[0002] Railway power supply equipment is a key facility to ensure the normal operation of railway power supply and electrified railways. The pantograph is a key device for electric locomotives or EMUs to obtain power from the contact network system. Installed on the top of the locomotive or carriage, it ensures the continuity and stability of power transmission through contact with the contact network. The design and performance of the pantograph directly affect the operating efficiency and safety of the train. During the operation of the EMU, the pantograph is in continuous contact with the overhead contact network, thereby providing a stable power supply for the EMU. In this process, the pantograph will be subject to varying degrees of wear and vibration, which may cause various defects.

[0003] At present, traditional detection methods mainly rely on manual inspection and regular maintenance, which have problems such as low efficiency, high cost and poor reliability. Manual inspection usually requires the train to be stopped and specialized technicians to conduct detailed inspections of the pantograph, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also affects the normal operation of the train.

The deformation defect coefficient Xbxs is calculated by formula, using material property data such as surface free energy γ, Young's modulus E and stress σ to ensure the scientificity and accuracy of the calculation. Similarly, the crack defect coefficient Lwxs is calculated by related formulas, which fully considers the physical and mechanical characteristics of the material. The comprehensive calculation unit performs dimensionless processing on the deformation defect coefficient Xbxs and crack defect coefficient Lwxs of the slider with the bolt preload TJ and nut torque TN at the connection of the pantograph firmware, and comprehensively calculates the comprehensive equipment defect coefficient Sbqx. The comprehensive calculation formula takes into account the proportional relationship between the deformation defect and the crack defect, and ensures the accuracy and representativeness of the comprehensive equipment defect coefficient through the proportional coefficient a1.

[0119] Example 7

[0120] This embodiment is explained in Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 ,Specifically: the intelligent evaluation module includes a vibration evaluation unit and a defect evaluation unit;

[0121] The vibration evaluation unit is used to perform a preliminary comparative analysis of the abnormal vibration of the pantograph during the operation of the EMU based on the obtained vibration coefficient Zdxs and the preset abnormal vibration threshold Z. The specific evaluation scheme is as follows;

[0122] When the vibration coefficient Zdxs ≥ the vibration abnormality threshold Z, it means that the pantograph vibration is abnormal, and further defect assessment is performed at this time;

[0123] When the vibration coefficient Zdxs is less than the abnormal vibration threshold Z, it means that the pantograph vibration is normal and no further analysis is required;

[0124] The defect assessment unit is used to perform a defect assessment on the pantograph firmware connection position and the slider according to the obtained pantograph defect coefficient Sdgx and the preset equipment defect threshold Q, and further analyze the cause of the vibration. The specific assessment scheme is as follows;

[0125] When the pantograph defect coefficient Sdgx>equipment defect threshold Q, it means that the connection firmware and the slider of the pantograph are defective and abnormal. At this time, the first warning information is generated to notify the relevant staff to stop the car for maintenance;

[0126] When the pantograph defect coefficient Sdgx = equipment defect threshold Q, it means that the pantograph connection firmware and sliding piece are loose and worn. At this time, the second warning information is generated to notify the relevant staff to carry out inspection and maintenance after the train journey is completed;

[0127] When the pantograph defect coefficient Sdgx is less than the equipment defect threshold Q, it indicates that there is no abnormality in the connection firmware and the slider of the pantograph. At this time, the third warning information is generated to notify the relevant staff to check the shock absorber system of the pantograph.

[0128] In this embodiment, the system realizes intelligent evaluation of the pantograph state through the vibration evaluation unit and the defect evaluation unit through the intelligent evaluation module. First, the vibration abnormality threshold Z is preset through the vibration evaluation unit, and a preliminary comparative evaluation is performed with the obtained vibration coefficient Zdxs to analyze whether the vibration of the pantograph in different states is abnormal. At the same time, when the pantograph vibration is detected to be abnormal, the defect evaluation unit is quickly started to compare and analyze whether there are abnormal defects between the pantograph slider and the connecting firmware according to the pantograph defect coefficient Sdgx, and the corresponding warning level is output according to the evaluation results through relevant staff. This method can quickly judge the vibration state, identify abnormalities in time; accurately locate and diagnose defects, provide targeted warning information; generate warning information of different levels, and optimize the allocation of maintenance resources. Compared with traditional methods, the intelligent evaluation module improves the accuracy and reliability of pantograph monitoring, reduces the risk of misjudgment and missed judgment, ensures the safety of EMU operation, and improves the timeliness and pertinence of maintenance work.
