具体实施方式Detailed ways

为使本实用新型的技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及具体实施例,对本实用新型作进一步详细的说明。In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

本实用新型中提出了一种用于磁悬浮列车的推进装置。The utility model proposes a propulsion device for a maglev train.

如图1~图5所示,本实用新型实施例中的用于磁悬浮列车的推进装置包括:连接装置3和线圈4;As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 , the propulsion device for a maglev train in the embodiment of the present invention includes: a connecting device 3 and a coil 4 ;

所述连接装置3的顶部与设置在车体1下方的转向架2的底部连接;The top of the connecting device 3 is connected with the bottom of the bogie 2 arranged under the vehicle body 1;

所述线圈4与所述连接装置3的底部连接;所述线圈4设置在永磁轨道5的正上方。The coil 4 is connected to the bottom of the connecting device 3 ; the coil 4 is arranged just above the permanent magnet track 5 .

通过使用上述的推进装置,即可驱动相应的磁悬浮列车。本实用新型中的上述用于磁悬浮列车的推进装置适用于所有的高温超导磁悬浮系统。By using the above-mentioned propulsion device, the corresponding maglev train can be driven. The above-mentioned propulsion device for a maglev train in the present invention is applicable to all high temperature superconducting maglev systems.

另外,在本实用新型的技术方案中,可以使用多种具体的实现方式来实现上述的线圈。例如,可以根据实际应用情况的需要,根据永磁轨道的具体结构(例如,磁轨中永磁体的排列方式),预先设置线圈的绕线方式。以下将以其中的几种具体实现方式为例,对本实用新型的技术方案进行详细地介绍。In addition, in the technical solution of the present invention, various specific implementation manners can be used to realize the above-mentioned coil. For example, the winding method of the coil can be preset according to the needs of the actual application and according to the specific structure of the permanent magnet track (for example, the arrangement of the permanent magnets in the magnetic track). Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be introduced in detail by taking some of the specific implementation manners as examples.

例如,较佳的,如图3所示,在本实用新型的一个具体实施例中,当所述永磁轨道的截面包括4块永磁体,且各块永磁体从左至右的磁化方向分别为向右、向上、向上和向左时,所述线圈的形状为矩形,且所述线圈的底部位于中部两块永磁体的正上方;所述线圈中的电流方向为逆时针或顺时针。For example, preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, when the cross section of the permanent magnet track includes 4 permanent magnets, and the magnetization directions of each permanent magnet from left to right are respectively When the direction is to the right, up, up and left, the shape of the coil is a rectangle, and the bottom of the coil is located directly above the two permanent magnets in the middle; the current direction in the coil is counterclockwise or clockwise.

此时,由于磁场强度随距离梯度减少很快,而图3中的矩形线圈的顶部与永磁轨道的距离较远,因此顶部处的磁场强度极低,可忽略不计。线圈实际的受力部分集中在线圈的下边(即底边)以及线圈的两个侧边的靠近磁场的部分。根据左手安培定则可知,如图3所示的矩形线圈的底边的受力方向是垂直于纸面向外(即预先设定的驱动方向),而矩形线圈的两个侧边的受力方向却是与之相反。根据实际实验与仿真计算后可知,两者的合力并不为零,且该合力的方向是垂直于纸面向外(即预先设定的驱动方向)。因此,以该合力作为驱动力,即可实现对磁浮车的驱动或牵引。At this time, since the magnetic field strength decreases rapidly with the distance gradient, and the top of the rectangular coil in Figure 3 is far away from the permanent magnet track, the magnetic field strength at the top is extremely low and can be ignored. The actual force part of the coil is concentrated on the lower side (ie the bottom side) of the coil and the parts of the two sides of the coil close to the magnetic field. According to the left-hand ampere rule, the force direction of the bottom edge of the rectangular coil shown in Figure 3 is perpendicular to the outward direction of the paper (that is, the preset driving direction), while the force direction of the two sides of the rectangular coil is It is the opposite. According to the actual experiment and simulation calculation, it can be seen that the resultant force of the two is not zero, and the direction of the resultant force is perpendicular to the outward surface of the paper (ie, the preset driving direction). Therefore, the driving or traction of the maglev vehicle can be realized by using the resultant force as the driving force.

再例如,较佳的,如图4所示,在本实用新型的另一个具体实施例中,当所述永磁轨道的截面包括4块永磁体,且各永磁体从左至右的磁化方向分别为向上、向上、向下和向下时,所述线圈的形状为两个相连的矩形,其中的一个矩形的底部位于左边两块永磁体的正上方,另一个矩形的底部位于右边两块永磁体的正上方;所述两个矩形中的电流方向相反。例如,如图4所示,该线圈左边的矩形中的电流方向为逆时针,而右边的矩形中的电流方向为顺时针。For another example, preferably, as shown in FIG. 4 , in another specific embodiment of the present invention, when the cross section of the permanent magnet track includes 4 permanent magnets, and the magnetization direction of each permanent magnet is from left to right When the coils are upward, upward, downward and downward respectively, the shape of the coil is two connected rectangles, the bottom of one rectangle is located directly above the two permanent magnets on the left, and the bottom of the other rectangle is located on the right two. Directly above the permanent magnet; the current directions in the two rectangles are opposite. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the direction of current flow in the rectangle on the left of the coil is counterclockwise, while the direction of current flow in the rectangle on the right is clockwise.

图4中所示的线圈的驱动原理与图3中的驱动原理相类似,因此在此不再赘述。The driving principle of the coil shown in FIG. 4 is similar to the driving principle in FIG. 3 , so it will not be repeated here.

再例如,较佳的,如图5所示,在本实用新型的另一个具体实施例中,当所述永磁轨道的截面包括5块永磁体,且各永磁体从左至右的磁化方向分别为向右、向上、向左、向下和向右时,所述线圈的形状为两个相连的矩形,其中的一个矩形的底部位于最左边两块永磁体的正上方,另一个矩形的底部位于最右边两块永磁体的正上方;所述两个矩形中的电流方向相反。例如,如图5所示,该线圈左边的矩形中的电流方向为逆时针,而右边的矩形中的电流方向为顺时针。For another example, preferably, as shown in FIG. 5, in another specific embodiment of the present invention, when the cross section of the permanent magnet track includes 5 permanent magnets, and the magnetization direction of each permanent magnet is from left to right When they are rightward, upward, leftward, downward and rightward respectively, the shape of the coil is two connected rectangles. The bottom is directly above the two rightmost permanent magnets; the current directions in the two rectangles are opposite. For example, as shown in Figure 5, the direction of current flow in the rectangle on the left of the coil is counterclockwise, while the direction of current flow in the rectangle on the right is clockwise.

图5中所示的线圈的驱动原理与图3、图4中的驱动原理相类似,因此在此不再赘述。The driving principle of the coil shown in FIG. 5 is similar to the driving principle in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , so it is not repeated here.

另外,较佳的,在本实用新型的一个具体实施例中,所述永磁轨道5通过轨道支墩6安装在混凝土结构7上。In addition, preferably, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the permanent magnet track 5 is installed on the concrete structure 7 through the track support pier 6 .

另外,较佳的,在本实用新型的一个具体实施例中,所述连接装置3和线圈4,与高温超导悬浮装置8并排安装在永磁轨道5上方的转向架2上。In addition, preferably, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the connecting device 3 and the coil 4 are installed side by side with the high temperature superconducting suspension device 8 on the bogie 2 above the permanent magnet track 5 .

综上所述,在本实用新型的技术方案中,将线圈设置在车体下方、永磁轨道上方的转向架上,充分利用了高温超导磁悬浮实现悬浮、导向功能的永磁轨道,使其成为驱动系统的一部分。通过两者的有机结合,简化了整个高温超导磁悬浮系统,整体上提高了该磁浮系统的一体化程度。而且,本实用新型的技术方案中并未利用现有技术中的传统磁悬浮系统所使用的交流同步直线电机技术,而是利用类似于直流直线电机基本原理与高温超导磁悬浮巧妙结合的方式,来实现磁浮车牵引的新型驱动方式,因此无需沿着轨道铺设线圈或者额外设置推进装置,可以显著降低高温超导磁悬浮系统工程造价水平,节约了成本。To sum up, in the technical solution of the present utility model, the coil is arranged on the bogie below the vehicle body and above the permanent magnet track, and the permanent magnet track with the high temperature superconducting magnetic levitation to realize the levitation and guiding functions is fully utilized, so that the become part of the drive system. Through the organic combination of the two, the entire high-temperature superconducting magnetic levitation system is simplified, and the integration degree of the magnetic levitation system is improved as a whole. Moreover, the technical solution of the present invention does not use the AC synchronous linear motor technology used in the traditional magnetic suspension system in the prior art, but uses a method similar to the basic principle of the DC linear motor and the high temperature superconducting magnetic suspension.
