Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to railway locomotive technical field, concretely relates to a DC electric locomotive two position change switch overhauling test bench. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important part of modern railway transportation, the stability and reliability of the electrical system of the DC electric locomotive are directly related to the operation efficiency and safety performance of the locomotive. Among the numerous electrical accessories of the DC electric locomotive, the two-position change switch plays a crucial role. It is not only the key component for realizing the switching of the excitation mode of the locomotive traction motor and controlling the direction of the motor, but also directly related to whether the locomotive can flexibly realize the basic functions such as forward, backward, traction and electric braking. This precise and multifunctional electrical component, through the ingenious cooperation of its internal rotating drum mechanism and moving and static contacts, accurately adjusts the circuit connection state according to the locomotive operation requirements, ensuring efficient and accurate power transmission. However, after long-term operation of the locomotive, especially after experiencing complex and variable operating environments and high-intensity use pressure, the internal parts of the two-position change switch are inevitably subject to wear, looseness and even damage, which not only affects the normal operation of the locomotive, but also may cause electrical system failure and endanger train safety in severe cases. Therefore, regular disassembly and repair of the two-position change switch, timely replacement of aged or damaged parts, and adjustment of the mechanism to the best working state are indispensable for the healthy operation of the electrical system of the locomotive.

[0003] In actual repair work, faced with the highly integrated and complex two-position change switch of the DC electric locomotive, repair personnel face many challenges. First of all, the disassembly and reassembly process of the change switch requires high precision and professionalism, and any minor assembly error may affect the reliability of the contact, and thus affect the performance of the entire electrical system. In addition, since the change switch undertakes the key task in high-voltage and high-current environment in the locomotive, the detection and verification of its insulation performance, arc resistance and mechanical strength are also the top priority in the repair process. However, the traditional repair environment often lacks professional repair test devices for such complex electrical accessories, and repair personnel have to rely on ordinary workbenches for operation, which not only greatly limits the efficiency and quality of repair work, but also increases the operation difficulty and safety risk. Especially when conducting action test of the change switch, due to the lack of special air source connection device, it is difficult to accurately simulate the working conditions in the actual operation of the locomotive, resulting in a big discount in the accuracy of the test results and making it difficult to fully evaluate the performance status of the repaired change switch. SUMMARY
