Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of anomaly detection, and particularly to a method for detecting and warning pantograph arc ignition anomalies by fusing ultraviolet light and infrared imaging. Background Art
[0002] In the rail transit power supply system, the contact state between the pantograph and the catenary directly affects the power continuity of train operation and the safety of equipment. Affected by factors such as complex operating environments, current fluctuations, and contact pressure changes, the pantograph is prone to arc discharge during operation, forming a high-temperature arc ignition area and accompanied by local thermal anomalies. Such arc ignition events not only accelerate the wear and ablation of the contact surface, but may also induce safety accidents such as power supply interruptions and catenary damage. Therefore, carrying out accurate detection and warning of arc ignition anomalies has become a key link in ensuring the reliability of the electrical system.
[0003] In the existing pantograph fault detection technologies, arc ignition detection mostly relies on a single ultraviolet or current signal, which is vulnerable to environmental interference and difficult to quantify the arc ignition intensity; although infrared imaging can monitor temperature, it is not deeply correlated with arc ignition characteristics, resulting in a high false alarm rate. In addition, the existing methods lack a dynamic analysis of the coupling relationship between arc ignition and temperature anomalies and cannot predict potential faults. The innovation of the present invention lies in: through the spatio-temporal synchronous acquisition of ultraviolet and infrared data, combined with arc ignition feature extraction and temperature field modeling, a dynamic threshold judgment model is constructed to achieve the fusion decision-making of multi-modal data, and solve the problems of inaccurate arc ignition detection and late warning in the existing technologies.
