Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of railway electric traction transmission technology, and in particular to a method for detecting irregular wheel wear based on stator current analysis. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in high-speed railway operating speeds, wheels need to withstand greater impact loads. In recent years, irregular wheel wear has gradually become a serious challenge for rail vehicles, with polygonal wear and wheel flat spots being the most prominent. Irregular wheel wear not only exacerbates the vibration and impact of the wheel-rail system, leading to accelerated fatigue aging of key components, but may also seriously threaten operational safety at higher speeds. Therefore, timely and accurate monitoring of wheel wear and implementation of corresponding maintenance measures will help reduce the risk of failure, extend vehicle service life, and ensure the safe and stable operation of high-speed railways.

[0003] Commonly used wheel wear monitoring methods are mostly based on the direct or indirect analysis of mechanical vibration signals (such as vertical axle box acceleration (ABA) signals). However, in the process of developing this invention, the applicant discovered that the acquisition of mechanical vibration signals is easily affected by complex external environments, leading to a decrease in the stability and reliability of monitoring results. Meanwhile, while some AI-based monitoring methods possess a certain degree of intelligent recognition capability, they are often highly dependent on training data, difficult to generalize to unseen scenarios, and lack physical interpretability. This makes it difficult for existing technologies to effectively monitor irregular wheel wear conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Furthermore, the driving torque output by the traction converter drive system model is transmitted to the train-track coupled dynamics model via SIMAT and applied to the motor rotor; at the same time, the mechanical angular velocity of the motor rotor is fed back to the motor control module of the electric traction converter drive system model via SIMAT.

[0021] The train traction drive system is essentially a complex closed-loop electromechanical coupling system. On the one hand, during actual train operation, the traction control system needs to collect and monitor electrical parameters in real time to ensure stable system operation. On the other hand, in the process of developing this application, the applicant discovered that the mechanical excitation caused by irregular wear such as polygonal wear of the wheels propagates step by step along the wheelset, gear transmission system, and rotor to the electrical side, ultimately causing fluctuations in electrical parameters (such as stator current). This propagation process provides a physical basis for wheel state sensing based on electrical signals. Therefore, if the wheel wear state can be sensed using existing electrical signals, no additional sensors are needed, which has good engineering feasibility and economy.

Specifically: the driving torque output by the electrical subsystem is transmitted to the mechanical subsystem through SIMAT and applied to the motor rotor; at the same time, the mechanical angular velocity of the motor rotor is fed back to the motor control module of the electrical subsystem through SIMAT. Through the above bidirectional transmission, closed-loop feedback and real-time interaction between the electrical subsystem and the mechanical subsystem are realized. A schematic diagram of the electromechanical coupling model established in this step is shown below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0031] Step 2: Based on the electromechanical coupling model, analyze the time-frequency characteristics of the electrical and mechanical parameters in the traction drive system under the excitation of irregular wheel wear, and establish the mathematical relationship between irregular wheel wear and stator harmonic current.
