Abstract

The significant increase in speed of high-speed train will cause the dynamic contact force of the pantograph-catenary system to fluctuate more severely, which poses a challenge to the study of the pantograph-catenary relationship and the design of high-speed pantographs. Good pantograph-catenary coupling quality is the essential condition to ensure safe and efficient operation of high-speed train, stable and reliable current collection, and reduction in the wear of contact wires and pantograph contact strips. Among them, the dynamic parameters of high-speed pantographs are crucial to pantograph-catenary coupling quality. With the reduction of the standard deviation of the pantograph-catenary contact force as the optimization goal, multi-parameter joint optimization designs for the high-speed pantograph with two contact strips at multiple running speeds are proposed. Moreover, combining the sensitivity analysis at the optimal solutions, with the parameters and characteristics of in-service DSA380 high-speed pantograph, the optimization proposal of DSA380 was given.
