[0002] With the development of science and technology and the demands of the new era, green environmental protection, high efficiency and energy saving, and low carbon and intelligence have become the development themes of rail transit equipment. Traditional diesel locomotives are facing significant pressure for upgrading and technological innovation. Currently, there is no systematic method for modular upgrading and reconstruction of diesel locomotives for new energy. The design of traditional diesel locomotive bodies does not reserve space for the installation of new energy equipment, requiring large-scale demolition of the original structure during modification, resulting in high costs and inconvenience for battery pack maintenance. At the same time, the power battery pack has low heat dissipation efficiency and is prone to thermal runaway under high-temperature conditions. Therefore, the current focus is on modifying a diesel locomotive body to be suitable for new energy, and solving the above-mentioned technical problems has become the direction of efforts for technicians in this field.

The locomotive body utilizes the existing diesel locomotive body, with a chassis steel structure modification module installed at the bottom, side wall steel structure modification modules installed on both sides, and a roof steel structure modification module installed on the top. The chassis steel structure modification module primarily adapts the existing chassis steel structure for future use and adds new energy battery components. The side wall steel structure modification module primarily modifies the existing side wall structure to accommodate the maintenance of the power system battery pack. The roof steel structure modification module primarily dismantles the existing roof structure and creates new heat dissipation channels to meet the requirements of a new energy vehicle body.

[0006] The side wall steel structure modification module includes removing the right side wall of the locomotive body with the machine room air filter and the side wall with the cooling room, and modifying them into a honeycomb aluminum composite panel structure wall with maintenance doors for the maintenance of the power system battery pack.
[0007] The roof steel structure modification module includes modifying the top cover of the power compartment of the locomotive body, and setting an integrated heat dissipation duct on the top cover, as well as removing the original car body's cooling compartment top radiator structure and cooling compartment steel structure, and adding a movable cooling compartment top cover that adopts a hinged linkage structure with the original auxiliary compartment movable top cover.
[0008] The integrated heat dissipation duct has an embedded 45° air guide array, the duct cross-section adopts a trapezoidal tapering design, and the inner wall of the duct is coated with paraffin-based phase change material.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a new energy conversion vehicle body structure for a diesel locomotive includes a locomotive body 1. The locomotive body 1 adopts the original diesel locomotive body. A chassis steel structure conversion module 2 is set at the bottom of the locomotive body 1, side wall steel structure conversion modules 3 are set on both sides of the locomotive body 1, and a roof steel structure conversion module 4 is set on the top of the locomotive body 1. The chassis steel structure conversion module 2 mainly modifies the original chassis steel structure for applicability and adds new energy battery components. The side wall steel structure conversion module 3 mainly modifies the original side wall structure to adapt to the maintenance of the power system battery pack. The roof steel structure conversion module 4 mainly disassembles the original roof structure and forms a new heat dissipation channel to meet the requirements of the new energy vehicle body.
[0020] The underframe steel structure modification module 2 includes a slide rail battery mounting base 21, a dynamic stress compensation bolt module 22, and a power battery rack base plate 23. The bottom of the locomotive body 1 is symmetrically arranged with slide rail battery mounting bases 21 at equal intervals, and dynamic stress compensation bolt modules 22 are arranged at equal intervals on these bases. The power battery rack base plate 23 is then installed through the dynamic stress compensation bolt modules 22. The slide rail battery mounting base 21 is adaptable to various battery packs, allowing for installation of different specifications and models of battery packs, thus achieving a multi-purpose modification structure. The side wall steel structure modification module 3 involves removing the right side wall of the locomotive body 1 containing the machine room air filter and the side wall containing the cooling room, and transforming them into a honeycomb aluminum composite panel structure wall 7 with an inspection door. This modification is for maintaining the power system battery pack. The honeycomb structure facilitates ventilation and heat dissipation of the battery pack, preventing high temperatures and extending its service life. Simultaneously, the inspection door design makes battery maintenance and replacement convenient, improving maintenance efficiency.
[0021] The roof steel structure modification module 4 includes modifying the top cover of the power compartment of the locomotive body 1, and installing an integrated heat dissipation duct 6 on the top cover. It also involves removing the original cooling chamber top radiator structure and cooling chamber steel structure from the original vehicle body 1, and adding a movable cooling chamber top cover 8, which is hinged to the original auxiliary chamber movable top cover. The integrated heat dissipation duct 6 has an embedded 45° guide vane array, a trapezoidal tapering cross-section, and is coated with paraffin-based phase change material on its inner wall. This modification expands the space for single maintenance operations and integrates the heat dissipation duct 6, with an embedded 45° guide vane array and a paraffin-based phase change material coating on the inner wall, to improve transient heat load handling capacity, enhance heat dissipation efficiency for the power battery pack, and ensure safe operation under high-temperature conditions. The trapezoidal tapering cross-section design allows for smoother airflow, reducing resistance and noise. Compared to traditional ventilation ducts, the trapezoidal tapering duct reduces wind energy loss and energy consumption, improving ventilation efficiency and energy saving.
[0022] In summary, this utility model, on the one hand, improves the structural strength of the internal combustion locomotive body under maximum vertical load after modification, achieving an 82% reuse rate of the original body frame and saving 35% in material costs; on the other hand, the modified body structure effectively enhances the heat dissipation performance of the battery pack, ensuring safe operation even under high-temperature conditions; and based on this structure, other new energy modification products for internal combustion locomotives can be derived, improving modification efficiency.
[0023] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
