Abstract

Technical Field

[0002] The Thales VOBC signaling system for subways uses accelerometers to measure position and train speed. The accelerometers are installed on the floor of the train body and are greatly affected by the vibration of the subway train and the gradient, resulting in large fluctuations in the accelerometer readings and a lot of false alarms.
[0003] The existing method for adjusting train accelerometers mainly involves adding or removing aluminum shims between the train floor plate and the accelerometer base to adjust the accelerometer's level. However, the size and shape of the aluminum shims are subject to significant human error during cutting, and the shims are prone to displacement, resulting in large fluctuations in the accelerometer readings. Adjusting a single accelerometer takes approximately 30 minutes, which is a lengthy process.
[0004] Therefore, an installation device for an accelerometer in a subway VOBC signal system is provided to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
