Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of rail transportation, in particular to a grounding circuit of a dual-current vehicle. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of urbanization, more and more cities are seeing a surge in the number of people living in the suburbs and commuting to work in the city. This demographic is experiencing a surge in demand for transportation: fast, direct access. Consequently, suburban railway lines have emerged. Suburban railway lines are typically long, with large station spacing and few controlled factors. They primarily utilize a 27.5kV / 50Hz AC traction power supply system, which offers low investment, low maintenance costs, and high operating speeds (typically 120-160 km / h), enabling rapid travel. The application of AC / DC dual-current power supply in rail transit effectively bridges the gap between suburban and urban rail transit, and holds great promise for future applications.
[0003] One of the key technologies of AC / DC dual-current traction power supply is the grounding of vehicles and vehicle equipment. Since AC and DC power supplies use different electronic devices, two grounding systems are required to ensure driving safety. However, how to better connect the layout of the two grounding systems is the core issue of dual-current power supply. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a dual-current vehicle grounding circuit to solve the problem of which grounding circuit to use to ensure driving safety due to the different electronic devices used for AC power supply and DC power supply.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a dual-current vehicle grounding circuit, including multiple car bodies and a grounding bus, the multiple car bodies are connected by grounding wires, each car body is connected to the bogie in the car body by a grounding wire, the car body is also connected to the first grounding bus through the grounding wire, a grounding resistor is connected between the first grounding bus and the car body, and the first grounding bus is connected to the wheel through the grounding wire.
[0006] The principles and advantages of this solution are as follows: the car body and bogie are connected by a ground wire, and the car body is connected to the wheels via a bus. When there is a leakage or lightning strike, the electricity on the car body and bogie can be smoothly introduced to the wheels. Since the wheels are in contact with the rails, and the rails are installed on the ground, the current on the car body and bogie can be directed to the ground, thus protecting the passengers and equipment in the car body. In addition, multiple car bodies are also connected by ground wires. When any car body has a leakage, it can be guided to the ground with the help of other car bodies. A grounding resistor is connected between the first grounding bus and the car body. The grounding resistor can consume the induced current or static electricity in the car body, and also plays a good protective role.
[0007] Furthermore, each car body is individually connected to a grounding wire that is connected to the overhead grounding wire of the contact network; in this way, when a leakage occurs in the car body, the current can also flow away from the grounding wire in the contact network.
[0008] Furthermore, adjacent vehicle bodies are connected by two grounding wires with a cross-sectional area of 120 square millimeters.
[0009] Furthermore, the car body and the bogies on both sides of the car body are connected by grounding wires with a cross-sectional area of 120 square millimeters.
[0010] Furthermore, the vehicle body and the first grounding bus are connected by a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 120 square millimeters.
[0011] The beneficial effects are: adjacent car bodies, the car body and the bogies on both sides, and the car body and the first grounding bus are all connected by grounding wires with a cross-sectional area of 120 square millimeters, ensuring that large currents such as lightning strikes can pass through, thereby protecting the vehicle. Not using thicker grounding wires is to ensure the vehicle is as lightweight as possible.
[0012] As an improvement, the first grounding bus includes a left grounding bus and a right grounding bus, and the left grounding bus and the right grounding bus are respectively connected to the vehicle body by grounding wires. The left grounding bus is connected to the left wheel by a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 120 square millimeters, and the right grounding bus is connected to the right wheel by a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 120 square millimeters.
[0013] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the first grounding bus is divided into two sections, which can take into account the positions of the wheels on both sides and avoid interference in installation.
[0014] Wherein, if the vehicle body includes a traction inverter, the grounding end of the traction inverter is connected to the second grounding bus using a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 95 square millimeters, and the second grounding bus is connected to the first grounding bus using a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 95 square millimeters.
[0015] In addition, if the vehicle body includes a traction transformer, the traction transformer is connected to a fourth grounding bus, and the fourth grounding bus is also connected to the wheels. The traction transformer and the fourth grounding bus are connected by a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 50 square millimeters, and the fourth grounding bus and the wheels are connected by a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 50 square millimeters.
[0016] Finally, if the vehicle body includes both a traction transformer and a traction converter, the grounding end of the traction converter is connected to the second grounding bus, the second grounding bus is connected to the first grounding bus through a grounding wire, the first grounding bus is connected to the wheel, the traction transformer is connected to the fourth grounding bus, the fourth grounding bus is also connected to the wheel, the traction converter and the second grounding bus are connected via a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 120 square millimeters, the first grounding bus and the traction transformer, the first grounding bus and the fourth grounding bus are connected via a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 50 square millimeters, and the fourth grounding bus and the wheel are connected via a grounding wire with a cross-sectional area of 50 square millimeters.
[0017] The beneficial effects of these features are as follows: since the vehicle uses both DC and AC power, the necessary equipment for DC power supply is the traction converter, and the necessary equipment for AC power supply is the traction transformer. The power supply equipment for the cab-carriage (Mc) is the traction inverter, and the power supply equipment for the pantograph-carriage (Mp) is the traction converter. The power supply equipment for the power carriage (M) includes both the traction converter and the traction transformer. The power supply equipment primarily addresses short circuits or leakage in the power circuit. Each power supply device uses a separate busbar, which can be connected to other electrical devices in the same location. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
