates with the emergency chamber in the intermediate body via a hidden passage and a through-hole on the mounting surface. The lower chamber of the emergency piston (the stabilizing spring chamber) communicates with the brake pipe. The 120 emergency valve utilizes the pressure difference between the upper and lower sides of the emergency piston (i.e., the emergency chamber and the brake pipe) to control the operation of the pilot valve and the bleed valve, producing an emergency partial pressure relief effect. When emergency braking occurs, the pressure below the emergency valve diaphragm decreases. Once a sufficient pressure differential is established on both sides, the diaphragm drives the emergency piston rod downward, first pushing open the pilot valve and then the bleed valve via the push rod, achieving the purpose of emergency partial pressure relief. At this time, the emergency valve diaphragm is subjected to significant radial tension, and stress concentration is prone to occur at the transition connection between the lower side of the diaphragm and its external sealing rib, which may even cause the diaphragm to perforate or rupture, rendering the emergency valve ineffective.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
