Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of railway catenary measurement technology, and discloses an online measurement system and method for AB value of a ratchet compensation device of an electrified railway catenary based on tension measurement. BACKGROUND
[0002] The catenary is the only contact part of the train pantograph and the power supply system in the high-speed railway power supply system, and its safe operation is related to the safe operation of the high-speed train. In order to ensure that the line sag and tension change after the temperature change can be safe and stable, a catenary compensation device is arranged, which includes a contact line compensation device and a load cable compensation device, and the working principles of the two are the same. The component in the compensation device, i.e., the plummet, is used to adjust the compensation tension of the contact line and the load cable, and the tension of the line is kept balanced by the gravity of the plummet string. When the temperature changes, the expansion and contraction of the line make the plummet string rise and fall, and when the plummet string rises and falls beyond the allowed range, such as falling too much to make the bottom surface of the plummet string contact the ground or rising too much to make the ear ring hole of the plummet rod be clamped in the fixed pulley groove, the compensator will lose the compensation effect. Therefore, the A and B values of the compensator are used to limit the rising and falling range of the plummet string. The distance from the center of the ear ring hole of the plummet rod to the lower edge of the compensation (fixed) pulley is the A value. The distance from the bottom surface of the lowermost plummet of the plummet string to the ground (or the base surface) is called the B value of the compensator. The A and B values of the compensator change with the temperature and tension.
[0003] One of the existing measurement methods for the A and B values of the contact line and the load cable is to rely on manual on-line site measurement, which is low in efficiency, low in precision, high in safety risk, and cannot achieve online real-time detection. The second method is to use a patrol vehicle or the like to detect the compensation device regularly or irregularly, and the detection data obtained by this method is only the data at the measurement time, and online real-time detection cannot be achieved. The third method is to use a range finder installed on the plummet to measure the distance, and the disadvantage of this method is that the installation is difficult, and the measurement precision is easily affected by the environment (dust, rain).
