Research on Release Coupler Force of 20000 t Combined Trains on Shuohuang Railway
In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the 20 000 t combined train on the Shuohuang Railway and reduce the longitudinal force on the train during operation,this paper analyzes the influencing factors of the train's relief coupler force based on the operation data collected by the 20 000 t comprehensive inspection(test)locomotive on the Shuohuang Railway.A method for reducing the force on the 20 000 t train is proposed based on the different force characteristics of the long slope,"steep and gentle",and"concave slope"sections.
