LOCOMOTIVE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B60T15/36 B60T13/26 

FIELD: traction railway rolling stock.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the arrangement of the brake line of locomotives and traction modules of a special self-propelled rolling stock. The pneumatic brake system of the locomotive consists of a power source for the pneumatic brake system with compressed air, pneumatic brake system control devices and braking devices, air ducts, including a brake line pipeline with end valves and fixed connecting sleeves, connected by an air supply line through the driver’s valve with an air line of the compressed air power source, outlet air line with an air distributor connected to a backup tank and a pipeline of brake cylinders. At each end of the pipeline of the brake line, in front of the end valve, a normally open solenoid valve is fixed to ensure the longitudinal alignment of its passage channel and the passage channel of the end valve.

EFFECT: remote purging of the brake line of the locomotive with compressed air without the maintenance personnel, increasing the level of safety for maintenance personnel, reducing the time for servicing the braking equipment of the locomotive.
