Patent number: 11325477Abstract: An electrical brake energy feedback system, including a rectifier and inverter circuit, an intermediate DC circuit, a first voltage detection circuit configured to detect voltages of positive and negative terminals of the intermediate DC circuit to obtain a first voltage signal, a bidirectional DC/DC conversion circuit and/or a regeneration control circuit, and an electrical energy flow control circuit for controlling operating states of the bidirectional DC/DC conversion circuit and/or the regeneration control circuit according to the first voltage signal. With this system, the electrical brake energy can be recovered to the greatest extent when the vehicle is running in different zones, and the electrical brake energy consumed by the brake resistor is as little as possible. Accordingly, the vehicle and the entire transportation system can be more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: ZHUZHOU CRRC TIMES ELECTRIC CO., LTDInventors: Wenye Yuan, Xinjian Chen, Chaolu Chen, Lujun Zhang, Yong Liu, Lingjun Hu

Patent number: 10717421Abstract: A braking force distribution method and system for multiple marshalling train compartments are provided. The method includes: determining a current train compartment of multiple target marshalling train compartments, calculating current axel loads of axels of the current train compartment, and distributing braking forces for the axels of the current train compartment in a positive correlation manner based on the current axel loads of the axels. The braking forces of the axels are distributed by using an axel load compensation technology. A braking force generated by an axle with a small axle load is reduced according to a load-decreasing amount of the axle load, while a braking force generated by an axle with a great axle load is increased according to a load-increasing amount of the axle load, so that the braking forces generated by the axles match the axle loads.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignees: CRRC ZHUZHOU INSTITUTE CO., LTD., ZHUZHOU CRRC TIMES ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Wenguang Chen, Jing Shang, Xiong Liu, Chaolu Chen, Junfeng Xu, Huishui Peng, Hua Xiao, Wei Li, Bin Zhang, Long Wang, Anhui Ji
