Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic control, and in particular relates to a motor control system for an air compressor of a heavy-duty locomotive. Background Art
[0002] Heavy-duty locomotives are important equipment for transporting iron ore in open-pit mines. Due to their large carrying capacity and large inertia, heavy-duty locomotives must have a reliable braking system, namely: the air compressor is driven by a motor to fill the main air cylinder with high-pressure gas to maintain sufficient air pressure in the main air cylinder. When the running heavy-duty locomotive needs to brake, the air valve opens and the high-pressure gas enters the brake motor, thereby braking the heavy-duty locomotive.
[0003] At present, the motor control system of heavy-duty locomotive air compressor is relatively common, but most of them are composed of PLC programmable controllers. The composition of these circuits has a good effect on the motor control of heavy-duty locomotive air compressors. However, due to the high requirements of PLC programmable controllers on the environment, working in harsh environments such as mines will inevitably have an adverse effect on the reliability of the control system.

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so as to facilitate a clearer understanding for those skilled in the art.
[0018] Example 1
[0019] This embodiment includes a first branch, a second branch, and a third branch.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the first branch includes a normally open button An1 connected to the positive pole of the DC power supply, the other end of the normally open button is connected to the normally closed button An2, the other end of the normally closed button is connected to the normally closed contact RJ-1 of the overcurrent sensor, the other end of the normally closed contact of the overcurrent sensor is connected to the intermediate relay JD, and the other end of the intermediate relay is connected to the negative pole of the DC power supply; the normally open button is connected in parallel to the first normally open contact JD-1 of the intermediate relay, and the intermediate relay is connected in parallel to the first indicator light D1.
[0021] The second branch includes the second normally open contact JD-2 of the intermediate relay connected to the positive pole of the DC power supply, the other end of the second normally open contact of the intermediate relay is connected to the normally closed contact P of the pressure sensor, the other end of the normally closed contact of the pressure sensor is connected to the AC contactor KM, the pressure sensor is placed at the port of the main air cylinder outlet valve to detect the pressure of the high-pressure gas in the main air cylinder, the other end of the AC contactor is connected to the negative pole of the DC power supply; the AC contactor is also connected to the second indicator light D2.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the third branch includes a first normally open contact KM-1 of an AC contactor connected to an AC power supply, the other end of the first normally open contact of the AC contactor is connected to an overcurrent sensor RJ, the other end of the overcurrent sensor is connected to a motor M, and the other end of the motor is connected to the other end of the AC power supply.
[0023] The DC power supply in this embodiment is a 24V DC power supply.
[0024] The AC power supply in this embodiment is a 220V AC power supply.
[0025] The working process of this utility model:
[0026] Press the normally open button An1. Since the normally closed button An2 and the normally closed contact RJ-1 of the overcurrent sensor are both in the closed state, the intermediate relay JD is energized. The first normally open contact JD-1 of the intermediate relay is closed to protect the normally open button An1. The first indicator light D1 is on. At the same time, the second normally open contact JD-2 of the intermediate relay is closed. Since the normally closed contact P of the pressure sensor is in the closed state, the AC contactor KM is energized. The second indicator light D2 is on. The first normally open contact KM-1 of the AC contactor is closed. The motor M starts, driving the heavy locomotive air compressor to run and inflate the main air cylinder.
[0027] When the motor is overcurrent, the normally closed contact RJ-1 of the overcurrent sensor is disconnected, the intermediate relay JD is released, the first normally open contact JD-1 of the intermediate relay is disconnected, the first indicator light D1 goes out, and at the same time the second normally open contact JD-2 of the intermediate relay is disconnected, the AC contactor KM is released, the second indicator light D2 goes out, the first normally open contact KM-1 of the AC contactor is disconnected, and the motor stops working;
[0028] When the high-pressure gas pressure in the main air cylinder is too high, the pressure sensor will be activated, the normally closed contact P of the pressure sensor will be disconnected, the AC contactor KM will be released, the motor will stop running, and the second indicator light D2 will go out; when the high-pressure gas pressure in the main air cylinder returns to normal, the normally closed contact P of the pressure sensor will be closed, the AC contactor KM will be energized, the motor will resume running, and the second indicator light D2 will light up.
[0029] The utility model discloses a motor control system for a heavy-duty locomotive air compressor, which has a simple structure and stable operation, greatly improving the reliability of the motor control system of the heavy-duty locomotive air compressor in harsh working environments, ensuring safe production and improving production efficiency.
