AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the detection of electronic switchboards relies on outdoor vehicle routing or manual on-site routing operations, and it is impossible to achieve remote detection in a safe indoor environment. This results in the detection operation being exposed to outdoor risks and the detection of branch lines and sections with less traffic being delayed.
The indoor detection mode is switched by linking the switching mechanism and the display mechanism. The switching mechanism switches the detection mode of the electronic switch board, and the display mechanism provides feedback on the status information to determine the fault. Combined with PLC automatic control, timed cyclic detection is realized.
It enables remote testing of electronic switchboards in a safe indoor environment, reducing the risks of outdoor operations, shortening the testing time from 2 hours to 2 minutes, and improving testing efficiency and accuracy.

This type of track circuit has the characteristics of strong environmental interference resistance, high shunt sensitivity, and less routine maintenance, and has lightning protection, strong current impact protection and mixed line protection functions.
[0003] In the prior art, the detection of the core component of the safety protection type DC electronic switch type track circuit, the electronic switch board, is mainly realized by two ways: one is vehicle shunt detection, when the train occupies the track section, the detection power supply passes through the negative electric circuit to break through the B1 (IN2AP9) diode in the electronic switch board, so as to detect whether the electronic switch board has a short circuit fault; the second is manual shunt detection, when there is no train occupation, point inspection personnel (2 people in a group) or maintenance personnel (5-8 people in a group) are arranged to the line box outside the open track, and the positive and negative electricity of the electronic switch board in the shunt track surface or shunt box is used to complete the fault detection. Both detection methods rely on the characteristics of the protection power supply (GZ20V, GF20V) having voltage supply when the electronic switch board is short-circuited, and the fault is judged by the on-off of the detection circuit.
[0004] The most critical deficiency in the prior art is that the detection of the electronic switch board completely depends on the vehicle shunt or manual field shunt operation in the outdoor scene, which cannot realize remote detection in the indoor safe environment, resulting in that the detection operation must be exposed to the complex risk environment of outdoor vehicle injury, iron burn, coal gas poisoning, etc., and the detection of branch lines and less train sections is not timely, which is difficult to balance the safety and efficiency of detection. In view of this, we propose a method and device for detecting a DC track circuit electronic switch board. SUMMARY

Embodiments
[0021] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 - the accompanying drawings Figure 4 The embodiments of the present application provide a method and device for detecting a DC track circuit electronic switch board, comprising the following steps: S1, track section state confirmation step: confirming that there is no train occupying in the track section corresponding to the DC track circuit; In the S1, the way of confirming that there is no train occupying in the track section is: observing the attracted state of the indoor track relay, and if the track relay keeps attracting, it is determined that there is no train occupying in the track section; For example, taking the 801 track section (mainly used for transferring the molten iron tank car, the track length is 150m) in the steelmaking area of a metallurgical steel plant as an example, after the inspection personnel enter the indoor relay room, the track relay (model JWXC-1700) corresponding to the 801 section is positioned. First, observe the physical state of the relay: the relay armature keeps attracting state, and there is no drooping or shaking; at the same time, check the green state indicating lamp matched with the relay panel, and the indicating lamp keeps lighting and has no flicker. If the inspection personnel have doubts about the state (such as abnormal brightness of the indicating lamp), immediately contact the on-site shunting operator through the indoor dispatching telephone, confirm that there is no molten iron tank car or other operating vehicle occupying in the 801 section, and finally determine that there is no train occupying in the 801 track section, and the next step of detection can be entered; S2, detection mode switching step: based on the confirmation result of the track section without train occupying in the S1, operating the switching mechanism arranged in the indoor to make the switching mechanism disconnect the normally closed contact and connect the normally open contact, switch the detection mode of the DC track circuit electronic switch board from the outdoor detection mode to the indoor detection mode, and connect the indoor detection loop; The conversion mechanism is a button switch in S2. The specific process of operating the button switch is: an external force is applied to the button switch, so that the normally closed contact of the button switch is first disconnected, and then the normally open contact of the button switch is connected by continuously applying the external force. In S2, the circuit path of the indoor detection circuit is: the positive pole of the protection power supply of the DC track circuit→the triode in the electronic switch board→the cable core wire→the normally open contact of the conversion mechanism→the display mechanism→the negative pole of the protection power supply, forming a complete current path. According to the working principle of the electronic switch board, if Q1, Q2 and Q3 switches are short-circuited, the protection power supply (GZ20V, GF20V) has a voltage supply. One path flows from Q1 to the GK cable core wire to the indoor track relay coil 4; one path flows to B1 (IN2AP9), Q3, the negative rail voltage (GWF), the cable core wire, to the negative rail transformer box (connected to the GKF terminal of the indoor relay), thereby realizing detection. For example, based on the "801 section no vehicle occupancy" result confirmed in S1, the point inspection personnel find the conversion mechanism corresponding to the 801 section in the indoor distribution cabinet, which is the button switch MK1 (identified as "801-MK"). When operating, a horizontal right external force (force value about 5-8N) is applied to MK1 with fingers: first, the "first gear" feedback inside the switch is felt, at this time the normally closed contact (connected to the outdoor detection circuit) of MK1 is disconnected, and the outdoor detection mode depending on the vehicle branch is paused; continue to apply the same external force to the "second gear" and hear the "click" locking sound, the normally open contact of MK1 is connected, and the indoor detection circuit is formally connected. The specific current path of the circuit is: the positive pole of the protection power supply GZ20V of the DC track circuit→the Q1 triode in the 801 section outdoor electronic switch board→the 1.5mm² copper core GK1 cable core wire→the normally open contact of MK1→the display mechanism (LD1 light emitting diode+R5-1 current limiting resistor) corresponding to the 801 section→the negative pole of the protection power supply GF20V, forming a complete current path. At this time, if there is a short circuit in Q1, Q2 and Q3 of the 801 section electronic switch board, the protection power supply GZ20V will continuously supply voltage. In addition to the above indoor detection circuit, another path of voltage will flow from Q1 to the GK1 cable core wire to the indoor track relay coil 4, and at the same time, another path will flow to the B1 (IN2AP9) diode, Q3 triode and negative rail voltage GWF in the outdoor electronic switch board, which is connected to the negative rail transformer box (connected to the GKF terminal of the indoor relay) through another cable core wire, providing a circuit basis for subsequent fault judgment.
[0022] S3, fault state judgment step: based on the indoor detection circuit connected in S2, the state information of the display mechanism is obtained through the display mechanism connected in series with the conversion mechanism in the indoor detection circuit, and the short circuit condition of the triode in the DC track circuit electronic switch board is judged according to the state information of the display mechanism; The display mechanism includes a light emitting diode and a current limiting resistor connected in series with the light emitting diode, and the current limiting resistor is arranged between the light emitting diode and the negative electrode of the protection power supply, and the specific manner of judging the state information of the display mechanism is that if the light emitting diode is in the lighting state, it is judged that the triode in the DC track circuit electronic switch board exists short circuit; if the light emitting diode is in the extinguishing state, it is judged that the triode in the DC track circuit electronic switch board does not exist short circuit; For example, based on the S2 on 801 section indoor detection loop, the point inspection personnel focus on the corresponding display mechanism: the display mechanism is composed of a red highlight LD1 light emitting diode and a 1kΩ R5-1 current limiting resistor connected in series, and the R5-1 is fixed between the LD1 and the negative electrode of the protection power supply GF20V. The point inspection personnel first observe the LD1 state: if the LD1 is continuously lit (the brightness is clear and visible, and there is no bright and dark flicker), combined with the working principle of the electronic switch board, it is judged that at least one of Q1, Q2 and Q3 triodes in the 801 section electronic switch board exists short circuit (at this time, the protection power supply voltage passes through the short-circuit triode to construct the indoor detection loop, and drives the LD1 to emit light); if the LD1 remains in the extinguishing state, the multimeter (the position is adjusted to the DC 20mA position) is connected in series to detect the loop, and the measurement result shows that the current is 0mA, it is judged that Q1, Q2 and Q3 triodes in the 801 section electronic switch board have no short circuit, and the switch board state is normal. For example, in this detection, the LD1 is continuously lit, and the subsequent disassembly of the outdoor electronic switch board verifies that the collector and the emitter of the Q1 triode are short-circuited due to high temperature, which is consistent with the indoor detection result; S4, detection mode reset step: based on the fault state judgment result of S3, the operation conversion mechanism is operated to make the conversion mechanism disconnect the normally open contact and connect the normally closed contact, and the detection mode of the DC track circuit electronic switch board is switched from the indoor detection mode to the outdoor detection mode, and the indoor detection loop is disconnected; In the S4, the specific process of operating the conversion mechanism is that a reverse external force is applied to the conversion mechanism to make the normally open contact of the conversion mechanism disconnect first, and then the reverse external force is continuously applied to make the normally closed contact of the conversion mechanism connect later, and in the S4, after the conversion mechanism is reset, the normally closed contact of the conversion mechanism needs to be kept in the connected state until the next detection operation is started; For example, based on the S3 confirmation of the "801 section electronic switchboard Q1 short circuit" judgment result, the point inspector starts to operate MK1 to perform reset. When operating, a horizontal left reverse external force (force value about 5-8N) is applied to MK1: first, the "first gear" feedback is felt, the normally open contact of MK1 is disconnected, and the indoor detection circuit is cut off; continue to apply the reverse external force to the "second gear" and lock it, the normally closed contact of MK1 is reconnected, and the detection mode of the 801 section electronic switchboard is switched from the indoor detection mode back to the outdoor detection mode (restoring the vehicle shunt detection function). After resetting, the point inspector fixes the MK1 gear through the spring buckle on the distribution cabinet panel to ensure that the normally closed contact of MK1 remains connected, until the next 801 section detection operation at 9 o'clock the next day. During this period, if a train enters the 801 section, the outdoor detection mode can normally pass through the vehicle shunt to achieve fault detection, without affecting the normal operation of the track circuit; S5, reset state confirmation step: based on the detection mode reset operation of S4, the state information of the display mechanism is used to confirm that the indoor detection circuit has been disconnected; In S5, the specific way to confirm that the indoor detection circuit has been disconnected is: if the light-emitting diode in the display mechanism is in an extinguished state, it is determined that the indoor detection circuit has been disconnected; if the light-emitting diode is in a lit state, the detection mode reset step of S4 is re-executed; For example, based on the reset operation of MK1 in S4, the point inspector observes the LD1 state corresponding to the 801 section again: if LD1 remains extinguished, it is determined that the 801 section indoor detection circuit has been disconnected; if LD1 is still in a lit state, it means that the normally closed contact of MK1 is not reliably connected or the normally open contact is not completely disconnected, and the reset operation of S4 needs to be re-executed. For example, after this reset, the point inspector finds that LD1 is still slightly lit, immediately checks the gear of MK1, finds that it is not completely locked to the "normally closed gear", re-applies a horizontal left reverse external force to MK1, ensures that the normally open contact is completely disconnected and the normally closed contact is tightly connected, and then LD1 is extinguished, finally confirming that the 801 section indoor detection circuit has been disconnected, and recording "801 section reset normal, indoor detection circuit disconnected" in the "electronic switchboard detection record table".

7. The device for detecting a DC track circuit electronic switchboard according to claim 1, characterized in that, It includes a conversion mechanism and a display mechanism, which cooperate to form an indoor detection circuit; The conversion mechanism is located indoors and is electrically connected to the protection power supply of the DC track circuit and the GK cable core wire of the electronic switch board. It is used to switch the outdoor detection mode and indoor detection mode of the DC track circuit electronic switch board. The outdoor detection mode relies on the vehicle occupying the track section or the manual track surface, and the positive and negative electrical current of the electronic switch board in the junction box to achieve detection. The display mechanism is connected in series with the conversion mechanism and electrically connected to the negative terminal of the protective power supply or the negative terminal of the auxiliary power supply. It is used to present the short circuit state of the electronic switch board and to provide feedback on whether the indoor detection circuit is conducting through its own state changes. The indoor detection circuit consists of a conversion mechanism, a display mechanism, a protective power supply, and an electronic switch board. This indoor detection circuit is independent of the original working circuit of the DC track circuit and does not affect the original working logic of the DC track circuit in the state of idle, occupied, or faulty sections.
8. The device for detecting a DC track circuit electronic switchboard according to claim 7, characterized in that, The switching mechanism is a toggle switch MK, which is installed in the indoor distribution cabinet. Each DC track circuit electronic switch board is equipped with a corresponding toggle switch MK. The toggle switch MK has normally closed contacts and normally open contacts. Under normal conditions, the normally closed contacts are kept in the ON state, and the normally open contacts are kept in the OFF state. At this time, the toggle switch MK is electrically connected to the outdoor detection circuit of the DC track circuit to ensure the normal operation of the outdoor detection mode. When indoor detection is required, the toggle switch MK is manually operated to open the normally closed contacts and close the normally open contacts, thereby switching the detection mode from the outdoor detection mode to the indoor detection mode and connecting the indoor detection circuit composed of the switching mechanism, display mechanism, protective power supply and electronic switch board.
9. The device for detecting a DC track circuit electronic switchboard according to claim 7, characterized in that, The display mechanism includes a light-emitting diode (LED) LD and a current-limiting resistor R5. The LED LD and the current-limiting resistor R5 are connected in series to form a series assembly, and each DC track circuit electronic switch board is equipped with one of these series assemblies. One end of the series assembly is electrically connected to the end of the conversion mechanism away from the GK cable core, and the other end is electrically connected to the negative terminal GF26V of the auxiliary power supply. The current-limiting resistor R5 is placed between the LED LD and the negative terminal GF26V of the auxiliary power supply, with a resistance of 1kΩ and a power of 1 / 4W, and is used to limit the current in the indoor detection circuit to avoid excessive current damage. The faulty LED (LD) is a red high-brightness LED with a label next to it, indicating the track section number to which the electronic switch board belongs. The protection power supply of the DC track circuit includes a positive terminal GZ20V and a negative terminal GF20V. The current path when the indoor detection circuit is conducting is as follows: protection power supply positive terminal GZ20V → Q1 transistor of the electronic switch board → GK cable core → normally open contact of the conversion mechanism → current limiting resistor R5 of the display mechanism → LED (LD) of the display mechanism → auxiliary power supply negative terminal GF26V, forming a complete current path.
10. The device for detecting a DC track circuit electronic switchboard according to claim 8, characterized in that, When automatic timed cyclic detection is required, the switching mechanism is set as a programmable contact of a PLC programmable logic controller. The programmable contact is electrically connected to the protection power supply of the DC track circuit, the GK cable core of the electronic switch board, and the display mechanism. The programmable contact realizes on-off control through a preset program, and performs timed cyclic scanning switching according to a set time interval, switching between outdoor detection mode and indoor detection mode. Uninterrupted detection of the electronic switch board can be achieved without manual operation. When the DC track circuit contains multiple electronic switch boards, the switching mechanism and display mechanism corresponding to each electronic switch board are independently configured, each forming an indoor detection circuit for the corresponding electronic switch board. The indoor detection circuits do not interfere with each other, and each electronic switch board is detected independently without affecting the detection results.
