In the operation and operation process of the catenary operation vehicle, the line outer rail superhigh situation has a significant influence on its stability and safety. When dealing with the problem of outer rail superhigh, the traditional operation vehicle lacks effective real-time monitoring means. On the one hand, the operation personnel cannot accurately and timely obtain the current inclination angle information of the operation vehicle, and when encountering a line with large outer rail superhigh, they cannot timely detect whether the inclination state of the operation vehicle has reached a dangerous level, which may cause the operation vehicle to run or operate in an unstable state, and there are safety hazards such as rollover. On the other hand, due to the lack of accurate measurement and early warning device, the operation personnel can only judge the inclination of the operation vehicle by experience, which is subjective and has low accuracy, and it is difficult to meet the increasingly strict requirements of railway operation safety.

[0025] like Figure 1 The overhead contact line maintenance vehicle's outer rail over-height early warning device includes: the maintenance vehicle body, and further includes: a measuring unit 1 installed at the center of the bottom of the maintenance vehicle body to measure the tilt angle of the maintenance vehicle, a control terminal 2 that is communicatively connected to the measuring unit 1 to process the measurement data, and a display and early warning unit 3 that is electrically connected to the control terminal 2.

[0026] The measuring unit is mounted on the bottom of the work vehicle body via an inverted U-shaped mounting bracket 4.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] The contact network is a special form of power transmission line for supplying power to electric locomotives, and the current relied on by the train operation is transmitted through the contact network at the top of the locomotive. Due to the fact that the track plane at the turning position is inclined to the inside of the curve, the track is high on one side and low on the other side. By installing the measuring unit 1 at the center position of the bottom of the work car body, the inclination state of the whole work car can be more accurately perceived. The measuring unit 1 transmits the measured data about the inclination angle of the work car to the control terminal 2 through the communication line. (The control terminal 2 is generally a microcomputer system or a special controller with data processing and analysis capability). After receiving the data, the control terminal 2 will first perform pre-processing operations such as filtering and noise reduction on the data to remove possible interference signals and ensure the accuracy and stability of the data. Then, the control terminal 2 will compare and analyze the real-time measurement data with the pre-set safety threshold. When the control terminal 2 judges that the measurement data exceeds the safety threshold, it will immediately send an instruction to the display warning unit 3. After receiving the instruction, the display warning unit 3 will send a warning signal to the work car operator in a variety of intuitive ways. At the same time, through the installation support 4 of the inverted U-shaped structure, the measuring unit 1 can better adapt to the space layout of the bottom of the work car. The warning device of the utility model is only composed of the measuring unit 1, the control terminal 2 and the display warning unit 3, and the device is relatively simple in structure, which reduces the difficulty of equipment cost and installation and maintenance.

[0029] In the above technical solution, the measuring unit 1 is configured as a nine-axis IMU attitude sensor 7. With this technical solution, the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor integrates a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis magnetometer. The accelerometer can measure the acceleration change of the work car in three axial directions, thereby sensing the inclination, acceleration, deceleration and other motion states of the vehicle; the gyroscope can accurately measure the angular velocity of the vehicle and is very sensitive to the attitude changes such as turning and inclination angle of the vehicle; the magnetometer can provide the heading information of the vehicle. Through the fusion of the data of the three, the attitude change of the work car can be measured with high precision, and the control terminal 2 receives the real-time inclination angle of the work car measured by the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor. The control terminal 2 calculates the real-time height of the outer rail through the calculation formula of the trigonometric function, and compares it with the pre-set value. When it exceeds the corresponding pre-set value, the work car is prohibited from moving and the platform on the work car is prohibited from rising and rotating.

[0030] In the above technical solution, further comprising: a base 5 detachably connected with the bottom of the vehicle body, the mounting bracket 4 is arranged on the base 5, and the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor 7 is arranged on the upper surface of the mounting bracket 4. With this technical solution, the base 5 is detachably connected with the bottom of the vehicle body, which greatly facilitates the installation and later maintenance and replacement of the entire measurement unit 1. When the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor fails or needs to be upgraded, the staff can conveniently detach it from the bottom of the vehicle body without the need to make large-scale changes to the vehicle body structure, saving maintenance time and cost. The mounting bracket 4 in inverted U-shaped structure provides a stable support platform for the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor. This structure can uniformly disperse the weight of the sensor itself and various forces generated during vehicle driving, ensuring that the sensor always maintains a stable installation state in complex operating environments and avoiding measurement errors caused by shaking or displacement.

[0031] In the above technical solution, further comprising: a sealing cabin 6 arranged on the upper surface of the mounting bracket 4 for sealing the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor 7; wherein the contact surface of the mounting bracket 4 and the contact surface of the sealing cabin 6 and the mounting bracket 4 are both provided with shock-absorbing pads 8. With this technical solution, the sealing cabin 6 is used to seal the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor, which can effectively resist the influence of external harsh environment on the sensor. During the operation of the working vehicle, the bottom of the vehicle body will be subjected to erosion by rainwater, dust, mud and the like, and the sealing cabin 6 can prevent these substances from entering, avoiding performance degradation or damage of the sensor due to dampness, dust accumulation and the like, thereby prolonging the service life of the sensor. The shock-absorbing pads 8 are arranged on the contact surface of the mounting bracket 4 and the base 5 and the contact surface of the sealing cabin 6 and the mounting bracket 4, which can effectively reduce the influence of the vibration generated during the driving of the working vehicle on the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor. The vibration during vehicle operation may cause the sensor to make a false judgment or measurement deviation, and the shock-absorbing pads 8 absorb and buffer the vibration energy, reduce the amplitude of the vibration transmitted to the sensor, and ensure the accuracy and stability of the sensor measurement.

[0032] In the technical scheme, the damping pad 8 is configured of rubber material. With this technical scheme, the rubber has excellent elasticity, can be deformed when subjected to vibration, and can absorb and disperse vibration energy. When vibration generated during driving of the working vehicle is transmitted to the contact surface between the mounting bracket 4 and the base 5 and between the sealing cabin 6 and the mounting bracket 4, the rubber damping pad 8 can be rapidly elastically deformed, converts the vibration energy into elastic potential energy of the rubber damping pad 8, thereby effectively reducing the influence of the vibration on the nine-axis IMU attitude sensor, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the sensor measurement.

[0033] In the technical scheme, the display warning unit 3 comprises a display connected with the vehicle body base 5 through a bracket and a loudspeaker arranged on the top of the vehicle body; the display and the loudspeaker are electrically connected with the control terminal 2. With this technical scheme, the display and the loudspeaker have an angle of LED, the display has three blocks, one block is mounted on the working personnel platform through a bracket, facilitating the working personnel to check, and the other two blocks are placed near the driver position, facilitating the driver to check the current angle state. The loudspeaker is mounted in the cab, and the driver is first reminded when the outer rail exceeds the safety threshold. The display bracket base 5 is welded by a profile, and a mounting hole is designed in the lower part and mounted at a proper position. The loudspeaker broadcasts a prompt sound once every 10 seconds when the outer rail exceeds the safety threshold.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present application have been disclosed as above, it is not limited to the application listed in the specification and the embodiments, and can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present application. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily realized, and therefore the present application is not limited to specific details and the figures shown and described herein, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope.
