Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application is a divisional application of "Application No. 202310599141.9, Invention Name: A Hollow Rail Track Beam Inner Cavity Size Measuring Vehicle and Its Measurement Method", belonging to the technical field of suspended rail transit, mainly relating to a measurement method of a hollow rail track beam inner cavity size measuring vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The air rail train refers to the air rail train, which is a suspended monorail transit system, does not need to expand the existing road facilities in the city, and can relieve the urban traffic problem. The track of the air rail is supported in the air by steel or concrete columns above the train, and is suitable for rail transit between cities.

[0003] The air rail has the advantages of low construction cost, fast engineering construction, small land occupation, detachability and mobility, full-process automation, environmental protection, low noise and energy saving, etc.; and is being promoted and tried in various cities in China.

[0004] The suspended monorail track beam is a closed cavity structure, and the bogie of the air rail train runs in the inner cavity. Therefore, the size accuracy of the inner cavity of the track beam will determine whether the bogie can run smoothly; and whether the bogie runs smoothly will also directly affect the ride comfort of the air rail train.

[0005] Application No. CN2017113295870 is an automatic walking detection device suitable for air rail track, mainly aiming at the background technical patent document CN2017101486294, which is an air rail transit system based on embedded track, that is, the invention adopts a walking part of a steel walking wheel and cooperates with an embedded track system to form a steel wheel-rail walking system, replacing the traditional air rail traffic rubber wheel walking mechanism. The walking part of the steel walking wheel greatly reduces the wheel wear and operation energy consumption, and reduces the maintenance cost. The provided technical solution mainly provides an automatic walking detection device for solving the "embedded track air rail transit system" steel wheel running track working condition.

[0006] Application No. CN2021214197415 is a track beam measuring vehicle, which mainly discloses a measuring device for measuring the super height of the track beam running surface and the inner spacing of the track beam guide surface;

[0007] Application No. CN2021214197415 is a track beam measuring vehicle, which discloses a measuring device for measuring the super height of the track beam running surface and the inner spacing of the track beam guide surface;

[0008] Application No. CN2022213253465 is a test vehicle for track beam, which mainly collects the profile parameters of the outer surface of the track beam and the walking parameters of the rack.

[0009] Application number CN2022233632093 is an automatically adjustable track beam internal spacing detection device, which is a hand-held manual measuring device that is pushed longitudinally along the track beam and reads the corresponding values ​​through the transparent dial to observe the telescopic rod scale mark line for multi-point data recording; its measurement accuracy is poor and the labor intensity is high.

[0010] The above-mentioned patent documents that are relatively similar to the technical solution of the present invention are different in terms of device composition structure, measurement object, measurement position, measurement means, detection method, implementation effect, etc., and the measurement accuracy and detection method are not ideal. The main detection scenario is also to detect the working conditions of the rail train that has already been running. It does not involve the measurement and testing of the inner cavity size of the track beam of the sky rail train before the operation, and does not propose solutions to the difficulties caused by the rectification of problems encountered in the detection after the train is running.

[0011] The track beam is a crucial component of a suspended monorail train. It's a closed cavity within which the bogie travels. The bogie's running wheels are driven by motors on the running boards beneath the track beam. Auxiliary wheels on either side stabilize the bogie via the webs on the sides of the track beam. The bogie's power and grounding shoes also rub against the power and grounding rails mounted on the sides of the track beam. Therefore, the dimensions of the track beam's cavity determine the bogie's smooth operation, which in turn directly impacts the train's ride comfort.

[0012] Due to the above reasons, the inner cavity size of the track beam is very critical and needs to be strictly controlled during the manufacturing process. However, since the track beam is a closed cavity structure, it is not convenient to measure its inner cavity size with a tape measure. Although it is convenient to measure with a laser rangefinder, the accuracy is only at the millimeter level, and it is difficult to accurately measure the size of the track beam, especially the measurement of curved beams. In addition, the inner cavity space of the track beam is not spacious, and people can only walk around bent over. If you want to measure tens of meters or even kilometers, it will be very uncomfortable and tiring when operating. When the train is officially running and the error in the inner cavity size of the track beam exceeds the set threshold, it is more troublesome to rework and repair the inner cavity size of the track beam, especially for the supplier manufacturer. It is difficult to improve the processing technology, which will directly affect the product delivery time, the train passage period and the train operation quality. Summary of the Invention

Specific implementation methods

[0044] In order to better illustrate the technical solution and implementation effect of the present invention, the technical solution and specific implementation method of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the measuring vehicle body 6 is located in the track beam 1; a battery 11 is provided on the measuring vehicle body 6 to provide power for the detection box controller 13, hub 16, motor controller 17 and detection host 18 on the measuring vehicle body 6; the running wheel 10 is located at the bottom of the measuring vehicle body 6, connected to the wheel axle 101, synchronous belt 102, and drive motor 103, and driven by the drive motor 103; the guide stabilization device mainly relies on the guide wheel 7 for stable walking. The guide wheel 7 is located at the upper and lower positions on the front and rear sides of the measuring vehicle body 6 to ensure the smoothness of the measuring vehicle body 6 when moving straight or turning.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the obstacle detector 15 is located at the front and rear ends of the measuring vehicle body 6. It automatically issues an alarm and executes an extension command when the detection box 9 and the measuring gauge 91 on the measuring vehicle body 6 pass through obstacles, especially when passing through a track expansion joint. The principle and execution process of the detection box 9 extension and contraction are as follows: During the operation of the measuring vehicle body 6, it is inevitable to pass through a track expansion joint. Because the track beam is not a complete single track beam, but rather an assembly of multiple track beams, there will be an expansion gap between two adjacent track beams 1. When the measuring vehicle body 6 passes through the expansion joint, the probe of the measuring gauge 91 can get stuck in the expansion joint and subsequently break.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, to prevent the probe of measuring gauge 91 from breaking or being damaged when encountering a track expansion joint, a remotely controlled movable structure is designed on the detection box 9. Specifically, a motion block 92, a lead screw 93, and a guide rail 95 are positioned between the measuring gauge 91 and the motor 94 of the detection box 9. The measuring gauge 91 is connected to the motion block 92, and the lead screw 93 drives the motor 94 to extend and slide along the guide rail 95. The forward and reverse motion of the motor 94 transmits measurement information to the detection box controller 13 via an internal sensor, which then controls the movable structure through remote control. When the probe of measuring gauge 91 encounters a track expansion joint, this remote control allows it to avoid the joint.

[0048] When the measuring vehicle body 6 encounters foreign objects or passes through an expansion joint in the track beam 1, the obstacle detection unit 15 will sound an alarm 10-15 meters in advance. When the detection host 18 receives the alarm from the obstacle detection unit 15, its measurement signal will be transmitted to the remote access device via a mobile communication transmitter, a SIM card, and a mobile computer via WIFI networking, realizing fully automatic control. That is, when the detection vehicle is about to reach the expansion joint, the measuring vehicle body 6 stops, and the measuring gauge 91 on the detection box 9, together with the probe, is driven by the motor 94, and follows the motion block 92 along the lead screw 93 and the guide rail 95 to slide out of the track expansion joint measurement surface of the track beam 1. After the measuring vehicle body 6 passes the expansion joint, the detection box 9 stops running under the control of the above-mentioned measurement-related system, and then extends the measuring gauge 91 according to the transmission in the above-mentioned detection box 9 to continue measuring the inner cavity dimensions of the track beam.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the measurement dimensions measured by the measuring table 91 on the detection box 9 will be transmitted to the remote client through a laptop computer and a 4G signal for information collection and processing; at the same time, during the measurement walking process, the obstacle detection integrated 15 is used to detect obstacles and track expansion joints in the measurement process, and the start, stop and extension functions are realized through the transmission of the motor 94 according to the instructions issued by the automatic control system set by the remote client.

[0050] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, a testing method for an empty rail track beam inner cavity dimension measuring vehicle of the present invention is to transmit the value measured by the measuring table 91 of the detection box 9 to a WIFI mobile processing device through an internal sensor, and then transmit the data information to a remote control device through a mobile device communication transmitter. The remote control device generates an instantaneous measurement "dimensional tolerance data value chart" and "dimensional tolerance data wave line chart" by a signal receiver and signal data image processing software.

[0051] The measurement values ​​of the "Dimension Tolerance Data Value Chart" include probe position information, probe measurement values, measurement frequency, and measurement time; the measurement acquisition frequency of each item in the Dimension Tolerance Data Value Chart can be set according to different track beam working conditions.

[0052] like Figure 8As shown, the present invention provides a method for measuring the inner dimensions of an empty track beam. The measurement item data of the "dimensional tolerance data wave line diagram" generated by the above technical solution includes five groups: A, B, C, D, and E. Group A is the measurement wave line values ​​of each section along the entire route: - left lower guide, - left upper guide, - left running board, - right lower guide; - right running board, - right upper guide, - top; Group B is: lower guide width; Group C is: upper guide width; Group D is: running height difference; Group E is: left inner height and right inner height. The longitudinal and transverse coordinate values ​​of each group of data are the dimensional tolerance and distance setting values ​​of the detection section, which can be set according to the track beam measurement working conditions.

[0053] The “Dimensional tolerance data wave line diagram” is combined with the “Dimensional tolerance data value chart” to automatically generate a track beam inner cavity dimension inspection report through data analysis software.

[0054] During the measurement of the inner dimensions of the empty rail track beam, the acquisition frequency and accuracy setting range of the measurement table 91 of the detection box 9 can be formulated according to the actual working conditions; the maximum acquisition frequency is 50 milliseconds, and the accuracy is 0.01mm~0.001mm.

[0055] The detection host 18 of the empty track beam inner cavity dimension measuring vehicle of the present invention stores the measurement data values ​​of the entire road section and the over-threshold data chart and wave line diagram, and automatically stops and re-inspects the over-threshold historical wave line section when the measuring vehicle body 6 reviews the repaired track beam inner cavity dimension section, and automatically generates a new track beam inner cavity dimension detection chart and wave line diagram by comparing the historical detection data.
