Abstract

The electromagnetic valve of pneumatic doors of EMUs has a high failure rate due to air leakage because it supplies air on and off to operate the doors repeatedly. The electromagnetic valve is a very important safety component for which a very high reliability is required because failure makes it impossible to operate the passenger cars. However, domestic urban railway operators maintain electronic valves of the EMU door under a fixed cycle with a spare period according to the full overhaul cycle of the EMU. An improvement of the current maintenance cycle was suggested based on the reliability function and mission reliability. Using the statistical program MINITAB for the operational data of EMU line 6, we analyzed the characteristics of the fault distribution and derived the shape and scale parameters of the reliability function. If we limit the specific reliability probability to under a certain failure rate and calculate its statistical parameters, we can calculate the allowable inspection period with mission reliability. Through this study, we suggested a maintenance period based on RCM (reliability centered-maintenance) to improve the reliability of electromagnetic valves from 68% to 95%.

전동차의 공기 작동식 출입문을 작동하기 위한 공기를 공급 또는 차단의 역할을 하는 전자변은 고장발생시 승객의 안전은 물론 정상운행을 불가능하게 하는 중요한 부품이므로 높은 신뢰도가 요구되지만 누기로 인한 고장 비율이 높은 편이다. 국내 도시철도 운영기관들은 고정주기와 임의 여유기간을 적용한 전동차 중정비 주기로 전자변을 정비한다. 현행 중정비 주기 방식의 대안으로 고장 신뢰도를 고려한 정비주기를 제시하고자 지하철 6호선 전동차 전자변 고장 통계자료에 상용 통계프로그램(MINITAB)을 적용하여 신뢰도 함수(Reliability Function)와 임무신뢰도(Mission Reliability)를 계산하고 적정 정비주기를 도출하였다. 도출된 정비 주기는 현 4년 주기의 정비의 부품신뢰도를 68%에서 95%로 향상시키는 것이므로 전자변의 신뢰도를 획기적으로 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.
