[0049] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] The automatic rotation control system for high-speed train seats of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a central control system 101, a seat status detection module 102, a rotary actuator 103, and a human-machine interaction control module 104; the seat status detection module 102, the rotary actuator 103, and the human-machine interaction control module 104 are respectively connected to the central control system 101 for control.
[0051] Specifically:

[0053] Under normal circumstances, the main controller in the central control system 101 operates to realize the functions of the central control system 101.
[0054] When the main controller fails, the central control system 101 automatically switches to the backup controller, which takes over the main controller's role. The dual-redundant controller design allows for real-time data synchronization and features fault self-diagnosis and automatic switching capabilities.
[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the seat status detection module 102 includes a high-precision piezoresistive sensor 301 installed in the seat base 407, which is used to detect the seat occupancy status in real time. The seat occupancy status data is uploaded to the human-machine interaction control module 104 in real time via the CAN bus. The high-precision piezoresistive sensor 301 has a range of 0-300kg and an accuracy of ±0.5%.
[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rotary actuator 103 comprises, in sequence, a servo motor 401, a gear box 402, a flexible gear harmonic reducer 403, and an angular contact bearing 405; the top end of the angular contact bearing 405 is arranged in a V-shaped sliding groove 406 below a seat base 407, and a Hall sensor 404 is arranged on the angular contact bearing 405. The rotary actuator 103 is connected to a 380V three-phase AC power supply 302 arranged near the floor.
[0057] The servo motor 401 is used to combine the gear box 402 and the flexible gear harmonic reducer 403 for accurate position control; the gear box 402 is used to optimize the gear transmission ratio and reduce the starting torque; the flexible gear harmonic reducer 403 is used to generate a controllable elastic deformation wave by using a flexible gear to cause the relative tooth error between the rigid gear and the flexible gear to transmit power and motion.
[0058] The angular contact bearing 405 is used to drive the seat base 407 above the V-shaped sliding groove 406 to rotate through chain transmission by using the power transmitted by the flexible gear harmonic reducer 403; the Hall sensor 404 is used to monitor the rotation angle, position, and other parameters of the seat in real time and to feed back the rotation angle in real time, so that the closed-loop control accuracy is below ±0.3°.
[0059] The V-shaped sliding groove 406 is used to cooperate with the angular contact bearing 405 to improve the rotation stability to realize the accurate 180° rotation of the seat.
[0060] In this embodiment, the gear transmission ratio of the gear box 402 is 1:25.

[0063] In this embodiment, the accuracy of the Hall sensor 404 is ±0.1°.
[0064] In this embodiment, the rotation angular velocity of the angular contact bearing 405 is 5° / s.
[0065] The high-definition capacitive touch HMI display screen is used in the human-computer interaction control module 104 to display the real-time seat state and rotation progress; the seat state is displayed in red (occupied), green (completed), and white (idle); the real-time seat state and rotation progress are visualized in real time, which is convenient for the driver to operate.
[0066] In the human-computer interaction control module 104, the seat rotation control modes that can be selected according to the needs include: full-row control mode, single-carriage mode, and single-row mode.
[0067] In the full-column control mode, all the car seats are rotated synchronously. In the single-carriage control mode, the selected single-carriage target seat is rotated. In the single-row control mode, the selected single-row seat is adjusted.
[0068] The control method of the high-speed train seat automatic rotation control system comprises the following steps:
[0069] Step 1: End change mode activation: control the vehicle to enter the end change mode;
[0070] Specifically,
[0071] When the train arrives at the terminal station, the driver goes to the other end of the cab, inserts the vehicle key and rotates it to the "ON" position, turns the vehicle switch to the "forward position", and completes the cab end change operation;
[0072] In the high-definition capacitive touch HMI display screen of the human-computer interaction control module 104, the "direction arrow" in the upper right corner of the seat rotation control interface points to the right, and the seat rotation function is activated synchronously;
[0073] Step 2: Seat occupancy state detection: the seat enters the power-on state detection stage;
[0074] Specifically,
[0075] The high-precision piezoresistive sensor 301 under each row of seats is used to start synchronously, detect whether the seat is occupied (pressure value ≥ 15 kg, judged as "occupied" state), and transmit the seat occupancy state in real time through the vehicle serial control CAN bus;
[0076] The seat state is transmitted in real time to the high-definition capacitive touch HMI display screen of the human-computer interaction control module 104 through the CAN bus communication protocol, and the real-time state of the seat is displayed in different colors:
[0077] Idle display white, occupied display red;
[0078] If it is detected that the passenger is stranded, the driver will remind the passenger to stand up for seat rotation through broadcast circular or train attendant notification;
[0079] Step 3: Rotation instruction issuance:
[0080] The human-computer interaction control module 104 selects the seat rotation control mode according to the demand and issues the seat rotation control instruction;
[0081] Specifically,
[0082] After confirming that all the seats are empty, the driver selects the seat rotation control mode through the human-computer interaction control module 104 and issues the seat rotation control instruction;
[0083] Step 4, seat transmission execution:
[0084] The man-machine interaction control module 104 transmits control instructions to the servo motor 401 through the vehicle serial signal control CAN bus, establishes a system communication link data transmission and communication connection;
[0085] The three-phase alternating current power supply 302 of each compartment supplies power to the servo motor 401;
[0086] The output shaft of the servo motor 401 drives the flexible gear harmonic reducer 403 through the gear box 402, and transmits to the rotating main shaft of the seat through chain transmission, and drives the angular contact bearing 405 to rotate;
[0087] The Hall sensor 404 monitors the rotation angle, position and other parameters of the seat in real time, and transmits the data to the central control system 101 through the CAN bus, dynamically corrects the deviation, ensures that the positioning error of 180° is ≤±0.3°, and finally faces the driving direction of the vehicle.
[0088] Step 5, state feedback and abnormal processing:
[0089] After the seat is rotated to the position, the servo motor 401 sends a "completion signal" to the central control system 101, and when the direction of the seat is consistent with the "direction arrow" of the vehicle, the man-machine interaction control module 104 updates the seat state to green;
[0090] If the seat encounters an obstacle or does not reach the target angle, it displays white, and the system automatically triggers a 3-time retry instruction (each time interval is 10 seconds) for correction, and if the 3-time retry fails, the system prompts manual inspection of the seat rotation execution mechanism 103.
[0091] The high-speed train seat automatic rotation control system and the control method thereof have the advantages that through seat pressure sensor automatic detection, servo motor and intelligent control algorithm technology, millisecond-level detection and 180° accurate rotation control (error ≤±0.3°) of the seat state are realized, the system adopts main and backup dual-redundancy controllers to improve the system reliability, and the seat state is displayed in real time through the man-machine interface, which is convenient for the driver to operate.
[0092] The high-speed train seat automatic rotation control system has the advantages of flexible multi-modal control mode, supports single-row / single-compartment / full-train hierarchical control mode, adapts to different operation scenes, has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, high reliability, reduces manual operation, shortens the terminal station stay time, and optimizes the vehicle departure frequency.
