Abstract
To evaluate the matchability between brake valves and associated components of the brake system, a consistency-based matchability evaluation method for brake valves of heavy-duty trains was proposed in this paper. Considering the control accuracy and response speed of the brake system, characteristic parameters of the brake cylinder equilibrium pressure and the response time to reach 90% of the target brake cylinder pressure were extracted as evaluation indicators. The entropy weight method was adopted to allocate weights to evaluation indicators. The optimal Latin hypercube sampling method was used to design operating conditions, and the dual-factor impact of the equivalent output area and equivalent leakage diameter of brake valves on the evaluation indicators was analysed. The matchability of the brake valve was assessed, and the effectiveness of the evaluation method was validated. The proposed method holds significant guidance for the development and optimization of new brake valves.
