Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of data monitoring, and in particular to a pantograph fault prediction method, system, medium, device, and program product. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of rail transit in my country, the technical requirements for high-speed trains are increasing. As the core component of the pantograph for power supply to high-speed trains, the pantograph-catenary system has a direct impact on the train's operational safety and energy efficiency due to its dynamic performance and contact stability.
[0003] Currently, the design and operation maintenance of the pantograph-catenary system of high-speed trains mainly rely on simulation and testing. Traditional methods depend on manual on-site measurement or catenary inspection vehicles, which are inefficient, labor-intensive, difficult to achieve real-time monitoring across the entire line, and prone to missed detections and false alarms. Recently, sensor threshold alarms or static image analysis have been widely used, but these methods are slow to respond to latent faults such as internal cracks in carbon sliding plates and fatigue deformation of the frame, and cannot quantify the mechanical state (such as stress concentration), leading to the failure of early warnings. Another method is offline monitoring based on electrical detection (such as resistance / current changes), but this detection method is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, can only identify "large offline" faults, and is difficult to detect small sparks and attitude anomalies; traditional numerical simulation (such as finite element analysis) is time-consuming (on the order of minutes), which cannot meet the second-level response requirements of high-speed trains.
[0004] Therefore, how to improve the fault detection of pantographs on high-speed trains in order to improve the operational safety and energy efficiency of the pantograph-catenary system is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Optionally, after initializing the approximate model corresponding to the approximate model type using the performance data to obtain the equivalent proxy model, the method further includes:
[0028] The credibility of the approximate model is evaluated. If the approximate model is credible, it is used to replace the simulation program of the pantograph core component, and the equivalent proxy model is encapsulated into a standardized simulation file.

This ensures that the contact force between the pantograph and the catenary meets design requirements during actual operation, thereby guaranteeing stable pantograph operation and reducing the risk of failures due to abnormal contact force. Secondly, by incorporating multiple factors, including connection stiffness, damping, pantograph-catenary contact parameters, and the stiffness and damping of the pantograph head spring, the analysis of the pantograph becomes more comprehensive, allowing for a more accurate understanding of its operating characteristics and providing a more reliable basis for subsequent fault prediction. By constructing an equivalent proxy model of the pantograph's core components, a refined analysis of these components can be achieved, simulating the stress distribution of the core components during actual operation, thus providing a direct basis for assessing the probability of failure. By determining the failure probability of each core component of the pantograph through the stress distribution output by the equivalent proxy model, the quantification and scientification of fault prediction are realized, enabling a more accurate assessment of fault risk and providing scientific decision support for pantograph maintenance and management.

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a pantograph fault prediction method provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method includes:
[0055] S101: Obtain the pantograph dynamics model;
[0056] S102: Using the key parameters in the pantograph dynamic model as design variables, and taking the pantograph-catenary contact force as the target value, the parameter inversion calculation process is called to iteratively calculate the combination of key pantograph parameters that meet the target value; the key parameters include at least one of the following: connection stiffness, damping, pantograph-catenary contact parameters, pantograph head spring stiffness, and damping.
[0057] S103: Determine the corresponding pantograph core components based on the combination of key pantograph parameters;
[0058] S104: Construct an equivalent proxy model corresponding to the core components of the pantograph;
[0059] S105: Determine the failure probability of each pantograph core component based on the stress distribution output by the equivalent proxy model corresponding to all the pantograph core components.
[0060] There are no restrictions on how the pantograph dynamic model is constructed. The dynamic model of the pantograph is established by combining theoretical analysis and experimental verification. This model needs to consider various forces and motion characteristics of the pantograph during operation, including the interaction force between the pantograph head and the contact wire, the vibration characteristics of the pantograph, and its relationship with factors such as train speed.
[0061] One feasible implementation method may include the following steps:
[0062] The first step is to construct a rigid-flexible coupling dynamic simulation model that is proportional to the current collection experimental platform of the pantograph and wire mesh.
[0063] The second step is to set up simulation conditions and, based on each simulation condition, call the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic simulation model to perform dynamic experiments.
[0064] The third step is to extract the time-domain data of the change of the pantograph-catenary contact force over time during the dynamic experiment.
[0065] The fourth step is to use the time-domain data as the target value to perform parameter inversion and obtain the pantograph dynamic model.
[0066] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the construction of the pantograph dynamics model provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2The pantograph-catenary system is divided into three parts: a six-degree-of-freedom platform, a robotic arm, and the pantograph. In implementation, precise geometric models of the pantograph and contact network are created using 3D modeling software, based on the actual dimensions and structure of the current collection experimental platform. The model dimensions must be completely consistent with the actual experimental platform, including the pantograph's sliding plate, support, connecting components, and the contact network's conductor and suspension device. During the construction of the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic simulation model, corresponding material properties, such as elastic modulus, density, and Poisson's ratio, need to be assigned to each component. The pantograph sliding plate is typically made of carbon fiber, while the contact network conductor is made of copper alloy. Other structural components have their parameters set according to the actual materials. Simultaneously, the flexible components of the pantograph (such as the sliding plate and the pantograph head) are coupled with the rigid components (such as the pantograph frame and connecting parts). A rigid-flexible coupling dynamic model is established using multibody dynamics software, and the deformation characteristics of the flexible components are introduced by defining the modal analysis results of the flexible body. Furthermore, the contact relationship between the pantograph sliding plate and the contact network conductor needs to be defined in the simulation model. The calculation method for contact force is set, including the calculation formulas for normal contact force and tangential contact force, taking into account factors such as friction coefficient and contact pressure.
[0067] When setting up simulation conditions, various simulation conditions are defined based on the actual operating scenario and research needs. Common conditions include different operating speeds (e.g., low, medium, and high speeds), different contact wire tensions, different changes in contact wire height, and different pantograph lifting pressures. In the dynamic simulation software, corresponding parameters are set according to the defined conditions. For example, the pantograph's operating speed, the contact wire tension, and the geometric changes of the conductor are adjusted. After the simulation conditions and parameters are determined, the simulation software can be started to run the dynamic simulation experiment. The simulation software can calculate the dynamic behaviors such as the interaction force, trajectory, and vibration response between the pantograph and the contact wire based on the set conditions and model parameters. During the simulation experiment, simulation results are recorded in real time, including key data such as the pantograph's position, velocity, acceleration, and contact force. This data will serve as the basis for subsequent analysis.
[0068] Contact force data between the pantograph and the overhead contact line is extracted from the output of dynamic simulation software. Typically, this data is stored as a time series, including normal and tangential contact forces. To ensure accuracy, preliminary processing of the extracted contact force data can be performed, such as noise removal and smoothing. During data analysis, time-domain analysis can be conducted on the processed contact force data to observe its variation over time. Analyzing the peak value, frequency, and fluctuation range of the contact force reveals characteristics reflecting the interaction between the pantograph and the overhead contact line.
[0069] Parameter inversion yields a pantograph dynamics model that most closely approximates actual operating conditions, improving the model's prediction accuracy and reliability. No specific limitations are placed on the parameter inversion methods that can be used, including but not limited to least squares, genetic algorithms, and particle swarm optimization. The objective function is typically the error between the target value (time-domain data) and the model's predicted value. The selected optimization algorithm is used to optimize the parameters in the pantograph dynamics model. During optimization, the model parameters are continuously adjusted to minimize the objective function value, meaning the model-predicted contact force is closest to the actual time-domain data. After optimization, the obtained pantograph dynamics model is validated using some unoptimized time-domain data. By comparing the model's predictions with the actual data, the model's accuracy and reliability are evaluated.
[0070] Specifically, key parameters in the pantograph dynamics model and target values for pantograph-catenary contact force can be set first. Then, the pantograph dynamics model can be run based on the key parameters and target values to conduct simulation experiments and obtain simulation results.
[0071] Compare the simulation results with the target values, calculate the error value, and then iteratively adjust the design variables using the set optimization algorithm until the error value meets the set error range. Finally, output the combination of key pantograph parameters that meets the target value.
[0072] Based on the physical meaning of the pantograph dynamics model and actual requirements, key parameters affecting the pantograph-catenary contact force are selected. Simultaneously, target values for the pantograph-catenary contact force are set based on actual operational requirements or experimental data. Target values can be the average value, peak value, or fluctuation range of the contact force. For example, the target value can be set as an average contact force within a certain range (e.g., 20-30 N), with a fluctuation range not exceeding 10 N.
[0073] Input the key parameter values set in the first step into the pantograph dynamic model, start the dynamic simulation software, and run the simulation experiment. Based on the set key parameters, calculate the interaction process between the pantograph and the overhead contact line, and obtain the simulation results. Extract the simulation results from the simulation software, focusing on the time-domain data of the pantograph-catenary contact force as a function of time, for subsequent error calculation.
[0074] When calculating the error value, you can choose an appropriate error calculation method, such as root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), or maximum error.
[0075] Choose a suitable optimization algorithm, such as a genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, or gradient descent. During optimization, first initialize the values of the design variables (i.e., key parameters), run the pantograph dynamics model, obtain simulation results, and calculate the error value. Use the optimization algorithm to adjust the values of the design variables to reduce the error value. Repeat the above process until the error value is no greater than the set error interval. When the error value meets the set error interval, output the current combination of design variables (key parameters). These parameter combinations ensure that the simulation results of the pantograph dynamics model are as close as possible to the target values.
[0076] In step S103, based on the key parameter combinations obtained in S102, the structure and function of the pantograph are analyzed to identify the core components directly related to the key parameters. For example, the stiffness and damping of the connection points may be related to the pantograph's support structure, while the stiffness and damping of the bow head spring are related to the bow head assembly. By analyzing the impact of key parameters on pantograph performance, the core components of the pantograph are identified, avoiding the computational complexity and resource waste caused by a comprehensive analysis of the entire pantograph.
[0077] In step S104, an equivalent surrogate model is constructed for each core component of the pantograph. The equivalent surrogate model can be implemented by simplifying the physical model, using numerical methods (such as finite element analysis), or by data-driven methods (such as machine learning models). This model needs to accurately reflect the stress distribution of the pantograph's core components during actual operation. For example, for the pantograph's support structure, an equivalent surrogate model can be constructed using finite element analysis software to simulate the stress distribution under different operating conditions.
[0078] In one feasible implementation approach, the construction process of the equivalent proxy model can be as follows:
[0079] The first step is to obtain the design variables and design space of the pantograph core component; the design space is the range of values for the design variables.
[0080] The second step is to conduct design experiments on the pantograph core component to obtain performance data of the pantograph core component under different combinations of design variables.
[0081] The third step is to determine the corresponding approximate model type based on the data characteristics of the pantograph core components.
[0082] Fourth step: Initialize the approximate model corresponding to the approximate model type using the performance data to obtain the equivalent proxy model.
[0083] Identify the core components of the pantograph system, such as the pantograph slide, pantograph head, and pantograph frame. For each core component, determine its design variables. Design variables can be geometric parameters (such as the length, width, and thickness of the slide), material properties (such as elastic modulus and density), and operating parameters (such as lifting pressure and contact force). Define a reasonable range of values for each design variable, i.e., the design space.
[0084] Based on the design variables and design space determined in the first step, design the experimental plan. Experimental design methods (such as Latin hypercube design or orthogonal experimental design) can be used to reasonably arrange the experimental points to ensure that the experiment covers all areas of the design space. Prepare the necessary equipment and materials for the experiment, including prototypes of the pantograph core components, test platforms, sensors, etc. Adjust the values of the design variables one by one according to the experimental design plan, and conduct the experiment.
[0085] Analyze the acquired performance data to understand its characteristics. Based on these characteristics, select an appropriate approximation model type. This approximation model type includes, but is not limited to, multinomial models, vector machine models, and neural network models.
[0086] Based on the selected approximation model type, the model is initialized using performance data. The initialized model is then validated using data not used in model training to evaluate its predictive accuracy. Common validation metrics include root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). Based on the validation results, the model is optimized and adjusted. For example, model parameters (such as the order of the polynomial, the number of layers in the neural network, and the number of nodes) are adjusted to improve predictive accuracy. After optimization and adjustment, the final equivalent surrogate model is obtained. This model can be used to quickly predict the performance of the pantograph's core components under different combinations of design variables. Thus, an equivalent surrogate model that accurately reflects the performance of the pantograph's core components is obtained. This model can replace complex physical experiments or numerical simulations, quickly evaluate the performance of different design schemes, and significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of design optimization.
[0087] For example, see the boom. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the generation process of the equivalent surrogate model of the upper arm provided in the embodiment of the present invention. The magnitude of the force on the upper arm during the pantograph-catenary contact motion under different working conditions is extracted. The sample is sampled through the ISIGHT platform, and the stress and deformation results of the upper arm under all sample working conditions are calculated. The equivalent surrogate model of the upper arm with FMU (Functional Mock-up Unit) as the carrier is generated through sample training. It is used for rapid performance prediction of the diagnostic system with a response rate of milliseconds.
[0088] In one feasible implementation, after obtaining the equivalent proxy model, the credibility of the approximate model is evaluated. If the approximate model is credible, the approximate model is used to replace the simulation program of the pantograph core component, and the equivalent proxy model is packaged into a standardized simulation file.
[0089] In step S105, the stress distribution output from the equivalent surrogate model of each pantograph core component is combined with the fatigue limit, ultimate tensile strength, and other characteristics of the material. The failure probability of each pantograph core component is calculated using probabilistic statistical methods (such as Monte Carlo simulation). Specifically, based on the stress distribution, the stress changes of the component during long-term operation are simulated to assess the probability that it exceeds the material limit, thereby determining the failure probability.
[0090] In one feasible implementation, when assessing the failure probability of the pantograph's core components, a 3D graphical representation can be used to render the pantograph's 3D status in real time, overlaying a failure probability heatmap and a stress distribution cloud map. This allows maintenance personnel to remotely perform multi-angle interactive analysis and quickly locate potential hazards. This function is significantly superior to a single-platform solution, improving dispatch response efficiency. A feasible specific implementation process can be as follows:
[0091] The first step is to map the stress distribution output by the equivalent proxy model corresponding to all the pantograph core components into several heat maps;
[0092] The second step is to overlay the heat map onto the digital twin of the pantograph to obtain a visual schematic diagram of the pantograph.
[0093] The third step is to determine the failure probability of each pantograph core component using a set reliability analysis method and the aforementioned pantograph visualization diagram.
[0094] Step 4: Overlay the fault probability distribution map corresponding to the fault probability onto the pantograph visualization diagram, and use color coding to represent different fault probabilities.
[0095] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the cross-platform 3D visualization implementation process provided in this embodiment of the invention. A 3D visualization system can be developed based on Unity URP (Universal Render Pipeline), mapping the stress distribution output by the equivalent proxy model to a heatmap, which is then overlaid onto the pantograph digital twin. The XR interaction protocol supports visualization terminals for pantograph status monitoring. This visualization terminal can include VR headsets (remote experts), mobile devices (vehicle engineers), PC consoles (dispatch centers), etc., further enabling multi-terminal synchronous viewing of fault probability heatmaps.
[0096] This invention, through obtaining the pantograph's dynamic model and using its key parameters as design variables for parameter inversion calculation, can accurately determine the combination of key pantograph parameters that meet the target value of the pantograph-catenary contact force. This ensures that the contact force between the pantograph and the catenary meets design requirements during actual operation, thereby guaranteeing stable pantograph operation and reducing the risk of failures due to abnormal contact force. Secondly, by incorporating multiple factors, including connection stiffness, damping, pantograph-catenary contact parameters, and the stiffness and damping of the pantograph head spring, the analysis of the pantograph becomes more comprehensive, allowing for a more accurate understanding of its operating characteristics and providing a more reliable basis for subsequent fault prediction. Furthermore, by constructing an equivalent proxy model of the pantograph's core components, a refined analysis of these components can be achieved, simulating the stress distribution of the core components during actual operation, thus providing a direct basis for assessing the probability of failure. By using the stress distribution output by the equivalent surrogate model, the failure probability of each pantograph core component is determined, realizing the quantification and scientification of failure prediction. This enables a more accurate assessment of failure risks and provides scientific decision support for the maintenance and management of the pantograph.
