DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and effect of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further explained in detail by the following examples.
[0028] A novel auxiliary compressor set ( Figures 1 to 3 As shown), the basic composition of the utility model includes air suction filter 1, oil-free compressor 2, high-pressure hose 3, cooler 4, air dryer 5, safety valve 6, fine filter 7, regeneration air cylinder 8, test joint 9, shell 10, air outlet pipe 11, back flushing pipe 12, rubber shock pad 13.
[0029] Air is sucked into the oil-free compressor 2 through the air filter 1, compressed by the oil-free compressor 2, and reaches the cooler 4 through the high-pressure hose 3. The compressed air is cooled by the cooler 4 and reaches the air dryer 5. After being fully dehumidified, the compressed air becomes dry, and then passes through the fine filter 7 to become clean and dry compressed air. Finally, the clean and dry compressed air is sent to the pressure cylinder of the bow system outside the compressor unit through the air outlet pipe 11. The safety valve 6 functions as a safety protection system when the pressure of the compressor unit is abnormal (exceeding the take-off pressure of 0.9 MPa). A test joint 9 is connected in parallel at the outlet of the fine filter 7, which can be used to detect the pressure inside the compressor unit by connecting test instruments externally.
[0030] The pressure cylinder of the bow system is not part of the compressor unit. The start and stop of the compressor need to be controlled by the control system outside the compressor unit.
[0031] The air outlet of the air dryer 5 reaches the dryer regeneration pressure. After the oil-free compressor is stopped (the start-stop system is controlled externally), the compressed air at the air outlet of the air dryer passes through the built-in valve, opens the air dryer blow valve, and the dry air from the regeneration air cylinder 8 blows back through the blowback pipe 12 to regenerate the dryer 5. The dryer, and then through the air dryer blow valve and the silencer, is discharged into the atmosphere, while the accumulated water is discharged. The dryer has a heating rod, which works at low temperature to prevent the water in the dryer from freezing.
[0032] Temperature control elements are installed on the cylinder head of the compressor and inside the motor. When the temperature of the compressor or motor exceeds the specified range, the compressor unit will be immediately powered off.
[0033] The oil-free compressor 2 uses a direct current motor, which is convenient for the compressor to take power. The compressor is a full-oil-free piston structure without liquid lubricating oil, completely avoiding the pollution of compressed air by oil mist and oil vapor.
[0034] A rubber shock pad 13 is provided between the compressor mounting foot and the casing 10. The oil-free compressor 2 exhaust port and the cooler 4 are connected by a high-pressure hose 3, which reduces the vibration of the compressor transmitted to the tank and the pipeline;
[0035] As Figure 4As shown, in the working time, the oil-free compressor 2 runs to compress air to the required pressure. The compressed air reaches the cooler 4 through the high-pressure hose 3, and the compressed air is cooled by the cooler 4 and reaches the air dryer 5, and after being fully dehumidified, the compressed air becomes dry, and then passes through the fine filter 7 to become clean and dry compressed air, and finally through the air outlet pipe 11 into the pressure air cylinder of the arch raising system outside the unit. The air outlet of the air dryer 5 reaches the dryer regeneration pressure, and when the oil-free compressor is stopped (the start-stop system is controlled externally), the compressed air at the air outlet of the dryer passes through the built-in valve, opens the dryer blow valve, and the dry air from the regeneration air cylinder 8 blows the dryer to regenerate the dryer, and then through the blow valve and the silencer of the dryer. Discharge into the atmosphere, while discharging the accumulated water, the dryer has a heating rod, which works at low temperature to prevent the water in the dryer from freezing.
[0036] In summary, the utility model in the using, the start and stop of the compressor need to be controlled by the control system outside the compressor unit. The test connector 9 arranged at the same time can be externally connected to the test instrument, and the debugging personnel can monitor the internal pressure of the unit in real time. The chassis 10 adopts a base frame structure, is made of 4mm stainless steel plate, and adopts a punching mode, which not only ensures the strength of the chassis 10 and meets the vehicle impact vibration requirements, but also greatly reduces the weight of the whole machine. The leather cup type piston ring used in the oil-free compressor 2 is filled with polytetrafluoroethylene material with imported formula, which has excellent self-lubricating performance and small friction coefficient with the cylinder wall; has good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, maximizes the service life, and according to the calculation, under the existing use conditions of the railway locomotive auxiliary compressor unit, the piston ring can be operated indefinitely. Rubber shock pad 13 is arranged between the mounting foot of the oil-free compressor 2 and the chassis 10, and high-pressure hose 3 is connected between the exhaust port of the oil-free compressor 2 and the cooler 4, which effectively blocks the vibration generated by the compressor during operation and reduces the transmission of vibration to the vehicle;
[0037] The performance of the auxiliary compressor unit is as follows:
[0038] The use voltage is 110VDC (-30%~+25%); the rated exhaust volume is greater than or equal to 50L / min (the air suction state is 100kPa (absolute pressure), and the environmental temperature is 20, ℃ under the condition of exhaust pressure 800kPa); the maximum exhaust pressure is 1.0Mpa; the safety valve take-off pressure is 0.9±0.02MPa; the rated power is 880W; the weight is less than or equal to 42kg±3%kg; the working environment temperature is -40~+70, ℃; the noise (1m sound pressure level) is less than or equal to 88dB(A); and the compressed air quality solid particle level at the outlet meets the standards of ISO8573, including particle level 3, oil level 2 and water level 3.
[0039] The above merely is the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, can make a number of improvements, these improvements also should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
