Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an electrified railway traction return flow acquisition system, including a data acquisition terminal, an acquisition control module 13, a communication module, and a control terminal 16 connected in sequence. The data acquisition terminal includes three data acquisition modules 11; the three data acquisition modules 11 are respectively used for return flow data from traction depots, section depots, and AT depots.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, each data acquisition module 11 includes four current transformers, a Hall sensor, and a high-frequency filter circuit. The four current transformers are respectively installed in the contact wire 21, rail 23, grounding grid 24, and return bus 26, and are used to detect the contact wire current, rail return current, ground return current, and return bus current, respectively. The output terminals of the current transformers are connected to the acquisition control module 13 in sequence through the Hall sensor and the high-frequency filter circuit, and the acquired data is sent to the acquisition control module 13. The acquisition control module 13 sends the acquired return current signal to the control terminal through the communication module. The acquisition control module 13 processes multiple channels of data from multiple traction substations 01, section substations 02, and AT substations 03 at different locations in real time, and integrates the data before sending it to the data processing module 16.
[0025] In this embodiment, a small current signal generated by the current transformer is matched with the operating current of the selected Hall sensor. Through conversion of electric field signal to magnetic field signal and back to electric field signal, the required Hall sensor output signal is generated. Since the Hall sensor itself undergoes two electromagnetic changes, it may generate a large high-frequency signal, which needs to be shielded by a filtering circuit to block high-frequency interference. The generated measurement signal is input to the A / D analog-to-digital converter module to generate the measurement waveform. For example... Figure 4The diagram shows the circuit schematic of a current transformer. Rs on the right is the sampling resistor, and Vi is connected to the subsequent circuit through the current acquisition line.
[0026] Preferably, the current transformer used is a miniature precision AC current transformer (TA1015-1) with a transformation ratio of 5A:5mA. The current acquisition circuit corresponding to the current transformer includes a power resistor and a sampling resistor. The secondary side of the current transformer cannot be open-circuited; the design considers a margin that allows it to operate even under short-circuit current. Taking into account the requirements of the signal conditioning circuit, the sampling resistor Rs is 1000Ω, and the power resistor is 88kΩ.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the control terminal includes an indicator light 14, a display module 15, a data processing module 16, and a data storage module 17. The indicator light 14, the display module 15, and the data storage module 17 are all connected to the data processing module 16.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control terminal also includes a GPS module 18, which is connected to the data processing module 16 and is used to synchronize monitoring data from different monitoring points.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, an electrified railway traction return current acquisition system includes multiple data acquisition terminals. These terminals are used to collect return current data from multiple different monitoring points, including traction substations, section substations, and AT substations. The control terminals at each monitoring point transmit measurement data to a public network server via communication modules. The host data processing module in the control terminal accesses the internet via a 4G network card and downloads current data from the server. Simultaneously, the data source is verified and time synchronization is achieved via a data acquisition card containing a GPS chip. The GPS module 18 includes a data acquisition board, a GPS / BeiDou chip, and a satellite antenna.
[0030] In this embodiment, the data processing module retrieves data from the server via a network card, extracts the data source location information via a GPS module, and restores the data in the waveform acquisition tool software on the host computer to extract key electrical parameters. Furthermore, the waveform data processed by the data processing module is output to the display module for display and stored in the data storage module. Staff can switch between displayed data via an interactive screen on the display module and access the current waveform data stored in the data storage module via the interactive screen. The data processing module has multiple functions to meet the requirements of traction return current acquisition; it can configure the rated value of the acquired power and transform the acquired secondary values into primary values through linear transformation; it can configure channel attributes, allowing configuration of monitoring points and channel attributes according to actual site conditions; it can simultaneously process 16 channels of sampled waveforms, providing waveform recording and analysis tools for viewing and analyzing waveform data via the display module 15; waveform data can be stored via the data storage module 17, with each stored waveform file forming a new file every 10 minutes, which can be distributed and analyzed offline; it can synchronize the waveform recordings of multiple monitoring points via the satellite antenna in the GPS module 18; and it can indicate the working, synchronization, and storage modes via the indicator light 14. It can provide real-time data storage and offline data export functions. The display module 15 can realize screen interaction and display the electrical quantity information of each sampling channel, including RMS value, angle, frequency, harmonics, etc.; the current sampling value and status of the system can be viewed in real time through remote software.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the acquisition and control module includes an AD conversion module and a DSP unit. The DSP unit receives the digital signals converted by the AD conversion module, processes them, and then sends them to the control terminal through the communication unit. Each data acquisition module can acquire four channels of current data. Then, the three data acquisition modules convert the data through three AD converters. Thus, the DSP unit can receive and process 12 channels of current data digital signals, organize them, and send them to the public network server.
[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the acquisition control module further includes a reset unit, which is used to reset the DSP unit. The reset unit generates a reset signal input / output terminal, which is connected to the reset input / output terminal of the DSP unit, so as to restart the program when an infinite loop occurs in the program of the DSP unit. The acquisition control module also includes a RAM unit, which is used to provide external storage space for the DSP unit.
[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the communication unit is a PLC unit, which connects to the control terminal via the TCP / IP protocol. The PLC unit is mainly responsible for organizing the data processed by RAM. It uses the TCP / IP protocol and connects to an external host via a local area network for further analysis and storage. The communication input / output ports of the PLC unit are connected to the input / output ports of the control terminal.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the acquired current waveform data includes acquisition point location data and time-scale data, enabling synchronous calibration. The system's host computer can configure time attributes and acquisition point channel attributes. Important electrical parameters, including harmonics, angle, frequency, and RMS value, can be extracted from the acquired current waveform in real time. Channel information can be locally stored at set time intervals, and historical data can be queried and statistically analyzed.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
