Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of urban rail vehicles, and in particular relates to an urban rail vehicle pantograph air spring alarm system and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, most urban rail transit vehicles use airbag pantographs to obtain electrical energy, in which the pantograph's raising and lowering functions are mainly achieved by the inflation and exhaust of air springs. The excellent performance of the air spring has a direct correlation with the pantograph's raising and power-collecting process and the exhaust and lowering process.
[0003] Pantograph air springs are mostly multi-curved bladders, with the main structure made of rubber and curtains. Since pantograph air springs are often located on the roof pantograph chassis, they are greatly affected by the environment during use, and the pantograph air springs will show deterioration trends such as aging and fatigue. When the product deteriorates, the working stroke of the pantograph air spring will change during the pantograph raising process; in the original inflation control system, if the contact pressure between the pantograph and the net is to remain unchanged, the inflation pressure needs to be increased, which increases the inflation stroke of the pantograph air spring and causes the air spring to be in an overcharged state. During the pantograph lowering process, if the air spring product deteriorates, during the exhaust process, the air spring contraction movement cannot effectively reduce the pantograph to the design value, which directly affects the operational safety of the train. In the actual operation of urban rail vehicles, the deterioration process of the pantograph air spring is slow and difficult to track in real time. The existing treatment methods are mostly to find major faults such as rupture and leakage in the air spring, causing the vehicle to be delayed or stopped, and then carry out manual maintenance and replacement, resulting in large losses.

[0036] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific preferred embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby.
[0037] Example
[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pantograph air spring alarm system for urban rail vehicles of the present invention comprises: a chassis 2, an air spring 3, a pantograph assembly, a sensor assembly 8, a control unit 9 and an alarm device 10. The air spring 3 is mounted on the chassis 2, and the bottom of the pantograph assembly is respectively connected to the chassis 2 and the air spring 3, and the air spring 3 is connected to the air circuit system through a pipeline. As the air spring 3 is inflated and exhausted, the pantograph assembly completes the corresponding pantograph raising and lowering actions. The sensor assembly 8 is connected to the air spring 3 to monitor the internal gas pressure data of the air spring 3, as well as the displacement change and tilt angle change of the air spring 3 during the inflation and exhaust process, and transmit the data to the control unit 9. The alarm device 10 is connected to the control unit 9 to receive the control command sent by the control unit 9 and to alarm. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the alarm device 10 can adopt an indicator light display device, which is easy to install and has an obvious warning effect.
[0039] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the sensor assembly 8 includes a pressure sensor 8a, a displacement sensor 8b and an inclination sensor 8c. The fixed end of the air spring 3 is provided with an air inlet, which is connected to the air circuit system for inflating the air spring 3. The pressure sensor 8a is arranged at the air inlet of the fixed end of the air spring 3, and can directly and accurately measure the internal pressure value of the air spring 3, so that the inflation and exhaust efficiency of the air circuit system is higher. The moving end of the air spring 3 is provided with a connecting rod 11, and the displacement sensor 8b is arranged on the connecting rod 11 and close to the end of the air spring 3, which is used to monitor the movement displacement of the air spring 3 during the inflation and exhaust process; the movement direction during inflation is positive forward, and the movement direction during exhaust is negative backward. The inclination sensor 8c is arranged at the center position of the connecting rod 11 at the moving end of the air spring 3, and is used to monitor the change of the tilt angle of the air spring 3 during the inflation and exhaust process. The air spring used for the pantograph often changes in the stretched length in the horizontal direction, and the displacement sensor 8b and the inclination sensor 8c will move accordingly, and the reliability requirements during installation and application are high. Since the air spring used in the pantograph has no auxiliary spring to provide auxiliary thrust function, the air spring is prone to tilt in the horizontal direction, which will seriously affect the effect of the horizontal thrust function. Setting an inclination sensor 8c can grasp the tilt of the air spring in the horizontal direction in real time.
[0040] It can be understood that under normal circumstances, when the air spring 3 is placed horizontally, it is fixed with fixed rods and ropes in the up and down directions and the horizontal direction, and the angle of the air spring 3 is also centered. Only when the structure of the air spring 3 changes, the connection structure becomes loose. The change in internal pressure at this time will cause the inclination sensor 8c to measure a change in the inclination angle. If the inclination angle change exceeds the set range value, it means that maintenance is required.
[0041] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor 8a is provided at the air inlet of the fixed end of the air spring 3, and a displacement sensor 8b and an inclination sensor 8c are provided at the moving end of the air spring 3. The original air spring fault inspection and repair method is replaced by the cooperation of multiple sensors and a control system, thereby realizing an intelligent fault alarm of the air spring and improving the efficiency of the pantograph height control.
[0042] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the pantograph assembly includes: a lower arm 4, a pull rod 5, an upper arm 6 and a bow head 7. The bottom of the lower arm 4 is connected to the connecting rod 11 of the moving end of the air spring 3, the bottom of the pull rod 5 is connected to the end of the base frame 2, and the pull rod 5 is away from the fixed end of the air spring 3. The top of the lower arm 4 and the top of the pull rod 5 are both connected to the bottom of the upper arm 6, and there is a certain distance between the top of the lower arm 4 and the top of the pull rod 5 to improve the support stability of the upper arm 6; the top of the upper arm 6 is connected to the bow head 7, and the bow head 7 is in contact with the contact network. As the air spring 3 is inflated and exhausted, the connecting rod 11 pushes the lower arm 4 to move, so that the upper arm 6 can raise or lower the bow head 7.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, three supporting insulating bases 1 are also included, and the bottoms of the three supporting insulating bases 1 are all fixedly connected to the top of the urban rail vehicle (not shown in the figure), and the top of the supporting insulating base 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base frame 2.
[0044] This embodiment also provides a control method based on the above-mentioned urban rail vehicle pantograph air spring alarm system, and its control principle is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it mainly includes the following steps:
[0045] S1. Inflate or exhaust the air spring 3 to achieve contact or disconnection between the pantograph assembly and the contact network. The internal gas pressure of the air spring 3 and the position change of the air spring 3 during the inflation and exhaust process are monitored in real time by the sensor assembly 8, and the monitoring data is transmitted to the control unit 9.
[0046] Furthermore, the internal pressure value of the air spring 3 is monitored in real time by the pressure sensor 8a, and the data signal is transmitted to the control unit 9; the displacement transformation of the moving end of the air spring 3 during the inflation or exhaust process is monitored in real time by the displacement sensor 8b, and the data signal is transmitted to the control unit 9; the inclination angle data of the moving end of the air spring 3 during the inflation or exhaust process is monitored in real time by the inclination sensor 8c, and the data signal is transmitted to the control unit 9.
[0047] S2. Constructing in the control unit 9 a pressure-displacement correlation standard model when the air spring 3 works normally and a pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model when a fault occurs, and determining a boundary value of the pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model.
[0048] Specifically, the construction process of each of the above models includes:
[0049] Step S2.1, combining the internal pressure (P)-load (W) test standard of the air spring 3 when it leaves the factory and the effective action area Aq of the air spring, use formula (1) to calculate the relationship between the thrust function (F) and the internal pressure (P1);
[0050] F=(P1-P0)Aq (1)
[0051] Among them, F is the thrust function, P1 is the internal pressure of the air spring, and P0 is the standard atmospheric pressure;
[0052] Step S2.2, calculating the minimum kinetic energy (Emin) and the maximum kinetic energy value (Emax) required for the air spring (3) to overcome relevant resistance (for example, the effect of the weight of the pantograph head and other forces) during the pantograph raising process;
[0053] Emin≤E≤Emax (2)
[0054] E=f(F,S,t) (3)
[0055] Among them, E is the kinetic energy of the air spring, F is the thrust function, S is the displacement value, and t is the working time of the air spring;
[0056] Step S2.3, combining the pantograph raising time limit (T), further calculating the internal pressure (P1) variation range and the corresponding displacement (S) variation relationship during the working process of the air spring 3, and constructing the pressure-displacement correlation standard model when the air spring 3 is working normally, as shown in formula (4);
[0057] S=f(E,P1,t) (4)
[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the relationship curve between the internal pressure (P1) and displacement (s) of the pantograph air spring is nonlinear.
[0059] It can be understood that T is the time limit requirement for the pantograph to be raised, and the air spring working time t can be less than the pantograph raising time. Since there is also a buffer plus a controller to control the pantograph raising time, the two times may not be consistent.
[0060] Step S2.4, combining the correction and verification results of multiple groups of vehicle assembly data, construct a pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model when the air spring 3 fails, and design the boundary values of the internal pressure and displacement changes under the fault state according to the failure mode of the air spring 3.
[0061] S3, the control unit 9 compares the value of the pressure-displacement correlation model of the air spring 3 in the actual working process with the value of the pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model, and sends a corresponding control instruction to the alarm device 10 according to the comparison result, so as to prompt the maintenance personnel to repair the air spring 3. Alternatively, the control unit 9 compares the real-time tilting angle with the preset tilting angle based on the tilting angle signal of the air spring 3 collected in real time by the tilt sensor 8c, and sends a corresponding control instruction to the alarm device 10 according to the comparison result.
[0062] In this embodiment, the relationship curve between the internal pressure and displacement of the air spring of the pantograph is nonlinear. By measuring the parameters of pressure and displacement during the filling and exhausting process of the air spring 3, an innovative pressure-displacement correlation model during the filling and exhausting process of the air spring 3 is constructed. The pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model is determined by experiment, and the deterioration trend and fault form of the air spring 3 can be accurately diagnosed. By measuring the changes in pressure and displacement of the air spring 3 during the process of raising and lowering the pantograph, the constructed fault model is used to determine whether the air spring 3 has deteriorated, and an alarm instruction is issued through the control unit 9 to indicate that the color indicator light of the alarm device 10 is on; or, the control unit compares the real-time tilt angle with the preset tilt angle according to the collected real-time tilt angle signal, and according to the comparison result, the alarm device (indicator light) is controlled by the instruction to indicate, so as to prompt the maintenance personnel to perform maintenance operations, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the maintenance personnel and saving maintenance costs.
[0063] Specific working process:
[0064] S1. When the pantograph of a rail vehicle is working normally, after the pantograph raising operation is started, the compressed air in the air system enters the air spring 3 through the pipeline from the air inlet, and the inflation pressure causes the moving end of the air spring 3 to move forward, and the connecting rod 11 pushes the lower arm 4 to rotate. At the same time, through the cooperation of the pull rod 5, the upper arm 6 is raised upward, so that the bow head 7 is in contact with the contact network and a certain contact pressure is maintained to complete the current receiving process.
[0065] In the above process, the inflation process of the air spring 3 and the internal pressure value in the pressure holding state are monitored in real time through the pressure sensor 8a, and the data signal is transmitted to the control unit 9 in a time series. The displacement data of the moving end of the air spring 3 during the inflation process is monitored in real time through the displacement sensor 8b, and the monitoring data signal is transmitted to the control unit 9 in a time series. The inclination angle data of the moving end of the air spring 3 during the inflation process is monitored in real time through the inclination sensor 8c, and the monitoring data signal is transmitted to the control unit 9 in a time series.
[0066] S2. Constructing in the control unit 9 a pressure-displacement correlation standard model when the air spring 3 works normally and a pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model when a fault occurs, and determining a boundary value of the pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model.
[0067] Specifically, the construction process of each of the above models includes:
[0068] Step S2.1, combining the internal pressure (P)-load (W) test standard of the air spring 3 when it leaves the factory and the effective action area Aq of the air spring, use formula (1) to calculate the relationship between the thrust function (F) and the internal pressure (P1);
[0069] F=(P1-P0)Aq (1)
[0070] Among them, F is the thrust function, P1 is the internal pressure of the air spring, and P0 is the standard atmospheric pressure;
[0071] Step S2.2, calculating the minimum kinetic energy (Emin) and maximum kinetic energy (Emax) required for the air spring 3 to overcome relevant resistance (for example, the action of the bow head gravity and other forces) during the pantograph raising process;
[0072] Emin≤E≤Emax (2)
[0073] E=f(F,S,t) (3)
[0074] Among them, E is the kinetic energy of the air spring, F is the thrust function, S is the displacement value, and t is the working time of the air spring;
[0075] Step S2.3, combining the pantograph raising time limit (T), further calculating the internal pressure (P1) variation range and the corresponding displacement (S) variation relationship during the working process of the air spring 3, and constructing the pressure-displacement correlation standard model when the air spring 3 is working normally, as shown in formula (4);
[0076] S=f(E,P1,t) (4)
[0077] Step S2.4, combining the correction and verification results of multiple groups of vehicle assembly data, constructing a pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model when the air spring 3 fails;
[0078] Step S2.5, for the failure mode of the air spring 3, such as air spring failure caused by temperature, acid, alkali, salt or environmental humidity, design the boundary values of the internal pressure (P) and displacement (S) changes under the failure state.
[0079] S3, the control unit 9 constructs a pressure-displacement correlation model of the air spring 3 in the actual working process based on the pressure signal and displacement signal of the air spring 3 collected in real time by the sensor assembly 8, compares the numerical value of the pressure-displacement correlation model with the numerical value of the pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model, and sends corresponding control instructions to the alarm device 10 according to the comparison result.
[0080] Specifically, when the air spring 3 shows a deterioration trend due to environmental factors such as temperature, acid, alkali, and salt, the pressure-displacement correlation model constructed by the control unit 9 based on the data signals collected by the pressure sensor 8a and the displacement sensor 8b will exceed the boundary value of the pressure-displacement correlation standard model, and the control unit 9 sends an alarm instruction to the alarm device 10 to prompt the maintenance personnel to repair the air spring 3. Alternatively, the control unit 9 compares the air spring tilt angle signal collected in real time by the tilt sensor 8c with the preset tilt angle value. If the range of the tilt angle exceeds the preset value, it can be determined that the air spring has a fault and it is necessary to remind the maintenance personnel to repair it.
[0081] S4. When the pantograph lowering operation is started, the air spring 3 is exhausted to reduce the internal pressure, so that the pantograph is lowered to disconnect the current; the pressure sensor 8a, the displacement sensor 8b and the inclination sensor 8c transmit the collected real-time pressure data signal, displacement data signal and tilt angle data signal to the control unit 9, and the control unit 9 compares the value of the pressure-displacement correlation model with the value of the pressure-displacement correlation fault diagnosis model, or compares the real-time tilt angle with the preset value, and sends corresponding control instructions to the alarm device 10 according to the comparison result.
