Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rail transit motor vehicle axle box temperature sensors, in particular to a novel temperature sensor protection structure. Background Art
[0002] Currently, some railway freight cars are equipped with axle temperature monitoring systems, which monitor axle temperatures in real time and generate alarms when bearing faults occur. These systems typically consist of a temperature alarm host and sensors. By detecting rapid temperature rises in the running parts of the freight car, which could signal a fault, they promptly issue audible and visual alarms, prompting the driver to take appropriate measures and prevent major accidents. The system records temperature changes and fault conditions at various monitored locations on the locomotive. These systems typically utilize 485, MVB, Ethernet, or other communication methods to communicate with other instruments, or feature local displays for data and alarms. Some models also offer data transfer to storage devices, providing real-time data for ground-based maintenance and technical analysis. Freight cars operate in challenging environments, necessitating a more adaptable axle temperature monitoring system.
[0003] The axle-end integrated speed sensor technology used in the CRH5 EMUs currently in operation all utilizes NXP's KMI 15 series sensor chips. This sensor technology has the following drawbacks: While the existing CRH5 EMU axle temperature sensors meet IP68 protection, they cannot withstand the multi-angle, high-temperature, and high-pressure water jet flushing required for winter de-icing and snow removal. A new axle temperature sensor that can meet these requirements is needed. Utility Model Content
