Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ATP equipment testing technology for high-speed trains, specifically to a real-time monitoring device for ATP power supply and track circuit. Background Technology
[0002] During operation or startup, the ATP (Automatic Train Protection) system on high-speed trains may experience mid-journey stops or fail to start normally due to power supply or relay failures. When such failures occur, it is difficult for electrical and onboard maintenance personnel to quickly determine the cause, especially for power supply fluctuations, which are even more challenging to diagnose. To more quickly determine whether ATP operational abnormalities are caused by abnormal power supply fluctuations, real-time monitoring of the ATP equipment's power supply is necessary, with alarms triggered when abnormalities occur.
[0003] Track circuits are a crucial component of railway traffic safety. However, they suffer from drawbacks such as high inductance, high leakage conductivity, large traction current, and crosstalk interference. Due to the complexity of the transmission system, various external interferences are inevitably superimposed. These interferences can affect signaling equipment and even jeopardize traffic safety. Therefore, it is essential to provide a means for online real-time data acquisition and analysis.
[0004] High-speed trains have extremely stringent requirements for the stability of onboard equipment. The technical specifications for various equipment clearly define the specific parameter ranges required for their operation, including temperature, humidity, and smoke concentration. Abnormal temperature, humidity, and smoke concentration can adversely affect the normal operation and lifespan of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the operating environment of onboard equipment to promptly identify potential faults or safety hazards. Summary of the Invention
