[0028] It should also be understood that the terms used in the description of the embodiments of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. As used in the description of the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a single-rail signal collector, which is applied to a rail 1. The single-rail signal collector includes: a signal collection device 2 and a single-rail fixing device; the signal collection device 2 is connected to the single-rail fixing device; the single-rail fixing device includes an upper fixing frame 3, a bottom fixing frame 4, and a positioning hinge 5; a bending member 6 is provided on the bottom fixing frame 4; the upper fixing frame 3 is connected to the rail surface of the rail 1; the positioning hinge 5 includes a hinge fixing member 51 and a hinge movable member 52; the hinge fixing member 51 is connected to the hinge movable member 52; the hinge fixing member 51 is connected to the upper fixing frame 3; the hinge movable member 52 is connected to the bottom fixing frame 4; wherein, when the hinge movable member 52 rotates in a direction away from the rail side, the bending member 6 disengages from the bottom of the rail 1, so that the single-rail fixing device can be removed from the rail 1; when the hinge movable member 52 rotates in a direction close to the rail side, the bending member 6 is connected to the bottom of the rail 1, so that the single-rail fixing device is fixed on the rail 1 for movement.

[0030] Specifically, the upper fixing frame 3 functions to place the signal acquisition device 2; the positioning hinge 5 is used to connect the upper fixing frame 3 and the bottom fixing frame 4. At the same time, the hinge movable part 52 is used to enable the bottom fixing frame 4 to rotate away from the rail side to open, or enable the bottom fixing frame 4 to rotate towards the rail side to close; the signal acquisition device 2 is used to acquire the track signal or track voltage emitted by the rail 1.

[0031] When the single-rail signal collector is in use, it is connected to the rail surface of the rail 1 through the upper fixing frame 3, thereby initially placing the single-rail fixing device on the rail 1. Then, the bottom fixing frame 4 is closed by rotating the hinge movable part 52 on the positioning hinge 5 towards the rail side. The closing of the bottom fixing frame 4 causes the bending part 6 on the bottom fixing frame 4 to be connected to the bottom of the rail 1, thereby fixing the single-rail fixing device to move on the rail 1.

[0032] When a locomotive needs to pass on the track, or after the work of the single-rail signal collector is completed, the hinge movable part 52 is rotated away from the rail side, causing the bottom fixing frame 4 to rotate away from the rail side and present an open state. The rotation of the bottom fixing frame 4 away from the rail side causes the bending part 6 to disengage from the bottom of the rail 1, so that the single-rail fixing device can be removed from the rail 1. Therefore, the effect of being able to remove or fix the single-rail signal collector on the rail 1 at any time can be achieved, without occupying road resources and without delaying train operation time.
