Embodiment
Referring now to attached drawing, wherein identical reference numeral represents identical component all the time, see in Fig. 1 for indicating The overvoltage of checking cylinder or the braking maintenance indicator system 10 for causing under-voltage checking cylinder to leak.As shown in Figure 1, instruction system 10 is wrapped Include the first port 12 connected with the sourced fluid of brake-cylinder pressure BC, the second end being in fluid communication with exhaust gas EX (atmospheric pressure) Mouthfuls 14, the 3rd port 16 that is connected with the sourced fluid of Brake pipe pressure BP and connected with the source ER of emergent reservoir pressure The 4th port 18.
Instruction system 10 is further included the first Room 22 connected with first port 12 and connected with second port 14 second The first separated membrane 20 of room 24.Membrane 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 into retracted position by spring 28.Spring 28, which preferably has, to be provided indicator 26 Preloaded 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 hysteresis of restriction is provided, to prevent the indicating fault of mistake.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 indicator 26 into covering relation, so as to keep Pressure encapsulates (envelope), protects indicator 26 and prevents any environmental pollutants from entering instruction system 10, while allows to indicate Device 26 is moved to from 10 externally visible extended position of system.
Second membrane 32 is arranged in instruction system 10, will be with the 3rd port 16 and therefore being connected with Brake pipe pressure BP The 3rd Room 34 and separated with the 4th port 18 and therefore with the emergent reservoir pressure ER fourth ventricles 36 connected.Membrane 32 operates 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, protruding from fourth ventricle 36 in extended position, indicator 38.Indicator 38 is by second Spring 40 is biased into retracted position.Spring 40 preferably has the about 10psi for providing and moving into indicator 38 in retracted position Biasing force preload.Second transparent or semitransparent indicator cover 42 can be arranged to indicator 38 into covering relation, So as to keep pressure to encapsulate, protect indicator 38 and prevent any environmental pollutants from entering instruction system 10, while allow indicator 38 when in extended position from outside.With the associated power of mobile phase of the second membrane 32 is transferred to via floating pin 44 One membrane 20.
About 2.5 times of the impregnation area of the first membrane of impregnation area selected as 20 of second membrane 32.Select pressure difference 2.5:1 It is due to the Brake pipe pressure BP reductions needed for AAR compatible systems and the ratio of brake-cylinder pressure BC.More specifically, due to AAR Volume relationship in braking system between auxiliary memory and checking cylinder, the reduction of Brake pipe pressure BP will cause brake-cylinder pressure The increase of BC (it is 2.5 times that Brake pipe pressure BP is reduced).For example, reduced when operator carries out 10psi Brake pipe pressures BP During starting brake, brake-cylinder pressure BC increases 25psi.The present invention may be configured to have the non-AAR of different requirements simultaneous Appearance system or braking system be desired or required different pressure differences.
Therefore, indicating that system 10 has determines emergent difference between reservoir pressure ER and Brake pipe pressure BP with according to pressure Power is than 2.5:1 determines any brake pipe pressure drop (brake pipe reduction) and it is thus determined that expected brake-cylinder pressure BC increasings The part added.System 10, which is further included, compare 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 The small power of spring 28 and 40 biases any under-voltage or over-pressed.
More specifically, if 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 of brake-cylinder pressure BC goal pressures or more, it indicates that system 10 will indicate checking cylinder leakage.Second membrane 32 is used Make expected brake-cylinder pressure BC, because the force difference that it will be responsive to act on membrane 32 is (emergent in room 36 due to acting on Caused by reservoir pressure and the brake pipe BP pressure acted in room 34) 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, thus by power via floating pin 44 apply to first every On film 20.Since the impregnation area of the second membrane 32 is relative to the 2.5 of the impregnation area of the first membrane 20:1 difference, the first Room Brake-cylinder pressure BC in 22 must increase equivalent to the pressure differential effect on the membrane 32 acted in the 3rd Room 34 and 36 2.5 times, the power otherwise provided by the second membrane 32 will overcome biasing spring 28 and move the first membrane 20.When by the second membrane 32 The power that the power of offer is applied the checking cylinder BC pressure in the chamber 22 on membrane 20 is offset, more than the preloading of spring 28 (such as 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 The pressure that time should reach visually indicates.Therefore, the movement of indicator 26 provides what brake-cylinder pressure BC had been leaked Signal so that amount lower than expected brake-cylinder pressure BC brake-cylinder pressure BC 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 What gives the pressure fixed time and should reached.During normal service brake is applied, nominally brake-cylinder pressure BC is brake pipe pressure 2.5 times of the reduction of power BP.Under complete release and refilling state, brake pipe BP pressure, auxiliary memory pressure and emergent It is usually 90psi, and brake-cylinder pressure is released into 0psig nominally reservoir pressure is all filled to identical amount.It is right In service brake application, Brake pipe pressure BP is reduced required amount by train driver.Control valve in braking system 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 to carry out brake application 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 Untill pipe pressure BP, main working piston is moved to work lap position (service lap position) at this time, wherein aiding in Connection between holder and checking cylinder is disconnected, and brake-cylinder pressure BC is controlled.
The ratio between impregnation area due to impregnation area and the first membrane 20 of the second membrane 32 2.5:1, so if braking Cylinder pressure BC during brake application of driving a vehicle with Brake pipe pressure BP reduce ratio it is appropriate, instruction system 10 will not with stretching, extension or Indicator in mark position is in dynamic balance.It is such as (emergent in room 36 due to acting on by acting on the force difference on membrane 32 Preloading for reservoir pressure and the Brake pipe pressure that acts in room 34 and biasing spring 40 is caused) determined by, such as Increased amounts of brake-cylinder pressure BC in fruit room 22 be equal to or more than that Brake pipe pressure BP reduces 2.5 times (such as when exist from Brake pipe, auxiliary memory or emergent holder to checking cylinder undesirable leakage when), membrane 22 and 32 will move down, and And indicator 38 will be moved to extended position, so that visually instruction checking cylinder excessively fills.Due to entering in checking cylinder The undesirable leakage for producing overvoltage is typically as caused by Fault Control valve, so instruction system 10 is capable of providing Fault Control valve Notice immediately.
Indicator 10 may be used to indicate that braking system keeps when valve is inadvertently stayed in locations of high pressure.AAR is braked System includes keeping valve, and when manually booting, which will suppress (bottle up) braking by sealed brake cylinder exhaust 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.Holding is used usually while long-term rank is reduced Device, and about 20psi will be controlled in high pressure is set according to AAR standards, retainer.Before casting off wharf, train is subjected to more A required test, it includes discharging brake and checks each vehicle to verify that brake has discharged.If vehicle is Brake is discharged, but retainer is inadvertently set, it indicates that system 10 will provide visual indicia, because the overvoltage of 20psi It is 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 that provide power connection, instruction is System 10 can pass through necessary to offer 2.5:1 piston of ratio and gained instruction and any combinations of sealing device is realized.
