Description

The utility model relates to vehicle heating systems and is intended to maintain the temperature of coolants of idle diesel engine (s), automate the collection, processing, storage and transmission of information on diesel fuel consumption, location and causes of rolling stock failure: diesel locomotives, diesel trains, rail buses and special substations (cranes, snowplows, car lifts, tracklayers, etc.).

The automated heating system of the locomotive “LOCOTERM” (ASPT “LOCOTERM”) (hereinafter - ASPT) is designed to maintain the temperature of the coolant of the idle diesel engine (s) at a level that ensures its reliable start-up under conditions of low ambient temperatures.

The prototype of the claimed utility model is the Automated heating system of the diesel locomotive "ASPT". containing a heater for the diesel cooling system, a heater for oil and fuel systems, which are connected through the fuel pumps to the fuel tank of the diesel locomotive, are equipped with pumps for supplying water to the circulation circuits and are connected to a ventilation system for removing fuel combustion products, thermal control sensors in the circuits of the cooling system diesel, oil and fuel systems, a sensor for monitoring the voltage on the battery, which is connected through the unit for converting and stabilizing the voltage to the control panel p zhimami heaters includes a sound and light alarm on the locomotive and a radio transmitter for heaters operating modes for remote signaling (patent RU 2324826, IPC F01M 5/02 (2006.01), published 20.05.2008). During the operation of this known technical tool at the idle point of diesel locomotives, the circulation circuits of the heaters are connected to the water circuits of the diesel locomotive, using pumps from the fuel tank, fuel is supplied to the nozzles of the heaters and, using the remote control, the thermal conditions of the water circuits are controlled manually or automatically, thereby maintaining the temperature parameters in the cooling circuits of the diesel engine, fuel and oil systems in the normal mode, as well as providing station personnel on duty remotely via the radio channel and data on the operation of heaters and thermal conditions of all locomotives and turn off the power systems of the heaters, both for fuel and energy supply, in emergency situations.

At the same time, fuel consumption is reduced in a regular idle time due to shutdown of diesel engines and regulation of the heat output of heaters in accordance with the weather, and also due to a reduction in the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere, which, consequently, improves the environmental situation, reduces the amortization of diesel engines and diesel locomotive equipment, organizes hot downtime in emergency and repair situations when diesel warming up is impossible, automation of maintaining the necessary thermal conditions of the locomotive systems, increasing the characteristics of diesel locomotives to exit downtime.

A distinctive feature of the prototype is that the locomotive’s heating system has heaters with water circuits, one connected to the diesel cooling system, the second to the diesel engine’s oil and fuel systems, and shut-off valves for switching heating and cooling modes. The heaters are equipped with fuel pumps, connected by fuel supply to the diesel tank’s fuel tank, equipped with pumps for pumping water in the circulation circuits, a ventilation system to remove the products of fuel combustion into the atmosphere through the diesel locomotive pipe, as well as a remote control and alarm system on the diesel locomotive and a remote control unit, stationed on duty at the station. Pumps, fans and heater control system are connected to the battery through the voltage conversion and stabilization unit. In addition, the heating system contains sensors for monitoring the thermal regime in the circuits of the diesel cooling system, oil and fuel systems, a voltage control sensor for the battery, and the control panel for the heater modes contains sound and light alarm units on the diesel locomotive and a radio transmitter for normal and emergency operation heaters to alert the duty officer on the station, in the duty room there is a radio signal receiver with an alarm unit that displays the digital numbers of diesel locomotives and operating modes of heaters.

The disadvantage of the prototype in front of the claimed ASPT is the inability to control diesel fuel consumption in the tank of the diesel locomotive both consumed by the system and unauthorized discharge, registration and storage of recorded data on fuel consumption, system operation, and the corresponding location of the diesel locomotive. The lack of information about the location of the locomotive does not allow for the rapid search of rolling stock, makes it difficult to timely find a malfunction and prevent freezing of coolants of the rolling stock and the place of unauthorized drain of fuel.

Another disadvantage of this prototype of the claimed ASPT is the use of a standard rolling stock battery as a power source for this System, which operates under conditions of a disconnected diesel generator set, that is, in the absence of charging of the batteries, which leads to its rapid discharge and, consequently, subsequent shutdown of the System with the threat of freezing of coolants of diesel rolling stock, failure of rolling stock, which is unacceptable.

Also, in the prototype there is no additional heater for the driver’s cab for operation in a disconnected diesel generator set, and the operation of the standard heater fan leads to the discharge of a standard battery, lowering the air temperature in the driver’s cab.

The task, the solution of which is aimed at developing the claimed device, is to eliminate these disadvantages of the prototype.

In this case, the main technical result is the ability to control the consumption of diesel fuel in the tank of the diesel locomotive both consumed and during unauthorized discharge, registration and storage of recorded data on fuel consumption and system operation at the specific location of the diesel locomotive, which will provide an efficient search for rolling stock, timely troubleshooting and preventing freezing of coolants of the rolling stock, and will also ensure the establishment and places of unauthorized drainage of fuel.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the proposed Automated heating system of the locomotive “LOKOTERM” (ASPT “LOKOTERM”), containing a heater for the diesel cooling system, a heater for oil and fuel systems, which are connected through the fuel pumps to the fuel tank of the locomotive, are equipped with pumps for supplying water in the circulation circuits and are connected with the ventilation system to remove fuel combustion products, thermal control sensors in the circuits of the diesel cooling system, oil and fuel systems, a sensor voltage control on the battery, which is connected through the voltage conversion and stabilization unit to the control panel of the heater modes, which includes blocks of sound and light alarm on the diesel locomotive and a radio signal transmitter about the operation modes of the heaters for remote notification,

equipped with an air heater in the driver’s cab, sensors for determining the mass of diesel fuel are installed in the fuel tank, connected via the CAN interface used to connect the equipment and designed to supply power to the units and transmit information about the state of the system nodes to the registration unit connected to the unit mobile communications.

The system contains an alarm unit that receives the radio signals of the transmitter, is configured to digitally display the numbers of diesel locomotives and the operating modes of their heaters, and can be placed in the station duty room.

The registration unit is equipped with an information storage unit - a cartridge, configured to transmit information through the cartridge adapter to a personal computer.
