Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of overhead contact line transition technology, specifically a transition method for overhead contact lines in the absence of interruption of operation in existing subway depots. Background Technology

[0002] The subway track contact network is a dedicated power supply line erected above the rails. It transmits electrical energy from the traction substation to the train drive system via a pantograph that slides into contact with a sliding plate on the train's roof, providing continuous power for subway operation. Its structural forms are mainly divided into two categories: overhead and contact rail. The overhead flexible contact network uses a chain-like suspension design of the catenary and contact wire, suitable for elevated and ground-level sections. The overhead rigid contact network uses busbars to fix the contact wire and is mainly used in tunnel sections. The contact rail collects current through contact between the trackside conductive rail and the current collector shoe. All three must ensure power supply stability and safety to meet the high-density, high-capacity operational needs of urban rail transit.

[0003] However, traditional overhead contact line transition construction typically requires a complete shutdown of the entire line to create a work window. It adopts a linear process of segmented dismantling and reconstruction, first cutting off the existing power supply system and then erecting new equipment. The process relies on manual measurement and positioning and mechanical hoisting, which not only interrupts train operation but also takes several weeks to months. Its rigid design is difficult to adapt to tunnel settlement or temperature deformation, which can easily lead to contact wire tension imbalance and increased local wear. Especially in the anchor section joints and turnout areas, it can easily cause pantograph-catenary arcing or wire breakage. Furthermore, the switching between the old and new systems requires multiple switching operations and lacks real-time monitoring methods. Current transfer errors may exceed the limits and cause power supply disturbances. At the same time, the maintenance costs are high and significantly affect the normal operation of the urban transportation network.

[0004] In summary, a transition method for the overhead contact system without interrupting operation of existing subway depots is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0151] Step 8. Based on the contact pressure and offline rate data with a sampling rate of 1kHz, optimize the elastic coefficient of the suspension point to 15-20kN / mm using an LSTM neural network to compensate for the lifting amount and ensure that the standard deviation of the contact pressure is ≤20N and the offline rate is <5%.

[0152] Specifically, the implementation steps are as follows:

[0153] Step 8.1. Multi-source data acquisition: Fiber optic sensor plus vehicle-mounted monitoring device, sampling rate 1kHz;

[0154] Step 8.2. LSTM Model Training: Input historical data, output optimized elasticity coefficient values;

[0155] Step 8.3. Lifting compensation execution: Automatically adjust the hanger bolts to compensate for uneven flow sections;

[0156] Step 8.4. Closed-loop verification: Retest the pantograph-catenary dynamics index within 72 hours after optimization. If the index is not met, initiate a second optimization.

[0157] Through the above steps, the method of this invention uses high-precision three-dimensional laser scanning and four-dimensional BIM modeling to predict conflict points, combined with U-shaped insulating cross bracing to solve the spatial interference of rigid and flexible suspension in low clearance areas, and uses pre-lifted busbars and zone insulators to achieve seamless parallel switching of old and new power supply systems, greatly reducing operational interference; during nighttime skylight periods, hydraulic synchronous control lowers the rigid net segment by segment with millimeter-level precision, supplemented by AI-driven LSTM neural network to dynamically optimize the elastic coefficient, ensuring that the standard deviation of contact pressure is ≤20N, and finally forming a closed-loop optimization system. This not only compresses single-segment construction to within 3 hours and eliminates pantograph-catenary accidents, extending equipment life, but also reduces the amount of temporary supports and saves annual maintenance costs.
