[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic circuit technologies, and in particular, to a communication device for axle counting and an axle counting communication system. Background Art

[0002] Axle counting is a railway signal device that can detect the passing wheels. By detecting the number of wheels passing through a railway section, it can identify whether a train occupies the section and send the identification result of whether the section is occupied to the interlocking.

[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 , an axle counter communication system 100 is disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, including: an axle counter 101 and a communication device 102 applied to the axle counter.

[0036] In the axle counter communication system 100, the axle counter 101 generates and outputs a section occupancy result signal, and outputs the section occupancy result signal to the communication device 102 applied to the axle counter and connected to the axle counter 101.

[0037] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , in a specific embodiment of the present application, the axle counter includes a relay. The control end of the relay receives a control signal Q1, and the control signal can control the on / off of the relay. The first end of the relay receives a second power supply signal V2, and the second end of the relay outputs a section occupancy result signal Q2. When the section corresponding to the relay is in an idle state, the control signal Q1 controls the relay to close. At this time, the second end of the relay can receive the second power supply signal V2, that is, the section occupancy result signal Q2 output by the second end of the relay is a high-level signal. The control signal Q1 also controls the relay to open when the corresponding section is in an occupied state. At this time, the section occupancy result signal Q2 output by the second end of the relay is a low-level signal. Optionally, when the section corresponding to the relay is in an idle state, the control signal Q1 controls the relay to open. At this time, the second end of the relay does not receive the second power supply signal V2, that is, the section occupancy result signal Q2 output by the second end of the relay is a low-level signal. The control signal Q1 also controls the relay to close when the corresponding section is in an occupied state. At this time, the second end of the relay receives the second power supply signal V2, and the output section occupancy result signal Q2 is a high-level signal.

[0038] Optionally, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the control signal is generated according to the wheel number information collected by the axle counter 101. The axle counter sensor in the axle counter 101 can count the number of wheels passing through the section corresponding to the axle counter 101. When the number of wheels entering the section corresponding to the axle counter 101 is equal to the number of wheels leaving the section corresponding to the axle counter 101, it indicates that the section where the axle counter 101 is located is in an idle state. When the number of wheels entering the section corresponding to the axle counter 101 is not equal to the number of wheels leaving the section corresponding to the axle counter 101, it indicates that the section where the axle counter 101 is located is in an occupied state. The axle counter 101 then generates a corresponding control signal according to the section occupancy result to control the on / off of the relay.

[0039] In the communication device 102 applied to axle counters, the acquisition unit connected to the axle counter 101 acquires the section occupancy result signal output by the axle counter 101 and sends it to multiple processing units respectively. After each processing unit receives the section occupancy result signal, it will identify the section occupancy result signal to obtain the corresponding section occupancy result information, and store some information in the section occupancy result information. Among them, the partial information stored by the processing unit includes: check fragment information and output fragment information. For each processing unit, there is a corresponding processing unit. The position of the check fragment information stored by the processing unit in the section occupancy result information is the same as the position of the output fragment information stored by the corresponding processing unit in the section occupancy result information. The output fragment information stored by all the processing units is combined to obtain the complete section occupancy result information. The verification unit extracts some information from the section occupancy result information stored by each processing unit, and for each processing unit, verifies whether the check fragment information stored by the processing unit is the same as the output fragment information stored by the corresponding processing unit. When the comparison fragment information stored by each processing unit is the same as the output fragment information stored by the corresponding processing unit, the output fragment information stored by all the processing units is combined into the complete section occupancy result information and output.

[0040] It should be noted that in practical applications, the number of axle counters 101 in the axle counter communication system 100 can be multiple, and the number of acquisition units, processing units, and verification units in the communication device 102 applied to axle counters can also be multiple. The number of various units and devices in the axle counter communication system 100 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0041] In the axle counter communication system 100 disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, since each processing unit in the communication device 102 applied to the axle counter identifies the section occupancy result signal sent by the acquisition unit, corresponding section occupancy result information can be obtained, and part of the information in the section occupancy result information is stored. And for each processing unit, there is a corresponding processing unit. The position of the check fragment information stored in the processing unit in the section occupancy result information is the same as that of the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit. Therefore, the check unit can extract part of the information in the section occupancy result information stored in each processing unit, and for each processing unit, check whether the comparison fragment information stored in the processing unit is the same as the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit. Only when the comparison fragment information stored in each processing unit is the same as the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit, the output fragment information stored in all processing units is combined into complete section occupancy result information and output, ensuring the accuracy of the output complete section occupancy result information, enabling the interlocking device to obtain accurate section occupancy result information, and ensuring the safety of train operation and shunting operation in railway stations.

[0042] Specifically, the communication device applied to the axle counter will be described below through several embodiments.

[0043] Refer to Figure 3 , the embodiments of the present application disclose a communication device 300 applied to the axle counter. In the communication device 300, it includes: an acquisition unit 301, a processing unit 302, and a verification unit 303.

[0044] The acquisition unit 301 connected to the axle counter is used to collect the section occupancy result signal output by the axle counter and send it.

[0045] Among them, the section occupancy result signal is used to indicate whether the section where the axle counter is located is in an occupied state. A section refers to a section of railway. Specifically, refer to Figure 4 , in practical applications, each interval (between two stations) of the railway can be divided into several track sections such as section 1 and section 2. The interlocking identifies whether a certain section of the railway is in an occupied state according to the section occupancy result, and then conducts train operation and shunting operation in the railway station.

[0046] After the acquisition unit 301 collects the section occupancy result signal output by the axle counter, it sends it to multiple processing units 302 respectively, so that each processing unit 302 can obtain the section occupancy result signal output by the axle counter. Each acquisition unit can be only used to collect the section occupancy result signal of a single section.

[0047] Optionally, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the section occupancy result signal can indicate whether the section is in an occupied state through high and low level states. Specifically, if the section occupancy result signal output by the axle counter is a high-level signal, it indicates that the section corresponding to the section occupancy result signal is in an idle state. If the occupancy result information output by the axle counter is a low-level signal, it indicates that the section corresponding to the section occupancy result information is in an occupied state. Or, if the section occupancy result signal output by the axle counter is a low-level signal, it indicates that the section corresponding to the section occupancy result signal is in an idle state, and if the occupancy result information output by the axle counter is a high-level signal, it indicates that the section corresponding to the section occupancy result information is in an occupied state.

[0048] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , in a specific embodiment of the present application, the acquisition unit 201 includes:

[0049] Multiple optocouplers. Among them, the diodes in the multiple optocouplers are connected in series to form an optocoupler input branch. The input end of the optocoupler input branch receives the section occupancy result signal Q2 output by the axle counter, and the output end of the optocoupler input branch is grounded to GND. For each optocoupler, the first end of the triode in the optocoupler receives the first power supply signal V1, the second end of the triode in the optocoupler is connected to one of the multiple processing units 202, and each processing unit 202 connected to the optocoupler is different. For each optocoupler, the section occupancy result signal Q2 output by the axle counter is transmitted to the processing unit 202 connected to the optocoupler through the optocoupler, thereby realizing the transmission of one section occupancy result signal Q2 to multiple processing units 202 respectively. When the section occupancy result signals of multiple sections need to be transmitted, there are corresponding multiple acquisition units 201, and each acquisition unit 201 acquires and sends the section occupancy result signal of only one section.

[0050] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 2 , the acquisition unit 201 further includes:

[0051] A current-limiting resistor, one end of the current-limiting resistor is connected to the negative pole of a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS), and the other end is connected to the input end of the optocoupler input branch. The positive pole of the TVS is grounded to GND, and the negative pole is connected to one end of the current-limiting resistor. The TVS can quickly introduce the voltage to the ground end when there is voltage interference (lightning strike) in the external environment, protect the optocoupler, and at the same time ensure that the section occupancy result signal Q2 can be transmitted to multiple optocouplers respectively. The current-limiting resistor is used to prevent the current from being too large and burning out the optocoupler.

[0052] Referring to Figure 3, a plurality of processing units 302 connected to the acquisition unit 301, each processing unit 302 is configured to identify the section occupancy result signal sent by the acquisition unit 301 to obtain the corresponding section occupancy result information, and store some of the information in the section occupancy result information.

[0053] Among them, the partial information stored by the processing unit 302 includes: verification fragment information and output fragment information. For each processing unit 302, there is a corresponding processing unit 302. The position of the verification fragment information stored by the processing unit 302 in the section occupancy result information is the same as the position of the output fragment information stored by the corresponding processing unit in the section occupancy result information. The output fragment information stored by all the processing units 302 is combined to obtain the complete section occupancy result information.

[0054] Specifically, the verification fragment information is mainly used for verification, and the output fragment information is used for output when the verification is successful. The verification fragment information stored by each processing unit 302 is unique, and the output fragment information stored by each processing unit 302 is also unique. After each processing unit 302 identifies the section occupancy result signal sent by the acquisition unit 301, it obtains the corresponding section occupancy result information and stores some of the information in the section occupancy result information. That is, the processing unit 302 converts the section occupancy result signal into section occupancy result information. In addition to carrying the section occupancy result, the section occupancy result information also carries the information of the section corresponding to the section occupancy result. Optionally, the section occupancy result information also carries information that can reflect whether the section occupancy result information is valid, etc.

[0055] Refer to Figure 5, for example, the section occupancy result information is divided into segment 1, segment 2, segment 3, and segment 4. The first processing unit stores segment 1 and segment 4 in the section occupancy result information, where segment 4 is the output segment information of the first processing unit, and segment 1 is the verification segment information of the first processing unit. The second processing unit stores segment 1 and segment 2 in the section occupancy result information, where segment 1 is the output segment information of the second processing unit, and segment 2 is the verification segment information of the second processing unit. The third processing unit stores segment 2 and segment 3 in the section occupancy result information, where segment 2 is the output segment information of the third processing unit, and segment 3 is the verification segment information of the third processing unit. The fourth processing unit stores segment 3 and segment 4 in the section occupancy result information, where segment 3 is the output segment information of the fourth processing unit, and segment 4 is the verification segment information of the fourth processing unit. Corresponding to the first processing unit is the second processing unit, corresponding to the second processing unit is the third processing unit, corresponding to the third processing unit is the fourth processing unit, and corresponding to the fourth processing unit is the first processing unit.

[0056] Optionally, in a specific embodiment of the present application, for each processing unit, the processing unit may receive multiple different section occupancy result signals. Among them, the section occupancy result signals received by all processing units are the same. For example, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 in the axle counter communication system shown, there are relay 1 and relay 2. Relay 1 outputs the section occupancy result signal of the first section, and relay 2 outputs the section occupancy result signal of the second section. Relay 1 transmits the section occupancy result signal of the first section to 4 processing units 202 respectively through the acquisition unit 201 connected to relay 1, and relay 2 transmits the section occupancy result signal of the second section to 4 processing units 202 respectively through the acquisition unit 201 connected to relay 2.

[0057] Optionally, continuing to refer to Figure 2 , in a specific embodiment of the present application, the processing unit 202 may include: a central processing unit (CPU). Optionally, there may also be a storage chip in the central processing unit, such as a Flash chip, so that the central processing unit can store some information of the section occupancy result information in the storage chip.

[0058] Referring to Figure 3, a verification unit 303 connected to each processing unit 302 respectively, is used to extract partial information from the section occupancy result information stored in each processing unit 302, and for each processing unit 302, verify whether the verification fragment information stored in the processing unit 302 is the same as the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit 302. When the comparison fragment information stored in each processing unit 302 is the same as the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit 302, the output fragment information stored in all the processing units 302 is combined into complete section occupancy result information and output.

[0059] For example, referring to Figure 5 , the verification unit needs to verify whether fragment 1 in the first processing unit is the same as fragment 1 in the second processing unit, whether fragment 2 in the second processing unit is the same as fragment 2 in the third processing unit, whether fragment 3 in the third processing unit is the same as fragment 3 in the fourth processing unit, and whether fragment 4 in the fourth processing unit is the same as fragment 4 in the first processing unit. When the verification fragments of all processing units are the same as the output fragments of the corresponding processing units, the verification unit extracts fragment 1 of the first processing unit, fragment 2 of the second processing unit, fragment 3 of the third processing unit, and fragment 4 of the fourth processing unit, combines them into complete section occupancy result information and outputs it.

[0060] Optionally, continuing to refer to Figure 2 , in a specific embodiment of the present application, the verification unit 203 may include: a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

[0061] Optionally, continuing to refer to Figure 2 , in a specific embodiment of the present application, the verification unit may also be used to send the output complete section occupancy result information to the interlocking device.

[0062] Since the complete section occupancy result information received by the interlocking device has been verified by the verification unit, the accuracy of the section occupancy result information can be ensured, making the interlocking more secure when performing train operation and shunting operation at a railway station.

[0063] Optionally, during the verification process of the verification unit, if there is an inconsistency between the verification fragment of a processing unit and the output fragment of the corresponding processing unit, the verification unit will not send the section occupancy result information to the interlocking, can send an alarm message for reminder, and can also cause the acquisition unit to re-acquire the axle counter section occupancy result signal, cause the processing unit to re-store partial information in the section occupancy result information, and the verification unit performs another verification.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, each processing unit stores only partial information of the section occupancy result information system, and there is a corresponding processing unit for each processing unit, such that the position of the check fragment information stored in the processing unit and the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit in the section occupancy result information is the same. Therefore, if there is no error in the transmission of the section occupancy result information stored in all processing units, then the comparison fragment information stored in each processing unit is the same as the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit. By means of pairwise comparison between multiple processing units, the accuracy of the section occupancy result information is ensured. Moreover, since each processing unit stores only partial information of the section occupancy result information, the requirement of the processing unit for storage space is also reduced.

[0065] In the communication device applied to axle counting proposed in the embodiments of the present application, since each processing unit identifies the section occupancy result signal sent by the acquisition unit, the corresponding section occupancy result information can be obtained, and partial information in the section occupancy result information is stored. Among them, the partial information stored by the processing unit includes: check fragment information and output fragment information. For each processing unit, there is a processing unit corresponding to the processing unit. The position of the check fragment information stored in the processing unit corresponding to the position of the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit in the section occupancy result information is the same. Therefore, the check unit can extract partial information in the section occupancy result information stored in each processing unit, and for each processing unit, check whether the comparison fragment information stored in the processing unit is the same as the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit. Only when the comparison fragment information stored in each processing unit is the same as the output fragment information stored in the corresponding processing unit, the output fragment information stored in all processing units is combined into complete section occupancy result information and output, ensuring the accuracy of the output complete section occupancy result information, enabling the interlocking device to obtain accurate section occupancy result information, and ensuring the safety of train operation and shunting operation in railway stations.
