DEVICE TO ADJUST HEAT CONTROL HARDWARE OF ROLLING STOCK RUNNING GEAR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B61K9/04 B61K9/06 G01M11/00 F16D66/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: device to adjust heat control hardware (HCH) of rolling stock running gear comprises supporting structure with outer casing, IR-radiation source imitating heated axle-box, modulator, modulator rotation drive, control components and connector assembly for the device to be connected to HCH to be adjusted. The proposed device incorporates fan to blow the modulator over by outside air, modulator position pickup, thermal screen and shutter made from different-heat conductivity materials and representing disks provided with different number of holes. The said disks are arranged between modulator and radiator and fitted unfixed on motor shaft. The device comprises also microprocessor controller p.c.b., control components and display to output temperatures and HCH adjustment conditions. The modulator is made up of two disks with holes, i.e. outer metal disk making the aforesaid thermal shield, and bearing disk made from heat-insulation material. Both disks are rigidly fitted on the motor shaft spaced a bit apart. The IR-radiation source incorporates electric heater and radiator temperature pickup.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of adjustment, reduced adjustment time.
