Inventor: VU VIET H
IPC: H01M50/583
Filed: 1997-04-10
Abstract: A current interrupt mechanism for electrochemical cells is disclosed. A thermally activated current interrupt mechanism is integrated into an end cap assembly for an electrochemical cell. The thermally responsive mechanism preferably includes a free floating bimetallic disk which deforms when exposed to elevated temperature causing a break in an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. This prevents current from flowing through the cell and effectively shuts down an operating cell. Alternatively, the thermally responsive mechanism may include a meltable mass of material which melts when exposed to elevated temperature to break an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. The end cap assembly may also include integrated therein a pressure responsive current interrupt mechanism. If the internal gas pressure within an operating cell exceeds a predetermined value, the pressure responsive mechanism activates to sever an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly to prevent current from passing through the cell. The pressure responsive mechanism may include a diaphragm which ruptures when there is extreme gas pressure buildup. Gas is allowed to escape from the cell interior to the external environment through a series of vent apertures within the end cap assembly.

Abstract: A pneumatic trainline control unit receives air from a first
pneumatic trainline which it uses to charge and maintain pressure in
a second pneumatic trainline. It also provides brake control
pressure to a universal pneumatic brake unit (100) on a rail vehicle upon
receiving an emergency braking request from the second trainline.
The pneumatic trainline control unit (700) includes an air piloted
transfer valve (710), an air piloted maintaining valve (713), a charging magnet
valve (711), an emergency release magnet valve (712), a low pressure switch (715), an
air piloted vent valve (714) and a pipe network. The pipe network allows
the first trainline (9) to supply air to the transfer valve, the
charging valve and the maintaining valve. The transfer valve
features a transfer pilot port. It connects a command port of the
pneumatic trainline control unit to atmosphere unless its transfer
pilot port receives the emergency braking request in which case it
connects the pipe network to the command port. The low pressure
switch closes if the second trainline (3) charges to a preset pressure.
Upon closure of the pressure switch and a manually initiated command
from the controller, the charging valve allows the pipe network to
charge the second trainline to a minimum threshold level. The
maintaining valve features a main pilot port. It permits the pipe
network to keep the second trainline charged unless pressure at its
main pilot port falls below the minimum threshold. When pressure in
the second trainline drops faster than a predetermined rate, the
vent valve vents the second trainline to atmosphere.
