Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of longitudinal resistance and transition resistance measurement technology of track return system, specifically to an intelligent detection device for stray current protection in subways. Background Technology

[0002] my country's urban rail transit mainly uses DC traction power supply, which is beneficial for achieving continuous power supply to the main line traction network, avoiding problems such as negative sequence and high-frequency electromagnetic interference, and meeting the needs of frequent train entry and exit from stations and frequent braking and starting / stopping. However, the use of DC traction power supply in subway traction power supply systems can lead to stray current leakage problems.

[0003] The electrical energy output from the traction substation is transmitted to the train via the overhead contact line, and then returns to the traction substation via the running rails. This traction return current causes the running rails to generate a ground potential. In the track return system, due to the inherent impedance characteristics of the rails, complete insulation between the rails and the ground cannot be achieved through materials and construction techniques. Therefore, the return current leaks to the ground, returning to the traction substation through the subway's structural steel reinforcement and buried metal pipes, forming a current loop. This portion of the current leaking from the running rails to the ground is called stray current. The point where stray current flows out from the structural steel reinforcement or buried metal pipes is the anode zone, where the metal components will corrode. The rail transition resistance value is an important indicator for measuring the level of stray current leakage; the magnitude of the stray current is inversely correlated with the rail transition resistance value. Reducing the longitudinal resistance of the running rails can decrease the rail potential, thereby reducing stray current.

[0004] According to CTI / T 49-2020 "Technical Standard for Stray Current Corrosion Protection in Metro Lines," the rail transition resistance value of metro lines should not be less than 15 Ω·km. Testing whether the rail transition resistance meets the requirements is of great significance for engineering construction and metro structural safety. Both the national standards GB / T28026.2-2018 "Strray Current Protection" and CJJ / T 49-2020 "Technical Standard for Stray Current Corrosion Protection in Metro Lines" provide the measurement principles and recommended methods for the longitudinal resistance and transition resistance of rails. Specifically, current is injected between the rail to be tested and the stray current collection network terminals, and the inflow or outflow current is accurately measured at both ends of the rail transition resistance test section to obtain the current leaking from the rail to ground. The rail transition resistance of the test section can be calculated by dividing the average value of the rail-to-ground potential obtained from the sampling in the test section by the leakage current. Document CN 106771636A, "Rail Transition Resistance Detection System and Method," employs Internet of Things (IoT) technology to connect a server with data acquisition and communication equipment. After acquiring signals, it calculates the rail transition resistance and assesses the rail's insulation installation level. However, existing technologies generally suffer from drawbacks such as low measurement accuracy, limited measurement efficiency, and complex operation. Utility Model Content
