Description

[0002] With the rapid development of high-speed railways in China, the automation of railway construction has received increasing attention. During the traditional laying construction of long rails for parallel lines, manual segmented operations are carried out using rail laying vehicles. Operators need to remotely control the hydraulic system manually through on-site feedback information such as cameras in the background, and the automation level is not high. In addition, on-site devices such as cameras are extremely vulnerable to the influence of the environment and weather. Coupled with the fact that manual remote operations often lack real state feedback, the operation errors are relatively large, and rework is likely to occur. And when the first line is laid, the rail laying equipment needs to return to the station for shunting operations through turnouts in order to carry out construction operations on the opposite railway. Therefore, the construction period is long, the manual cooperation is large, the cost is high, and the construction period is easily affected.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the operation process through relevant technical means to achieve full automation, thereby improving construction accuracy and efficiency, reducing rework, and accelerating railway construction. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0021] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following drawings are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.
[0022] An automatic track-laying system for parallel double-track railways includes: A main controller, a plurality of side-laying devices, a positioning module and a slewing drive unit. A slewing drive unit is installed on each side-laying device, and the slewing drive unit can drive the side-laying device to rotate 180 degrees. The side-laying device and the positioning module are installed on the track-laying vehicle; As Figure 1 shown, the side-laying device includes a horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8, a vertical hydraulic cylinder 9, an electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve I 6, an electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve II 7, a linear displacement sensor and an oil pressure sensor. The horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8 and the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9 are respectively connected to the fixed displacement oil pump 2 through independent electro-hydraulic proportional directional valves I 6 and II 7 to form an open hydraulic circuit. Independent linear displacement sensors and oil pressure sensors are equipped on both the horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8 and the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9; The main controller is configured to: Receive the global positioning signal of the positioning module and the installation position information of multiple pre-input side laying devices, and combine with the design parameters of the railway to be laid to generate target control instructions for multiple side laying devices; Perform closed-loop position servo control on the horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8 and the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9. After the control quantity is converted by digital-to-analog conversion, it is output to the electromagnetic proportional reversing valve I6 and the electromagnetic proportional reversing valve II7 to drive the horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8 and the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9 to reach the target stroke; In the double-track laying scenario, the main controller sends a pulse signal to the slewing drive unit to drive the side laying device to rotate 180 degrees.
[0023] As Figure 2 shown, the parallel double-track railway automatic track laying system requests actions from the horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8, the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9 and the slewing motor of the side laying device according to the needs by the main controller, and it receives the global positioning signal of the positioning module P to achieve the positioning of the vehicle itself in the absolute coordinate system. In addition, the operator needs to configure the information P i of the layout interval (and number) of the side laying devices (i.e., the installation position of the side laying devices) planned in advance and input it into the main controller. The main controller then combines the global positioning signal P and the expected planned design parameters of the railway to be laid, and fuses the three pieces of information, so as to obtain a set of target data i for each track laying device on the track laying vehicle respectively , that is, the target telescopic stroke of the horizontal hydraulic cylinder X i and the target telescopic stroke of the vertical hydraulic cylinder Y i ; at the same time, the main controller can send an action request to the slewing motor according to the need to lay tracks on both sides of the double track simultaneously in a single journey, so that each side laying device can be turned to the other side position.
[0024] The derivation process of the closed-loop position servo control process of the horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8 and the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9 is as follows: Specifically, according to the hydraulic transmission theory, the dynamic equations of the horizontal and vertical hydraulic cylinders in the side laying device both satisfy: Therefore, for the horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8 and the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9, they can be described by the following state equations: Among them, is the telescopic speed of the hydraulic cylinder, is the active side hydraulic oil acting area, that is, the acting area of the rod chamber / non-rod chamber of the oil cylinder (depending on the specific action of the oil cylinder), is the first derivative of the oil pressure on the active side of the oil cylinder, is the flow rate in the active side chamber of the hydraulic cylinder (i.e., for the horizontal and vertical hydraulic cylinders on the i-th side laying device, they are and ), is the elastic modulus of the hydraulic oil; for this system, its state variable is equal to the integral of the telescopic speed of the hydraulic cylinder in the time domain, that is, the telescopic stroke L of the hydraulic cylinder; is the volume of the active side chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, which can be calculated from the acting area and stroke of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0025] Considering the large static and dynamic loads generated on the side laying device during the railway track laying operation, in order to improve the system response speed and anti-disturbance performance, a sliding mode control algorithm is considered for the telescopic controller to achieve independent closed-loop pose servo control of the horizontal and vertical hydraulic cylinders on each side laying device.
[0026] For the above system, we expect its system state to approach the target quantity X i (or Y i ), so the sliding mode surface S is designed as (taking the horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8 in the horizontal control as an example): The sliding mode surface S can be understood as the error between the current state and the target state of the system, X i is the target telescopic stroke of the horizontal hydraulic cylinder 8; According to the classical control theory and Lyapunov criterion, when , it is considered that the system can converge effectively. For this reason, an equal-speed approaching rate (the target stroke X i is considered a constant) is adopted, and it can be set as: where sgn is the sign function, is the sliding mode gain coefficient, , so: The system control quantity, that is, the input flow rate Q of the active side of the hydraulic cylinder, can be obtained as: The actual stroke of the hydraulic cylinder and the active side oil pressure P (first derivative) as the system state feedback quantities can both be measured in real time by the linear displacement sensor and the oil pressure sensor; at the same time, according to the hydraulic transmission theory, the flow rate from the proportional reversing valve to the inside of the hydraulic cylinder satisfies the Bernoulli equation: wherein is the flow coefficient; B is the opening degree of the electromagnetic proportional directional valve; is the liquid density; is the pressure difference between the two sides of the inlet and outlet of the electromagnetic proportional directional valve, which can be calculated by the following formula: wherein is the output oil pressure of the hydraulic pump (the oil pump motor outputs in a constant pressure closed loop), P is the oil pressure of the oil cylinder, so the system control quantity can be further deduced to the opening degree B of the proportional directional valve: Furthermore, the opening degree B of the electromagnetic proportional directional valve is determined by the following formula: wherein is the maximum opening degree of the valve port; I is the spool control current, which is a vector, the positive and negative signs determine the movement direction of the spool, and the magnitude determines the movement stroke of the spool; Therefore, the system control quantity ultimately boils down to the spool control current of the electromagnetic proportional directional valve: where I is the spool control current, sgn is the sign function, is the sliding mode gain coefficient, >0, is the maximum opening degree of the valve port, K is the elastic modulus of the hydraulic oil, is the volume of the active side chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, is the first derivative of the oil pressure on the active side of the oil cylinder, is the acting area of the hydraulic oil on the active side.
[0027] Specifically, a telescopic controller is arranged in the side paving device to control the transverse hydraulic cylinder 8 and the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9 respectively. For the stroke L of the hydraulic cylinder and the oil pressure P on the active side in the oil cylinder, they are respectively measured in real time by a linear displacement sensor and an oil pressure sensor. Since the outputs of both sensors are analog signals, for the transverse hydraulic cylinder 8 and the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9 on the i-th side paving device, the measured transverse oil cylinder displacement , the transverse oil cylinder oil pressure , the vertical oil cylinder displacement , the vertical oil cylinder oil pressure The analog signals need to perform analog-to-digital conversion operations (ADC) before being input into the telescopic controller of the side paving device; and the telescopic controller of the side paving device outputs the spool control current / voltage of the electromagnetic proportional directional valve I6 and the electromagnetic proportional directional valve II7 as analog quantities, and needs to perform digital-to-analog conversion operations (DAC).
[0028] For the 12-bit precision DAC / ADC conversion module, the ADC calculation process is as follows: The DAC calculation process is as follows: Wherein, and are the input voltage and output voltage respectively, both of which are analog quantities; is the system reference voltage; and are the input digital quantity and output digital quantity respectively; Therefore, the lateral cylinder displacement , the lateral cylinder oil pressure , the vertical cylinder displacement , the vertical cylinder oil pressure The analog signals are converted into digital signals after being operated by the ADC , , and ; The control current of the spool of the proportional directional valve satisfies: Wherein, R is the internal resistance of the spool. Therefore, for the telescopic controller of the side-laying device, before the ADC operation, the digital control quantity it needs to output externally is: After the above process, each telescopic controller realizes the regulation of the in-cylinder flow by respectively controlling the spool actions of the electromagnetic proportional directional valve I6 and the electromagnetic proportional directional valve II7, and then respectively controls their strokes until the rail moves to the predetermined target position in two directions.
[0029] An overflow valve I3, an overflow valve II4 and an overflow valve III5 are respectively arranged on the oil inlet side and the oil return side of the open hydraulic circuit. The overflow valve I3 and the overflow valve II4 are used to limit the maximum working pressure of the system, and the overflow valve 5 on the oil return side is used to provide backpressure buffering. And the opening pressure values of the overflow valve I3, the overflow valve II4 and the overflow valve III5 are dynamically configured by the main controller to meet the hydraulic stability requirements under different load conditions.
[0030] The main controller realizes the coordinated control of multiple side-laying devices through the following logic: Calculate the estimated time for pushing the rail to the guide rail groove of the next side-laying device in real time according to the traveling speed of the rail-laying vehicle; Generate a trigger delay command for the lateral hydraulic cylinder 8 based on the estimated time to ensure that after the previous side-laying device is adjusted, the lateral hydraulic cylinder 8 of the next side-laying device starts in sequence to form a continuous closed-loop linkage control.
[0031] A control method based on an automatic track laying system for a parallel double-track railway, comprising: Planning stage: Divide the railway to be laid into several working sections according to the specific length of the rail material, and determine the number and layout interval of the side laying devices on the track laying vehicle to facilitate matching the rail geometry and bending and torsional stiffness. They are then installed in place at the corresponding positions and the relevant configuration information is input into the main controller.
[0032] Positioning link: The absolute coordinates of the track-laying vehicle are obtained through the positioning module. At the same time, according to the expected planning and design parameters of the railway to be laid, the positioning information of the track-laying vehicle relative to the railway to be laid can be obtained. Combined with the design parameters of the railway to be laid and the installation interval of the side-laying device, the target telescopic stroke of the transverse hydraulic cylinder 8 of each side-laying device is calculated.
[0033] In the positioning phase, the main controller generates the target telescopic stroke through the following steps: Construct the three-dimensional pose matrix of the track-laying vehicle in the absolute coordinate system based on the global positioning signal; Converting the track centerline equation in the design parameters of the railway to be laid into the absolute coordinate system; According to the installation interval of the side paving device and the track centerline equation, the lateral deviation between the guide rail groove of each side paving device and the theoretical track is solved to generate the corresponding target telescopic stroke.
[0034] Transverse control link: perform position closed-loop servo control on the transverse hydraulic cylinder 8 of each side-laying device in turn, adjust its geometric shape during the pushing process of the rails, and make it pass through the guide rail groove of the adjacent side-laying device. Specifically, when the rails are successfully inserted into the guide rail groove of the upper side-laying device, the transverse hydraulic cylinder is actuated to adjust the geometric shape of the rails and make it pass smoothly through the guide rail groove of the next side-laying device; the transverse hydraulic cylinders of each side-laying device are actuated in turn as the rails are continuously pushed, until the rails fit the geometric shape of the railway to be laid.
[0035] Vertical control link: Control the vertical hydraulic cylinder 9 of each side laying device to perform position closed-loop servo control. After the overall geometric shape of the long rail is adjusted into place, it is gently lowered until it falls into the rail bearing groove of the railway to be laid. At this point, the laying and placement of the rails in the working section on this side is completed, and you can enter the next working section or perform double-line operations on the other side.
[0036] In the scenario where track laying operations are required on both sides at the same time, when there is a need to turn, the slewing motor drives the side laying device to rotate 180 degrees to achieve one-way double-track track laying operations.
[0037] When the track-laying vehicle needs to perform double-track laying operations on both sides simultaneously during a one-way trip, the main controller can send a request signal to the rotary motors of each rotary drive unit to drive the side laying device of each rotary motor to make a 180-degree turn; the rotary motor adopts a stepper servo motor and is open-loop controlled by the main controller through the PWM pulse modulation method.
[0038] As Figure 3 shown, in order to make the side laying device rotate smoothly, a symmetric trapezoidal acceleration and deceleration method is adopted for operation. and It is necessary to calibrate according to the actual situation so that the side laying device can just complete a 180-degree turn at an appropriate speed. Its angular acceleration can be calculated by the following formula: Specifically, the rotary controller outputs a drive current according to the digital pulse signal sent by the main controller. For a subdivided stepper motor, in order to make it operate according to a predetermined curve, the counter value of the pulse signal sent by the controller to the stepper motor driver should conform to the following formula: In the formula, n represents the pulse period. is the value of the counter within the nth pulse period. is the value of the counter within the initial pulse period. is the step angle of the stepper motor. is the counting frequency of the controller. Both are inherent hardware parameters. represents the rotational angular velocity.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
