For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a wide-area monitoring system for traction reflux status provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1The traction return flow state wide area monitoring system (also referred to as "wide area monitoring system") includes a first return flow signal acquisition unit 111, a second return flow signal acquisition unit 112, a third return flow signal acquisition unit 113, a first return flow signal sending unit 121, a second return flow signal sending unit 122, a third return flow signal sending unit 123 and a processing unit 13; the first return flow signal acquisition unit 111 is used to collect the return flow electrical signal of the traction station 01 and transmit it to the first return flow signal sending unit 121 in real time; the second return flow signal acquisition unit 112 is used to collect the return flow electrical signal of the traction station 01 and transmit it to the first return flow signal sending unit 121 in real time; The return electrical signal of AT station 02 is collected and transmitted to the second return signal sending unit 122 in real time; the third return signal collecting unit 113 is used to collect the return electrical signal of partition station 03, and transmit it to the third return signal sending unit 123 in real time; the first return signal sending unit 121, the second return signal sending unit 122 and the third return signal sending unit 123 synchronize and send the collected return electrical signals to the processing unit 13; the processing unit 13 is used to determine the traction return state according to the return electrical signal, and issue a prompt when the return is abnormal.

[0036] The reflux electrical signal may be a signal that directly represents the reflux state, or may be a signal that indirectly represents the reflux state; illustratively, it may be a current signal or a voltage signal, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0037] In the wide-area monitoring system for the traction return flow status provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, three return flow signal acquisition units respectively collect the return flow electrical signals of the traction station 01, the AT station 02 and the substation 03, and transmit them to the corresponding return flow signal sending units; each return flow signal sending unit can synchronously send the return flow electrical signals collected by each to the processing unit 13 after being synchronized, thereby ensuring the time synchronization of the signals processed by the processing unit 13, so that the traction return flow status can be determined more accurately; further, the processing unit 13 can issue a prompt when the return flow is abnormal, thereby preventing relevant personnel from mistakenly entering the dangerous area and ensuring personal safety; at the same time, relevant personnel can be prompted to inspect and maintain the section with return flow abnormality, which is conducive to avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents and reducing equipment losses.

[0038] In one embodiment, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another wide-area monitoring system for traction reflux status provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 The first return signal sending unit 111 includes a return branch current transformer of a traction station, the second return signal sending unit 112 includes a return branch current transformer of an AT station, and the third return signal sending unit 113 includes a return branch current transformer of a partition station.

[0039] In this way, the current transformer can be used to monitor the traction return current of each substation.

[0040] For example, the test principle of traction backflow is as follows Figure 3 As shown, there is a lead wire leading to the choke transformer 210 at the insulating joint 220 of the rail. By inserting the traction substation return branch current transformer, the AT station return branch current transformer and the substation return branch current transformer (shown as 200) into the lead wire, the traction return current of each substation can be measured.

[0041] Exemplarily, the choke neutral point N is electrically connected to the integrated ground line.

[0042] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 2 The first return signal sending unit 121, the second return signal sending unit 122 and the third return signal sending unit 123 all include a timing and positioning circuit 210, a timing trigger circuit 220 and a signal collection circuit 230; the input end of each signal collection circuit 230 is respectively connected to the output end of the return branch current transformer of the traction station, the return branch current transformer of the AT station and the output end of the return branch current transformer of the sub-station; the output end of each signal collection circuit 230 is connected to the input end of the processing unit 13; the output end of the timing and positioning circuit 210 is electrically connected to the input end of the timing trigger circuit 220, and the output end of the timing trigger circuit 220 is electrically connected to the trigger end of the signal collection circuit 230; each signal collection circuit 230 is used to synchronously collect and send the return electrical signal to the processing unit 13 under the triggering of the timing and positioning circuit 210 and the timing trigger circuit 220 electrically connected thereto.

[0043] Among them, the timing and positioning circuit 210 can send location information and time information to the timing trigger circuit 220. The timing trigger circuit 220 timing triggers the signal collection circuit 230 according to the time information, so that the return electrical signals of the traction station, AT station and sub-station at the same time are synchronously sent to the processing unit 13, which is conducive to the real-time and accurate monitoring of the traction return status in a wide area including the traction station, AT station and sub-station.

[0044] In one embodiment, the timing and positioning circuit 210 includes a GPS timing and positioning circuit.

[0045] With this configuration, the wide-area monitoring system for the traction return status of electrified railways adopts GPS timing and triggering functions, which can achieve the synchronization of return electrical signal monitoring in traction substations, substations and AT stations. The monitoring results have a strict time correspondence, and the judgment accuracy of the traction return status is relatively high.

[0046] In other implementations, the timing and positioning circuit 210 may also include other types of circuits known to those skilled in the art that can implement timing and positioning functions, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0047] In one embodiment, the processing unit 13 includes a monitoring host 131 and an action module 132; the monitoring host 131 is used to calculate the fuzzy paste progress based on the fuzzy paste progress and the current distribution ratio of each fuzzy paste path, and transmit it to the action module 132; the action module 132 is used to determine the traction reflux state based on the fuzzy paste progress, and issue a prompt when the reflux is abnormal.

[0048] Among them, the monitoring host 131 calculates in real time the fuzzy pasting progress between the monitored current distribution ratio of each return path and the preset current distribution ratio of each return path, and uploads the data to the action module 132. The action module 132 can determine the traction return state according to the size relationship between the fuzzy pasting progress and the set threshold.

[0049] Exemplarily, when the progress of the fuzzy sticker is less than the set threshold, the traction reflux state is determined to be normal, and when the progress of the fuzzy sticker is equal to or greater than the set threshold, the traction reflux state is determined to be abnormal; a prompt is issued when the reflux is abnormal to reduce equipment losses and improve personal safety.

[0050] It is understandable that the specific value of the threshold value can be set according to the requirements of the traction reflux system, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0051] In one embodiment, the action module 132 is used to compare the progress of the fuzzy paste with different set thresholds, and issue a prompt when determining that the backflow is abnormal.

[0052] In this way, by setting different thresholds, corresponding processing measures can be taken according to different safety levels, so as to accurately identify the integrity of the traction return system and automatically alarm for any return anomalies found.

[0053] The difference between different preset thresholds may be set according to the requirements of the traction reflux system, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0054] In one embodiment, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of another wide-area monitoring system for traction reflux status provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 The traction reflux status wide-area monitoring system also includes a data transfer unit 14; the input end of the data transfer unit 14 is electrically connected to each signal collection circuit 230, and the output end of the data transfer unit 14 is connected to the monitoring host 131; the data transfer unit 14 is used to receive and store the reflux electrical signal sent by each signal collection circuit 230 in real time, and transmit the reflux electrical signal to the monitoring host 131.

[0055] With this configuration, the traction reflux status wide-area detection system adopts a real-time data upload method, which reduces the local data storage capacity and effectively avoids the problem of local data loss. At the same time, it is convenient for the background to conduct comprehensive analysis of traction reflux, thereby improving the system operation efficiency.

[0056] Exemplarily, the data transfer unit 141 may include a communication network, and other data transmission processes in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be implemented using the communication network.

[0057] In one embodiment, the traction reflux status wide-area monitoring system further includes an auxiliary monitoring unit 15 ; the auxiliary monitoring unit 15 is connected to the action module 132 and is used to receive and store the fuzzy pasting progress and the reflux status.

[0058] In this way, the auxiliary monitoring unit can be used to store the time-related traction return status and its related data, forming a status-related database of the traction return system in a wide area including traction stations, AT stations and sub-stations, so as to record and track the status of the traction return system.

[0059] It is understandable that the above-mentioned functional units or functional modules may also be implemented in other structural forms known to those skilled in the art, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0060] The wide-area monitoring system for the traction return status provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting GPS timing and triggering functions, synchronously collects the current of each return branch in a wide area including traction substations, AT stations and substations, uses the communication network to upload data, dynamically monitors the traction return status, and issues fault or abnormal alarms, thereby realizing real-time and dynamic comprehensive detection of the traction return status of electrified railways, which is beneficial to reducing equipment losses and improving personal safety.

[0061] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, so that those skilled in the art can understand or implement the present disclosure. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure will not be limited to the embodiments described herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
