Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the operation of subway drivers opening and closing doors on the platform. Specifically, it relates to the use of this device to confirm the safety of the gap between the train door and the platform door after the subway driver has closed the platform door. In particular, it relates to an auxiliary device for confirming the safety of the gap on the subway platform. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of subways, their share of urban public transportation is increasing, thus requiring sufficient attention and improvement to subway service and safety. Opening and closing subway platform doors is a high-frequency, high-risk operation, inevitably placing higher demands on drivers. Furthermore, uncivilized passenger behavior has led to numerous incidents of people or objects being trapped in moving trains, with incalculable consequences and impacts.

[0003] Currently, platform door opening and closing operations mainly rely on driver visual inspection. When the driver notices an abnormality between the platform door and the train door, they should take measures to reopen and close the door to prevent people, objects, or the train from being trapped. Therefore, driver visual inspection is crucial and must not be neglected. Strong execution and supervision are essential, and this needs to be reinforced through technological means.

[0004] Currently, subway drivers generally use a "hand gesture and verbal confirmation" method to check the opening and closing of train doors and platform doors, as well as the safety of the gap between the train doors and platform doors. However, due to a lack of effective supervision and reminders, this method often becomes merely a formality when drivers are performing these procedures on-site. To address this issue, this invention replaces the "hand gesture and verbal confirmation" method with a "touch confirmation" method. The driver confirms what they see on-site by pressing a button on the device. Simultaneously, the device collects on-site data and compares it with the driver's confirmation within a specified time. If the driver fails to confirm within the specified time or confirms incorrectly, the device automatically triggers an alarm to provide timely and effective reminders, ensuring that the driver correctly performs the procedures within the specified time and that they are effectively implemented. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an auxiliary device for confirming safety gaps at subway stations, aiming to improve the problem that the existing technology is merely a formality in the process of drivers performing on-site work standards due to the lack of effective supervision and reminders.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A subway platform clearance safety confirmation auxiliary device includes a base, a support seat slidably connected to the top of the base, a metal frame fixedly connected to the top of the support seat, a platform door slidably connected inside the metal frame, an operation control box fixedly connected to one side of the metal frame, a digital tube display screen fixedly connected to the upper part of the operation control box, a control component disposed near the middle of the outer side of the operation control box, an audible and visual buzzer fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer side of the operation control box, and a lighting component fixedly connected to one side of the outer side of the metal frame.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The control component includes a light strip button, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the operation control box at a position near the middle. A switch button is fixedly connected to the outside of the operation control box, and the light strip button is located above the switch button.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The lighting assembly includes a mounting bracket, which is externally fixedly connected to one side of the metal frame. A support plate is externally fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and a light strip is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This utility model primarily focuses on the driver's operational perspective, standardizing the management of the driver's door opening and closing operations while on duty, thus ensuring safe train operation. Without altering the existing platform door functions, it enables the safety confirmation and alarm notification functions for the gap between the train door and the platform door. By replacing the "hand gesture and verbal call" method with "touch confirmation," it achieves "external control" instead of "self-control," enhancing the train driver's ability to confirm the gap between the train door and the platform door, and providing more effective supervision and reminders for the driver's operations, ensuring the safety and reliability of door opening and closing operations.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Reference Figures 2 to 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a subway platform gap safety confirmation auxiliary device, including a base 1, which is the basic support part of the entire device. A support seat 2 is slidably connected to the top of the base 1. The support seat 2 is used to provide a stable installation foundation for the metal frame 3 and ensure the stability of the metal frame 3. The metal frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support seat 2. The metal frame 3 is made of high-strength metal material and has good structural strength and stability. A platform door 4 is slidably connected inside the metal frame 3. During the opening and closing of the door, the platform door 4 slides smoothly along the track of the metal frame 3 to ensure passenger safety. An operation control box 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the metal frame 3. The operation control box 5 is installed at the driver's standing position at the front of the train and is connected to a DC 5V power supply VCC. The operation control box 5 is equipped with an STC89C52 microcontroller. The STC89C52 microcontroller is responsible for receiving, processing and outputting the signal data of the entire device.

[0022] A digital tube display screen 6 is fixedly connected to the upper exterior of the operation control box 5. When the platform door 4 closes, the digital tube display screen 6 displays a countdown. If the countdown reaches zero without confirmation by the light strip button 7, the audible and visual buzzer 9 is triggered as a working reminder. If the information displayed on the tail light strip does not match the information input by the light strip confirmation button, the digital tube displays "ERR" and the audible and visual buzzer 9 is triggered. If the information displayed on the tail light strip matches the information input by the light strip confirmation button, the digital tube displays "666". The operation control box 5 is fixedly located near the center of the exterior. A light strip button 7 is fixedly connected to the control box 5. The light strip button 7 is divided into yellow K1, green K2 and blue K3. A switch button 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the control box 5. The switch button 8 includes platform door 4 opening K4 and platform door 4 closing K5. An audible and visual buzzer 9 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the control box 5. The buzzer emits a warning sound and light to remind the driver that the platform door 4 and the gap between the doors have not been properly confirmed and that the driver needs to observe again. The light strip button 7 is located above the switch button 8. A lighting component is fixedly connected to one side of the metal frame 3.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The lighting assembly includes a mounting bracket 10, which has good structural strength and stability and serves to connect and fix the support plate 11. The mounting bracket 10 is externally fixed to one side of the metal frame 3. The support plate 11 is externally fixed to the mounting bracket 10. The support plate 11 provides a platform for the installation and fixing of the light strip 12. The light strip 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 11. The light strip 12 can emit yellow, green and blue light. The tail light strip randomly lights up different colors. The driver can only see the complete tail light strip and judge the color of the light strip by carefully checking the gap between the vehicle door and the platform door.

[0024] Working principle: The driver presses button K5 on the control box 5 to close platform door 4. After platform door 4 is closed, the light strip 12 on support plate 11 will emit a random color of light, either yellow, green, or blue. At the same time, the timer function starts a 15-second countdown on the sliding plate. During the 15-second operation time of the sliding plate, the driver needs to confirm that the gap is safe and press the light strip button 7K1, K2, or K3 corresponding to the color displayed by the light strip. If the light strip button 7 pressed by the driver matches the color of the light emitted by light strip 12, the countdown stops, and the digital tube display 6 displays the red number "666", indicating that the driver's touch confirmation is correct and the driver can proceed to the next standardized operation. If the light strip button 7 pressed by the driver does not match the light color, the digital tube display 6 displays the red word "ERR" and outputs alarm signal parameters to the sound and light buzzer 9 circuit. The sound and light buzzer 9 emits a corresponding prompt sound and light, reminding the driver that the platform door 4 and the gap between the car door have not been correctly confirmed and that further observation is required.
