Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of railway track measurement, in particular to a track geometric parameter measurement system, a measurement method and a tamping vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] The railway track, as the ground foundation for train operation, has the characteristics of integrity and dispersion, and is one of the important basic equipment supporting the high-speed operation of trains.
[0003] However, with the use and the passage of time, the railway track inevitably deforms, and the geometric parameters gradually deviate from the original state, affecting the smoothness. Therefore, during the long-term maintenance process after the railway track is put into operation, high-precision detection of the track geometric smoothness is needed to ensure that the track geometric state meets the technical requirements of high smoothness and high stability.
[0004] The tamping vehicle, as a railway track rectification device, one of its functions is to eliminate the deviations of the track in use, such as track orientation, left-right level, and front-back height. The line deviation measurement system equipped with the tamping vehicle needs to arrange three chord lines, two of which are used to measure the front-back height of the left and right tracks, and the third chord line is used to measure the direction of the steel rail. The three chord lines penetrate through the vehicle body, increasing the complexity of the overall vehicle structure design, especially the two chord lines used to measure the height of the left and right tracks, which has a certain impact on the airtightness and integrity of the driver's cabin.
[0005] The above information disclosed in the background art is only used to strengthen the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore it can contain information which does not form the prior art known to those skilled in the art. SUMMARY
