Each of the connecting plates 9 is specifically a strip-shaped plate, through which both the lubricating pipe 7 and the sand pipe 5 are fixed on the chassis 2, thus realizing the compact connection between the lubricating pipe 7 and the sand pipe 5.
  • Further, the present application discloses that the sand lubrication system includes tensioning devices 10 and pipe clamps 11. The pipe clamps 11 are respectively fixed on the sand soft pipe 501 and the lubricating soft pipe 702. Each of the tensioning devices 10 has one end connected with the corresponding pipe clamp 11, and another end connected with the chassis 2.
  • In order to improve the fatigue resistance of the pipe clamps 11, the present application discloses that each of the pipe clamps 11 is a metal pipe clamp.
  • Further, the present application specifically discloses that each of the tensioning devices 10 includes a lifting socket, a lug, a wire rope and a rope puller. The lifting socket is fixed on the chassis 2. Specifically, the lifting socket is welded on the chassis 2 which improves the mounting strength of the lifting socket and the chassis 2.

  • One end of the lug is fixed on the lifting socket, and another end of the lug is connected with the wire rope. One end of the rope puller is connected with the wire rope, and another end of the rope puller is connected with the metal pipe clamp 11.
  • Since the sand soft pipe 501 and the lubricating soft pipe 702 are easy to shake with the vibration of the EMU. With the tightening action of the tightening device 10, on the one hand, the sagging of the sand soft pipe 501 and the lubricating soft pipe 702 is avoided, and on another hand, the shaking amplitude of the sand soft pipe 501 and the lubricating pipe 702 is reduced.
  • Further, the present application discloses that a lifting socket is provided with multiple lifting rings for fixing lugs, and the multiple lifting rings are uniformly distributed to realize the connection and adjustment of the pipe clamps 11 at different positions.
  • Further, the present application discloses that the sand lubrication system includes a sand dry-air pipe 12. The sand dry-air pipe 12 and the sand pipe 5 are fixed together to realize the drying of the borax in the sand pipe 5.
  • Further, the present application discloses that the sand lubrication system includes a felt strip 13. The felt strip 13 covers the lubricating soft pipe 702 to reduce wear on the lubricating soft pipe 702.
  • Further, the felt strip 13 can also cover the sand soft pipe 501 to reduce wear on the sand soft pipe 501.
  • When the present application is used, a baffle 4 is added between the lower part of the dynamic front end and the bogie 3 of the EMU. First, the sand pipe 5 is connected to the sand box 1 and is fastened. Then, the baffle 4 is mounted, and then the tensioning device 10 is assembled. Finally, the pipe clamp 11 and a hanger plate are mounted on the tensioning device 10. A suitable distance is chosen to cover the lubricating soft pipe 702 with a felt strip 13 for protection, and then the pipe clamp 11 and the hanger plate are connected to the wire rope of the sand soft pipe 501 through the tensioning device 10. A suitable distance is further chosen and a set of such tensioning device 10 is added, and the tensioning device 10 is finally connected to the gas path port of the fuel spray nozzle of the bogie 3. If the distance is not suitable, it will be determined after the vehicle completes the small curve test. In this manner, the lubricating soft pipe 702 will swing along with the bogie 3 and the sand soft pipe 501 to avoid interference. Under the condition of limited space, the reasonable arrangement of the sand pipe 5 and the lubricating pipe 7 is realized, and the sand and rim lubrication functions of the head vehicle are realized.
  • In the present application, the sand box 1 is directly integrated on the vehicle body and is integrated with the dynamic front end of the vehicle body, and a baffle 4 is added between the dynamic front end and the bogie 3, so that the rim lubrication and the sand pipe 5 respectively go through two pipelines, and a fixed point (the connection point between the tensioning device 10 and the lubricating pipe 7) is added to the lubricating pipe 7. Due to the limited space between the bogie 3 and the baffle 4, the lubricating soft pipe 702 is connected in U shape. When the bogie 3 swings within 7 degrees left and right from the longitudinal center of the vehicle body, in order to prevent interference with the lubricating soft pipe 702, both the lubricating hard pipe 701 and the sand hard pipe 502 are connected to the chassis 2 through the connecting plate 9 to make the horizontal straight section of the lubricating hard pipe 701 as close as possible to the baffle 4. In order to prevent the lubricating soft pipe 702 from rubbing against the wire rope directly, the lubricating soft pipe 702 is covered with the felt strip 13 for protection, and two sets of fixing devices are added to connect with the wire rope, thus a consistent swing can be maintained as the bogie 3 swings, thereby effectively avoiding the interference of abrasion and collision. The sand pipe 5 is connected by the partition straight joint 14 on a vertical partition of the baffle 4, passes between the dynamic front end and the baffle 4, and is fixed by a bracket welded below the dynamic front end. The assembly error is effectively reduced because the sand box 1 and the chassis 2 are integrated. Under the limited space condition between the bogie 3 and the baffle 4 of the head vehicle of the EMU, the reliability of the connection between the lubricating pipe 7 and the bogie 3 is solved, and the reliable work of the sand lubrication system can be ensured when the EMU goes through turnouts and bends.
