Application of air disc brake in mining electric locomotive

Abstract

In order to shorten the braking distance of mining electric locomotive and improve the safety of underground transportation effectively. The existing handwheel-brake shoe brake device is analyzed. In view of its shortcomings, an air disc brake device and a tread sweeper are put forward. Through calculation verification and simulation analysis, it is found that the device can shorten the braking distance of mining electric locomotive effectively and it can meet the requirements of The Specification of Narrow Tramroad Gauge Electric Locomotive for Mine. It has a certain degree of application value and practical significance.
