The invention relates to the field of
train control, in particular to an air control valve and an air control valve
assembly. The air control valve comprises a main
piston valve, an auxiliary air cylinder inflation valve, an accelerated relieving air cylinder inflation valve, a partial relieving control valve and a
brake valve, wherein the initial states of the auxiliary air cylinder inflation valve, the accelerated relieving air cylinder inflation valve, the partial decreasing control valve and the
brake valve are all closed states; the main
piston valve comprises a valve core
assembly and a main valve spring; the valve core
assembly comprises a main
piston rod and a main piston; the main piston is installed in the middle of the main
piston rod, and the lower portion of the main
piston rod is sleeved with the main valve spring; a center cavity for accommodating the valve core assembly is divided into a driving chamber and a main valve spring chamber by the main piston; the driving chamber communicates with a
train pipe, the main valve spring is arranged in the main valve spring chamber, and the main valve spring chamber communicates with an auxiliary air cylinder; the valve core assembly slides up and down in the center cavity under the air pressure of the driving chamber, the air pressure of the main valve spring chamber and the action of the main valve spring, the effects such as partial decreasing, braking, relieving and pressure maintaining are achieved, the pressure of a
brake cylinder and the pressure of all air cylinders are controlled to be changed correspondingly; and finally, the air control valve and the air control valve assembly meet the application requirements of railway
freight trains under different working conditions.
