Description

Camel hump tail train replenishment air device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of railway ventilation devices, and in particular to a hump tail train replenishment air device. Background Technology

[0002] Railway locomotives often require supplemental air systems to ensure the effectiveness of the braking system and the normal operation of the locomotive.

[0003] The existing air supply system plays a crucial role in the brake pressure holding process. Firstly, if the leakage in the train pipe cannot be replenished during brake pressure holding, the actual pressure reduction in the train pipe will increase with the duration of pressure holding, and the brake cylinder pressure will also increase. This will affect the train's braking operation, thus requiring an air supply system to replenish the leaked air. Furthermore, the air supply system ensures that the brake cylinder pressure remains stable during brake pressure holding, preventing insufficient braking force due to leakage. Therefore, the air supply system is indispensable in railway locomotives; it not only ensures the stability and effectiveness of the braking system but also improves the safety and efficiency of train operation.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, dispatching centers, train depots, or locomotive depots coordinate the allocation of locomotives, requiring the vehicles to be re-aired before returning to work. This method consumes locomotive resources and scheduling, thus creating technical problems that make station operation organization difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hump tail train air supply device to alleviate the technical problem in the prior art that the need to supply air to the train before returning to work causes a certain degree of occupation of locomotive resources and scheduling, which in turn increases the difficulty of station operation organization.
