The invention discloses a real-time online
monitoring system for the wear conditions of
brake pads of a motor
train unit. The real-time online
monitoring system comprises a plurality of displacement sensors, a plurality of spokes / shaft front-end machines, a plurality of motor
train unit
carriage monitoring extensions and a motor
train unit monitoring host; the motor train unit monitoring host is connected with each motor train unit
carriage monitoring extension, the motor train unit
carriage monitoring extensions are connected with the corresponding spokes / shaft front-end machines, and the
spoke / shaft front-end machines are connected with the corresponding displacement sensors; the left side and the right side of each wheel disc type
disc brake caliper is each provided with a distance measuring sensor, the left side and the right side of each shaft disc type
disc brake caliper are each provided with a distance measuring sensor, when air braking is carried out on a motor train unit, thedistance measuring sensors installed on the
brake calipers are close to
brake discs, and the distance between the each brake caliper and the corresponding brake disc is measured; and
eddy current sensors installed on the brake
calipers are used for measuring the travel distance to be compared with the distance of a new
brake pad, when the travel distance is larger than a set value, the monitoringsystem gives an alarm. The wear conditions of the brake pads of the motor train unit can be monitored online in real time so that the safety of trains of the motor train unit can be ensured, and thepersonal and property safety of passengers can be guaranteed.
