DETAILED DESCRIPTION



[0025] In order to provide those skilled in the art a better understanding of the solutions of the present application, the present application is described hereinafter in further detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

First Embodiment



[0026] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the present application discloses a sand lubrication system used for an EMU. Since the braking and lubrication of the EMU are mainly on the head vehicle of the EMU, the sand lubrication system disclosed by the present application is often used on the head vehicle of the EMU, and it should be noted that it may also be mounted on other vehicle bodies that require lubrication and braking.

[0027] The sand lubrication system includes a sand box 1, a sand pipe 5, a sand spray nozzle, a lubricant supply device, a lubricating pipe 7 and a fuel spray nozzle.

[0028] The EMU includes a chassis 2 and a bogie 3, the bogie 3 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 2, and a baffle 4 is arranged between the bogie 3 and the dynamic front end of the chassis 2 to improve the dynamic performance of the EMU and reduce the running resistance of the EMU. The sand box 1 is arranged between the bogie 3 and the dynamic front end of the chassis 2, and the sand box 1 is integrated with the chassis 2. Specifically, the sand box 1 may be welded with the chassis 2 or integrally formed, which avoids the shaking of the sand box along with the vibration of the EMU, further avoids the shaking of the sand pipe 5, and improves the service life of the sand pipe 5.

[0029] One end of the sand pipe 5 is in communication with the outlet at the bottom of the sand box 1, and another end of the sand pipe 5 is in communication with the sand spray nozzle by passing through the baffle 4, and the sand spray nozzle may spray the materials delivered by the sand pipe 5 to the wheels 6 on the bogie 3. In order to facilitate sand discharge, the present application further discloses that the height of the sand spray pipe is higher than that of the sand spray nozzle.

[0030] The lubricant supply device is arranged between the bogie 3 and the dynamic front end of the chassis 2, and the lubricant supply device is mounted on the chassis 2. Specifically, the lubricant supply device may be any structure capable of supplying lubricant to the fuel spray nozzle.

[0031] One end of the lubricating pipe 7 is in communication with the outlet of the lubricant supply device, and another end of the lubricating pipe 7 is in communication with the fuel spray nozzle by bypassing the baffle 4, and the fuel spray nozzle may spray the lubricant delivered by the lubricating pipe 7 on the rims of the wheels 6.

[0032] For the sand lubrication system disclosed by the present application, when the EMU needs braking, the materials in the sand box 1 are delivered to the sand spray nozzle through the sand pipe 5, and are sprayed to the wheels 6 through the sand spray nozzle to improve the adhesive coefficient between the wheels and rails. When it is necessary to reduce the wear of the rims of the wheels 6, the lubricant is delivered by the lubricant supply device to the fuel spray nozzle through the lubricating pipe 7, and is sprayed to the rims of the wheels 6 through the fuel spray nozzle, which reduces the wear of the rims of the wheels 6, thus reducing the times and maintenance costs for maintaining and grinding the wheel 6, reducing the noise of the EMU in bends and tunnels, and reducing the risk of the wheels 6 going off the rail.

[0033] In addition, the sand box 1 of the present application is integrated with the chassis 2 of the EMU. Therefore, the reliable mounting of the sand lubrication system can be realized even if the baffle 4 is mounted between the bogie 3 and the dynamic front end of the chassis 2 of the EMU, and the space for mounting the sand lubrication system is narrow.

[0034] In summary, the wear of the wheels 6 of the EMU and the slipping probability of the EMU during braking are reduced according to the present application.

Second Embodiment



[0035] In the second embodiment according to the present application, the structure of the sand lubrication system in this embodiment is similar to that in the first embodiment, so the similarities will not be described again, and only the differences will be introduced.

[0036] In this embodiment, the application specifically discloses that the lubricant supply device includes a drive pump, an oil-gas mixing module and a distributor 8.

[0037] The drive pump can pump lubricant into the oil-gas mixing module. The distributor 8 is mounted on the lubricating pipe 7, and is in communication with the outlet of the oil-gas mixing module through the lubricating pipe 7. The two outlets of the distributor 8 are respectively in communication with the fuel spray nozzles on both sides through the lubricating pipe 7, so as to spray lubricant on the wheels 6 on both sides of the EMU.

[0038] Specifically, the drive pump may be a pneumatic plunger pump. It should be noted that it may also be other types of pumps. In this embodiment, the drive pump is a pneumatic plunger pump as an example. In use, the lubricant is pumped into the oil-gas mixing module by the pneumatic plunger pump, and the lubricant and air are mixed in the oil-gas mixing module. Under the action of compressed air, the lubricant is delivered along the inner wall of the lubricating pipe 7, distributed by the distributor 8 and then supplied to the fuel spray nozzle, from which the lubricant is sprayed onto the rims of the wheels 6.

[0039] Further, the present application discloses that the distributor 8 includes a vertical distribution valve 801 and a horizontal distribution valve 802. The vertical distribution valve 801 and the horizontal distribution valve 802 are vertically arranged to realize the steering of the lubricating pipe 7. The inlet of the vertical distribution valve 801 is in communication with the oil-gas mixing module through the lubricating pipe 7, the inlet of the horizontal distribution valve 802 is in communication with the outlet of the vertical distribution valve 801, and the two outlets of the horizontal distribution valve 802 are in communication with the fuel spray nozzle.

[0040] Further, the present application discloses that the lubricating pipe 7 includes a lubricating hard pipe 701 and a lubricating soft pipe 702. The distributor 8 is mounted on the lubricating hard pipe 701. One end of the lubricating soft pipe 702 is in communication with the lubricating hard pipe 701, and another end of the lubricating soft pipe 702 is in communication with the fuel spray nozzle. Specifically, In order to avoid the baffle 4, the lubricating soft pipe 702 is arranged in a U shape.

[0041] Further, the present application discloses that the sand pipe 5 includes a sand soft pipe 501 and a sand hard pipe 502. One end of the sand hard pipe 502 is in communication with the sand box 1, and another end of the sand hard pipe 502 is in communication with the sand soft pipe 501 through a partition straight joint 14 mounted on the baffle 4.

[0042] Further, the present application discloses that the sand lubrication system includes multiple connecting plates 9. The connecting plates 9 are mounted on the chassis 2, and both the lubricating pipe 7 and the sand pipe 5 are fixed on the connecting plates 9. Each of the connecting plates 9 is specifically a strip-shaped plate, through which both the lubricating pipe 7 and the sand pipe 5 are fixed on the chassis 2, thus realizing the compact connection between the lubricating pipe 7 and the sand pipe 5.

[0043] Further, the present application discloses that the sand lubrication system includes tensioning devices 10 and pipe clamps 11. The pipe clamps 11 are respectively fixed on the sand soft pipe 501 and the lubricating soft pipe 702. Each of the tensioning devices 10 has one end connected with the corresponding pipe clamp 11, and another end connected with the chassis 2.

[0044] In order to improve the fatigue resistance of the pipe clamps 11, the present application discloses that each of the pipe clamps 11 is a metal pipe clamp.

[0045] Further, the present application specifically discloses that each of the tensioning devices 10 includes a lifting socket, a lug, a wire rope and a rope puller. The lifting socket is fixed on the chassis 2. Specifically, the lifting socket is welded on the chassis 2 which improves the mounting strength of the lifting socket and the chassis 2. It should be noted that the lifting socket may be detachably connected to the chassis 2 by screws or the like.

[0046] One end of the lug is fixed on the lifting socket, and another end of the lug is connected with the wire rope. One end of the rope puller is connected with the wire rope, and another end of the rope puller is connected with the metal pipe clamp 11.

[0047] Since the sand soft pipe 501 and the lubricating soft pipe 702 are easy to shake with the vibration of the EMU. With the tightening action of the tightening device 10, on the one hand, the sagging of the sand soft pipe 501 and the lubricating soft pipe 702 is avoided, and on another hand, the shaking amplitude of the sand soft pipe 501 and the lubricating pipe 702 is reduced.

[0048] Further, the present application discloses that a lifting socket is provided with multiple lifting rings for fixing lugs, and the multiple lifting rings are uniformly distributed to realize the connection and adjustment of the pipe clamps 11 at different positions.

[0049] Further, the present application discloses that the sand lubrication system includes a sand dry-air pipe 12. The sand dry-air pipe 12 and the sand pipe 5 are fixed together to realize the drying of the borax in the sand pipe 5.

[0050] Further, the present application discloses that the sand lubrication system includes a felt strip 13. The felt strip 13 covers the lubricating soft pipe 702 to reduce wear on the lubricating soft pipe 702.

[0051] Further, the felt strip 13 can also cover the sand soft pipe 501 to reduce wear on the sand soft pipe 501.

[0052] When the present application is used, a baffle 4 is added between the lower part of the dynamic front end and the bogie 3 of the EMU. First, the sand pipe 5 is connected to the sand box 1 and is fastened. Then, the baffle 4 is mounted, and then the tensioning device 10 is assembled. Finally, the pipe clamp 11 and a hanger plate are mounted on the tensioning device 10. A suitable distance is chosen to cover the lubricating soft pipe 702 with a felt strip 13 for protection, and then the pipe clamp 11 and the hanger plate are connected to the wire rope of the sand soft pipe 501 through the tensioning device 10. A suitable distance is further chosen and a set of such tensioning device 10 is added, and the tensioning device 10 is finally connected to the gas path port of the fuel spray nozzle of the bogie 3. If the distance is not suitable, it will be determined after the vehicle completes the small curve test. In this manner, the lubricating soft pipe 702 will swing along with the bogie 3 and the sand soft pipe 501 to avoid interference. Under the condition of limited space, the reasonable arrangement of the sand pipe 5 and the lubricating pipe 7 is realized, and the sand and rim lubrication functions of the head vehicle are realized.

[0053] In the present application, the sand box 1 is directly integrated on the vehicle body and is integrated with the dynamic front end of the vehicle body, and a baffle 4 is added between the dynamic front end and the bogie 3, so that the rim lubrication and the sand pipe 5 respectively go through two pipelines, and a fixed point (the connection point between the tensioning device 10 and the lubricating pipe 7) is added to the lubricating pipe 7. Due to the limited space between the bogie 3 and the baffle 4, the lubricating soft pipe 702 is connected in U shape. When the bogie 3 swings within 7 degrees left and right from the longitudinal center of the vehicle body, in order to prevent interference with the lubricating soft pipe 702, both the lubricating hard pipe 701 and the sand hard pipe 502 are connected to the chassis 2 through the connecting plate 9 to make the horizontal straight section of the lubricating hard pipe 701 as close as possible to the baffle 4. In order to prevent the lubricating soft pipe 702 from rubbing against the wire rope directly, the lubricating soft pipe 702 is covered with the felt strip 13 for protection, and two sets of fixing devices are added to connect with the wire rope, thus a consistent swing can be maintained as the bogie 3 swings, thereby effectively avoiding the interference of abrasion and collision. The sand pipe 5 is connected by the partition straight joint 14 on a vertical partition of the baffle 4, passes between the dynamic front end and the baffle 4, and is fixed by a bracket welded below the dynamic front end. The assembly error is effectively reduced because the sand box 1 and the chassis 2 are integrated. Under the limited space condition between the bogie 3 and the baffle 4 of the head vehicle of the EMU, the reliability of the connection between the lubricating pipe 7 and the bogie 3 is solved, and the reliable work of the sand lubrication system can be ensured when the EMU goes through turnouts and bends.

[0055] The bogie 3 may be rotatably mounted on the chassis 2, and a baffle 4 is arranged between the bogie 3 and the dynamic front end of the chassis 2. Multiple guide grooves are opened on the baffle 4 to improve the dynamic performance of the EMU and reduce the running resistance of the EMU
