[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0045] Railways have developed rapidly under the theme of "heavy freight load and high-speed passenger transport", and heavy-load transport technology has been recognized as the direction of the development of railway freight transport. However, with the increase of freight train length, load and speed, the operation of long and heavy-load trains is facing severe braking problems. Although the use of train electric air brake system effectively solves the problem of traditional freight car brake system relying on compressed air to transmit brake command, the low brake wave speed and poor synchronization of each vehicle braking easily lead to excessive longitudinal impulse of the train, and once the train brake system fails, the above train braking method directly adopts the same safety-oriented strategy, and there is no differentiated solution for different fault problems of the train brake system, which affects the operation efficiency of the train.

[0046] Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the above train brake system cannot provide differentiated solutions when different fault problems occur, affecting the operation efficiency of the train, a train brake system fault resolution method is provided, as shown in Figure 1 The method is applied to a terminal as an example for illustration, including the following steps S102 to S108. Among them:

[0047] Step S102, obtaining the communication state between each subsystem of the target train brake system, and the device operation parameters of each subsystem; the subsystems include the locomotive brake control unit, the locomotive brake display screen, the tail device unit and the vehicle brake control unit.

[0048] Among them, the subsystem is a core component unit with independent function in the target train brake system, and is the basic object of data acquisition and fault diagnosis, which can include the locomotive brake control unit, the locomotive brake display screen, the tail device unit and the vehicle brake control unit.

[0049] Exemplarily, the locomotive brake control unit can be used to receive brake operation instructions, calculate brake demand, and send brake control signals to other subsystems; the locomotive brake display screen can display real-time operation data, communication status, and fault alarm information of each subsystem; the tail device unit can be installed at the tail of the train to collect data such as train tail brake pipe pressure and air pressure leakage; the vehicle brake control unit can be used to receive instructions from the locomotive brake control unit to control the inflation or exhaust of the brake cylinder in the vehicle compartment, thereby realizing the braking action of the vehicle.

[0050] In step S104, the fault state of the target train braking system is determined based on the communication status between each subsystem and the device operation parameters of each subsystem.

[0051] Among them, the communication status is the real-time situation of data transmission between each subsystem, which is used to judge whether the target train braking system has information interaction abnormality; the device operation parameter is the real-time working data of each subsystem, and the key parameters of different subsystems are different; the fault state is the abnormal type of the target train braking system obtained by analyzing the communication status and the device operation parameter, which can include the fault-free state and the fault state.

[0052] Exemplarily, the communication status can include communication connectivity: whether a stable data link can be established between each subsystem, such as whether the locomotive brake control unit and the vehicle brake control unit are disconnected or offline; data transmission integrity: whether the transmitted data is complete without loss, for example, whether the pressure data returned by the tail device unit has byte missing; communication delay: the time difference of data transmission between each subsystem, such as whether the delay of sending operation instructions from the display screen to the control unit exceeds the preset threshold.

[0053] Further, the device operation parameter can include the instruction output voltage corresponding to the locomotive brake control unit, the internal processor temperature, and the brake calculation period; the screen display response speed corresponding to the locomotive brake display screen, and the data refresh frequency; the real-time pressure of the brake pipe corresponding to the tail device unit, the pressure change rate, and the battery remaining capacity; the brake cylinder pressure corresponding to the vehicle brake control unit.

[0054] In step S106, in the case that the fault state indicates that there is a fault, the influence degree type of the target train braking system is determined based on the fault state.

[0055] Among them, the existence of fault means that the target train braking system has at least one abnormality, such as communication disconnection or continuous decrease of tail device pressure; the influence degree type is the fault severity level divided according to the fault state in the case that the target train braking system has a fault.

[0056] Exemplarily, the influence degree type can be divided into a low influence type, only affecting data monitoring, without affecting brake execution; a medium influence type, locally affecting brake function, without endangering driving safety; and a high influence type, directly threatening brake safety, requiring emergency disposal.

[0057] Step S108, determining an adapted fault solution based on the influence degree type.

[0058] The fault solution is a specific disposal measure formulated for different influence degree types, and needs to ensure adaptability.

[0059] Exemplarily, the low influence type can not interrupt driving, only record fault information, and repair the fault after the train arrives at the terminal station; the medium influence type can be locally repaired without interrupting parking, such as adjusting the parameters of the deviated vehicle brake control unit through the remote operation and maintenance system; and the high influence type needs to be urgently parked and on-site repaired.

[0060] In the above train brake system fault solution method, first, the communication state between each subsystem of the target train brake system and the device operation parameter of each subsystem are acquired; the subsystems include the locomotive brake control unit, the locomotive brake display screen, the tail device unit and the vehicle brake control unit; then, based on the communication state between each subsystem and the device operation parameter of each subsystem, the fault state of the target train brake system is determined; then, in the case that the fault state represents that there is a fault, the influence degree type for the operation of the target train brake system is determined based on the fault state; finally, the adapted fault solution is determined based on the influence degree type. Therefore, through real-time acquisition of the communication state and operation parameter of each subsystem, the above process can timely acquire the communication interruption of the locomotive brake control unit and the vehicle brake control unit, the abnormal pressure parameter of the tail device unit and other problems, determine the fault state of the target train brake system, and then determine the influence degree type based on the fault state, determine the corresponding solution according to the influence degree type, and propose a differentiated solution for different fault problems of the train brake system, reduce the cost, shorten the train downtime cycle, and reduce the transportation delay, that is, by monitoring the influence degree type corresponding to the fault state of the train brake system, the running efficiency of the train is improved.

[0061] In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 Step S106, determining the influence degree type for the operation of the target train brake system based on the fault state, includes:

[0062] Step S202, in the case that the fault state represents that the target train brake system is in a control network failure fault, determining that the influence degree type for the operation of the target train brake system is a first fault type.

[0063] Step S204, in the case that the fault state indicates that the target train braking system is in an emergency braking failure, it is determined that the influence degree type for the operation of the target train braking system is a second fault type;

[0064] Step S206, in the case that the fault state indicates that the target train braking system is in a penalty full braking failure, it is determined that the influence degree type for the operation of the target train braking system is a third fault type;

[0065] Step S208, in the case that the fault state indicates that the target train braking system is in a prompt information generation failure, it is determined that the influence degree type for the operation of the target train braking system is a fourth fault type.

[0066] Among them, the control network failure fault is that the core data transmission network between each subsystem in the target train braking system is interrupted or paralyzed, resulting in that the control command cannot be normally interacted, for example, the communication link is completely invalid, including that the bus link between the locomotive and the vehicle is disconnected, the network interface hardware of the control unit is damaged, the data transmission is completely blocked due to network protocol conflict, so that the braking command cannot be transmitted, and the braking system loses unified control; the emergency braking failure is that the emergency braking function triggered by the target train braking system when encountering a sudden danger cannot be normally started; the penalty full braking failure is that the target train braking system automatically triggers a punitive full train braking due to violation of the preset operation rules; the prompt information generation failure is that the target train braking system cannot normally generate and display prompt alarm information when an abnormality is monitored.

[0067] In the embodiment, by classifying the influence degree type of the operation of the target train braking system, the serious fault (such as the first fault type) and the slight fault (such as the fourth fault type) can be quickly distinguished, the resource waste caused by disposing all fault types according to the same standard is avoided, the serious fault is ensured to be preferentially handled in an emergency, the fault handling efficiency is improved, and the resource loss is reduced.

[0068] In one embodiment, step S108 determines the adapted fault solution based on the influence degree type, and further includes:

[0069] In the case that the influence degree type is at least one of the first fault type and the second fault type, it is determined that the adapted fault solution is to drive the target train braking system to trigger a train emergency braking instruction;

[0070] In the case that the influence degree type is the third fault type, it is determined that the adapted fault solution is to drive the target train braking system to trigger a train penalty braking instruction;

[0071] In the case that the influence degree type is the fourth fault type, it is determined that the adapted fault solution is to drive the target train braking system to trigger an alarm information sending instruction.

[0072] The first fault type is a control network failure fault of the target train braking system: the data transmission between each subsystem is completely interrupted, the control command cannot be issued, the state data cannot be returned, and the braking system loses the control ability. The corresponding fault solution is to trigger a train emergency braking command to force the train to stop, thereby avoiding serious accidents such as rear-end collision and derailment caused by the inability to control braking. The second fault type is an emergency braking fault of the target train braking system: the emergency braking function cannot be triggered, or cannot generate effective braking force after being triggered, so that the train cannot be stopped in an emergency. The corresponding fault solution is to forcibly start the braking function through a backup control path.

[0073] Further, the third fault type is a penalty full braking fault of the target train braking system: the train is forced to stop without reason. The corresponding fault solution is to trigger a train penalty braking command to restore normal operation of the target train braking system. The fourth fault type is a prompt information generation fault of the target train braking system: when a slight abnormality is monitored, the system cannot generate prompt information through a display screen, alarm sound, or the like, so that the operation and maintenance personnel cannot timely detect potential small faults. The corresponding fault solution is to trigger an alarm information sending command.

[0074] In this embodiment, the fault type corresponds to the solution, which provides a scientific and efficient response logic for fault handling of the target train braking system. For the first and second fault types, an emergency braking command is directly triggered to avoid major safety accidents such as rear-end collision and derailment. For the third fault type, a penalty braking command is adapted to constrain the braking to correct the violation risk and avoid operation delay caused by excessive braking. For the fourth fault type, only an alarm information sending command is triggered without interrupting the normal operation of the train, which ensures that fault information is timely delivered to the operation and maintenance personnel and avoids unnecessary parking and maintenance, thereby reducing the impact on transportation efficiency.

[0075] Further, in one embodiment, after determining that the adapted fault solution is to drive the target train braking system to trigger a train emergency braking command, the method further includes:

[0076] The train emergency braking command is synchronously sent to the vehicle braking control unit and the tail equipment unit in the subsystem through a train bus. The train emergency braking command is used to control the vehicle braking control unit and the tail equipment unit to execute emergency braking on each train car correspondingly.

[0077] The train bus is a channel connecting each subsystem of the train and realizing synchronous transmission of commands and data. The train emergency braking command is to make the train car stop in the shortest distance through the strongest braking force, and the train car in the target train braking system is forcibly braked in a short time after the command is triggered.

[0078] In this embodiment, by synchronously sending the train emergency braking instruction to the vehicle brake control unit and the tail equipment unit, the delay difference of decentralized transmission is avoided, the braking response time is shortened, and the problems of train jolt and derailment caused by over-braking or under-braking of some carriages are avoided.

[0079] In one exemplary embodiment, after determining that the adapted fault resolution is to drive the target train braking system to trigger a train penalty braking instruction, further comprising:

[0080] Synchronously sending the train penalty braking instruction to the locomotive brake control unit in the subsystem through the train bus; the train penalty braking instruction is used to instruct the locomotive brake control unit to control the train pipe of each train carriage to perform pressure reduction operation at a preset rate, and to monitor the pressure change of the train pipe in real time to control the corresponding each train carriage to perform penalty braking.

[0081] Wherein, the braking strength of the train penalty braking instruction is lower than that of the train emergency braking instruction, which can make the train carriages in the target train braking system decelerate smoothly to stop; the train pipe pressure reduction operation triggers the carriage brake cylinder to inflate and push the brake shoe to contact the wheel by reducing the compressed air pressure in the train pipe; pressure reduction at a preset rate can avoid excessive pressure reduction that causes excessive train impact, or slow pressure reduction that affects braking efficiency; pressure change monitoring is a process of real-time collection and analysis of the pressure in the train pipe by the locomotive brake control unit, which can be used to verify whether the train pipe pressure reduction meets the preset requirements, and if there is an abnormal pressure reduction, the control strategy can be adjusted in time to avoid brake failure or excessive braking due to pressure problems.

[0082] In this embodiment, by controlling the train pipe pressure reduction at a preset rate, the braking demand can be accurately matched, avoiding excessive pressure reduction that causes train impact, and preventing slow pressure reduction that causes braking lag; real-time monitoring of the train pipe pressure change can dynamically verify whether the pressure reduction operation meets the expectation, and once there is a problem such as pressure leakage or abnormal pressure reduction, it can be found and adjusted in time, effectively avoiding brake failure or insufficient braking force caused by brake system failure, and reducing the risk of derailment and rear-end collision caused by brake out of control.

[0083] Further, in one embodiment, after determining that the adapted fault resolution is to drive the target train braking system to trigger an alarm information sending instruction, further comprising:

[0084] Obtaining the fault location and the associated equipment number of the fourth fault type; generating an alarm signal based on the fault location and the associated equipment number, and sending the alarm signal to the locomotive brake display screen.

[0085] Wherein, the alarm information sending instruction is an information notification instruction for low-risk faults, which is used to deliver fault information without triggering any braking action, and only sends fault details to the designated recipient through the data transmission channel.

[0086] In this embodiment, by acquiring the fault position and the associated equipment number of the fourth fault type, the problem of knowing only the fault type but being unable to locate is avoided, which can be used to quickly lock the fault occurrence point and the related equipment, reduce the troubleshooting time; based on the key information, an alarm signal is generated and sent to the locomotive brake display screen, which can enable the monitoring personnel to intuitively obtain the fault related information through the display screen, improve the fault response efficiency, and ensure the stable operation of the target locomotive brake system.

[0087] The present application provides a fault solving method of a train brake system. In order to better understand the process of the above-mentioned fault solving method of the train brake system, the specific process of a fault solving method of a train brake system of the present application is described in detail below, including the following steps: Figure 3 The specific process of a fault solving method of a train brake system of the present application is described in detail below, including the following steps:

[0088] Step S302, monitoring whether the target train brake system has a fault.

[0089] Step S304, in the case that the target train brake system has a fault, classifying the fault according to the fault severity to obtain a plurality of fault types.

[0090] Among them, the train electric air brake system fault can be divided into four categories; the first fault type: the fault causing the entire train electric air brake system (target train brake system) control network to fail; the second fault type: the fault causing the entire train to apply emergency braking; the third fault type: the fault causing the entire train to produce a penalty full brake; the fourth fault type: the fault of multiple vehicle brake control units failing (only fault prompt, no penalty brake).

[0091] Exemplarily, the first fault type can be that a train electric pneumatic braking system network device sends an uncontrollable signal; the second fault type can be that two vehicle braking control units or a tail device (a tail device unit) report a serious loss fault (loss of a train electric pneumatic braking system locomotive control unit beacon or detection of train pipe pressure lower than 0.56 times a constant pressure) within 5s, and loss of a tail device beacon in a running mode; the third fault type can be that a proportion of available vehicle braking control units to total vehicle braking control units of the train is less than a first threshold value, train bus voltage is low (less than DC 100v, Direct Current), and the proportion of available vehicle braking control units to total vehicle braking control units of the train is less than 90%, the tail reports low battery power, the train speed exceeds 30km / h in a shunting mode, and the tail reports a serious loss (loss of a train electric pneumatic braking system locomotive control unit beacon for 3s or train pipe pressure lower than 0.56 times a train pipe constant pressure); and the fourth fault type can be that the proportion of available vehicle braking control units to total vehicle braking control units of the train is less than a second threshold value, the proportion of available vehicle braking control units to total vehicle braking control units of the train is less than a third threshold value, a vehicle braking control unit is offline or is cut off, battery power of the vehicle braking control unit is lower than a fourth threshold value, the tail device detects that train bus voltage is lower than a fifth threshold value, the tail reports that train pipe pressure is lower than a sixth threshold value, and a train electric pneumatic braking system bus power supply detects other failure faults.

[0092] In step S306, different fault resolution solutions are taken for different fault types.

[0093] The first fault type is that, due to uncontrollable signals sent by a train electric pneumatic braking system network device, communication between system network devices fails, triggering emergency braking of the whole train; the second fault type is that the train electric pneumatic braking system network device reports a system serious loss, triggering emergency braking of the whole train; the third fault type causes the train to apply a punitive full brake; and the fourth fault type does not cause the train to apply emergency braking or punitive braking, but only sends a warning information to prompt the driver.

[0094] In the above embodiment, the fault monitoring logic can monitor key subsystems, components, communication, etc. of a train electric pneumatic braking control system in real time, enabling the driver and crew to master the state of the heavy-haul train electric pneumatic braking control system in real time; according to the fault severity, the real-time monitored faults are classified through a fault classification strategy, which is conducive to the implementation of a safety-oriented classification; different safety-oriented strategies are implemented for different types of faults, which can guarantee the safety and reliability of the train electric pneumatic braking system used on heavy-haul trains.

[0095] More specifically, in one embodiment, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a heavy train electric air brake system failure monitoring and safety-oriented control flowchart is provided, first, it is judged whether the communication between the locomotive brake control unit is normal, if the communication is abnormal, the train electric air brake system will apply the punishment full brake; it is judged whether the communication between the locomotive brake display screen is normal, if the communication is abnormal, the train electric air brake system will apply the punishment full brake; it is judged whether the locomotive brake display screen is normal, if it is abnormal, the train electric air brake system will apply the punishment full brake; it is judged whether the locomotive brake control unit sends non-train electric air brake system failure, if the related failure is sent, the train electric air brake system will apply the punishment full brake.
