Description

Rail vehicle traction power supply system and rail vehicle

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application number 2024101539662, filed with the Patent Office of China on February 2, 2024, entitled “A Rail Vehicle Traction Power Supply System and Rail Vehicle,” the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of rail vehicles, and in particular to a rail vehicle traction power supply system and a rail vehicle. Background Art

[0004] The proper layout and placement of various rail vehicle equipment, such as traction transformers, converters, and motors, is crucial to the stability, reliability, and safety of rail vehicle operation. Improper equipment placement can lead to variations in vehicle load and center of gravity, causing vibration during high-speed operation, complicating wiring of electrical equipment, and cumbersome plumbing installation. Therefore, research is needed to develop a scientifically sound layout and placement plan for rail vehicle internal equipment to ensure safe and stable operation.

[0005] Currently, the traction equipment of rail vehicles is heavy. To achieve balanced axle loads, it is not possible to distribute the traction transformer, main traction converter, and traction motor within the same car. Rail vehicles typically place the traction transformer and traction converter on the motor vehicle and trailer respectively. For example, four cars are typically organized into a marshaling unit, consisting of two motor vehicles and two unpowered trailer cars. Two adjacent motor vehicles are separated by a trailer car. Three consecutive cars in the marshaling unit share a power supply system, while the remaining unpowered trailer car (T) does not. This arrangement results in poor system power redundancy and the inability to share high-voltage components, traction transformers, and traction converters, hindering flexible vehicle marshaling. Furthermore, since the traction transformer is generally much lighter than the combined weight of the traction converter and traction motor, rail vehicles still experience unbalanced axle loads.

The term "about" in this application is meant to include slight variations (up to + / - 10%) from the stated value.

[0028] Currently, the traction equipment on rail vehicles is quite heavy. To achieve balanced axle loads, it is not possible to distribute the traction transformer, traction converter, traction motor, and gearbox all within the same car. The proper layout and placement of various equipment on rail vehicles is crucial to the stability, reliability, and safety of rail vehicle operation. Improper layout and placement can lead to variations in vehicle load and center of gravity, causing vibration during high-speed operation, complicating wiring of electrical equipment, and piping of sanitary facilities. Therefore, research is needed to develop a scientific and rational layout and placement scheme for rail vehicle internal equipment to ensure safe and stable operation.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, a rail vehicle traction power supply system is provided, including a first pantograph, a second pantograph, a first high-voltage box, a second high-voltage box, a first traction transformer, a second traction transformer, a first main traction converter, a second main traction converter, a first traction auxiliary converter, a second traction auxiliary converter and a traction motor, wherein the first traction transformer, the first traction auxiliary converter and the two traction motors are located in a first carriage; the first pantograph, the first high-voltage box, the first main traction converter and the four traction motors are located in a second carriage; the second pantograph, the second high-voltage box, the second main traction converter and the four traction motors are located in a third carriage; the second traction transformer, the second traction auxiliary converter and the two traction motors are located in a fourth carriage; the first carriage, the second carriage, the third carriage and the fourth carriage are adjacent in sequence.

At the same time, all trains are EMUs, the lead car is a semi-EMU, and the middle car is a full-EMU. The power redundancy is high, which solves the problems of uneven weight distribution of rail vehicles and poor redundancy of traction systems in the prior art, achieves weight balance, and improves the redundancy of the traction system and the flexibility of the formation.

It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Currently, the traction equipment of rail vehicles is relatively heavy. For example, the traction transformer generally weighs between 1000kg and 5000kg, the main traction converter weighs about 1900kg, the auxiliary converter weighs about 800kg, each battery weighs about 100kg, and each traction motor weighs about 650kg. The unreasonable arrangement and placement of various traction equipment on rail trains will cause differences in the vehicle's load-bearing capacity and center of gravity position, leading to vibration during high-speed operation of the train, making it difficult to connect electrical equipment and to install piping for sanitary equipment.

[0035] The present application provides a vehicle traction power supply system, which designs the layout of the traction transformer, traction converter, auxiliary converter, battery and traction motor to solve the problems of uneven weight distribution of rail vehicles and poor redundancy of the traction system in the existing technology, achieves weight balance in the layout, and improves the redundancy of the traction system and the flexibility of the formation.

[0036] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the layout structure of a vehicle traction power supply system, which includes a first car 1, a second car 2, a third car 3, and a fourth car 4, each adjacent to each other. Each car is connected by a coupler, and the four cars form a train. A rail vehicle traction power supply system in this application includes a first pantograph 5, a second pantograph 6, a first high-voltage box 7, a second high-voltage box 8, a first traction transformer 9, a second traction transformer 10, a first main traction converter 11, a second main traction converter 12, a first auxiliary traction converter 13, a second auxiliary traction converter 14, and a plurality of traction motors 15 distributed across each car. As shown in Figure 1, the first car 1 and the fourth car 4 are semi-powered cars, each including two traction motors. The second car 2 and the third car 3 are fully powered cars, each including four traction motors. The first traction transformer 9, the first auxiliary traction converter 13, and the two traction motors 15 are located in the first car 1. The first pantograph 5, first high-voltage box 7, first main traction converter 11, and four traction motors 15 are located in the second car. The second pantograph 6, second high-voltage box 8, second main traction converter 12, and four traction motors 15 are located in the third car. The second traction transformer 10, second auxiliary traction converter 14, and two traction motors 15 are located in the fourth car.

[0037] The present application discloses a rail vehicle traction power supply system that utilizes a frame-controlled mode. The two lead cars, the first car 1 and the fourth car, are equipped with traction auxiliary converters and traction transformers. Specifically, the first car 1 is equipped with a first traction transformer 9 and a first traction auxiliary converter 13, while the fourth car 4 is equipped with a second traction transformer 10 and a second traction auxiliary converter 14. The traction auxiliary converters are single traction converters. As shown in Figure 1 , the lead cars, namely the first car 1 and the fourth car, are each equipped with an air compressor 16 and two traction motors 15. The two middle cars, namely the second car 2 and the third car 3, are equipped with main traction converters. For example, the second car 2 is equipped with a first main traction converter 11, and the third car 3 is equipped with a second main traction converter 12. The main traction converters utilize fully redundant dual four-quadrant traction-auxiliary-charge integrated converters. As shown in Figure 1 , the middle cars, namely the second car 2 and the third car 3, are each equipped with a battery 17, an air compressor 16, and four traction motors 15. The layout of the traction power supply system in this application makes the weight of the whole vehicle evenly distributed, the axle weight difference is small, and the design is more reasonable.

[0038] In this application, the AC25kV high-voltage alternating current of the power grid is input into the high-voltage box through the pantograph and cable in the traction power supply system of the rail vehicle. The high-voltage box, i.e., the high-voltage electrical box, is the front-stage component of the circuit of the train vehicle electrical traction system, and realizes the circuit on-off and protection functions of the traction system. The traction transformer is connected to the high-voltage box. The traction transformer reduces the AC25kV high-voltage alternating current into AC1500V alternating current. The AC power supply is transformed by the traction transformer and then output to the main traction converter and the traction auxiliary converter for power supply. The main traction converter and the traction auxiliary converter convert the AC1500V alternating current into direct current through the internal AC-DC module, and then convert it into three-phase alternating current with controllable voltage and frequency through the internal inverter module, and transmit it to the AC traction motor (i.e., three-phase asynchronous motor), which pulls the entire train through the rotation of the motor.

[0039] The traction converter is one of the key components of a train. It generally includes a pulse rectifier power unit, an inverter power unit, a filter unit, and a cooling unit. It first rectifies the single-phase AC power from the traction transformer into DC power, and then inverts the DC power into three-phase AC power with variable frequency. It realizes the starting, braking, and speed control of the AC traction motor through voltage and frequency regulation. When the train is in traction mode, the traction converter converts the single-phase AC power on the secondary winding of the traction transformer into the variable voltage and frequency three-phase power required to drive the traction motor; during braking mode, the traction motor is in power generation mode, and the traction converter feeds the electric energy generated by the motor back to the power grid. The converters in this application are all conventional existing equipment. The traction auxiliary converter mainly converts the AC1500V AC power on the secondary side of the traction transformer into three-phase AC power with adjustable voltage and frequency and 400VAC, 50Hz power supply to power the traction motor and train auxiliary systems. The auxiliary traction converter uses a single traction converter, consisting of two four-quadrant modules, an intermediate DC circuit, a brake chopper, two traction inverter modules, and one auxiliary module. The auxiliary module provides power, such as three-phase AC380V, for the trainset's auxiliary systems. The main traction converter uses a fully redundant dual four-quadrant traction-auxiliary-charging integrated converter, consisting of two dual four-quadrant rectifier modules, two dual main inverter modules, one auxiliary module, and one charging module. The charging module provides DC110V for charging the batteries.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2, the first high-voltage box 7 includes a first high-voltage first input terminal 21, a first high-voltage first output terminal 22, and a first high-voltage second connection terminal 23. The first high-voltage first input terminal 21 is connected to the first pantograph 5 via a cable. The first high-voltage first output terminal 22 is connected to the input terminal of the first traction transformer 9. The output terminal of the first traction transformer 9 is respectively connected to the input terminal of the first main traction converter 11 and the input terminal of the first auxiliary traction converter 13. The output terminal of the first main traction converter 11 is connected to the four traction motors 15, and the output terminal of the first auxiliary traction converter 13 is connected to the two traction motors 15. The second high-voltage box 8 includes a second high-voltage first input terminal 24, a second high-voltage first output terminal 25, and a second high-voltage second connection terminal 26. The second high-voltage first input terminal 24 is connected to the second pantograph 6 via a cable. The second high-voltage first output terminal 25 is connected to the input terminal of the second traction transformer 10. The output terminal of the second traction transformer 10 is respectively connected to the input terminal of the second main traction converter 12 and the input terminal of the second auxiliary traction converter 14. The output terminal of the second main traction converter 12 is connected to the four traction motors 15, and the output terminal of the second auxiliary traction converter 14 is connected to the two traction motors 15.

In this application, grounding refers to connecting rails. Furthermore, the output terminal of the current transformer 72 is connected to one end of the primary coil of the voltage transformer 73, and the other end of the primary coil is grounded.

[0046] In this embodiment, a rail vehicle traction power supply system can utilize a pantograph to connect to the network during train operation. For example, when the first pantograph 5 is raised to connect to the network and the second pantograph 6 is not raised, the high-voltage disconnector 20 is closed, the first vacuum circuit breaker 74 and the first vacuum circuit breaker 76 in the first high-voltage tank 7 are closed, and the first grounding switch 75 and the second grounding switch 77 are not closed, indicating no ground connection. AC25kV high voltage AC enters the first high-voltage tank in sequence through the first pantograph 5, the cable, and the first high-voltage first input terminal 21. It is then delivered to the first traction transformer 9 through the first high-voltage first output terminal 22, and then to the second high-voltage second connection terminal 26 of the second high-voltage tank 8 through the first high-voltage second connection terminal 23 and the high-voltage disconnector 20. The first vacuum circuit breaker 74 in the second high-voltage tank 8 is opened, and the second vacuum circuit breaker 76 is closed. The AC25kV high voltage is then output to the second traction transformer 10 in sequence through the second high-voltage second connection terminal 26, the second vacuum circuit breaker 76, and the second high-voltage first output terminal 25. Similarly, the first pantograph 5 may not be raised, and the second pantograph 6 may be raised to access the network.

[0047] At the same time, the design of the high-voltage disconnector 20 of the rail vehicle traction power supply system, as well as the first and second vacuum circuit breakers 74 and 79, and the first and second grounding switches 75 and 77 in the high-voltage box, in this application, improves the safety of the entire train traction power supply system. For example, if a high-voltage busbar grounding fault occurs, the high-voltage disconnector 20 automatically disconnects and determines the busbar grounding section. If it is on the currently raised pantograph side, the pantograph replacement operation is initiated. If it is on the non-raised pantograph side, the status of the first and second grounding switches 75 and 77 on the non-raised pantograph side is checked for further fault handling.

[0048] A rail vehicle traction power supply system and rail vehicle in this embodiment include a four-carriage marshaling unit, wherein the lead car is provided with a single four-quadrant traction converter, a traction transformer, and two traction motors; the middle car adopts a fully redundant dual four-quadrant traction, auxiliary, and charging integrated converter, and is also provided with batteries and four traction motors; the train unit has a uniform weight distribution, a small axle weight difference, and a more reasonable design; and all vehicles are motor vehicles, with high power redundancy.

[0049] Correspondingly, another embodiment of the present application further provides a rail vehicle, which has a rail vehicle traction power supply system in the aforementioned embodiment. The four-carriage rail vehicles in the present application are all motor vehicles, wherein the first car and the fourth car are semi-motor vehicles, and the second car and the third car are full motor vehicles. The traction system adopts a frame control mode. Taking a rail vehicle in which each car includes two bogies, four axles, and eight wheels as an example, under the frame control mode, the minimum power unit that can be controlled at a time is a bogie unit, including two axle units, that is, two traction motors. The frame control mode is that when a motor on a motor vehicle fails, the control system isolates and cuts off the bogie where the motor is located. Since the rail vehicle adopts the above-mentioned four-carriage rail vehicle, including 6 power bogies, the power redundancy is high. In addition, the four-car rail vehicle used in this application can adopt conventional vehicle wiring technology. The high-voltage components (pantograph, high-voltage box), traction transformer, and intermediate car main traction inverter can achieve complete commonality in 4, 6, and 8 car groups. The auxiliary inverter, battery and other major components are common, which can easily realize operation in different car grouping forms such as 4+4 and 4+6 reconnection, thereby improving the flexibility of the rail vehicle grouping.
