Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of roof-mounted jumper cable testing devices, and in particular to a roof-mounted jumper cable testing device. Background Technology
[0002] The roof-mounted jumper cable is a crucial electrical component for power transmission between vehicles in a high-speed train. When a train travels along curved tracks, relative misalignment and swaying occur between adjacent carriages, causing the roof-mounted jumper cable to experience varying degrees of stretching or compression as the train moves along the track. In such situations, if the cable is too long, it may slip off the protective rubber pad, risking scratches and wasting materials, thus increasing product costs. If the cable is too short, it may stretch during train operation, causing the cable joint to detach or even be damaged. Therefore, the appropriate length of the roof-mounted jumper cable is extremely important for the safe operation of the train. To simulate actual train operation, intuitively and effectively assess the usage of the jumper cable, and provide a basis for selecting the appropriate roof-mounted jumper cable length, a high-speed train roof-mounted jumper cable simulation test bench is needed.
[0003] Currently, the length of jumper cables is generally determined by simulation calculation. However, due to the differences in materials, weight, and physical properties among different jumper cables, simulation calculations are difficult to accurately determine a reasonable cable length. Therefore, the calculated jumper cable length needs further verification. The length of jumper cables is generally determined by simulation calculation, small-curve testing, or jumper cable simulation fixtures. However, simulation calculation has a high barrier to entry, the performance of cables used in actual applications is diverse, and a unified simulation calculation formula is difficult to fully consider the actual operating conditions of vehicles. Furthermore, the results of simulation calculations require further experimental verification. On the other hand, small-curve testing is costly and has a long verification cycle. Existing fixture simulation methods often use multi-vehicle, multi-model cable comprehensive simulation test benches, which deviate significantly from the actual operating conditions of jumper cables on the roof of high-speed trains. Moreover, simulating misalignment of carriages by moving components on rails does not accurately reflect the actual operating conditions of vehicles.
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a test device for jumper cables on the roof of a high-speed train, which can conveniently and quickly simulate and analyze the state of the jumper cables to be tested on the roof of the high-speed train during train operation.
