[0035] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application.

It is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0038] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0040] As one of the important means of transportation in the transportation system, trains play a very important role. The speed of the braking force output of the train's braking system is closely related to the braking needs of the train, and will also affect the operation of the train. Generally speaking, a conversion device will be added to the braking system to adjust the braking force output of the braking system.

[0041] For example, in a long, slow freight train, the braking wave takes a long time to transmit from the front car to the rear car. Generally, a slow braking force output is required to ensure that the front, middle, and rear cars of the train are all subjected to varying degrees of braking force, effectively reducing the train's longitudinal impulse. If the braking system outputs too quickly, the front car of the train will apply braking force before the rear car has applied it. This can cause a large longitudinal impulse of the train, and in severe cases, can lead to derailment.

[0042] For express trains with short formations and high speeds, the time required for the braking wave to be transmitted from the front vehicle to the rear vehicle is short, and the braking force output is generally required to be fast. This ensures that the train brakes quickly, makes the braking actions of the front and rear vehicles of the train consistent, effectively reduces the longitudinal impulse of the train, and greatly shortens the idling distance of the train, freeing up effective braking distance space to ensure the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0043] When express trains are empty and heading to other destinations to load cargo, they are usually mixed with long trains. In this way, the problem of inconsistent braking force output will become prominent. When the number of express trains is large, it will seriously affect the operation of the train. Therefore, it is necessary to add a conversion device to the braking system to adjust the braking force output of the braking system.

[0044] At this time, in the prior art, the structure of the conversion device of the braking system of the train system is relatively complex.

[0045] In view of this, the conversion device, braking system and train provided in the embodiments of the present application can at least solve this problem.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. This embodiment provides a conversion device 1000, a braking system, and a train, which will be described in detail below.

[0047] An embodiment of the present application provides a train (not shown), which may include a vehicle body (not shown) and a braking system (not shown), which may be mounted on the vehicle body. The braking system may include a conversion device 1000. In the braking system, an airflow Cv needs to be input to the conversion device 1000. The conversion device 1000 can change the output flow rate of the airflow Cv, thereby controlling the speed of power output. When the airflow Cv output by the conversion device 1000 is slow, the braking output force of the braking system is small. When the airflow Cv output by the conversion device 1000 is fast, the braking output force of the braking system is large.

[0048] Among them, the conversion device 1000 may include a valve body 100, a valve cover 200 and a first shrinkage part 300. The valve body 100 may be provided with a valve body air inlet path 110, a first valve body air outlet path 120 and a valve body passage 130. The valve cover 200 can be rotatably installed on the valve body 100. It can be understood that the valve cover 200 is rotatably installed on the valve body 100, which can reduce the usage space and be more compact and simple. Of course, in other embodiments, a protective cover can also be installed on the outside of the valve cover 200 to avoid improper operation by personnel.

[0049] The valve bonnet 200 may be provided with a first valve bonnet passage 210, a second valve bonnet passage 220, and a third valve bonnet passage 230. In this embodiment, the structure of the first valve bonnet passage 210 and the second valve bonnet passage 220 may be identical. A first shrinkage member 300 may be provided at the first port 221 of the second valve bonnet passage 220. The valve bonnet 200 may be rotatable relative to the valve body 100 to switch between a first installation position and a second installation position. This rotational switching between the first and second installation positions is also very convenient. Specifically, the second installation position may be achieved by rotating the valve bonnet 200 180 degrees clockwise or 180 degrees counterclockwise relative to the valve body 100 in the first installation position.

[0050] When the valve cover 200 is in the first installation position, the valve body air inlet path 110, the first valve cover passage 210, the valve body passage 130, the second valve cover passage 220 and the first valve body air outlet path 120 can be connected in sequence, the first port 221 of the second valve cover passage 220 and the air outlet end of the valve body passage 130 can be connected, the second port 222 of the second valve cover passage 220 and the air inlet end of the first valve body air outlet path 120 can be connected, the first shrinkage component 300 can be used to slow down the gas in the valve body passage 130 entering the second valve cover passage 220, and the two ports of the third valve cover passage 230 can be used to be blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100. At this time, the first shrinkage component 300 is also in the gas flow path, slowing down the speed of the air flow Cv.

[0051] When the valve cover 200 is in the second installation position, the valve body air inlet passage 110, the third valve cover passage 230, the valve body passage 130, the second valve cover passage 220, and the first valve body air outlet passage can be sequentially connected. The first port 221 of the second valve cover passage 220 can be blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100, and the second port 222 of the second valve cover passage 220 can be connected to the air outlet end of the valve body passage 130 and the air inlet end of the first valve body air outlet passage 120. Both ports of the first valve cover passage 210 can be blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100. At this time, because the first port 221 of the second valve cover passage 220 is blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100, the first pore shrinkage member 300 is no longer in the gas flow path, and the air flow Cv speed is accelerated, that is, the first pore shrinkage member 300 is also blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100. It should be noted that the first pore shrinkage member 300 can be integrally formed with the valve cover 200.

[0052] In this embodiment, the air inlet direction of the valve body 100 and the air outlet direction of the valve body 100 may form an angle. Specifically, the air inlet direction of the valve body 100 and the air outlet direction of the valve body 100 may be perpendicular to each other.

[0053] Among them, a second valve body air outlet path 140 can be provided on the valve body 100, and the air inlet end of the second valve body air outlet path 140 and the valve body passage 130 can be connected. It can be understood that at this time, the air flow Cv can flow out from the first valve body air outlet path 120 and the second valve body air outlet path 140 at the same time.

[0054] The air inlet end of the first valve body air outlet path 120 can be provided with a second shrinkage component 400, and the second shrinkage component 400 can be used to slow down the gas in the second port 222 of the second valve cover passage 220 from entering the first valve body air outlet path 120. It can be understood that the second shrinkage component 400 can be integrally formed with the valve body 100. At this time, in the first installation position, the air flow Cv in the conversion device 1000 can pass through the first shrinkage component 300 and the second shrinkage component 400 and then flow out from the air outlet end of the first valve body air outlet path 120.

[0055] The outer wall of the second shrinkage component 400 and the inner wall of the air inlet end of the first valve body air outlet path 120 can be fitted together, and the inner wall of the second shrinkage component 400 can define a second flow limiting channel 410, and the second flow limiting channel 410 can be used to slow down the gas in the second port 222 of the second valve cover passage 220 from entering the first valve body air outlet path 120, the outer wall of the first shrinkage component 300 and the inner wall of the first port 221 can be fitted together, and the inner wall of the first shrinkage component 300 can define a first flow limiting channel 310, and the first flow limiting channel 310 can be used to slow down the gas in the valve body passage 130 from entering the second valve cover passage 220.

[0056] Among them, the second port 222 of the second valve cover passage 220 can be a cavity structure. It can be understood that when the airflow Cv enters the second valve cover passage 220 and then enters the second port 222, the resistance of the airflow Cv will change. Specifically, the resistance of the airflow Cv can be reduced.

[0057] The conversion device 1000 may include a valve body 100, a valve cover 200 and a first shrinkage part 300. The valve body 100 may be provided with a valve body air inlet 110, a first valve body air outlet 120 and a valve body passage 130; the valve cover 200 may be rotatably mounted on the valve body 100. The valve cover 200 is rotatably mounted on the valve body 100, which can reduce the usage space and is more compact and simple.

[0058] Among them, the valve cover 200 can be provided with a first valve cover passage 210, a second valve cover passage 220 and a third valve cover passage 230; the first shrinkage member 300 can be provided at the first port 221 of the second valve cover passage 220; the valve cover 200 can be used to be rotatable relative to the valve body 100 to switch between the first installation position and the second installation position, and it is very convenient to switch between the first installation position and the second installation position by rotation.

[0059] When the valve cover 200 is in the first installation position, the valve body air inlet path 110, the first valve cover passage 210, the valve body passage 130, the second valve cover passage 220 and the first valve body air outlet path 120 can be connected in sequence, the first port 221 of the second valve cover passage 220 and the air outlet end of the valve body passage 130 can be connected, and the second port 222 of the second valve cover passage 220 and the air inlet end of the first valve body air outlet path 120 can be connected; the first shrinkage component 300 can be used to slow down the gas in the valve body passage 130 entering the second valve cover passage 220, and the two ports of the third valve cover passage 230 can be used to be blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100. At this time, the first shrinkage component 300 is also in the gas flow path, slowing down the speed of the airflow Cv.

[0060] When the valve cover 200 is in the second installation position, the valve body air inlet passage 110, the third valve cover passage 230, the valve body passage 130, the second valve cover passage 220, and the first valve body air outlet passage 120 can be connected in sequence. The first port 221 of the second valve cover passage 220 can be blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100. The second port 222 of the second valve cover passage 220 can be connected to the air outlet end of the valve body passage 130 and the air inlet end of the first valve body air outlet passage 120. Both ports of the first valve cover passage 210 can be blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100. At this time, since the first port 221 of the second valve cover passage 220 is blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100, the first cavity shrinking member 300 is also blocked by the side wall of the valve body 100, and the flow of the airflow Cv is not hindered, and the speed of the airflow Cv is accelerated.

[0061] The brake system may include the above-mentioned conversion device 1000, which can make the structure compact and simple.

[0062] The train may include a vehicle body and the above-mentioned braking system, and the braking system may be installed on the vehicle body, which can make the structure compact and simple.

[0063] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims. Industrial Applicability
