Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vibration monitoring technology, and in particular to a vibration monitoring system for railway perimeter optical cables that reduces interference noise. Background Technology

[0002] A railway perimeter optical cable vibration monitoring system based on fiber optic sensing technology reflects the vibration interference experienced by the optical cable by monitoring the phase changes of the laser signal in the cable, thereby determining whether there is intrusion or other abnormalities at the railway perimeter. In practical applications, environmental noise (such as wind noise, rain noise, track vibration, and vibration from surrounding vehicles) can interfere with the optical cable vibration signal, leading to an increased false alarm rate and decreased monitoring accuracy. Therefore, effectively reducing noise interference, decreasing the false alarm rate, and improving alarm accuracy have become urgent technical problems to be solved in railway perimeter optical cable vibration monitoring systems.

[0021] The following describes a specific embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the railway perimeter optical cable vibration monitoring system for reducing interference noise provided by this utility model includes an optical cable laying component, a vibration acquisition unit 11, a vibration filtering unit 12, and an alarm and recording unit 13. The optical cable laying component includes a fence laying unit, a wall laying unit, and a ground laying unit.

[0023] Specifically, the fence deployment unit includes a fence base 1, multiple fence railings 2 and fixing clips 3. The optical cable is fixed to the fence railings 2 by the fixing clips 3, and the optical cable 4 located between two adjacent fence railings 2 hangs down naturally.

[0024] The fence deployment unit includes a fence base 5, a fence panel 6, and multiple fixing clips 3. Multiple fences are installed on the fence panel, and the optical cable is installed on the fence through the fixing clips 3. The optical cable 4 located between two fences hangs down naturally.

[0025] The ground deployment unit includes, from bottom to top, the original soil layer 7, the sand layer 8, the backfill soil layer 9, and the surface layer 10, with the optical cable located in the sand layer 8.

[0026] The above-mentioned deployment method can reduce the probability of wind, rain, track vibration, and vibration of surrounding vehicles triggering the alarm and recording unit 13, thereby improving accuracy.

[0027] In this embodiment, the vibration acquisition unit 11, an optical cable vibration sensor, is used to acquire the vibration of the optical cable and transmit the signal to the vibration filtering unit 12. During this process, the signal is converted into an electronic signal by the photoelectric signal conversion unit.

[0028] The vibration filtering unit 12 performs primary filtering on the collected vibration signal, using a low-pass filter to remove high-frequency interference noise (such as wind noise, rain noise, etc.) and retain the low-frequency vibration signal.

[0029] The primary filter in this embodiment is an adjustable filter with a pass frequency of 1-20000Hz.

[0030] After filtering, the vibration signal can be further decomposed. Specifically, the filtered vibration signal is decomposed into component signals of multiple frequency bands through wavelet transform in order to separate the effective signal and the interference noise signal.

[0031] In some other embodiments, the decomposed signal is compared and identified by a preset interference noise feature library, an adaptive filtering algorithm is used to remove interference noise components, retain the effective vibration signal, and then the effective vibration signal is reconstructed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0032] Alternatively, machine learning algorithms (such as convolutional neural networks CNN) can be used to classify and identify the reconstructed signal to determine whether it is a valid vibration event (train passing by or colliding with, climbing or other intrusive behavior) or environmental interference noise (wind and rain or nearby construction).

[0033] The alarm and recording unit 13 triggers an alarm and records event information after identifying a valid vibration event. If it is interference noise, it ignores it and continues monitoring.

[0034] In addition, alarm methods include, but are not limited to, SMS, relay, and email alerts.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
