[0042] The electric control drive device 6 is connected with a controller. The controller includes a signal acquisition module and a multi-sensor information fusion module. The signal acquisition module is connected to the input end of the multi-sensor information fusion module. The output end of the multi-sensor information fusion module is connected to the input end of a wheel pair radial motion pose calculation module. The output end of the wheel pair radial motion pose calculation module is connected to the input end of a joint coordinated control instruction generation module. The output end of the joint coordinated control instruction generation module is connected to the input end of a control instruction communication management module. The output end of the control instruction communication management module outputs an instruction to control the electric control drive device 6; the signal acquisition module includes a bolster rotation angle sensor 101, a binocular vision and distance sensor group 103, a geographical location and track information receiver 104, an anti-overload force measuring sensor 105, and a vehicle speed sensor 106; the bolster rotation angle sensor 101 is arranged on the sedan chair structure 1 below the air spring turntable plate 41 and is connected to the air spring turntable plate 41.

[0043] The lateral limit slider 26, the braking unit 30, the grounding brush 29, and the vehicle speed sensor 106 are all arranged in a centrally symmetric installation manner; this can ensure that the lateral limit slider 26 wears evenly during movement, extend its service life, help maintain the balance of the system, and reduce vibrations caused by eccentric forces; it can ensure that the braking force generated by the braking unit 30 is evenly distributed on both sides of the shaft, improving braking efficiency and stability; it can ensure more stable contact between the grounding brush 29 and the rotating component, reduce poor contact conditions, and the uniform contact pressure helps reduce the wear of the brush and the risk of local overheating; it helps the vehicle speed sensor 106 receive a stable signal, reduce signal errors caused by installation deviations, make the calibration of the vehicle speed sensor 106 simpler, and easily achieve accurate measurement results.

[0044] The actual application situation and fault response solutions of the control system mainly composed of the controller are as follows:

[0045] During the active control process, signals from the bolster rotation angle sensor 101, the binocular vision and distance sensor group 103, the geographical location and track information receiver 104, the anti-overload force sensor 105, and the vehicle speed sensor 106 are received through the controller and the upper computer. After the signals are fused, analyzed, processed, and decided by each module in the controller, commands are output to control the electric drive device 6 to achieve the active radial steering function.

[0046] During the active control process, if the binocular vision and distance sensor group 103, the geographical location and track information receiver 104, and the vehicle speed sensor 106 fail, signals from the bolster rotation angle sensor 101 and the anti-overload force sensor 105 can be received through the controller and the upper computer. After the signals are fused, analyzed, processed, and decided by each module in the controller, commands are output to control the electric drive device 6 to achieve the assisted radial steering function.

[0047] When the controller cannot receive the signals of all sensors or the signal acquisition module fails, the servo electric cylinder 62 stops working, and the tail hinge seat locking mechanism 63 automatically releases the restraint and enters the free sliding state, and pure mechanical drive is performed through the drive center bolster device 4 and the proportional lever device 5 to achieve the forced radial steering function of the track.

[0048] In the specific implementation process, to enable the train to turn within a reasonable angle range, the lateral limit slider 26 is arranged on the base slide plate 25. By determining the position of the lateral limit slider 26, the swing angle range of the wheel set is determined. One end of the wheel set force transmission connecting rod 31 is connected to each wheel set 21 through the axle box steering arm 33, and the other end is connected to the steering drive rocker arm 32. Both ends of the diagonal drive connecting rod 34 are respectively connected to the front and rear drive rocker arms 32. Among them, the diagonal drive connecting rod 34 is sleeved and installed on the central rotating column 42 of the air spring turntable plate 41. One end of the steering proportional lever main body 51 is fixed on the car body structure 1, and the other end is connected to the electric cylinder piston rod 61. The long connecting rod 52 is respectively connected to the steering proportional lever main body 51 and the drive rocker arm 32, and the short connecting rod 53 is respectively connected to the proportional lever main body 51 and the air spring turntable plate 41. When the train is going straight, the input rotation angle of the center bolster device 4 is zero, so the wheel set rotation angle is zero. At this time, the lateral limit slider 26 is located at the center of the slide rail. Then, the center bolster device 4 receives the input rotation angle of the electric control drive device 6, and transmits the rotation angle to the wheel set 21 through the proportional lever device 5, the steering drive rocker arm 32 and the axle box steering arm 33, realizing the function of the wheel set turning around its center; when the train turns left, the front wheel set device 2 receives the input rotation angle from the center bolster device 4 and rotates counterclockwise around its center, and the rear wheel set device 2 rotates clockwise around its center. At this time, the lateral limit slide rail gradually approaches the right side of the slider. When the train turns right, the front wheel set device 2 receives the input rotation angle from the center bolster device 4 and rotates clockwise around its center, and the rear wheel set device 2 rotates counterclockwise around its center. At this time, the lateral limit slider 26 gradually approaches the left side of the slide rail.

[0049] Working principle

[0050] The kinematic principle of the multi-link mechanism is adopted. Through the structure and movement mode of the connecting rod, the input rotational motion is converted into the output specific trajectory motion. When the train enters the turning track, the center bolster device rotates along the bolster track around the rotation center, and an angle is formed between the car body and the frame. Taking this angle as the input, it drives the multi-link mechanism to move, and converts the rotational motion input by the center bolster device into the swing of the wheel set around the wheel set center in the horizontal plane in equal proportion, so as to complete the radial functional action of the wheel set according to the specified steering parameters and steering speed ratio.

[0051] Therefore, the present invention adopts a radial bogie with the above structure to actively control the swing of the wheel set around its center. In order to enable the train to realize the radial steering function, the kinematic principle of the multi-link mechanism is adopted, which can make the steering of the rail train have better stability and safety.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions of the present invention or make equivalent replacements, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
