Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of railway detection, in particular to a vehicle-mounted seamless line rail displacement detection device based on a planar target. Background Technique

[0002] In China, high-speed railways generally adopt seamless lines. This method has no rail joints, greatly reducing vibration and effectively improving the track structure. However, due to the absence of rail gaps, the rails cannot freely expand and contract when the temperature changes, resulting in large temperature stresses inside the rails. When the fastener pressure is insufficient to offset the temperature stress, the rails will undergo longitudinal displacement. When the temperature rises, it is easy to cause rail buckling and track creep, 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 rails are: the manual wire-pulling method with displacement observation piles, observing the longitudinal displacement of rails with optical instruments, establishing a non-linear mechanical equation set of rails to solve the distribution and displacement of longitudinal forces of rails, and measuring the longitudinal displacement of rails with lasers, 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 rail creep displacement based on machine vision have been successively proposed, but these all require detecting devices to be buried on both sides of the road shoulder of the track. This method has a high cost and great difficulty in manual maintenance. The detection positions are relatively fixed. When measurements are needed at other positions on the line, the detection devices need to be reinstalled, and there are certain risks in installation and on-site measurement.

[0005] In railway maintenance sites, the rail creep is mainly detected by the observation piles buried on both sides of the line. The position deviation of the rail marking points relative to the observation piles is observed through observation tools, and the rail creep amount of a certain line section at a certain time 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 line 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 3 - 4 people operate together to complete the operation, having the disadvantages of high input cost, low efficiency, and high labor intensity, etc. Moreover, the buried displacement observation piles are easy to move and there are too many human factors, resulting in low measurement accuracy. Although the existing laser measurement method for the longitudinal displacement of 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.
