[0037] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic external structure diagram of a monorail train provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] The running gear on-line monitoring system applicable to a monorail bogie includes:

[0040] Data acquisition components respectively installed on both sides of the bogie in the first direction; that is, one data acquisition component is installed on each of the left and right sides of each bogie. That is, four data acquisition components are installed on each carriage, that is Figure 2 ​The four data acquisition components shown in

[0041] Thermal and vibration composite sensors installed on each of the walking wheels and each of the horizontal wheels; that is, sixteen thermal and vibration composite sensors are configured and installed in each carriage, namely, Figure 2 The twelve horizontal wheel thermal and vibration composite sensors and the four walking wheel thermal and vibration composite sensors shown in

[0042] Rotation speed sensors installed on each of the walking wheels; that is, four rotation speed sensors are configured and installed in each carriage, namely, Figure 2 The four walking wheel rotation speed sensors shown in

[0043] Triaxial acceleration sensors installed on the bogie; that is, two triaxial acceleration sensors are configured and installed in each carriage, and one triaxial acceleration sensor is configured and installed on each bogie.

[0044] On-vehicle dynamic data processing terminals and network monitoring hosts installed inside the head of the monorail train;

[0045] Among them, the data acquisition components are used to collect the vibration parameters and temperature parameters of the walking wheels and the horizontal wheels through the thermal and vibration composite sensors, collect the rotation speed parameters of the walking wheels through the rotation speed sensors, collect the acceleration parameters of the bogie through the triaxial acceleration sensors, and upload the collected data to the on-vehicle dynamic data processing terminal.

[0046] The on-vehicle dynamic data processing terminal is used to process the data uploaded by the data acquisition components, and upload the processing results to the network monitoring host for on-line monitoring of the running part.

[0047] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the data collected by each sensor is collected in real time and at high speed by the data acquisition components, pre-processed and then uploaded to the on-vehicle dynamic data processing terminal. The on-vehicle dynamic data processing terminal performs fault model analysis and arithmetic processing, accurately identifies the running states of each component in real time, makes early warnings and hierarchical warnings, etc., and uploads the processing results to the network monitoring host TCMS for alarm prompts, realizing the dynamic on-line monitoring of the running part state of the monorail bogie, and providing guarantee for the operation safety of the straddle-type monorail train.

[0048] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the data transmission mode between the data acquisition components and the on-vehicle dynamic data processing terminal is Ethernet transmission or bus communication transmission.

[0049] It should be noted that the data transmission method between the data acquisition component and the vehicle-mounted dynamic data processing terminal can also be other types of data transmission methods. In the embodiments of the present invention, only Ethernet transmission or bus communication transmission is described as the optimal embodiment.

[0050] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted dynamic data processing terminal is further configured to upload the processing result to the backend server.

[0051] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted dynamic data processing terminal is further configured to upload the processing result to the ground backend server, where big data operation and analysis are performed, the health status of the vehicle running gear is intelligently identified, and a trend warning determination is made.

[0052] That is to say, based on the fault diagnosis technology of generalized resonance and resonance demodulation, the running gear online monitoring system applicable to the monorail bogie provided by the embodiments of the present invention simultaneously monitors three physical quantities of impact, vibration, and temperature of the bearing through the temperature-vibration composite sensor installed at the key positions of the running gear, realizes early warning and graded alarm for bearing faults, accurately guides the operation and maintenance of the vehicle, and the results can be displayed in the driver's cab at the front of the vehicle (i.e., displayed through the network monitoring display), or the alarm information can be sent to the server and the client through the vehicle control system, and the bearing temperature and vibration data can be stored.

[0055] Among them, the communication method between the vehicle-mounted dynamic data processing terminal and the backend server includes but is not limited to data transmission by means of 4G or 5G network communication.

[0056] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 4 ,Figure 4 A schematic top view of the structure of a bogie provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] The data acquisition assembly is suspended on the C-shaped groove under the carriage floor by T-shaped bolts through an L-shaped mounting bracket.

[0058] Two adjacent temperature-vibration composite sensors share a wiring harness.

[0059] The wiring harness and the data acquisition component are connected via a 10-pin aviation connector.

[0060] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, due to the special operating environment of the straddle-type monorail vehicle and the fact that the wheels are rubber pneumatic tires, the up and down amplitude is large during operation, and the amplitude change is greatly affected by the rail surface, tire pressure, and tire temperature. It is necessary to overcome the irregular amplitude interference of the bogie itself, and to meet the accuracy of data collection under time-varying conditions. In addition, due to the large difference between the structure of the monorail bogie and the wheel-rail train, the outer ring of the bearing (wheel core) is transported with the wheel, etc., in the embodiment of the present invention, the installation of each component is also adaptively improved.

[0061] Among them, the vehicle-mounted dynamic data processing terminal is installed in the seat of the front passenger compartment, fixed on the vehicle floor through a mounting bracket, and close to the vehicle's network monitoring host TCMS. It is mainly responsible for processing, collecting, diagnosing and storing data transmitted by the front-end data acquisition components. It has built-in online fault diagnosis intelligent system software, which can automatically diagnose in real time online and give diagnostic results in real time.

[0062] Each carriage is equipped with four data acquisition components. One data acquisition component is installed on the left and right sides of each bogie in each carriage. The data acquisition components are hoisted on the C-shaped slot under the vehicle floor by T-shaped bolts through L-shaped mounting brackets. The front-end data acquisition component realizes the sensor ID configuration management of the measurement points under its jurisdiction, collects and pre-processes the signals of each sensor in real time, and transmits data at high speed with the on-board dynamic data processing terminal through Ethernet or bus communication.

[0063] like Figure 4 The figure mainly reflects the wiring diagram of a data acquisition instrument and a temperature-vibration composite sensor on a bogie. Each temperature-vibration composite sensor is laid with a set of 5×0.5mm 2 The shielded wire of the two temperature-vibration composite sensors is combined into a wiring harness composed of a bellows and a tee, and connected to the corresponding data acquisition components by a 10-pin aviation connector.

[0064] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the installation structure between a traveling wheel and a sensor provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] The temperature and vibration composite sensor installed on the traveling wheel is held by two semi-circular aluminum alloy structural parts around the hollow axle of the traveling wheel.

[0066] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the temperature and vibration composite sensor installed on the running wheel is held by two semi-circular aluminum alloy structural parts around the hollow axle of the running wheel, fixed by four sets of bolt assemblies, and the temperature and vibration composite sensor is closely attached to the hollow axle of the running wheel to measure three physical quantities of axle impact, vibration, and temperature in real time. The front-end data acquisition component is connected to the temperature and vibration composite sensor by a wired method to collect the measurement signals of the temperature and vibration composite sensor in real time at high speed.

[0067] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 which is a schematic diagram of the installation structure between a horizontal wheel and a sensor provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] The temperature and vibration composite sensor installed on the horizontal wheel is fixed to the vertical axle of the horizontal wheel by two horizontal wheel mounting bolts.

[0069] Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting bracket for the vertical axle of a horizontal wheel provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Two stop seats are provided on the mounting bracket for the vertical axle of the horizontal wheel, and the stop seats are used to restrict the vertical movement and longitudinal movement of the horizontal wheel.

[0070] A cover plate installed on the stop seat, and the cover plate is used to restrict the lateral movement of the horizontal wheel.

[0071] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the temperature and vibration composite sensor is composed of a flat bracket and a sensor, and is directly fixed to the vertical axle of the horizontal wheel by two horizontal wheel mounting bolts. The temperature and vibration composite sensor is closely attached to the vertical axle of the horizontal wheel to measure three physical quantities of axle impact, vibration, and temperature in real time. The front-end data acquisition component is connected to the temperature and vibration composite sensor by a wired method to collect the measurement signals of the temperature and vibration composite sensor in real time at high speed.

[0072] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7 , due to the special structure of the vertical axle and the need to bear large bending moments and torques during turning, in order to ensure the safety of the horizontal wheel, two stop seats are welded on the mounting bracket to restrict the vertical and longitudinal movement of the horizontal wheel, and a cover plate is installed on the stop seat to restrict the lateral movement of the horizontal wheel, thereby improving the reliability of the installation of the horizontal wheel.

[0073] As can be seen from the above description, the present invention provides an on-line monitoring system for the running gear applicable to a monorail bogie. In view of the special structure of the monorail bogie, a hoop-type running wheel temperature and vibration composite sensor installation structure and a vertical axle horizontal wheel temperature and vibration composite sensor installation structure are also designed, which can better adapt to the structural characteristics of monorail vehicles and improve the driving safety.
