Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of platform door potential switching design, in particular to an intelligent equal potential switching device for platform doors. Background Art

[0002] In the design of urban rail transit platform door systems, because there is a potential difference between the rails / vehicles and the platform doors (the rails serve as the negative pole of the traction return current), in order to avoid the voltage difference between the rails / vehicles and the platform doors and prevent the step voltage from being generated when passengers enter the vehicle, causing safety hazards, the rails and platform doors are generally connected with cables to achieve equal potential.

[0003] The current engineering solution adopted by the industry is to insulate the platform decoration layer and achieve equipotential connection between the platform door and the rail (train). However, in fact, due to the limitation of construction technology level, the insulation of domestic subway platform door system generally cannot meet the operation requirements.

[0004] However, it was found in actual operation that when the insulation value is reduced, the connection of the equipotential line will cause current leakage through the weak insulation of the platform door, resulting in sparks. On the one hand, this will cause fire hazards, and in serious cases, burn the platform door control cable, causing the platform door to lose control. On the other hand, a large amount of stray current will enter the station, resulting in long-term electrical corrosion, which will affect the life of related buildings and equipment facilities.

[0005] According to research, since the opening of the subway in various cities in China, platform doors have repeatedly experienced ignition. In response to the above problems, subway companies in various places have held expert analysis seminars in the platform door industry many times. There are two opinions: one is to keep the equipotential line between the platform door and the rail connected; the other is to simply not connect the equipotential line and use an insulating film on the outer surface of the platform door structure to prevent passengers from touching it and forming a voltage difference. The equipotential line connection cannot solve the ignition problem, but not connecting the equipotential line at all and relying only on the insulating film will often cause the insulating film to be damaged due to passengers. No matter which solution is adopted, there are certain defects and risks.

[0006] These are the problems that our proposed solution aims to solve.

[0007] 1) Case

[0008] Case 1: In 2016, an elderly man with a pacemaker was boarding a subway train on a certain line in City A. Due to the failure of the door insulation, when the passenger stepped from the platform door to the train, the door column and the threshold were not insulated, resulting in a potential difference and instantaneous discharge, causing injuries and sending to the hospital for emergency treatment. This caused a certain social impact. Subsequently, the platform door manufacturers of multiple lines were urgently recalled for insulation rectification and treatment.

[0009] Case 2: Statistics from City B show that more than 90% of stations on some lines have failed insulation on platform doors. In 2019, a passenger was carrying a rod-shaped metal object on the subway. During the boarding process, the rod-shaped metal object caused the platform door and the train to overlap, causing the rod-shaped metal object to melt. The molten metal splashed and burned the train door and platform door, injuring the passenger.

[0010] In addition, from 2018 to date, there have been more than 10 fire ignition incidents caused by metal objects such as luggage carried by passengers or wheelchairs coming into contact with the train body and platform door thresholds at the same time, resulting in two complaints, one compensation, and one fire being put out with a fire extinguisher after the fire was started.

[0011] The following table provides detailed descriptions of maintenance cases.

[0012]

[0013] At present, the common practice in the industry is to disconnect the equipotential device after the insulation of the platform decoration layer is reduced; to add insulating film and apply insulating paint in places where passengers can touch. The disadvantage of this solution is that it is costly and the effectiveness of insulation cannot be predicted, which brings great hidden dangers to operation and maintenance safety. If the equipotential is not connected, when the platform door is inside

[0014] When the control line is damaged, the platform door will be under high voltage, endangering the safety of passengers.

[0015] Since large currents are often more obvious at the moment when trains enter or leave the station, the equipotential system can be set up according to the following ideas: connect the equipotential when it is needed to ensure the safety of passengers; keep it disconnected at other times, or connect it to the system ground to prevent stray current from entering the station. At the same time, the insulation between the equipotential and the earth is continuously monitored, and the equipotential is switched in different situations of effective insulation, attenuation or failure.
