Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of outdoor electrical equipment installation technology for railway tracks, and in particular to an intelligent positioning and marking robot and positioning and marking method for track circuit compensation capacitors. Background Technology
[0002] Before installing outdoor signaling equipment on railway sections, the kilometer coordinates must be verified and marked. After confirming that they are correct, the resonant capacitors, resonant units and other signaling equipment are installed according to the markings. The length marking work is roughly divided into two parts: one part is the length of the line to determine the location of the marking equipment; the other part is the marking.
[0003] Currently, the length measurement and marking work of the track circuit is done manually. The traditional track circuit compensation capacitor measurement and layout is done manually by measuring each track section with a meter stick. Based on the actual measured length, the number of ZPW-2000 frequency shift track circuit compensation capacitors is calculated according to the setting requirements, using step size and half step size. Then, the position of the compensation capacitors is manually marked according to the length. The working conditions are poor, the length measurement accuracy is not easy to guarantee, and the marking operation consumes a lot of time.
[0004] We are considering developing an automated industrial robot to automatically complete the length measurement and marking of each track section. Summary of the Invention

[0020] (5) Measurement and marking: The robot returns from the measuring end to mark the position of each compensation capacitor;
[0021] (6) When the robot is placed in the first or last position, it uses visual signals to start the rust removal spray gun to remove rust and clean it according to the measured position.

A track wheel drive device 7 is mounted on the inner side of the track wheel mounting frame 5. The track wheel drive device 7 is connected to the track wheels 6 and is driven by the drive motors 2. The telescopic linkage device 4 of the moving track wheel extends and retracts, driving the track wheel 6 to move on the track through the track wheel drive device 7; a housing 8 is installed at the front end of the traveling trolley 1, and a robotic arm 9 is installed on the outside of the housing 8.

The main control system is electrically connected to the control terminals of the drive motor 2, the track wheel drive device 7, the robotic arm drive device, the marking and drawing spray gun 10, and the rust removal spray gun 11, respectively.
[0033] The walking trolley 1 includes a base plate 12, with casters 13 installed on the bottom of the base plate 12, and a partition 14 fixed in the middle of the top of the base plate 12. The two drive motors 2 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the partition 14. A housing mounting plate 15 is fixed at the front end of the base plate 12, and the housing 8 is installed on the housing mounting plate 15.
[0034] Rotary shaft support blocks 16 are fixed on the front and rear ends and the middle part of the left and right sides of the partition 14, respectively. The rotating shaft 3 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft support blocks 16, and the rotating shaft 3 is arranged parallel to the partition 14.
[0035] The track wheel telescopic linkage device 4 includes four linkages. Linkage connecting blocks are fixed at the front and rear ends of the base plate 12 of the traveling trolley 1. One end of linkage one is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 3. One end of linkage two is hinged to the side of the linkage connecting block. The other end of linkage one is hinged to one end of linkage three. The other end of linkage two is hinged to one end of linkage four. The side of linkage two is hinged to the side of linkage three.

The rotating shaft 3 drives linkage one to rotate, thereby pushing or pulling linkage two, linkage three, and linkage four to achieve the extension or retraction of the track wheel 6.
[0036] The track wheel 6 includes a track drive wheel 17 and a track driven wheel 18, which are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the track wheel mounting frame 5. The track wheel drive device 7 is connected to the track drive wheel 17.
[0037] The track drive wheel 17 is equipped with a braking device.
[0038] A battery 22 for powering the robot is installed on the walking vehicle 1.
[0039] Multiple cameras 19 and millimeter-wave radar 20 are installed on the walking vehicle 1. The millimeter-wave radar is mainly used for environmental perception and safety assurance. A satellite positioning module is also installed. A human-machine interface and display screen are installed on the surface of the housing 8. A voice broadcast module is also installed inside the housing 8. Distance measuring devices are installed on the lower part of the track wheel mounting frame on both sides.
[0040] A positioning and marking method for a track circuit compensated capacitor intelligent positioning and marking robot includes the following steps:
[0041] (1) Move the robot to the starting position of the measurement track section, press the automatic extension control button or manually open the extension control device, drive motor 2 to drive the track wheel extension linkage device 4 to extend, so that the track wheels 6 on both sides are engaged on the track 21; adapt to the track gauge (standard gauge 1435mm) to ensure reliable contact between the double track wheels and the track, providing a mechanical basis for movement. Electric drive and positioning start, corresponding to the verification of the starting measurement position.
[0042] (2) Input the station or station-to-section information into the human-computer interaction interface. The information includes the name of the track section, the design length, the carrier frequency information, and the number of standard setting capacitors and capacitor models of the ZPW-2000 frequency shift track section compensation capacitors. Manually verify the name of the track section to be measured and the measurement starting point. After verification, the robot enters the waiting state. At the same time, the initial absolute coordinates of the current track section of the robot are obtained through the satellite positioning module.
[0043] (3) Measure the length of the track section. The measurement is carried out by measuring the double track separately. The measurement data is displayed in real time on the screen and broadcast by voice at 10-meter intervals.
[0044] (4) Based on the track section length or the predetermined signal equipment position, visually confirm the position of the equipment corresponding to the measurement end and perform manual verification; calculate the actual length of the track circuit section at both ends of the track section by using the line center algorithm based on the measured left and right rail lengths, and then subtract the distance between the insulation joints at both ends of the track section and the tuning matching unit to obtain the actual clearance distance of the track circuit compensation area; based on the actual clearance distance of the track circuit compensation area, and according to the ZPW-2000 frequency shift track circuit compensation capacitor standard, determine the number of track section compensation capacitors corresponding to the actual clearance distance of the track circuit compensation area; and then calculate the distance Δ between the two compensation capacitors based on the actual clearance distance of the track circuit compensation area and the number of compensation capacitors.
[0045] (5) Measurement, layout, marking, and spraying: The robot returns from the end of the measurement to the layout of each compensation capacitor position; the layout positions are arranged according to the Δ length, and the equipment at the two ends of the track section with the closest distance is arranged using the Δ / 2 length.
[0046] (6) When the robot is placed in the first or last position, it uses visual signals to start the rust removal spray gun to remove rust and clean it according to the measured position. After rust removal, the robot starts the marking and drawing spray gun to mark and spray the track name, capacitor sequence number and model.
[0047] The specific details of the dual-track independent measurement are as follows: The track wheel drive device 7 drives the robot to move synchronously along the dual tracks, and the distance measuring devices on both sides collect the distance traveled on the dual tracks in real time, which are L respectively. 左 and L 右 Because the orbits are parallel, theoretically L 左 =L 右 In reality, there is a slight deviation due to track deformation.
[0048] The line centering algorithm is as follows: L 中心 =(L 左 +L 右 ) / 2; L 中心 The track center length is used to eliminate double-rail deviation and ensure that the markings are aligned along the center line. The track center length is the actual length of the track circuit section at both ends of the track section's insulating joints.
[0049] In curved sections of railway tracks, the lengths of the left and right rails are not equal (the outer rail is longer than the inner rail). Directly using the length of either rail to calculate the placement of the compensation capacitors will introduce errors. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the lengths of both rails separately, and then use the length of the "track centerline" to represent the actual length of the track circuit section at both ends of the track segment's insulating joints.
[0050] This invention is based on four core modules: mechanical structure linkage, environmental perception and positioning, actuator operation, and overall control system coordination. It achieves automated positioning, rust removal, and marking of track circuit compensation capacitors. The specific workflow of this invention is as follows:
[0051] I. Switching between movement modes and preparing for track walking
[0052] The robot switches between "ground movement" and "rail walking" modes via the track wheel telescopic linkage device 4, preparing for operation on the track.
[0053] Initial state: The track wheel 6 is in the "retracted" state through the telescopic linkage device, and the foot rollers 13 at the bottom of the walking trolley 1 are in contact with the ground. It can be pushed on the ground by manual or auxiliary equipment, which makes it easy to transfer the robot to the vicinity of the target track.
[0054] Track docking: When it is necessary to enter the track for operation, the main control system sends a command to the drive motor 2. The drive motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate on the rotating shaft support block 16 (to ensure rotational stability). The connecting rod 1 fixed at the end of the rotating shaft 3 rotates with the rotating shaft 3. Through the hinge relationship with connecting rod 2, connecting rod 3 and connecting rod 4 (four-bar linkage structure), it pushes the track wheel mounting frame 5 to extend outward, so that the track wheel 6 (including the driving wheel and the driven wheel) is engaged on the track, completing the "track walking" mode switch.
[0055] II. Track Movement and Target Positioning
[0056] After switching to track mode, the robot moves along the track via the drive system;
[0057] Track travel drive: The main control system controls the track wheel drive device 7 to start, which drives the motor connected to the track drive wheel 17 to run. The track drive wheel 17 drives the driven wheel to rotate, realizing the robot's autonomous travel along the track. During the travel, the track driven wheel 18 assists in supporting the robot body to ensure the stability of the travel.
[0058] III. Fixing the working position and operating the actuator
[0059] Input the station or station-to-section information into the human-machine interface. The information includes the track section name, design length, carrier frequency information, and the number and model of the ZPW-2000 frequency shift track section compensation capacitors. Manually verify the track section name and measurement start point. After verification, the robot enters the waiting state. At the same time, the initial absolute coordinates of the robot's current track section are obtained through the satellite positioning module.
[0060] The length of the track section is measured using a dual-track separate measurement method. The measurement data is displayed digitally on the screen in real time and broadcast verbally at 10-meter intervals.
[0061] Based on the track section length or the predetermined signal equipment location, visually confirm the location of the equipment corresponding to the measurement end, and then manually verify it; based on the measured left and right rail lengths, perform a line center algorithm to calculate the actual length of the track circuit section at both ends of the track section insulation joint, and then subtract the distance between the insulation joint at both ends of the track section and the tuning matching unit to obtain the actual clearance distance of the track circuit compensation area; based on the actual clearance distance of the track circuit compensation area, according to the ZPW-2000 frequency shift track circuit compensation capacitor standard, determine the number of track section compensation capacitors corresponding to the actual clearance distance of the track circuit compensation area; and then calculate the distance Δ between the two compensation capacitors based on the actual clearance distance of the track circuit compensation area and the number of compensation capacitors.
[0062] The measurement is returned to the location of the compensation capacitor. The placement is based on a length of Δ, where Δ is the standard spacing. At the two ends of the track section where the equipment is closest, a length of Δ / 2 is used.
[0063] When the robot is positioned at the first or last position, it uses visual signals to measure the position and starts the rust removal spray gun 11 to remove rust and clean it. After rust removal, the robot starts the marking and drawing spray gun 10 to mark and spray the track name, capacitor sequence number and model.
[0064] When removing rust or spraying markings, the central control system sends a command to the braking device, which activates and locks the track drive wheel 17 to ensure that the robot does not shift during operation and to guarantee operational accuracy.
[0065] IV. Homework Completion and Follow-up Actions
[0066] After a single compensation capacitor operation is completed, the robot is reset via the central control system and enters the next cycle.
[0067] Actuator reset: The central control system controls the robotic arm drive device to make the robotic arm 9 drive the spray gun back to the initial position to avoid collision with the track components during movement.
[0068] Release the brakes and continue driving: The brake device is released, the track wheel drive device 7 is restarted, and the robot travels along the track to the next compensation capacitor position, repeating the "positioning-fixing-rust removal-marking" process.
[0069] Operation completion switching mode: After all target compensation capacitor operations are completed, the main control system controls the drive motor 2 to reverse, and drives the track wheel 6 to retract through the linkage mechanism. The robot switches back to the "ground movement" mode and is transferred to the storage area or the next operation track by the foot rollers 13.
[0070] This robot can measure one track segment or multiple track segments simultaneously. Before measurement, the system confirms whether to perform single or multiple segment measurements. Multi-segment measurement is a streamlined operation, eliminating the need to return to the deployment of capacitors for each track segment. For example, if 10 segments of a 10-kilometer track are measured at once, the system can check the starting and ending positions of each segment, store the data, and then return to the deployment site once the measurement is completed, greatly improving the efficiency of measurement and deployment.
[0071] The robot of this invention is designed with "ground rollers 13 (ground transfer) + track wheels 6 telescopic linkage (track operation)", which can quickly switch between the ground and the track without the need for additional hoisting equipment.
[0072] The track wheel telescopic linkage device 4 of the present invention can be adapted to railway tracks with different gauges (such as the standard gauge of conventional railways and high-speed railways) through linkage adjustment, without the need for customized equipment for different tracks, and has strong versatility.
[0073] The traditional process requires manual measurement of track length (using a ruler or laser rangefinder), manual calculation of capacitor position (referencing the ZPW-2000 standard), manual rust removal (using sandpaper or a small rust remover), and manual marking (using a paint can). The entire process requires at least 2-3 people, resulting in low efficiency and large errors.
[0074] The robot of this invention automates the entire process of "measurement → calculation → rust removal → marking": only one person is needed to complete parameter input and endpoint verification, and voice broadcasts at 10-meter intervals eliminate the need for human supervision. The operation time for a single section can be reduced by more than 50%, while avoiding subjective errors caused by human operation.
[0075] For the ZPW-2000 frequency shift track circuit widely used in the railway industry, the system has a built-in "compensation capacitor placement algorithm" that can automatically load standard parameters without the need for manual consultation of industry specifications. This avoids placement errors caused by human misunderstanding and ensures that the operation meets the technical requirements of the railway signaling system.
[0076] This invention replaces traditional manual operations with "automation, precision, and standardization." Through an integrated design of "walking adaptation + industry algorithm + coordinated execution," it solves the core pain points of "low efficiency, large error, high labor intensity, and poor standardization" in track compensation capacitor marking. It is particularly suitable for the railway industry's high precision and high reliability requirements for signal systems and has strong field application value.
