Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection equipment, in particular to a contact line detection device which utilizes a lever to amplify an error. Background Art
[0002] Due to the influence of factors such as friction during the operation of high-speed rail, the contact wire will wear over time. According to the "High-speed Rail Contact Network Maintenance Operation Guide", once the wear of the contact wire reaches 15%, a warning needs to be issued; when the wear exceeds 20%, the contact wire needs to be replaced. Therefore, we need a method that can accurately and effectively detect the wear of the contact wire. At present, the existing contact wire wear detection method has the problem of being unable to detect minor wear during detection, because the wear of the contact wire is small, and the existing detection device is difficult to detect the wear with high accuracy.

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0020] With the development of electrified railway systems, the contact wire 1, as an important component, undertakes the key task of transmitting electricity. Therefore, the production quality requirements for the contact wire 1 are high, including material and process. Before the contact wire 1 leaves the factory, it is necessary to strictly test its various indicators, including diameter, hardness, tensile strength, wear resistance and aging resistance.
[0021] Embodiment 1:
[0022] Based on the technical defects of low detection efficiency, accuracy and reliability of existing technologies, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 The utility model provides a contact line detection device that uses a lever to magnify the error, which can more efficiently detect the wear position and degree of the contact line 1, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency and low information level of the existing detection device, and under the action of the lever detection unit, the wear amount of the wear position can be amplified, and slight wear can be detected, which has the advantages of high accuracy and reliability. The device includes two groups of walking wheels 2 that are above the contact line 1 and in vertical rolling contact with the contact line 1, the two groups of walking wheels 2 are respectively fixed to two groups of walking wheel fixing rods 3, and both ends of the walking wheel fixing rods 3 are rotatably connected to the walking wheel bracket 5 through walking wheel bearings 6, the walking wheel bracket 5 is fixed to the support frame 11, and the bottom of the contact line 1 is provided with a lever detection unit installed on the support frame 11; the device is installed on the contact line 1, and then a driving motor can be installed on the top of one of the walking wheel brackets 5 to make the walking wheel 2 move along the contact line 1, thereby driving the overall movement, and during the movement, the lever detection unit can be used to detect the wear of the contact line 1.
[0023] To detect the wear of the contact wire 1, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2The lever detection unit includes a needle roller 18 that rolls in contact with the bottom of the contact line 1. Both ends of the needle roller 18 are rotatably connected to the base 16 through needle bearings 17. The base 16 is fixed to one end of the lever assembly. The lever assembly is mounted on the support frame 11. The other end of the lever assembly is between two through-beam photoelectric sensors 7. Both through-beam photoelectric sensors 7 are mounted on the support frame 11 through through-beam photoelectric sensor brackets 12. Under the action of the lever assembly, the needle roller 18 at one end of the lever assembly can always roll in contact with the bottom of the contact line 1. When encountering a position where the contact line 1 is severely worn, the needle roller 18 moves upward, and the other end of the lever assembly moves downward and blocks the light emitted by the through-beam photoelectric sensor 7, thereby generating an alarm message.
[0024] To detect minor wear, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 The lever assembly includes a connecting rod 13 having one end fixed to a base 16, a support fixing rod 14 is fixed to an outer wall of the connecting rod 13 close to the base 16, a torsion spring 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the support fixing rod 14 and is rotatably connected to a support 4, and the support 4 is fixed to a support frame 11; when the roller needle 18 connected to one end of the connecting rod 13 moves upward, the movement amplitude of the other end of the connecting rod 13 can be amplified, thereby being more easily detected by the through-beam photoelectric sensor 7.
[0025] In order to solve the error problem in the detection process, the other end of the connecting rod 13 is located above the two opposing photoelectric sensors 7; a distance is left between the connecting rod 13 and the opposing photoelectric sensor 7, and the distance is the allowable error in the detection. Once the error is exceeded, an alarm will be immediately issued.
[0026] Embodiment 2:

[0028] In order to monitor the wear of the contact wire 1 in real time, the control unit 8 is electrically connected to the two through-beam photoelectric sensors 7 ; when the two through-beam photoelectric sensors 7 are blocked, a signal can be sent to the control unit 8 .

At the same time, it can also remind relevant personnel to carry out timely maintenance and replacement work by issuing an alarm.
[0030] It can be known from the above embodiments that: the device is installed on the contact line 1, and then a driving motor can be installed on the top of one of the walking wheel brackets 5 to make the walking wheel 2 move along the contact line 1, thereby driving the overall movement.

The alarm message is marked at the position by the control unit 8 and the marking information is sent to the cloud control center.
