Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of railway locomotive brake control, and specifically relates to a brake control valve position acquisition device. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle air brake is a device that uses compressed air to control the braking and release of the train, and is an important part of the train's braking system. The working principle is to control the release and transmission of compressed air to change the air pressure in the brake cylinder, thereby producing a braking or release effect. At present, the brake control valves of the YZ-1 air brake mainly used in domestic large-scale track maintenance locomotives include automatic brake valves (large gates) and individual brake valves (small gates). Each valve has four positions (brake position, release position, operation position, pressure holding position) and a downward pressure release position; the position of the brake control valve itself determines the pressure distribution of the brake system. The brake valve of the air brake system uses a mechanical structure to control the pressure distribution of the air. It is impossible to directly monitor the position of the control valve, and thus it is impossible to evaluate the operator's compliance.

[0003] In the field of simulator applications, the position of the brake valve needs to be monitored in real time during the training and teaching process. The position of the control valve is used to simulate the pressure of the brake system to provide standardized guidance to the trainees. However, the brake valve of the original mechanical mechanism cannot provide position information for the simulator, and thus the position information of the brake valve cannot be directly obtained. Therefore, the control valve of the mechanical structure needs to be modified so that the brake valve position information can be quickly obtained. This has become an urgent technical problem that needs to be solved for the control valve of the air brake machine. Utility Model Content

The operator drives the brake valve central axis 1 to rotate by operating the brake valve handle 10, thereby driving the first fixed support block 2 to rotate. In the process of the first fixed support block 2 rotating with the brake valve central axis 1, the edge of the first fixed support block 2 approaches the first position detector on the surface of the fixed support plate 4 or leaves the first position detector on the surface of the fixed support plate 4, generating an approach or departure detection signal, thereby detecting the corresponding operating position of the brake valve central axis 1 through the first position detector; in the process of the operator pressing the brake valve central axis 1 by operating the brake valve handle 10, the brake valve central axis 1 moves downward, thereby generating a downward pressure approach signal with the second position detector, realizing the collection of the downward pressure action, and thus collecting and obtaining the operating position information of the brake valve handle 10.

[0017] In this utility model, if Figure 1 As shown, the first fixed support block 2 is a Z-shaped support block, and a sliding mounting hole 20 for being sleeved on the outer wall of the brake end of the brake valve center axis 1 is provided on one side of the Z-shaped support block, and the first position detector is provided on the fixed support plate 4 provided below the edge of the other side of the Z-shaped support block; a fastening screw 3 vertically extending into the sliding mounting hole 20 is provided on the outer wall of the Z-shaped support block, and the Z-shaped support block is fixed to the brake valve center axis 1 by the fastening screw 3 perpendicular to the brake valve center axis 1, and the first position detector consists of a first proximity switch 5 and a second proximity switch 6 provided on the fixed support plate 4.

[0018] In this utility model, if Figure 1 As shown, a linear movement detection hole 80 is set on the surface of the second fixed support block 8 and along the axial direction of the brake valve central axis 1, and the second position detector is passed through the linear movement detection hole 80 set in the second fixed support block 8; a buffer support spring 7 is set on the surface of the second fixed support block 8 and at the opening position of the linear movement detection hole 80, which is squeezed against the moving collection end of the brake valve central axis 1, and the buffer support spring 7 is connected to the second fixed support block 8; the second position detector is a third proximity switch 9 set in the linear movement detection hole 80; the second fixed support block 8 adopts a hexagonal nut structure, and the hexagonal nut serves as the bottom sealing nut of the air brake valve housing, which not only bears the bearing pressure of the brake valve central axis 1, but also is used to fix the third proximity switch 9 at the bottom.

[0019] In this utility model, if Figure 1 As shown, the proximity signals collected by the first proximity switch 5, the second proximity switch 6, and the third proximity switch 9 are respectively transmitted to the air brake system of the air brake, thereby determining the position of the brake valve shaft 1 and obtaining the control valve position information. The brake valve handle 10 at the upper end of the brake valve shaft 1 is responsible for rotating the various connecting parts to achieve the functions of each position. At the same time, pressing the brake valve handle 10 downward can drive the shaft downward to realize the control valve position collection. The specific steps for collecting the control valve position are as follows:

[0020] Step 1: Install the Z-shaped support block (first fixed support block 2) on the brake valve central axis 1, slide and adjust the height of the Z-shaped support block, and then fix it to the corresponding height of the brake valve central axis 1 by tightening the screws 3;

[0021] Step 2: Install the first proximity switch 5 and the second proximity switch 6 on the fixed support plate 4, and then install the fixed support plate 4 on the valve body. The horizontal position of the first proximity switch 5 and the second proximity switch 6 should be directly opposite to the Z-shaped support block. Signal sensing is achieved by adjusting the distance between the first proximity switch 5, the second proximity switch 6 and the Z-shaped support block.

[0022] Step 3: The operator operates the brake valve handle 10 to rotate the brake valve center axis 1, thereby driving the Z-shaped support block (first fixed support block 2) to rotate;

[0023] Step 4: When the Z-shaped support block (first fixed support block 2) rotates with the brake valve central axis 1, the Z-shaped support block and the two proximity switches (first proximity switch 5 and second proximity switch 6) respectively generate four combination position signals, including 00; 01, 11, and 10, which correspond to the braking position, the release position, the operating position, and the pressure holding position.

[0024] Step 5: Install the buffer support spring 7 and the second fixed support block 8 at the bottom of the brake valve center shaft 1, and pass the third proximity switch 9 through the second fixed support block 8 (hexagonal nut) and fix it at the center position of the second fixed support block 8 (hexagonal nut);

[0025] Part 6: When the brake valve handle 10 is pressed down, the brake valve center axis 1 is pressed down at the same time, thereby generating a proximity signal with the third proximity switch 9, realizing the collection of the downward pressing action of the brake valve center axis 1, and thus obtaining the position information of the brake valve handle 10.

[0026] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the utility model.
