Obviously, the drawings described below are merely embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of another pressure switch testing device provided by the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The core of the utility model is to provide a pressure switch testing device and vehicle. This solution first controls the switch module to open through the controller to allow air to enter the air pipe where the pressure switch is located, and collects the status of the pressure switch after air intake through the pressure switch action detection plug and the pressure of the pressure switch through the pressure sensor. Finally, the controller will promptly determine whether the pressure switch has failed based on the status of the pressure switch and the pressure of the pressure switch, and promptly determine whether the rail vehicle where the pressure switch is located has failed.
[0027] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a pressure switch testing device provided by the present invention. The pressure switch testing device comprises: a pressure sensor 1, a controller 2, a pressure switch action detection plug 3 and a switch module 4;
[0029] The pressure switch action detection plug 3 is connected to the pressure switch and is used to collect the status of the pressure switch;
[0030] The pressure sensor 1 is connected to the pressure switch and is used to collect the pressure of the pressure switch;
[0031] The first end of the switch module 4 is connected to the external air source, and the second end is connected to the air pipeline where the pressure switch is located;
[0032] The controller 2 is connected to the pressure sensor 1, the pressure switch action detection plug 3, and the control end of the switch module 4 respectively, and is used to determine whether the pressure switch fails based on the state of the pressure switch and the pressure of the pressure switch.
[0033] In the present invention, considering that whether a pressure switch fails is related to the pressure when the pressure switch is actuated, the present application provides a pressure switch testing device, and the pressure switch testing device is provided with a pressure sensor 1, a controller 2, a pressure switch actuation detection plug 3, and a switch module 4. In order to make the pressure switch work in the actuation state, the controller 2 needs to first control the switch module 4 to turn on. Because the switch module 4 is arranged between the external air source and the air pipeline where the pressure switch is located, when the switch module 4 is turned on, air from the external air source will enter the air pipeline where the pressure switch is located. At this time, it is necessary to collect the state of the pressure switch after air intake through the pressure switch actuation detection plug 3. If the state of the pressure switch is in the actuation state, the pressure of the pressure switch can be collected through the pressure sensor 1, and the collected pressure can be compared with the standard pressure to determine whether the pressure switch has failed, and further determine whether the rail vehicle where the pressure switch is located has failed. Similarly, if the state of the pressure switch after air intake collected by the pressure switch actuation detection plug 3 is not in the actuation state, then even if the pressure of the pressure switch collected by the pressure sensor 1 matches the standard pressure, the controller 2 will determine that the pressure switch has failed, and further determine that the rail vehicle where the pressure switch is located has failed.
[0034] It should be noted that if Figure 2 As shown, the pressure switch test device is connected to the rail vehicle air line test point and pressure switch via a pressure sensor 1 and a pressure switch actuation detection plug 3, respectively. A control unit controls the solenoid valve's inflation and deflation, changing the air line pressure. The pressure switch actuation detection plug 3 detects the pressure switch's actuation status. Upon detecting actuation, the control unit detects and records the current pressure value via pressure sensor 1 and sends it to a handheld terminal for comparison with a preset standard value to generate the test result. This enables detection of the pressure switch's actuation pressure. A wireless module is incorporated into the control unit, enabling wireless networking and unified control from a handheld terminal. This demonstrates the testing of pressure switches on multiple rail vehicle trains.
[0035] This embodiment provides a pressure switch testing device, which is provided with a pressure sensor 1, a controller 2, a pressure switch action detection plug 3 and a switch module 4. This solution first controls the switch module 4 to open through the controller 2 to allow air to enter the air pipeline where the pressure switch is located, and collects the state of the pressure switch after air intake through the pressure switch action detection plug 3 and the pressure of the pressure switch through the pressure sensor 1. Finally, the controller 2 will promptly determine whether the pressure switch has failed based on the state of the pressure switch and the pressure of the pressure switch, and promptly determine whether the rail vehicle where the pressure switch is located has failed.
[0036] Based on the above embodiment:
[0037] As an optional embodiment, the switch module 4 is a solenoid valve, the control end of the solenoid valve is connected to the controller 2, the first end of the solenoid valve is connected to the external air source, and the second end of the solenoid valve is connected to the air pipeline where the pressure switch is located.
[0038] In the present invention, considering that the solenoid valve has the characteristics of fast operation, high reliability, long service life, low price, simple structure, easy installation and maintenance, this solution adopts the solenoid valve as the switch module 4, and the controller 2 controls the opening of the solenoid valve to control the air in the external air source to enter the air pipeline where the pressure switch is located, which is convenient for subsequent detection of pressure switch failures.
[0039] As an optional embodiment, the solenoid valve includes:
[0040] The coil is connected to the controller 2 and is used to control the closing of the movable contact of the normally open contact and the static contact of the normally open contact after receiving the electrical signal transmitted by the controller 2;
[0041] The moving contact of the normally open contact is connected to the external gas source;
[0042] The static contact of the normally open contact is connected to the air pipeline where the pressure switch is located.
[0043] In the present invention, the solenoid valve includes a coil and a normally open contact, wherein the controller 2 controls the solenoid valve by transmitting an electrical signal to the coil of the solenoid valve. When the controller 2 transmits an electrical signal to the coil of the solenoid valve, the coil of the solenoid valve is energized and then closes the moving contact of the normally open contact and the static contact of the normally open contact; conversely, if the controller 2 does not transmit an electrical signal to the coil of the solenoid valve, the coil of the solenoid valve is not energized and will not close the moving contact of the normally open contact and the static contact of the normally open contact. The solenoid valve has a simple structure and fast operation, which improves the efficiency of the solution.
[0044] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:
[0045] The alarm module is connected to the controller 2 and is used to issue a corresponding alarm after the controller 2 determines that the pressure switch has failed based on the state of the pressure switch and the pressure of the pressure switch.
[0046] In the present utility model, an alarm module is also provided in the pressure switch testing device. When the controller 2 determines that the pressure switch has failed based on the state of the pressure switch and the pressure of the pressure switch, an alarm is issued to promptly remind the user that the pressure switch has failed, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance as soon as possible, avoiding failure of the rail vehicle due to long-term failure of the pressure switch, and improving the safety of the solution.
[0047] As an optional embodiment, the alarm module is a sound alarm module and / or a display alarm module.
[0048] In the present invention, the alarm module can adopt a sound alarm module, that is, when the controller 2 determines that the pressure switch has failed based on the state of the pressure switch and the pressure of the pressure switch, a sound alarm is issued; similarly, the alarm module can also adopt a display alarm module, that is, when the controller 2 determines that the pressure switch has failed based on the state of the pressure switch and the pressure of the pressure switch, a display alarm is issued; the alarm module can also adopt a sound alarm module and a display alarm module, that is, when the controller 2 determines that the pressure switch has failed based on the state of the pressure switch and the pressure of the pressure switch, a sound alarm and a display alarm are issued. The user can be more clearly reminded of the failure of the pressure switch at this time by means of sound alarm and / or display alarm.
[0049] As an optional embodiment, the controller 2 includes:
[0050] The controller 2 body and the wireless communication module are wirelessly connected to the terminal.
[0051] In the present invention, considering that the rail vehicles in the prior art usually have a train of 6 to 8 formations, the corresponding pressure switches are numerous and widely distributed. Therefore, considering the actual detection of pressure switches in multiple rail vehicles, selecting a controller 2 that can communicate wirelessly is more convenient for networking multiple wireless controllers 2 to simultaneously detect the pressure switches of multiple rail vehicles. Therefore, this solution also provides a wireless communication module in the controller 2 body, and the wireless communication module is wirelessly connected to the terminal, that is, the pressure switch detection results can be wirelessly transmitted to the terminal, which greatly improves the degree of automation of the solution, eliminates the need for manual labor, improves test efficiency, and greatly reduces test costs.
[0052] It's important to note that pressure switches connected to the air lines of a rail vehicle's braking and ventilation systems are crucial for the vehicle control system to determine whether the pneumatic devices are operating. Testing the operating value of pressure switches is a necessary test during new rail vehicle construction and overhaul. For a train of six to eight cars, the number of pressure switches is large and widely distributed. Testing the operation of these pressure switches is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Therefore, there is a need to improve the automation of pressure switch testing to increase testing efficiency and reduce labor costs.
[0053] It should also be noted that the pressure switch actuation detection plug 3 is connected to the rail vehicle control air line. By controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve to change the air pressure in the air line, the actuation pressure value of the vehicle pressure switch is detected and recorded, compared with the preset standard value, and the test results are generated. This utility model can be used to network multiple test devices through a wireless module, enabling simultaneous detection of the actuation values of multiple rail vehicle pressure switches. This utility model has a high degree of automation, reduces the number of test personnel, and improves test efficiency.
[0054] As an optional embodiment, the controller 2 includes:
[0055] The controller 2 body and the wired communication module are connected to the terminal via wires.
[0056] In the present invention, taking into account the stability and transmission speed of data transmission between the controller 2 and the terminal, the controller 2 of this solution includes a controller 2 body and a wired communication module, that is, the controller 2 adopted in this solution is a wired controller 2, which is connected to the terminal by wire through the wired communication module, and then the detection result of the pressure switch is transmitted to the terminal by wire. Because this solution adopts wired transmission technology, it has the characteristics of fast transmission speed, strong stability of data transmission and high security.
[0057] The present invention further provides an embodiment corresponding to a vehicle, comprising: the pressure switch testing device as described above and a vehicle body, wherein the vehicle body is connected to the pressure switch testing device.
