Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of rail transit, and particularly relates to an intelligent wheel axle detector and monitoring system for spoke wheel sensors. BACKGROUND

[0002] The axle counting equipment is currently widely used in the fields of national railways, local railways, urban rails, straddle-type monorails, cloud rails and suspended air rails. The axle counting equipment includes indoor equipment and outdoor equipment, and is used for detecting the occupied / idle state of an axle counting section in real time. The wheel is detected through a sensor in the outdoor equipment, and then the wheel detection result is transmitted to the axle counting host in the indoor equipment through a cable line. The axle counting host calculates the axle number recorded when a train enters or exits the axle counting point of the rail section, so as to determine whether the axle counting section is in an occupied state or an idle state. The sensor in the outdoor equipment currently widely uses a spoke wheel sensor, which has the advantages of strong anti-interference performance and long effective detection distance. The spoke wheel sensor cooperates with the wheel axle detector to complete the detection of the train wheel.

[0003] As shown in Figure 1 , the use mode of the traditional wheel axle detector is as follows: it is placed on the trackside, and the cables of the first receiving magnetic head 1, the first transmitting magnetic head 2, the second receiving magnetic head 3 and the second transmitting magnetic head 4 are connected to the wheel axle detector 5 through the wiring terminals. The first receiving magnetic head 1 and the first transmitting magnetic head 2 form the first group of magnetic heads, and the second receiving magnetic head 3 and the second transmitting magnetic head 4 form the second group of magnetic heads, and the two groups of magnetic heads jointly realize the judgment of the train direction. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the traditional wheel axle detector generally includes two groups of wheel detection modules and FSK modulation modules at the board end. One group of wheel detection modules is used for connecting with the first transmitting magnetic head 2 and the first receiving magnetic head 1 respectively, and the other group of wheel detection modules is used for connecting with the second transmitting magnetic head 4 and the second receiving magnetic head 3 respectively. The circuit structures in the two groups of wheel detection modules are the same, except that the working frequencies are different. Both of them include a power supply circuit, a transmitting signal generating circuit, a transmitting signal amplifying circuit, a receiving signal amplifying circuit, a receiving signal phase discriminating circuit, a receiving signal filtering circuit and a receiving signal amplitude discriminating circuit, etc. When the axle counting equipment is normally working and there is no wheel above the magnetic head, both of the two wheel detection modules output high level. When there is a wheel above the magnetic head, both of the two wheel detection modules output low level. The order of the level edge jump of the outputs of the two wheel detection modules can determine the direction of the train running.

[0004] However, the traditional wheel axle detector can only cooperate with the spoke wheel sensor to detect the wheel and does not have monitoring capability. In the actual application of the axle counting device, once the axle counting device fails, due to the lack of effective outdoor device monitoring means, the fault point cannot be accurately located, and at the same time, due to the particularity of the use environment of the outdoor device, various types of faults occur, including axis loss caused by improper installation of the magnetic head, power supply abnormality caused by outdoor bad weather, and electrical parameter faults or electrical parameter drift caused by temperature, humidity and device aging of each electrical module of the wheel axle detector, etc., thereby greatly increasing the difficulty of daily maintenance, fault troubleshooting and fault handling time, and affecting the normal operation of the railway. On the other hand, the wheel axle detector is usually several hundred meters to several kilometers away from the axle counting host, and if outdoor monitoring equipment is added to complete the monitoring of the outdoor equipment, optical / electrical cables need to be laid for the monitoring equipment, which has high laying cost.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the performance of the existing outdoor equipment and increase the board-level monitoring capability, and it is also a technical problem to be solved how to transmit the board-end monitoring information to the indoor equipment at the lowest cost. SUMMARY

[0125] Further, each feature parameter sent by the first acquisition module and the second acquisition module is compared with a preset reference value corresponding to the feature parameter, and monitoring information is generated after the comparison, and the specific process is as follows:

[0126] If the absolute value of the difference between the fifth amplitude parameter and the preset reference value corresponding to the fifth amplitude parameter is less than the first threshold value, monitoring information representing that the fifth amplitude parameter is a high level is generated; in the embodiment, the preset reference value corresponding to the fifth amplitude parameter is preferably set as a logic high level;
