Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of railway shoe management equipment, specifically to a shoe box system for managing railway shoes at intermediate stations. Background technology:

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's railway transportation industry, higher requirements have been placed on the automation level of arrival and departure yard operations. Preventing rolling stock from slipping off the tracks is a crucial aspect of railway safety. The "Railway Technical Management Regulations" clearly stipulate that rolling stock parked on the track should be securely fixed with anti-slip devices such as wheel chocks when not in operation.

[0003] Preventing runaway of locomotives and rolling stock stopped at intermediate railway stations has a direct impact on railway safety. Track shoes are the primary means of preventing runaway of unpowered locomotives and rolling stock. Whether the track shoes are properly placed after the train stops is crucial to ensuring safe runaway prevention, while whether all track shoes are removed is crucial to the safe departure of the train. Currently, the retrieval, placement, removal, and return of track shoes are all done manually.

[0004] Currently, most intermediate stations use ordinary track shoes, which are still managed by placing them in ordinary track shoe boxes next to the tracks. During daily operations, constant inspections are required to determine whether the track shoes are in place or removed. This method of operation is inefficient and can easily pose safety hazards. A small number of smart track shoes are used, which can remotely monitor the status of the track shoes. However, smart track shoes have a complex structure and many functions, and are also expensive, which is not conducive to the replacement and modification of most ordinary track shoes. Utility model content:

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a metal shoe box system for managing metal shoes at railway intermediate stations.

[0006] This utility model is implemented by the following technical solution:

[0007] A railway intermediate station iron shoe management iron shoe box system includes a box body, a box cover, a contact switch, a data transmission control module, a LoRa gateway, and a display terminal. The box cover is hinged to the top of the box body. Two iron shoe slots are symmetrically arranged inside the box body. Multiple limit seats are fixed in each iron shoe slot. The contact switch is arranged in the limit seat, and the contacts of the contact switch are located on the outside of the limit seat.

[0008] The signal output terminal of the contact switch is wiredly connected to the signal input terminal of the data transmission control module, the data transmission control module is wirelessly connected to the LoRa gateway, and the signal output terminal of the LoRa gateway is wiredly connected to the signal input terminal of the display terminal.

[0009] Preferably, a handle is fixed to the lid; a waterproof strip is fixed to the bottom of the lid along the frame.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of hydraulic rods are provided between the box body and the box cover, the bottom end of the hydraulic rods is rotatably connected to the side wall of the box body, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic rods is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box cover.

[0011] Preferably, the iron shoe groove includes two side plates, a downward-sloping plate is fixed between one end of the two side plates, and a "7"-shaped support plate is fixed between the other ends of the two side plates; the limiting seat is fixed on the plate surface of the inclined plate facing the support plate, and a tray is fixed on the plate surface of the inclined plate opposite to the support plate.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting seat has a square cross-section and is hollow inside.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes a fastener placement slot, which is fixed to the inner wall of the box between the two iron shoe slots.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a temperature sensor, the signal output terminal of which is wiredly connected to the signal input terminal of the data transmission control module.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes an electronic lock, which is fixed to the box body and used to open and close the box lid. The signal output terminal of the electronic lock is wiredly connected to the signal input terminal of the data transmission control module.

[0016] Preferably, the system further includes a solar power generation system, which comprises a solar panel, a charge / discharge controller, a battery, and an inverter.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes a battery power monitoring module, which is electrically connected to the battery, and the signal output terminal of the battery power monitoring module is wiredly connected to the signal input terminal of the data transmission control module.

[0018] Advantages of this utility model:

[0019] 1. Monitoring the number of metal shoes in the metal shoe box. When metal shoes are placed or removed from the limit seats within the metal shoe slot, a contact switch is triggered. The signal is transmitted through the data transmission control module and LoRa gateway, and displayed on the display terminal, facilitating real-time monitoring of the number of metal shoes in the box. Remote monitoring eliminates the need for regular inspections, improving convenience, and the metal shoes do not need to be replaced, reducing costs.

[0020] 2. The iron shoe box provides stable storage for iron shoes. The limiting seat inside the iron shoe slot tilts with the inclined plate, causing the iron shoe's center of gravity to point downwards. The support plate supports the top of the iron shoe, thus elevating and limiting its position. The tray can hold the anti-theft chain for the iron shoe.

[0021] 3. Monitoring of ambient temperature inside the metal shoe box. To meet the actual needs of the station, the metal shoe box is designed to be placed outdoors. The ambient temperature has certain requirements on the battery power, so the ambient temperature is also transmitted to the display terminal as monitoring data.

[0022] 4. Battery power monitoring. Under extreme conditions, the solar power system may not be able to meet charging requirements. Therefore, the battery power is transmitted to the display terminal as monitoring data, so that the overall power supply status inside the metal shoe box can be monitored at any time.

[0023] 5. Lock Unlock Information Monitoring. Each duty officer is issued an electronic tag key with a fixed number. When the duty officer needs to retrieve or place the metal shoes, they use their own electronic tag key to open the box. This effectively records the time and personnel involved in retrieving or placing the metal shoes.

[0024] 6. Solar power supply is beneficial for power supply when placed outdoors, avoiding interference with railway tracks. Attached image description:

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a railway intermediate station iron shoe management iron shoe box system includes a box body 1, a box cover 2, a contact switch 5, a data transmission control module 6, a LoRa gateway 7, and a display terminal 8. The box cover 2 is hinged to the top of the box body 1. Two iron shoe grooves 3 are symmetrically arranged inside the box body 1. Multiple limit seats 4 are fixed in each iron shoe groove 3. The limit seats 4 have a square cross-section and are hollow inside. A contact switch 5 is provided inside the limit seats 4. The contacts of the contact switches 5 are located on the outside of the limit seats 4.

[0033] The iron shoe is placed on any of the limiting seats 4 in the iron shoe groove 3. The bottom of the iron shoe has a groove to match the rail. At this time, it can match the limiting seat 4 and be placed stably. In this embodiment, each iron shoe groove 3 preferably has three limiting seats 4, for a total of six limiting seats 4, which can hold six limiting seats 4.

[0034] The signal output terminal of the contact switch 5 is wiredly connected to the signal input terminal of the data transmission control module 6. The data transmission control module 6 is wirelessly connected to the LoRa gateway 7. The signal output terminal of the LoRa gateway 7 is wiredly connected to the signal input terminal of the display terminal 8.

[0035] Placing the metal shoe on the limit seat 4 or removing it from the limit seat 4 triggers the contact switch 5. In this embodiment, the contact switch 5 is a travel limit switch. The contact switch 5 sends a signal to the data transmission control module 6. In this embodiment, the data transmission control module 6 consists of an STM32 control module and a data transmission module. The STM32 control module receives the electrical signal triggered by the metal shoe and sends the electrical signal to the data transmission module via a serial port. The data transmission module then transmits the data wirelessly to the LoRa gateway 7. Finally, the display terminal 8 displays the changes in the storage of the metal shoes in the metal shoe box. In this embodiment, the display terminal 8 is an industrial control all-in-one machine.

[0036] When contact switch 5 is triggered, it means the metal shoe has been returned to its original position. When contact switch 5 is not triggered, it means the metal shoe has been used and its quantity has decreased. If the status inside the metal shoe box remains unchanged for a long time, the STM32 control module will inspect each contact switch 5 every 13 seconds and transmit the inspection results to the data transmission module via serial port and send the data to the LoRa wireless gateway 7. After receiving the data, the display terminal 8 will not update the display if the data has not changed. This is to achieve real-time monitoring of the number of metal shoes in the metal shoe box.

[0037] In this embodiment, the data signal reception, analysis, judgment, and final display are achieved through software functions. The software functions are divided into an electronic iron shoe box data transmission part and a display terminal receiving and display part. The electronic iron shoe box data transmission part uses the Keil microcontroller software development tool, and the display terminal receiving part uses the VS2010 development platform. The two parts are combined to realize the transmission and reception of iron shoe quantity data.

[0038] A handle 9 is fixed on the lid 2 for easy opening and closing; a waterproof strip 10 is fixed along the bottom edge of the lid 2. When the box body 1 and lid 2 are placed outdoors, the waterproof strip 10 helps prevent water from seeping into the box body 1.

[0039] Multiple hydraulic rods 11 are provided between the box body 1 and the box cover 2. The bottom end of the hydraulic rod 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the box body 1, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box cover 2. The support of the hydraulic rods 11 makes it easy to open the box cover 2.

[0040] The iron shoe groove 3 includes two side plates 3.1. An inclined plate 3.2 is fixed between one end of the two side plates 3.1 and a “7”-shaped support plate 3.3 is fixed between the other ends of the two side plates 3.1. A limiting seat 4 is fixed on the plate surface of the inclined plate 3.2 facing the support plate 3.3, and a tray 3.4 is fixed on the plate surface of the inclined plate 3.2 opposite to the support plate 3.3.

[0041] As the inclined plate 3.2 tilts, the limiting seat 4 is placed along the limiting seat 4 with the center of gravity downward. The top of the support plate 3.3 supports the iron shoe with the top inclined surface, so that the iron shoe is lifted and limited. The tray 3.4 can hold the anti-theft chain of the iron shoe.

[0042] It also includes a fastener placement slot 12, which is fixed to the inner wall of the box 1 between the two iron shoe slots 3. When storing iron shoes with fasteners, the fasteners can also be stored in the fastener placement slot 12, which is convenient for storage.

[0043] It also includes a temperature sensor 13, whose signal output terminal is wired to the signal input terminal of the data transmission control module 6. The temperature sensor 13 can be integrated inside the housing of the data transmission control module 6 to monitor the ambient temperature, transmit it through the LoRa gateway 7, and display it on the display terminal 8 to ensure that the operating environment is suitable.

[0044] It also includes an electronic lock 14, which is fixed on the housing 1. The electronic lock 14 is used to open and close the housing cover 2. The signal output terminal of the electronic lock 14 is wired to the signal input terminal of the data transmission control module 6.

[0045] In this embodiment, the electronic lock 14 is an RFID lock, which requires a fixed electronic tag key configured by the personnel to be sensed before it can be unlocked, thus ensuring security and preventing theft. The unlocking information can also be transmitted through the data transmission control module 6 via the LoRa gateway 7 and displayed on the display terminal 8 to monitor the unlocking information. This can effectively record the operation time and personnel for picking up and putting down the iron shoes.

[0046] It also includes a solar power generation system, which includes a solar panel 15, a charge / discharge controller 16, a battery 17, and an inverter 18. The solar panel 15 is embedded and fixed on the top of the cover 2. The charge / discharge controller 16, the battery 17, and the inverter 18 are placed inside the enclosure 1. The solar panel 15 is electrically connected to the charge / discharge controller 16, the charge / discharge controller 16 is electrically connected to the battery 17, the battery 17 is electrically connected to the inverter 18, and the inverter 18 is electrically connected to the contact switch 5, the data transmission control module 6, the temperature sensor 13, and the electronic lock 14, respectively.

[0047] The solar panel 15 generates electricity, which is then charged to the battery 17 via the charge and discharge controller 16. The inverter 18 converts the DC power from the battery 17 into AC power for use by electrical appliances. In this embodiment, the electrical appliances include a contact switch 5, a data transmission control module 6, a temperature sensor 13, an electronic lock 14, and a battery power monitoring module 19.

[0048] It also includes a battery power monitoring module 19, which is electrically connected to the battery 17. The signal output terminal of the battery power monitoring module 19 is wiredly connected to the signal input terminal of the data transmission control module 6. The battery power monitoring module 19 monitors the power of the battery 17 and displays it on the display terminal 8.

[0049] Working principle: When using this utility model, the iron shoe box of this embodiment is placed next to the outdoor railway. The box cover 2 is opened and closed to open and close the box body 1. The iron shoes are taken out and placed on the limiting seat 4 in the iron shoe groove 3. When taking out and placing, the contact switch 5 is triggered, and the signal is sent to the data transmission control module 6. The data transmission control module 6 transmits the data to the LoRa gateway 7 wirelessly. Finally, the storage changes of the iron shoes in the iron shoe box are displayed on the display terminal 8.

[0050] Advantages: 1. Monitoring the number of metal shoes in the metal shoe box. Metal shoes are placed or removed from the limit seat 4 within the metal shoe slot 3, triggering the contact switch 5. The signal is transmitted through the data transmission control module 6 and the LoRa gateway 7, and displayed on the display terminal 8, facilitating real-time monitoring of the number of metal shoes in the box. Remote monitoring eliminates the need for regular inspections, improving convenience, and the metal shoes do not need to be replaced, reducing costs.

[0051] 2. The iron shoe box stably stores the iron shoes. The limiting seat 4 inside the iron shoe groove 3 tilts with the inclined plate 3.2, so the center of gravity of the iron shoe is downward. The support plate 3.3 supports the top of the iron shoe, so that the iron shoe is lifted and limited. The tray 3.4 can hold the anti-theft chain of the iron shoe.

[0052] 3. Monitoring of ambient temperature inside the metal shoe box. To meet the actual needs of the station, the metal shoe box is designed to be placed outdoors. The ambient temperature has certain requirements on the battery power, so the ambient temperature is also transmitted to the display terminal as monitoring data.

[0053] 4. Battery power monitoring. Under extreme conditions, the solar power system may not be able to meet charging requirements. Therefore, the battery power is transmitted to the display terminal as monitoring data, so that the overall power supply status inside the metal shoe box can be monitored at any time.
