Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of train speed measuring instrument technology, and in particular to a speed measuring device installed on the bottom of a train. Background Technology

[0002] In modern railway transportation, accurate train speed measurement is crucial for safe operation and system scheduling. Traditional speed measurement technologies mainly include track speed measurement, wheel and axle speed measurement, and GPS speed measurement. While these methods can provide train speed information to some extent, they each have limitations, such as sensitivity to environmental conditions, installation complexity, and maintenance difficulty. To address these issues, in recent years, non-contact speed measurement devices, especially laser velocimeters, have been gradually introduced into railway systems, providing a high-precision and real-time monitoring solution.

[0003] However, installing non-contact speed measuring devices such as laser velocimeters on the underside of trains presents a series of technical challenges. First, strong airflow is generated under the train during high-speed travel. This airflow can not only affect the propagation of the laser beam but also disturb the installation position of the speed measuring device, thus affecting measurement accuracy. Second, the area under the train is a complex working environment, often containing hard objects such as gravel and debris. These objects may directly impact and damage the speed measuring device during high-speed train travel. Furthermore, most existing speed measuring devices lack effective protective structures, making them vulnerable to damage in this complex environment, reducing the reliability and lifespan of the equipment.

This invention provides a speed measuring device installed at the bottom of a train. This device features a trapezoidal protective cover on the outside of the speed measuring instrument, providing comprehensive protection and enhancing its safety. Furthermore, this trapezoidal protective cover can guide the airflow generated by the train's movement, reducing damage to the speed measuring instrument. Simultaneously, it prevents direct contact between the airflow and the speed measuring instrument, ensuring its stability and improving the accuracy of the detection data.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 8 This invention further illustrates a specific embodiment of a speed measuring device installed on the bottom of a train. It overcomes the shortcomings of existing speed measuring devices, which often lack effective protective structures, making them susceptible to damage in complex environments and reducing their reliability and lifespan. This speed measuring device features a trapezoidal protective cover around the speedometer, providing comprehensive protection and enhancing its safety. Furthermore, this trapezoidal cover guides the airflow generated by the train's movement, reducing damage to the speedometer. It also prevents direct contact between the airflow and the speedometer, ensuring its stability and improving the accuracy of the detection data. This invention, a speed measuring device installed on the bottom of a train, is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] This embodiment provides a speed measuring device installed on the bottom of a train, such as...

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution:

[0033] Working principle: When using this speed measuring device, the main mounting plate 1 is first fixedly installed at a predetermined position on the bottom of the train. Then, the matching speed measuring instrument is assembled from bottom to top inside the mounting plate 12. Finally, the protective cover 2 is installed below the main mounting plate 1. After the protective cover 2 is installed, it covers the speed measuring instrument 4, forming a protective structure. During the speed measuring period, the speed measuring port 21 is in the open state, and during the non-speed measuring period, the speed measuring port 21 is in the closed state.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the speed measuring device 4, in this embodiment, locking slots 120 are provided on both sides of the mounting kit 12. The engaging component 6 includes a main component 60 and a wedge pin 62. The main component 60 has a cavity 600 inside. The wedge pin 62 is fixedly connected to the cavity 600 by a spring 61.
