RAILWAY TRACTION VEHICLE BRAKE INTERLOCKING METHOD Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: railway transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to brake systems of railway traction vehicles, mainly, locomotives, motor cars and special self-propelled trains with more than one control posts. Possibility of control of railway vehicle brakes is defined by main procedure at which driver's valves are disconnected and connected to brake main line at inoperative and operating control posts, respectively. If necessary, additional operations are carried out, i.e. auxiliary brake valves are disconnected and connected with main line of brake cylinders in similar manner. These procedures provide possibility of switching on traction. Forced execution of said main procedure is provided for which purpose atmospheric cocks are installed by means of which main line taps of driver's valves are connected to and disconnected from atmosphere from inoperative and operating control posts. Charging of brake main line provides possibility of switching on traction only from operating control post which is provided by checking position of plug of atmospheric cock. If said additional procedure is to be executed, it is carried out together with carrying out of main procedure.

EFFECT: prevention of narrowing of channels to pass compressed air, provision of possibility of creation of traction only when brake main line is charged.
