Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a grounding switch device, especially a modular grounding switch device for catenary maintenance of urban rail transit. BACKGROUND

[0002] Urban rail transit includes ground railway, underground railway (i.e. subway), elevated railway, etc., all of which use electric energy as driving energy, and catenary (generally above the train) or contact rail (generally beside the train) is the carrier for transmitting electric energy, used for sliding contact with the power input contact on the train.

[0003] The safe operation of urban rail transit cannot be achieved without high-quality maintenance. During the maintenance of catenary or contact rail, a grounding wire needs to be installed in the operation section to ensure the safety of the maintenance personnel. The traditional operation mode of installing a grounding wire is that the maintenance personnel carry a grounding wire and an electricity tester to the site, first test the electricity, then hang the grounding wire, and then remove the grounding wire after the maintenance is completed.

[0004] In order to effectively reduce the labor intensity of the operating personnel, shorten the operation time, and improve the work efficiency, the grounding switch device fixedly installed in the electrical cabinet beside the track is more and more widely used. One terminal block of the grounding switch device is connected with the catenary or contact rail, and the other terminal block is connected with the steel rail (i.e. the running track, which is connected with the ground itself, i.e. in the grounded state). A knife switch is arranged between the two terminal blocks. During normal operation, the knife switch is opened, the catenary or contact rail is not grounded, and the electric energy is normally transmitted. When maintenance is needed, the power supply of the catenary or contact rail is first disconnected, and then the knife switch is closed to ground the catenary or contact rail, so as to avoid safety accidents of the maintenance personnel caused by high-voltage charges on the catenary or contact rail due to various reasons or incomplete disconnection of the power supply due to accidents.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in application, this modular grounding switch device is fixedly installed in an electrical cabinet (not shown in the figure) next to the track (which can be underground, ground, or elevated rails).

The grounding switch 5 is closed through the same transmission process. After this maintenance is completed, the drive motor 17 can be repaired or replaced without affecting the progress of this maintenance.

[0031] When a module of this modular grounding switch device (such as an electric / manual drive module, transmission module, or switch status display module) malfunctions, it is only necessary to separate the faulty module from the associated module, remove the faulty module for repair or replacement, without having to disassemble or replace the entire switch device, thus improving maintenance convenience and efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
