Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of ballastless track monitoring, and in particular discloses a bridge ballastless track monitoring system. Background Art
[0002] Ballastless track generally includes structures such as roadbed plate, base plate and sleeper. Ballastless track is widely used due to its good smoothness, good stability, long service life and good durability. For example, Taiping Lake Bridge, the main bridge of Taiping Lake Bridge is a seamless double-track bridge with a temperature span of 394 meters, which is the largest temperature span of domestic high-speed railways. CRTS I type double-block ballastless track is laid on the main line bridge of the whole bridge and a track temperature regulator is set. The main bridge is located on a longitudinal slope of 1‰ in both directions, and the slope change point is located in the middle of the main span. The plane of the main bridge is located on a straight line with a line spacing of 5.0m. Compared with highway bridges, the high speed, high comfort and high safety requirements of railways put forward more stringent requirements on bridge structures. The basic characteristics of high-speed railways are heavy loads and high-speed operation, so the bridge structure must have sufficient bearing capacity, sufficient stiffness, good dynamic characteristics, and should also have good wind resistance and earthquake resistance. High-speed driving causes the bridge's dynamic response to be particularly significant. Once the bridge is diseased or the structure is damaged, the structure is prone to large vibrations, which reduces the train's riding comfort and even endangers high-speed driving safety. At the same time, the low-tower cable-stayed bridge is a highly statically indeterminate structure. Affected by temperature and external loads, the internal force and linear shape of the bridge vary greatly. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the main bridge of the Taiping Lake Bridge during operation to provide a real-time basis for the operation and management of the bridge.
[0003] After a bridge is built and put into operation, its working condition depends to a certain extent on the level of maintenance and management. The maintenance of a bridge is inseparable from advanced maintenance technology and scientific and technological means, and more importantly, advanced scientific management.
[0004] At present, the maintenance and management of bridges in the operation stage mainly rely on manual inspection, which is not standardized, comprehensive and timely. At the same time, Taiping Lake Bridge is a high-speed railway bridge, which adopts a fully enclosed driving mode.

The optical fiber patch strain sensor is arranged on the base plate and between the base plate and the bridge to compare the vertical dynamic test of the large-span ballastless track. The optical fiber temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the roadbed plate at different heights.

The detection errors caused by vehicles and high-speed trains can also be reduced by optimizing the detection system. However, the detection structure of the non-contact displacement sensor will change due to its position change, and the error cannot be eliminated through system optimization. Therefore, a laser base is provided in this scheme, and a vibration sensor and a universal ball are provided on the laser base. The vibration sensor can detect whether there is a high-speed train running on the track, and the universal ball can ensure that the laser is always in a vertical state.

Optical fiber patch strain sensors are provided on the base plate and between the base plate and the bridge. Four optical fiber patch strain sensors are provided on the surface of the base plate, three of which are provided below one side of the sleeper, and the other is provided on the other side of the sleeper; optical fiber patch strain sensors are provided at the four corners between the base plate and the bridge.
[0020] The fiber grating temperature testing unit includes a fiber optic temperature sensor 3, which is arranged inside the track bed plate 1; a total of 12 fiber optic temperature sensors 3 are arranged, with four in each group, and a group of fiber optic temperature sensors 3 are arranged vertically, and three groups of fiber optic temperature sensors 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of two sleepers and between two sleepers.
[0021] The relative displacement test unit includes a mounting circular hole 4, an inductive iron plate 5 and a non-contact displacement sensor. The inductive iron plate 5 is arranged on the ballast plate 1, which is pre-buried inside the ballast plate 1 and located between two sleepers. The mounting circular hole 4 is arranged on the left and right sides and the front and rear end faces of the ballast plate 1, and the non-contact displacement sensor is arranged on the mounting circular hole 4 and the inductive iron plate 5. The diameter of the mounting circular hole 4 is about 5mm (determined according to the diameter of the general expansion bolt), and the spacing between the two holes is 50mm; the size of the inductive iron plate 5 is: 90mm*100mm*6mm. Next to the position of the inductive iron plate 5, a small pipe is led from the top of the ballast plate 1 to the side where the ballast plate 1 and the base plate meet, which is convenient for the later sensor routing, and the diameter is 8mm. The non-contact displacement sensor is fixed on the ballast plate 1 through the mounting circular hole 4, and the non-contact displacement sensor cooperates with the inductive iron plate 5 to detect the displacement change.
[0022] The non-contact displacement sensor includes a laser base, a laser 12 and a vibration sensor 9. The laser base includes a C-shaped mounting plate 6 and a double-layer platform 8. The lower end of the mounting plate 6 is formed with a circular hole and an integrally formed hollow cylindrical isolation tube 7, and the isolation tube 7 is aligned with the circular hole.

[0023] When implementing: This embodiment is mainly used for real-time monitoring of static force, relative displacement and temperature during the operation of ballastless track. After all test units are installed, the system starts to run. During the monitoring process, if the vibration sensor 9 detects vibration of the ballastless track, it means that there may be vehicles or trains running on the track. At this time, the monitored data may have errors, so several test units need to stop testing at this time. If there are special circumstances that require testing under dynamic conditions, this function can also be turned off.
[0024] In this embodiment, a non-contact displacement sensor and a sensing iron plate 5 are provided. A mounting shell 10 and a universal ball 11 are provided on the non-contact displacement sensor. A laser 12 is provided at the lower part of the universal ball 11. Since the universal ball 11 can rotate in all directions in the mounting shell 10, it can maintain a vertical state for a long time under the action of gravity. After the laser base itself is deformed or the track bed plate 1 is deformed, the laser 12 can still maintain a vertical state, ensuring that there will be no error in the detection of the laser 12.
