[0024] The bogie is a structure for supporting the vehicle to run on the running rail and is part of the vehicle. The bogie 9 is the foremost pair of bogies of the vehicle and comprises the wheel 901, the axle box 902 on the axle of the wheel 901, and the frame 903 mounted on the axle box 902. The wheel 901 is usually four in number, two of which are arranged side by side to form a wheel pair through a wheel axle. The outer side of each wheel 901 is provided with a said axle box 902, and the two ends of the wheel axle are supported on the corresponding axle boxes 902. The frame 903 is in the shape of an I-beam and is located on the top of the four axle boxes 902 to connect the four axle boxes 902 into a whole.
[0025] The utility model discloses a dynamics indirect force measuring device, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 It comprises a vertical displacement sensor 1, an acceleration sensor 2, a lateral displacement sensor 3, a speed sensor 4, and a bogie 9 of a vehicle. The detection seat 5 is installed on the outer end face of the axle box 902.

The vertical displacement sensor 1 is installed on the outer edge of the bottom end of the frame 903, and the vertical displacement sensor 1 is centered on the detection seat 5. As shown in Figure 4 The detection seat 5 is fixed to the outer end face of the axle box 902, and the vertical displacement sensor 1 is fixed to the frame 903. The vertical distance H between the vertical displacement sensor 1 and the detection seat 5 is fixed. The vertical distance H is controlled within the range of the vertical displacement sensor 1, the vertical displacement sensor 1 can detect the detection seat 5, and the vertical distance change value measured by the vertical displacement sensor 1 is the vertical displacement value between the frame 903 and the axle box 902.
[0026] The accelerometer 2 is mounted on the top surface of the frame 903. The accelerometer 2 is a three-dimensional accelerometer (X, Y, Z axes) used to measure the vibration of the frame in the X (lateral), Y (longitudinal), and Z (vertical) directions. The Y-axis in the experimentally determined reference three-dimensional coordinate system is the positive direction of train movement (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the accelerometer 2 is installed with reference to this coordinate system, that is, the Y value is the longitudinal vibration acceleration of the frame, the X value is the lateral vibration acceleration, and the Z value is the vertical vibration acceleration.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the lateral displacement sensor 3 is installed on the top surface of the frame 903, and the emitted light of the lateral displacement sensor 3 is perpendicular to the outer side of the rim of the wheel 901; the lateral displacement sensor 3 collects the horizontal distance S between itself and the outer side of the rim of the wheel 901, and the measured change value of the horizontal distance S is the lateral displacement between the frame 903 and the axle box 902.
[0028] A detection point 6 is provided on the outer side of the wheel rim. The speed sensor 4 is mounted on the top surface of the frame 903 and scans the detection point 6. The speed sensor 4 scans the detection point 6 to calculate the speed pulse signal, thereby determining the vehicle's speed.
[0029] By obtaining the vertical displacement between frame 903 and axle box 902, the acceleration of frame 903, the lateral displacement between frame 903 and axle box 902, and the vehicle speed, and combining this with the vehicle body structural parameters, the wheel-rail interaction force can be calculated. The formula for calculating the wheel-rail interaction force is:
[0030]
[0031] F y =m car a y +F resistance (v);
[0032] Among them, F x For the lateral force between the wheel and rail; F y For the longitudinal force between the wheel and rail; F z For the vertical force between the wheel and rail; K z K represents the vertical stiffness of the suspension system. x C is the lateral stiffness of the primary suspension. z For primary suspension vertical damping; C x For primary suspension lateral damping; m wheel For wheelset mass; m car Δz represents the vehicle body mass; Δz represents the vertical displacement, measured by vertical displacement sensor 1; Δx represents the lateral displacement, measured by lateral displacement sensor 3. The vertical displacement velocity is obtained by differentiating the vertical displacement. is the lateral displacement velocity, obtained by differentiating the lateral displacement; a x is the lateral acceleration of the bogie, measured by the acceleration sensor 2; a y is the longitudinal acceleration of the bogie, measured by the acceleration sensor 2; a z is the vertical acceleration of the bogie, measured by the acceleration sensor 2; L is the distance between the two wheels of the wheelset; r0 is the rolling radius of the wheel; f 22 is the lateral creep coefficient; F resistance (v) is the running resistance.
[0033] The running resistance is directly related to the vehicle speed, and the running resistance calculation formula is:
[0034] wherein p is the air density; C d is the air resistance coefficient; A is the windward area of the vehicle body; μ is the rolling friction coefficient; v is the vehicle speed, measured by the speed sensor 4. As can be seen from the running resistance calculation formula, the higher the vehicle speed, the running resistance increases in square, which is the main component of the longitudinal force.
[0035] and is obtained by differentiating the relative displacement value, mainly using the central difference method, by setting a specific frequency f s , the displacement data Δz and Δx are discretely processed to obtain Δz[n] and Δx[n], and the displacement velocity is calculated by the central difference method:
[0036]
[0037] wherein the sampling interval Δt = 1 / f s .
[0038] Compared with directly measuring the wheel-rail interaction force, each sensor is installed to the bogie 903 or the axle box 902 outside the wheelset or the track, without the need to modify the wheelset or the track, thereby simplifying the structure and saving the installation and maintenance costs. These detection components are installed to a bogie 9, and the bogie 9 is used as the front of the vehicle and first contacts the track irregularities (such as welds, switches, curve sections), and the dynamic response (vibration, displacement) thereof can directly reflect the original excitation characteristics of the track, avoiding the attenuation or interference of the vehicle body vibration on the signal. Generally, the dynamic data of a bogie is more globally representative, and is the preferred choice for test optimization.
[0039] To further reduce interference with the vehicle's original structure, in this embodiment, a detection seat 5 is installed on the outer end face of each axle box 902. Each detection seat 5 is equipped with a vertical displacement sensor 1, and each vertical displacement sensor 1 is aligned with one detection seat 5. All vertical displacement sensors 1 are arranged symmetrically along the longitudinal direction. All detection seats 5 are arranged symmetrically along the longitudinal direction. Each wheel 901 is equipped with a lateral displacement sensor 3, and the emitted light from each lateral displacement sensor 3 perpendicularly illuminates the outer surface of the rim of the corresponding wheel 901. All lateral displacement sensors 3 are arranged symmetrically along the longitudinal direction. Each wheel 901 is equipped with a speed sensor 4, and detection points 6 are respectively set on the outer surface of the rim of each wheel 901. The speed sensor 4 scans the corresponding detection points 6. The speed sensor 4 is arranged symmetrically along the longitudinal direction. With this configuration, these sensors and other components added to one bogie 9 are symmetrically distributed in one bogie 9, realizing full-domain force field reconstruction and reducing interference with the vehicle's original structure.
[0040] The detection seat 5 can be a flat plate or the like. In this embodiment, preferably, the detection seat 5 includes a vertical plate 501 and a horizontal plate 502. The vertical plate 501 is installed on the outer end face of the axle box 902, and the horizontal plate 502 is perpendicular to the emitted light of the vertical displacement sensor 1.
[0041] Furthermore, the upright plate 501 is attached to the outer end face of the axle box 902.
[0042] The detection point 6 is a reflective sticker affixed to the outer side of the wheel rim.
[0043] The vertical displacement sensor 1 is attached to the frame 903; the acceleration sensor 2 is attached to the frame 903; the lateral displacement sensor 3 is attached to the frame 903; and the velocity sensor 4 is attached to the frame 903.
[0044] Sensors and other components are installed by adhesive bonding, avoiding the need to modify the original structure.
[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, vertical displacement sensor 1, acceleration sensor 2, lateral displacement sensor 3, and velocity sensor 4 are connected to the controller 8 inside the vehicle via data transmission cable 7. The data detected by each sensor is transmitted to the controller 8 inside the vehicle via the data transmission cable 7, where it is automatically analyzed, processed, stored, and displayed.
