Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of railway track detection, and in particular to a high-speed track detection installation device and method. Background Art

[0002] Since the beginning of this century, China has stepped up its efforts to build rail transit infrastructure. The mileage of various types of tracks, including high-speed rail, EMU trains, conventional rail, and subways, has grown rapidly, and the burden of train transportation has reached unprecedented levels. Tracks are the foundation of train operation, and the quality of track geometry (gauge, level, track alignment, height, lateral deviation, and vertical deviation, among others) is closely linked to train safety.

[0003] With the continuous increase in rail transit train speeds, traffic density, and loads, track performance is being put to the test, and track maintenance is becoming increasingly difficult. Track (geometric parameter) inspection systems have received significant attention as a key means of ensuring track safety. Comprehensive inspection of track geometry is required during the construction and maintenance of all types of track. With the rapid growth in rail transit mileage both domestically and internationally, the demand for track inspection systems is also rapidly increasing.

[0004] At present, track detection systems can be divided into two categories based on detection carrier and speed:

[0005] (1) Low-speed track inspection system: The main carrier is a non-powered inspection trolley, usually a T-shaped structure. During the inspection operation, it needs to be pushed manually or by other powered vehicles. The maximum inspection speed is usually less than 60 km / h;

[0006] (2) High-speed track inspection system: The main carriers are various powered operating vehicles (high-speed rail, EMU, conventional rail, intercity rail, subway, etc.) and working vehicles (tamping vehicles, grinding vehicles, inspection vehicles, etc.). Track inspection is carried out while the train is running. The maximum inspection speed is usually greater than 60 km / h.

[0007] There are currently two main types of high-speed track detection systems: high-speed optical track detection systems and high-speed gyroscopic track detection systems.

[0008] The Design and Development of GJ-6 Track Detection System introduces a typical high-speed gyro track detection system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the track detection system includes a gyroscope and multiple sensors for data processing. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a straight mounting base is used.

[0009] The existing high-speed gyro track detection system has the following main disadvantages:

[0010] (1) The track detection scheme based on inertial reference requires a large number of sensors (23), which makes the system more complex, costly, and difficult to use and maintain.

[0011] (2) When a linear mounting base is used, sensors need to be installed on the mounting base, vehicle body, and axle box, which makes installation more difficult.

[0012] (3) The simple fusion data processing method of multiple sensors based on gyroscopes, accelerometers, odometers, displacement meters and laser camera components is difficult to effectively overcome the negative impact of gyroscope errors (zero bias, installation error, scale factor error, etc.) and accelerometer errors (zero bias, installation error, scale factor error, etc.) on track detection accuracy.

[0013] (4) Under dynamic conditions, the magnitude of the Earth's rotation angle component detected by each gyroscope in the existing high-speed gyro orbit detection system is constantly changing, and the magnitude of the Earth's gravity acceleration component detected by each accelerometer is constantly changing. The Earth's rotation angular velocity component detected by each gyroscope and the gravity acceleration component detected by each accelerometer cannot be completely deducted, which leads to a decrease in orbit detection accuracy.

[0014] (5) The lack of specialized high-precision temperature compensation and high-precision system calibration methods tailored to the changing operating conditions (ambient temperature, inspection speed, and track parameters) of high-speed track inspections has limited further improvements in track inspection accuracy. Track inspection accuracy and reliability significantly decrease when ambient temperature, inspection speed, and track parameters vary significantly.

[0015] (6) When using a single odometer solution, it is difficult to avoid the odometer failure problem.

[0016] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-speed track detection system that can improve track detection accuracy and is less difficult to install. Summary of the Invention

A plurality of positioning holes are provided on the vertical beam installation reference surface 113 and the oblique beam installation reference surface 114. Figure 8 The center vertical beam mounting datum surface 113 is rectangular, and the diagonal beam mounting datum surface 114 is pentagonal. In actual scenarios, mounting datum surfaces of other shapes can be set based on the shapes of the vertical beam 12 and diagonal beam 13. The lower surface 11B of the crossbeam is used for fixing and calibrating the inertial navigation system and two sets of laser camera assemblies. It includes an inertial navigation mounting datum surface 111 located in the center and two sets of camera mounting datum surfaces 112 distributed on either side of the inertial navigation mounting datum surface 111. The inertial navigation mounting datum surface 111 includes multiple bosses, each with two locating pins, which are used for high-precision repeatable installation with the inertial navigation system.

Two integral mounting holes 14 are provided on both sides of the crossbeam 11 for integral installation of the mounting device or installation of the shock absorber. Each integral mounting hole 14 is mounted to the bogie or vehicle body through the shock absorber. The shock absorber's stiffness, damping, and frequency parameters are determined based on track inspection accuracy and dynamic range requirements. Each integral mounting hole 14 is flanked by two anti-fall mounting holes 15. These mounting holes 15 can be used to attach an anti-fall chain directly or via eyebolts. The chains are then secured to the bogie or vehicle body. The lower surface 11B of the crossbeam is machined with multiple special-shaped reinforcement ribs to enhance overall structural strength.

Each set of camera mounting datum surfaces 124 includes multiple bosses, each with three locating pins for high-precision, repeatable mounting of the laser camera assembly. The vertical beam 12 features an integral mounting hole 14 for mounting the mounting device or shock absorber. These holes, in conjunction with the two integral mounting holes 14 on the crossbeam 11, secure the three beams of the triangular structure to the vehicle body. Each integral mounting hole 14 is mounted to the bogie or vehicle body via a shock absorber. The shock absorber's stiffness, damping, and frequency parameters are determined based on track inspection accuracy and dynamic range requirements. The vertical beam 12 also features two anti-fall mounting holes 15, which can be used to attach an anti-fall chain directly or via eyebolts.

The lower surface 12B of the vertical beam features multiple special-shaped reinforcement ribs to enhance overall structural strength.

[0111] like Figure 15-18 As shown, the inclined beam 13 is used to fix the horizontal beam 11 and the vertical beam 12, including the upper surface 13A and the lower surface 13B of the inclined beam. The lower surface 13B of the inclined beam is used for fixing and calibrating the horizontal beam 11 and the vertical beam 12, including the horizontal beam installation reference surface 131 and the vertical beam installation reference surface 132 distributed at both ends of the lower surface 13B of the inclined beam. Figure 18 In the figure, the horizontal beam mounting reference surface 131 is located on the right side and is provided with multiple positioning holes. This surface is pentagonal and can be adjusted to other shapes according to the shape of the horizontal beam 11. The vertical beam mounting reference surface 132 is located on the right side and is provided with multiple positioning holes. This surface is pentagonal and can be adjusted to other shapes according to the shape of the vertical beam 12. The lower surface 13B of the diagonal beam is machined with multiple special-shaped reinforcement ribs to enhance the overall structural strength.

[0112] Use bolts to install the horizontal beam 11, vertical beam 12 and oblique beam 13 together through the positioning holes to form Figure 4 and Figure 5The existing high-speed gyro detection system's mounting base can only be installed on the train's bogie, while the high-speed track detection mounting device has good adaptability and can be directly installed on the train body or on the bogie, significantly reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0113] The mounting device is also provided with a plurality of threaded holes for wiring and installing a protective cover of the laser camera assembly.

[0114] The mounting device is large, with three beams typically ranging in length from 1 to 3 meters. To ensure structural strength while minimizing overall weight, the present invention utilizes theoretical analysis and simulation methods for structural optimization. The use of a beam structure and reinforcements significantly reduces overall weight. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of the ambient temperature and stress characteristics of the high-speed rail inspection system was conducted, along with thorough thermal and mechanical analysis of the mounting device as a whole and each component. By varying the parameters of the structural beams and reinforcements, the overall weight was significantly reduced. However, the mounting device's large size presents significant challenges in high-precision machining and deformation control of large parts. To meet the long-term operational requirements of the high-speed rail inspection system under harsh temperature and stress conditions, the three beams were optimized during machining using one or more of the following processes: stress relief, machine parameter optimization, combined roughing and finishing, or clamping stress control. Specifically, the stress relief process involves multiple stress relief methods during machining, including high- and low-temperature stress relief, natural stress relief, or vibration stress relief, significantly reducing material and machining stresses. The machine parameter optimization process involves optimizing machine parameters to reduce machining deformation and stress, and improve the stability of each component after machining. Machine tool parameters include tool head parameters, feed rate, spindle speed, cutting rate, and depth of cut. The combined roughing and finishing process involves combining multiple roughing and finishing operations to improve the stability of each part after machining. The clamping stress control process involves multiple clamping operations and clamping stress control during machining to improve the stability of each part after machining.

The laser light emitted by the laser is collimated and shaped by the transmitting optical system to become a linear laser. The laser spot irradiated on a planar target is a straight line, while the laser spot irradiated on a non-planar target such as a rail is a curved line. The laser spot irradiated on the target passes through the receiving optical system and is imaged onto the area array imaging unit (CMOS or CCD) of the high-speed camera. Using camera calibration, image processing, and triangulation methods, the two-dimensional coordinates of each location of the laser spot in the laser plane coordinate system can be measured with high precision. Each laser camera assembly 3 also has an integrated temperature sensor that measures temperature data. Full-temperature calibration and error compensation methods are used to improve measurement accuracy. The high-speed track detection system uses three sets of laser camera assemblies 3 to measure the relative position (lateral displacement, vertical displacement) and attitude (azimuth, pitch angle, roll angle) parameters between the high-speed track detection installation device 1 and the rail. Each set of laser camera assemblies 3 can measure the lateral displacement and vertical displacement of the assembly relative to the rail. The three sets of laser camera assemblies 3 can measure the lateral displacement and vertical displacement of three positions on the high-speed track detection installation device 1 relative to the rail, thereby calculating the relative position (lateral displacement, vertical displacement) and attitude (azimuth, pitch angle, roll angle) parameters of the high-speed track detection installation device 1 relative to the rail.
