This paper investigates the aerodynamic behavior and dynamic characteristics of high-speed train pantographs under various operating conditions using advanced aerodynamic simulations and dynamic analyses. The simulations show significant fluctuations in aerodynamic loads during tunnel entry and exit, heavily influenced by train speed and pantograph position (raised/lowered). Modal simulations reveal distinct low-frequency vibrations in pantographs, significantly impacted by external aerodynamic forces. Importantly, the lowered position exposes the pantograph to upward aerodynamic forces, leading to increased bow-net contact force and off-line rate, ultimately compromising current collection stability. Both maximum contact force and off-line rate further increase with higher train speeds. To improve pantograph design, the paper proposes adjustments to the airbag’s equivalent spring stiffness and the bow head’s density. These modifications aim to mitigate contact force and enhance the stability and reliability of pantographs at high speeds. This research offers theoretical and practical insights, aiding in the design, optimization, and refinement of future pantograph systems. |
