Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transport locomotive technology, and in particular to a hybrid drive locomotive. Background Technology

[0002] In coal mines, the transportation of personnel, materials, equipment, gangue, and other items besides coal transportation is collectively referred to as auxiliary transportation. Auxiliary transportation can be divided into two main types: rail transportation and trackless transportation. Trackless transportation typically uses rubber-tired or tracked vehicles as its running gear; however, its adaptability is clearly insufficient when facing roadways with steep inclines, making it difficult to meet the transportation needs under complex working conditions.

[0003] Existing wheel-driven locomotives in rail transport mainly rely on adhesive drive wheels for power, enabling efficient transport at relatively high speeds in flat roadways. However, this type of locomotive has extremely limited climbing ability and is only suitable for roadways with gentle slopes and minimal undulations. Once the terrain of the roadway changes significantly, it cannot operate normally, greatly limiting its application scenarios.

[0004] While rack-and-pinion locomotives effectively solve the transportation challenges of steep gradients, heavy loads, and undulating roadways, their reliance on dedicated rack tracks results in relatively slow operating speeds and high track laying costs. Especially in long-distance horizontal roadway transportation scenarios, users not only face significant upfront investment but also encounter bottlenecks in improving transportation efficiency. Neither rack-driven nor wheel-driven locomotives can fully meet the diverse transportation needs of underground coal mines, limiting the application range of rack-and-pinion or adhesive-wheel-driven locomotives and hindering the improvement of their overall performance.

[0053] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] This embodiment relates to a hybrid drive locomotive, which aims to improve the quality of transport locomotive use by optimizing its application range.

[0056] As shown in the figure, the hybrid drive transport locomotive in this embodiment includes a chassis 1, a power unit 2, a wheel drive mechanism 3, and a gear drive mechanism 4. The chassis 1 carries the power unit 2, the wheel drive mechanism 3, and the gear drive mechanism 4. When the hybrid drive locomotive travels on the track, the power unit 2 supplies power to the wheel drive mechanism 3, causing the wheel drive mechanism 3 to drive the hybrid drive locomotive on the track. When the hybrid drive locomotive travels on the geared track, the power unit 2 supplies power to the gear drive mechanism 4, causing the gear drive mechanism 4 to drive the hybrid drive locomotive on the geared track.

[0057] As configured above, the hybrid drive locomotive in this embodiment, by arranging a power unit 2 on the chassis 1, can drive the wheel drive mechanism 3 and the gear drive mechanism 4 to operate. The power unit 2 drives the wheel drive mechanism 3 to operate, which in turn drives the hybrid drive locomotive to run on the track. The power unit 2 drives the gear drive mechanism 4 to operate, which in turn drives the hybrid drive locomotive to run on the rack rail. The arrangement of the wheel drive mechanism 3 and the gear drive mechanism 4 allows the hybrid drive locomotive to run on both the track and the rack rail, making it easy to adapt to different track conditions. Moreover, operators can select the corresponding wheel drive mechanism 3 and gear drive mechanism 4 according to different track conditions, which is beneficial for the rapid operation of the hybrid drive locomotive in flat tunnels and its operation when climbing slopes, thus improving the scope of use of the hybrid drive locomotive and enhancing the quality of transport locomotive use.

[0058] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the track on which the wheel drive mechanism 3 travels refers to a track without a toothed rail, while a toothed rail refers to a track containing a toothed rail.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, as an exemplary structure, combined with Figures 1 to 7 The hybrid drive locomotive shown in this embodiment further includes a main driver's cab 5, an auxiliary vehicle 6, and a co-driver's cab 7. The chassis 1 of the hybrid drive locomotive in this embodiment includes a first frame 101, a second frame 102, a third frame 103, and a fourth frame 104 connected in sequence. The main driver's cab 5 is located on the first frame 101, the auxiliary vehicle 6 is located on the second frame 102, the power unit 2 and the wheel drive mechanism 3 are located on the third frame 103, the co-driver's cab 7 is located on the fourth frame 104, and the gear drive mechanism 4 is located on the first frame 101 and the fourth frame 104. This makes the chassis 1, including the first frame 101, the second frame 102, the third frame 103, and the fourth frame 104, convenient for the arrangement of the main driver's cab 5, the auxiliary vehicle 6, the co-driver's cab 7, the power unit 2, the wheel drive mechanism 3, and the gear drive mechanism 4, and the structure is simple and easy to design and implement.

[0060] In this embodiment, the main driver's cab 5, the auxiliary vehicle 6, and the co-driver's cab 7 are all set up with the structure that is used in the prior art.

[0061] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanisms involved in the auxiliary vehicle 6 in this embodiment can also be arranged on the same chassis as the main driver's cab 5 and the co-driver's cab 7, which can make it easier to eliminate the need for the auxiliary vehicle 6 and make better use of the overall vehicle space.

[0062] In this embodiment, in order to better arrange the wheel drive mechanism 3, as an exemplary structure, combined with Figures 1 to 7As shown, the wheel drive mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a first wheel drive unit 301 and a second wheel drive unit 302 sequentially arranged below the third frame 103 along the front-rear direction of the locomotive.

The second wheel drive unit 302 is driven by the power device 2 to run along the track and achieves rotation with first, second, and third degrees of freedom. It is worth mentioning that the first degree of freedom is rotational motion along the vehicle height direction, the second degree of freedom is rotational motion along the vehicle width direction, and the third degree of freedom is swinging motion along the vehicle width direction.

The rotation direction of the rotating shaft 30231 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the second main shaft 30222. The second main shaft 30222 can rotate around the rotating shaft 30231, and when the second main shaft 30222 rotates, the inner side wall of the annular limiting block 30233 slides along the outer groove wall of the annular limiting groove 30232. The second main shaft 30222 can rotate around the rotating shaft 30231 by means of the rotating shaft 30231 set on the second main shaft 30222, so as to realize the rotation of the third degree of freedom.

The gear drive brake unit 403 is mounted on the bracket to prevent the gear drive disk 402 from running along the gear track. The traveling wheel set 404 is mounted on the bracket and rolls along the top of the track when the hybrid drive mechanism is running. The third rail-clamping wheel set 405 can roll on the side of the track to constrain the gear drive mechanism 4 to the track. The bracket facilitates the installation of the gear drive unit 401, gear drive disc 402, traveling wheel set 404, and third rail-clamping wheel set 405. The gear drive unit 401 facilitates driving the gear drive disc 402 along the gear rail. The traveling wheel set 404 facilitates the locomotive's movement along the track in gear drive mode. The third rail-clamping wheel set 405 helps to restrain the locomotive on the track, preventing derailment and facilitating design implementation.

[0071] More specifically, the gear drive unit 401 in this embodiment includes a drive unit and a transmission unit that is driveably connected to the drive unit. The drive unit and the transmission unit are respectively located on both sides of the gear drive disk 402, and the transmission unit is driveably connected to the gear drive disk 402. By arranging the drive unit and the transmission unit on both sides of the gear drive disk 402, the arrangement of the gear drive unit 401 on the bracket is more compact, and it is convenient for the rotation of the gear drive disk 402, which is beneficial for design and implementation. In this embodiment, the drive unit may be, for example, a travel motor, and the transmission unit may be, for example, a planetary reducer.

[0072] In this embodiment, the power unit 2 may be an explosion-proof diesel engine, and the wheel drive mechanism 3 and the gear drive mechanism 4 are both connected to the power unit 2 for transmission, so as to drive the hybrid drive locomotive in this embodiment to run along the track under the drive of the power unit 2.

[0073] Furthermore, in order to assist the braking of the hybrid drive locomotive in this embodiment, combined with Figure 7 As shown, the hybrid drive locomotive in this embodiment also includes a sand-spreading mechanism 8 mounted on the third frame 103. The sand-spreading mechanism 8 is located in front of the first wheel drive mechanism 3 and the second wheel drive mechanism 3. The sand-spreading mechanism 8 includes a sand box 801 mounted on the third frame 103, a sand-spreading head 802 communicating with the sand box 801, and a control valve 803 located between the sand box 801 and the sand-spreading head 802. When the control valve 803 is opened, the sand in the sand box 801 is sprinkled onto the track via the sand-spreading head 802. The sand-spreading mechanism 8 facilitates auxiliary braking of the transport locomotive, the control valve 803 facilitates adjustment of the amount of sand spread, and the sand-spreading head 802 facilitates setting the sand-spreading position. The structure is simple and easy to design and implement.

[0074] The hybrid drive locomotive of this embodiment facilitates the selection of the appropriate drive mode based on the track conditions, thereby improving its rapid operation in level roadways and its operation when climbing slopes. This expands the locomotive's application range and enhances its overall performance. The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit its scope. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within its protection scope.
