Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of axle counting equipment technology, specifically an axle counting device for a subway signaling system. Background Technology

[0002] In modern subway systems, axle counting equipment is a commonly used device. It uses closed-loop sensors installed on the rails to monitor the number of train wheelsets passing by. After being detected by a microcomputer system located indoors and the gate, the wheelset count of the station is sent to the destination station using semi-automatic equipment. When the train arrives at the destination station, the destination station automatically opens the section when the received wheelset count is the same as that of the departure station.

[0003] The outdoor part of the axle counting equipment in the subway signaling system mainly consists of a magnetic head and an electronic receiver box. The magnetic head works by cutting the disturbance signal generated by the magnetic field of the receiving coil through the axle, and then transmits the signal to the axle counting equipment through the cable. However, due to the subway environment, the cable connectors of the axle counting equipment are very prone to falling off due to aging and vibration. Utility Model Content

The cable connector is connected to the axle counting sensor and is a cylindrical multi-hole aviation plug. A communication cable is connected to the cable connector via a quick-release assembly.

[0007] The quick-release assembly includes a quick-release socket, which is fitted onto a cable connector. The inner side of the quick-release socket has several fixing holes. The cable connector has several elastic clips that mutually limit each other with the fixing holes. The cable connector has several inserts on its ring. The inner ring of the quick-release socket has several slots. The inserts are inserted into the slots. The ends of the slots have several fixing grooves.

[0008] Preferably, one side of the mounting base is fixed to the rail by a pair of threaded structures.

[0009] Preferably, after the insert is rotated at the end of the slot, it will be inserted into the fixing groove, and at the same time, the elastic buckle will be inserted into the fixing hole.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] See Figure 1-4 This application discloses an axle counting device for a subway signal system, including a mounting base 1. One side of the mounting base 1 is reliably fixed to the rail by a pair of threaded structures. A sensor housing 2 is provided on the mounting base 1. The sensor housing 2 on the mounting base 1 is fitted to the inner side of the rail to ensure that the axle counting sensor 3 maintains a precise and constant gap with the rail.

[0022] A shaft counting sensor 3 is installed inside the sensor housing 2, and a cable connector 4 is installed on the mounting base 1. The cable connector 4 is connected to the shaft counting sensor 3. The cable connector 4 is a cylindrical multi-hole aviation plug. A communication cable 6 is connected to the cable connector 4 through a quick-release assembly 5. The quick-release assembly 5 is used to securely connect the components, effectively solving the problem of connector detachment caused by vibration.

[0023] Specifically, the quick-release assembly 5 includes a quick-release socket 51, which is fitted onto the cable connector 4. The inner side of the quick-release socket 51 is provided with several fixing holes 56. The cable connector 4 is provided with several elastic buckles 52, which mutually limit each other with the fixing holes 56. The cable connector 4 is provided with several inserts 53, and the inner ring of the quick-release socket 51 is provided with several slots 54. The inserts 53 are inserted into the slots 54, and the ends of the slots 54 are provided with several fixing grooves 55. When connecting, the inserts 53 are aligned and inserted into the slots 54, and then the quick-release socket 51 is rotated. The ends of the inserts 53 are then locked into the fixing grooves 55 to form circumferential limiting. At the same time, the elastic buckles 52 automatically spring into the fixing holes 56 to form vertical locking, achieving double locking and significantly improving vibration resistance and pull-out resistance.

[0024] After the insert 53 is inserted into the end of the slot 54 and rotated, the insert 53 will be locked into the fixing groove 55, and at the same time the elastic buckle 52 will be locked into the fixing hole 56. This "insert-rotate double lock" mechanism is easy to operate and the connection is firm and reliable.

[0025] The sensor housing 2 and the mounting base 1 are connected and limited by the inverted T-shaped buffer pad 7 and fixed by a pair of fixing bolts 9. The buffer pad 7 can effectively absorb the vibration energy transmitted by the track, reduce the impact on the sensor body and connection, and avoid vibration affecting the position of the cable connector 4. The fixing bolts 9 ensure the overall installation is stable.

[0026] The sensor housing 2 is equipped with a status detection light 8 on its exterior. The status detection light 8 is used to display the working status of the axis counting sensor 3. Multi-color LED lights are used to intuitively reflect the magnetic field signal strength and communication connection status, which facilitates rapid on-site diagnosis.

[0027] The insert 53 is a plate with an elongated oval structure. The slot 54 passes through one side of the opening of the quick-release socket 51. The elongated oval asymmetrical cross-section design can effectively prevent misinsertion and ensure the uniqueness and correctness of the assembly.

[0028] The quick-release socket 51 is a cylindrical plate with a polygonal operating block on its exterior. The polygonal design makes it easy to hold and apply rotational torque manually. The special surface treatment enhances friction, making disassembly and assembly operations more convenient and efficient.

[0029] The axle counter sensor is a core device used to detect when train wheels pass through specific points on the track. It detects the change in the magnetic field when the wheel passes by through electromagnetic induction: when the wheel passes over the sensor, it outputs a positive pulse (24V) and returns to 0V voltage when it moves away, thus detecting the status of the train wheel passing through. The signal is transmitted to the monitoring system through a communication connection.

[0030] In summary, this axle counting device achieves double anti-drop by using the "insert-rotate double-lock" mechanism of the quick-release component 5, specifically by limiting the rotation of the insert 53 in the slot and locking the elastic buckle 52 vertically. Combined with the inverted T-shaped buffer pad 7 to absorb track vibration, it significantly improves the vibration resistance and pull-out resistance of the joint. The multi-color status lights provide real-time feedback on the working status, and the anti-misinsertion design ensures signal transmission stability while greatly improving maintenance efficiency.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
