Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of rail transit door systems, in particular to a modular integrated structure of a power control unit of a rail transit door system. Background Art

[0002] The general installation and working methods of the motor assembly, reducer assembly, controller assembly, brake assembly and battery assembly (some rail transit door systems may be equipped with battery assemblies as a backup power source) in today's rail transit door power control assembly system are as follows:

[0003] Motor components:

[0004] Mounting: The motor assembly is typically mounted to the door system frame or car body using bolts or other fasteners, typically near the door's actuator. For example, in some subway car door systems, the motor assembly is mounted on a dedicated bracket above or to the side of the door.

[0005] Operation: When the controller receives a signal to open or close the door, it sends a corresponding electrical signal to the motor assembly. The motor assembly begins rotating in response to the signal, and a transmission device (such as a belt or screw) converts this rotational motion into linear movement of the door.

[0006] Reducer components:

[0007] Installation: The reducer assembly is typically tightly coupled to the motor assembly, mounted on the motor's output shaft. The two may be connected by couplings, gears, or other means to ensure power transmission. For example, in some light rail vehicle door systems, the reducer assembly is mounted within the door's top frame, forming an integral drive unit with the motor assembly.

[0008] Operation: The reducer converts the high-speed rotation of the motor assembly into a low-speed, high-torque output suitable for door system operation. This ensures the door system's operational requirements. It also protects the motor assembly from damage due to overload. There are many types of reducers, and the choice depends on the specific needs. For example, a planetary reducer is used for passenger side door systems, while a worm gear reducer is used for interior door systems.

[0009] Controller components:

[0010] Installation: The controller assembly is typically installed in a control box within the train compartment, typically mounted on the wall or other convenient location for operation and maintenance. Cables or wires connect the controller assembly to various components of the door system for signal transmission and control. For example, in some high-speed train door systems, the controller assembly is installed in the carriage's electrical control cabinet and connected to the door's motor assembly, sensors, brake assembly, and other components via dedicated cables.

[0011] Operation: The controller receives signals from the train control system or passenger operations, such as door open and close buttons, and train speed signals. Based on these signals, the controller controls components such as the motor and brake assembly to open, close, and stop the doors. The controller also monitors the operating status of the door system, including door position, speed, and current. If an abnormality occurs, it promptly issues an alarm and initiates appropriate protective measures.

[0012] Brake assembly (if applicable):

[0013] Installation: The brake assembly is typically installed on the door's transmission mechanism, such as the lead screw and pulley. During installation, ensure a secure connection between the brake assembly and the transmission mechanism to effectively transmit braking force. In some door systems, the brake assembly may also be installed directly on the motor assembly's output shaft to more directly brake the motor assembly's rotation. For example, in some subway car door systems, the brake assembly is installed at the end of the door's lead screw, with braking achieved through contact between the brake pad and the lead screw. In other cases, there is no brake assembly, and braking is achieved by reverse rotation of the motor assembly.

[0014] Operation: When the door reaches the open or closed position, the controller sends a braking signal to the brake assembly. Upon receiving the signal, the brake assembly activates, generating braking force through friction, electromagnetic forces, and other means to stop the door's transmission mechanism, thereby maintaining the door's open or closed position. In emergency situations, such as train failures or danger, the brake assembly automatically activates to ensure the door's safe closure.

[0015] Battery Pack (if any):

[0016] Installation: Battery packs are typically installed in dedicated battery pack boxes within the vehicle compartment. These boxes are typically located at the bottom, top, or other locations that do not interfere with passengers or vehicle operation. These boxes must be well sealed and well protected to protect the battery packs from environmental influences. For example, in some unmanned rail transit vehicles, the battery packs are installed in a battery pack compartment at the bottom of the vehicle compartment and connected to components such as the door system's controller and motor assembly via cables.

[0017] Operation: The battery pack serves as a backup power source. Under normal circumstances, rail transit door systems rely primarily on the train's power supply. However, if the train's power supply fails or a power outage occurs, the battery pack automatically activates to provide power to the door system, ensuring normal opening and closing of the doors. The battery pack requires regular charging and maintenance to ensure its performance and lifespan.

[0018] Remote monitoring component module (if any)

[0019] Installation: Usually installed in or near the control box of the rail transit door system, usually in a well-ventilated place, easy to maintain and free from external interference. The remote monitoring component module is connected to the door system controller component through a dedicated data line or communication interface.

[0020] Work: Use various sensors (speed sensors, noise sensors, etc.) to collect, transmit, analyze and process data, and finally remotely control and manage the door system status.

[0021] Problems and defects:

[0022] Independent installation of components: Motor components, reducer components, controller components, brake components, and battery components are usually installed in different locations. The installation process is complicated and requires consideration of the spatial layout and connection methods of multiple components. The numerous connection lines between components are prone to line failures, increasing the difficulty of maintenance and repair. Components produced by different manufacturers may have compatibility issues, affecting the overall performance and stability of the door system.

[0023] Lack of customizability: Traditional door systems are usually standardized designs, which are difficult to quickly adjust and customize according to different cost requirements or customer-specific needs. If special needs are to be met, large-scale redesign and modification are often required, which is costly and time-consuming.

[0024] Difficulty in technology upgrades: Due to the independence of each component, each component needs to be improved separately during technology upgrades, which makes coordination difficult and costly; it is difficult to achieve rapid improvement and optimization of overall performance.
