[0002] In the urban rail transit signal system, the operating company couples different unit trains according to operational needs to form a new train set for operation. Before the train leaves the factory, the on-board signal system needs to be statically debugged to ensure that when each car is in the coupled state, the equipment installation, line connection, software configuration parameter loading, etc. are correct, and the train is equipped with a coupling coupler. In the prior art, such as the invention patent CN110001703A, which discloses a train coupling auxiliary guidance system, method, and coupled train integrity monitoring method, two trains need to cooperate to carry out coupling debugging, and according to the management regulations of the subway company, the movement of the train needs to apply for the cooperation of multiple cars for debugging, which requires more manpower and material resources, a longer time period, a wider range of impact, and low debugging efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a static debugging device for flexible train formation, which solves the problem of low debugging efficiency in the prior art and improves debugging efficiency.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a static debugging device for flexible train formation, including a simulation box, the simulation box including a train simulation module, a signal module, a power module and a coupling module, the train simulation module, signal module, power module and coupling module are interconnected, the signal module is used to connect to the mobile terminal signal, the coupling module is used to connect the train's coupling vehicle for coupling formation debugging, and the power module is used to power the train simulation module, signal module and coupling module.

[0005] After adopting the above technical solution, the utility model has the following advantages: a real train is simulated by a simulation box, and when the debugged train is stationary, other trains are replaced and coupled with the debugged train to form a new train formation, which supports static debugging of the debugged train. The simulation box is relatively small in size and relatively simple to operate. During the application process, the unknown safety risks brought by the coupling of EMUs can be effectively avoided. Coupling debugging can be carried out at any time during the static debugging of the train, and there is no need to apply for an operation point for coupling and uncoupling operations, which reduces the work process, reduces the scope of operation impact, reduces the investment in manpower, material resources and time costs, and improves debugging efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, a movable pulley is installed at the bottom of the simulation box.

[0007] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the movable pulley can make the simulation box move easily on various surfaces, reduce the burden of moving the simulation box, and facilitate the movement of the simulation box to conduct coupling and marshaling tests on the head and tail ends of the train and different trains.

[0008] Furthermore, the simulation box also includes a locking device arranged on one side of the movable pulley, which is used to prevent the movable pulley from rotating freely in the locked state, and an operating component connected to the locking device, which is used to manually switch the working state of the locking device.

[0009] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the locking device can prevent the movable pulley from rotating freely in the locked state, ensuring that the simulation box remains stable during the coupled marshaling test, thereby making the train more stable during the coupled marshaling test.

[0010] Furthermore, the simulation box is provided with a handle which is convenient for moving the simulation box.

[0011] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the handle enables the user to easily lift or pull the simulation box, making it easier for the user to control and carry the box, and conveniently move the simulation box to perform coupled marshaling tests on the head and tail ends of the train and different trains.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting module and the simulation box are detachably connected.

[0013] With the aforementioned technical solution, the detachable connection between the hanging module and the simulation box allows the user to easily add, remove or replace the hanging module as needed, which means that the user can quickly adjust the functional configuration of the simulation box according to different usage scenarios or needs.

[0014] Furthermore, the coupling module includes a first end coupled to a coupling vehicle of the train, and a second end detachably connected to the simulation box. The simulation box is provided with a plurality of coupling interfaces, and the second end is connected to one of the coupling interfaces.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, multiple coupling interfaces allow users to connect multiple coupling modules at the same time, which means that the simulation box can support multiple functions or tasks, simulate multiple vehicles for coupling debugging at the same time, and further improve test efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, the first end includes a mechanical hook and an electrical hook.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the mechanical hook can provide a stable physical connection, ensuring a firm mechanical connection between the coupling module and the train, and ensuring the coupling and marshaling debugging between the electrical hook and the train.

[0018] Furthermore, a connecting wire is provided between the first end and the second end.

[0019] The above technical solution provides additional flexibility for the coupling line, allowing the coupling module to move within a certain range to adapt to different connection requirements. It also allows the coupling module to have a certain amount of room for movement when coupling with the simulation box and the train, reducing connection problems caused by alignment difficulties and enabling long-distance coupling.

[0020] Furthermore, the connecting interface is connected to the signal module and the power module at the same time, and the connecting line is plugged into the connecting interface through the second end.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the signal module and the power module can be connected simultaneously through a single connection interface, which reduces the need for multiple independent connection points and makes the connection process simpler and faster.

[0022] Furthermore, the power module includes a battery and a charging port for external plug-in, and the charging port is electrically connected to the battery.

[0023] With the above technical solution, the built-in battery enables the power module to be independently powered without relying on an external power source, thereby enhancing the portability and mobility of the module and making it suitable for use in a variety of occasions. The external plug-in charging port allows users to charge the battery anywhere there is a power source without having to remove the battery, thereby improving the convenience of charging. When the external power source is unavailable, the battery can quickly provide power to ensure that the system resumes normal operation in a short time, thereby improving emergency response capabilities.

[0036] The following specific embodiments are used to describe the technical solution of the present invention in detail. The following specific embodiments can be combined or replaced with each other according to actual conditions, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a static debugging device for flexible train formation, including a simulation box 10, the simulation box 10 includes a train simulation module 11, a signal module 12, a power module 17 and a coupling module 13, the train simulation module 11, the signal module 12, the power module 17 and the coupling module 13 are interconnected, the signal module 12 is used to connect to the mobile terminal signal, the coupling module 13 is used to connect the train's coupling vehicle to perform coupling formation debugging, and the power module 17 is used to power the train simulation module 11, the signal module 12 and the coupling module 13.

[0038] The simulation box 10 simulates a real train. When the debugged train is stationary, it replaces other trains and is coupled with the debugged train to form a new train formation, supporting the debugged train to perform static debugging. The simulation box 10 is relatively small in size and relatively simple to operate. During the application process, it can effectively avoid the unknown safety risks brought by the coupling of EMUs. During the static debugging of the train, coupling debugging can be carried out at any time. There is no need to apply for an operation point for coupling and uncoupling operations, which reduces the work process, reduces the scope of operation impact, reduces the investment in manpower, material resources and time costs, and improves debugging efficiency.

[0039] It should be noted that the train simulation module 11 is primarily implemented through software and includes a fault injection function during debugging. The signal module 12 is primarily used to connect to a laptop computer, remotely controlling the function settings of the flexible train formation static debugging device, displaying the coupling status, and displaying the test completion. Of course, it can also be connected to mobile terminals such as mobile phones. The signal module 12 can be a data interface 19. The power module 17 includes a battery and a charging port 18 for external plugging. The charging port 18 is electrically connected to the battery. The built-in battery allows the power module 17 to be independently powered without relying on an external power source, enhancing the module's portability and mobility, making it suitable for use in a variety of situations. The external charging port 18 allows users to charge the battery anywhere there is a power source without having to remove the battery, improving charging convenience. When the external power source is unavailable, the battery can quickly provide power, ensuring that the system can resume normal operation in a short time, improving emergency response capabilities. The train simulation module, signal module, power module, and coupling module are interconnected, which means they are electrically connected to each other.

[0040] In order to facilitate the movement of the simulation box 10, a moving pulley 14 is installed at the bottom of the simulation box 10. The moving pulley 14 allows the simulation box 10 to be easily moved on various ground surfaces, reducing the burden of moving the simulation box 10 and facilitating the movement of the simulation box 10 to perform coupling and marshaling tests on the head end 23, the tail end 24 and different trains.

[0041] Furthermore, the simulation box 10 is provided with a handle 15 that facilitates movement of the simulation box 10. The handle 15 allows the user to easily lift or pull the simulation box 10, making it easier for the user to control and carry the box, and conveniently moving the simulation box 10 to perform coupled marshaling tests on the head end 23 and tail end 24 of the train, as well as on different trains. Preferably, the handle 15 is located at the top of the simulation box 10 for easy grip.

[0042] Since the movable pulley 14 is easily moved by external force, the connection between the simulation box 10 and the train may be disconnected. Therefore, the simulation box 10 also includes a locking device arranged on one side of the movable pulley 14, which is used to prevent the movable pulley 14 from rotating freely in the locked state, and an operating component connected to the locking device, which is used to manually switch the working state of the locking device.

[0043] Specifically, the locking device includes a rotating shaft hole provided on the movable pulley 14, and a movable locking pin provided on the simulation box 10. The locking pin has a locking position in which it is inserted into the rotating shaft hole to prevent the movable pulley 14 from rotating, and an unlocking position in which it is disengaged from the rotating shaft hole to allow the movable pulley 14 to rotate. The operating component includes a button and a connecting rod provided on the simulation box 10. The locking pin and the button are connected by the connecting rod and are used to transmit the force generated by the operating button to switch the movable pulley 14 between the locked position and the unlocked position. When in the locked position, the locking pin prevents the movable pulley 14 from rotating, ensuring that the simulation box 10 is stable and motionless when stationary, thereby making the train more stable when undergoing coupled marshaling tests.

[0044] It should be noted that the simulation box 10 can also be moved with the help of external moving tools such as a mobile cart, which makes movement more convenient.

[0045] Since different trains may have different types of couplings, in order to improve adaptability, the coupling module 13 and the simulation box 10 are detachably connected. The detachable connection between the coupling module 13 and the simulation box 10 allows the user to easily add, remove or replace the coupling module 13 as needed, which means that the user can quickly adjust the functional configuration of the simulation box 10 according to different usage scenarios or needs.

[0046] Specifically, the coupling module 13 includes a first end 131 coupled to the train's trailer, and a second end 132 detachably connected to the simulation box 10. The simulation box 10 is provided with multiple coupling interfaces 16, and the second end 132 is connected to one of the coupling interfaces 16. The multiple coupling interfaces 16 allow users to connect multiple coupling modules 13 at the same time, which means that the simulation box 10 can support multiple functions or tasks, simulate multiple vehicles for coupling debugging at the same time, and further improve test efficiency.

[0047] Among them, the first end 131 includes a mechanical hook 133 and an electrical hook 134. The mechanical hook 133 can provide a stable physical connection, ensure that the coupling module 13 and the train are firmly combined at the mechanical level, and ensure the coupling and marshaling debugging between the electrical hook 134 and the train.

[0048] The connecting coupler on a train includes a male and female hook cone, an electrical pin, and an electrical socket. Specifically, the mechanical hook 133 is equipped with a mating male and female cone that mate with the male and female cones. These mating cones are located on the same side of the mechanical hook 133, providing a foolproof design for the connection between the mechanical hook 133 and the train. The male and female cones are designed to simultaneously engage with the female and male cones, ensuring precise docking between the mechanical hook 133 and the train, improving the accuracy of the connection process and enabling fast and reliable connection. The electrical hook 134 is provided with a mating pin and a mating slot that are adapted to the electrical pin and the electrical slot. The mating pin and the mating slot are located on the same side of the electrical hook 134 at the same time. The mating pin and the mating slot are used to simultaneously plug and mate with the electrical slot and the electrical pin, which serves as a fool-proof design for the connection between the electrical hook 134 and the coupling coupler, helps to quickly align the electrical pin and the electrical slot on the train, simplifies the connection process, and improves the connection efficiency.

[0049] Since different trains are in different depot lines, in order to reduce the movement of the simulation box 10, a connecting line 135 is provided between the first end 131 and the second end 132. The connecting line 135 provides additional flexibility, so that the connecting module 13 can be moved within a certain range to adapt to different connection requirements, allowing the connecting module 13 to have a certain room for movement when connecting with the simulation box 10 and the train, reducing connection problems caused by alignment difficulties, and also realizing long-distance connection.

[0050] The connecting line 135 includes a network line and a circuit line. The connecting interface 16 is connected to the signal module 12 and the power module 17 at the same time. The connecting line 135 is plugged into the connecting interface 16 through the second end 132. The simultaneous connection of the signal module 12 and the power module 17 is achieved through a single connecting interface 16, reducing the need for multiple independent connection points and making the connection process simpler and faster.

[0051] When in use, the flexible marshaling static debugging device is flexibly applied in the static debugging of coupling and uncoupling. The debugged train A20 stops steadily on the depot line, and the train head end 23 and the tail end 24 need to be coupled and debugged respectively.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, step 1: the debugged train A20 stops steadily on the depot line and remains motionless. The debugger connects the coupling module 13 of the flexible marshaling static debugging device with the coupling coupler at the head end 23 of the train A20 and performs debugging.

[0053] Step 2: After the coupling debugging of the head end 23 of train A20 is completed, train A20 remains stationary, and the coupling module 13 of the flexible marshaling static debugging device and the coupling coupler of the head end 23 of train A20 are separated;

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, step 3: move the flexible marshaling static debugging device to the rear end 24 of the train A20, connect the coupling module 13 of the flexible marshaling static debugging device to the coupling coupler at the rear end 24 of the train A20, and perform debugging;

[0055] After the coupling debugging of the tail end 24 of train A20 is completed, train A20 remains stationary, the coupling module 13 of the flexible marshaling static debugging device and the coupling coupler at the head end 23 of train A20 are separated, and the coupling static debugging of train A20 is completed.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, when multiple trains need to be coupled and debugged, assuming there are 3 trains: the debugged train A20 is stopped steadily on depot line 1, the debugged train B21 is stopped steadily on depot line 2, and the debugged train C22 is stopped steadily on depot line 3. The coupling and debugging of train A20, train B21, and train C22 need to be performed separately.

[0057] Step 1: Trains A20, B21, and C22 to be debugged are stopped on depot lines 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The debugger connects the second ends 132 of the three coupling modules 13 to the three coupling interfaces 16, respectively. The first ends 131 of the three coupling modules 13 are coupled to the coupling couplers of trains A20, B21, and C22, respectively. Each train then performs its own coupling debugging.

[0058] Step 2: After the coupling debugging at one end of the train is completed, the coupling module 13 is separated and then coupled to the coupling coupler at the other end of the train, and then the coupling debugging is carried out. After all the debugging is completed, the coupling module 13 is separated and the static coupling debugging is completed.

[0059] In addition to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, the present invention has other implementation methods. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection requested by the present invention.
