Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to track technology, and in particular relates to a subway track stray current monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] Urban subway track DC traction power supply systems often use rails as return paths. Since it is impossible to completely insulate the rails from the ballast, it is inevitable that DC current leaks from the rails to the ballast, structure or metal pipelines, which is called stray current. Stray current mainly affects the buried metal pipelines around urban rail transit, the outer sheath of communication cables, and the steel bars in the main structures of stations, interval tunnels and elevated bridges, causing electrochemical corrosion. This will not only shorten the service life of metal pipes and wires, but also reduce the strength and durability of the main reinforced concrete structure of urban rail transit, and even lead to catastrophic accidents. Utility Model Content

[0006] One end of the embedded connection terminal is connected to one end of the flat steel; the other end of the embedded connection terminal is connected to the inner end of the ballast embedded measurement terminal arranged in the concrete at the ballast structure.

[0007] As a further improvement, the track bed embedded measuring terminal is formed by connecting galvanized round steel and a top copper terminal connected by a conductive joint, and a bolt hole is arranged on the top of the top copper terminal.

[0008] When the ballast is a section ballast, the top surface of the ballast embedded measuring terminal is 3 to 5 mm higher than the upper surface of the concrete to prevent the upper surface of the ballast embedded measuring terminal from being submerged in the concrete.

[0009] When the roadbed is an integral roadbed of a parking lot, there are multiple roadbed embedded measuring terminals, which are respectively arranged on a column or wall adjacent to an expansion joint, and the roadbed embedded measuring terminals are installed on the outer side of the column or wall; the roadbed embedded measuring terminals on both sides of the expansion joint are connected by cables to form a loop.

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this patent to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this patent. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this patent, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0019] In order to solve the problem of corrosion of subway metal pipelines and structural steel bars by stray current in the existing track DC traction power supply system and the problem of spreading outside the subway, it is particularly important to locate the accident site in time. Therefore, this embodiment provides a subway track stray current monitoring system, including a steel mesh 1 (such as a steel mesh 1 installed at the track bed structure) Figure 1 As shown), embedded connection terminal 2 (as Figure 1 As shown), flat steel 3 (as Figure 1 as shown) and the track bed embedded measuring terminal 4 (as shown Figure 2 , 3As shown); wherein the flat steel 3 is arranged parallel to the transverse steel bars of the steel mesh 1 and is welded to all the longitudinal steel bars of the steel mesh 1; and one end of the embedded connection terminal 2 ( Figure 1 The right end in the middle) and one end of the flat steel 3 ( Figure 1 The other end of the embedded connection terminal 2 is connected to the inner end of the ballast embedded measurement terminal 4 provided in the concrete at the ballast structure, that is, Figure 2 The lower end of the embedded measuring terminal 4 is vertically buried in the concrete of the track bed structure. Note that the top surface of the embedded measuring terminal 4 is 3 to 5 mm higher than the upper surface of the concrete to prevent the upper surface of the embedded measuring terminal 4 from being submerged in the concrete.

[0020] Depend on Figure 3 It can be clearly seen that the embedded measuring terminal 4 of the ballast bed is composed of a galvanized round steel 5 with a diameter not less than Φ25mm and a top copper terminal 7 connected by a conductive joint 6. The top of the top copper terminal 7 is provided with M12 bolt holes 3 to 5 with a hole depth of 25mm.

[0021] The installation position of the measuring terminal of the column type integral roadbed of the parking lot is as follows Figure 4 As shown, when the roadbed is an integral roadbed of a parking lot, there are multiple roadbed embedded measuring terminals 4, which are respectively arranged on a column or wall adjacent to an expansion joint, and the roadbed embedded measuring terminals 4 are installed on the outer side of the column or wall; the roadbed embedded measuring terminals 4 on both sides of the expansion joint are connected by Figure 6 The cables 8 shown are connected to form a loop. The flat steel 3 here uses 50×8mm galvanized flat steel of not less than 200mm and is welded in parallel with the transverse steel bars, with a welding length of not less than 180mm and a weld thickness of 6mm, and is welded with the crossed longitudinal steel bars. The embedded connection terminal 2 is led out from the galvanized flat steel, and the embedded connection terminal 2 is welded with the galvanized flat steel, with a welding length of not less than 180mm and a weld thickness of 6mm.

[0022] refer to Figure 5 When measuring stray current, the stray current is measured by using a measuring terminal 9 (the same structure and electrical setting as the embedded measuring terminal 4 in the ballast) pre-buried on the wall or column, in conjunction with a preset reference electrode hole 10, with the help of a meter (such as an ammeter). The stray current is obtained and compared with the reference current to determine whether it meets the standard. When the stray current does not meet the standard, the stray current can be used to quickly locate the place where the accident occurred (determining the point based on leakage is a common technology in this field and will not be repeated here), and certain measures are taken to minimize the possible consequences.

[0023] In summary, it is not difficult to see that the subway track stray current monitoring system provided in the above embodiments has a simple structure, can monitor the stray current in a timely and effective manner, conveniently and quickly locate the accident site, and can effectively solve the existing track DC traction power supply system, the problem of stray current corrosion to subway metal pipelines and structural steel bars and the problem of spreading outside the subway.
