Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bogie inspection, in particular to a bogie inspection system. Background Art
[0002] Bogie inspection refers to the inspection and record of the assembly quality of the bogie assembled after maintenance. The current process is mostly manual recording and manual judgment. The current operation mode has the following pain points: the inspection of bogies is basically manual, and the inspection standards are difficult to unify; the quality of camera and flashlight photography varies greatly, and spot checks and traceability are difficult; manual work is intensive and the maintenance efficiency is low, which cannot meet future efficiency improvement requirements.
[0003] Currently, there is a method to achieve intelligent detection through a truss, but the top robot moves on the two-axis module on the truss, the base strength requirements are high, the truss needs to be made very large, and the space requirements are high. The equipment occupies a large area on the ground, especially the horizontal direction perpendicular to the track. Because the robot's movement range must be completely inside the truss, if there are parallel tracks next door, the bogie may interfere with the equipment's column and cannot pass through; the truss has poor portability because the equipment occupies a large space and cannot be installed in some EMU depots or needs to redo the infrastructure separately. The truss requires high installation accuracy across the trench. After the robot path is transplanted, it may be inaccurate due to positioning and other problems; the truss will cost more because it requires more actuators, more materials, and occupies a larger area, so it also requires higher processing costs.
