[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of catenary power supply, in particular to a one-way conduction device. Background Art
[0002] The catenary of urban rail transit tram is divided into sections for power supply. Generally, the traction power supply system of urban rail transit tram is a DC overhead catenary power supply mode, using the rail as the channel for traction return current. The rail is directly installed on the integral roadbed and isolated by anti-vibration insulation pads and the structural steel bars of the roadbed. During operation, due to sewage, dust, metal powder, and ballast adsorbed on the anti-vibration insulation pads, the leakage impedance between the rail and the integral roadbed is reduced, and the return current in the rail flows into the integral roadbed through these polluted substances, generating stray current. The stray current uses the structural steel bars in the integral roadbed, tunnel, and viaduct of the subway as the path. When the stray current leaves the metal path, it will corrode the metal. If the anti-corrosion measures for stray current are not well done, it will corrode the structural steel bars of the subway. Content of the Utility Model

[0019] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a unidirectional conduction device includes a disconnecting switch 2, a thyristor group 6, and a unidirectional conduction unit 7. The disconnecting switch 2 is installed in parallel at both ends of the insulating joint 1, and both the thyristor group 6 and the unidirectional conduction unit 7 are connected in parallel with the disconnecting switch 2. The thyristor group 6 is also connected in parallel with the unidirectional conduction unit 7. The thyristor group 6 is electrically connected to the control module, and a Hall current sensor a3 and a fuse a4 are also connected to the branch where the thyristor group 6 is located. By connecting the device in parallel at the insulating joint 1 of the rail, the electrolytic corrosion of the structure and metal pipelines caused by stray current in the protected section is reduced. At the same time, the rail potential of the parking garage and the maintenance garage is lowered to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel. Moreover, the unidirectional conduction unit 7 conducts in the forward direction and cuts off in the reverse direction. Under the action of the thyristor group, it is ensured that the arc generated at the rail insulating joint 1 will not burn the rail under any circumstances of the train. Specifically, the model of the disconnecting switch 2 is 3000A single-pole, and its main function is to electrically connect the rails at both ends of the insulating joint 1 when the disconnecting switch 2 is closed under special operation modes. The model of the Hall current sensor a3 is WBI221QN05-P2D / ±2000A / ±5V / DC±12V, and its main function is to detect the current in the thyristor group in real time, so as to provide a basis for whether the thyristor group discharges; the model of the fuse a4 is DC3000A, and its main function is to protect the thyristor group from being broken down. In this embodiment, when on a general tunnel line, the positive pole of the unidirectional conduction device is connected to the above-ground rail of the vehicle depot, and the negative pole is connected to the underground main line rail. When the train runs on the underground main line, it is not allowed for the train current to flow back to the vehicle depot or the train depot. When the train departs from the depot in the morning, the train current can flow back to the traction substation through the unidirectional conduction device. When in the tunnel immersed tube section under the river, the positive pole of the unidirectional conduction device is connected to the underground rail of the tunnel immersed tube section, and the negative pole is connected to the rail outside the immersed tube section. When the train runs in the tunnel immersed tube section, the train current flows back to the traction substation through the unidirectional conduction device, and when the train runs in the section outside the tunnel immersed tube, the train current flows back to the traction substation through the return cable parallel to the rail.
[0020] Further, the unidirectional conduction unit 7 includes a diode, a Hall current sensor b, and a fuse b. One end of the diode is connected to the A end of the insulating joint 1, the other end of the diode is connected to one end of the Hall current sensor b, the other end of the Hall current sensor b is connected to the fuse b, and the other end of the fuse b is connected to the B end of the insulating joint 1. Specifically, there are five unidirectional conduction units 7. The model of the diode 12 is 3500A / 2000V, and its main function is to realize the unidirectional conduction of the traction power supply circuit. The model of the Hall current sensor b13 is WBI221QN05-P2D / ±1000A / ±5V / DC±12V, and its main function is to detect the current in the diode 12 in real time; the model of the fuse b14 is DC1000A, and its main function is to protect the diode 12 from being broken down.
[0021] In this embodiment, a voltage sensor 5 is further included, and the voltage sensor 5 is connected in parallel with the insulating joint 1. Specifically, the model of the voltage sensor 5 is WBV151S01 / ±200V / 5±5V / 24V, and its main function is to detect the circuit voltage in real time.
[0022] Furthermore, a varistor 8 is further included, and the varistor 8 is connected in parallel with the insulating joint 1. Specifically, the model of the varistor 8 is 1100V 5kA, and its main function is that when the voltage sensor 5 detects that the voltage between the A end and the B end exceeds 1100V, the varistor 8 conducts instantaneously, thereby protecting the diode and the thyristor group 6.
[0023] Still further, a protection resistor 9 and a protection capacitor 10 are further included. The protection resistor 9 and the protection capacitor 10 are both connected in parallel with the insulating joint 1, and the protection resistor 9 and the protection capacitor 10 are connected in series. Specifically, the model of the protection resistor 9 is 10Ω-25W, and the model of the protection capacitor 10 is 2500V / 0.47μf. The main functions of the two are to suppress the inrush current and protect the diode and the thyristor group 6. In this embodiment, the thyristor group 6 includes a thyristor a and a thyristor b. The thyristor a and the thyristor b are connected in parallel, and the conduction directions of the thyristor a and the thyristor b are opposite. The thyristor a and the thyristor b are both electrically connected to the control module. Specifically, the models of the thyristor a6 and the thyristor b7 are 3000A / 2000V, and their main function is to prevent an arc from being formed when the train passes through the insulating joint 1. That is, when the voltage reaches the arcing voltage, the thyristor conducts. That is to say, due to the inconsistent power supply and load conditions of the traction substations on both sides of the insulating joint 1, there may be a certain voltage difference at both ends of the insulating joint 1. If the train passes through the insulating joint 1, when the voltage difference and current on both sides of the insulating joint 1 reach a certain value, an arc will be formed. In order to prevent the arc from affecting the insulating joint 1 circuit, when the train passes through the insulating joint 1, the voltage sensor 5 detects the reverse voltage of the insulating joint 1. When the reverse voltage reaches the arcing voltage, the control module triggers the corresponding thyristor to conduct reversely. After the train passes through the insulating joint 1, the thyristor turns off and the device resumes normal operation.
[0024] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
