[0020] In order to further explain the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose, the specific implementation methods and structural features of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention relates to a gap monitoring system for monitoring the conversion resistance of a switch machine, which is characterized in that: it includes parameter monitoring of indoor equipment and outdoor equipment, the indoor equipment is composed of a gap host 1, a centralized monitoring device 2, a power supply screen 3 and a branching cabinet 4, and the outdoor equipment includes: a collection extension 5, a handheld terminal 6, an action connecting rod 7, a gap sensor 201, a temperature and humidity sensor 202, a conversion resistance sensor 203, and a current sensor 204.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the gap host 1 includes UPS101, isolation transformer 102, lightning protection module 103, carrier host 104, industrial computer 105, and display 106. The gap host 1 is electrically connected to the carrier host 104, industrial computer 105, and display 106 respectively. The 220V AC voltage is input from the power supply screen 3 and then subjected to power stabilization and filtering by UPS101 to power the equipment in the host. The indoor power supply is sent to the outdoors through the distribution board of the distribution cabinet 4 through the isolation transformer 102 to power the outdoor equipment such as the collection extension 5. There is a lightning protection module 103 on one side of the isolation transformer 102. The lightning protection module 103 is used to prevent the damage of high-voltage external electrical signals to indoor equipment; The gap host 1 is connected through the RJ45 network port, transmits the collected data through the communication protocol, and displays it on the centralized monitoring software interface of the centralized monitoring device 2.

[0023] During operation, when the switch machine is in motion, the motor current changes. At this time, the continuous conversion resistance data during the movement of the switch machine is collected and transmitted back to the room to form a curve after the action is completed. Through this curve, the conversion force of the switch machine, the working condition of the turnout, etc. can be analyzed. Regardless of whether the switch machine is in motion or not, the data received from the conversion resistance sensor 203 is sent to the room for display. When the conversion resistance is low or high, the turnout may have a risk of blocking, and an alarm is issued to remind the staff to maintain the turnout.

[0024] The outdoor equipment includes a data collection extension 5 and various sensors, and the outdoor equipment is installed inside the trackside equipment; the sensors include: a gap sensor 201, a temperature and humidity sensor 202, a conversion resistance sensor 203, and a current sensor 204.

The collected data is stored in the collection extension 5. After the conversion is completed, the data is transmitted back to the room through the collection extension 5 and displayed through the gap host 1.

[0027] The gap host 1 of the present invention includes UPS101, isolation transformer 102, lightning protection module 103, carrier host 104, industrial computer 105, and display 106. The gap host 1 is electrically connected to the carrier host 104, industrial computer 105, and display 106 respectively. The 220V AC voltage is input from the power supply panel and then subjected to power stabilization and filtering by UPS101 to power the equipment in the host. The indoor power is sent to the outdoors through the distribution board of the distribution cabinet through the isolation transformer 102 to power the outdoor equipment such as the collection extension 5. There is a lightning protection module 103 on one side of the isolation transformer 102. The lightning protection module 103 is used to prevent the damage of high-voltage external electrical signals to indoor equipment.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the conversion resistance sensor 203 selected in the present invention is sleeved on the connecting end of the action connecting rod 7 close to the connecting handle end, so that the conversion resistance sensor 203 will not reduce the reliability of the turnout conversion structure.

[0029] The present invention adopts a collection extension to integrate and record the conversion resistance data under different situations according to specific situations, and then sends it to the room through the collection extension to form a corresponding data curve for customer analysis.

[0030] In the present invention, when the switch machine is not operated, the static conversion resistance data collected by the conversion resistance sensor is collected by the collection extension and transmitted back to the indoor gap host 1 for display; when the switch machine is operated, all the conversion resistance data in the conversion process collected by the conversion resistance sensor is collected, packaged by the collection extension, and sent back to the indoor gap host 1 for display on a specific interface.

[0031] The handheld terminal of the present invention is used for checking the gap, temperature and humidity, conversion resistance and current value display outdoors.
