Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of rail defect detection, and particularly relates to a bottom defect detection device for ballastless track. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ballastless track, also known as ballastless track, is a track structure that uses concrete, asphalt mixture and other integral foundations to replace the granular ballast bed. In order to ensure the operation of the track, it is necessary to detect the defects of the track, and the rail defect detection is a key technical task, which focuses on identifying, measuring and analyzing various defects or damages that may exist on the railway track. These defects may include but are not limited to cracks, wear, breakage, deformation, corrosion, and deviation of track geometry, etc. Rail defect detection is a comprehensive and detailed inspection of railway track through visual inspection, ultrasonic detection, magnetic powder detection, eddy current detection, laser scanning, infrared thermal imaging and automated detection system based on machine vision, aiming to discover potential problems on the track in time and ensure the safety and smoothness of railway traffic.
[0003] At present, in the defect detection work of ballastless track, the detection device of the prior art mainly focuses on the two sides and the top of the track which are easy to observe and contact, and the widely used ultrasonic detection also has a detection blind area, which can only detect the track surface, track waist and track bottom below the track waist, and cannot realize comprehensive detection. Moreover, ultrasonic detection needs to be used with coupling agent, which greatly increases the detection difficulty and cost. At present, the track bottom area mainly relies on traditional manual visual detection to make up for the deficiency of machine detection due to the influence of its structure, space limitation and the obstruction of the track tie. The traditional manual visual detection is to stretch a mirror into the track bottom by an experienced track inspector, and observe whether there is damage, crack and other conditions in the track bottom through mirror reflection. Through manual detection, a track inspector can detect 100 meters of track bottom defects per hour, but due to the possible omissions of manual detection, the detection rate cannot be guaranteed, and the detection can only be carried out during the day.
