Levitation stability is the very basis for the dynamic operation of Electromagnetic Suspension (EMS) medium-low speed maglev trains (MSMT). However, self-excited vibration tends to occur when the vehicle is standing still above the lightweight lines, which remains a major constraint to the promotion of medium-low speed maglev technology. In order to study the vertical vibration characteristics of the coupled system of MSMT when it is standing still above lightweight lines, levitation tests were carried out on two types of steel beams: steel beam and active girder of the turnout, with a newly developed maglev vehicle using levitation frames with mid-set air spring. Firstly, modal tests were carried out on the steel beam to determine its natural vibration characteristics; secondly, the acceleration signals and the dynamic displacement signals of the air spring obtained at each measurement point were analyzed in detail in both the time and frequency domains, and the vertical ride comfort was assessed by means of the calculated Sperling index. Subsequently, theoretical explanations were given for the occurrence of self-excited vibration of coupled system from the perspective of the vehicle-to-guideway vibration energy input. Results show that the eigen frequencies of the vehicle on the steel beam and the turnout are 9.65 Hz and 2.15 Hz, respectively, the former being close to the natural frequency of the steel beam while the latter being close to the natural frequency of the air spring suspension system, thus causing the self-excited vibration of the coupled system. It is recommended to either avoid the main eigen frequencies of the coupled system or to increase the damping of the corresponding vibration modes to guarantee a reliable coupled system for its long-term performance. These results may provide valuable references for the optimal design of medium-low speed maglev systems.

Suspension controller is the core device of suspension system of the medium and low speed maglev vehicle, its reliability directly affects the stability, reliability and safety operation of the whole medium and low speed maglev train. Reliability analysis is of great theoretical and practical value for improving the performance of the suspension controller. Taking Hunan Changsha maglev express as an application case, based on the mechanism and functional structure of the suspension controller, the reliability of the suspension controller is analyzed and studied. According to the Chinese standard GJB/Z 299C, the reliability prediction handbook for electronic equipment, the reliability of the suspension controller is calculated and analyzed by synthesizing the stress analysis method, the component counting method and the RBD reliability block diagram method. The reliability weak points of the suspension controller are analyzed, and the design optimization proposal is suggested to improve the suspension controller reliability. Background: Medium and low speed maglev traffic has gained wide attention and engineering application in China. It is very necessary to study the reliability of the medium and low speed maglev train. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to carry out reliability research on the levitation control system of medium low speed maglev train. Methods: The stress analysis method, component counting method and RBD reliability block diagram method are used to calculate and analyze the reliability of the suspension controller. Results: The reliability quantitative analysis results of the suspension controller are analyzed, and the reliability weakness of the suspension controller is analyzed and studied. A design optimization proposal to improve the reliability of the suspension controller is proposed. Conclusion: Through the reliability prediction analysis of the suspension controller, the reliability and weakness of the suspension controller can be determined, which provides theoretical guidance for the improvement of the design scheme and the performance optimization of the maglev train suspension controller.

In order to study and analyze the vibration response of simply supported box girder bridge-maglev vehicle, a 25 m span simply supported box girder bridge of Changsha Maglev Express was selected as the research object. Field tests were carried out to explore the dynamic response of maglev vehicle running on the bridge. Firstly, the dynamic characteristics of the bridge under the action of medium-low speed maglev train at different speeds were analyzed, and the vibration response of vehicle and bridge was studied at the design speed of 60∼130 km/h. Among them, the longitudinal acceleration of simply supported box girder ranged from 60 km/h to 130 km/h, which increased linearly with the speed of the train and reached the maximum 0.59 m/s2. Its longitudinal deflection also increased with the increase in train speed, which reached the maximum 1.605 mm at 130 km/h. When the speed is 130 km/h, the suspension gap of the maglev vehicle was concentrated in the range of 7.24∼11.50 mm. Through the test analysis, this study provides a basis for the vibration response analysis of simply supported box girder bridge-maglev train. It also provides a reference for the modification and formulation of relevant specifications and experimental verification for the acceleration work of medium-low speed maglev train in the future.
