Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining locomotive technology, specifically to an AC control device for mining locomotives. Background Technology
[0002] As the main auxiliary rail transport equipment in coal mines, electric locomotives are responsible for transporting personnel, equipment, and gangue. They play an extremely important role in coal production and are one of the main pieces of equipment in underground transportation hubs. The safe and efficient operation of electric locomotives is an essential condition for ensuring normal mine production.
[0003] Most existing electric locomotives are driven by DC motors. For example, patent application number 200920102705.9, entitled "Overhead-Wire Mining Electric Locomotive with Independent Control Power Supply Device," discloses a locomotive including an air compressor, a 24V DC generator fixed on the locomotive, and a lead-acid battery. The 24V DC generator is connected to the air compressor pulley via a belt, and the lead-acid battery is connected to the power output terminal of the 24V DC generator. In operation, the air compressor on the mining locomotive provides the initial power, which drives the 24V DC generator to generate electricity via the belt. The generated electrical energy is stored in the battery, and then the battery provides the power required for control signals. However, due to the problems of DC motors being too large, having slow operating speeds, being mismatched with the speed of the air compressor head, and having high power consumption, the failure rate and operating cost of this type of locomotive are relatively high.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] like Figure 1As shown, an AC control device for a mining locomotive is disclosed. The device body 2 is installed inside the machinery room of the locomotive body 1 and consists of an air compressor 21, an AC motor 22, an inverter 23, and a charger 24, which are connected sequentially. The air compressor 21 is installed in the machinery room of the locomotive body 1 near the front end of the locomotive body 1. The AC motor 22 is installed on the side of the air compressor 21 near the charger 24. The inverter 23 is located directly above the AC motor 22 and at the same horizontal level as the charger 24. The charger 24 is located in the center of the machinery room of the locomotive body 1. The four modules are arranged in a Z-shaped structure to improve space utilization. The AC motor 22 and the inverter 23 are connected via a low-voltage line, and the inverter 23 and the charger 24 are connected via a high-voltage line. By coordinating the inverter 23, charger 24, and air compressor 21, the problem of power waste caused by the high power consumption of DC motors in the past is solved. The problem of easy damage to the compressor head of air compressor 21 driven by DC motor is avoided, effectively extending service life, improving work efficiency, and thus reducing the company's operating and production costs.
[0016] The top of the electric locomotive body 1 is equipped with a pantograph 3 for contacting the power grid to transmit DC power. The charger 24 is connected to the pantograph 3 by a wire. The wire is wrapped with a phenolic foam plastic layer, which provides a certain degree of protection for the wire. Both the high-voltage line and the low-voltage line are equipped with a protective layer made of nano heat insulation material, which effectively extends the service life of the high-voltage line and the low-voltage line.
[0017] Working principle: First, the pantograph 3 on the locomotive body 1 is raised to contact the DC power grid. The DC power in the grid is converted into 48V low voltage by the charger 24 to power the locomotive. Then, the low voltage output by the charger 24 is converted into 380V three-phase AC power by the inverter 23 to power the AC motor 22 on the air compressor 21.
