Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of rail transit, more particularly, the present application relates to a metro line stray current monitoring method based on internet of things and data mining technology. BACKGROUND
[0002] Urban rail transit generally adopts direct current power supply, usually taking the steel rail as the traction current return path to send the current back to the negative pole of the rectifier unit, and the steel rail is fixed on the track bed through the insulating pad and fastener, which cannot be completely insulated from the ground, resulting in the flow of traction return current in the steel rail into the ground, so that the potential between the steel rail and the ground is generated, that is, the steel rail potential. The excessively high steel rail potential will threaten the personal safety of passengers, and will also cause the frequent action of the steel rail potential limiter (OVPD), aggravating the current leakage from the steel rail to the underground, forming stray current. Meanwhile, the section yard is often a weak link of the steel rail insulation, and the stray current condition is more serious. The stray current will cause electrochemical corrosion to the tunnel structure steel rail and other underground metal structures, which may cause serious consequences in the long run.
[0003] The steel rail potential between the main line and the section yard is affected by the throat area conduction device and the section yard grounding mode. The process of the throat area conduction device and the train crossing the throat area insulation joint will cause the mutual influence of the steel rail potential between the main line and the section yard. From the perspective of the safety of maintenance personnel, the setting value of the section yard steel rail potential limiter is lower than that of the main line steel rail potential limiter, such as 60V for a section. The steel rail potential of the main line enters the section yard, causing the section yard steel rail potential limiter to ground. On the one hand, it aggravates the stray current, and on the other hand, it makes the system work in a single-ended grounding condition, which worsens the main line steel rail potential. In view of the above situation, it is very necessary to design a metro line stray current monitoring method. SUMMARY
