doi:10.3901/JME.2019.14.132

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the low floor tram and the anti-kink hydraulic system introduced, the impact of important parameters in the anti-kink system on the anti-kink function and secondary damping functions of the hydraulic system is analyzed. A method of co-simulation of anti-kink hydraulic system and low-floor tram dynamic model is proposed, and the influence of anti-kink hydraulic system on the curve performance of low-floor trams is studied. The results show that the diameter of bypass orifice of main valve block and the spring stiffness of buffer cylinder mainly affect the anti-kink function of hydraulic system. The diameter of damping orifice of orifice block and the opening pressure of pressure-limiting valve mainly affect the damping function of hydraulic system. The co-simulation results show that the anti-kink system can well maintain the relative kink between vehicles, and inhibit the excessive lateral displacement and the relative displacement between the front and rear bodies. The co-simulation of anti-kink hydraulic system and tram dynamics model can be used to study the impact of the anti-kink hydraulic system on the performance of the train when the low-floor tram passes the curves.
