Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a field, in particular to a relative position positioning device for a steel rail and a catenary pole based on a point laser. Background Technique

[0002] In China, seamless tracks are generally adopted for high-speed railways. This method has no rail joints, greatly reducing vibration and effectively improving the track structure. However, due to the absence of rail gaps, the steel rails cannot freely expand and contract when the temperature changes, resulting in large temperature stresses inside the steel rails. When the fastener pressure is not sufficient to offset the temperature stress, the steel rails will undergo longitudinal displacement. When the temperature rises, it is easy to cause rail buckling and runway, and when the temperature drops, it is easy to have rail breaks, posing a great safety hazard to operating trains.

[0003] At present, the main methods for measuring the longitudinal displacement of steel rails are: the manual wire-pulling method with displacement observation piles, observing the longitudinal displacement of steel rails with optical instruments, establishing a non-linear mechanical equation set of steel rails to solve the distribution and displacement of longitudinal forces of steel rails, and laser measurement of the longitudinal displacement of steel rails, etc.

[0004] The measurement accuracy of the wire-pulling measurement method can generally only reach within ±5 mm, and the workload is large, requiring more than two people for measurement; the operation of an optical theodolite is complex and inconvenient to use; the equipment required for the laser measurement method and the optoelectronic technology measurement method is expensive and the use cost is high. At present, several methods for detecting the creep displacement of steel rails based on machine vision have been successively proposed, but these all require burying detection devices on both sides of the railway shoulder. This method has a high cost and great difficulty in manual maintenance. The detection position is relatively fixed. When measurement is required at other positions on the line, the detection device needs to be reinstalled repeatedly, and there are certain risks in installation and on-site measurement.

[0005] In railway maintenance sites, the creep of steel rails is mainly detected by using observation piles buried on both sides of the line. The position deviation of the steel rail marking points relative to the observation piles is observed through observation tools, and the creep amount of the steel rails at a certain line section during a certain period is obtained by comparing the two observation results. This method not only has a high labor cost, but also the detection accuracy is affected by factors such as manual detection experience and equipment status, with low detection efficiency and difficult to guarantee repeatability.

[0006] Aiming at the problem of detecting the longitudinal displacement of seamless track steel rails, both the manual wire-pulling method with displacement observation piles and the optical instrument observation method with displacement observation piles need to bury displacement observation piles on both sides of the line and are jointly operated by 3 to 4 people to complete the operation. They have the disadvantages of high input cost, low efficiency, and high labor intensity, and the buried displacement observation piles are easy to move and have too many human factors, resulting in low measurement accuracy. Although the existing laser measurement method for the longitudinal displacement of steel rails has been improved compared with the manual wire-pulling method with displacement observation piles and the optical instrument observation method with displacement observation piles, there are still problems such as poor measurement accuracy, complex operation, and poor safety performance, and it cannot meet the requirements of high-efficiency and high-precision measurement work for high-speed railways.
