Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to rail transit railway signal technical field, concretely relates to a self monitoring choke transformer. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the 25Hz phase-sensitive track circuit monitoring in the station only collects receiving end voltage, phase and track relay state, and cannot effectively locate the fault after the fault occurs, and can only find the fault through the way of segment-by-segment test, so the fault handling efficiency is low. The whole station system monitoring and diagnosis system is still in a blank state, and the problems faced are:

[0003] (1) The short-circuit and open-circuit faults of the equipment cannot be located. For the same track circuit fault phenomenon, the causes may be open circuit, short circuit and other conditions. The monitoring system only has the voltage and phase of the power receiving end relay side, and the parameters, spectrum analysis and outdoor trackside equipment electrical characteristics of the remaining equipment ports are not collected, and the real operation state of the track circuit equipment cannot be recorded comprehensively.

[0004] (2) Unbalanced traction current interference problem. There are two types of unbalanced traction current. One is single-end grounding fault of the rail, which is caused by factors such as poor insulation of fasteners and buried rail bottom of ballast. The other is the most common unbalanced structure of turnout, which affects the use of track circuit and may even cause vehicle error action. The choke transformer is equipped with an adapter, and there is a protection box in the room for 50Hz power frequency signal filtering. However, when the unbalance degree is greater than 10%, or there are a large number of odd harmonic components in the traction current, it will affect the normal use of the track circuit. The signal centralized monitoring system does not have spectrum analysis function, and only shows the increase or decrease of amplitude, so there is not enough effective information for analysis.

[0005] (3) Wire breakage checking problem. In electrified sections, in order to ensure the smoothness of the traction return path, the center connection points of the choke transformers on both sides of the insulating joint need to be connected, and in order to balance the up and down traction currents, horizontal connecting lines are set at the entrance and interval, which need to be grounded. This causes a third wire from the power supply end to the receiving end, commonly known as the "third rail" detour loop. When the detour impedance is insufficient, the choke transformer rail connecting line is broken, and the relay cannot be reliably dropped. When the connecting line power supply and receiving end are double broken on the same side, there is even a safety risk of losing the shunt check. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
