[0011] Furthermore, a first locking washer is fitted on the outer wall of the first hexagonal head bolt, and the bottom end of the first locking washer contacts the top surface of the insulating seat.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the elastic deformation generates anti-loosening friction force, which prevents the bolts from loosening due to the vibration of the EMU operation, ensures the connection stability between the carbon brush support frame and the grounding cover, and avoids the grounding device from affecting the conductivity due to structural loosening.

[0013] Furthermore, the top surface of the grounding cover is threaded with a second hexagonal head bolt, and the outer wall of the second hexagonal head bolt is respectively fitted with a flat washer and an elastic locking washer, with the flat washer located at the bottom of the elastic locking washer.

[0015] Furthermore, the top surface of the grounding cover is threaded with a third hexagonal head bolt, and the grounding cover is connected to a cable clamp via the third hexagonal head bolt.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the cable clamp can fix the grounding cable, prevent the cable from falling off or being worn due to vibration, and ensure the integrity of the grounding circuit.

[0017] Furthermore, the middle position of the cable clamp is designed as a protrusion.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are that the raised design increases the contact pressure with the cable, improves the clamping stability, prevents the cable from shaking during the operation of the EMU, and the raised structure can adapt to changes in the outer diameter of the cable, enhancing the adaptability to cables of different specifications.

[0019] Furthermore, a second locking washer is fitted on the outer wall of the third hexagonal head bolt, and the bottom surface of the second locking washer contacts the top surface of the cable clamp.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the anti-loosening design prevents the bolts from loosening due to vibration, ensures the stability of the clamping force of the cable clamp on the cable, and avoids conductive faults caused by poor contact of the grounding cable.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This novel hydrogen-powered intercity EMU bogie grounding device, through the combined use of a constant force spring, a carbon brush support frame, and a grounding cover, enables the grounding device to be protected from the influence of a humid environment while reducing wear. The grounding cover protects the carbon brushes and constant force springs inside the carbon brush frame from water and foreign objects.

[0029] 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.

[0030] As an embodiment of this utility model, the bottom surface of the grounding cover 8 is connected to an "O" ring 4, and the top surface of the carbon brush support frame 3 is provided with an annular groove that matches the "O" ring 4. The "O" ring 4 on the bottom surface of the grounding cover 8 matches the annular groove on the top surface of the carbon brush support frame 3 to form a sealing structure, which effectively prevents dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the device and avoids the carbon brush 1 from losing conductivity due to contamination.

[0031] As an embodiment of this utility model, an insulating seat 6 is further inserted between the carbon brush support frame 3 and the grounding cover 8. The first hexagonal head bolt 5 is inserted inside the insulating seat 6. The insulating seat 6 isolates the first hexagonal head bolt 5 from the metal parts to prevent the bolt from conducting electricity and causing interference to the grounding circuit, ensuring accurate grounding path. At the same time, the insulating seat enhances the insulation performance of the structure, adapts to the high-voltage electrical environment of hydrogen-powered EMU, and improves the safety of use.

[0032] As an embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the first hexagonal head bolt 5 is fitted with a first locking washer 7. The bottom end of the first locking washer 7 contacts the top surface of the insulating seat 6. Through elastic deformation, an anti-loosening friction force is generated to prevent the bolt from loosening due to the vibration of the train operation, ensuring the connection stability between the carbon brush support frame 3 and the grounding cover 8, and avoiding the grounding device from affecting the conductivity due to structural loosening.

[0033] As an embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the grounding cover 8 is threaded with a second hexagonal head bolt 11. The outer wall of the second hexagonal head bolt 11 is respectively fitted with a flat washer 9 and an elastic locking washer 10. The flat washer 9 is located at the bottom of the elastic locking washer 10. The flat washer 9 increases the force-bearing area to protect the surface of the grounding cover. The elastic locking washer 10 provides continuous elastic pressure to prevent the bolt from loosening, ensuring that the grounding cover and the bogie are firmly installed and adapting to the high-frequency vibration conditions of the EMU.

[0034] As an embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the grounding cover 8 is further threaded with a third hexagonal head bolt 13, and the grounding cover 8 is connected to a cable clamp 14 through the third hexagonal head bolt 13. The cable clamp 14 can fix the grounding cable to prevent the cable from falling off or being worn due to vibration, and ensure the integrity of the grounding circuit.

[0035] As an embodiment of this utility model, the middle position of the cable clamp 14 is further provided as a protrusion. The protrusion design increases the contact pressure with the cable, improves the clamping stability, and prevents the cable from shaking during the operation of the EMU. At the same time, the protrusion structure can adapt to changes in the outer diameter of the cable, enhancing the adaptability to cables of different specifications.

[0036] As an embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the third hexagonal head bolt 13 is fitted with a second locking washer 12. The bottom surface of the second locking washer 12 contacts the top surface of the cable clamp 14. The anti-loosening design prevents the bolt from loosening due to vibration, ensures that the clamping force of the cable clamp 14 on the cable is stable, and avoids conductive faults caused by poor contact of the grounding cable.

[0037] Specifically, the working principle of this new type of hydrogen-powered intercity EMU bogie grounding device is as follows: During use, the carbon brush 1 is installed on the carbon brush support frame 3 as a conductive wear element. The carbon brush support frame 3 is connected to the grounding cover 8 via a first hexagonal head bolt 5. The "O" ring 4 on the bottom surface of the grounding cover 8 is embedded in the annular groove on the top surface of the carbon brush support frame to form a seal, protecting the internal carbon brush and constant force spring 2 from water and external objects. The constant force spring 2 is fixed inside the carbon brush support frame via a bayonet, and its elasticity ensures that one end of the carbon brush fits tightly against the friction disc, guaranteeing continuous conductivity. The insulating seat 6 between the carbon brush support frame and the grounding cover isolates the first hexagonal head bolt 5 to prevent conductive interference, and the first locking washer 7 prevents the bolt from loosening. The second hexagonal head bolt 11 on the top surface of the grounding cover, together with the flat washer 9 and the elastic locking washer 10, is securely installed on the bogie. The third hexagonal head bolt 13, through the second locking washer 12, fixes the cable clamp 14 with a protrusion, ensuring stable clamping of the grounding cable. The bogie is reliably grounded through a combination of sealed protection, elastic conductivity, insulation isolation, and anti-loosening fixation.
