MATTERS OF LOAD DECREASE IN TRACTION DRIVE UNITS AT BOXING

The purpose of this work consists in the development of constructive solutions decreasing loads in the units of the electric locomotive traction drive at boxing. The investigations carried out in the field of electric locomotive operation on domestic railways have shown that one of the basic directions in the decrease of non-sprung masses consists in the introduction of an elastic tie between a wheel pair and a drive motor armature. The improvement mentioned results in the considerable load increase in the traction drive at friction self-oscillations arising in the mode of wheel slip on a rail. The analysis, carried out in the work, of methods to reduce similar dynamic loads has shown that approaches efficient enough are: - shock vibro-damping of wheel pair self-oscillations, - limitation of wheel slip rate on a rail with the control of friction factor by means of the impact upon a contact area of electric and magnetic fields, - changes of elastic-dissipative properties of dynamic systems in an electric locomotive running gear to control self-oscillation fashions. To realize measures described there are offered constructive solutions limiting self-oscillation amplitudes in a boxing mode. In particular the system of instantaneous control with clutch amplifies based on the application of magnetic inductor in the form of a mounted unit upon a crew section of an electric locomotive. For realization of the method for the process control of the competition of self-oscillation fashions there is offered a design of the device changing forcibly a fashion of growing self-oscillations at the expense of the control of elastic-dissipative properties of dynamic system links in the traction drive. The innovation solutions developed are protected with the patent for invention, two patents for utility model.
