Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments as described are only some rather than all the embodiments of the present disclosure. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit some embodiments of the present disclosure and any disclosures or uses thereof. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art on the basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure without involving any inventive effort shall all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.


As shown in FIGS. 1-11, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an emergency valve having an emergency accelerated release function, the emergency valve having an emergency accelerated release function including: an emergency valve body 10 and an inflation valve 30; wherein the emergency valve body 10 is provided with an emergency cavity 11, an air inlet 114 of the emergency cavity 11 being in communication with a train pipe 20; and the inflation valve 30 includes an inflation valve body 31, a first valve core 32 and a second valve core 33, the inflation valve body 31 having a driving cavity 311 and an inflation cavity 312 which are spaced apart; the first valve core 32 is movably arranged in the driving cavity 311 and divides the driving cavity 311 into a first driving cavity 3111 and a second driving cavity 3112, and the second valve core 33 is movably arranged at an air outlet 3121 of the inflation cavity 312, and an air inlet 3122 of the inflation cavity 312 is in communication with a brake cylinder 40, the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312 is in communication with an air inlet 31111 of the first driving cavity 3111, and an air outlet 31112 of the first driving cavity 3111 is in communication with the emergency cavity 11, and the second driving cavity 3112 is in communication with an emergency chamber 21; wherein the first valve core 32 has an inflation position at which the second valve core 33 is pushed away from the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312, and a blocking position at which the second valve core 33 is released.


By applying the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the emergency valve having an emergency accelerated release function includes the emergency valve body 10 and the inflation valve 30; when a train is released after emergency braking, the train pipe 20 is inflated, and since the first driving cavity 3111 is in communication with the train pipe 20 through the emergency cavity 11 and the second driving cavity 3112 is in communication with the emergency chamber 21, the inflation speed of the first driving cavity 3111 is greater than the inflation speed of the second driving cavity 3112, and thus the pressure of the first driving cavity 3111 is greater than the pressure of the second driving cavity 3112; and driven by the pressure difference, the first valve core 32 pushes the second valve core 33 away from the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312, thus the inflation cavity 312 is in communication with the first driving cavity 3111, such that pressurized air in the brake cylinder 40 enters the emergency cavity 11 through the inflation cavity 312 and the first driving cavity 3111, and is inflated to the train pipe 20 through the emergency cavity 11, thereby accelerating the inflation speed of the train pipe 20; and by using the pressurized air in the brake cylinder 40, the purpose of saving energy is achieved.


In this embodiment, a check valve 317 is provided between the air inlet of the first driving cavity 3111 and the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312. When the train is inflated for the first time, since no pressurized air exists in a braking system, the inflation speed of the first driving cavity 3111 is greater than the inflation speed of the second driving cavity 3112; and driven by the pressure difference, the first valve core 32 pushes the second valve core 33 away from the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312; however, since no pressurized air exists in the brake cylinder 40, the brake cylinder 40 will not inflate the train pipe 20 when the train is inflated for the first time. Also, due to the arrangement of the check valve 317, the pressurized air of the train pipe 20 can be prevented from being directly inflated into the brake cylinder 40 through the first driving cavity 3111. However, when the train is released after emergency braking, the air pressure in the brake cylinder 40 is greater than the air pressure in the first driving cavity 3111, and the pressurized air in the brake cylinder 40 can pass through the inflation cavity 312 and force open the check valve 317, and then inflate the train pipe 20 through the first driving cavity 3111.


The first valve core 32 includes a piston reset spring 323, and in a release working condition after normal braking, since the resultant force of the air pressure of the second driving cavity 3112 and an elastic force of the piston reset spring 323 is greater than the air pressure in the first driving cavity 3111 at this time, the first valve core 32 is located at the blocking position at which the second valve core 33 is released, and the inflation cavity 312 is in a non-communication state with the first driving cavity 3111; therefore, the pressurized air in the brake cylinder 40 will not inflate the train pipe 20.


Specifically, in an emergency braking working condition, pressurized air in both the train pipe 20 and the emergency chamber 21 is discharged into the atmosphere, the brake cylinder 40 receives pressurized air from an auxiliary reservoir, and the pressure of the brake cylinder 40 is increased to the maximum, so as to generate an emergency braking effect which is quick and has a large braking force.


It should be noted that the first valve core 32 having an inflation position at which the second valve core 33 is pushed away from the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312, and a blocking position at which the second valve core 33 is released, means that the first valve core 32 is subjected to the action of the pressure difference between the first driving cavity 3111 and the second driving cavity 3112, and when the train is released after emergency braking, the resultant force of the air pressure of the second driving cavity 3112 and the elastic force of the piston reset spring 323 is greater than the air pressure in the first driving cavity 3111, the first valve core 32 pushes the second valve core 33 away from the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312, so as to be in the inflation position. When there is pressurized air in both the first driving cavity 3111 and the second driving cavity 3112, the air pressures of the two are equal to each other, and under the action of the piston reset spring 323, the first valve core 32 is located at the blocking position at which the second valve core 33 is released.


As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, the first valve core 32 includes a piston cap 321 and a piston rod 322 connected with each other; an outer edge of the piston cap 321 is attached to a cavity wall of the driving cavity 311, and divides the driving cavity 311 into the first driving cavity 3111 and the second driving cavity 3112, and an end of the piston rod 322 is arranged corresponding to the second valve core 33. The first valve core 32 having the described structure has the advantages of a simple structure and easy installation.


In this embodiment, extension directions of the piston cap 321 and the piston rod 322 are perpendicular to each other.


It should be noted that, the force-bearing area of the piston cap 321 is far greater than the force-bearing area of the second valve core 33, such that the force received by the piston cap 321 can be greater than the force received by the second valve core 33, and then the first valve core 32 can drive the second valve core 33 to move.


As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, the inflation valve body 31 includes a valve body main body 313 and a check valve body 314, wherein the valve body main body 313 has the driving cavity 311 and the inflation cavity 312; the check valve body 314 is arranged in the inflation cavity 312 and is attached to a cavity wall of the inflation cavity 312, the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312 is a valve port of the check valve body 314, and the second valve core 33 is movably arranged in the check valve body 314.

By using the necked plug 3181, the inflation speed of the second driving cavity 3112 can be smaller than the inflation speed of the first driving cavity 3111, and then by using the pressure difference between the first driving cavity 3111 and the second driving cavity 3112, the first valve core 32 can be driven to move.


The inflation valve body 31 has an inclined hole 3182, and the emergency passage 318 is in communication with the second driving cavity 3112 through the inclined hole 3182. By using the inclined hole 3182, the advantage of facilitating communication between the emergency passage 318 and the second driving cavity 3112 is achieved.


Specifically, the piston cap 321 includes a first flat plate 3211, a second flat plate 3212 and an elastic pad 3213; an inner ring of the elastic pad 3213 is sandwiched between the first flat plate 3211 and the second flat plate 3212, an outer ring of the elastic pad 3213 is in sealed fit with the cavity wall of the driving cavity 311, and the piston rod 322 passes through the first flat plate 3211, the second flat plate 3212 and the elastic pad 3213 in sequence. The piston cap 321 having the described structure has the advantage of easy installation.


In this embodiment, the outer ring of the elastic pad 3213 is sandwiched between the inflation valve body 31 and the second valve cover 60, so as to separate the first driving cavity 3111 from the second driving cavity 3112. The elastic pad 3213 has a bending region in a region between the inner ring and the outer ring. By using the bending region, buffer can be provided for deformation of the elastic pad 3213.


The piston cap 321 further includes a locking nut 3214; a side wall of the piston rod 322 has an annular convex rib 3221 extending in a radial direction of the piston rod 322; the first flat plate 3211 abuts against the annular convex rib 3221, the locking nut 3214 abuts against the second flat plate 3212 and is in threaded connection with the piston rod 322. By the described structure, the piston cap 321 can be fixed by using the annular convex rib 3221 and the locking nut 3214, thereby achieving the advantage of a simple fixing structure.


In this embodiment, the first valve core 32 further includes a piston reset spring 323; one end of the piston reset spring 323 abuts against the piston cap 321, and the other end of the piston reset spring 323 abuts against the inflation valve body 31. By using the piston reset spring 323 and using the elastic force of the spring, the first valve core 32 can be located at the blocking position at which the first valve core is separated from the second valve core 33.


In this embodiment, when the air pressures of the first driving cavity 3111 and the second driving cavity 3112 are equal to each other, and under the action of the piston reset spring 323, the first valve core 32 is located at the blocking position at which the second valve core 33 is released. When the pressure of the first driving cavity 3111 is greater than the pressure of the second driving cavity 3112, under the driving of the pressure difference, the first valve core 32 pushes the second valve core 33 away from the air outlet of the inflation cavity 312 to be in the inflation position, and at this time, the piston reset spring 323 is in a compressed state.


As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inflation valve 30 further includes a dust filter 34 and a retaining ring 35; the dust filter 34 is arranged at an end of the driving cavity 311 away from the piston cap 321, the retaining ring is connected with an inner side wall of the inflation valve body 31, and an end of the dust filter 34 is attached to a side surface of the retaining ring. Air can be filtered by using the dust filter 34, preventing dust from entering the inflation valve 30; and the dust filter 34 can be positioned by using the retaining ring.


In this embodiment, the emergency valve having an emergency accelerated release function further includes a driving assembly 70; the driving assembly 70 movably arranged in the emergency cavity 11, the driving assembly 70 divides the emergency cavity 11 into an upper emergency cavity 111 and a lower emergency cavity 112, and the driving assembly 70 has a transition hole 71, the transition hole 71 communicates between the upper emergency cavity 111 and the lower emergency cavity 112. By using the driving assembly 70, the emergency valve can rapidly evacuate pressurized air in the lower emergency cavity 112, thereby achieving quick braking of the train.


In this embodiment, the upper emergency cavity 111 can be inflated through the transition hole 71, but the inflation speed of the upper emergency cavity 111 is lower than the inflation speed of the lower emergency cavity 112. In turn, the driving assembly 70 can move by the pressure difference between the upper emergency cavity 111 and the lower emergency cavity 112.


It should be noted that, the emergency valve having an emergency accelerated release function further includes an air discharge valve assembly 80; the air discharge valve assembly 80 is located in the lower emergency cavity 112, the driving assembly 70 is located above the air discharge valve assembly 80; a partition plate 113 is provided in the emergency cavity 11, and the partition plate 113 divides the lower emergency cavity 112 into an air inlet cavity 1121 and an exhaust cavity 1122 located below the air inlet cavity 1121, and the partition plate 113 has a deflation hole 1131, the air discharge valve assembly 80 being movably arranged at the deflation hole 1131. By using the air discharge valve assembly 80, when the train is in a non-emergency braking working condition, pressurized air in the train pipe cannot be evacuated by the emergency valve having an emergency accelerated release function. When the train is in an emergency braking working condition, the air discharge valve assembly 80 is driven by the driving assembly 70 such that an air discharge valve is located in an open position, thereby enabling the emergency valve having an emergency accelerated release function to quickly evacuate the pressurized air in the train pipe.


Specifically, when the train is subjected to emergency braking, air in the train pipe is exhausted, and the upper emergency cavity 111 exhausts air to the train pipe through the transition hole 71, and the lower emergency cavity 112 directly exhausts air to the train pipe; due to the existence of the transition hole 71, the exhaust speed of the upper emergency cavity 111 is lower than the exhaust speed of the lower emergency cavity 112, such that the pressure of the upper emergency cavity 111 is greater than the pressure of the lower emergency cavity 112; and when the driving assembly 70 moves downward along the axis of the driving assembly 70 until the driving assembly comes into contact with the air discharge valve assembly 80, the driving assembly 70 drives the air discharge valve assembly 80 to move downward, and the air discharge valve assembly 80, together with the driving assembly 70, moves downward along the axis of the driving assembly 70; and the air discharge valve assembly 80 moves from blocking the deflation hole 1131 to opening the deflation hole 1131, such that the train pipe can be quickly exhausted through the exhaust cavity 1122.


The content above merely relates to preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. For a person skilled in the art, the present disclosure may have various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
