Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of railway locomotive operation and maintenance, specifically a portable railway brake testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Railway brake air ducts, often simply referred to as brake pipes, are air ducts that run through the entire train. Their main function is to control the brakes of each vehicle by transmitting changes in the pressure of compressed air, thereby producing corresponding braking or releasing effects. In short, brake pipes are an important medium for transmitting braking signals and power in the railway vehicle braking system.
[0003] When inspecting railway brake air pipelines, acoustic leak detectors are typically used. However, existing acoustic leak detectors have relatively poor sensitivity and weak anti-interference capabilities, making them susceptible to ambient noise and resulting in inaccurate test results. Furthermore, railway brake air pipelines are usually complex in structure, with numerous bends and branches, and may contain various accessories and valves. These complex structures can interfere with the propagation of sound waves, making it difficult for acoustic leak detectors to accurately detect the leak location. In addition, different types of leaks (such as micro-leaks and intermittent leaks) may produce similar acoustic signal characteristics, making it difficult to accurately distinguish the specific type of leak during detection.
