Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of railway bed maintenance equipment, in particular to a walking device and a control method thereof through a turnout harmful space. BACKGROUND

[0002] Railway is one of the important transportation carriers, and plays a decisive role in the development of world economy. Turnout is a kind of line connection equipment that makes locomotive and vehicle turn into another track, and is also one of the weak links of the track, which is usually laid in large quantities in stations, marshalling yards and vehicle depots. Turnout can fully exert the passing capacity of the line and plays an especially important role in the railway line.

[0003] Under the action of high-speed heavy-load train movement and alternating load of wheel-rail relationship, fatigue hardening gradually occurs on the surface of the turnout section rail, and continuously intensifies and develops with time, evolving into diseases such as hardening cracks, corrugation, side wear, fat edge and peeling block, which brings safety hazards to the normal operation of the railway. Therefore, the diseases of the turnout section must be treated and repaired regularly. Due to the complex structure of the turnout section and the existence of weak structures such as the point rail and the center rail, the existing large track maintenance machinery cannot fully cover the grinding and repair, and the common repair method is to use small track maintenance machinery or a grinding machine to grind the complex structure area manually, which has the disadvantages of low grinding efficiency, poor grinding operation environment, high labor intensity, and grinding quality depending on the technical level and experience of the construction personnel. Therefore, using large track maintenance machinery to carry out full-range operation and maintenance of the turnout section will be the development direction of the future turnout section rail maintenance.

[0004] The turnout section includes complex structures such as point rail, guard rail and frog center rail, and the track gauge of different sections of the turnout varies greatly. At the same time, in order to meet the precision requirements of the profile grinding and repair of the turnout section rail, the grinding device needs high positioning accuracy and control accuracy. Therefore, a walking mechanism capable of smoothly passing through the turnout section is needed to carry the grinding device. Due to the complexity of the structure of the turnout section, the existing rail grinding car is divided into main line grinding and turnout grinding car. The main line grinding car can only grind the main line section, and the walking mechanism of the grinding device does not have the ability to pass through the turnout. The usual practice is to lift the walking mechanism at a distance from the turnout, pass through the turnout, and then lower the walking mechanism to start grinding. The existing turnout grinding car has the ability to pass through the turnout, but the structure design of the rail supporting device is unreasonable. When passing through the turnout harmful space, i.e. the area where the track continuity is interrupted, the application and unloading of the rail supporting force need to be controlled artificially. Once the human operation fails, the rail supporting force is not unloaded in time, and the guide wheel will enter the area where the track continuity is interrupted under the action of the rail supporting force, which is easy to cause the collision between the guide wheel and the frog center, and even the safety accident of the guide wheel entering the abnormal walking space. SUMMARY

[0005] The invention aims to provide a walking device and a control method thereof through a turnout harmful space, so as to automatically unload and load the support rail force borne by the guide wheel group when the walking device passes through the turnout section, to form full-automatic avoidance of the turnout harmful space, to eliminate the risk of manual operation failure, and to ensure the transverse stability and equipment safety of the grinding trolley operation.

[0057] As shown in the embodiment, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 The transverse driving device 12 is a hydraulic cylinder, and the piston rod and the cylinder body thereof are respectively connected to the first guide plate assembly 8 and the second guide plate assembly 9; a connecting rod mechanism 11 is arranged between the first guide plate assembly 8 and the second guide plate assembly 9 to form a parallelogram kinematic pair.

[0058] In other embodiments, the transverse driving device 12 can also be an electro-hydraulic push rod.

[0059] In the embodiment, the track detection module 13 is a laser radar and is arranged at the front and rear ends of the walking frame, and is used for collecting three-dimensional point cloud data of the track 5; the control system performs three-dimensional modeling by performing data processing on the three-dimensional point cloud data, identifies the harmful space of the turnout, that is, the area where the continuity of the track 5 is interrupted, and calculates the length L1 of the harmful space of the turnout and the distance between the harmful space of the turnout and the polishing trolley.

[0063] Embodiment two

[0064] The present application provides a control method for a running device passing through a harmful space of a turnout. The method is realized based on the aforementioned running device and comprises the following steps:

[0065] S1. Lower the grinding trolley provided with the running device onto the straight section of the track 5. The control system controls the rail supporting mechanism 4 to apply the rail supporting force, so that the guide wheels of the guide wheel set 3 tightly adhere to the inner side of the rail of the track 5.

[0066] S2. Before the grinding trolley enters the turnout section, the track detection module 13 is used to collect track feature data in real time, and the control system is used to process the track feature data to identify the harmful space of the turnout and calculate the length L1 of the harmful space of the turnout and the distance between the harmful space of the turnout and the grinding trolley, so as to obtain the real-time positional relationship between the grinding trolley and the harmful space of the turnout.

[0067] Preferably, an on-track inductive switch is arranged below the running device and close to the track 5. When the grinding trolley is lowered onto the straight section of the track 5, the on-track inductive switch senses that the grinding trolley is on the track, and the control system automatically controls the rail supporting mechanism 4 to apply the rail supporting force, so that the guide wheels of the guide wheel set 3 tightly adhere to the inner side of the rail of the track 5.

[0068] S3. When the distance between the turnout harmful space and the grinding trolley is detected to be reduced to equal to the safety threshold S, the mileage data D recorded in the control system is set to zero, and at the same time, the control system triggers the unloading instruction, the rail supporting mechanism releases the rail supporting force, the guide wheels of the guide wheel set 3 lose the outward force, and the lateral distance relative to the rail remains unchanged, so that the grinding trolley can smoothly pass through the turnout harmful space.

[0069] S4. The grinding trolley continues to travel, and when the mileage data D satisfies D > L0+S+L1, the grinding trolley passes through the turnout harmful space, wherein L0 is the length of the vehicle body of the grinding trolley, the control system triggers the loading instruction, and the rail supporting mechanism 4 re-applies the rail supporting force, so that the guide wheels of the guide wheel set 3 are again subjected to outward force and tightly adhere to the inner side of the rail.

[0070] In this embodiment, the lateral driving device 12 is a hydraulic cylinder, and when the control system triggers the unloading instruction, the control system controls the oil cylinder solenoid valve of the hydraulic cylinder to lose power, the oil cylinder acting force is unloaded, the guide wheels lose the outward force, the lateral distance relative to the rail remains unchanged, and the grinding trolley can smoothly pass through the turnout harmful space. The safety threshold S is set to 1 m.

[0071] Preferably, the front and rear ends of the running frame are each provided with a laser radar, and the grinding trolley can travel in both directions through the turnout section. When the grinding trolley passes through the turnout section in the opposite direction, real-time detection is performed by the laser radar at the other end; the laser radar collects three-dimensional point cloud data of the track, the control system processes the three-dimensional point cloud data, generates a three-dimensional model, and performs feature recognition and measurement on the three-dimensional model.

[0072] When the grinding trolley is in the non-grinding working state and is only moving quickly on the track 5, it is not appropriate to simply set a static safety threshold S, and it is necessary to consider a certain compensation for the safety threshold S based on the moving speed of the grinding trolley, the recognition and calculation delay of the control system, and the execution delay of the mechanical system. In order to solve this problem, the odometer sensor is also used to measure the real-time running speed v(t) of the running frame in real time, the safety threshold S is a dynamic safety threshold calculated by the control system, and the calculation of the safety threshold S is based on the pre-set static safety distance S0, and also considers the influence of the real-time running speed v(t), the real-time acceleration a(t) and the system response delay time Δt. The calculation formula is:

[0073]

[0074] Wherein, the preset static safety distance S0 is set by manual input to the control system, the real-time acceleration a(t) is calculated by differentiating the real-time running speed v(t), the system response delay time Delta t is set by manual after considering the response delay factors of the control system and the mechanical system, k1 and k2 are dynamic compensation coefficients, which can be calibrated by experiment, and can also be set by manual according to experience, for example, set k1=0.2, k2=0.3.

[0075] In the embodiment, the running device further comprises a wheel track detection sensor arranged between the left and right guide wheel groups 3 at the lower part of the running frame, for real-time detection of the actual wheel track between the left and right guide wheel groups 3, the control system pre-stores a standard wheel track, and when the deviation between the actual wheel track and the standard wheel track exceeds a preset threshold, the transverse driving device of the rail supporting mechanism is triggered to perform dynamic compensation loading, which can improve the control accuracy and also ensure that the grinding trolley will not derail due to too small wheel track when accidentally subjected to lateral force after the rail supporting force is completely unloaded.

[0076] The running device provided by the application controls the turnout harmful space by using the track detection module 13 to collect track feature data in real time, using the control system to identify the turnout harmful space, calculating the length L1 of the turnout harmful space, comparing the distance between the turnout harmful space and the grinding trolley with the safety threshold S, and cooperating with the mileage sensor to identify the state of the running device approaching and passing through the turnout harmful space, and controlling the rail supporting mechanism 4 to automatically unload and load the rail supporting force on the guide wheel group 3, so as to realize the full-automatic avoidance of the running device to the turnout harmful space, eliminate the risk of manual operation errors, and ensure the transverse stability and equipment safety of the grinding trolley operation.

[0077] Although the application has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the application, and equivalent substitutions can be made to the components thereof. In particular, the technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any manner as long as there is no structural conflict.

The method for controlling a running device passing through a harmful space of a turnout according to claim 6, characterized in that: The running device also includes a wheelbase detection sensor, which is arranged between the left and right guide wheel groups at the lower part of the running frame, and is used to detect the actual wheelbase between the left and right guide wheel groups in real time. The control system pre-stores the standard track gauge. When it is detected that the deviation between the actual wheelbase and the standard track gauge exceeds a preset threshold, the lateral drive device of the track support mechanism is triggered to perform dynamic compensation loading.
