[0034] The line scan camera module uses a linear array camera with a resolution of 2K or 4K and a near-infrared laser.
[0035] In specific implementation, each set of size measurement modules corresponds to a linear structured light vision sensor box, each set of crossarms 7 corresponds to two sets of linear structured light vision sensor boxes in the area between the two rails, and each set of crossbeams 13 is respectively provided with a set of linear structured light vision sensor boxes on the outer side corresponding to the rails 101, and the visual capture ends of the adjacent linear structured light vision sensor boxes corresponding to the corresponding vertical surfaces of the wheels are respectively arranged toward the corresponding vertical surfaces of the wheels and the rails 101, so as to reliably complete the wheel tread size measurement;

[0038] Here’s how it works:
[0039] When the train approaches, the remote start magnet group detects the wheel signal and determines the direction of the oncoming train. The signal is transmitted to the control host and industrial computer in the trackside machine room equipment. The control system prepares to receive the train, including opening the protective door of the trackside detection equipment, turning on the camera, projecting laser and other operations. When the train enters the trackside detection equipment area, the speed measuring magnet measures the train speed. On the one hand, it controls the line scan camera module to scan and take pictures at a specific frequency. On the other hand, it calculates the time it takes for each wheel to reach the center position of the equipment, and controls the line structured light camera to capture the wheel.
[0040] The images taken by the trackside detection equipment are transmitted to the server in the computer room for processing and calculation. The line scan camera images are synthesized and segmented according to the wheelbase. The laser light strip images of the line structured light are calculated. The wheel tread profile is calculated according to the line structured light stereoscopic vision detection principle, and the tread dimension information such as the wheel flange height, wheel flange thickness, and wheel rim thickness is output. The detection result image and dimension information are transmitted to the repeater platform software for display and alarm.
[0041] After adopting the structure of the present invention, the train body image scanning and wheel tread size measuring equipment are integrated together, and the use of a "1+2 mountain-shaped" system layout and a flattened line scan camera module makes the structure of the integrated system compact and the volume does not increase significantly; at the same time, the integrated system shares supporting functional modules such as vehicle reception, speed measurement, control signals, lightning protection, and repeater platform software, thereby reducing the overall equipment cost.
