[0021] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a track test equipment vehicle, including an upper frame 10 and a lower frame 11. The top and rear of the upper frame 10 are equipped with equipment mounting plates, on which various types of detection equipment such as probes and cameras can be installed. An equipment cabinet 18 is extended from the rear of the lower frame 11 to the interior of the upper frame. A seat 12 is arranged on the upper frame 10 in front of the equipment cabinet 18, and tread wheels are arranged below the lower frame. The tread wheels include a driving wheel 13 as a front wheel of the equipment vehicle and a driven wheel 14 as a rear wheel. The two sets of driving wheels 13 are installed through a driving shaft system 15. A driving motor 16 and a controller 22 are also arranged on the driving shaft system 15 to drive and control the rotation of the driving wheel 13. The driven wheel 14 is installed through two sets of driven shaft systems 17 with a half-axle structure. An encoder 24 is arranged on the driven shaft system 17 to provide data collection such as vehicle speed. The driving shaft system 15 and the driven shaft system 17 are both connected to the lower frame 11 through a shock absorber seat.

[0023] Preferably, the tread wheel adopts a rubber-coated wheel, the wheel core adopts a forged steel material, the tread adopts a polyurethane material, and the rim profile is designed according to the LM type shape of TB 449. The polyurethane material is responsible for ensuring that the wheel and the rail have a sufficient friction coefficient, providing traction and braking force for the whole vehicle to meet the design requirements. The hardness of the polyurethane is best controlled at Shore A90~92; by using a rubber-coated wheel, the wheel-rail adhesion coefficient can reach about 0.5, which can maximize the driving force of the whole vehicle and shorten the braking distance.

[0024] In order to accommodate more testing equipment, the equipment cabinet 18 has multiple layers of storage space. Each layer of storage space is an open structure and has removable partition panels, wiring troughs, and heat dissipation functions, which can meet the installation requirements of industrial computers, KVM multi-computer switches and other equipment. In order to ensure a reasonable layout, the equipment cabinet 18 is arranged behind the lower frame 11 and extends toward the upper frame, and is behind the seat 12.

[0025] A control console 25 is arranged on the upper frame in front of the seat 12. The control console 25 has a human-machine interface 23 and a joystick 27 electrically connected to the controller 22. The drive motor is a brushless DC differential motor, which can pass through a small radius (110m) track line and an ultra-high (25mm) track line, with a speed of up to 20 km / h. The operation is stable and safe, and the stepless speed regulation and cruise control functions of the equipment vehicle are realized through the controller on the drive shaft system and the human-machine interface 23 and joystick 27 on the control console 25.

[0026] In order to power the entire vehicle drive and the detection equipment in the equipment cabinet, a drive battery 20 is arranged under the control panel 25, and a power supply battery 21 is arranged under the seat 12. The drive battery is used to drive the motor and the controller for power supply. The power supply battery 21 provides 220V AC power on the control panel and the equipment cabinet through a power conversion circuit to meet the detection work during the driving of the equipment vehicle.

[0027] Since the vehicle's driving power is provided by the battery, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the vehicle, the line and the personnel. Therefore, interlocking monitoring technology, high-voltage insulation detection and automatic power-off protection technology can be used. When the vehicle starts, the system will power on only when it detects that the high-voltage connector is well connected. During the operation of the vehicle, if the high-voltage connector is detected to be loose or disconnected, the high-voltage circuit will be disconnected in time to avoid potential safety accidents. The high-voltage and high-power components on the vehicle are equipped with over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature and other protection functions, and the relevant alarm information is always transmitted to the host computer through the CAN bus for real-time monitoring and fault analysis.

[0028] In addition, the battery of the equipment vehicle uses a lithium iron phosphate battery, which will not explode. The battery is a constant power output battery and is designed to run continuously for 4 to 6 hours without additional heat dissipation. The battery installation position adopts an open structure, and the car can dissipate heat through natural wind when it is running. The battery contains a battery management system, including overcurrent protection (automatic power-off when the current is abnormal), ground short-circuit protection (automatic power-off when the grounding is abnormal or a short circuit occurs), low battery protection (automatically disconnects the battery cell when it is not used / charged for a long time to protect the battery cell group) and a reactivation device (24V DC activator).

[0029] The vehicle's high-voltage and high-power electrical components contain leakage protection sensors, which can automatically cut off the circuit when a slight imbalance in current occurs, thus playing a role in leakage protection. The vehicle is equipped with a leakage current Hall sensor on the high-voltage busbar, which can monitor the leakage of the high-voltage circuit at all times. The system will issue a fault alarm and disconnect the high-voltage circuit in time.

[0030] In order to achieve braking of the equipment vehicle, the driving shaft system and the driven shaft system share a set of hydraulic disc brake system 19. Each wheel side half shaft is equipped with a disc brake device with corresponding brake disc and brake caliper. A brake pedal 26 of the disc brake system is arranged in front of the left side of the seat. The pedal is equipped with a power-off switch. The oil pump of the hydraulic disc brake system 19 supplies oil to the four disc brake devices. The driving motor is equipped with a mechanical brake, which can be mechanically braked through the motor handle or the control panel button. The above two braking modes are independent of each other to meet the requirements of emergency braking and conventional braking.

[0031] In addition to achieving service braking, the hydraulic disc brake system also has a parking brake function. When parking, the oil chamber is depressurized and the parking piston moves toward the friction pair under the action of the parking spring, pushing the service piston, single-sided friction plate, and brake disc in turn. Torque is established between the friction plate and the brake disc to prevent the brake disc from rotating.

[0032] In addition, the seat 12 can accommodate 1-2 persons, each seat is equipped with a safety belt, a sunshade 29 is arranged above the seat, a lighting lamp 30 and a speaker 31 are installed above the front side of the control panel 25, and a tool box 28 is arranged at the lower front side. The tool box 28 is manually detachable, and the top cover can be opened and closed to provide storage space.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
