Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of locomotive air distribution valve technology, and in particular to an overcharge prevention device for railway locomotive air distribution valve. Background Technology
[0002] When Chinese locomotives equipped with Chinese-made air distribution valves are coupled with locomotives from Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries, abnormal situations frequently occur due to the different train pipe pressure variations between EEA EU locomotives and Chinese locomotives. These abnormal situations include a rapid rise in train pipe pressure exceeding the specified pressure, followed by a rapid drop, exceeding the rated operating conditions of the Chinese locomotive's air distribution valve. This rapid drop in train pipe pressure can cause abnormal braking of the Chinese locomotive's air distribution valve. This problem urgently needs to be solved; otherwise, it will be inconvenient for locomotives exported from my country to Eurasian Economic Union countries to be coupled with locomotives from those countries. Therefore, it is necessary to design an overcharge protection device for railway locomotive air distribution valves that will not affect the abnormal braking of the distribution valve when abnormalities occur in the train pipe of external locomotives, thus ensuring the stability of the distribution valve's operation. This is to solve the abnormal braking phenomenon that occurs when Chinese locomotives are coupled with locomotives from these countries when exported to Eurasian Economic Union countries. Utility Model Content

The spring support guides and supports the compression spring.
[0007] According to the aforementioned overcharge prevention device for an air distribution valve in a railway locomotive, the overcharge prevention strut is a hollow annular shape, and a threaded mounting portion is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the overcharge prevention strut.

[0009] According to the aforementioned overcharge prevention device for an air distribution valve in a railway locomotive, the thickness of the annular sealing ring is greater than the height of the channel. The annular sealing ring can seal the channel, thereby cutting off the passage.
[0010] According to the aforementioned overcharge prevention device for an air distribution valve in a railway locomotive, the size of the valve stem is adapted to the size of the inner wall of the valve sleeve, and the valve stem is slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve sleeve.

One end of the compression spring abuts against the inner bottom wall of the abutment portion, and the compression spring is movably connected within the cavity.

[0029] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Reference Figures 1-7An overcharge prevention device for an air distribution valve in a railway locomotive includes an overcharge prevention valve body 1. The overcharge prevention valve body 1 has an overcharge prevention valve cover 2, a chamber 3 inside the cover 2, an intermediate body 4 inside the body 1, and train pipe passages 5, 6, and 8 inside the body 1. An overcharge prevention assembly 7 is also provided inside the body 1. The assembly 7 consists of an overcharge prevention strut 71 movably connected to the inner wall of the chamber 3, a valve stem 72 installed on the inner wall of the strut 71, an annular sealing ring 73 on the outer surface of the valve stem 72, a valve sleeve 74 on the outer surface of the valve stem 72, a compression spring 75 above the strut 71, a spring support 76, and a pressure adjusting screw 77.
[0032] In this embodiment, the overcharge protection component 7 can cut off and open the passage between the locomotive train pipe and the distribution valve train pipe by raising and lowering the overcharge protection lever 71 and the valve stem 72. This avoids the distribution valve from being affected when the pressure of the external train pipe is abnormal, thereby solving the problem of the distribution valve's operation caused by abnormal pressure changes in the external locomotive train pipe, thus improving the safety of the distribution valve and effectively enhancing the practicality and convenience of the device.
[0033] Specifically, train pipe passage 1 5 and train pipe passage 2 6 are connected to the external locomotive train pipe, and train pipe passage 3 8 is connected to the external distribution valve train pipe.
[0034] In this embodiment, the external locomotive train pipe is installed in train pipe passage 1 5, and the external distribution valve train pipe is installed in train pipe passage 3 8, thereby achieving the purpose of opening and closing the passage between the distribution valve and the locomotive through pressure control.
[0035] Specifically, the spring support 76 is inverted convex, and a protrusion 9 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the spring support 76. The inner diameter of the compression spring 75 is adapted to the inner diameter of the spring support 76, and the compression spring 75 and the spring support 76 are movably connected.
[0036] In this embodiment, the spring support 76 can guide and support the compression spring 75, so that the pressure adjusting screw 77 can deform the compression spring 75 through the spring support 76.
[0037] Specifically, the overcharge protection lever 71 is a hollow ring, and a threaded mounting part 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the overcharge protection lever 71. One end of the valve stem 72 is threaded to the inner wall of the threaded mounting part 10, and the overcharge protection lever 71 and the valve stem 72 are detachable.
[0038] In this embodiment, it is convenient to install the valve stem 72 in the overcharge protection brace 71 so that both can move simultaneously.
[0039] Specifically, a channel 11 is provided on the outer surface of the intermediate body 4, and the thickness of the annular sealing ring 73 is greater than the height of the channel 11.
[0040] In this embodiment, the annular sealing ring 73 can close the channel 11, thereby cutting off the passage between the external locomotive train pipe and the distribution valve train pipe, so that the distribution valve can remain stable and not be affected by the pressure of the external locomotive train pipe.
[0041] Specifically, the size of the valve stem 72 is adapted to the size of the inner wall of the valve sleeve 74, and the valve stem 72 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve sleeve 74.
[0042] In this embodiment, the valve stem 72 can slide on the inner wall of the valve sleeve 74, and the valve sleeve 74 supports the valve stem 72 to prevent the valve stem 72 from shifting its position when moving up and down, thereby the valve sleeve 74 plays a guiding role.
[0043] Specifically, the upper surface of the overcharge protection lever 71 is provided with an abutment portion 12, one end of the compression spring 75 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the abutment portion 12, and the compression spring 75 is movably connected in the chamber 3.
[0044] In this embodiment, when the overcharge protection strut 71 moves up and down, the abutment part 12 causes the compression spring 75 to deform. When the overcharge protection strut 71 moves upward, the abutment part 12 will press the compression spring 75 upward to deform it. When the overcharge protection strut 71 moves downward, the compression spring 75 will rebound downward and deform. The other end of the compression spring 75 is abutted by the spring support 76, and the position of the spring support 76 is abutted by the pressure adjusting screw 77. Thus, the position where the compression spring 75 deforms is between the overcharge protection strut 71 and the pressure adjusting screw 77.
[0045] Specifically, an overcharge protection valve cover 2 has a through hole 13 in the middle of its upper surface. An adjusting member 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the overcharge protection valve cover 2. A pressure adjusting screw 77 is threadedly connected to the adjusting member 14. The pressure adjusting screw 77 passes through the through hole 13 and the adjusting member 14 and abuts against the protrusion 9. The overcharge protection valve body 1 and the overcharge protection valve cover 2 are connected by bolts.
[0046] In this embodiment, when pressure adjustment is required, rotating the pressure adjusting screw 77 in the forward direction causes it to move upward a certain distance on the inner wall of the adjusting member 14 and the inner wall of the through hole 13. Conversely, rotating the pressure adjusting screw 77 in the reverse direction causes it to move downward a certain distance on the inner wall of the adjusting member 14 and the inner wall of the through hole 13, thereby compressing the spring 75 and causing it to deform (the spring 75 rebounds upward or compresses downward a certain distance), thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the working pressure of the device. The adjustment is convenient, thereby fulfilling the requirement of adjusting the specified pressure, improving the applicability of the device, and facilitating the installation of the overcharge protection valve cover 2 and the overcharge protection valve body 1, achieving the purpose of convenient installation and disassembly.
[0047] Working principle: The overcharge prevention valve body 1 is installed at the interface between the distribution valve and the external locomotive pipeline. The external locomotive train pipe and the external distribution valve train pipe are connected to train pipe passage 1 5 and train pipe passage 3 8, respectively. Train pipe passage 1 5 and train pipe passage 2 6 divide the pressure of the external locomotive train pipe in two, so that part of the pressure of the external locomotive train pipe is led to the underside of the overcharge prevention valve 71 through train pipe passage 1 5, and part of the pressure is introduced into the valve stem 72 through the channel 11 opened in the intermediate body 4. Thus, the flow between the locomotive and the distribution valve is realized through train pipe passage 2 6 and train pipe passage 3 8. When it is necessary to cut off the passage between the distribution valve train pipe and the locomotive train pipe by using the train pipe passage connection method, when the pressure of the external locomotive train pipe reaches the set pressure... When pressure is applied, it is transmitted to the overcharge protection strut 71 through the train pipe passage 15. The pressure pushes the overcharge protection strut 71 and valve stem 72 upward, compressing the compression spring 75. When the valve stem 72 moves upward, it closes the channel 11 on one side of the train pipe passage 26 through multiple annular sealing rings 73 on its outside, thereby cutting off the passage between the locomotive train pipe connected to the train pipe passage 26 and the distribution valve train pipe connected to the train pipe passage 38. When the pressure of the external train pipe in the train pipe passage 15 is lower than the set pressure, the compression spring 75 rebounds and drives the overcharge protection strut 71 and valve stem 72 to descend, thereby opening the passage 11 between the locomotive train pipe and the distribution valve train pipe. The distribution valve resumes normal operation, thus effectively improving the safety of the distribution valve.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, the distinguishing feature of this embodiment from that of embodiment 1 is that it also includes an overcharge protection valve body 2 15. The overcharge protection valve body 2 15 has a working air cylinder passage 16 and a working air cylinder passage 2 17 inside. The working air cylinder passage 16 and the working air cylinder passage 2 17 are respectively connected to the external locomotive working air cylinder connecting pipe and the external distribution valve working air cylinder connecting pipe.
[0050] In practical use, the entire overcharge protection device is identical in structure and working principle, except for the different internal passage designs of overcharge protection valve body 2 (15) and overcharge protection valve body 1 (1). Overcharge protection valve body 2 (15) provides an alternative method for switching on and off between the locomotive and the distribution valve: using a working air cylinder. When it is necessary to cut off the passage between the distribution valve and the locomotive using the working air cylinder passage, the external locomotive train pipe is installed in train pipe passage 1 (5). The locomotive working air cylinder connecting pipe and the distribution valve working air cylinder connecting pipe are respectively connected to working air cylinder passage 1 (16) and working air cylinder passage 2 (17). Thus, the flow between the locomotive and the distribution valve is achieved through working air cylinder passage 1 (16), working air cylinder passage 2 (17), and passage 11. When the external locomotive train... When the pipe pressure reaches the set pressure, the pressure is transmitted through the train pipe passage 5, and the pressure pushes the overcharge protection strut 71 and valve stem 72 upward, squeezing the compression spring 75. When the valve stem 72 moves upward, it closes the channel 11 on one side of the working air cylinder passage 16 through multiple annular sealing rings 73, thereby cutting off the passage between the locomotive and the distribution valve. When the pressure of the external locomotive train pipe in the train pipe passage 5 is lower than the set pressure, the compression spring 75 rebounds and drives the overcharge protection strut 71 and valve stem 72 downward, thereby opening the channel 11 and restoring the distribution valve to normal operation. This effectively improves the safety of the distribution valve, and different cut-off methods can be selected according to actual needs, effectively improving the practicality and applicability of the device.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
