[0002] Currently, the hydraulic systems of large railway maintenance machinery rely heavily on distributed monitoring systems. These systems typically collect and transmit hydraulic data using independent sensors and control equipment, with common monitoring parameters including pressure and temperature. However, due to the lack of a comprehensive data acquisition and monitoring system design for large machinery hydraulic systems, existing technologies have several limitations.

Second, traditional wired transmission methods are often susceptible to interference in complex working environments (such as high-frequency vibration and electromagnetic interference), resulting in poor data transmission reliability and potentially even interruption or loss of important data. Furthermore, most existing systems lack integrated control, have complex wiring, high maintenance costs, and cannot provide real-time fault warnings, increasing equipment downtime and reducing the efficiency and safety of railway maintenance.

[0026] Example 1:
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a control terminal for hydraulic data acquisition in large machinery operations, characterized in that it includes:
[0028] The system comprises a power supply module 1, a surge protection module 2, an industrial control computer 3, a GPS positioning module 4, and an alarm light module 5. The power supply module 1 converts external 220V AC power to 24V DC power. The surge protection module 2 is connected to the power supply module 1 and also to an external data acquisition box. The industrial control computer 3 is connected to both the power supply module 1 and the surge protection module 2. The GPS positioning module 4 is connected to the industrial control computer 3 and is used to acquire the real-time geographical location information of the main unit. The alarm light module 5 is connected to the industrial control computer 3 and is used to trigger an audible and visual alarm when the industrial control computer 3 detects an abnormality in the hydraulic system.
[0029] It is understood that this utility model integrates multiple modules, including a power supply module 1, a surge protection module 2, an industrial control computer 3, a GPS positioning module 4, and an alarm light module 5. The power supply module 1 converts 220V AC power to 24V DC power to supply the terminal system; the surge protection module 2 provides effective overvoltage protection to ensure data transmission stability; the industrial control computer 3, through an integrated data acquisition system, monitors various data of the hydraulic system in real time and provides fault warnings; the GPS positioning module 4 can obtain the geographical location of the operating equipment in real time, ensuring the correlation between data and the operating environment; and the alarm light module 5 provides immediate audible and visual alarms when abnormalities occur in the hydraulic system. This design, through integrated hardware and intelligent control, simplifies system wiring, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the stability and reliability of the monitoring system. It also enables real-time data transmission, significantly improving the efficiency and safety of railway maintenance operations. The industrial control computer 3 uses an aluminum alloy die-cast shell with a dustproof and corrosion-resistant coating, achieving an IP65 protection rating, effectively resisting dust, oil, and liquid splashes in the large machine operating environment. As the core control hardware, the industrial control all-in-one computer, with its fully enclosed dustproof design, multi-size adaptability, and rich industrial interfaces, can meet the harsh environmental requirements of large machine operation sites.
[0030] The surge protection module 2 includes resistors R1, R2, and R3, gas discharge tubes U2, U3, U4, U5, U6, and U7, a diode D2, RS485 differential signal line A, and RS485 differential signal line B. Resistors R1 and R3 are connected in series with RS485 differential signal line A and RS485 differential signal line B, respectively. The two ends of resistor R2 are connected to RS485 differential signal line A and RS485 differential signal line B, respectively. Gas discharge tubes U2, R1, R3, U4, U5, U6, and U7 form a protection circuit, and each gas discharge tube is connected in series with resistors R1 and R3, respectively.
[0031] When the external surge voltage exceeds a preset threshold, the surge protection module 2 activates the protection circuit and discharges the surge energy to the ground.
[0032] It is understandable that the surge protection module 2, through the series and parallel combination of resistors R1, R2, R3 and multiple gas discharge tubes U2 to U7, forms a powerful protection circuit that can effectively suppress overvoltages caused by external lightning strikes, surge voltages, and other factors, ensuring the stable operation of the equipment. Resistors R1 and R3 are connected in series on RS485 differential signal lines A and B to limit the surge current amplitude in the signal, thereby protecting subsequent circuits from overvoltage. Resistor R2 plays an adjustment role on the RS485 differential signal line, making the signal transmission more stable and accurate. The purpose of this resistor configuration is to ensure that the transmission of differential signals is not affected by current surges and electromagnetic interference.
[0033] Gas discharge tubes U2 through U7 form a comprehensive protection circuit. These tubes have a very fast response capability; when the external voltage exceeds a set threshold, they quickly conduct and discharge the excessive voltage through the ground wire, preventing surge voltage from directly entering other parts of the system. Each gas discharge tube is connected in series with resistors R1 and R3, ensuring that the gas discharge tubes can effectively share and absorb instantaneous voltage surges, avoiding damage to the circuit.
[0034] Furthermore, diode D2 plays a protective role in the circuit. Connected in parallel with other components, it prevents circuit damage caused by reverse current flow. In summary, this surge protection module 2, through the careful design of the resistor and the gas discharge tube, can quickly and effectively protect the hydraulic data acquisition system from lightning strikes or electrical surges, reducing the risk of system failure.
[0035] In surge protection module 2, resistors R1 and R3 are 4.7Ω / 2W resistors, connected in series to the RS485 differential signal lines (A and B lines) to limit the surge current amplitude and prevent large currents from directly impacting subsequent circuits. U3 to U7 are B3D090L-C type gas discharge tubes. When the surge voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold (90V), the gas discharge tubes quickly conduct, dissipating the surge energy to ground, with a clamping voltage ≤300V. R2 is a 120Ω terminating resistor, connected in parallel across the RS485 bus to match the transmission line characteristic impedance (approximately 120Ω), reducing signal reflection and improving communication stability.
[0036] The GPS positioning module 4 is connected to the industrial control computer 3 via a CH340N USB-to-serial chip to convert TTL level signals to USB signals.
[0037] The industrial control computer 3 is connected to the alarm light via a CH340N USB-to-serial chip.
[0038] It is understandable that using the CH340N chip to convert between USB and TTL levels not only ensures stable data communication between the GPS positioning module 4 and the alarm light and the industrial control computer 3, but also improves the system's flexibility and compatibility, avoiding signal loss or connection problems caused by interface incompatibility. Furthermore, this simplified solution helps reduce the complexity and cost of system design, making the entire hydraulic data acquisition system more efficient and economical.
[0039] The alarm module includes a surface-mount relay HF4, diodes D3 and D4, transistor Q1, resistors R4, R5, and R6, operational amplifier U10, and an alarm light ALARM. The surface-mount relay HF4 is connected in series with the +24V power supply, the alarm light ALARM, and the collector of transistor Q1. The surface-mount relay HF4 is connected in parallel with diodes D3 and D4. The emitter of transistor Q1 is grounded. The base of transistor Q1 is connected to one end of resistor R5 and one end of resistor R6. The other end of resistor R6 is grounded. The other end of resistor R5 is connected to the feedback terminal of operational amplifier U10. The input terminal of operational amplifier U10 is connected to resistor R4.
[0040] Understandably, this alarm module, through reasonable component selection and circuit design, can quickly trigger the alarm light when the hydraulic system malfunctions, ensuring that operators can take timely measures to prevent the fault from escalating. The combination of relays, transistors, operational amplifiers, and resistors ensures the stability and reliability of the circuit, preventing circuit damage caused by component failure or reverse current. Furthermore, the protective function of diodes greatly improves the system's anti-interference capability and durability, ensuring system stability and alarm accuracy during long-term operation. Through this module's design, the system can quickly and accurately respond to and provide feedback on the hydraulic system's operating status, improving the overall monitoring system's response efficiency and safety.
[0041] The power module 1 has an output voltage of 24V, a rated power of 300W, and an output current of 12.5A.
[0042] Understandably, the design of power module 1 not only ensures stable voltage output but also achieves reliable system power supply through high power output and high current support. Its 300W rated power allows the module to support multiple modules operating simultaneously under various working conditions without easily experiencing overload or insufficient power supply issues. This design enhances system stability and anti-interference capabilities, especially in harsh working environments, ensuring continuous operation of the hydraulic data acquisition system and providing reliable data acquisition and processing functions. Furthermore, the 12.5A output current design allows power module 1 to support the expansion of more additional modules, providing strong flexibility.
[0043] Furthermore, the power module 1 adopts a silent potting upgrade process, which enhances the protective performance of the power module 1 and improves its dustproof, moisture-proof and corrosion-proof capabilities, making it suitable for the harsh operating environment of large machines.
[0044] The circuits of the GPS positioning module 4, the lightning protection module 2, and the alarm light module 5 are integrated on the same circuit board.
[0045] Understandably, the technical benefits of integrated circuit board design are primarily reflected in improved system reliability, anti-interference capabilities, ease of installation, and maintenance efficiency. By integrating the GPS positioning module 4, lightning protection module 2, and alarm light module 5 onto the same circuit board, the system not only effectively reduces wiring complexity and external connection errors but also demonstrates higher stability and long-term reliable operation in practical applications. Furthermore, this integrated design significantly improves the coordination efficiency between modules, enabling the system to quickly respond to changes in the external environment and ensuring real-time monitoring and alarm functions for the hydraulic system.
[0046] The lightning protection module 2 is connected to the external data acquisition box and the industrial control computer 3 via an RS485 bus.
[0047] It is understood that the connection between the surge protection module 2, the data acquisition box, and the industrial control computer 3 is achieved through an RS485 bus. This allows the system to maintain efficient and stable communication performance while effectively preventing the impact of external electrical interference. The integrated protection of the surge protection module 2 not only improves the reliability of the entire system but also ensures the continuous stability of data acquisition and transmission under extreme environments.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
