Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of locomotive and rolling stock safety monitoring technology, specifically to a method and device for acquiring wheel-rail partial contact information. Background Technology

[0002] Local wheel-rail contact information is a key parameter for predicting wheel-rail wear and rolling contact fatigue, among other wheel-rail interface degradation. This information needs to be obtained based on given wheel-rail relative motion information. However, direct testing of wheel-rail relative motion information is difficult, and it often relies on numerical simulations of vehicle dynamics. Since the vehicle dynamics simulation model itself has significant calculation errors, this affects the accuracy of the local wheel-rail contact information solution.

[0003] Force-measuring wheelsets are a primary technical means for conducting on-board wheel-rail force measurement and vehicle operation safety assessment. Existing force-measuring wheelsets can accurately measure and obtain the resultant wheel-rail force and wheel-rail contact area, but they cannot obtain information on the relative motion between the wheel and rail. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for obtaining wheel-rail local contact information, which can at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] On one hand, this invention proposes a method for obtaining wheel-rail local contact information, including:

[0006] Based on the correspondence, determine the lateral displacement of the wheelset, the rail irregularity, and the rail gauge corresponding to the wheel-rail contact point position of the force-measuring wheelset;

[0007] The correspondence is the relationship between the preset wheel-rail contact point position, the preset wheelset lateral displacement and rail unevenness, and the preset rail gauge.

[0008] The wheel-rail contact geometry is determined based on the wheel-rail profile, wheelset lateral displacement and track irregularity, and rail gauge. The measured wheel-rail normal force and measured wheel-rail tangential force are obtained based on the wheel-rail contact geometry, the wheel-rail vertical force, wheel-rail lateral force, and wheel-rail longitudinal force of the force-measuring wheelset.

[0009] Based on the stated wheel-rail contact geometry, a normal contact analysis calculation is performed to obtain the wheel-rail normal force calculation result. The wheel-rail normal force calculation result is then updated based on the comparison between the stated wheel-rail normal force calculation result and the measured wheel-rail normal force, resulting in an updated wheel-rail normal force calculation result.

[0010] Tangential contact analysis is performed based on the wheel-rail friction coefficient and the updated calculation results of the wheel-rail normal force to obtain the wheel-rail tangential force calculation results. The wheel-rail tangential force calculation results are then updated based on the comparison between the wheel-rail tangential force calculation results and the measured wheel-rail tangential force. Based on the updated wheel-rail tangential force calculation results, the local wheel-rail contact information is determined.

[0011] The wheel-rail contact geometry includes the wheel-rail normal clearance and the contact plane; correspondingly, determining the wheel-rail contact geometry based on the wheel-rail profile, wheelset lateral displacement and rail irregularity, and rail gauge includes:

[0012] The positions of the wheel profile and rail profile in three-dimensional space are determined based on the wheel-rail profile, wheelset lateral displacement and rail irregularity, and rail gauge.

[0018] The maximum wheel-rail compression is determined as the initial condition for iteration, and the relative wheel-rail compression is obtained by superimposing the wheel-rail normal clearance.

[0019] Based on the relative compression of the wheel and rail, normal contact calculation is performed to obtain the wheel-rail contact patch area and the wheel-rail normal pressure.

Based on the pre-acquired wheel and rail spin creep rate, the longitudinal creep rate, the lateral creep rate, the wheel and rail friction coefficient, and the wheel and rail normal force, the calculation results are updated and superimposed to obtain the wheel and rail tangential stress under the current working condition.

[0023] The wheel-rail tangential stress is integrated within the pre-obtained wheel-rail contact patch area to obtain the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result.

[0024] The wheel-rail tangential force calculation result includes the longitudinal creep force calculation result and the lateral creep force calculation result of the wheel and rail, and the measured wheel-rail tangential force includes the longitudinal creep force and the lateral creep force of the wheel and rail; correspondingly, updating the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result based on the comparison result between the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result and the measured wheel-rail tangential force includes:

[0025] If it is determined that the comparison result between the longitudinal creep force calculation result and the longitudinal creep force, and the comparison result between the lateral creep force calculation result and the lateral creep force are both less than a preset difference, then the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result at this time is determined as the wheel-rail tangential force update calculation result.

[0026] If at least one comparison result is determined to be greater than or equal to the preset difference, then the step of updating the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result continues.

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0062] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for obtaining partial wheel-rail contact information according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the wheel-rail local contact information acquisition method provided in this embodiment of the invention includes:

[0063] Step S1: Determine the lateral displacement of the wheelset, the rail irregularity, and the rail gauge corresponding to the wheel-rail contact point position of the force-measuring wheelset based on the corresponding relationship.

[0064] The correspondence is the relationship between the preset wheel-rail contact point position, the preset wheelset lateral displacement and track unevenness, and the preset rail gauge.

[0065] Step S2: Determine the wheel-rail contact geometry based on the wheel-rail profile, wheelset lateral displacement and track unevenness, and rail gauge. Obtain the measured wheel-rail normal force and measured wheel-rail tangential force based on the wheel-rail contact geometry, the wheel-rail vertical force, wheel-rail lateral force, and wheel-rail longitudinal force of the force-measuring wheelset.

[0066] Step S3: Perform normal contact analysis calculation based on the wheel-rail contact geometry to obtain the wheel-rail normal force calculation result, and update the wheel-rail normal force calculation result based on the comparison between the wheel-rail normal force calculation result and the measured wheel-rail normal force to obtain the updated wheel-rail normal force calculation result.

[0067] Step S4: Perform tangential contact analysis calculation based on the wheel-rail friction coefficient and the updated wheel-rail normal force calculation results to obtain the wheel-rail tangential force calculation results. Update the wheel-rail tangential force calculation results based on the comparison between the wheel-rail tangential force calculation results and the measured wheel-rail tangential force. Determine the wheel-rail local contact information based on the updated wheel-rail tangential force calculation results.

[0068] In step S1 above, the device determines the lateral displacement of the wheelset, the rail unevenness, and the rail gauge corresponding to the wheel-rail contact point position of the force measuring wheelset according to the correspondence relationship.

[0069] The correspondence refers to the relationship between the preset wheel-rail contact point position, the preset wheelset lateral displacement and rail misalignment, and the preset rail gauge. The device can be a computer that executes this method. The acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in this application's technical solution all comply with relevant regulations. The correspondence can be represented by Table 1:

[0070] Table 1

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] The contents of Table 1 are further explained as follows: Calculation conditions: wheel LMA, rail 60.

[0074] The following explains how the correspondence shown in Table 1 was obtained:

[0075] The input parameters derived from the local wheel-rail contact information obtained by the force-measuring wheelset test include wheel-rail longitudinal force, wheel-rail lateral force, and wheel-rail vertical force; at the same time, the measured wheel-rail profile and wheel-rail material constants are input; and the wheel-rail friction coefficient is input according to the climatic conditions.

[0076] For the wheel-rail profile to be analyzed, without considering the wheelset roll angle, a two-dimensional wheel-rail normal contact analysis is conducted. First, assuming the wheelset roll angle is zero, the two-dimensional normal clearance between the left and right wheelsets is determined based on the wheelset lateral displacement, rail irregularity, and rail gauge. By adjusting the wheelset roll angle, the minimum normal clearance between the left and right wheelsets is made equal, thus determining the roll angle under specific wheelset lateral displacement, rail irregularity, and rail gauge conditions. The positions corresponding to the minimum normal clearance between the left and right wheelsets calculated using this roll angle are the left and right wheel-rail contact points. A reasonable range of variation for the wheelset lateral displacement, rail irregularity, and rail gauge is determined. Within this range, the positions of the left and right wheel-rail contact points on the wheels, calculated based on the above wheel-rail contact geometry, are obtained for different wheelset lateral displacements, rail irregularities, and rail gauges. A table showing the relationship between the contact point positions and the wheelset lateral displacement, rail irregularity, and rail gauge is generated, as shown in Table 1.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the positions of the left and right wheel-rail contact points obtained from the force-measuring wheelset test, the relative motion attitude of the wheel and rail is obtained by referring to Table 1, namely the lateral displacement of the wheelset, the rail unevenness and the rail gauge.

[0078] In step S2 above, the device determines the wheel-rail contact geometry based on the wheel-rail profile, wheelset lateral displacement and rail irregularity, and rail gauge. It then obtains the measured wheel-rail normal force and measured wheel-rail tangential force based on the wheel-rail contact geometry, the wheel-rail vertical force, wheel-rail lateral force, and wheel-rail longitudinal force of the force-measuring wheelset. The wheel-rail contact geometry includes the wheel-rail normal clearance and the contact plane. Correspondingly, determining the wheel-rail contact geometry based on the wheel-rail profile, wheelset lateral displacement and rail irregularity, and rail gauge includes:

[0079] The positions of the wheel profile and rail profile in three-dimensional space are determined based on the wheel-rail profile, wheelset lateral displacement and rail irregularity, and rail gauge.

[0080] The wheel-rail normal clearance and the position of the contact origin are obtained when the wheel and rail are initially in contact and have not deformed, based on the positions of the wheel profile and rail profile in three-dimensional space.

[0081] The contact plane is determined based on the location of the contact origin.

[0082] Based on the wheel-rail profile and the wheelset lateral displacement, rail irregularity, and rail gauge obtained through reverse calculation, the positions of the wheel and rail profiles in three-dimensional space are determined, and then the wheel-rail normal clearance at the initial contact point before deformation is calculated (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown) and the location of the contact origin. For Figure 3 Further explanation is as follows:

[0083] Calculation conditions: Wheel LMA, rail 60, wheelset lateral movement 0 mm, yaw rate 0 rad.

[0084] The process of obtaining the measured wheel-rail normal force and measured wheel-rail tangential force based on the wheel-rail contact geometry, the wheel-rail vertical force, wheel-rail lateral force, and wheel-rail longitudinal force of the force-measuring wheelset includes:

[0085] The wheel-rail coordinate system orientation is determined based on the wheel-rail contact geometry. The wheel-rail vertical force, wheel-rail lateral force, and wheel-rail longitudinal force of the force-measuring wheelset are then transformed according to this orientation to obtain the measured wheel-rail normal force and the measured wheel-rail tangential force. The contact plane is determined based on the contact origin position, and the wheel-rail coordinate system orientation is further determined. The wheel-rail vertical force, wheel-rail lateral force, and wheel-rail longitudinal force obtained from the force-measuring wheelset test are transformed into contact patch coordinates for wheel-rail contact analysis to obtain the wheel-rail normal force and wheel-rail tangential force (longitudinal creep force / lateral creep force).

[0086] In step S3 above, the device performs normal contact analysis calculations based on the wheel-rail contact geometry to obtain the wheel-rail normal force calculation result, and updates the wheel-rail normal force calculation result based on the comparison between the wheel-rail normal force calculation result and the measured wheel-rail normal force, thus obtaining the updated wheel-rail normal force calculation result. The step of performing normal contact analysis calculations based on the wheel-rail contact geometry to obtain the wheel-rail normal force calculation result includes:

[0087] The maximum wheel-rail compression is determined as the initial condition for iteration, and the relative wheel-rail compression is obtained by superimposing the wheel-rail normal clearance.

[0088] Based on the relative compression of the wheel and rail, normal contact calculation is performed to obtain the wheel-rail contact patch area and the wheel-rail normal pressure.

[0089] The wheel-rail normal pressure is integrated within the wheel-rail contact patch area to obtain the wheel-rail normal force calculation result.

[0090] The Kalker variational method and Newton-Raphson iterative method are combined to solve for the local information of wheel-rail contact in the normal direction. The following steps are followed:

[0091] R1: Assuming a relatively large maximum wheel-rail compression as the initial condition for iteration, the wheel-rail normal clearance is superimposed to obtain the three-dimensional distribution of the relative wheel-rail compression, and then the relative wheel-rail compression is determined.

[0092] R2: Based on the relative compression between the wheel and rail, the NORM algorithm in the Kalker variational method is used to solve for the wheel-rail normal contact, obtaining the wheel-rail contact patch area and the wheel-rail normal pressure (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), the rail normal force is calculated by integrating the wheel-rail normal pressure over the contact patch region; for Figure 4 Further explanation: Calculation conditions: wheel LMA, rail 60, wheelset lateral displacement 0mm, yaw rate 0 rad, normal force N=73.4 kN, color indicates wheel-rail normal stress.

[0093] R3: Determine whether the difference between the calculated rail normal force from R2 and the inverse wheel-rail normal force is less than the convergence condition. If not, use the Newton-Raphson iteration to update the maximum wheel-rail compression and proceed to the next iteration. If yes, terminate the iteration, complete the normal contact calculation, and obtain the updated wheel-rail normal force calculation result.

[0094] In step S4 above, the device performs tangential contact analysis calculation based on the wheel-rail friction coefficient and the updated calculation result of the wheel-rail normal force to obtain the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result. The device then updates the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result based on the comparison between the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result and the measured wheel-rail tangential force, and determines the wheel-rail local contact information based on the updated wheel-rail tangential force calculation result.

[0095] The step of performing tangential contact analysis calculations based on the wheel-rail friction coefficient and the updated wheel-rail normal force calculation results to obtain the wheel-rail tangential force calculation results includes:

[0096] The longitudinal and lateral creep rates of the wheel and rail are determined as the initial conditions for iteration. Based on the pre-acquired wheel and rail spin creep rate, the longitudinal creep rate, the lateral creep rate, the wheel and rail friction coefficient, and the wheel and rail normal force, the calculation results are updated and superimposed to obtain the wheel and rail tangential stress under the current working condition.

[0097] The wheel-rail tangential stress is integrated within the pre-obtained wheel-rail contact patch area to obtain the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result.

[0098] The following steps are followed to solve for the local information of wheel-rail tangential contact by combining the Kalker variational method and the Newton-Raphson iterative method:

[0099] E1: Calculate the wheel-rail spin creep rate based on the wheelset lateral displacement and track unevenness.

[0100] E2: Assume a relatively large longitudinal and lateral creep rate of the wheel and rail as the initial condition for iteration.

[0101] E3: Using the wheel-rail friction coefficient and the wheel-rail normal pressure (as the result of updating the wheel-rail normal force calculation) as input conditions, and combining the obtained longitudinal creep rate, lateral creep rate, and wheel-rail spin creep rate, the wheel-rail tangential contact under the above working conditions is calculated based on the Kalker variational method TANG algorithm, obtaining the adhesion zone / sliding zone distribution, wheel-rail tangential stress, local sliding velocity distribution, etc. (e.g.) Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the wheel-rail tangential stress is integrated over the contact patch region to obtain the longitudinal and lateral creep forces (i.e., the calculated wheel-rail tangential forces). For Figure 5 Further explanation: Calculation conditions: Wheel LMA, 60mm rail, wheelset lateral displacement 0 mm, yaw rate 0 rad, normal force N = 73.4 kN, longitudinal creep rate cx = -2.5 × 10⁻⁶ -4 The lateral creep rate cy = -2.5 × 10 -4 The spin creep rate is cz = -0.0603. The area enclosed by the red line represents the sliding zone. Different colors distinguish the resultant tangential stress, and the arrow indicates the shear stress vector.

[0102] The calculated wheel-rail tangential force includes the calculated longitudinal creep force and the calculated lateral creep force of the wheel and rail, and the measured wheel-rail tangential force includes the longitudinal creep force and the lateral creep force of the wheel and rail; correspondingly, updating the wheel-rail tangential force calculated based on the comparison between the calculated wheel-rail tangential force and the measured wheel-rail tangential force includes:

[0103] If it is determined that the comparison result between the longitudinal creep force calculation result and the longitudinal creep force, and the comparison result between the lateral creep force calculation result and the lateral creep force are both less than a preset difference, then the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result at this time is determined as the wheel-rail tangential force update calculation result.

[0104] If at least one comparison result is determined to be greater than or equal to the preset difference, then the step of updating the wheel-rail tangential force calculation result continues.

[0105] E4: Determine whether the differences between the longitudinal and lateral creep forces of the wheel and rail calculated in E3 and the reverse-calculated longitudinal and lateral creep forces of the wheel and rail are both less than the preset difference values. If not, use the Newton-Raphson iteration to update the longitudinal and lateral creep rates of the wheel and rail, and proceed to the next iteration. If yes, terminate the iteration, complete the tangential contact calculation, and obtain the updated wheel-rail tangential force calculation results, i.e., the updated longitudinal and lateral creep rates of the wheel and rail. The local contact information of the wheel and rail can then be reflected through the updated wheel-rail tangential force calculation results.

[0106] The method for obtaining wheel-rail local contact information provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be further described as follows:

[0107] To implement the reverse calculation of local wheel-rail contact information, this invention, focusing on the wheel-rail profile and disregarding the wheelset roll angle, determines the wheelset roll angle based on two-dimensional wheel-rail contact geometry analysis, and obtains the positions and relative motion attitudes of the left and right contact points, i.e., the relationship between the wheelset lateral displacement, the rail irregularity, and the rail gauge. Table 1 shows the relationship between the positions and relative motion attitudes of the left and right contact points. Based on the left and right wheel-rail contact point positions obtained from the force-measuring wheelset test, the relative motion attitudes of the wheel and rail, i.e., the wheelset lateral displacement, the rail irregularity, and the rail gauge, are obtained by referring to Table 1.

[0108] To solve the three-dimensional contact geometry of the wheel and rail, this invention solves the three-dimensional contact geometry based on the wheel and rail profile and the wheelset lateral displacement, rail irregularity and track gauge obtained by reverse calculation, determines the wheel and rail contact plane, and solves the wheel and rail normal clearance when the wheel and rail are initially in contact and have not deformed. The wheel and rail vertical force, wheel and rail lateral force, and wheel and rail longitudinal force in the overall coordinate system obtained by the test are transformed into contact patch coordinates to obtain the wheel and rail normal force and wheel and rail longitudinal / lateral creep force.

[0109] To solve for wheel-rail normal contact, this invention uses the Kalker variational method to calculate the wheel-rail normal contact state. In the calculation, the Newton-Raphson iterative wheel-rail compression is used to make the calculated wheel-rail normal force equal to the inversely derived wheel-rail normal force. The wheel-rail normal contact is calculated using the obtained wheel-rail compression, and the wheel-rail normal pressure distribution in the wheel-rail contact area and contact patch is obtained.

[0110] To solve the wheel-rail tangential contact problem, this invention utilizes the obtained normal stress distribution within the contact patch and the wheel-rail environmental conditions during testing. Based on the Kalker variational method, it calculates the wheel-rail tangential contact state under the test wheel-rail tangential force condition. In the calculation, the Newton-Raphson iteration of the wheel-rail creep rate (iter only for longitudinal and lateral creep rates, while the spin creep rate is obtained theoretically by relative lateral displacement) is used to ensure that the calculated wheel-rail creep force equals the test wheel-rail creep force. The wheel-rail tangential contact is calculated using the determined wheel-rail creep rate, obtaining parameters such as the distribution of the adhesion / sliding zone, the wheel-rail tangential contact stress distribution, and the local sliding velocity distribution within the wheel-rail contact area.

[0111] The method for obtaining wheel-rail local contact information provided in this embodiment of the invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0112] 1. This invention proposes a method for back-calculating wheel-rail local contact information based on force-measuring wheelsets. The method for back-calculating wheel-rail motion information based on measured wheel-rail forces and wheel-rail contact positions is more accurate than vehicle dynamics simulation results, and thus significantly improves the prediction accuracy of wheel-rail local contact information based on wheel-rail motion information.

[0113] 2. This invention overcomes the shortcomings of current force-measuring wheelsets, which can only measure the resultant force between wheel and rail but cannot predict the internal contact information of the wheel-rail contact patch, thus improving the measurement range of the force-measuring wheelsets.

[0114] 3. This invention is based on the Kalker variational method and the Newton-Raphson iterative method to back-calculate the wheel-rail normal relative motion and wheel-rail creep rate, and obtains wheel-rail local contact information. The back-calculation efficiency and accuracy are excellent.

[0115] The wheel-rail local contact information acquisition method provided in this embodiment of the invention determines the wheelset lateral displacement, rail irregularity, and rail gauge corresponding to the wheel-rail contact point position of the force-measuring wheelset based on a correspondence relationship. The correspondence relationship is a relationship between a preset wheel-rail contact point position, a preset wheelset lateral displacement and rail irregularity, and a preset rail gauge. The wheel-rail contact geometry is determined based on the wheel-rail profile, the wheelset lateral displacement and rail irregularity, and the rail gauge. The measured wheel-rail normal force and measured wheel-rail tangential force are obtained based on the wheel-rail contact geometry, the wheel-rail vertical force, wheel-rail lateral force, and wheel-rail longitudinal force of the force-measuring wheelset. The normal force is calculated based on the wheel-rail contact geometry. Contact analysis calculations are performed to obtain the wheel-rail normal force calculation results. These results are then updated based on a comparison between the calculated wheel-rail normal force and the measured wheel-rail normal force, resulting in an updated wheel-rail normal force calculation result. Tangential contact analysis calculations are then performed based on the wheel-rail friction coefficient and the updated wheel-rail normal force calculation results to obtain the wheel-rail tangential force calculation results. These updated wheel-rail tangential force calculation results are then updated based on a comparison between the calculated wheel-rail tangential force and the measured wheel-rail tangential force. The updated wheel-rail tangential force calculation results determine the local wheel-rail contact information, which improves the accuracy of obtaining local wheel-rail contact information and provides a basis for assessing wheel-rail interface degradation.
