Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tram charging, and more specifically, to an energy storage type tram charging system based on a laser ranging sensor. Background Art

[0002] Accurately obtaining the train arrival information (i.e., obtaining the train positioning and the voltage of the on-vehicle energy storage device) is an important basic task in the process of dynamically charging the train. Currently, the RFID radio frequency identification technology is used to obtain the train arrival information, and then the train arrival information is sent to the charging control module, and the charging control module charges the train. The RFID radio frequency identification technology is a non-contact automatic identification technology. When the signal propagates in a closed space, such as a culvert, a tunnel, an underground platform, a ground corridor and other closed space areas, due to the interference of the platform environment on the signal, the beacon signal is reflected and received multiple times, resulting in the inaccurate and unstable beacon radio frequency signal received by the reader, and the inbound and outbound signals are disordered, so that the state of the train entering and leaving the station cannot be accurately judged. Through technical means such as fault statistical analysis, principle analysis and on-site test, the disadvantages of the radio frequency detection system in the application of closed space are clarified. Almost every time the train enters the station, it is probably affected by signal interference, which seriously affects the normal charging operation of the train. Therefore, it is of great application value and very necessary to find an alternative solution for accurately obtaining the train arrival information. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is aimed at the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art. The purpose of the utility model is to provide an energy storage type tram charging system based on a laser ranging sensor, which has strong anti-interference ability, extremely short detection response time, high detection sensitivity, very low operation cost and high efficiency, and has good guarantee for the normal charging operation of the train.

[0004] The technical solution of the present utility model is: an energy storage tram charging system based on a laser ranging sensor, including a charging control module, and further including an in-station laser ranging sensor and an out-station laser ranging sensor. The in-station laser ranging sensor and the out-station laser ranging sensor are respectively installed on the top wall of the tunnel through a base and are located directly above the ground rail. The acquisition surfaces of the in-station laser ranging sensor and the out-station laser ranging sensor face downward. The distance between the in-station laser ranging sensor and the out-station laser ranging sensor is less than the length of the train.

[0011] Furthermore, a support sheet metal is provided on the top wall of the tunnel. A chute is provided in the middle of the support sheet metal. A slider is provided on the top of the base. The slider is slidably inserted into the chute and locked by a tightening bolt.

[0014] Advantageous Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] The laser ranging sensor of the present utility model is non-contact.

Specific implementation mode

[0028] The following further describes the present utility model with specific embodiments in the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Refer to Figures 1 to 10 , an energy storage tram charging system based on laser ranging sensors, including a charging control module 1, and the charging control module 1 is used to control the charger 21 to charge the train 7. The charging system also includes a laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance and a laser ranging sensor 3 at the exit. The laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance and the laser ranging sensor 3 at the exit are respectively installed on the tunnel top wall 5 through the base 4 and are located directly above the ground rail 6. The acquisition surfaces of the laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance and the laser ranging sensor 3 at the exit face downward and are used to detect the train 7. The distance between the laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance and the laser ranging sensor 3 at the exit is less than the length of the train 7. When the train 7 is in the charging position, the train 7 is directly below the charging rail 12. At this time, the horizontal distance between the laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance and the tail of the train 7 is 0.9 - 1.1 m, and the horizontal distance between the laser ranging sensor 3 at the exit and the head of the train 7 is 0.9 - 1.1 m. The laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance and the laser ranging sensor 3 at the exit are respectively communicatively connected to the charging control module 1 through the lead wire 8. The lead wire 8 is connected to the laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance and the laser ranging sensor 3 at the exit through the waterproof joint 9. Preferably, the waterproof joint 9 is an M12 waterproof joint.

[0030] The in-station laser distance sensor 2 and the out-station laser distance sensor 3 are provided with three mounting holes. Specifically, a circular hole 10 is provided in the middle of the base 4, and arc-shaped holes 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the circular hole 10. The centers of the arc-shaped holes 11 on both sides coincide with the center of the circular hole 10. The in-station laser distance sensor 2 and the out-station laser distance sensor 3 are both installed on the circular hole 10 and two arc-shaped holes 11 of the base 4 through three bolts, so that the in-station laser distance sensor 2 and the out-station laser distance sensor 3 can conveniently adjust any installation angle according to the application scenario (the in-station laser distance sensor 2 and the out-station laser distance sensor 3 can rotate around the circular hole 10 to adjust the installation angle).

[0031] In this embodiment, the specifications of the in-station laser distance sensor 2 and the out-station laser distance sensor 3 are both: detection range 5m, frequency 100HZ, and powered by DC24V voltage. The vertical distances between the in-station laser distance sensor 2, the out-station laser distance sensor 3 and the platform ground are both 4.5m.

[0032] The in-station laser distance sensor 2 and the out-station laser distance sensor 3 are installed at the central axis position of the charging rail 12.

[0033] Preferably, the number of the in-station laser distance sensors 2 is 2. The 2 in-station laser distance sensors 2 are connected in parallel, which can achieve redundant detection and prevent the charging from being affected after one in-station laser distance sensor 2 is damaged. The 2 in-station laser distance sensors 2 are respectively connected to the charging control module 1 through optocoupler communication. The number of the out-station laser distance sensors 3 is 2. The 2 out-station laser distance sensors 3 are connected in parallel. The 2 out-station laser distance sensors 3 are respectively connected to the charging control module 1 through optocoupler communication. That is, the in-station laser distance sensor 2 and the out-station laser distance sensor 3 transmit the detected train in-station signal to the charging control module 1 after optocoupler isolation.

[0034] Similarly, the 2 in-station laser distance sensors 2 and the 2 out-station laser distance sensors 3 are installed at the central axis position of the charging rail 12.

[0035] The signal lines of the existing RF card device can be fully utilized. The blue and brown are the power lines, and the black is the first-way output signal line. The detection distance effectiveness settings of the 4 laser distance sensors are shown in Table 1 below:

[0036]

[0037]

[0038] Table 1 Laser distance sensor parameter settings

[0039] In one embodiment, as Figures 6 - 9As shown in the figure, the top wall 5 of the tunnel is provided with a support sheet metal 13. A chute 14 is provided in the middle of the support sheet metal 13. A slider 15 is provided on the top of the base 4. The slider 15 is slidably inserted into the chute 14 and locked by a tightening bolt 20, which can conveniently adjust the installation position of the base 4. The support sheet metal 13 is fixed to the top wall 5 of the tunnel by expansion bolts.

[0040] This charging system further includes a voltage sensor 17 for detecting the voltage when the pantograph 16 of the train 7 contacts the charging rail 12. The voltage sensor 17 is communicatively connected to the charging control module 1.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] Figure 3 As shown in the figure, for the judgment of the train entering the station, the head feedback signal of the train when the laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance of the station detects the train entering the station, and the laser signal detection and transmission path 18 at the entrance of the station contacts the head of the train.

[0043] Figure 4 As shown in the figure, for the judgment of the vehicle completely entering the station, at this time, both the laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance of the station and the laser ranging sensor 3 at the exit of the station can detect the feedback signal of the train, that is, the laser signal detection and transmission path 18 at the entrance of the station contacts the tail of the train, and the laser signal detection and transmission path 19 at the exit of the station contacts the head of the train.

[0044] When the laser signal of the tram entering the station and the exit signal are detected simultaneously, and the voltage sensor 17 detects that the charging rail 12 receives the voltage signal of the pantograph 16, the coexistence of these three signals is used as the basis for judging the start of charging. The charging control module 1 controls the charger 21 to start charging the train 7. That is, the electric energy is sequentially charged into the battery of the train 7 through the charger 21, the charging rail 12, and the pantograph 16.

[0045] Figure 5 As shown in the figure, for the vehicle leaving the station, at this time, the laser ranging sensor 2 at the entrance of the station cannot detect the entrance signal, and the laser signal at the exit of the station remains. The system judges that the vehicle has left the station. At this time, the charging control module 1 controls the charger 21 to stop charging the train 7.

[0046] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can be made, which will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicability of the patent.
