Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rail transit safety monitoring and intelligent diagnosis, and particularly to a geometric description method, system, device and medium for minute defects on the tread of high-speed trains. Background Art
[0002] High-speed trains are an important pillar of the modern transportation system, and their operation safety and reliability are of great significance for ensuring the safety of passengers' lives and improving transportation efficiency. As the core component in direct contact with the rail, the condition of the wheelset directly determines the running stability and safety of the train. Currently, the maintenance of high-speed train wheelsets mainly adopts a planned maintenance system, that is, the maintenance cycle is set according to the service mileage or service time, and there are five corresponding maintenance levels. This maintenance system aims to ensure the safe operation of the train through regular maintenance, but it shows certain limitations in actual applications. Specifically for the wheel tread, as the key area of wheel-rail contact, its condition monitoring is particularly important and is usually listed as a daily inspection item. After the high-speed train enters the depot, the staff evaluates the damage condition of the wheel tread by visual inspection. However, it is found in the follow-up tests that the treads of high-speed train wheels are often damaged due to minute defects such as indentations, especially the wheels of the leading car and the trailing car. Due to the complex forces, if these early minute defects are not detected and processed in time, they may gradually expand to the instability stage (such as tread peeling), thus threatening the service safety of the wheel-rail system.
[0003] The existing technologies have the following significant defects and deficiencies in the detection and treatment of minute defects on the treads of high-speed train wheels: 1. Limitations of visual inspection and risk of undetected defects: The current daily inspection of the wheel tread condition mainly relies on the visual inspection of the staff. This method is limited by visual blind spots, and minute defects are easily overlooked especially under conditions of insufficient light or complex environments. In addition, visual inspection cannot scientifically evaluate the morphological characteristics of the defects and their expansion trends, resulting in potential safety hazards not being detected in time and increasing the driving risk.
[0004] 2. Arbitrariness and low efficiency of temporary turning decision-making: When minute defects are found by visual inspection, whether to perform temporary turning and the depth and number of turnings often depend on the personal experience of the staff, lacking a scientific decision-making basis. Since the existing technologies cannot accurately grasp the depth and internal morphological characteristics of the defects, the temporary turning operation shows strong arbitrariness, not only with low efficiency, but also the turning quality is difficult to guarantee, further affecting the service performance of the wheels.

[0020] Embodiment 1 Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a flowchart of a geometric description method for minute defects on the tread of a high - speed train provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes five stages: the original defect data acquisition and modeling stage, the wheel - rail contact simulation and mechanical response analysis stage, the defect expansion characteristic generation and morphological feature set construction stage, the strain signal processing and recognition model construction stage, and the real - time recognition and geometric description application stage. The specific implementation process is as follows.
[0021] Stage 1: Original defect data acquisition and modeling. This stage can be divided into the following steps: Ⅰ. Collect the morphological feature data of minute defects on the tread of the wheels of a high - speed train, construct the original defect feature dataset, and group the defects in the original defect feature dataset by the aspect ratio.
[0022] During the service life cycle of the wheels of a high - speed train, the morphological feature data of minute defects on the tread of the wheels are collected by regularly using a variety of detection devices (such as a wheel profile detector, a wheel out - of - roundness detector, a metal surface minute defect detector, a laser ultrasonic damage detector, and a steel ruler, etc.). Let t represent the service time (unit: days), and m represent the service mileage (unit: kilometers). For each defect , the morphological features at time t are represented by the feature vector : ; The definitions of each component are as follows: : The depth of defect i at time t (unit: mm); : The area of defect i at time t (unit: mm2); : The width of defect i at time t (unit: mm); : The length of defect i at time t (unit: mm); : The curvature of defect i at time t (unit: mm -1 ), reflecting the degree of bending of the defect surface; : The edge gradient of defect i at time t (dimensionless), indicating the steepness of the edge.

Define the vector form as: coefficient vector: ; independent variable vector: . The prediction model is: , Use the least squares method to solve . The observation data set is , construct the matrix: ; Then the solution of the regression coefficients can be obtained as: .
[0029] III. Adopt piecewise polynomial fitting and cubic spline interpolation method to construct the geometric function of the micro-defects on the wheel tread.
[0030] To describe the geometric shape of the defect, use piecewise polynomial fitting and cubic spline interpolation method. Assume that the defect cross-sectional profile consists of S segments, and each segment is represented by a polynomial: where: s = 1, 2, …, S represents the total number of segments, represents the position of the s-th node; P is the polynomial order; is the p-th order coefficient of the s-th segment, represents the abscissa of the profile to the power, used to construct a polynomial function to describe the profile characteristics; To ensure smoothness, adjacent segments need to satisfy the continuity condition: ; In the edge transition region, use cubic spline interpolation. Assume the interpolation nodes are , and the cubic spline function satisfies: , where is the abscissa of the interpolation node, is the corresponding depth value, represents the number of interpolation nodes.

Create the geometric models of the wheel and the rail in ABAQUS, and the rail cross-section is based on the actual standard (UIC60). After defining the wheel-rail contact relationship, generate the initial finite element model and export the.inp file; according to the on-site tracking test data, define the initial defect of the wheel tread in the.inp file through the *IMPERFECTION keyword.

An adaptive mesh is adopted in the defect area, and the element size is controlled by the defect width of stage I: , where represents the minimum mesh size in the defect area, which is determined by of stage I, is the mesh scaling factor to ensure the accurate capture of the local stress field of the defect.
