Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of railway early warning equipment, and in particular to a railway-specific digital or analog private network communication early warning equipment. Background Art

[0002] Railway-specific wireless communication systems, as a core component of railway transportation dispatching and command, undertake crucial communication tasks such as train operation control, station-department intercommunication, and emergency command. Traditional railway-specific intercom systems coexist with analog formats (such as FM frequency modulation + CTCSS sub-audio) and digital formats (such as the DMR protocol). Existing communication monitoring equipment typically utilizes a single-format processing architecture, which suffers from the following technical drawbacks: 1) Dual-mode signal processing is incompatible, requiring two independent systems to monitor analog and digital communications, resulting in equipment redundancy and increased costs; 2) Signal validity is judged using a single dimension: analog formats rely solely on carrier detection, susceptible to co-channel interference, while digital formats lack multi-level verification using color codes and IDs, posing the risk of false triggering; 3) The lack of intelligent call feature extraction and identity recognition mechanisms makes it difficult to promptly detect unauthorized terminal access or illegal communication behavior. These issues directly impact the security of railway wireless communication networks and the reliability of dispatching and command. Summary of the Invention

[0028] In order to further understand the structure, features and other purposes of the present invention, the following detailed description is given in conjunction with the attached preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described in the drawings are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] As a first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a railway-specific digital or analog private network communication warning device, including a radio frequency receiving module 1, an analog signal processing module 2, a digital signal processing module 3, a signal feature detection module 4, a main control module 5 and a human-computer interaction module 8.

[0030] The RF receiving module 1 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the main control module 5, and the main control module 5 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the human-computer interaction module 8. The human-computer interaction module 8 is used to set the operating frequency and signaling of the RF receiving module 1. The operating frequency and signaling are the same as those of the railway-specific intercom, so that the RF receiving module 1 can receive the analog signal of the railway-specific intercom in the analog format and the digital signal in the digital format, and output the corresponding baseband audio signal or digital intermediate frequency signal, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0031] The analog signal processing module 2 is electrically and signal-connected to the RF receiving module 1 and is configured to perform carrier detection and sub-audio decoding on the analog signal from the RF receiving module 1. The digital signal processing module 3 is electrically and signal-connected to the RF receiving module 1 and is configured to perform carrier detection, color code decoding, and ID verification on the digital signal from the RF receiving module 1.

[0032] The signal feature detection module 4 is electrically and signal-connected to the analog signal processing module 2, the digital signal processing module 3 and the main control module 5 respectively. The signal feature detection module 4 is used to determine the validity of the call through the carrier and sub-audio in the analog format, and to determine the validity of the call through the carrier, color code and ID verification in the digital format. When the call is valid, a confirmation signal containing the ID of the railway-specific intercom is sent to the main control module 5 to monitor the usage of the railway-specific intercom.

[0033] This implementation method supports adaptive reception of analog / digital dual-mode signals through the collaborative design of the RF receiving module and the human-computer interaction module, and can cover the full operating frequency band of railway-specific walkie-talkies (such as the 400MHz analog / digital band), significantly reducing the complexity of equipment deployment. The system automatically identifies the signal format and switches to the corresponding processing channel, with a processing delay of less than 50ms. In the analog format, a dual-factor verification of carrier and sub-audio is adopted, and a three-level verification system of carrier, color code and ID is constructed in the digital format. Through the receiving function of railway-specific digital or analog walkie-talkies, the use of railway safety personnel's intercom equipment can be indirectly monitored, illegal terminal access or illegal communication behavior can be discovered in a timely manner, and the security of the railway wireless communication network and the reliability of dispatching and command can be improved.

[0034] As a second embodiment of the present invention, based on the first embodiment, it further includes a timer module 6 and an alarm output module 7. Figure 1As shown, the timer module 6 is electrically and signal-connected to the main control module 5. The human-computer interaction module 8 is also used to set the timer module 6's timer warning cycle time, so that when the main control module 5 receives a confirmation signal from the signal feature detection module 4, the timer module 6 is controlled to start timing, and after the railway-specific intercom stops calling, the timer module 6 is controlled to reset the warning cycle time to restart timing, and the timer module 6 sends an interrupt signal to the main control module 5 when the timing reaches a set threshold. The alarm output module 7 is electrically and signal-connected to the main control module 5. The alarm output module 7 is used to emit a warning tone, vibration, or light prompt when the timing reaches a set threshold and no call is received from the railway-specific intercom.

[0035] This embodiment sets a configurable monitoring period (such as 1-10 minutes adjustable) through the timer module 6. When the railway safety officer uses the intercom to initiate a call, the early warning device can simultaneously receive the call from the intercom, thereby monitoring the use of the safety officer's intercom device. When the intercom device stops calling, the early warning device will reset the early warning time and then restart the timing to reduce the false alarm rate and improve the reliability of the early warning. When the early warning device timing reaches the set time and no call from the intercom device is received, the early warning device will issue an early warning prompt sound, vibration, and light prompt. At this time, the safety officer perceives the prompt of the early warning device through sound / light reminder / vibration, which plays a role in periodically judging the work status of the safety officer and avoiding the risk of communication loss due to human negligence or equipment failure. The alarm output module 7 supports multi-mode alarms of sound, light and vibration, adapting to the complex environment of the railway site (such as high noise and low light scenes), ensuring that the safety officer can perceive abnormal conditions in time.

[0036] As a third embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the RF receiving module 1 includes a tunable bandpass filter 11 and a dual-mode RF chip 12. The tunable bandpass filter 11 is located between the antenna and the RF input of the dual-mode RF chip 12. The tunable bandpass filter 11 is electrically and signal-connected to the main control module 5. The center frequency of the tunable bandpass filter 11 is dynamically adjusted by the tuning voltage output by the main control module 5 to suppress out-of-band interference and improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the target frequency band.

[0037] The dual-mode RF chip 12 is connected to the main control module 5, the analog signal processing module 2, and the digital signal processing module 3. The dual-mode RF chip 12 (e.g., AT1846S) receives the RF signal preprocessed by the tunable bandpass filter 11, samples the signal envelope using a built-in ADC, analyzes the RF signal's duty cycle and spectral characteristics, and outputs a baseband audio signal to the analog signal processing module 2 and a digital intermediate frequency signal to the digital signal processing module 3. The main control module 5 connects to the dual-mode RF chip 12 via an SPI interface, configuring its operating mode parameters in real time. These include the squelch threshold and sub-audio CTCSS frequency in analog mode, and the color code range and TDMA time slot parameters in digital mode.

[0038] In this embodiment, the tunable bandpass filter 11 dynamically adjusts its center frequency based on the tuning voltage output by the main control module 5, accurately matching the operating frequency band of the railway-specific intercom (e.g., UHF 400-470MHz), thereby improving signal capture stability in complex electromagnetic environments. The dual-mode RF chip 12 (e.g., AT1846S) samples the RF signal envelope in real time through a built-in ADC, automatically analyzes the duty cycle to determine the digital / analog format, and analyzes the spectrum characteristics to determine, for example, bandwidth and modulation mode, thereby achieving switching response to the intercom signal under the digital / analog format of the railway-specific intercom.

[0039] As a fourth embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the analog signal processing module 2 includes an analog signal carrier detection unit 21 and a sub-audio decoding unit 22. The analog signal carrier detection unit 21 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the sub-audio decoding unit 22, and the carrier detection unit 21 and the sub-audio decoding unit 22 are electrically connected and signal-connected to the signal feature detection module 4 respectively.

[0040] The analog signal carrier detection unit 21 is configured as an envelope detector, a bandpass filter, and a comparator connected in sequence. The envelope detector extracts the signal amplitude envelope waveform from the baseband audio signal, filters out-of-band noise with the bandpass filter, and outputs a pure carrier signal. The comparator compares the filtered carrier signal with a preset voltage threshold to generate a carrier presence flag signal. Using a cascaded architecture of an envelope detector, a bandpass filter, and a comparator, the analog signal carrier detection unit 21 extracts the carrier envelope waveform from the baseband audio signal and dynamically determines carrier presence (e.g., CTCSS / DCS enable status) using a preset voltage threshold, effectively avoiding carrier misjudgments caused by signal attenuation or sudden noise.

[0041] The sub-audio decoding unit 22 is configured as a cascaded programmable low-pass filter and a sub-audio decoder. It uses the programmable low-pass filter to separate the sub-audio component from the baseband audio signal, decodes the sub-audio component through the sub-audio decoder, and outputs a sub-audio code value. The sub-audio decoding unit 22 uses a programmable low-pass filter (with an adjustable cutoff frequency, such as 67-250Hz) to filter out speech and high-frequency noise, accurately separating the sub-audio signal and ensuring reliable resolution of the sub-audio identity even in strong background noise.

[0042] The analog signal carrier detection unit 21 transmits the signal strength, carrier frequency and carrier existence flag signal of the carrier, and the sub-audio code value of the sub-audio decoding unit 22 to the signal feature detection module 4 .

[0043] The analog signal processing module 2 of this embodiment collaboratively analyzes the carrier and sub-audio through the analog signal carrier detection unit 21 and the sub-audio decoding unit 22, which solves the limitation of traditional analog signal monitoring equipment relying on a single criterion (such as only detecting the carrier), and provides dual technical verification for the compliance use of railway safety officers' analog walkie-talkies, further enhancing the reliability and authority of the communication early warning system.

[0044] As a fifth embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the digital signal processing module 3 includes a digital carrier detection unit 31, a color code decoding unit 32 and an ID verification unit 33. The digital carrier detection unit 31 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the color code decoding unit 32 and the ID verification unit 33 respectively, and the digital carrier detection unit 31, the color code decoding unit 32 and the ID verification unit 33 are electrically connected and signal-connected to the signal feature detection module 4 respectively.

[0045] The digital carrier detection unit 31 is configured as a digital down-converter, a digital band-pass filter, and a power detector. It is used to perform orthogonal demodulation on the digital intermediate frequency signal through the digital down-converter to generate a baseband I / Q data stream, filter out-of-band noise and extract the valid digital signal through the digital band-pass filter, and determine the presence of the carrier and the signal strength through the power detector. For digital modulated signals (such as DMR), it is necessary to extract the baseband signal through digital down-conversion and filtering, and power detection determines the validity of the carrier. It is adapted to common frequency bands of railway digital private networks (such as 400MHz UHF) to avoid adjacent channel interference. The digital carrier detection unit 31 uses orthogonal demodulation (I / Q demodulation) and digital band-pass filtering technology to effectively suppress adjacent channel interference and phase noise.

[0046] The color code decoding unit 32 is configured as a synchronization header detector and a color code extractor. The synchronization header detector matches the frame synchronization sequence in the digital signal to determine time slot boundaries and frame structure. The color code extractor parses the color code field from the synchronized data frame and converts it into a color code number. Railway digital private networks (such as DMR) rely on color codes to distinguish logical channels, requiring synchronization and color code extraction to ensure channel legitimacy. The color code decoding unit 32 quickly locks to time slot boundaries by matching the frame synchronization sequence (such as the DMR time slot synchronization header). The color code extractor parses the color code field (0-15) based on a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error correction mechanism, improving decoding accuracy, avoiding signal crosstalk between adjacent railway communication groups (same frequency, different color codes), and ensuring the privacy of intra-group communications.

[0047] The ID verification unit 33 is configured as an ID parser and a pre-stored ID matcher. It extracts the sender ID information from the address field of the data frame through the ID parser, compares the extracted ID with the list of legal IDs preset by the main control module 5 through the pre-stored ID matcher, and outputs the verification result. By comparing the pre-stored ID list (such as the railway dispatcher's authorized ID), the legitimacy of the call identity is verified, meeting the authority management requirements of railway on-site personnel. The ID verification unit 33 extracts the sender ID from the data frame and performs a hash match with the legal ID database preset by the main control module 5, blocking the risk of unauthorized device access at the source.

[0048] The digital carrier detection unit 31 transmits the carrier signal strength and existence flag, the color code decoding unit 32 transmits the color code number, and the ID verification unit 33 transmits the ID verification result to the signal feature detection module 4 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the digital signal processing module 3 implements multi-level collaborative processing of carrier detection, color code decoding and ID verification through the digital carrier detection unit 31, color code decoding unit 32 and ID verification unit 33, thereby achieving high-reliability analysis and security management of digital signals.

[0050] As a sixth embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the signal feature detection module 4 includes an analog validity judgment unit 41, a digital validity judgment unit 42 and a logic arbitration unit 43. The analog validity judgment unit 41 and the digital validity judgment unit 42 are electrically connected and signal-connected to the logic arbitration unit 43 respectively, and the logic arbitration unit 43 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the main control module 5.

[0051] The simulation validity judgment unit 41 receives the carrier signal strength and existence flag from the simulation signal processing module 2, and generates a carrier validity flag by comparing the carrier strength with the preset threshold and verifying whether the carrier frequency is within the railway-specific frequency band. The simulation validity judgment unit 41 receives the sub-audio code value from the simulation signal processing module 2, matches it with the legal sub-audio list preset by the main control module 5, and generates a sub-audio validity flag. When the carrier validity flag and the sub-audio validity flag are established at the same time, the simulation validity judgment unit 41 sends a simulation format validity signal to the logic arbitration unit 43. The simulation validity judgment unit 41 implements double verification through a hardware comparator and a matcher to ensure the legitimacy of the simulation call. The simulation validity judgment unit 41 synchronously checks the carrier strength (≥preset threshold), the carrier frequency band (railway-specific range) and the sub-audio code (matching the whitelist). The three criteria are combined to take effect, and the illegal simulation signal interception rate is ≥99.8%.

[0052] The digital validity judgment unit 42 receives the carrier signal strength and presence flag from the digital signal processing module 3. It generates a digital carrier validity flag by determining whether the carrier strength continuously exceeds the threshold and whether the carrier duty cycle complies with the digital protocol specification. The digital validity judgment unit 42 receives the color code number from the digital signal processing module 3, compares it with the list of legal color codes preset by the main control module 5, and generates a color code validity flag. The digital validity judgment unit 42 receives the ID verification result from the digital signal processing module 3 and generates an ID validity flag by verifying the format validity and permission level of the ID. When the carrier validity flag, color code validity flag, and ID validity flag are all present, the digital validity judgment unit 42 sends a digital format validity signal to the logic arbitration unit 43. The digital validity judgment unit 42 ensures the compliance of digital communications through multi-level verification logic based on carrier stability, color code matching, and ID permission. The digital validity judgment unit 42 integrates carrier duty cycle (such as DMR 30%-70%), color code (0-15 legal group number) and ID authority (dispatcher / inspector classification) verification, with a 100% blocking rate for unauthorized digital signals, eliminating the risk of counterfeit device access.

[0053] The logic arbitration unit 43 is used to select either the analog or digital valid signal as the current valid determination result based on the system priority strategy configured by the main control module 5. Based on the current valid determination result, it generates a confirmation signal containing the corresponding railway-specific intercom ID, system type, and timestamp, and transmits it to the main control module 5. The logic arbitration unit 43 supports dynamic priority configuration by the main control module, resolving conflicts when dual-mode signals coexist, and ensuring unique determination results. The logic arbitration unit 43 can be implemented using the SN74LS148 8-line to 3-line priority encoder.

[0054] The signal feature detection module 4 of this embodiment performs analog and digital dual-channel validity judgment and intelligent arbitration mechanism through the analog validity judgment unit 41, the digital validity judgment unit 42 and the logic arbitration unit 43 to achieve full-dimensional security management and control of railway communication signals.

[0055] As a seventh embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the timer module 6 includes a clock source unit 61, a timing control unit 62, a threshold comparison unit 63 and an interrupt trigger unit 64. The clock source unit 61 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the timing control unit 62, the timing control unit 62 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the threshold comparison unit 63, the threshold comparison unit 63 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the interrupt trigger unit 64, the interrupt trigger unit 64 is electrically connected and signal-connected to the main control module 5, and the timing control unit 62, the threshold comparison unit 63 and the interrupt trigger unit 64 are respectively electrically connected and signal-connected to the main control module 5.

[0056] The clock source unit 61 is used to generate a reference clock signal and output a timing drive pulse. The timing control unit 62 is used to receive the timing drive pulse, and to perform cumulative counting when receiving the timing instruction sent by the main control module 5, and to clear it when the main control module 5 sends a reset instruction. The threshold comparison unit 63 is used to store the count value threshold corresponding to the timing warning cycle time set by the main control module 5 through the human-computer interaction module 8, and to compare the current count value of the timing control unit 62 with the count value threshold in real time, and to send a timeout flag to the interrupt trigger unit 64 when the two are equal. The interrupt trigger unit 64 is used to generate a high-level interrupt request signal after receiving the timeout flag, and transmit it to the main control module 5. The timer module of this embodiment realizes precise periodic control of the communication behavior of railway safety officers through a multi-unit collaborative timing and interrupt triggering mechanism.

[0057] As an eighth embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the alarm output module 7 includes an audio-visual alarm unit 71 and a vibration motor unit 72. The audio-visual alarm unit 71 and the vibration motor unit 72 are respectively electrically and signal-connected to the main control module 5. The audio-visual alarm unit 71 is used to output sound pressure in conjunction with a three-color LED strobe indication according to the control signal of the main control module 5, and the vibration motor unit 72 is used to generate vibration according to the control signal of the main control module 5. This embodiment overcomes the perception limitations of a single mode in complex railway scenarios by integrating multi-dimensional alarms of sound, light, and vibration, ensuring that safety officers can respond immediately to communication anomalies under any working conditions.

[0058] In addition, the human-computer interaction module 8 is connected to the 2The C bus is electrically and signal-connected to the main control module 5. The human-computer interaction module 8 may include a function button group and a liquid crystal display. The function button group includes a frequency setting key, a timing adjustment key, and an early warning reset key, which are used for manual operation through the function button group. The liquid crystal display is used to display the usage status, remaining early warning time and alarm status of each railway-specific walkie-talkie in real time.

[0059] The above-mentioned railway-specific digital or analog private network communication warning equipment has the receiving function of railway-specific digital or analog walkie-talkies, and can indirectly monitor the use of railway safety officers' walkie-talkie equipment. The specific operating process of this warning device is as follows: first, the operating frequency and signaling are preset to be the same as those of the railway-specific equipment, and a timed warning cycle time of 1 to 10 minutes is set, which is implemented through the human-computer interaction module 8. Railway-specific walkie-talkies are divided into analog and digital formats. When the railway-specific walkie-talkie uses the analog format, the warning device's RF receiving module 1, analog signal processing module 2, and signal feature detection module 4 identify the railway walkie-talkie's call status by determining the same carrier and sub-audio frequency. When the railway-specific walkie-talkie uses the digital format, the warning device uses the RF receiving module 1, digital signal processing module 3, and signal feature detection module 4 to determine whether the railway walkie-talkie is transmitting by determining the carrier, color code, and ID.

[0060] When the security officer initiates a call using the intercom device, the early warning device can simultaneously receive the call from the intercom, which is achieved through the radio frequency receiving module 1, and the timer module 6 starts timing. When the intercom device stops calling, the timer module 6 of the early warning device will reset the early warning time and then restart the timing. When the early warning device reaches the set time and has not received a call from the intercom device, the alarm output module 7 of the early warning device will emit an early warning prompt sound, vibration, and light prompt. At this time, the security officer perceives the prompt of the early warning device through sound / light reminder / vibration, which plays a role in periodically judging the work status of the security officer. The security officer can reset the early warning time through a dedicated button.

[0061] By utilizing the receiving function of railway-specific digital or analog intercoms, the present invention can indirectly monitor the usage of railway safety officers' intercom equipment, periodically judge the work status of safety officers, promptly discover illegal terminal access or illegal communication behavior, and improve the security of the railway wireless communication network and the reliability of dispatching and command.
