Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of rail transit technology, and in particular to a main-standby dual-system automatic switching circuit and a method and control system for realizing the main-standby dual-system automatic switching. Background Art

[0002] As the brain of railway transportation, the signal system ensures the safe and reliable operation of trains. In order to improve the availability and reliability of the signal system, the automatic switching function of the main and standby dual systems has become the most common method of railway signal equipment. Similarly, in some other industries with high reliability requirements, the automatic switching mode of the main and standby dual systems is also needed to improve the reliability of the product system.

[0003] The existing equipment adopting the automatic switching mode of the main and backup dual systems can automatically switch to the backup system once the main system has problems. When a problem occurs in the system, the controller can automatically switch the main system to the backup system and prompt the maintenance personnel to perform repairs. Among them, when the mode is switched, when the main system is automatically switched to the backup system, there will be a certain signal delay during the period, which causes the signal system to cause signal operation errors due to the delay.

[0004] When the current situation switching is unsuccessful, multiple scheme switching is required to switch to the best scheme for control, and the number of switching times is large.

[0005] The automatic control mode switching system requires a large number of logic circuits and programmable devices for program editing to design the program for the automatic switching mode. Therefore, its circuit structure is complex, requiring more complex programmable devices and other facilities, and the system is complex.

[0006] In addition, in order to improve automation as much as possible, the existing equipment that adopts the main and standby dual-system automatic switching mode rarely configures its signal system with a manual switching system that cooperates with the automatic switching system, so the flexibility is relatively low.

[0054] On the other hand, the present application proposes a method for realizing automatic switching of a primary and a standby dual system, the method being implemented based on the primary and standby dual system automatic switching circuit, comprising the following steps:

[0055] Turn the system selection knob switch SSS to the Auto position, and the first system and the second system will be automatically switched through the dual-system automatic switching circuit;

[0056] The switching between the primary and backup systems is automatic. When the first system starts, the second system is ready to start at any time. Once the first system fails to start, the second system starts immediately. When the second system starts, the first system is ready to start at any time. Once the second system fails to start, the first system starts immediately.

[0057] As an optional implementation scheme of the present application, optionally, the system selection knob switch SSS is turned to the Auto position, and the first system and the second system are automatically switched through the dual-system automatic switching circuit, including:

[0058] The system selection knob switch SSS is turned to the Auto position, and the coil of the time relay TR1 and the coil of the system switching relay SSR1 are energized through the first system control circuit; when the coil of the system switching relay SSR1 is energized, then:

[0059] The normally closed contact of SSR1 is disconnected, cutting off the startup and holding circuit of the second system;

[0060] The normally open contact of SSR1 is closed, the first system start circuit is energized, and the first system starts to start;

[0061] If the first system starts successfully, the first system sends a high level through the driver D1 to activate the system feedback relay SFR1, and the normally closed contact of SFR1 is disconnected, so that the first system switches to the second system circuit and disconnects, avoiding the simultaneous startup of the first system;

[0062] If the first system fails to start successfully and the system feedback relay SFR1 cannot be energized and activated, then after the delay time of the time relay TR1 expires, the normally open contact of TR1 closes, and the coil of the locking relay LR1 is energized through the LR1 activation circuit;

[0063] After the coil of the locking relay LR1 is energized, the normally open contact of LR2 is closed, and the circuit switching from the first system to the second system is activated, preparing to try to switch to the second system.

[0065] When the first system switches to the second system circuit and is activated, the coil of the time relay TR2 and the coil of the system switching relay SSR2 are energized through the second system control circuit, then:

[0066] The normally closed contact of the system switching relay SSR2 is disconnected, and the first system starts to keep the circuit de-energized, so that the coil of the system switching relay SSR1 and the coil of the time relay TR1 are de-energized, thereby de-energizing the first system;

[0067] The system switching relay SSR1 is de-energized, the normally closed contact of the system switching relay SSR1 energizes the second system startup holding circuit, and the coil of the system switching relay SSR2 and the coil of the time relay TR2 are activated;

[0070] If the second system fails to start successfully and the system feedback relay SFR2 cannot be activated, then after the delay time of the time relay TR2 expires, the normally open contact of TR2 closes, and the locking relay LR2 is energized through the LR2 activation circuit; after the LR2 coil is activated, the normally open contact of LR1 closes, and the second system switches to the first system circuit activation, and the system retries to activate the first system.

[0071] As an optional implementation scheme of the present application, optionally, the system selection knob switch SSS is turned to the Auto position, and the first system and the second system are automatically switched through the dual-system automatic switching circuit, and further comprising:

[0072] Turning the system selection knob switch SSS to the manual position directly starts the first system or the second system and enters the manual mode.

[0073] On the other hand, the present application also proposes a control system, comprising:

[0074] processor;

[0075] a memory for storing processor-executable instructions;

[0076] Wherein, the processor is configured to implement the method for realizing automatic switching of the active and standby dual systems when executing the executable instructions.

[0077] Technical effects of the present invention:

[0078] Based on the implementation scheme of the present application, the present invention can realize seamless switching of the main and standby systems, and the switching time of the two systems can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The hardware of the automatic switching solution of the main and standby dual systems uses relays to form a logic circuit, without complex programmable devices, and all logics are implemented by the logic circuit composed of relays. At the same time, a manual switching means is provided to ensure that the automatic switching of the main and standby dual systems is successful once, reduce the number of unnecessary switching times, and improve the flexibility of the application of the integrated system. The basic method of automatic switching of the dual systems designed by the present invention monitors the status of the dual systems in real time and alarms for abnormalities. It has high reliability and shortens the delay of manual switching on signal equipment.

[0079] The dual-system automatic switching achieved by the present invention ensures real-time monitoring of the status of redundant system signal equipment. It has high reliability and greatly shortens the time spent by signal equipment in the switching process. It has flexible configurability and strong scalability, and is highly compatible with the power supply interfaces of various redundant systems. It can be widely used in the subsequent development of new projects or the upgrading and transformation of old projects. All cables can be built into the integrated box, which has a small overall size and is easy and reliable to install, which is conducive to market promotion. Through the dual-system automatic switching design, the control of the signal system is more intelligent and integrated, which greatly improves the train operation efficiency. The design uses relays to build a logic circuit, so that the system has stable automatic switching performance and higher reliability.

[0080] Further features and aspects of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the attached drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0081] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.

[0082] Figure 1 The topological structure diagram of the main and standby dual system automatic switching circuit of the present invention is shown;

[0083] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram showing the circuit path signal flow of the control circuit of system 1 in the topological structure of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0084] Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.

[0085] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0086] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present disclosure, numerous specific details are given in the following specific embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can also be implemented without certain specific details. In some examples, methods, means, components and circuits well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the subject matter of the present disclosure.

[0087] In order to describe the technical principle in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the following Figure 1 The first system in the description is System 1, and the second system is described as System 2.

[0088] The terms for the facilities in the attached figure are explained as follows:

[0089] 1. SSS: System Selection Switch

[0090] The selector switch has three positions: left, middle and right. The leftmost end of the knob is for manually selecting system 1 as the main system working mode, and the rightmost end of the knob is for manually selecting system 2 as the main system working mode. When the knob is in the middle position, it is the Auto automatic switching mode. The main system working system switches between system 1 and system 2 according to the working health of the two systems, as described below in this patent.

[0091] 2. SSR: Switch System Relay

[0092] Taking the system switching relay SSR1 as an example, when the system switching relay SSR1 coil is energized, the normally closed contact of SSR1 is disconnected, cutting off the start-up holding circuit of system 2. When the system switching relay SSR1 coil is energized, the normally open contact of SSR1 is closed, the start-up circuit of system 1 is energized, and system 1 starts to start.

[0093] Similarly, when the system switching relay SSR2 coil is energized, the normally closed contact of SSR2 is disconnected, cutting off the start-up holding circuit of system 1. When the system switching relay SSR2 coil is energized, the normally open contact of SSR2 is closed, the start-up circuit of system 2 is energized, and system 1 starts to start.

[0094] 3. TR: Timer Relay

[0095] This relay is an activation delay relay. After the relay coil is activated, it takes a delay period before the contacts will act. The delay time can be manually set through the relay body. The delay time is set to be slightly longer than the system automatic start time.

[0096] 4. LR: Locking Relay

[0097] The two-winding coil latching relay has two opposite coils, namely LR1 and LR2. When the two coils are energized, the contact movement direction is opposite. When the LR1 coil is energized, the contact of LR1 is opened and the contact of LR2 is closed. After the LR1 coil is de-energized, the contact remains in the previous state. Only when the coil LR2 is energized, the contact of LR2 is opened and the contact of LR1 is closed.

[0098] LR1:

[0099] The left coil of the locking relay (see attached Figure 1 )

[0100] LR2:

[0101] The right coil of the locking relay (see attached Figure 1 )

[0102] 5. SFR: System Feedback Relay

[0103] If system 1 is successfully started, driver D1 controlled by system 1 will activate SFR1. If system 1 is not successfully started, SFR1 will not be activated.

[0104] Similarly, if the system 2 is successfully started, the driver D2 controlled by the system 2 will activate SFR2. If the system 2 is not successfully started, SFR2 will not be activated.

[0105] Attached Figure 1 In the topology, different circuits are included. Different electronic facilities have different application states, and the states of their normally open contacts and normally closed contacts are different. Therefore, their functions are different in different circuits. The bottom coil corresponds to the system switching relay, time relay or latching relay in each circuit that is compatible with the coil.

[0106] This topology includes the following circuits for switching between system 1 and system 2, and the circuit path signal flows in various states are as follows:

[0108] PWR_VCC→AUTO→TR1→TR2→LR1→SSR1 coil / TR1 coil→GND;

[0109] (2) System 1 starts the holding circuit, and the signal flow of its circuit path is:

[0110] PWR_VCC→AUTO→SSR2→SSR1 coil / TR1 coil→GND;

[0111] (3) System 1 starts the circuit, and the signal flow of the circuit path is:

[0112] PWR_VCC→SSR1→System 1→GND;

[0113] (4) System 1 switches to system 2 circuit, and the signal flow of the circuit path is:

[0114] PWR_VCC→SFR1→TR1→LR2→SSR2 coil / TR2 coil→GND;

[0115] (5) System 2 control circuit, the signal flow of its circuit path is:

[0116] PWR_VCC→AUTO→TR1→TR2→LR2→SSR2 coil / TR2 coil→GND;

[0117] (6) System 2 starts the holding circuit, and the signal flow of its circuit path is:

[0118] PWR_VCC→AUTO→SSR1→SSR2 coil / TR2 coil→GND;

[0119] (7) System 2 starts the circuit, and the signal flow of its circuit path is:

[0120] PWR_VCC→SSR2→System 2→GND;

[0121] (8) System 2 switches to the system 1 circuit, and the signal flow of the circuit path is:

[0122] PWR_VCC→SFR2→TR2→LR1→SSR1 coil / TR1 coil→GND;

[0123] (9) LR1 activation circuit, the signal flow of its circuit path is:

[0124] PWR_VCC→AUTO→SSR2→TR1→LR1 coil→GND;

[0125] (10) LR2 activation circuit, the circuit path signal flow direction is:

[0126] PWR_VCC→AUTO→SSR1→TR2→LR2 coil→GND.

[0127] The connection relationship of the electronic components of each circuit can be specifically Figure 1 The circuit is described below. Figure 2 As shown, taking the system 1 control circuit as an example, the signal flow of the circuit path passes through PWR_VCC→AUTO→TR1→TR2→LR1→SSR1 coil / TR1 coil→GND in sequence.

[0178] When system 2 fails to start successfully, the LR2 activation circuit is used to switch system 2 to system 1 circuit activation, and the system attempts to switch to system 1.

[0179] Based on the implementation principle of Example 1, on the other hand, the present application proposes a method for realizing automatic switching of the active and standby dual systems. The method is implemented based on the active and standby dual system automatic switching circuit, and comprises the following steps:

[0180] Turn the system selection knob switch SSS to the Auto position, and system 1 and system 2 will automatically switch through the dual system automatic switching circuit;

[0181] The switching between the primary and standby systems is automatic. When system 1 is started, system 2 is ready to start at any time. Once system 1 fails to start, system 2 starts immediately. When system 2 is started, system 1 is ready to start at any time. Once system 2 fails to start, system 1 starts immediately.

[0182] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0183] 1. The system selection knob switch SSS is turned to the Auto position, and the coil of the time relay TR1 and the coil of the system switching relay SSR1 are energized through the system 1 control circuit. When the coil of the system switching relay SSR1 is energized, the normally closed contact of SSR1 is disconnected, cutting off the system 2 start-up holding circuit; the coil of the time relay TR1 is energized, but the time relay needs to delay for a certain time (according to the system start-up time setting) before the TR1 contact will act.

[0184] 2. After the coil of the system switching relay SSR1 is energized, the normally open contact of SSR1 is closed, the system 1 starting circuit is energized, and system 1 starts to start;

[0185] If system 1 starts successfully, system 1 sends a high level through driver D1 to activate system feedback relay SFR1, and then the normally closed contact of SFR1 is disconnected, so that system 1 switches to system 2 circuit and cannot be energized, preventing system 2 from starting at the same time;

[0186] If system 1 fails to start successfully and the system feedback relay SFR1 cannot be energized and activated, then after the time delay of time relay TR1 expires, the normally open contact of TR1 closes, and the coil of locking relay LR1 is energized through the LR1 activation circuit. After the coil of locking relay LR1 is energized, the normally open contact of LR2 closes, and system 1 switches to system 2 circuit activation.

[0187] 3. After the system 1 switches to the system 2 circuit and is activated, the coil of the time relay TR2 and the coil of the system switching relay SSR2 are energized through the system 2 control circuit. The normally closed contact of the system switching relay SSR2 is disconnected, and the system 1 starts to keep the circuit de-energized, de-energizing the coil of the system switching relay SSR1 and the coil of the time relay TR1, thereby de-energizing the system 1 system.

[0188] 4. The system switching relay SSR1 loses power, and the normally closed contact of the system switching relay SSR1 enables the system 2 start-up and holding circuit to be energized, and the system switching relay SSR2 coil and the time relay TR2 coil are activated; the normally open contact of the system switching relay SSR2 is closed, the system 2 start-up circuit is energized, and system 2 is started.

[0189] If system 2 starts successfully, system 2 sends a high level through driver D2 to activate the coil of system feedback relay SFR2, and the normally closed contact of system feedback relay SFR2 is disconnected, so that system 2 switches to system 1 and the circuit is disconnected, avoiding simultaneous startup of system 1;

[0190] If system 2 fails to start successfully and the system feedback relay SFR2 cannot be activated, then after the delay time of time relay TR2 expires, the normally open contact of TR2 closes, and the locking relay LR2 is energized through the LR2 activation circuit; after the LR2 coil is activated, the normally open contact of LR1 closes, and system 2 switches to system 1 circuit activation, and the system tries to activate system 1 again.

[0191] The switching between the primary and standby systems is automatic. When system 1 is started, system 2 is ready to start at any time. Once system 1 fails to start, system 2 starts immediately. When system 2 is started, system 1 is ready to start at any time. Once system 2 fails to start, system 1 starts immediately.

[0192] When the system selection knob switch SSS is moved to a position other than Auto, such as being manually adjusted to the far left, system 1 receives the gear position signal and starts to start; the same is true for system 2.

[0193] Therefore, by adopting the above method, the present invention can realize seamless switching of the main and standby systems, and the switching time of the two systems can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The hardware of the automatic switching solution of the main and standby dual systems uses relays to form a logic circuit, without complex programmable devices, and all logics are implemented by the logic circuit composed of relays. At the same time, a manual switching means is provided to ensure that the automatic switching of the main and standby dual systems is successful once, reduce the number of unnecessary switching times, and improve the flexibility of the application of the integrated system. The basic method of automatic switching of the dual systems designed by the present invention monitors the status of the dual systems in real time and alarms for abnormalities. It has high reliability and shortens the delay of manual switching on signal equipment.

[0194] The dual-system automatic switching achieved by the present invention ensures real-time monitoring of the status of redundant system signal equipment. It has high reliability and greatly shortens the time spent by signal equipment in the switching process. It has flexible configurability and strong scalability, and is highly compatible with the power supply interfaces of various redundant systems. It can be widely used in the subsequent development of new projects or the upgrading and transformation of old projects. All cables can be built into the integrated box, which has a small overall size and is easy and reliable to install, which is conducive to market promotion. Through the dual-system automatic switching design, the control of the signal system is more intelligent and integrated, which greatly improves the train operation efficiency. The design uses relays to build a logic circuit, so that the system has stable automatic switching performance and higher reliability.
