Definitions
- This invention relates to an eddy current rail brake of permanent magnet type for decelerating a moving railway vehicle without contacting a rail.
- Adhesion-type braking devices (referred to below as a adhesive brakes) which utilize the frictional force (referred to below as adhesion) between rails and wheels have been much used as braking devices for railway vehicles for high-speed rail lines such as the bullet trains in Japan called Shinkansen, railway vehicles on conventional (ordinary speed) railway lines, streetcars, and the like.
- the maximum braking force generated by an adhesive brake is determined by the strength of adhesion. If a large braking force exceeding the maximum braking force of a wheel is applied to the wheel, the wheel slides on a rail instead of rolling, and an adhesion is no longer obtained. This causes the braking distance of a railway vehicle to be greatly increased.
- a rail brake-type braking device (referred to below as a rail brake) has been proposed in the art.
- a rail brake is a braking device which is used in combination with an adhesive brake. It obtains a braking force for a rail car directly from the rails by applying brakes from a braking device mounted on a bogie (also called truck) to a rail.
- Rail brakes can be generally classified as (a) adsorption types, (b) eddy current types, and (c) adsorption/eddy current types which operate an eddy current type rail brake as an adsorption type rail brake.
- Figure 8(a) is a perspective view showing one example of an adsorption/eddy current rail brake
- Figure 8(b) is a front view of one example of this rail brake
- Figure 8(c) is an explanatory view schematically showing the generation of eddy currents in the head of a rail at the time of braking with this rail brake.
- a magnet unit 4 is suspended so as to be able to be raised and lowered by a raise and fall (up and down) device 3 (such as a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder) mounted on a side beam 2 of a bogie frame which supports wheels 1, 1.
- a raise and fall (up and down) device 3 such as a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder
- a plurality of electromagnets 4a are installed in the magnet unit 4 in a row extending in the same direction as the side beam 2 (to the left and right in Figure 8(b)).
- the pole face on the bottom of each electromagnet 4a is oriented toward the top surface of the head of the rail 5.
- Brake shoes 4b are mounted on the pole faces of the electromagnets.
- the magnet unit 4 of this rail brake is lowered by the raise and fall device 3, and the brake shoes 4b are pressed against the top surface of the head of the rail 5.
- electric current is passed through exciting coils wound around the poles of each electromagnet 4a so as to generate a magnetic flux in the pole cores of the electromagnets 4a, and eddy currents C shown in Figure 8(c) are generated in the rail 5 due to the relative speed of the bogie frame and the rail 5.
- a braking force which acts on the bogie frame is produced by the electromagnetic attraction force which is generated between the rail 5 and the cores of the electromagnets 4a.
- an adsorption/eddy current rail brake also employs the braking force generated by friction between the rail 5 and the brake shoes 4b, it is difficult to obtain a stable braking force during rain or snow.
- an adsorption/eddy current rail brake converts kinetic energy into thermal energy caused by friction between the brake shoes 4b and the rail 5 in the same manner as an adsorption rail brake, and the thermal energy is dispersed into the rail 5. Therefore, this type of contacting rail brake is capable of damaging the rail 5.
- a non-contacting eddy current rail brake which does not use brake shoes must compensate for the braking force generated by friction with a rail in an adsorption/eddy current rail brake by employing alternative means, such as by increasing the number of windings of electromagnets. Therefore, the weight (mass) of a non-contacting eddy current rail brake is unavoidably increased, and as its weight increases, the inertia of a bogie also increases, which may make it necessary to further increase the braking force.
- An adsorption rail brake, an eddy current rail brake, and an adsorption/eddy current rail brake each use electromagnets to obtain a braking force. It is necessary to pass current through exciting coils in order for these rail brakes to generate a braking force. Normally, this current is provided by batteries which are mounted on a rail car as an emergency power supply. Therefore, the overall weight of these rail brakes increases since it is necessary to increase the capacity of the emergency power supply.
- Patent Document 1 discloses an eddy current rail brake which has a low probability of damaging rails and is not easily affected by the weather.
- permanent magnets are used instead of electromagnets.

- Figure 9(c) is an enlarged view showing the main portions of this eddy current rail brake at the time of braking.
- a magnet unit 4 of an eddy current rail brake using permanent magnets disclosed in Patent Document 1 is suspended from a bogie frame 2.
- Permanent magnets 6 are rotatably mounted so as to be able to rotate about horizontal axes 7 which are perpendicular to the direction in which the side beam 2 of the bogie frame extends.
- the permanent magnets 6 are rotated by 90° with respect to the braking state shown in Figure 9(c).
- the permanent magnets 6 are rotated by 90° in both directions by a rotating mechanism 8 through pole core 9.
- the rotating mechanism 8 comprises a crank 8a which pivots about an axis 7, and a link mechanism 8b which is connected to the crank 8a.
