Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of locomotive equipment monitoring technology, and in particular to a control cabinet for a TRDS on-board external equipment image monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] As the foundation and key component of locomotive operation, the running gear's operational status directly affects the locomotive's safety and operational efficiency. During long-term operation, critical components of the onboard equipment may experience malfunctions such as loss, cracking, leakage, or loosening. Traditional detection methods primarily rely on periodic manual inspections or simple sensor monitoring. Manual inspections suffer from subjectivity, low efficiency, and the inability to provide real-time monitoring, while simple sensor monitoring struggles to obtain comprehensive status information for the running gear. With the development of railway transportation towards high-speed and heavy-haul operations, the requirements for locomotive running gear inspection are increasingly stringent, and existing inspection methods are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of ensuring safe and efficient locomotive operation. Therefore, developing a device capable of real-time, accurate, and comprehensive monitoring of the locomotive running gear's status has become an urgent priority. Utility Model Content

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 A control cabinet for a TRDS vehicle-mounted external device image monitoring system is characterized by comprising a cabinet body, the cabinet body being made of high-strength, fireproof, dustproof, and waterproof materials, and the cabinet body having standardized interfaces for connecting various modules.

[0027] The image acquisition module comprises multiple high-resolution, low-light cameras installed at key locations on the locomotive's running gear. These cameras feature autofocus and image stabilization, and their field of view covers critical areas of the running gear. The image acquisition module is a crucial front-end for acquiring dynamic information about the running gear. Multiple high-definition industrial line scan cameras are meticulously mounted along the sides and bottom of the track. Equipped with autofocus and image stabilization, these cameras consistently capture clear and stable images of the running gear even under high-speed locomotive operation and complex lighting conditions. Furthermore, the precise design of the camera's field of view ensures that all key parts of the running gear are within the monitoring range, eliminating blind spots and providing comprehensive and accurate raw image data for subsequent data processing and analysis.

[0028] The data processing module employs a high-performance processor and incorporates advanced image recognition algorithms to process image data transmitted from the image acquisition module and identify the status of running gear components. The data processing module uses a high-performance processor as its core computing unit and incorporates advanced image recognition algorithms. These algorithms have been trained on a large amount of running gear image data, enabling them to process massive amounts of image data transmitted from the image acquisition module quickly and accurately. Once an anomaly is detected, the data processing module rapidly generates detailed alarm information, providing a basis for timely maintenance measures.

[0029] The storage module is a high-capacity solid-state drive (SSD) with data backup capabilities, used to store raw image data and processed analysis results. The storage module uses a high-capacity SSD to store the raw image data acquired by the image acquisition module and the analysis results processed by the data processing module. To prevent data loss, the storage module has a comprehensive data backup function, automatically backing up important data to external storage devices according to a set time period.

[0030] The communication module supports multiple communication protocols for transmitting alarm information and real-time image data to the locomotive's central control system and the ground monitoring center. It supports various protocols such as 4G, 5G, and WiFi, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission between the control cabinet, the locomotive's central control system, and the ground monitoring center. Through this module, alarm information generated by the data processing module and real-time image data from the running gear can be quickly and stably transmitted to the relevant systems.

[0031] The power supply module employs voltage regulation and filtering technology, and features overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection functions, providing a stable power supply to all modules. It utilizes advanced voltage regulation and filtering technology to provide a stable and clean power supply to all modules within the control cabinet. Simultaneously, the module integrates overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection functions, which can quickly cut off the power supply in the event of abnormal power fluctuations or short-circuit faults, protecting the modules from damage. A backup power supply is also provided to ensure the control cabinet continues to operate stably even during power outages, providing a solid power guarantee for the reliable operation of the entire monitoring system.

[0032] In this embodiment, the image acquisition module has six high-definition industrial line scan cameras, distributed on both sides and the bottom of the track.

[0033] In this embodiment, the image recognition algorithm of the data processing module can identify faults such as loss, cracking, leakage, and looseness in key parts of the equipment.

[0034] In this embodiment, the communication modules support communication protocols including 4G, 5G, and WiFi.

[0035] In this embodiment, the power module can adapt to a large fluctuation range of locomotive power supply voltage.

[0036] Installation process

[0037] During installation, according to design requirements, the TRDS vehicle-mounted external equipment image monitoring system control cabinet was installed in a suitable location beside the rail. First, the cabinet was secured to the base beside the rail, ensuring a firm installation. Then, following the standardized interfaces, the camera, data processing module, storage module, communication module, and power supply module of the image acquisition module were connected sequentially. After connection, each module's connection was checked to ensure it was correct and reliable.

[0038] Running process

[0039] When the locomotive is running, the camera in the image acquisition module captures dynamic images of the running gear in real time and transmits the image data to the data processing module. The data processing module processes and analyzes the image data; if an abnormality is detected in the running gear, it immediately generates an alarm message and transmits the alarm message and related image data to the locomotive's central control system and the ground monitoring center via the communication module. Simultaneously, the storage module stores the acquired image data and processing results for later retrieval and analysis.
