Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for diagnosing failure of a chord measurement sensor, which can be applied to an efficient method for testing whether a railway rail corrugation trolley sensor adopting the chord measurement technology on the market is operating normally. Background Art

[0002] Rail corrugation is a periodic, wave-shaped, uneven wear on the rail surface. It is the main cause of severe high-frequency vibration in the wheel-rail system and is more common in subway lines.

[0003] However, track corrugation detection equipment that uses the string measurement method may have sensor failure, which further leads to deviations in the measurement of short-wave track unevenness, causing a waste of track maintenance resources at the very least, and even threatening driving safety in serious cases.

[0004] How to propose a reasonable and efficient diagnostic method for the failure of sensors in track shortwave irregularity detection equipment and improve the efficiency of track operation and maintenance is a problem that technical personnel in this field often consider.

[0005] Technical solutions commonly used in the prior art: such as the prior patent (Wang Ping, Wang Yuan, Wang Li, etc. A method and device for measuring track unevenness [P]. Sichuan Province: CN110029544B, 2020-07-24.), which specifically discloses a method and device for measuring track unevenness, based on a measurement method of multi-point multi-order chord measurement method, measuring multiple groups of combined chord measurement values ​​in the target section according to a preset sampling step, and based on the measurement process of multi-point multi-order chord measurement method and the fact that the matrix of multiple groups of combined chord measurement values ​​is equal to the product of the measurement matrix and the matrix composed of adjacent discretizations of the geometric shape and position of the rail, a measurement model for measuring short-wave unevenness of the rail is established, and the track unevenness is obtained by constructing an optimization model of the measurement model and inverting and solving the optimization model. In this way, the detection data of multiple measuring points can be effectively integrated, and the measurement error can be controlled by solving the linear system, thereby improving the measurement accuracy while ensuring a smaller measurement wavelength resolution; and through the combined optimization of the measuring point positions of the chord measurement method, the maximum utilization of the sensors at the measuring points can be achieved to obtain higher-precision measurement results.
