Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of contact network compensation, in particular to a contact network state monitoring system. Background technology:
[0002] Electrified railways, characterized by high operating speeds and low energy consumption, are the preferred means of transportation for building a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society. The overhead catenary (OCT) is the transmission line overhead the railway line provides power to electric locomotives. Due to environmental influences, pantograph-catenary system failures are common. Simulation studies and railway operational experience have shown that maintaining relatively stable tension in the catenary and catenary cables improves the current collection efficiency of the catenary and enhances train stability. The catenary compensation device, through the constant weight of a weight, maintains constant tension in the catenary despite temperature fluctuations or external forces, minimizing pantograph-catenary failures. The operating condition of the catenary ratchet compensation device directly affects the dynamic characteristics and current collection quality of the pantograph and catenary. Compensation rope breakage or weight jamming are the main causes of catenary anchoring device failure. To address these issues, real-time monitoring of the position parameters of the weight string in the catenary anchoring device is necessary. The catenary compensation device's a value refers to the distance from the end of the catenary compensation wire to the bottom edge of the fixed pulley; the b value of the catenary compensation device refers to the distance from the bottom surface of the lowest weight to the ground. According to the "Catenary Operation and Maintenance Regulations" issued by the Ministry of Railways, the b value of the catenary compensation device must not be less than 200mm, so the b value of the catenary compensation device must be regularly tested.
[0003] The b-value of the contact network compensation device is usually manually tested several times a month. According to statistics, it takes about 300 minutes to measure the b-value of a contact network each month, which includes the time for entering and exiting the fence, the time for reaching the test point, and the measurement time. The test time is limited and the test takes a long time. It is impossible to monitor in real time 24 hours a day, and the measurement efficiency is low. When testing multiple locations, the time required increases exponentially, which requires a lot of time and manpower, and the workload is large.
[0004] To reduce labor and time, online monitoring systems have emerged. These use distance sensors such as laser rangefinders or ultrasonic rangefinders to measure the height of the weight above the ground to determine the a and b values. However, laser rangefinders are susceptible to strong light and perform poorly in bright environments. Furthermore, installation requires careful alignment and adjustment of the weight, making it cumbersome. Ultrasonic rangefinders operate within a sector-shaped area and are susceptible to interference, which can cause false alarms. Summary of the invention:

Specific implementation method:
[0043] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments. Figure 1 —6:
[0044] A contact network status monitoring system includes a monitoring software platform and a monitoring terminal arranged on a ratchet 1. The monitoring terminal includes an MCU microprocessor 2, a posture sensor 3 and a temperature and humidity sensor 4. The MCU microprocessor 2 collects and processes data from the posture sensor 3 and the temperature and humidity sensor 4, and transmits the information to the monitoring software platform.
[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, the posture sensor 3 set on the ratchet 1 collects the movement posture of the ratchet 1 in real time, including angle and acceleration data. The temperature and humidity sensor 4 collects the temperature and humidity data of the surrounding environment in real time. The MCU microprocessor 2 processes the collected angle and acceleration data, calculates the change in the a and b values, and compares them with the real-time temperature change to determine the forward, reverse, stuck and other states of the ratchet 1, and transmits the information to the monitoring software platform.
[0046] Real-time calculation process of a and b values:
[0047] 1. After installing the terminal on the ratchet, initialize the angle sensor, set the current state to 0 degrees of the angle sensor, and set the angle range to -180 degrees to 180 degrees;
[0048] 2. Measure the current a1 and b1 values and the ratchet diameter R, record them, and store them in the terminal's memory.
[0049] 3. The terminal regularly collects the sensor's angle data θ1, θ2, θ3, θ4...θ n .
[0050] 4. By judging θ n- θ n-1 The value is used to determine whether the ratchet rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. The system defaults to θ n- θ n-1 If the value is positive, it is considered to be clockwise rotation;n- θ n-1 A negative value is considered to be counterclockwise rotation.
[0051] 5. The rotation angle of ratchet 1 is θ n- θ n-1 , so the rotation distance L of ratchet 1 can be calculated n for:
[0052]
[0053] 6. The cumulative rotation distance of ratchet 1 is L sum For L sum= L1+L2+L3+L … +L n .
[0054] 7. Since the change in a value is equal to the cumulative rotation distance L of ratchet 1, and the change in b value is equal to -L, the current real-time a n Value and b n The value is: a n =a1+L sum , b n =b1-L sum .
[0055] Determining the stuck state of ratchet 1: Due to thermal expansion and contraction, temperature has a significant impact on the changes in the a and b values. Contact wires are mostly made of copper alloy. Temperature fluctuations in the environment cause the contact wire to expand and contract, resulting in changes in tension. The formula for calculating the change in contact wire length with temperature is: ΔL = L*a*ΔT, where L is the contact wire length, with a maximum of approximately 750m; ΔT is the temperature change, with a maximum of approximately 80°C; and α is the expansion coefficient of the copper alloy, approximately 0.0000171 (m / m°C). Therefore, assuming a contact wire length of 1km, a 1°C temperature change results in a 17.1mm change in contact wire length. The change in contact wire length, ΔL, is the change in a and b values. By collecting real-time temperature sensor data, the temperature change is compared with the change in a and b values. If the a and b values remain unchanged for a period of time and the temperature changes significantly, ratchet 1 is considered stuck.
[0056] Catenary icing determination: The contact line changes with ambient temperature in the same manner as above. Real-time temperature sensor data is collected and compared with the temperature change and the changes in the a and b values. If the change in the a and b values is significantly greater than the temperature's influence on the a and b values, and the current ambient temperature is below zero and the humidity is high, meeting the conditions for icing, the ratchet is suspected of being iced.
[0057] Determining if a and b values exceed the limit: The "Catechnical Line Operation and Maintenance Regulations" issued by the Ministry of Railways stipulate that the minimum a and b values for compensators must be no less than 200 mm. When designing catenary systems, these values must be no less than 300 mm. Therefore, monitoring and early warning can be performed based on the calculated real-time a and b values. If the a and b values are less than 300 mm, a warning notification is issued; if the a and b values are less than 200 mm, an alarm notification is issued.
[0058] The monitoring terminal of the utility model can realize the collection of ratchet status data and environmental status data; the monitoring software platform realizes functions such as data aggregation, data preprocessing, protocol conversion, data storage, data analysis, data display, monitoring and early warning, information notification, and terminal configuration.
[0059] Furthermore, it also includes a mobile management terminal, which enables users and maintenance personnel to view and process data in real time on the spot.
[0060] The monitoring software platform analyzes the relationship between ratchet state data and environmental data and proposes a ratchet state model. By comparing temperature and humidity, the theoretical changes in a and b values can be obtained.
[0061] The utility model monitors the movement posture of the ratchet 1 in real time through the posture sensor 3 arranged on the ratchet 1, the MCU microprocessor 2 calculates the actual changes in the a and b values, and monitors the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment of the ratchet 1 in real time through the temperature and humidity sensor 4 arranged on the ratchet 1. The MCU microprocessor 2 transmits the information to the monitoring software platform, and the monitoring software platform judges the state of the ratchet 1 by comparing the actual changes in the a and b values under the current temperature and humidity conditions with the theoretical changes in the a and b values, thereby eliminating the need for workers to conduct regular on-site inspections, reducing manpower and time, and greatly improving work efficiency. In addition, the posture sensor 3 is not affected by strong light, is simple to install and debug, and is not easily interfered with, thereby not causing false alarms.
