[0048] A railway rail intelligent maintenance system, comprising a data acquisition module, a data analysis module, a maintenance control module and a power master control module;

[0049] The data acquisition module includes a CCD camera 14 fixedly mounted on the top rear side of each first support plate 301, the CCD camera 14 includes a lens housing 1401 facing the ground, an image sensor 1402 is arranged inside the lens housing 1401, the image sensor 1402 is signal-connected to an image signal processor 1403, the image signal processor 1403 is electrically connected to an analog-to-digital converter 1404 through a signal processing circuit, the analog-to-digital converter 1404 is electrically connected to a digital signal processor 1405, the data acquisition module also includes a data storage unit and an imaging unit, the digital signal processor 1405 encodes and compresses the image signal for uploading to the data storage unit, the imaging unit is signal-connected to the data storage unit for decoding and decompression of the acquired image data;

The data analysis module also includes a model training unit, the model training unit constructs a convolutional neural network model including an input layer, a convolution layer, a pooling layer, a fully connected layer and an output layer, the input layer inputs the preprocessed rail image, the output obtains a defect judgment category, and the defect identification is performed on the modeled rail point cloud model.

[0051] Specifically, the data acquisition module is composed of a CCD camera 14, a data storage unit and an imaging unit. The rail image is collected through the optical lens structure of the CCD camera 14 and the image sensor 1402. The image sensor 1402 is a CCD sensor component structure. The image signal processor 1403 converts the detected light signal into an electrical signal. The image signal processor 1403 transmits the photoelectric signal to the analog-to-digital converter 1404.

[0052] The analog-to-digital converter 1404 converts the photoelectric signal into a digital signal. The formed digital signal consists of a series of pixels and contains specific information of the image. Then the digital signal processor 1405 encodes and compresses the converted digital signal through JPEG technology, thereby reducing the amount of data and improving the transmission efficiency. The image data formed after the digital signal is encoded and compressed can be stored in the data storage unit;

[0053] The display module of the imaging unit retrieves the coded compressed image data, decodes and restores the data, and obtains an observable rail image.

[0054] The image preprocessing unit connects the imaging unit through data, retrieves the rail image, performs image enhancement and filtering denoising operations on the acquired image, and can even out the image grayscale by suppressing or enhancing the image pixels, and then eliminates the image noise points through the median filtering algorithm. After the preprocessing is completed, the 3D point cloud contour data of the rail cross section in the image is extracted, and the rail structure is modeled according to the acquired 3D point cloud contour data, and the point cloud model of the rail image is drawn. Then, a convolutional neural network model is constructed, and the rail image is input into the model for defect category judgment, so as to identify the defects of the point cloud model of the rail image, so as to facilitate the detection and identification of damaged parts such as dirt, concave-convex deformation, cracks and wear of the rail structure in the rail image.

[0055] Furthermore, the maintenance control module includes a cylinder seat 15 fixedly installed on the top of each first support plate 301, the cylinder seat 15 is movably connected with a piston push rod on the side facing the adjustment plate 305, and the piston push rod is fixedly connected with a pressure sensor 16 on the side facing the adjustment plate 305. The pressure sensors 16 are fixedly connected to the outside of the adjustment plate 305 through a pressure sensitive sheet. The cylinder seat 15 is externally connected to the PLC control subsystem through a pneumatic solenoid valve, and a piezoelectric detection element is arranged inside the pressure sensor 16 to convert the detected pressure signal into an electrical signal and transmit it to the PLC control subsystem.

[0056] Specifically, the cylinder seat 15 is connected to the piston push rod, and the piston push rod is connected to the outside of the adjustment plate 305 through the pressure sensitive sheet of the pressure sensor 16. When the cylinder seat 15 drives the piston push rod, the pressure sensor 16 drives the adjustment plate 305 to swing at an angle, and the spring 306 is extended and retracted to drive the connecting rod 303 to rotate. The rotating connecting rod 303 can adjust the degree of fit between the scraper 304 and the outer side of the track 10, so as to scrape off the impurities adhering to the rail.

[0057] At this time, for the dirty part of the rail on the image, the pressure sensor 16 detects the loading force of the cylinder seat 15, and transmits the loading force data to the PLC control subsystem, so that the PLC control subsystem controls the pneumatic solenoid valve to adjust the air intake of the cylinder seat 15, thereby changing the output thrust of the cylinder seat 15, so as to change the angle of the adjustment plate 305, so that the scraper 304 fits the outer side of the track 10 for cleaning;

[0058] At the same time, the PLC control subsystem controls the water pump 1102 and the negative pressure fan 1302 through the control circuit to facilitate the cleaning of the rails.

[0060] Specifically, at this time, for the dirty part of the rail in the image, the single-chip computer module of the PLC control subsystem transmits instructions to the motor controller 17, and the motor controller 17 outputs a pulse signal to the rotary encoder 18, and the rotary encoder 18 controls the output speed of the servo motor 403, and drives the cleaning brush 404 to rotate at a high speed by using the coupling to clean the dust on the track 10;

[0061] The ECU control unit is a vehicle control module that can control the wheel hub motor 19 to perform acceleration, deceleration, and switch start and stop operations. The wheel hub motor 19 is a self-driving technology that combines a drive motor and a wheel.

[0062] In summary, the rail cleaning device and intelligent maintenance system based on magnetic adsorption collects and uploads rail image data for processing through the image sensor 1402, image signal processor 1403 and digital signal processor 1405 of the CCD camera 14, and constructs a rail point cloud model and a convolutional neural network model after preprocessing the image data by enhancement and filtering denoising. The defect category is quickly determined by training the convolutional neural network model, and the defect is marked on the point cloud model to quickly locate the defective part of the rail. By determining the defect category of the rail, when abnormal conditions such as deformation or cracks are found in the rail, the location is quickly marked for subsequent maintenance and replacement; when dirty parts are found in the rail, the dust is first sucked into the dust removal box 1301 through the vacuum pipe 1303 by the negative pressure fan 1302, and then filtered out using the filter. The plate 1304 filters and collects, and then controls the air intake of the cylinder seat 15, adjusts the loading force of the piston push rod and the pressure sensor 16 on the adjusting plate 305, and drives the scraper 304 to swing through the connecting rod 303 under the expansion and contraction of the spring 306, so that the scraper 304 fits tightly against the outside of the track 10 to clean the dirty parts, and at the same time cooperates with the magnetic attraction strip 7 of the U-shaped plate 6 to absorb metal waste and separate dust, and then for stubborn stains that are difficult to clean, control and increase the output speed of the servo motor 403, use the cleaning brush 404 to fit the outside of the track 10 and rotate to scrape and clean the dirt and dust, cooperate with the water pump 1102 to pump the water in the water tank 1101 into the water spray pipe 1103, and use the nozzle at the bottom of the water spray pipe 1103 to spray and rinse the track 10, so as to adjust the corresponding cleaning intensity and cleaning method according to different parts of the rail.
