Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric locomotive equipment technology, specifically to an air filter for electric locomotives. Background Technology

[0002] Electric locomotives are locomotives whose wheels are driven by electric motors. The electrical energy required is supplied by the overhead contact line or third rail of the electrified railway power supply system. Electric locomotives do not carry a prime mover themselves, but rely on an external power system to supply them with electrical energy through the traction power supply system. This reduces their weight and achieves better acceleration and high-speed performance. When in use, their role in air filtration is mainly reflected in ensuring the cleanliness of the air in the driver's cab, protecting the traction motor and auxiliary equipment, and maintaining constant positive pressure in the engine room. These measures together ensure the safety and reliability of electric locomotives during operation.

The outer casing has several air inlet slots, a filter screen is installed inside the casing, a cleaning pipe is located behind the filter screen, several nozzles are installed on the cleaning pipe facing the filter screen, one end of the cleaning pipe is connected to a high-pressure pipe, two suction pipes are installed on the side wall of the outer casing in front of the filter screen, a heating mechanism is installed behind the cleaning pipe, and an air outlet mechanism is installed on the side wall of the outer casing behind the filter screen. A connecting pipe is connected to the inlet of a switching valve, and the two outlets of the switching valve are connected to the air outlet pipe and the circulation pipe, respectively. This invention facilitates rapid ventilation, filtration, and heating, enables filter cleaning, and saves cleaning time. It has a simple structure, is easy to operate quickly, has high stability, and improves overall efficiency. However, this patent still has the following problems in actual use:

The specific details are as follows:

[0019] 1. By setting a fixed bevel gear, a transmission bevel gear, and a sleeve bevel gear at the end of the fan blade, the cam is driven to rotate at a reduced speed. The cam then pushes the overlapping plate to move the filter plate toward the vibration spring. The vibration generated during the filter plate's reset process promotes the dust to fall off the filter plate, allowing dust removal and air filtration to be carried out simultaneously. This improves the efficiency of air filtration and makes the air filter for electric locomotives more practical.

[0020] 2. By setting a dust collection trough, a sealing plate, a driven rack, a driving rack, a transmission gear, and a return spring at the lower end of the filter plate, the sealing plate can be easily opened at the dust collection trough when the filter plate vibrates. This facilitates the storage of dust in the dust collection trough, reduces the amount of dust falling back onto the fan blades, and prevents dust from polluting the air again, thus affecting the air filtration effect.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: an air filter for electric locomotives, including a filter housing 1; further comprising: a rotating shaft 2 rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the filter housing 1, a fan blade 3 fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the rotating shaft 2, a sleeve 4 sleeved at one end of the rotating shaft 2, a fixed bevel gear 5 disposed on the inner side of the sleeve 4, a transmission bevel gear 6 meshing with one side of the fixed bevel gear 5, a positioning cylinder 7 rotatably connected to one side of the transmission bevel gear 6, a sleeve bevel gear 8 meshing with the other side of the transmission bevel gear 6, a cam 9 fixedly connected to one side of the sleeve bevel gear 8, and an air outlet 26 opened on the other side of the inner wall of the filter housing 1; a motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 2 through the filter housing 1, and the rotating shaft... Both ends of 2 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter housing 1, and the fixed bevel gear 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2; one end of the sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the filter housing 1, the positioning cylinder 7 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 2, the sleeve bevel gear 8 is rotatably connected to the end of the sleeve 4 away from the fixed bevel gear 5, and one end of the sleeve bevel gear 8 passes through the sleeve 4 and is fixedly connected to the cam 9. By setting the fixed bevel gear 5, the transmission bevel gear 6 and the sleeve bevel gear 8, a differential speed is formed between the fan blade 3 and the cam 9, which facilitates reducing the contact speed between the cam 9 and the overlapping plate 10, and provides time for the filter plate 11 to reset, so that the vibration effect of the filter plate 11 is better, thereby improving the efficiency of air filtration of the electric locomotive.

[0029] Among them, a cam 9 is connected to a connecting plate 10 on one side, a filter plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 10, a dust guide port 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the filter plate 11, a scraper 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dust guide port 12, a support rod 14 is fixedly connected to the other side of the filter plate 11, a sliding rod 15 is slidably connected to one side of the support rod 14, a vibration spring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 15, and a mounting plate 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 15; the cam 9 and the connecting plate 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft 2, and the sliding rod 15, the vibration spring 16, and the mounting plate 17 are... The filter plates 11 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the overlapping plate 10 and the support rod 14. One side of the overlapping plate 10 is slidably connected to the outer side of the sliding rod 15. The vibration spring 16 is located on the side of the overlapping plate 10 away from the cam 9. The bottom surface of the scraper 13 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the filter housing 1. By setting the filter plate 11 in a V-shape, the contact area between the air and the filter plate 11 is increased, and the filtration efficiency is improved. The dust guide port 12 is set at the lower end of the filter plate 11 to facilitate the dust falling to one side of the dust storage tank 25. In conjunction with the scraper 13, the dust is pushed into the dust storage tank 25.

[0030] A lifting plate 18 is attached to the other side of the cam 9. A return spring 20 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the lifting plate 18. A drive rack 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the lifting plate 18. A driven rack 21 is provided on one side of the drive rack 19. A connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the driven rack 21. A sealing plate 23 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the connecting rod 22. A dust collection trough 25 is slidably connected to the outer side of the sealing plate 23. The dust collection trough 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter housing 1 near the cam 9. The bottom of the return spring 20 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the dust collection trough 25. The active rack 19 is L-shaped, with one side of the lower end of the active rack 19 slidably connected to one side of the driven rack 21. One side of the upper end of the connecting rod 22 is slidably connected to one side of the upper end of the active rack 19. The upper end of the outer side of the ash storage trough 25 is rotatably connected to the transmission gear 24. By setting a sealing plate 23 on one side of the ash storage trough 25, and after the cam 9 separates from the overlapping plate 10, the cam 9 immediately pushes the lifting plate 18 to descend, thereby unfolding the sealing plate 23. This facilitates the sealing of the ash storage trough 25, preventing dust from re-entering the air and affecting the air filtration efficiency of the electric locomotive.

[0031] Working principle: When using this air filter for electric locomotives, firstly, the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 and the fan blades 3 promotes the air to enter the filter housing 1 and enters the electric locomotive through the air outlet 26. At this time, the fixed bevel gear 5 on one side of the rotating shaft 2 drives the transmission bevel gear 6 to rotate on one side of the positioning cylinder 7, and the transmission bevel gear 6 drives the sleeve bevel gear 8 to rotate at one end of the sleeve 4, thereby causing one end of the sleeve bevel gear 8 to drive the cam 9 to rotate.

[0032] Secondly, the cam 9 pushes the overlapping plate 10 and the support rod 14 to slide on the sliding rod 15 on one side of the mounting plate 17, thereby causing the filter plate 11 to retract toward the vibrating spring 16. When the cam 9 leaves the overlapping plate 10, the vibrating spring 16 pushes the filter plate 11 to reset, and the dust on the filter plate 11 falls along the dust guide port 12 onto the inside of the filter housing 1.

[0033] Finally, after the cam 9 separates from the overlapping plate 10, it then overlaps with the lifting plate 18, causing the lifting plate 18 to push the active rack 19 to descend. The return spring 20 contracts, and at this time, the active rack 19 drives the transmission gear 24 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission gear 24 to drive the driven rack 21 to rise. The connecting rod 22 at the top of the driven rack 21 drives the sealing plate 23 to rise in the ash storage trough 25, and cooperates with the scraper 13 to push the dust into the ash storage trough 25.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
