Research on Dynamics Coupler Draftgear System of Heavy-Haul Locomotive

Publication: ICRT 2021

ABSTRACT

The action principle of a certain type of coupler draft gear system under longitudinal braking pressure is analyzed. Both the dynamic safety index of wheel-rail at the same braking speed and different free angles of coupler are studied. The influence of swing angle of coupler on wheelset lateral forces are simulated based on the dynamic theory. The results show that, for the marshalling train mode, the wheel-rail dynamic safety index meets the operation requirements as the maximum free tilt angle of coupler is 3°. Once the maximum free tilt angle of the coupler reaches 4°, the wheelset lateral force can’t meet the requirements of safe operation. The longitudinal compressive force and the reset function of coupler have effects on the locomotive flange wear.
