Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of high-speed rail operation and maintenance technology, and in particular to a method and system for preventing high-speed rail contact network components from falling off based on 4C detection. Background Art
[0002] High-speed rail catenary systems are a core component of the power supply system. Their safe and stable operation is directly linked to the reliability and safety of railway operations. The catenary system consists of numerous anti-loosening components, including bolt-nut assemblies, locking washers, and cotter pins. These components are subject to significant vibration, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress during high-speed operation, making them prone to loosening or even falling off. Component detachment not only disrupts the normal operation of the power supply system but, in severe cases, can lead to catenary disconnection, equipment damage, and even major safety incidents.
[0003] Existing technologies for monitoring anti-loosening components in high-speed rail contact networks primarily utilize traditional image recognition technology combined with a simple threshold method for status detection, achieving basic component presence determination and obvious anomaly identification. However, this method employs a static judgment model based on a single time point and lacks the ability to dynamically monitor the loosening process of anti-loosening components and analyze spatiotemporal characteristics. It is unable to capture the temporal evolution of component loosening states and their spatial correlation characteristics. Consequently, it can only identify significant loosening that has already occurred, but cannot predict potential detachment risks. This results in low early warning and high hazard levels in monitoring anti-loosening components in high-speed rail contact networks, and results in a significant lag in early warning times.

The normalization is used to eliminate the magnitude differences in the data caused by environmental factors, and the abnormal information marking is used to provide reliable data support for constructing a spatiotemporal feature matrix and risk assessment.
[0025] Specifically, this embodiment achieves high-quality data acquisition and processing capabilities in a complex high-speed rail contact network environment by adopting a four-step multi-stage image preprocessing process and dual-channel data normalization processing.
[0026] The image acquisition strategy for different angles and lighting conditions effectively solves the problems of strong light reflection, limited angles and changing environments in high-speed rail contact network inspection, improves image resolution and the edge clarity of small components such as cotter pins; at the same time, through the normalization processing of historical status data and the abnormality marking mechanism, it eliminates data deviations caused by different environments, equipment and time, and establishes a standardized data set with consistent data level and balanced information density, which improves model training efficiency, reduces sensitivity to environmental changes, and ensures the stability of detection capabilities under various severe weather and lighting conditions.
[0027] The method of identifying the original image data through the target detection network model and obtaining the key component data of the high-speed rail contact network components includes: An object detection network model was constructed based on the YOLOv5 network. The candidate regions were generated through the object detection network model. An adaptive feature pyramid was used to extract multi-scale features to obtain the coarse-grained positions of the bolt-nut combination, the lock washer, and the cotter pin.
[0028] In a specific embodiment, the feature map weight calculation formula of the adaptive feature pyramid is: ; in, For the The fusion weight of the layer feature map, is the channel attention module, For the Layer feature map, is the first learnable parameter, is the number of feature layers.
[0029] A dynamic confidence threshold is used to screen the candidate regions, and the overlapping candidate regions are fused and optimized in combination with the target size distribution characteristics to output the precise bounding box of the key components.
[0030] In a specific embodiment, the dynamic confidence threshold is calculated as follows: ; in, For key components The confidence threshold of the class, The key component in the training set The mean target size of the class, The key component in the training set Standard deviation of target size for the class, is the first empirical coefficient, is the second empirical coefficient, is the first anti-zero constant.
[0031] In a specific embodiment, the loss function calculation formula of the target detection network model is: In a specific embodiment, the loss function calculation formula of the target detection network model is: ; ; ; ; in, is the loss function of the target detection network model, is the Focal loss function, is the CIoU loss function, is the angle loss function, 、 、 They are the balance coefficients of Focal loss function, CIoU loss function, and angle loss function, respectively.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the target detection network model adopts an improved YOLOv5 network architecture and is optimized in three aspects to meet the component detection requirements in the complex environment of the high-speed rail contact network.
[0033] First, an adaptive feature pyramid structure is introduced to assign optimal weights to feature maps at different levels. In experimental verification, when detecting small cotter pins, the weight of shallow feature maps automatically increases to 0.65, while the weight of deep feature maps decreases to 0.20, effectively enhancing the detection capability of objects with side lengths less than 30 pixels. Second, a dynamic confidence threshold mechanism is designed to adaptively adjust the threshold based on the target size distribution. For bolt-nut combinations (average size 120 pixels) in a high-speed rail catenary environment, the confidence threshold is set to 0.42, while for cotter pins (average size 25 pixels), the confidence threshold is lowered to 0.32, reducing the missed detection rate of small objects. Third, a composite loss function is constructed that includes focal loss, CIoU loss, and angle loss. In particular, the introduction of angle loss enables the model to accurately capture the pose of components in a rotated state, reducing the angle prediction error from the original ±12° to ±3.5° during model training.
[0034] Specifically, this embodiment achieves high-precision identification of key anti-loosening components of high-speed rail contact networks in complex environments through the improved target detection network model, effectively overcoming the three major difficulties of traditional target detection in high-speed rail scenarios: first, it solves the detection problem of small-sized components such as cotter pins (with a diameter of only 2-3 mm), and the detection rate is increased from 68.3% of the baseline model to 94.7%; second, it significantly improves the detection balance of components of different sizes, and the difference in F1-score for large, medium and small targets is reduced from the original 0.18 to 0.05; finally, through the angle perception mechanism, the model can maintain stable detection performance under a wide range of viewing angles of 30°-150°, providing accurate target positioning and segmentation for fine-grained anti-loosening status analysis, reducing the computational redundancy in the feature extraction stage, and improving the overall inference speed, while improving the adaptability and stability in actual high-speed rail line inspections.
[0035] The feature extraction of the key component data by the fine-grained detection network model to obtain the key component feature data includes: The fine-grained detection network model includes a multi-branch feature extraction network and a multi-scale key point regression network; Fine-grained feature extraction is performed on the key components through a multi-branch feature extraction network, where the multi-branch feature extraction network includes a morphological feature branch, a geometric relationship feature branch, and a texture feature branch.
[0036] In a specific embodiment, the multi-branch feature extraction network adopts an adaptive feature enhancement function to dynamically adjust the feature weight coefficient of each branch according to the characteristics of different key components, specifically: For the anti-loosening marking line, the weight of the texture feature branch is enhanced; For stop washers, increase the weight of the geometric relationship feature branch; For cotter pins, the weight of the morphological feature branch is enhanced; At the same time, multi-scale response fusion is performed on each feature map to eliminate the feature imbalance problem caused by size differences.
[0037] In a specific embodiment, the calculation formula of the adaptive feature enhancement function is: In a specific embodiment, the target detection network model adopts an improved YOLOv5 network architecture and is optimized in three aspects to meet the component detection requirements in the complex environment of the high-speed rail contact network.
[0038] First, an adaptive feature pyramid structure is introduced to assign optimal weights to feature maps at different levels. In experimental verification, when detecting small cotter pins, the weight of shallow feature maps automatically increases to 0.65, while the weight of deep feature maps decreases to 0.20, effectively enhancing the detection capability of objects with side lengths less than 30 pixels. Second, a dynamic confidence threshold mechanism is designed to adaptively adjust the threshold based on the target size distribution. For bolt-nut combinations (average size 120 pixels) in a high-speed rail catenary environment, the confidence threshold is set to 0.42, while for cotter pins (average size 25 pixels), the confidence threshold is lowered to 0.32, reducing the missed detection rate of small objects. Third, a composite loss function is constructed that includes focal loss, CIoU loss, and angle loss. In particular, the introduction of angle loss enables the model to accurately capture the pose of components in a rotated state, reducing the angle prediction error from the original ±12° to ±3.5° during model training.
[0039] Specifically, this embodiment achieves high-precision identification of key anti-loosening components of high-speed rail contact networks in complex environments through the improved target detection network model, effectively overcoming the three major difficulties of traditional target detection in high-speed rail scenarios: first, it solves the detection problem of small-sized components such as cotter pins (with a diameter of only 2-3 mm), and the detection rate is increased from 68.3% of the baseline model to 94.7%; second, it significantly improves the detection balance of components of different sizes, and the difference in F1-score for large, medium and small targets is reduced from the original 0.18 to 0.05; finally, through the angle perception mechanism, the model can maintain stable detection performance under a wide range of viewing angles of 30°-150°, providing accurate target positioning and segmentation for fine-grained anti-loosening status analysis, reducing the computational redundancy in the feature extraction stage, and improving the overall inference speed, while improving the adaptability and stability in actual high-speed rail line inspections.
[0040] The feature extraction of the key component data by the fine-grained detection network model to obtain the key component feature data includes: The fine-grained detection network model includes a multi-branch feature extraction network and a multi-scale key point regression network; Fine-grained feature extraction is performed on the key components through a multi-branch feature extraction network, where the multi-branch feature extraction network includes a morphological feature branch, a geometric relationship feature branch, and a texture feature branch.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, the multi-branch feature extraction network adopts an adaptive feature enhancement function to dynamically adjust the feature weight coefficient of each branch according to the characteristics of different key components, specifically: For the anti-loosening marking line, the weight of the texture feature branch is enhanced; For stop washers, increase the weight of the geometric relationship feature branch; For cotter pins, the weight of the morphological feature branch is enhanced; At the same time, multi-scale response fusion is performed on each feature map to eliminate the feature imbalance problem caused by size differences.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, the calculation formula of the adaptive feature enhancement function is: ; in, For the Enhanced features of key components of the class, For the Basic features of key components of the class, For the Heat map response of key components of the class, For the The heat map mean of key components of the class, For the Standard deviation of the heat map of key components of the class, For the The enhancement factor of key components of the class, is the hyperbolic tangent activation function.
[0043] The characteristic points of the key components are accurately located based on a multi-scale key point regression network. The characteristic points of the key components include the endpoints of the anti-loosening mark line, the intersection of the long and short ends of the stop gasket, and the root and bending points of the cotter pin.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, the multi-scale key point regression network adopts a collaborative regression mechanism to constrain the key feature points as a geometric structure as a whole, and improves the geometric consistency of feature point positioning by introducing a geometric relationship loss function between points. The specific methods include: for anti-loosening marking lines, the endpoint positioning accuracy is enhanced through linearity constraints; for stop washers, the accuracy of the long and short end intersection points is improved through plane orthogonal constraints; for cotter pins, the geometric rationality of the bending points is ensured through angle constraints.
[0045] In one specific embodiment, the fine-grained detection network model adopts a dual-core architecture consisting of a multi-branch feature extraction network based on an improved ResNeXt-50 and a multi-scale keypoint regression network. First, the multi-branch feature extraction network achieves accurate feature extraction of different types of anti-loosening components through three dedicated feature channels: the morphological feature branch uses a deformable convolutional network, which is particularly suitable for extracting the curvature features of cotter pins. In experiments, the offset field of the deformable convolutional network can adaptively adjust to the curvature variation of the cotter pin edge, effectively improving edge accuracy; the geometric relationship feature branch is constructed based on a graph convolutional network. By establishing the geometric relationship constraints of the stop gasket plane, the gasket edge feature points are processed as a graph structure, accurately capturing the relative position relationship of the long and short ends of the gasket, and reducing the spatial pose estimation error to 2.8°; the texture feature branch uses a depthwise separable convolution to enhance the subtle texture changes of the anti-loosening marking line, extracting a marking line offset of only 0.15mm under low contrast.
[0046] Secondly, in this embodiment, an adaptive feature enhancement function dynamically assigns weights based on the characteristics of different components. Through a heatmap response mechanism, the weight of the texture branch is automatically increased to 0.58 when detecting anti-loosening marking lines, the weight of the geometry branch is increased to 0.62 when detecting stop washers, and the weight of the morphology branch is increased to 0.65 when detecting cotter pins. This embodiment's dynamic weight adjustment strategy improves feature expression by 18.7% compared to fixed weights, maintaining high feature extraction quality, especially under partial occlusion conditions.
[0047] By incorporating a collaborative regression mechanism and geometric constraint loss, the multi-scale keypoint regression network applies a linearity constraint of 0.35 to the anti-loosening marking line, ensuring endpoint positioning accuracy remains at 0.18mm even under vibration conditions at 350 km / h. A plane orthogonality constraint is introduced for the stop washer to ensure the angular measurement error between the washer and the clamp is within ±2.5°. A curvature-based angle constraint is applied to the cotter pin, establishing a loosening warning criterion by calculating the angle between the pin's base and the bending points at both ends. In actual line testing, the model maintained a 98.3% keypoint detection rate and submillimeter positioning accuracy across a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C, as well as in adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, and snow.
[0048] Specifically, the fine-grained detection network model of this embodiment achieves high-precision feature extraction and key point positioning of key anti-loosening components of high-speed rail contact networks. The multi-branch feature extraction strategy accurately captures the key physical features of different anti-loosening devices, enabling the model to simultaneously process components of varying shapes, increasing the accuracy from 87.2% of the standard convolutional network to 96.8%. The adaptive feature enhancement function reduces feature instability under different lighting and angle conditions, improving feature quality in shadowed areas by 42% and feature detection capabilities in overexposed edge areas by 37%. The geometric constraint mechanism of the multi-scale key point regression network ensures the physical rationality of key point positions, solving the key point drift problem in traditional methods and increasing the average accuracy of overall anti-loosening device identification from 76.5% of the baseline model to 94.2%.
[0049] The step of judging the anti-loosening state of the key component based on the key component characteristic data to obtain the anti-loosening detection data of the key component includes: Based on the characteristic data of different key components, the corresponding anti-loosening state parameters are calculated. The anti-loosening state parameters include the linear offset of the anti-loosening marking line, the spatial angle between the stop gasket and the wire clamp body, and the angle value of the two curved edges of the cotter pin.
[0050] In a specific embodiment, for the anti-loosening marking line, the straight line segments are extracted by Hough transform, and the angle deviation and endpoint offset between adjacent marking lines are calculated to characterize the looseness of the bolt-nut combination; for the stop washer, the spatial position of the stop washer is reconstructed using a three-dimensional posture estimation algorithm, and the fitting angle between its long end and the side end face of the wire clamp body and the fitting angle between the short end and the nut in six aspects are calculated; for the cotter pin, the skeleton lines of the two curved edges are extracted, the angle between the two edges is calculated, and compared with the standard installation angle to analyze its deformation degree.
[0051] Based on the preset standard values of the anti-loosening state parameters, the calculated anti-loosening state parameters are judged by threshold value, the anti-loosening state level of each key component is determined, and standardized anti-loosening detection data is generated.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, based on the mechanical properties of the anti-loosening component and historical fault data, a three-level anti-loosening state judgment standard is established, wherein: normal state: the anti-loosening mark line offset is less than 0.3mm, the stop gasket position deviation angle is less than 5°, and the cotter pin bending angle is between 120° and 130°; slightly loose state: the anti-loosening mark line offset is between 0.3mm and 0.5mm, the stop gasket position deviation angle is between 5° and 10°, and the cotter pin bending angle deviates from the standard range by no more than ±3°; seriously loose state: the anti-loosening mark line offset is ≥0.5mm, the stop gasket position deviation angle is ≥10°, and the cotter pin bending angle deviates from the standard range by more than ±5°; at the same time, the stress state, installation position and environmental factors of the component are comprehensively considered to correct the judgment result, so as to improve the adaptability and reliability of the anti-loosening state judgment.
[0053] Specifically, this embodiment establishes an accurate anti-loosening state calculation and graded judgment mechanism based on physical characteristics for key components of the high-speed rail contact network, thereby achieving millimeter-level precision in loosening state quantification and early risk identification capabilities.
[0054] For the anti-loosening marking line, the Hough transform is used to extract the straight line segment and calculate the offset, which improves the accuracy of bolt-nut loosening detection; the three-dimensional posture estimation algorithm is used to reconstruct the spatial position of the stop gasket and calculate the fitting angle, which solves the problem that the traditional method cannot accurately judge the spatial posture change of the gasket in the complex environment of high-speed rail, and the measurement accuracy of the position deviation angle is improved; the skeleton line extraction and angle calculation method are used for the cotter pin to improve the sensitivity of deformation detection.
[0055] At the same time, the three-level anti-loosening status judgment standard (normal state, slightly loose state and severely loose state) established based on the mechanical properties of anti-loosening components and historical failure data, combined with the comprehensive correction mechanism of component stress state, installation position and environmental factors, has greatly improved the reliability of anti-loosening status judgment, allowing it to maintain an accuracy rate of 96.3% even in the complex high-speed rail operating environment.
[0056] The method of constructing a spatiotemporal feature matrix based on the anti-loosening detection data and the historical status data and calculating the shedding risk coefficient of the key components through the risk assessment model includes: A spatiotemporal feature matrix is constructed, and the anti-loosening detection data and historical status data are aligned in the time dimension and space dimension to obtain a multidimensional feature matrix that reflects the temporal changes and spatial distribution of the loosening status of key components.
[0057] In a specific embodiment, the spatiotemporal feature matrix is composed of the following static features, time series features, and spatial correlation features, wherein: Static features include component type, installation location, load characteristics, and line grade. Time series features include the historical trend, rate of change, periodic fluctuations, and abnormal mutation points of component anti-loosening parameters. Spatially correlated features include the correlation of loosening states between adjacent components, the loosening associations between different components within the same assembly, and regional environmental influencing factors. By aligning and standardizing features in both time and space, inconsistent inspection frequencies and environmental interference are eliminated, enhancing the consistency and representativeness of the feature matrix.
[0058] Through the deep integration of risk assessment model, the spatiotemporal feature matrix is identified, and the component type, operating environment, stress condition and historical change trend are comprehensively considered to obtain the shedding risk coefficient of each key component.
[0059] The deep integrated risk assessment model adopts a three-layer architecture, where: The first layer establishes a component looseness foundation risk assessment model based on the gradient boosting decision tree to generate an initial risk coefficient; The second layer combines the long short-term memory network to capture the trend characteristics of the time series and perform time dimension correction on the initial risk coefficient; The third layer uses a graph convolutional network to model the spatial topological relationship between components, comprehensively analyzes the impact of the loose state of adjacent components on the target component, and performs spatial dimension risk correction on the initial risk coefficient; In a specific embodiment, the initial risk coefficient is mapped to the interval [0, 1] through normalization processing, and is divided into three levels according to the risk level: low risk (0-0.3), medium risk (0.3-0.7) and high risk (0.7-1.0).
[0060] Specifically, this embodiment achieves high-precision prediction capability for the risk of falling off of high-speed rail contact network anti-loosening components by constructing a three-dimensional spatiotemporal feature matrix containing static features, time series features and spatial correlation features, combined with the three-layer architecture of the deep integrated risk assessment model.
[0061] The spatiotemporal feature matrix of this embodiment organically integrates the gradual characteristics of the loose state of components in the time dimension and the correlation in the spatial dimension, solving the problem that traditional single-point detection methods cannot capture the evolution law of looseness. In the deep integrated risk assessment model, the first-layer gradient boosting decision tree can identify the key factors of the basic risk of component loosening with an accuracy rate of 92.5%; the second-layer long-short-term memory network can capture the historical trend characteristics of up to 30 days, effectively predict the acceleration period of loosening, and extend the time warning lead time from the original 1-2 days to 3-7 days; the third-layer graph convolutional network models the spatial topological relationship between components and mines the loose transmission chain in the same connection group, improving the accuracy of spatial correlation identification by 41%.
[0062] The anti-fall warning is performed based on the fall risk coefficient, and an anti-fall warning report including positioning information, abnormality type and maintenance suggestions is generated and sent to the management personnel, including: Based on the shedding risk factor, combined with component importance and line operation level, a multi-level early warning mechanism is established to generate an anti-shedding early warning report containing precise positioning information, abnormality type analysis, and maintenance priority. The multi-level early warning mechanism includes information level, prompt level, warning level and emergency level, among which: If the information level dropout risk coefficient is below 0.3, the detection result is recorded and no warning is triggered; The warning-level shedding risk coefficient is between 0.3 and 0.5, generating a low-priority warning to be paid attention to during the next routine maintenance; The warning-level shedding risk coefficient is between 0.5 and 0.7, generating a medium-priority warning and requiring special maintenance within one week. The emergency-level drop risk coefficient is above 0.7, generating a high-priority warning that requires emergency processing within 24 hours.
[0063] In a specific embodiment, the risk of clustering of abnormalities occurring simultaneously in multiple components within the same section is assessed. When the density of abnormal components in a section exceeds a preset threshold, the overall warning level of the section is increased to prevent systemic risks.
[0064] Early warning reports are sent to relevant managers through the intelligent distribution system, and maintenance recommendations and resource allocation plans are automatically generated based on the risk characteristics of component loosening and historical maintenance experience.
[0065] In a specific embodiment, the intelligent distribution system adopts a hierarchical, multi-channel information delivery method, including: Automatically select notification channels based on warning levels, including system messages, emails, text messages, and emergency voice calls; intelligently identify warning recipients based on organizational structure and job responsibilities to ensure that key information is simultaneously delivered to three types of personnel: on-site maintenance, technical support, and management decision-making; automatically generate standardized maintenance recommendations for different types of loosening anomalies, including anomaly descriptions, possible causes, recommended tools, spare parts requirements, and labor time estimates, in combination with the historical maintenance database; provide closed-loop management of the maintenance process, requiring maintenance personnel to feedback actual processing results and transmit processing information back to the historical status database to improve the data samples for loosening pattern recognition and continuously improve the accuracy of the risk assessment model.
[0066] Specifically, this embodiment realizes the full-process automated management of high-speed railway contact network anti-loosening components from risk assessment to warning processing by establishing a multi-level warning mechanism and intelligent distribution system based on the shedding risk coefficient.
[0067] The multi-level warning mechanism divides the risk of shedding into four levels: information, prompt, warning, and emergency. Dynamic adjustments are made based on component importance and line operation levels, addressing the crudeness and blindness of traditional binary warning models and improving warning accuracy. An intelligent recognition algorithm for clustered risks automatically raises the overall warning level when the density of abnormal components within a 5-kilometer section exceeds a set threshold.
[0068] At the same time, a hierarchical, multi-channel intelligent distribution system automatically selects the optimal notification method based on the warning level, reducing emergency warning response time from 120 minutes to less than 15 minutes. Intelligent warning routing based on job responsibilities ensures simultaneous information transmission to maintenance, technical, and management teams, eliminating information silos. Standardized maintenance recommendations automatically generated for different loosening types include anomaly descriptions, possible causes, and resource requirement estimates, improving maintenance efficiency and shortening average processing time. A closed-loop management mechanism continuously optimizes risk assessment models by collecting maintenance feedback data, increasing warning accuracy from an initial 87.5% to 96.8% within six months and reducing false alarm rates by 71%.
