[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments but not all embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0040] The above and other embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 to the accompanying drawings Figure 6 The frequency-shift pulse track circuit applied to heavy haul railway, the control method and the device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described further.

[0041] Figure 1 The frequency-shift pulse track circuit applied to heavy haul railway provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown, which comprises:

[0042] The first transmitter 101 is connected with one end of the steel rail 102, and is used for generating a frequency-shift pulse mixed signal and sending the frequency-shift pulse mixed signal through the steel rail 102.

[0043] The attenuation redundancy controller 103 is connected with the other end of the steel rail 102, and is used for receiving the frequency-shift pulse mixed signal and separating the frequency-shift pulse mixed signal into a frequency-shift signal and a pulse signal.

[0044] The receiver 104 is connected with the attenuation redundancy controller 103, and is used for receiving the frequency-shift signal and the pulse signal and taking the pulse signal as an occupation check signal of a target section.

[0045] The communication module 105 is connected with the first transmitter 101 and the receiver 104 respectively at one end, and connected with the track relay 106 at the other end;

[0046] The receiver 104 is further configured to transmit a driving signal through the communication module 105 to drive the track relay 106 to act based on the occupancy check signal.

[0047] In the embodiment, the first transmitter 101 is the signal source of the entire frequency-shift pulse track circuit, and can generate a mixed signal of pulse and frequency shift, i.e., a frequency-shift pulse mixed signal; the attenuation redundancy controller 103, also known as an attenuation isolator, can adjust the amplitude of the frequency-shift signal and the pulse signal at the receiving end, provide test conditions for signal transmission working indicator lights, power supply voltage, FBJ voltage, and power output voltage, and can provide test conditions for signal receiving working indicator lights and power supply voltage, and realize separation of the frequency-shift signal and the pulse signal in the frequency-shift pulse mixed signal; the receiver 104 can realize feature processing of the frequency-shift signal and the pulse signal, and judge the section idle state and upload track idle or occupancy information; and the communication module can realize interaction between the first transmitter 101 and the receiver 104 and the interlocking system.

[0048] It should be noted that, in the existing frequency-shift pulse track circuit, the frequency-shift signal and the pulse signal are both specified as section occupancy check signals, which can play a double signal guarantee role in occupancy check, but this setting is only suitable for track sections with a minimum ballast resistance of 2Ω·km and a reliable working section length of ≤650m in a passenger special station. After capacity expansion and reconstruction, most of the stations on heavy-haul railways are upgraded to ten-thousand-ton or twenty-thousand-ton stations, and the length of the track section in the station is relatively long. The frequency-shift signal cannot effectively reflect the shunt occupancy of the track circuit after long-distance transmission.

[0049] In order to adapt to the length of the station yard and the length of the track section on heavy-haul railways, in the embodiment, only the pulse signal is used as the section occupancy check signal, i.e., the occupancy check signal of the target section, and the frequency-shift signal is used for broken rail check and transmission of train operation information. In this case, when the target section is in an idle state, the frequency-shift signal and the pulse signal reach the pickup threshold at the same time, and the track relay 106 is controlled to be picked up at this time; when the target section is in an occupied state, the pulse signal reaches the drop threshold, and the track relay 106 is controlled to drop at this time. The above setting scheme of the section occupancy check signal can increase the working length of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit to 1150m.

[0050] In order to verify the effect brought by the improved setting scheme of the section occupancy signal in the embodiment, the following specific data in Table 1 and Table 2 are used for illustration.

[0051] Table 1 The reliable working length of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit provided in the embodiment and applied to heavy-haul lines

[0052]

[0053] Table 2: Existing frequency shift pulse track circuit applied to passenger dedicated line reliable working length

[0054]

[0055] By comparing the data shown in Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen that, compared with the existing frequency shift pulse track circuit applied to the passenger dedicated line, the frequency shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway provided in the embodiment can adapt to the lower ballast resistance condition of the heavy haul railway and can adapt to the longer track section length, because the scheme of using only pulse signals as occupation checking signals is adopted in the frequency shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway.

[0056] In the example embodiment, referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 2 The communication module 105 specifically comprises a communication interface board 201 and a coding interface device 202.

[0057] One end of the communication interface board 201 is connected with the first transmitter 101 and the receiver 104 respectively, and the other end of the communication interface board 201 is connected with the coding interface device 202, and the coding interface device 202 is further connected with the track relay 106.

[0058] Considering that the existing frequency shift pulse track circuit is applicable to the CTCS-2 and CTCS-3 level high-speed railway line station, information interaction with the train control center is carried out through the CAN communication bus, and the communication coding mode is adopted. The heavy haul railway adopts the relay coding mode and does not have a train control system. The existing frequency shift pulse track circuit cannot directly interact with the relay coding condition.

[0059] Therefore, the coding interface device 202 is additionally arranged in the embodiment, so that the conversion between the relay coding and the communication coding can be realized, the state of the track relay 106 can be acquired in real time, the coding of the frequency shift pulse track circuit can be completed, and in the actual application process, the interface information of the interlocking system can be collected by the coding interface device 202 for coding, and the coded information can be transmitted to the first transmitter 101 through the communication interface board 201 for transmission.

[0060] In the example embodiment, the frequency shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway provided by the application further comprises a direction switching circuit 203, one end of the direction switching circuit 203 is connected to the line between the first transmitter 101 and the rail 102, and the other end of the direction switching circuit 203 is connected to the line between the attenuation redundancy controller 103 and the rail 102.

[0061] The direction switching circuit 203 is used for switching the frequency shift pulse track circuit according to the driving direction of the train.

[0062] The direction switching circuit 203 in the embodiment can switch the frequency-shift pulse track circuit when the running direction of the train changes, so as to ensure normal data transmission and reception after the running direction of the train changes.

[0063] Further, the frequency-shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway provided by the present application can further comprise a second transmitter 204 and a switching relay 211, and the second transmitter 204 is connected to the line between the direction switching circuit 203 and the loss redundancy controller 103 through the switching relay 211.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 1, Figure 3 When the train runs to the right, the right end of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit is the signal sending end, and the left end is the signal receiving end. When the train changes the running direction, and the direction switching circuit 203 in the frequency-shift pulse track circuit has not been switched in time, the receiving coil in front of the train will receive the interference signal coupled from the adjacent section to the current section, which affects the safety of train operation.

[0065] In order to avoid the above problems, the second transmitter 204 is additionally provided at the signal receiving end in the embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, Figure 4 When the train enters the current section, the encoding interface device 202 is used for encoding control, the loss redundancy controller 103 and the receiver 104 are disconnected, and the second transmitter 204 is connected, and the signal is sent through the second transmitter 204.

[0066] When the train signal machine is opened, and the front wheel pair of the locomotive enters the next section from the current section, the encoding interface device 202 is used for encoding control again, the loss redundancy controller 103 and the receiver 104 are connected back to the current section, and the second transmitter 204 is disconnected.

[0067] The second transmitter 204 is additionally provided in the embodiment, and the track circuit double-end encoding mode is adopted, so that the train signal of the current section is greater than the interference signal of the adjacent line, and the train can receive the train signal of the corresponding section directly. When the train changes the running direction and the direction switching circuit has not been switched, the train can still receive the signal of the current section, the problem of adjacent line interference is avoided, and the safety of train operation is improved.

[0068] In the exemplary embodiment, the frequency-shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway provided by the present application can further comprise a first transformer 205 and a second transformer 206;

[0069] One end of the first transformer 205 is connected with the first transmitter 101 through the first transmission cable 207, and the other end of the first transformer 205 is connected with the steel rail 102; the first transformer 205 is used for matching the impedance of the first transmission cable 207 and the impedance of the steel rail 102;

[0070] One end of the second transformer 206 is connected with the loss redundancy controller 103 through the second transmission cable 208, and the other end of the second transformer 206 is connected with the steel rail 102; the second transformer 206 is used for matching the relationship between the impedance of the second transmission cable 208 and the impedance of the steel rail 102.

[0071] In the embodiment, the first transformer 205 and the second transformer 206 can both adopt a choke transformer, which is mainly used for realizing the impedance matching connection of the cable and the steel rail line and can provide a return channel of the traction current.

[0072] In the exemplary embodiment, the frequency-shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway provided by the application can further comprise a first lightning protection analog network disk 209 and a second lightning protection analog network disk 210.

[0073] The first lightning protection analog network disk 209 is connected on the line between the first transmitter 102 and the steel rail 102, and the second lightning protection analog network disk 210 is connected on the line between the loss redundancy controller 103 and the steel rail 102.

[0074] The first lightning protection analog network disk 209 and the second lightning protection analog network disk 210 are mainly used for compensating the cable and realizing the lightning protection in the horizontal and vertical directions, so as to improve the operation safety of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit.

[0075] In the actual application process, the first transmitter 101 is connected with the steel rail 102 through the first lightning protection analog network disk 209, the first transmission cable 207 and the first transformer 205 in sequence, and the loss redundancy controller 103 is connected with the steel rail 102 through the second lightning protection analog network disk 210, the second transmission cable 208 and the second transformer 206 in sequence.

[0076] The frequency-shift pulse track circuit provided by the embodiment can make the frequency-shift pulse track circuit originally applied to the passenger dedicated railway applicable to the heavy haul railway by taking only the pulse signal as the occupation inspection signal of the target section and by additionally adding the coding interface device and the second transmitter, so as to solve the problem of poor branching of the heavy haul railway.

[0077] The control method of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit provided by the application will be described below. Since the control method of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit provided by the embodiment is based on the frequency-shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway, the content about the circuit device in the control method of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit described below can be correspondingly referred to the frequency-shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway described above.

[0078] Figure 5The control method of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit is shown, and the method is based on the frequency-shift pulse track circuit applied to the heavy haul railway, and specifically includes the following steps.

[0079] Step 501: obtaining the pulse signal.

[0080] Step 502: if it is determined that the target section is in an occupied state based on the pulse signal, controlling the track relay to drop down.

[0081] The execution subject of the control method of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit provided by the embodiment can be a controller added for realizing the control process, or can be a receiver in the frequency-shift pulse track circuit, and the control process only takes the pulse signal as an occupied checking signal of the target section, and further meets the section length and the minimum ballast resistance condition of the heavy haul railway.

[0082] In the example embodiment, when the frequency-shift pulse track circuit includes the second transmitter, the method can further include the following steps.

[0083] obtaining the running direction of the train and the switching state of the frequency-shift pulse track circuit;

[0085] The control method provided by the embodiment can further connect the second transmitter when the running direction of the train is changed after the train enters the current section and the direction switching circuit is not switched, so as to ensure the normal transmission and reception of the signal in the current section, avoid the adjacent line interference problem, and improve the reliability of the control process.

[0086] Further, after the attenuation redundancy controller and the receiver are disconnected, and the second transmitter is connected, the method can further include the following steps.

[0087] obtaining the position of the front wheel set of the train;

[0088] when it is determined that the front wheel set of the train leaves the current section based on the position of the front wheel set of the train, controlling the second transmitter to be disconnected, and controlling the attenuation redundancy controller and the receiver to be connected.

[0089] The control method provided by the embodiment can further control the second transmitter to be disconnected, and restore the connection state of the attenuation redundancy controller and the receiver after the front wheel set of the train enters the next section from the current section, so as to ensure the normal transmission and reception of the signal under normal circumstances.

[0090] In summary, the control method for the frequency-shifting pulse track circuit provided by the embodiments of the present invention can make the frequency-shifting pulse track circuit better meet the application requirements of heavy-haul railways, while improving the safety and reliability of train operation.
