Aerodynamic optimization design is adopted for blades, such as propeller or airfoil blades, to improve the ability to capture airflow and conversion efficiency. In terms of material, lightweight and high-strength composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced composites are chosen to reduce weight while ensuring the strength and durability of the blades, adapting to the complex airflow environment during high-speed travel of railway wagons. Blades are connected to the generator rotor through high-precision bearings to reduce rotational friction loss, converting wind energy into mechanical energy to drive the generator rotor to rotate and generate electricity.

Permanent magnet synchronous generator has high power generation efficiency and power density, suitable for application in wind power generation scenarios, capable of efficiently converting mechanical energy transmitted by the blades into electrical energy output.

[0101] Speed increasing gearbox: due to the relatively low rotation speed of the blades, the generator usually needs higher speed to achieve ideal power generation efficiency, so a speed increasing gearbox is configured in some designs. It can convert the low speed of the blades into the high speed required by the generator, improving energy conversion efficiency.

[0102] Energy transmission control equipment: including rectifier, controller, and cable;

For example, when the wind speed is too high, the controller can adjust the blade angle or limit the generator speed to protect the equipment safety; when the system power is sufficient, the power generation power can be reduced to reduce unnecessary energy loss.

[0105] Cable: used for connecting the components of the power generation module and transmitting electrical energy with the system power management module, it needs to have good electrical conductivity and wear resistance to adapt to the vibration and friction environment during the operation of the railway wagon.

[0108] Further, the shaft end power generation module includes:

[0109] Energy conversion device: including a micro generator and a transmission mechanism;

[0110] Micro generator: as the core component of the shaft end power generation module, a permanent magnet type micro generator is adopted, which has the characteristics of small size, high power density and relatively high power generation efficiency. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction principle when connected with the axle. For example, a permanent magnet generator with an outer rotor structure can directly drive the outer rotor to rotate when the axle rotates, causing the stator coil inside to cut the magnetic induction lines to generate current.

[0111] Transmission mechanism: since there may be differences between the rotation speed and torque of the axle and the optimal working parameters of the generator, the transmission mechanism is used to adjust the power transmission between them. Common transmission methods include gear transmission and belt transmission. Gear transmission is preferred because it has the advantages of accurate transmission ratio and high efficiency, and can accurately adjust the rotation speed of the generator according to actual needs;

[0112] The gear transmission mechanism of the transmission mechanism adopts a two-stage reduction gear box design, mainly composed of the following components:

[0113] Input shaft: made of 20CrMnTi carburizing steel, treated by carburizing and quenching, with surface hardness HRC58-62 and core hardness HRC30-45; one end is connected with the axle coupling through spline, and the other end is processed with involute cylindrical gear; hollow shaft design is adopted to reduce weight and improve torsional stiffness, high-precision cylindrical roller bearings are installed at the shaft neck;

[0114] Intermediate shaft: material 42CrMo alloy steel, quenching after heat treatment, surface hardness HRC48-52; both ends of the installation tapered roller bearings, the middle of the two gears; gear with input shaft gear meshing; pinion and output shaft gear meshing; using ladder shaft structure, through the shoulder positioning to ensure the axial position accuracy of gear, bearing with back-to-back installation to improve the anti-overturning ability

[0115] Output shaft: material 42CrMo alloy steel, one end of the gear with the intermediate shaft pinion meshing; output end with elastic coupling and generator rotor connected, to compensate for installation error and buffer vibration;

[0116] Gearbox housing: material for high-strength cast iron HT300, wall thickness 12mm; using split structure, the upper and lower housing through M12 high-strength bolt connection, combined surface with liquid sealant sealing; internal design of lubricating oil channel, through the splash lubrication to ensure the lubrication of each gear and bearing; the top of the housing is provided with a vent plug, the bottom is provided with a drain plug and oil level observation hole; the housing is designed with reinforcing ribs to improve the anti-vibration and rigidity. The overall protection level reaches IP67, suitable for harsh railway environment.

[0117] Sealing system: input / output shaft sealing: using double-lip skeleton oil seal, the main lip seal lubricating oil, the secondary lip dustproof; the housing joint surface sealing is liquid sealant (oil-resistant silicone rubber), which forms an elastic sealing layer after curing; bearing sealing: using labyrinth seal structure to prevent lubricating oil leakage and external dust intrusion.

[0118] Power management module: including rectifier filter circuit and voltage stabilizing module;

[0119] Rectifier filter circuit: the output of the micro generator is usually AC, and the current and voltage fluctuate greatly. The rectifier filter circuit can convert AC to DC and smooth the current and voltage, removing the noise, providing a stable DC power supply for subsequent devices. Generally, first convert AC to pulsed DC through a rectifier bridge, and then use capacitors, inductors and other components to form a filter circuit to further stabilize the voltage and current.

[0120] Voltage stabilizing module: to ensure that the output power meets the working requirements of other devices in the system, the voltage stabilizing module precisely adjusts the voltage after rectification and filtering. It can automatically adjust the output voltage according to the load change, ensuring that the output voltage remains stable under different working conditions, such as changes in axle speed.

[0121] Further, the power management module includes a monitoring and protection device, which includes a current and voltage sensor and a protection circuit.

[0122] Current-voltage sensor: Real-time monitoring of the output current and voltage of the power generation module, the collected data feedback to the control unit of the system. Through the analysis of these data, the working state of the power generation module can be determined, such as whether there are overload, short circuit and other abnormal conditions.

[0123] Protection circuit: When the current, voltage anomalies or other faults are monitored, the protection circuit automatically starts to protect the power generation module and other devices of the system. For example, when a short-circuit current is detected, the protection circuit can quickly cut off the circuit to prevent the device from being damaged due to excessive current; when the voltage is too high or too low, appropriate measures can also be taken to adjust or protect. The protection circuit includes overcurrent protection circuit, overvoltage protection circuit and undervoltage protection circuit; the overcurrent protection circuit includes self-recovery fuse circuit and circuit based on current sensor and comparator; the overvoltage protection circuit includes Zener diode limiting circuit and circuit based on voltage comparator and relay; the undervoltage protection circuit is a circuit based on voltage comparator and switch tube; this is prior art, in the application, only for borrowing, and will not be described here.

[0124] Further, the power management module stores, distributes and adjusts the electrical energy generated by the wind power generation module and the shaft end power generation module to ensure stable power supply of the system, including the following steps:

[0125] 1. Electrical energy input:

[0126] 1.1. Power generation module electrical energy access: The AC power (frequency varies with vehicle speed) output by the wind power generation module is connected to the power management module through the cable, first converted to DC (such as 50-60V DC) by the rectifier bridge, and then filtered by the LC filter circuit (inductor + capacitor) to output stable DC voltage.

[0127] 1.2. The pulsed DC power (voltage fluctuates with the speed of the vehicle shaft) output by the micro generator of the shaft end power generation module directly enters the power management module, and is adjusted by the Buck-Boost converter to stabilize the voltage within the range of 48-52V DC.

[0128] 2. Input electrical energy detection:

[0129] Voltage and current sampling: Two-way input voltage (U1, U2) and current (I1, I2) are collected in real time by high-precision ADC chip (such as ADS1115), with an accuracy of ±0.5% FS.

[0130] Effectiveness determination: If the input voltage <9V or >60V, it is determined to be abnormal, triggering the protection circuit to cut off the input; if the current >100A (exceeding the rated input of the module), the overcurrent protection (self-recovery fuse + MOS tube shutdown) is started.

[0131] 3. Energy storage management (charge control):

[0132] 3.1. Battery pack connection and state assessment:

[0133] Battery state acquisition: Real-time reading of battery parameters through BMS: including cell voltage (requirement of cell voltage difference ≤ 50mV), temperature (through NTC sensor, accuracy ±1℃), SOC (State of Charge, estimated by ampere-hour integration + Kalman filter) and SOH (State of Health, estimated by internal resistance monitoring). The battery state of charge is calculated according to the following formula:

[0134] SOC(t) = SOC0 + [(1 / C nom )∫ t 0(ηI batt dt)] + δ KF ;

[0135] δ KF = Kk(Z k -Hx^ k|k-1 );

[0136] In the formula, SOC(t) is the battery state of charge at time t, indicating the percentage of the current remaining capacity of the battery to its rated capacity. SOC0 is the initial state of charge of the battery, i.e. the SOC value at time t = 0. C nom is the rated capacity of the battery, usually in ampere-hours (Ah). This is the amount of charge that the battery can store or release under standard conditions. η is the charge and discharge efficiency, indicating the energy conversion efficiency of the battery during charging and discharging, usually taking a value range of 0.95-0.98. I batt is the battery current, in amperes (A). Positive for discharging, negative for charging (or according to the agreed direction); δ KF is the Kalman filter correction term, used to correct the SOC estimation deviation caused by sensor errors, battery aging, temperature changes and other factors. Kalman filter fuses battery model prediction value and actual observation value (such as voltage, current measurement value), dynamically adjusts SOC estimation, and improves the accuracy of estimation. Kk is the Kalman gain at time k. Kalman gain is a weight factor that determines the relative importance of observation values in correcting state estimation. The calculation of Kalman gain takes into account the uncertainty of the predicted state (through the predicted state covariance matrix) and the uncertainty of the observation noise (through the observation noise covariance matrix). Z kis the actual observation at time k. This is the actual data taken from a sensor or other measuring device and is used to compare with the predicted value to calculate the correction term. H is the observation matrix that maps the state space to the observation space. It describes how the observations are calculated from the system state. In some simple cases, if the observations directly correspond to the state, H can be the identity matrix or a matrix that is appropriately transformed. x^ k|k-1 is the predicted state estimate based on the system model at time k. It is predicted from the system model and the state estimate at the previous time step.

[0137] 3.2, Charging mode selection:

[0138] When the battery state is SOC < 20%, constant current charging is used, with a current of 50A, until the single cell voltage reaches 3.4V (lithium iron phosphate);

[0139] When 20% ≤ SOC < 80%, constant voltage charging is used, with a voltage of 48V, and the current gradually decreases to 10A as the SOC increases;

[0140] When SOC ≥ 80%, the floating maintenance mode is used, with a voltage of 47V, only compensating for the self-discharge loss of the battery (about 0.5A).

[0141] 4, Charging protection: including overcharge protection, overheat protection and balance control;

[0142] Overcharge protection: when any single cell voltage > 3.65V, immediately cut off the charging circuit, trigger sound and light alarm and report fault code through CAN bus.

[0143] Overheat protection: when the battery temperature ≥ 65℃, suspend charging and start cooling fan, resume charging when the temperature drops to 55℃.

[0144] Balance control: when the single cell voltage difference > 100mV, start active balancing circuit (switched capacitor balancing), transfer the energy of high voltage single cell to low voltage single cell to make the voltage difference ≤ 50mV.

[0145] 5, Electric energy distribution and output control

[0146] 5.1, Load priority scheduling:

[0147] Primary load (core device): Beidou positioning module, LoRa gateway, main controller: highest priority, always powered by battery pack or power generation module (preferentially use power generation module power).

[0148] Secondary load (auxiliary device): sensors, alarm devices, cooling fans: powered when the power generation module power is sufficient (remaining power > 50W), otherwise powered by the battery pack, but the battery SOC < 30% when cut off.

[0149] Level 3 load (non-essential devices): visual display screen, debugging interface: powered only in manual maintenance mode, default power off.

[0150] 5.2, Dynamic power distribution:

[0151] If the total input power is greater than the total load power: the power generation module prioritizes power supply for the load, and the remaining power is used for charging.

[0152] If the total input power is less than the total load power: the battery pack supplements the power supply until the battery SOC drops to 20%, triggering an under-voltage protection.

[0153] 5.3, Multi-voltage output control:

[0154] 48V DC output: directly powers high-voltage loads such as power generation module control circuit, motor drive,

[0155] Switch the power supply source through the relay (power generation module first).

[0156] 12V / 5V DC output: generated by an isolated DC-DC converter and an LDO stabilizer, using a "master-slave mode":

[0157] The master path is the power generation module → converter → load; the slave path is the battery pack → converter → load (automatically switched when the master path fails).

[0158] 6, System stability protection:

[0159] 6.1, Voltage fluctuation suppression: energy storage capacitor buffering is performed, with a 10mF electrolytic capacitor connected in parallel on the input side of the power supply to suppress voltage spikes (ΔU ≤ ±2V) when the power generation module starts and stops. Dynamic voltage regulation is performed, and when the load suddenly changes (such as LoRa gateway burst communication), the BMS controls the power generation module output current (current limiting mode), while adjusting the battery pack discharge current, to ensure that the output voltage stability is ≤ ±1%.

[0160] 7, Data recording: data is stored locally, with power generation power, battery status, load power consumption, etc. recorded every 10 minutes, stored in EEPROM (capacity ≥ 1MB), supporting more than 1 year of historical data traceability. Remote reporting is performed, with energy management reports sent to the railway operation and maintenance platform through APN network at regular intervals (such as every hour), including: daily power generation (kWh), battery charge and discharge times and depth, and fault statistics and early warning information.

[0161] Furthermore, the main control unit monitors parameters such as shaft temperature and rotational speed through status monitoring equipment, providing real-time feedback on the bearing's operating status; it monitors the truck's motion state (stationary / moving), tilt angle, and other attitude data; it detects working environment parameters and performs automatic dynamic / static judgment. When the truck is stationary, the system automatically switches to a low-power mode to reduce energy consumption; when the system detects that the truck has started or its motion state has changed, it immediately returns to normal operating mode. This includes the following steps:

[0162] 1. Real-time data acquisition: The attitude sensor acquires raw acceleration and angular velocity data at a fixed frequency (e.g., 10Hz). The shaft-end device and tachometer synchronously acquire rotational speed (0 when stationary).

[0163] 2. Motion state determination:

[0164] Conditions for determining a stationary state (must be met simultaneously): Absolute value of acceleration < 0.1 m / s² 2 (Considered as no obvious motion). Gyroscope angular velocity < 5° / s (considered as no significant change in attitude). Rotational speed = 0 (wheelset does not rotate). Duration ≥ T0 (e.g., 5 minutes, configurable as needed).

[0165] Motion determination condition: If any of the above conditions is not met, the state is determined to be "moving".

[0166] 3. Switching between working modes:

[0167] In stationary mode: Non-essential modules are disabled, such as the shaft end heating element (if ambient temperature > 0°C) and the high-frequency communication module. Switch to low-power mode; the sensor sampling frequency drops to 1Hz, and the microprocessor enters sleep mode (wake-up interval 10 seconds). Only basic monitoring is maintained, checking acceleration and rotational speed every 30 seconds to confirm whether the stationary state is maintained.

[0168] Motion Status: Activate full-function mode, the sensor resumes high-frequency sampling (10Hz), and the communication module transmits data in real time. Start real-time shaft temperature and attitude analysis: Compare with historical data to identify abnormal vibrations or temperature rises (e.g., shaft temperature sudden change > 5℃ / minute triggers an early warning).

[0169] 4. Dynamic adjustment of reporting cycle:

[0170] Normal driving mode (sporting state): Standard reporting cycle T1 = 60 seconds (configurable, reducing data traffic). Data includes axle temperature, engine speed, attitude angle, and average values ​​of ambient temperature and humidity.

[0171] Abnormal / Alarm Mode (Trigger Conditions): Trigger scenarios include axle temperature exceeding a threshold (e.g., 90℃), tilt angle > 15°, and sudden acceleration changes (emergency braking / collision). Reporting cycle T2 = 1 second (immediately reports raw data and warning level). Data content includes raw sensor waveforms and real-time positioning information (GPS module integration required).

[0172] Stationary status reporting: cycle T3 = 30 minutes (configurable), only environmental parameters and battery status are reported.

[0173] 5. System linkage and management platform response

[0174] Alarm data transmission path: Device → Cloud management platform → Management personnel's mobile APP / PC terminal.

[0175] Anomaly Handling Process: After receiving alarm data, the platform automatically triggers a triple response:

[0176] ① Real-time pop-up alerts (marking truck number, fault type, and location);

[0177] ② Send SMS / voice notification to the designated person in charge;

[0178] ③ Generate fault work orders and link them to the maintenance resource scheduling system.

[0179] 6. Evaluation and prediction are based on motion state data to analyze truck driving habits (such as idling time and frequency of rapid acceleration) and optimize energy consumption management.

[0180] A bearing life prediction model is established using shaft temperature and environmental data (e.g., machine learning algorithms are used to analyze temperature rise trends). The bearing life prediction model is as follows:

[0181] L 剩余 =w0+w1T - bear +w2ΔT bear ′(t)+w3T - env +w4t total +w5ΔT diff (t);

[0182] ΔT bear ′(t)=[T bear (t)-T bear [(t-Δt)] / Δt;

[0183] ΔT diff (t)=T bear (t)-T env (t); where L is the formula. 剩余`t` represents the remaining life of the bearing, the time remaining from the current moment until failure, as predicted by the model. `w0` is the model's bias or intercept. It's the model's output value when all input features are zero. `w1`, `w2`, `w3`, `w4`, and `w5` are the model's weight parameters, representing the degree of influence each feature has on the remaining life. A larger weight indicates a greater contribution of that feature to the prediction result. The weights are learned through training data. `T` is the final value of the bearing. - bear This is the average shaft temperature, the average temperature of the bearing over a period of time, reflecting the overall thermal load on the bearing. ΔT bear ′(t) is the rate of change of shaft temperature, the rate at which the bearing temperature changes with time, reflecting the change in thermal stress of the bearing. - env The average ambient temperature affects the bearing's heat dissipation conditions. total This is the cumulative operating time, the total operating time of the bearing from when it was put into use to the present moment, reflecting the cumulative fatigue of the bearing. ΔT diff (t) is the difference between the bearing temperature and the ambient temperature. The difference between the bearing temperature and the ambient temperature reflects the change in the bearing's thermal load relative to the environment.

[0184] Furthermore, the central processing unit processes location data and status information, controls communication between devices, and implements reporting strategies; including vehicle flow management, mileage management, freight management, revenue management, and efficiency management.

Through data analysis, peak and off-peak traffic periods are predicted, allowing for rational scheduling, optimized allocation of railway capacity resources, improved overall railway transportation efficiency, and reduced freight car backlog and waiting times.

[0186] Q(t+τ)=Σ M i=1 [w i Q(t-τ i )+e(t)];where, Q(t+τ) is the freight traffic flow on a certain route at time t+τ (unit: vehicles / time period). τ is the prediction time interval. M is the order of historical data selected by the model (i.e., considering the historical traffic flow of the first M time periods). w i τ is the weighting coefficient of the i-th order historical flow (determined through model training, reflecting the degree of influence of historical data on the future). i is the delay duration of the i-th order historical data. e(t) is a white noise term that follows a normal distribution (representing random fluctuations or errors not captured by the model).

[0187] Mileage management: Utilize the Beidou positioning system to accurately record the mileage of the truck, combined with time information, to accurately calculate the driving speed of the truck. Through statistical analysis of the mileage data, it provides the basis for transportation cost accounting, fuel consumption evaluation, etc., and also helps to evaluate the work performance of the driver.

[0188] Freight management: Interface with the railway freight system to realize the associated management of freight information and truck information. On the management platform, the detailed information of the goods loaded on each truck can be viewed, including the name, weight, destination, etc. of the goods. At the same time, the transportation status of the goods is tracked in real time, such as loading and unloading time, safety status of the goods during transportation, etc., to provide accurate freight transportation information query service for the consignor and improve the quality of freight service.

[0189] Profit management: According to the driving mileage, transportation goods volume, transportation time, etc. of the truck, the transportation profit is automatically calculated. Combined with the cost data (such as fuel consumption, equipment maintenance cost, etc.), a detailed profit report is generated to help the enterprise clearly understand the profit situation of the transportation business, provide data support for enterprise decision-making, optimize operation strategy, and improve economic efficiency.

[0190] Efficiency management: Through the analysis of various data in the transportation process of the truck, the transportation efficiency is evaluated, such as the calculation of the stop time at the intermediate station (the truck stays at the intermediate station), the loading and unloading efficiency, etc. The bottleneck link affecting the transportation efficiency is found out, and improvement measures are proposed, such as optimizing the loading and unloading process, reasonably arranging the transportation plan, etc., to continuously improve the overall efficiency of railway truck transportation.
