The invention discloses a locomotive head with a sand scattering function, and belongs to the technical field of railway locomotives. The locomotive head comprises a locomotive power supply, a shaft speed sensor, a total air cylinder, a forward sand scattering switch, a backward sand scattering switch, a forward sand scattering structure and a backward sand scattering structure, and further comprises an electric control box and two sub-control boxes, wherein each sub-control box is arranged on one pneumatic manifold. Wind pressure sensors and second sand scattering electric air valves are arranged in the sub-control boxes. A direct-current converter, a control module and two sand scattering relays are arranged in the electric control box. The two sand scattering relays respectively correspond to one sub-control box. The locomotive head is simple in structure, ingenious in design, easy to implement, and beneficial to improving the automation level of an existing locomotive sand scattering system, and therefore the stability and safety of locomotive operation are improved. Meanwhile, by means of the locomotive head, the existing locomotive is easily modified and upgraded. The locomotive head has extremely good application prospect and economic benefit.
