Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of railway signal cable monitoring, in particular to an intelligent railway signal cable monitoring system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Railway signal equipment (system) is a train operation control and safety guarantee system, and railway cable is an important and unique channel connecting indoor and outdoor equipment of railway signal, which bears various control information for transmitting direct control of train operation. Once a fault occurs, it will inevitably cause a large-scale system failure, directly affecting train efficiency and even train safety. Since there are factors such as poor construction process, external damage, influence of working environment (such as long-term vibration) and aging over time, various faults of railway cable cannot be avoided. Moreover, railway cable is mostly laid hidden and has a large range (long distance), so it is very difficult to find and handle faults. Once a fault occurs, it will inevitably cause long delay, seriously affecting normal railway transportation order and safety.

[0003] So far, there is no monitoring and diagnosis system for railway signal cable operation state in China, especially online real-time monitoring cannot be realized, so prediction and early warning cannot be realized. After a fault occurs, fault diagnosis and positioning are mostly carried out by offline test instruments. Such instruments have short test distance, poor precision and complex operation, so the fault handling time is long, which greatly interferes with normal train operation.

[0004] However, with the rapid development of railway transportation industry, there is an urgent problem: the safety and stability of railway signal cable. Signal cable plays a crucial role in safe operation of railway. It is responsible for transmission of control signal and monitoring signal, directly affecting the efficiency and safety of train operation. Railway signal cable not only needs to operate stably in complex external environment, but also faces various challenges in maintenance. The main challenges in maintenance and management of railway signal cable are as follows:

[0005] 1. Insufficient intelligence: In the current railway signal system, cable monitoring operation highly depends on manual operation, and the intelligence level is low. When a cable fault occurs, the diagnosis and positioning means used are mostly general instruments in power and communication industries, and there is a lack of special tools designed for railway signal cable. This limitation not only affects the efficiency of fault handling, but also increases the complexity of diagnosis. The fault handling of railway signal cable has long been dominated by manual operation, and lacks the support of intelligent tools, which greatly restricts the fault handling capacity. In summary, the railway signal system has obvious defects in intelligence, and it is urgent to improve its intelligent diagnosis and fault handling capacity through technological progress.

[0006] 2. Low automation level: The monitoring and maintenance of railway signal cables are not highly automated, and once the cable fails, due to the lack of automated monitoring and positioning technology, the staff often needs to spend a lot of time manually checking and locating the fault point, in addition, the railway signal cable is mostly laid in a hidden and long-distance distribution manner, which further aggravates the difficulty of finding and handling the fault, causing great interference to the normal operation of the railway, the efficiency of fault diagnosis and recovery is limited, and occupies more than half of the time for handling electric affairs, which highlights the urgent need to improve the automation level.

[0007] 3. Loss and damage of cable-related information: Due to the change of the maintenance team, the adjustment of the line or the loss and damage of the drawings during the construction process, it is extremely difficult to check and confirm the accurate position and parameters of the cable, in addition, the on-site personnel need to consult a large number of drawings when confirming the cable information, which not only wastes time and effort, but also greatly increases the difficulty in bad weather conditions, seriously affecting the progress and efficiency of the on-site maintenance work.

Furthermore, [the following is missing from the original text: "In addition, provide..."] Detailed user manuals and training courses are provided. During the maintenance and optimization phase, continuous monitoring, feedback collection, functional upgrades, and system optimization are conducted. After project delivery, ongoing technical support services are provided, and system functions are periodically reviewed based on user feedback and market trends to plan and implement necessary system upgrades. The main function of the signal cable online monitoring system is to monitor cable status, provide early warnings of cable accidents, increase the safety factor of monitored cable conditions, and improve the maintenance level of signal cables by testing cable insulation to ground, inter-line insulation, line loop resistance, leakage current, and cable signal identification. It receives 422 / 485 communication commands to achieve automatic selection of test signal sources and automatic selection of field cables. The hardware consists of a control board. The system consists of a drive board, a relay board, and a backplane cage. The output signal of the monitoring equipment in the system is output to the corresponding line under test through the line selection device. A single line selection device can monitor up to 256 cables. The 256 cables form a selection circuit. The signal cable insulation monitoring system can efficiently and accurately evaluate the insulation performance of the cable under test and diagnose cable insulation problems in a timely manner by simulating the traditional manual insulation test method. It includes: (1) Insulation resistance monitoring: Real-time monitoring of the insulation resistance value of the signal cable to ensure that the cable insulation status is always within a controllable range; When the insulation resistance value is lower than the set threshold (<1MΩ), the system will automatically trigger the alarm mechanism to remind the user to deal with the cable insulation problem in a timely manner and effectively prevent potential faults.(2) Insulation test modes: Manual single-channel measurement: Users can select a single cable for precise measurement according to actual needs, which is convenient for key monitoring or fault diagnosis of specific cables; Automatic measurement: The system supports automatic measurement of multiple cables in sequence, which can efficiently complete the insulation test tasks of a large number of cables, greatly improve work efficiency, and is especially suitable for large-scale cable monitoring scenarios; The signal cable insulation monitoring system provides a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the railway signal system, ensuring that the insulation performance of the signal cable is always in good condition, and effectively reducing the safety risks caused by cable insulation problems (its system structure is as follows); Figure 2(as shown); its system interfaces include: (1) Communication interface: the system is equipped with RS422 interface and Ethernet interface, supports multiple communication methods, and facilitates data interaction with other devices or monitoring systems; (2) Equipment power supply: the equipment power supply voltage is AC220V, and the allowable voltage fluctuation range is ±10%, ensuring the stable operation of the system in different environments; (3) Test cable interface: when conducting cable insulation testing, the system outputs DC500V (to ground) insulation measurement voltage to simulate the function of traditional manual insulation megohmmeter, and accurately measures the cable insulation performance; the performance monitoring range of the whole machine is within the insulation measurement range: 0-20MΩ, with a measurement error within ±2%. Under normal test atmospheric conditions, the independent circuits of the device and the exposed conductive parts, as well as the independent circuits, should be able to withstand the short-time impulse voltage test of the standard lightning wave of 1.2μs / 50μs. When the rated working voltage is greater than 60V, the open circuit test voltage is 5kV; when the rated working voltage is not greater than 60V, the open circuit test voltage is 1kV. After the test, the equipment should be free from insulation and component damage. Before use, the monitoring device should undergo a 72-168 hour (room temperature) continuous power-on test. During the test, the measurement performance should meet the technical requirements. The design of the monitoring device should fully consider its working conditions and ensure long-term reliable operation. Utilizing the multi-data acquisition technology research module and monitoring technology application module within the railway signal cable multi-data collaborative monitoring technology research module, multi-data acquisition technology research and application testing technology can be carried out. Furthermore, the insulation resistance monitoring unit can employ high-voltage isolation technology and advanced integrated circuit technology to ensure safe and accurate measurement of the cable's insulation resistance without interfering with the cable's normal operation. The measurement range will cover 0.01MΩ to 2.5TΩ to meet the comprehensive evaluation needs of railway signal cable insulation performance. In addition, it will be equipped with an LCD display and data storage function, supporting low insulation resistance alarms and automatic locking to promptly detect and address potential cable insulation problems, providing robust technical support for cable maintenance. Utilizing the loop resistance monitoring unit, if abnormal cable loop resistance is detected during fault diagnosis, it can determine if the cable may have broken wires, short circuits, or other problems, allowing for repair. Cable loop resistance is the DC resistance of the cable conductor at a standard reference temperature of 20°C. As a fundamental parameter of cable performance, the cable loop resistance value allows engineers and technicians to compare the resistance characteristics of different cables without considering actual ambient temperature variations. T The value of R is usually obtained through actual measurement. t The value is obtained by temperature conversion, and the conversion formula is as follows:

[0038]

[0039] Among them, R T R is the DC resistance of the conductor at 20℃.t The conductor resistance α of a cable with a length of L meters is measured at an actual temperature t. 20 Here, L is the temperature coefficient of resistance of the conductor material at 20℃, L is the length of the cable, and t is the sample temperature during measurement. Using a termination monitoring unit with specially designed sensors, real-time monitoring of termination current and temperature is achieved. The monitoring system can automatically plot monitoring data curves and, through intelligent analysis, automatically issue alarms when current and temperature exceed preset thresholds, effectively preventing faults caused by termination anomalies. This research comprehensively utilizes multi-source data such as insulation resistance, loop resistance, and termination monitoring to study data fusion technology based on a line selection matrix. Algorithms are developed to effectively integrate diverse data sources through multi-source data fusion processing, enhancing the dimension and depth of data analysis. This allows for a comprehensive assessment of the health status of railway signal cables. The data fusion processing considers the spatiotemporal characteristics of the data to ensure real-time and comprehensive evaluation results, thus providing a scientific basis for cable maintenance and fault early warning. Figure 5(As shown) Through the multi-source data fault characteristic analysis module, information such as insulation resistance, ring resistance, temperature, and humidity from multiple sources in the railway signal cable system is collected and integrated. Comprehensive data cleaning, normalization, and preprocessing are performed. Utilizing the latest data mining and machine learning techniques, such as decision trees, support vector machines (SVM), and deep learning models, key features reflecting the cable's operating status are extracted from the processed data, and a comprehensive fault characteristic knowledge base is constructed to identify and predict potential cable fault points. Through the fault diagnosis expert system research module, based on the results of fault characteristic analysis, a fault diagnosis expert system is developed. This system systematizes expert knowledge and experience into rules, enabling rapid and accurate fault diagnosis. The system employs various methods, including: constructing a knowledge base and reasoning mechanism; applying artificial intelligence technologies such as fuzzy logic and neural networks; supporting the diagnosis and decision-making process for complex faults; developing a user-friendly interface for engineers and technicians to efficiently utilize the system; and employing appropriate testing techniques and equipment for different types of cable faults, such as open circuits, short circuits, high resistance, and flashover faults, through a fault location technology research module combined with the aforementioned multi-data analysis and expert system diagnosis. Furthermore, a fusion data analysis and fault prediction technology research module utilizes various data mining techniques, such as cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), to perform in-depth analysis of the fused data to identify inherent patterns and trends, thereby enabling support vector machines (SVM) and randomized... The development of various machine learning models, such as forestry and deep neural networks (DNN), especially their application in multi-parameter and big data contexts, is applied to the implementation and intelligent operation and maintenance module of a railway signal cable intelligent monitoring system. This involves the architecture construction of a distributed monitoring system, automation of fault diagnosis and handling processes, and information management of cable-related technical data and drawings. Through the cable online monitoring subsystem within the railway signal cable intelligent monitoring system, real-time online monitoring and rapid fault diagnosis and location are achieved, providing comprehensive cable monitoring, timely detection of fault states such as short circuits, open circuits, and high resistance, and accurate location. The cable online monitoring subsystem also monitors electrical parameters such as cable insulation, inter-line insulation, and ring resistance in real time, combined with environmental monitoring. By utilizing big data technology, the system monitors the working status and trends of cables in real time, effectively preventing faults. The adopted "early warning" and "pre-processing" mechanisms promote a shift from traditional "fault repair" to a more efficient "condition-based repair" model, improving the timeliness of fault handling and reducing the probability of railway cable faults. Through the online fault monitoring and rapid diagnosis and location subsystem, and by adopting advanced "single-end," "non-sensory" online testing technology, the system monitors cables in real time. Once a fault occurs, it can quickly and accurately determine the fault type and provide the precise geographical coordinates of the fault location. All abnormalities and fault information are displayed graphically on the cable path map in the control center, enhancing the visibility of cable faults.This significantly improves diagnostic and handling efficiency, shortens fault response time, and through the cable path monitoring subsystem, integrates passive RFID sensing technology and database technology to achieve underground cable location identification and real-time retrieval of cable technical data without excavation. This enables rapid, intelligent, and assisted location of cable faults and provides information management functions for complete cable technical data and drawings. Through the box monitoring subsystem, which integrates the latest IoT sensing technology and remote communication technology, it can monitor the application environment and box conditions of railway signal cables in real time, 24 / 7.
