[0050] In one specific embodiment, a train taillight monitoring system based on the present invention performs a train taillight monitoring method, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes:

[0051] The current sensor detects the current in the train's taillight circuit and feeds the current data back to the control system in real time.

[0052] The current is the branch current of the train taillight. If there are two train taillights on the train, then there are two corresponding train taillight branch currents.

[0053] The two train taillights are connected in parallel to the train electrical cabinet.

[0054] The voltage sensor or voltage detection module detects the voltage data in real time and feeds the data back to the control system to detect the power supply voltage of the train taillights.

[0055] The power supply voltage is the total voltage for supplying power to the train tail light on the train;

[0056] In the case of voltage fluctuation of the total power supply voltage, the train tail light should work normally under the fluctuation voltage within the standard;

[0057] The fluctuation voltage is considered as the normal working voltage;

[0058] The voltage sensor or voltage detection module detects that the total power supply voltage U is not within the normal working voltage range, which is initially considered as a train tail light failure;

[0059] When the branch current value I detected by the current sensor is α*P / U, it is initially considered as a train tail light failure;

[0060] The value of α is the ratio of the number of damaged lamp beads to the total number of lamp beads in actual work, such as the ratio of 3 damaged lamp beads to 27 common lamp beads as α, i.e. 3 / 27=0.88;

[0065] The time threshold HYtime2 for continuous alarm of the alarm device is provided;

[0066] HYtime1<HYtime2;

[0067] The initial train tail light failure disappears within HYtime1, which can be considered as a poor contact of the train tail light;

[0068] If the initial train tail light failure exceeds HYtime2, the control system judges that the train tail light is faulty;

[0069] The alarm device is an audible and visual alarm device;

[0070] Other functions of the detection device are realized through the button, including:

[0071] The function of turning off the current sensor is realized by setting button 1;

[0072] The function of turning off the voltage sensor is realized by setting button 2;

[0073] Reset function is realized by setting button 3, that is, when the alarm device alarms, button 3 is pressed, the alarm device stops sound alarm but the alarm lamp is bright;

[0074] Start function is realized by setting button 4, that is, when button 4 is pressed, the alarm lamp is off, if the control system still judges that there is train tail lamp fault, the alarm device alarms randomly by sound and light;

[0075] The detection device has two power supply modes, one is power supply of the train tail lamp, and the other is battery power supply.

[0076] The battery power supply is that when the detection device is connected to the power supply of the train tail lamp, the battery is charged by the power supply, and after the charging is completed, the charging is stopped.

[0077] The above only describes the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
