Specific embodiment
With reference now to accompanying drawing, wherein identical reference represents all the time identical part, sees in FIG for indicating The overvoltage of checking cylinder causes the braking maintenance indicator system 10 that under-voltage checking cylinder leaks.As shown in figure 1, instruction system 10 is wrapped Include the second end of first port 12 and waste gas EX (atmospheric pressure) fluid communication connected with the sourced fluid of brake-cylinder pressure BC The 3rd ports 16 and connect with the source ER of emergent reservoir pressure that mouth 14 is connected with the sourced fluid of Brake pipe pressure BP The 4th port 18.
Instruction system 10 also includes the first Room 22 that will be connected with first port 12 and connect with second port 14 second The first separate barrier film 20 of room 24.Barrier film 20 is operably engaged to the vision that can be moved between retracted position and extended position Indicator 26, in retracted position, indicator 26 is substantially housed within the first Room 22, in extended position, indicator 26 from first Room 22 is protruding.Indicator 26 is biased in retracted position by spring 28.Spring 28 preferably has offer by indicator 26 Preload towards the power of the about 10psi of retracted position bias, actual checking cylinder BC pressure and target checking cylinder BC pressure it Between the delayed of restriction is provided, with prevent mistake indicating fault.It can be provided by selecting corresponding spring 28 to preload His pressure bias value.Transparent or semitransparent indicator cover 30 can be arranged to and 26 one-tenth covering relations of indicator, so as to keep Pressure encapsulates (envelope), protects indicator 26 and prevents any environmental pollutants from entering instruction system 10, while allowing to indicate Device 26 is moved to from the externally visible extended position of system 10.
Second barrier film 32 is arranged in instruction system 10, therefore will be connected with the 3rd port 16 and with Brake pipe pressure BP The 3rd Room 34 and with the 4th port 18 and therefore the fourth ventricle 36 that connects with emergent reservoir pressure ER separate.Barrier film 32 is operated The second visual detector 38 that can be moved between retracted position and extended position is bonded to property, in retracted position, indicator 38 are substantially housed within fourth ventricle 36, and in extended position, indicator 38 is protruding from fourth ventricle 36.Indicator 38 is by second Spring 40 is biased in retracted position.Preferably there is spring 40 offer indicator 38 to be moved into the about 10psi in retracted position Biasing force preload.Second transparent or semitransparent indicator cover 42 can be arranged to and 38 one-tenth covering relations of indicator, So as to keep pressure to encapsulate, protect indicator 38 and prevent any environmental pollutants from entering instruction system 10, while allowing indicator 38 when in extended position from outside.The power being associated with the movement of the second barrier film 32 is transferred to via floating pin 44 One barrier film 20.
The impregnation area of the second barrier film 32 selects about 2.5 times of the impregnation area for the first barrier film 20.Select pressure reduction 2.5:1 It is because the Brake pipe pressure BP needed for AAR compatible systems reduces the ratio with brake-cylinder pressure BC.More specifically, due to AAR Volume relationship in brakes between auxiliary memory and checking cylinder, the reduction of Brake pipe pressure BP will cause brake-cylinder pressure The increase (it is 2.5 times that Brake pipe pressure BP is reduced) of BC.For example, reduce when operator carries out 10psi Brake pipe pressures BP To start during brake, brake-cylinder pressure BC increases 25psi.The present invention may be configured to have different desired non-AAR simultaneous Appearance system or brakes be desired or required different pressure reduction.
Therefore, indicating that system 10 has determines emergent difference between reservoir pressure ER and Brake pipe pressure BP with according to pressure Power compares 2.5:1 determines any brake pipe pressure drop (brake pipe reduction) and it is thus determined that expected brake-cylinder pressure BC increasings Plus a part.System 10 also includes compareing to determine if expected brake-cylinder pressure with actual brake-cylinder pressure BC Another part of appropriate brake-cylinder pressure BC is actually generated, if do not produced, system 10 will indicate to exceed bullet respectively Any under-voltage or overvoltage of the little power bias of spring 28 and 40.
If more specifically, the brake-cylinder pressure in the first Room 22 is leaked to than being determined by the reduction of Brake pipe pressure BP The low 10psi or more of brake-cylinder pressure BC goal pressures, it indicates that system 10 will indicate checking cylinder leakage.Second barrier film 32 is used Make expected brake-cylinder pressure BC, because the power that it will be responsive to act on barrier film 32 is poor (emergent in due to acting on room 36 Reservoir pressure and act in room 34 brake pipe BP pressure caused by) and move, wherein brake pipe BP pressure from The amount of brake pipe BP pressure drops is reduced in the balance of emergent reservoir pressure, so as to by power via floating pin 44 apply to first every On film 20.Because the impregnation area of the second barrier film 32 is relative to the 2.5 of the impregnation area of the first barrier film 20:1 difference, the first Room Brake-cylinder pressure BC in 22 must increase equivalent to the pressure differential effect on the barrier film 32 acted in the 3rd Room 34 and 36 2.5 times, the power for otherwise being provided by the second barrier film 32 will overcome biasing spring 28 and move the first barrier film 20.When by the second barrier film 32 The power of offer is applied the power of the checking cylinder BC pressure on barrier film 20 in the chamber 22 and offsets, more than preloading (for example for spring 28 About 10psi) when, indicator 26 will be moved to extended position, so as to provide actual brake-cylinder pressure BC less than it any given Pressure that time should reach is visually indicated.Therefore, the movement of indicator 26 provides what brake-cylinder pressure BC had been leaked Signal so that brake-cylinder pressure BC lower than expected brake-cylinder pressure BC amount is equal to preloading for spring 28.
Instruction system 10 may also indicate that the undesirable leakage into checking cylinder so that brake-cylinder pressure BC is in office higher than its The pressure that what should reach preset time.During normal service brake application, nominally brake-cylinder pressure BC is brake pipe pressure 2.5 times of the reduction of power BP.Under release and refilling state completely, brake pipe BP pressure, auxiliary memory pressure and emergent Nominally reservoir pressure is all filled to identical amount, usually 90psi, and brake-cylinder pressure is released into 0psig.It is right In service brake application, Brake pipe pressure BP reduces required amount by train driver.Control valve in brakes includes work Make piston, the side of the working piston is pressurizeed by brake pipe, and opposite side is pressurizeed by auxiliary memory.When Brake pipe pressure BP drops It is low be braked apply when, due to the reduction of Brake pipe pressure BP, working piston is moved to brake application position.Should in braking With position, it is allowed to the air flow from auxiliary memory to checking cylinder, until auxiliary memory pressure is substantially equal to braking Till pipe pressure BP, now main working piston is moved to work lap position (service lap position), wherein aiding in Connection between holder and checking cylinder is disconnected, and brake-cylinder pressure BC is controlled.
Due to the ratio 2.5 of the impregnation area of the impregnation area and the first barrier film 20 of the second barrier film 32:1, so if braking Cylinder pressure BC is appropriate with the ratio that Brake pipe pressure BP is reduced during driving brake application, indicate system 10 will not with stretch or Indicator in mark position is in dynamic balance.It is such as poor (emergent in due to acting on room 36 by the power acted on barrier film 32 Reservoir pressure is caused with preloading for the Brake pipe pressure and biasing spring 40 acted in room 34) determined by, such as The amount that brake-cylinder pressure BC in fruit room 22 increases be equal to or more than that Brake pipe pressure BP reduces 2.5 times (for example when exist from During the undesirable leakage of brake pipe, auxiliary memory or emergent holder to checking cylinder), barrier film 22 and 32 will be moved down, and And indicator 38 will be moved to extended position, so as to visually indicate that checking cylinder is excessively filled.Due in checking cylinder The undesirable leakage for producing overvoltage is typically what is caused by Fault Control valve, so instruction system 10 can provide Fault Control valve Notice immediately.
Indicator 10 may be used to indicate that brakes keeps when valve is by mistake stayed in locations of high pressure.AAR is braked System includes keeping valve, and when manually booting, the holding valve will suppress (bottle up) to brake by sealed brake cylinder waste gas Cylinder pressure BC.This allows train driver to suppress the brake on vehicle, then while retainer controls brake-cylinder pressure All control valves on brake pipe and train are discharged and refilled.Generally using holding while long-term rank is reduced Device, and according to AAR standards, retainer will control about 20psi in high pressure is arranged.Before casting off wharf, train undergoes many Test needed for individual, it includes discharging brake and checking that each vehicle has discharged to verify brake.If vehicle is Release brake, but retainer is by mistake arranged, it indicates that and system 10 will provide visual indicia, because the overvoltage of 20psi Be enough to overcome preloading in spring 40 and indicator button 38 is moved in extended position.
Although illustrating embodiments of the present invention using the flexible partition and floating pin for providing power connection, system is indicated System 10 can be by providing required 2.5:Piston that 1 ratio and gained are indicated and any combinations of sealing device are realizing.
