Among them, although the point laser ranging solution has high measurement accuracy, it cannot directly obtain the limit value points on the platform contour; the line laser ranging solution can obtain the limit value points on the platform contour, but the measurement accuracy is poor and it is difficult to meet the measurement accuracy requirements of the National Railway Group for platform limits; although the image analysis solution can meet the accuracy requirements and can obtain the limit value points on the platform contour, it is limited by hardware performance and has a low sampling frequency, and cannot achieve fast continuous measurement.

[0014] The following is a further detailed description of the features of the present invention and other related features through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to facilitate understanding by technicians in the same industry:
[0015] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the marks in the figure respectively represent: 3D scanning module 1, rail vehicle fixed wheel side 2, rail vehicle cross beam 3, control and data processing terminal 4, rail vehicle moving wheel side 5, line laser emitter 1-1, line laser emitter driver 1-2, scanning module housing 1-3, 3D camera 1-4.
[0016] Example: Figure 1 As shown, the platform limit measuring instrument based on 3D scanning technology in this embodiment includes a rail car fixed wheel side 2, a rail car cross beam 3, a control and data processing terminal 4, and a rail car moving wheel side 5. The rail car as a whole can be placed above the railway track and move forward or backward along the track direction. Among them, the rail car fixed wheel side 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the rail car cross beam 3, and the rail car moving wheel side 5 is not fixedly connected to the other end of the rail car cross beam 3. The rail car moving wheel side 5 can be telescopically moved and rotated within a certain range along the axial direction of the rail car cross beam 3 to adapt to the distance and angle changes between the two rails and improve the stability of the rail car operation. The 3D scanning module 1 is installed above the fixed wheel side 2 of the rail car using a quick-release structure. The control and data processing terminal 4 is installed above the rail car cross beam 3 using a quick-release structure.
[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the 3D scanning module 1 includes a line laser emitter 1-1, a line laser emitter driver 1-2, a scanning module housing 1-3 and a 3D camera 1-4. The line laser emitter 1-1, the line laser emitter driver 1-2 and the 3D camera 1-4 are respectively installed inside the scanning module housing 1-3. The line laser emitter 1-1 and the 3D camera 1-4 maintain a specific angle and distance, and the line laser emitter 1-1 is driven to work by the line laser emitter driver 1-2. The working directions of the line laser emitter 1-1 and the 3D camera 1-4 are both toward the platform.
[0018] In this embodiment, a motor and an encoder are installed on the fixed wheel side 2 of the rail vehicle, a tilt sensor and a displacement sensor are installed on the rail vehicle cross beam 3, and a motor is installed on the moving wheel side 5 of the rail vehicle.
[0019] When in use, the rail vehicle in this embodiment is placed on the track, and the control and data processing terminal 4 controls the motors on the fixed wheel side 2 and the moving wheel side 5 of the rail vehicle to work, thereby driving the rail vehicle as a whole to move along the track. The moving wheel side 5 of the rail vehicle can adapt to the distance and angle changes between the two rails through axial movement and rotation, thereby improving the stability of the rail vehicle operation.
[0020] When the railcar moves, the encoder installed on the fixed wheel side 2 of the railcar can obtain the distance data of the railcar movement by measuring the rotation of the wheel. The inclination sensor on the railcar crossbeam 3 can obtain the inclination data of the current position of the railcar perpendicular to the track direction, and the displacement sensor can obtain the distance data between the two rails at the current position of the railcar.
[0021] The 3D scanning module 1 has the following working principle: the line laser transmitter driver 1-2 controls the line laser transmitter 1-1 to project a line laser in the vertical direction to the side of the platform. The 3D camera 1-4 captures and obtains the line laser image projected by the line laser transmitter 1-1 on the side of the platform, and further obtains the spatial coordinates of each point on the side of the platform where the line laser is located from the 3D camera 1-4 through image processing and analytical calculation, and transmits it to the control and data processing terminal 4.
[0022] The control and data processing terminal 4 stores the spatial coordinates of each point where the line laser is located from the 3D cameras 1-4, the inclination data of the current position of the rail vehicle perpendicular to the track direction, and the distance data between the two rails.
[0023] The platform limit dimensions at the current position of the rail vehicle can be calculated through the collected data.
[0024] When this embodiment is implemented, it can realize over-limit early warning prompts and over-limit alarms. Combined with the distance data of the rail car movement, a three-dimensional point cloud of the platform contour line is generated. The processing results of various data collected at all positions during the movement of the rail car are integrated to generate a three-dimensional point cloud of the side of the platform. The three-dimensional point cloud of the side of the platform is placed in the station scene model to realize the three-dimensional display of the platform surface measurement results in the station scene. Other functions can be expanded for use.
[0025] Although the above embodiments have described the concepts and embodiments of the purpose of the utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, ordinary technicians in this field can recognize that various improvements and modifications can still be made to the utility model without departing from the scope of the claims, so they are not described one by one here.
