Through the friction of the car stopper on the track and the buffering force of the spring at the end of the car stopper, the impact force of the locomotive can be reduced, weakened and disappeared.
Function of car stopper
The car stopper is used for the end line of marshalling station, which plays a buffering and braking role when the vehicle is pushed or slipped, and prevents the vehicle from falling off the line or hitting the clods.
When there is no car stopper, iron shoes are usually stepped on the rail in front of the clod, which changes the rolling friction of the original wheels into sliding friction along the rail surface, so that the vehicle stops moving after sliding for a certain distance without hitting the clod. This is an iron shoe brake.
According to the verification data, the wheel-rail sliding friction coefficient (0. 15 ~ 0.20) is much larger than the rolling friction coefficient (about 0.002). The car stopper increases the friction resistance by increasing the sliding friction surface of the base, so as to achieve the braking effect.
