What are the structures of the mining electric locomotive?

2021-10-06
        The mining electric locomotive is roughly divided into two parts: the driver's cab and the body.
        The driver’s cab is the control center of the electric locomotive, where the master controller, brake switch, sanding switch, gas cut-off device, electronic horn switch, lighting (warning) light switch, electronic horn and lighting (warning) light are placed in the driver’s safety Above the front of the room.
        The body is the main body of the electric locomotive, in which the electric motor, spring bracket, reduction box, wheel set, braking device, and sanding device are placed, and the battery or pantograph is installed above the body.
        The role of the master controller is to control the running, stopping and driving direction of the electric locomotive. Sometimes the switches of horns and lights are also integrated into the master controller.
        Horns and lights are used to send signals to the surroundings, but the lights also have the purpose of lighting.
        The gas power cut-off device will monitor the methane concentration in the air in real time, and issue a warning when the concentration reaches a certain value or even directly cut off the power.
        The electric motor provides power for the electric locomotive, and the spring bracket reduces the damage to the motor due to vibration during driving.
        The gearbox converts the speed and torque output by the motor into an appropriate size, and then transmits it to the wheel set.
        The function of the braking device is to make the electric locomotive stop quickly, and the function of the sanding device is to assist braking or driving.
