Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vertical micro-deformation detection of rails, and in particular to a non-contact vertical micro-deformation detection device for rails based on visual recognition. Background Art

[0002] When a train passes by, the rails will produce vertical displacement deformation due to the heavy load of the train. The magnitude of this deformation will affect the driving safety of the train. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the vertical micro-deformation (micro deformation in the vertical direction) of the rails.

[0003] The traditional way to detect the vertical micro-deformation of rails is to use laser displacement detection technology. However, traditional laser displacement detection technology is difficult to meet the requirements. It is affected by the on-site environment, making it difficult to install, unstable, and easily damaged.

[0004] like Figure 5 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a conventional laser displacement detection technology. Since a heavy moving load will pass through the space above the rail 4 to be measured during the detection period, the laser displacement sensor 6 and other equipment cannot be installed above the rail 4 to be measured. In order to detect the vertical displacement of the rail 4, the laser displacement sensor 6 can only be installed in the space below the rail 4 to be measured. The characteristic of the laser displacement sensor 6 is that the higher the accuracy, the larger the external dimensions. The vertical space between the rail to be measured and the ground is very limited, generally not more than 70 mm. The external dimensions of the laser displacement sensor 6 have greatly exceeded the limit of 70 mm, and direct installation becomes impossible. In order to be able to install it normally, it is necessary to dig a sunken slotted hole 8 on the ground 7 to facilitate the installation of the laser displacement sensor 6. However, this will make the installation and debugging of the laser displacement sensor 6 difficult.

[0005] In addition, since the sunken slotted hole 8 is lower than the ground 7, water accumulation may easily occur, which is a fatal damage to the laser displacement sensor 6 and causes its unstable use. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example:

[0028] like Figure 1 The figure shows a non-contact rail vertical micro-deformation detection device based on visual recognition according to the present embodiment, which includes a mounting base 1, a linear camera 2 and a linear fill light 3.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mounting seat 1 of this embodiment includes a bottom plate 1.4, an upper mounting portion arranged on the bottom plate 1.4, and a front mounting portion arranged in front of the bottom plate 1.4. When in use, the mounting seat 1 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the steel rail 4 to be tested, and there is a gap between the mounting seat 1 and the side of the steel rail 4 to be tested, that is, the detection device as a whole does not contact the steel rail 4 to be tested.

[0030] The linear camera 2 and the linear fill light 3 are fixed on the mounting seat 1, respectively. The specific fixing structure is as follows: the two sides of the upper mounting portion are provided with mounting plates 1.1 extending upward, a square upper mounting groove 1.2 is formed between the mounting plates 1.1 on the two sides, and the mounting plates 1.1 on the two sides are respectively provided with first through holes 1.3. The rear of the linear camera 2 is in a square shape, which is adapted to the size of the upper mounting groove 1.2, and the two side surfaces of the rear of the linear camera 2 are respectively provided with first bolt holes. During installation, the rear of the linear camera 2 is embedded in the upper mounting groove 1.2, and the first fixing bolt passes through the first through hole 1.3 and is threadedly connected with the first bolt hole to achieve fixation. The installed linear camera 2 faces the side of the steel rail 4 to be measured, and is used to scan the steel rail 4 to be measured. The effective scanning line 5 of the linear camera 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the steel rail 4.

[0031] The front mounting portion is provided with a retaining edge 1.6, and an L-shaped front mounting groove 1.7 is formed in front of the retaining edge 1.6. A second through hole 1.8 is provided on the retaining edge 1.6, and a second bolt hole is provided at the rear of the linear fill light 3. When installed, the linear fill light 3 is transversely located in the front mounting groove 1.7, and is fixed by passing a second fixing bolt through the second through hole 1.8 and being threadedly connected with the second bolt hole. When in use, the linear fill light 3 irradiates the side of the steel rail 4 to be measured, and the length direction of the linear fill light 3 is parallel to the length direction of the steel rail 4 to be measured.

[0032] The non-contact rail vertical micro-deformation detection device based on visual recognition in this embodiment is used as follows:

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the detection device as a whole will be fixedly installed on the outer side of the steel rail 4 to be tested through the fixing hole 1.5 on the bottom plate 1, without contacting the steel rail 4 to be tested, the linear fill light 3 will illuminate the side of the steel rail 4 to be tested, and the linear camera 2 will face the side of the steel rail 4 to be tested.

The linear graph file will be used for subsequent analysis, and the relevant data of vertical micro-deformation will be obtained by analyzing the vertical change of the image.

[0034] The detection device can realize non-contact high-precision vertical displacement monitoring of the detected object (rail), and the highest monitoring accuracy can reach 0.0425mm / pix.
