Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of locomotive, especially relates to a locomotive no-fire return power supply system. BACKGROUND

[0002] When the locomotive is returned for maintenance after new construction, high-level maintenance and fault outside the section, all the return locomotives need to be set to no-fire return mode. The no-fire return of the locomotive means that the fault locomotive being towed does not work by itself. According to the provisions of the Railway Locomotive No-Fire Return Handling Method, the locomotive is strictly prohibited from raising the bow and closing the brake during the no-fire return. At this time, the return locomotive cannot generate electricity by itself or take electricity from the overhead line, and the staff cannot obtain the living electricity, resulting in the fact that the living electricity required by the air conditioner and other necessities of life cannot be met. Especially in the cold or hot season, the temperature in the locomotive is very low or very high, and the environment is relatively harsh, which greatly increases the difficulty of the task of the return locomotive.

[0003] Currently, when the locomotive is mutually connected and returned without fire, the staff uses the locomotive battery to solve the basic living electricity problem in the harsh climate season. Due to the limited capacity of the battery, the locomotive lighting device is required not to be turned on for a long time to prevent the locomotive battery from running out of power. In addition, if the battery runs out of power during the process of towing the train back to the maintenance plant, the auxiliary equipment cannot work normally, which leads to the fact that the compressor of the braking system cannot work normally, so that the energy required for train electric braking cannot be provided, which brings great safety hazards to the train operation. If there is a device that can provide power for a long time to provide living electricity for the air conditioner, electric heater, electric stove, microwave oven, etc. in the cab, it can effectively avoid this situation, and at the same time, the safety of the return locomotive and the health of the staff are also guaranteed.

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the basic living facilities designed and configured by the locomotive cannot operate normally in the case of no external power supply in the no-power return state of the locomotive, there are currently several technical solutions, such as a locomotive no-fire return power supply device and method proposed by Zhuzhou Times Electric Co., Ltd., a vehicle-mounted alternating current locomotive no-fire return power supply device proposed by Xi'an Tieshan Rail Equipment Co., Ltd., and a power locomotive no-electric zone moving device and power locomotive proposed by Zhuzhou Tianlong Electric Co., Ltd.

[0005] The above-mentioned several technical solutions have good implementation in function, but need to be allocated to each locomotive, the equipment is independently configured, the overall size is large, and there are a series of problems such as configuration location, configuration quantity, management after configuration, etc. The no-fire return of the locomotive is required only when a fixed number of kilometers are run or a fault occurs, so the frequency of use of a single locomotive is low. For the locomotive depot, it is costly and has low utilization rate to allocate the above-mentioned power supply device to each locomotive. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0025] The locomotive fireless return power supply system of the embodiment, when the locomotive is in the fireless return, is connected with the locomotive fireless return power supply system of the embodiment through a locomotive garage socket, an output voltage is established by the energy storage capacitor 1, excitation is provided, the locomotive traction motor 7 is converted from an idle state to a generator working state.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the energy storage capacitor 1 is provided with an external charging port 11.

[0029] Further, in the embodiment, the super capacitor 3 is connected with an energy consumption module 8 through a contactor KM1.

[0030] The working principle of the locomotive fireless return power supply system is as follows:

[0031] The locomotive traction motor 7 runs as a motor in the traction working condition and runs as a generator in the regenerative braking working condition. When the working state of the locomotive traction motor 7 is converted, the excitation current needs to be absorbed from the traction converter side to establish the magnetic field inside the motor, so as to maintain the operation of the motor. When the locomotive is sent back without fire, the locomotive is connected to the locomotive fireless return power supply system through the locomotive depot socket, the output voltage is established by the energy storage capacitor 1 in the locomotive fireless return power supply system, excitation is provided, and the locomotive traction motor 7 is converted from the idle state to the generator working state.

[0033] When the locomotive traction motor 7 runs in the generator state and generates power, the generated power is charged to the intermediate super capacitor 3 through the bidirectional inverter module 5 and the bidirectional DC-DC module 4, the intermediate voltage is maintained stable by the intermediate super capacitor 3, and AC 220V or other level voltage is output as the driver's living power through the inverter module 6.

[0034] The intermediate super capacitor 3 is provided with a voltage monitoring module, and when the voltage is too large, the contactor KM1 is attracted, and the excess energy is consumed by the energy consumption module 8.

[0035] When the speed of the locomotive is less than the set speed (for example, 15 km / h), the locomotive fireless return power supply system is cut off.
