Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of track equipment, and in particular to a performance test platform and a test method for a contact network thermal defect detection device. Background Art
[0002] While electrified railways offer speed, energy efficiency, and high efficiency, ensuring the safe operation of the catenary system in their traction power supply system is a crucial component. However, as line lengths increase and train speeds rise, ensuring reliable operation becomes increasingly challenging, and the workload for routine maintenance and inspections also increases. Due to the widespread distribution of catenary lines, complex equipment structures, volatile operating environments, and the lack of backup lines, monitoring equipment operating status and promptly identifying and eliminating potential hazards is an effective way to mitigate catenary faults and ensure safe train operation. Temperature measurement of the catenary during current-carrying operation directly reflects the reliability of contact at each connection point within the main current circuit. A roof-mounted cooled infrared thermal imager captures real-time temperature images of catenary components. Combined with visible light camera images, image processing and intelligent recognition technologies are used to track temperature changes in key catenary components, enabling the timely identification of thermal defects and potential faults.

[0024] Specifically, based on the present invention, the manufacturer can automatically inspect the catenary components of the catenary thermal defect detection system, including insulation and metal heating defects. The specific technical solutions are as follows: Using the present invention to test the nine-grid temperature measurement function of the catenary thermal defect detection system 1.1 Verification process of nine-grid temperature measurement consistency The inspection process of nine-grid temperature measurement is as Figure 1 shown. The detailed operation steps are as follows: 1) Start the intelligent platform; 2) Control the trolley to move in front of the nine-grid display platform through the intelligent platform, ensuring that the collected image can completely capture the nine-grid area; 3) Manually adjust the blackbody temperature to 100 °C, and the intelligent platform sends instructions to control the horizontal / vertical sliding table to move and place the blackbody in squares 1...9 in sequence, and record the blackbody temperatures C1...C9 collected 9 times.
[0025] According to the obtained blackbody temperatures C1...C9, calculate T = |Ct - C5| (t = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9). If T is less than 2, it meets the factory requirements.
[0026] 2. Using the present invention to test the temperature measurement accuracy function of the central area of the catenary thermal defect detection system Verification process of temperature measurement accuracy in the central area The inspection process of temperature measurement accuracy in the central area is as Figure 2 shown. The detailed operation steps are as follows: 1) Start the intelligent platform; 2) Control the trolley to move in front of the nine-grid display platform through the intelligent platform, ensuring that the collected image can completely capture the nine-grid area; 3) Adjust the blackbody temperature to 50 °C, 100 °C, 150 °C, and 200 °C in sequence; 4) The intelligent platform sends instructions to control the horizontal / vertical sliding table to move and place the blackbody in square 5 in sequence; 5) Output the collected blackbody temperatures C1, C2, C3, and C4 in sequence.
[0027] Based on the obtained blackbody temperatures C1, C2, C3, and C4, calculate T1=|C1-50|, T2=|C2-100|, T3=|C3-150|, and T4=|C4-200| respectively. If T1, T2, T3, and T4 are all less than or equal to 2, the factory requirements are met.
[0028] Heterogeneous image fusion registration verification process The heterogeneous image fusion verification process is designed to verify the accuracy and reliability of the contact line thermal defect detection system when fusing images from different sources (such as infrared thermal imagers and visible light cameras). The following are the detailed steps of this verification process: 1. Start the smart platform: First, start the intelligent control system of the performance test platform to ensure that all components (infrared thermal imager, visible light camera, image acquisition system, etc.) are in standby mode and ready to receive instructions.
[0029] 2. Configure the test environment: A test area was set up on the catenary system, ensuring that it encompassed a variety of catenary components (such as insulators, dropper clamps, and disconnectors) to comprehensively test image fusion and registration capabilities. The parameters of the infrared and visible light cameras were adjusted to ensure that the image clarity captured during the test met the required standards for identifying key catenary components. Image clarity was measured using Laplacian variance, with a standard of ≥ 100 (adjustable) to eliminate blurry images.
[0030] 3. Move the car to the test position: The intelligent platform controls the trolley, which moves along a track to the front of the test area. To ensure coverage of all critical component areas, the fields of view of the infrared thermal imager and visible light camera are calibrated. The mobile platform also fine-tunes the test position several times along the track to ensure that key components (such as heating string clamps and heating insulators) are fully within the field of view. During this process, the boundaries and viewing angles of the captured image are monitored in real time, and the docking position is dynamically adjusted when necessary using an image ROI detection algorithm. 4. Start image acquisition: The image acquisition function is activated on the intelligent platform, controlling both the infrared thermal imager and the visible light camera to simultaneously capture images of the test area. Before image acquisition, the camera system calibration parameters (including exposure, gamma correction, and infrared thermal imaging pseudo-color range) must be loaded through the intelligent platform. Once acquisition begins, the infrared thermal imager captures the thermal distribution of each contacting component, while the visible light image provides the component's structural outline and identifying features. The two are aligned using timestamps to form synchronized image data pairs. All images are cached in the intelligent platform's task processing module and enter the registration process.
[0031] 5. Image registration and fusion processing: The captured infrared and visible light images are uploaded to the intelligent platform for processing. The system first normalizes the infrared and visible light images to unify their resolution and align their scales. Key feature points (such as SIFT, ORB, and SURF) are then extracted for initial matching. The matching results are then filtered using the RANSAC method to remove mismatched points and estimate the homography matrix, which is then used to perform affine or perspective transformation registration. For scenes with complex backgrounds or low-texture images, a joint calibration model is also supported to directly perform coordinate mapping based on camera parameters.
[0032] In the fusion process, the infrared and visible light images are first fed into the convolutional encoding module for feature extraction. The fusion module then assigns weights for the thermal and texture signals using a channel-by-channel attention mechanism. Finally, the upsampling and reconstruction phase produces the fused image. This fused image not only preserves edge structure and color texture but also enhances the contrast and expressiveness of target areas (such as heat-generating components) in the thermal dimension. This fusion result is then used as input to the target recognition model to improve detection accuracy.
[0033] 6. Verify the fusion results: The system automatically compares the fused image with the original image based on template matching and keypoint (SIFT / ORB) descriptors and assesses registration accuracy (e.g., average keypoint matching offset <3 pixels). Manual verification is also available to confirm that key components (such as heating cables and insulators) are positioned consistently in both images and have good edge alignment.
[0034] The quality of the fusion effect can be judged by the following quantitative indicators: Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) ≥ 0.85: used to measure the consistency of image structure, brightness, and texture; Mutual Information (MI) ≥ threshold (e.g., 1.0): indicates the degree of effective information sharing between the fused image and the source image; Edge-Based Similarity (EBS) ≥ 0.9: used to determine whether the outline clarity is preserved. Chi-square distance χ² (such as for histogram difference) ≤ threshold (such as 0.3): measures the difference in overall distribution between the fused image and the original image.
[0035] If more than two of the above indicators meet the set threshold, the fusion quality is judged to be good.
[0036] 7. Record and analyze data: Record key indicators such as acquisition time, temperature value, image registration offset, and signal-to-noise ratio after fusion; and generate an inspection report to determine whether the fusion registration effect meets factory requirements.
[0037] 8. Adjustment and optimization: To improve the stability and generalization of the fusion registration algorithm, the system automatically summarizes the fusion image's registration offset and fusion performance metrics (such as SSIM, MI, and the number of keypoint matches) after testing and generates an analysis report. The platform offers a variety of built-in image fusion algorithms (such as multi-scale wavelet fusion, CNN feature splicing, and attention-guided fusion).
[0038] Based on the evaluation results, testers can adjust parameters such as image resolution scaling, feature extraction thresholds, and fusion weight coefficients, or switch to different algorithm modules and re-execute the registration and fusion process. For image pairs with large errors, advanced registration strategies (such as sparse feature registration combined with dense flow field correction) can be used to improve registration accuracy.
[0039] All optimization iterations record configuration parameters and evaluation data through the intelligent platform, and support comparison of multiple version fusion results to ultimately determine the optimal model configuration to meet factory consistency requirements.
[0040] 9. End of measurement: When all test steps are completed and the results meet the requirements, the measurement is terminated and the test data and report are saved. Through the above steps, the performance of the contact network thermal defect detection system in heterogeneous image fusion and registration can be fully verified, ensuring that it can accurately and reliably detect thermal defects in contact network components in practical applications.
[0041] Absolute high temperature alarm inspection process is as follows Figure 3 The detailed steps are as follows: 1) Launch the smart platform; 2) Use the intelligent platform to control the trolley to move in front of the overhead contact network device to ensure that the disconnector is within the image acquisition range; 3) Set the temperature of the heating plate to 80°C through the intelligent platform and check whether the intelligent platform generates a third-level absolute high temperature alarm file; set the temperature of the heating plate to 120°C and check whether a second-level absolute high temperature alarm file is generated; set the temperature of the heating plate to 160°C and check whether a first-level absolute high temperature alarm file is generated; 4) Set different thresholds for the heater temperature to simulate the high-temperature alarm of the isolation switch. If the alarm file is generated normally, the factory requirements are met; 5) End measurement.
[0042] 5. Using the present invention to test the temperature difference alarm detection of the contact network thermal defect detection system The detailed steps of the suspected insulator heating inspection process are as follows: 1) Launch the smart platform; 2) Use the intelligent platform controller to move the trolley to the front of the contact network device to ensure that the insulator is within the image acquisition range; 3) Set the heating plate to different temperatures through the intelligent platform; 4) The intelligent platform receives images collected by infrared thermal imagers and visible light; 5) Identify contact network components based on the image, obtain the maximum and average temperatures of the components, and if the component is an insulator, calculate whether the temperature difference reaches the alarm threshold; 6) If the component is not an insulator or metal, proceed to step 4 to calculate other components; 7) If the component is an insulator and the calculated temperature difference does not reach the alarm threshold, continue to step 4 to calculate other components; 8) The intelligent platform receives the alarm, displays the suspected hot insulator heating image and alarm details, and sets the heating plate temperature to 40°C, 32°C, and 28°C (the ambient temperature is 25°C) through the intelligent platform. The intelligent platform generates the first, second, and third level alarm files for the suspected insulator heating defect in turn.
[0043] 9) Set different threshold heater temperature to simulate suspected insulator heating defects. If the alarm file is generated normally, the factory requirements are met. 10) End the measurement.
[0044] The detailed steps of the suspected metal fever inspection process are as follows: 1) Launch the smart platform; 2) Use the intelligent platform controller to move the trolley to the front of the contact network device to ensure that the insulator is within the image acquisition range; 3) Set the heating plate to different temperatures through the intelligent platform; 4) The intelligent platform receives images collected by infrared thermal imagers and visible light; 5) Identify the contact network components based on the image and obtain the maximum and average temperatures of the components. If the components are metal, calculate whether the relative temperature difference reaches the alarm threshold; 6) If the component is not an insulator or metal, proceed to step 4 to calculate other components; 7) If the component is metal and the calculated relative temperature difference does not reach the alarm threshold, proceed to step 4 to calculate other components; 8) The intelligent platform receives the alarm and displays the suspected hot metal heating image and alarm details.
