DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The technical solution of the present invention is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation methods.

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, a railway signal interlocking automatic conversion positioning safety device includes a signal interlocking motor drive control circuit 1, a drive motor 2, a right-angle worm gear reducer 3, a coupling 4, a pull-push rotating rod assembly 5, a magnetic sensor 6, a linear guide slider 7, a displacement block 8, a linear guide 9, a limit block 10, a limit switch 11, and an emergency circuit 12. The input end of the signal interlocking motor drive control circuit 1 is connected to the railway signal lighting unit circuit, and the output end is connected to the drive motor 2. The output end of the drive motor 2 is connected to the right-angle worm gear reducer 3. The output shaft of the right-angle worm gear reducer 3 is connected to the coupling 4. The other end of the coupling 4 is connected to the traction and push rotating rod assembly 5. A cylindrical vertical support rod 501 is arranged at the lower part of the traction and push rotating rod assembly 5. The vertical support rod 501 is provided with a fixed bearing 502 for horizontal fixed positioning. A horizontal rotating rod 503 is arranged at the upper part of the traction and push rotating rod assembly 5. A traction positioning fixing column 504 and a traction rolling bearing 506 are installed at one end of the horizontal rotating rod 503, and a propulsion positioning fixing column 505 and a propulsion rolling bearing 507 are installed at the other end; the magnetic sensor 6 is connected to the linear guide sliders 701, 702 and the displacement blocks 801, 802 through The plate is installed as a whole, and the linear guide sliders 701 and 702 are respectively located on the linear guides 901 and 902. The displacement blocks 801 and 802 are pulled or pushed by the traction rolling bearing 505 or the propulsion rolling bearing 507 during the rotation of the pulling and pushing rotating rod assembly 5 to perform positive or reverse horizontal displacement along the linear guides 901 and 902, thereby realizing the positioning and reverse position movement conversion of the magnetic sensor 6; the emergency circuit 12 automatically intervenes when an abnormal situation such as a power failure occurs in the signal interlocking device, outputs a reverse voltage to the drive motor 2, and transmits or locks the magnetic sensor 6 to the reverse position by pulling and pushing the rotating rod assembly 5; limit blocks 101 and 102 and a positive limit switch 111 and a reverse limit switch 112 are installed at both ends of the linear guide 901, which can lock the magnetic sensor 6 at the set positioning and reverse positions.

[0015] like Figure 2As shown, the signal interlocking motor drive control circuit 1 is mainly composed of 5 groups of AC220V 3-open and 3-closed relays and a motor drive power supply circuit, which is used for signal machine permission or prohibition signal state recognition and drive motor forward and reverse voltage conversion control; the emergency circuit 12 is mainly composed of a group of batteries and a group of double-open and double-closed relays, which is used to provide reverse voltage to the drive motor 2 when a power outage occurs in the signal interlocking device.

[0016] like Figure 3 As shown, the device of the present invention should be installed in front of the railway signal machine, fastened to one side of the rail by a fixing clip, and the outer shell is made of non-metallic material.

[0017] The electrical circuit of the device of the present invention is connected to the circuit connection terminal of the signal lighting unit, and can automatically switch the position of the magnetic sensor according to the change of the signal display. When the signal is allowed, the magnetic sensor is locked in the reverse position, and the normal passage of the locomotive is not affected; when the signal is prohibited, the magnetic sensor is locked in the positioning position. If the locomotive does not stop driving in time and pass the safety device, the locomotive sensor will sense and generate a voltage pulse signal, which will be transmitted to the LKJ2000 train monitoring system to complete the automatic air release braking of the locomotive, preventing the locomotive from "running a red light", squeezing a turnout or colliding with the side of the railway. Specifically: (1) When the signal changes from an enabling signal (green, yellow, white) to a prohibiting signal (red, blue), the signal interlocking motor drive control circuit 1 outputs a positive control voltage to the drive motor 2, and drives the traction and push rotating rod assembly 5 to rotate clockwise through the right-angle worm gear reducer 3 and the coupling 4. When the horizontal rotating rod 503 rotates 180 degrees, the traction rolling bearing 506 will reach the inner side of the displacement block 801 and pull the magnetic sensor 6 along the linear guides 901 and 902 to move in the positioning direction. When the horizontal rotating rod 503 rotates 360 degrees clockwise, the traction rolling bearing 506 enters the idle state, and the push rolling bearing 507 takes over and enters the working state, pushing the magnetic sensor 6 from the outer side of the displacement block 802 along the linear guides 901 and 902 to continue to move in the positioning direction. When the magnetic sensor 6 reaches the positioning position, the positive limit switch 111 will be triggered, the power supply line of the drive motor 2 will be disconnected, the traction and push rotating rod assembly 5 will stop running, and the magnetic sensor 6 will be locked in the positioning position.

[0018] (2) When the signal maintains the prohibition signal (red, blue) unchanged, the positive limit switch 111 remains unchanged, the power supply circuit of the drive motor 2 remains disconnected, and the magnetic sensor 6 is still locked in the positioning position.

[0019] (3) When the signal changes from a prohibition signal (red, blue) to an permission signal (green, yellow, white), the signal interlock motor drive control circuit 1 outputs a reverse control voltage to the drive motor 2, and drives the traction and push rotating rod assembly 5 to rotate counterclockwise through the right-angle worm gear reducer 3 and the coupling 4. When the horizontal rotating rod 503 rotates 180 degrees, the traction rolling bearing 506 will reach the inner side of the displacement block 802 and pull the magnetic sensor 6 to move in the reverse direction along the linear guides 901 and 902. When the horizontal rotating rod 503 rotates 360 degrees counterclockwise, the traction rolling bearing 506 enters the idle state, and the push rolling bearing 507 takes over and enters the working state, pushing the magnetic sensor 6 from the outer side of the displacement block 801 along the linear guides 901 and 902 to continue to move in the reverse direction. When the magnetic sensor 6 reaches the reverse position, the reverse limit switch 112 will be triggered, the power supply line of the drive motor 2 will be disconnected, the traction and push rotating rod assembly 5 will stop running, and the magnetic sensor 6 will be locked in the reverse position.

[0020] (4) When the traffic light maintains the permission signal (green, yellow, white) unchanged, the reverse limit switch 112 remains unchanged, the power supply circuit of the drive motor 2 remains disconnected, and the magnetic sensor 6 is still locked in the reverse position.

[0021] (5) When the signal interlocking device is working normally, the emergency circuit 12 relay controls to disconnect the emergency battery pack power supply line, and the operation of the signal interlocking automatic conversion positioning safety device is not affected in any way. When the signal interlocking device encounters abnormal conditions such as power outages, the emergency circuit 12 relay controls to connect the emergency battery pack power supply line and output reverse voltage to the drive motor 2. If the previous signal machine displays a permission signal (green, yellow, white), then since the reverse limit switch 112 is in the disconnected state at this time, the drive motor 2 power supply line is disconnected, and the magnetic sensor (6) is locked in the reverse position unchanged; if the previous signal machine displays a prohibition signal (red, blue), then the drive motor 2 starts to rotate in the reverse direction, and through the right-angle worm gear reducer 3 and the coupling 4, the pull-pushing rotating rod assembly 5 rotates counterclockwise. When the horizontal rotating rod 503 rotates 180 degrees After that, the traction rolling bearing 506 will reach the inner side of the displacement block 802 and pull the magnetic sensor 6 to move in the reverse direction along the linear guide rails 901 and 902. When the horizontal rotating rod 503 rotates 360 degrees counterclockwise, the traction rolling bearing 506 enters the idle state, and the pushing rolling bearing 507 takes over and enters the working state, pushing the magnetic sensor 6 from the outer side of the displacement block 801 along the linear guide rails 901 and 902 to continue to move in the reverse direction. When the magnetic sensor 6 reaches the reverse position, the reverse limit switch 112 will be triggered, the power supply line of the drive motor 2 will be disconnected, the traction and pushing rotating rod assembly 5 will stop running, and the magnetic sensor 6 will be locked in the reverse position.
