Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric locomotive heat dissipation technology, specifically an automatic cooling system for the high-voltage electrical control room of a mining electric locomotive. Background Technology

[0002] As the main auxiliary rail transport equipment in coal mines, electric locomotives are responsible for transporting personnel, equipment, and gangue, playing an extremely important role in coal production. They are one of the main pieces of equipment in underground transportation hubs, and the safe and efficient operation of electric locomotives is essential for ensuring normal mine production. Currently, most mining electric locomotives are variable frequency speed-regulating locomotives, which have large starting tonnage and high speed controllability, playing a crucial role in transporting large supports and other equipment.

[0003] During locomotive operation, the temperature inside the main track roadway reaches 26-32 degrees Celsius in summer due to factors such as shaft depth and high ground temperature. This temperature is highly unfavorable for the high-frequency, long-term operation of locomotives. Current technology typically uses heat dissipation panels for the frequency converters of locomotives. However, in practical applications, this method is not ideal. Firstly, the airflow in the underground roadway is parallel to the vehicle, resulting in less heat being carried away by the air as it passes through the car. Secondly, the air inside the car is almost stagnant, easily causing the frequency converter to frequently stop due to high-temperature alarms. It requires the vehicle to be stopped and cooled before restarting, affecting operation. Furthermore, if excessive temperature leads to electrical malfunctions requiring repair, poor ventilation increases the difficulty of the workers' work. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic cooling system for the high-voltage electrical control room of a mining locomotive, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

This utility model discloses an automatic cooling system for the high-voltage electrical control room of a mining locomotive, including a charger and a cooling system installed on the locomotive body.

[0006] The following improvement is made in this application: the temperature sensor is connected to the controller on the side away from the DC cooling fan and directly corresponds to the heat source. The temperature sensor is integrated outside the controller and corresponds to the heat source. It senses the internal temperature of the motor vehicle body and sends a signal to the controller. When the temperature sensor reaches the set minimum temperature, the controller receives the signal and controls the DC cooling fan to operate at a low speed.

[0007] The following improvements are made in this application: the rain cover includes a horizontal part parallel to the top of the motor vehicle body and a vertical part formed by bending the two ends of the horizontal part. The top of the motor vehicle body within the coverage area of ​​the rain cover is provided with multiple support rods to support the horizontal part and limit the vertical part. A gap is provided between the vertical part and the top of the motor vehicle body to form an air duct, so that an air duct is formed between the rain cover and the DC cooling fan, further enhancing heat dissipation.

[0008] The following improvements are made in this application: multiple heat dissipation holes are provided on the vertical part of the rain cover to reduce heat accumulation and improve heat dissipation effect.

[0009] The following improvement is made in this application: the controller is covered with a heat insulation layer, which is made of fiber or nano heat insulation material.

The controller is connected to the charger via a wire, and the wire is provided with a protective layer made of phenolic foam.
