Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of displacement detection devices, and in particular to a track displacement detection device for electric railcars. Background Technology
[0002] In certain shooting scenarios, cameras are mounted on trams for easy movement. During the tram's movement, a displacement detection device monitors and controls its distance traveled. Most existing detection devices use a measuring rope connected to the tram, measuring the length of the rope pulled out to determine the displacement distance. However, since the length of each loop of rope varies with the winding radius, this leads to inaccuracies in the displacement distance detection. Therefore, a device with high displacement distance detection accuracy is designed to ensure precise control of the tram. Utility Model Content

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0033] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a track displacement detection device for an electric railcar, comprising a housing 1, a support 11 fixedly disposed inside the housing 1, a shaft 2 rotatably disposed between the support 11 and the inner wall of the housing 1, one end of the shaft 2 being connected to an angle sensor 21, and the other end passing through the support 11 and rotatably connected to a screw 3 through a bearing, the end of the screw 3 away from the shaft 2 being fixedly connected to the housing 1.
[0035] A spool 4 is threaded onto the screw 3, and the shaft 2 and the spool 4 are fixedly connected by a transmission assembly 5. A layer of steel wire rope 41 is densely wound around the spool 4 from one end to the other. One end of the steel wire rope 41 is fixedly connected to the spool 4, and the other end passes through the housing 1 and is connected to the electric railcar through the connecting assembly 6. The distance that the spool 4 moves along the axis of the shaft 2 in one revolution is equal to the outer diameter of the steel wire rope 41. A coil spring assembly 7 is provided between the shaft 2 and the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the displacement of the electric railcar is detected, as the electric railcar moves from near to far, the steel wire rope 41 is pulled by the connecting component 6, and the spool 4 drives the shaft 2 to rotate simultaneously through the transmission component 5. The angle sensor 21 detects the rotation parameters of the shaft 2. Since it moves the same distance as the outer diameter of the steel wire rope in one rotation, the length of the steel wire rope 41 output in each rotation is consistent.
[0037] As the spool 4 rotates, the coil spring assembly 7 begins to accumulate potential energy. When the electric railcar moves closer, the coil spring assembly 7 drives the spool 4 to rotate in the opposite direction and retract the wire rope 41, ensuring that the wire rope 41 is always taut. The displacement distance of the electric railcar is obtained by multiplying the number of rotations of the spool 4 by the length of each rotation of the wire rope 41, ensuring accurate feedback of the electric railcar displacement data and guaranteeing high-precision control of the electric railcar displacement.

[0042] In this embodiment, the shaft 2 and the bobbin 4 are fixedly connected by the first connecting frame 51 and two connecting rods 52. The gears achieve proportional transmission between them, so that the angle sensor 21 can detect the rotation of the bobbin 4 through the shaft 2.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, a guide tube 16 is connected to one side of the housing 1 along the tangential direction of the spool 4.
