Although the experienced driver can judge the drainage time according to experience, when the air humidity is abnormally high, the water accumulation in the gas storage tank may be far more than the estimated amount, and if the driver cannot detect and drain water in time, the work of air compressor will be affected. The working state of air compressor, valve group and air pipe line system directly affects the braking effect of track car, and water accumulation may cause safety hazards.

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and 2 , embodiment 1 provides an automatic drainage circuit of air compressor of railcar, which comprises power module, electromagnetic valve and relay of frequency converter of air compressor, the electromagnetic valve is arranged on the drainage port of air compressor, and the power module and frequency converter are electrically connected with power line. The normal running port X1 of frequency converter is electrically connected with the positive pole of power module, and the common point port COM is electrically connected with the negative pole of power module. The RA port of relay is electrically connected with the positive pole of power module, and the RC port is electrically connected with the input end of electromagnetic valve. The output end of electromagnetic valve is electrically connected with the negative pole of power module, the RA port is used to realize FDT detection, and the RC port is normally open port. When the frequency of frequency converter is in the predetermined range, the RA port and RC port are turned on.

[0023] When the rail car is started, the air compressor starts the pumping process, and the frequency of the air compressor frequency converter gradually increases. When the output frequency enters the set frequency detection range, the output signal is effective at this time, and the electromagnetic ball valve is opened, and the air compressor is automatically drained and started; when the output frequency exceeds the detection range, the output signal is invalid, and the automatic drainage process is ended. In addition, the pressure switch of the air compressor set is used to monitor the pressure value of the air compressor in real time, and when the pressure reaches the rated value, the shutdown program is triggered, and the frequency converter output frequency quickly returns to zero. In the frequency decreasing stage, it will enter the frequency detection range again, and it will drain again, but this time the drainage time is shorter. When the gas in the air compressor gas tank is consumed and the pressure is insufficient, the air compressor will start the pumping cycle again to ensure the stable operation of the whole system.

[0024] Due to the large difference in air humidity under different working environments, the water accumulation in the air compressor gas tank also changes. In order to meet the diversified drainage time requirements, the frequency detection range of the frequency converter can be set to lengthen or shorten the drainage time, ensure the completion of the drainage task, and provide protection for the stable operation of the air compressor.

[0025] Embodiment 2

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 and 3 , embodiment 2 provides an automatic drainage circuit of an air compressor of a rail car, which comprises a power module, an electromagnetic valve, a switch SA1, an air compressor forced start switch SB1, a forced drainage switch SB2, an indicator lamp HL1 and a relay of a frequency converter of the air compressor. The electromagnetic valve is arranged on the drainage port of the air compressor, and the power module and the frequency converter are electrically connected with the power line. The switch SA1 is provided with three switching gears (zero gear, first gear and second gear). The input end of the switch SA1 is electrically connected with the positive electrode of the power module, the zero gear output end is electrically connected with the emergency stop port X2 (specifically, port 5) of the frequency converter, the first gear output end is electrically connected with the normal operation port X1 (specifically, port 4) of the frequency converter, and the second gear output end is electrically connected with the RA port (specifically, port 1). The input end of the air compressor forced start switch SB1 is electrically connected with the positive electrode of the power module, and the output end is electrically connected with the normal operation port X1 (specifically, port 4) of the frequency converter. The input end of the forced drainage switch SB2 is electrically connected with the positive electrode of the power module, and the output end is electrically connected with the input end of the electromagnetic valve. The RC port (specifically, port 3) of the relay is electrically connected with the input end of the electromagnetic valve. One end of the indicator lamp HL1 is electrically connected with the input end of the electromagnetic valve. The common point port COM (specifically, port 6) of the frequency converter, the output end of the electromagnetic valve and the other end of the indicator lamp HL1 are electrically connected with the negative electrode of the power module.

[0027] Specifically, the switch SA1 in the embodiment of the utility model is a knob switch. It is convenient to operate.

[0028] Further, the switch SA1, the air compressor forced start switch SB1, the forced drainage switch SB2 and the indicator light HL1 are arranged on the control cabinet. In the present patent, other electronic components such as resistors, voltage protection circuits and current protection circuits can be arranged as needed.

[0029] The present patent can realize free conversion of working mode (gear 1 and gear 2) and maintenance mode (gear 0). Specifically, through the switch SA1, the three gears 0, 1 and 2 can be freely switched, wherein the 0 gear is the maintenance mode (connected with the 0 contact in the figure), at this time the air compressor will be forced to stop, providing a safe working environment for maintenance personnel and avoiding safety risks caused by misoperation. The 1 and 2 gears are working modes, when in the 1 gear (connected with the 1 contact in the figure), the air compressor forced start and forced drainage functions can be realized, but the automatic drainage function of the air compressor cannot be realized. When in the 2 gear (connected with the 2 contact in the figure), the air compressor forced start, forced drainage and automatic drainage functions can be realized. The gear switch is convenient to operate, improving the flexibility and convenience of operation. At the same time, the air tank forced drainage and air compressor forced start functions can be realized by pressing the air compressor forced start switch SB1 and the forced drainage switch SB2, providing convenience for maintenance.

[0030] Embodiment 3

[0031] Embodiment 3 provides an air compressor automatic drainage circuit for a rail car, which has basically the same structure as the air compressor automatic drainage circuit for a rail car in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, except that the power supply module in the present embodiment is a switching power supply TDR-480-24, the input end of which is connected with the power supply line of the frequency converter. The frequency converter is V9-4T-15G.

[0032] Embodiment 4

[0033] Embodiment 4 provides a control method for the aforementioned air compressor automatic drainage circuit for a rail car, which comprises: setting the parameters of the frequency converter, selecting the parameter number F8-30 and setting it to 30, at this time the frequency detection value of the frequency converter has been set to 30HZ; then, selecting the parameter number F8-31 and setting it to 5, completing the frequency detection width setting of the frequency converter. The upper limit of the frequency of the air compressor frequency converter is 50HZ, which takes 20 seconds to rise from 0HZ to 50HZ, and because the set frequency detection width is 5HZ, the time length of the output in the effective state during the frequency rising process is 2 seconds (draining water between 30HZ and 35HZ). When the output is effective, the electromagnetic valve is opened, and the air compressor immediately performs 2 seconds of automatic drainage; after 2 seconds, as the output frequency exceeds the detection width, the output becomes invalid, the electromagnetic valve is closed, and the drainage stops.

[0034] After the air compressor finishes pumping, the output frequency will decrease from 50HZ to 0HZ, and the time consumption is 10 seconds. The same as the rising process, the drainage operation will be carried out for 1 second (draining water between 30HZ-35HZ) in the falling stage. In addition, a pilot lamp HL1 (which can be installed on the control cabinet) is connected in parallel with the electromagnetic valve. When the electromagnetic valve works, the pilot lamp HL1 is on; when the electromagnetic valve stops working, the pilot lamp HL1 is off. The personnel in the rail car can directly observe the working state of the electromagnetic valve, which can effectively avoid the situation that the air in the air compressor leaks or the water is not drained in time due to the electromagnetic valve not working normally, and the personnel in the car do not realize it.

[0035] Each pumping process is accompanied by drainage operation, which guarantees the operation efficiency of the air compressor. For different air humidity environments, the drainage time can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the detection width. The greater the air humidity, the longer the drainage time. The advantage of the scheme is that only two parameters (30 and 5) need to be set to adjust the automatic drainage time, which is convenient for the operator to work and saves time and labor cost.

[0036] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
