Description

Unpowered return brake device of GOST standard locomotive and GOST standard locomotive Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of locomotives, and in particular to an unpowered return braking device of a GOST standard locomotive and a GOST standard locomotive. Background Art

[0002] The locomotive's braking system generates air pressure from the brake cylinder, which pushes the actuator on the locomotive bogie. Braking is achieved by venting the brake cylinder pressure to atmosphere. Chinese railway standards require that the brake cylinder output pressure for unpowered return locomotives be within the range of 200-250 kPa, and the braking and release times of the locomotives be consistent with those of domestic locomotives. Since the brake cylinder output pressure of locomotives using the GOST standard braking system is 380-400 kPa, the original brake cylinder pressure must be adjusted to the domestic specified range while also ensuring synchronization with the braking and release times of domestic locomotives.

[0003] In the prior art, the distribution valve module typically outputs the pre-control pipe pressure based on the pressure changes in the train pipe. The pre-control pipe then controls the brake cylinder relay valve to control the air source pressure of the main air duct according to the pre-control pipe pressure, thereby outputting the corresponding brake cylinder pressure. When the locomotive needs to relieve, the pre-control pipe pressure drops, and the output brake cylinder pressure is discharged to the atmosphere through the relay valve, thereby achieving relief. However, the pressure reducing valve of the prior art distribution valve module is installed at the output end of the brake cylinder relay valve. Both braking and relief of the locomotive must pass through the pressure reducing valve. If the pressure reducing valve fails, the locomotive will be unable to brake or relieve, and the brake cylinder shut-off valve installed in the original system will also lose its function. Furthermore, to meet the synchronization of the braking relief time with domestic locomotives, the GOST standard brake system needs to be set to a mode to match domestic locomotives. First, the passenger-freight transfer valve is set to passenger mode, second, the passenger distribution valve is adjusted to the short marshaling position, and third, the freight distribution valve is adjusted to plain mode. Therefore, the prior art suffers from poor reliability and cumbersome operation.

[0004] Based on this, the existing technology needs to be improved.

Accordingly, all such modifications should be included within the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the gist of the present invention, other replacements, modifications, variations, and deletions may be made to the design, operating conditions, and parameters of the following exemplary embodiments.

[0022] As shown in FIG1 , the present invention provides an unpowered return brake device for a GOST standard locomotive, comprising: a distribution valve module, the distribution valve module including a pressure reducing valve 4, the input end of the pressure reducing valve 4 being connected to a train pipe 7 of a GOST standard locomotive, and the output end of the pressure reducing valve 4 being connected to a pre-control pipe 8 of a GOST standard locomotive, for adjusting the output pressure of the train pipe 7 to form an input pressure of the pre-control pipe 8, and ensuring that the input pressure of the pre-control pipe 8 reaches within a preset value range.

[0023] The above technical solution of the present invention controls the pre-control pressure through the distribution valve module so that the final brake cylinder pressure meets the domestic requirements for unpowered return; by arranging the pressure reducing valve 4 before the pre-control pipe 8, it avoids the failure of the pressure reducing valve 4 to cause the brake of the unpowered return locomotive to not be relieved, resulting in delay of the entire train.

[0024] In the above device, as shown in FIG1 , the distribution valve module further includes an acting air cylinder 3 , which is connected to the output end of the train pipe 7 for adjusting the output pressure of the train pipe 7 .

[0032] The locomotive further includes an existing distribution valve module, and the existing distribution valve module is connected in parallel with the distribution valve module.

[0033] The above technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through the implementation process.

[0034] The working air cylinder 2, three-way valve 1, acting air cylinder 3, pressure reducing valve 4 and shut-off valve 5 are all plate-mounted and integrated on the air circuit board 6. The communication between the various components is achieved through the internal air circuit of the air circuit board 6. The air circuit board 6 is also provided with a train pipe 7 inlet and a pre-control pipe 8 outlet.

[0035] Three-way valve 1 is a three-pressure mechanism valve. The acting air cylinder 3 and the working air cylinder 2 are connected to the three-way valve 1.
