11 results about "Rail inspection" patented technology

Rail inspection is the practice of examining rail tracks for flaws that could lead to catastrophic failures. According to the United States Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis, track defects are the second leading cause of accidents on railways in the United States. The leading cause of railway accidents is attributed to human error. The contribution of poor management decisions to rail accidents caused by infrequent or inadequate rail inspection is significant but not reported by the FRA, only the NTSB. Every year, North American railroads spend millions of dollars to inspect the rails for internal and external flaws. Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods are used as a preventative measures against track failures and possible derailment.

A rail coating thickness measuring instrument

ActiveCN224435369UPrevent lateral deflectionReduced stabilityRail inspectionHand tremor
This utility model discloses a rail coating thickness measuring instrument, relating to the field of rail inspection technology. The instrument includes a mounting plate, a testing mechanism, and a positioning mechanism, with a rail body positioned below the mounting plate. The instrument moves along the rail body via casters on the mounting plate, eliminating the need for manual operation. This significantly reduces the physical strain and difficulty of prolonged hand-held operation and avoids positional shifts and data fluctuations caused by hand tremors, ensuring the stability and accuracy of coating thickness measurement data. It is particularly suitable for continuous testing of long-distance rails, minimizing interruptions. Simultaneously, guide wheels embedded in grooves on both sides of the rail body provide precise positioning for the thickness measuring instrument as it moves the mounting plate, preventing lateral shift during testing.

A switch intelligent inspection device

ActiveCN224447761URail inspectionStructural engineering
This utility model provides an intelligent turnout inspection device, belonging to the field of turnout inspection technology. This intelligent turnout inspection device includes sleepers and rails. An inspection vehicle is mounted above the rails. An equipment slot is formed on one side of the inspection vehicle, and a high / low insertion inspection mechanism is installed inside the equipment slot. A rail inspection mechanism is installed on one side of the high / low insertion inspection mechanism. When an unevenness occurs at the connection point of two rails, the contact frame moves upward, causing the first and second socket brackets to rotate on the outer surface of the fixed shaft towards the housing. This, in turn, causes the movable plate and the clamping plate to move towards the interior of the housing, so that the bottom surface of the clamping plate contacts the contact sensor. The contact sensor transmits a signal to the server to form a mark. By using the speed of the inspection vehicle, the approximate area can be calculated, allowing maintenance personnel to be dispatched for repairs, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection.

Methods, equipment and media for synchronous synthesis and adaptive display of audio and video in rail flaw detection

PendingCN122093590ASolve the problem of time synchronization deviationimprove accuracySelective content distributionRail inspectionEngineering
This invention belongs to the field of rail inspection and maintenance technology, and discloses a method, equipment, and medium for synchronized audio-visual synthesis and adaptive display of rail flaw detection. The method includes: parsing audio and video files to determine a global time reference; performing time synchronization processing on various types of files; determining the size of the composite canvas, video position, and text label position based on layout configuration rules; superimposing the time-synchronized video data onto the background canvas according to the determined layout position to generate a composite video; and merging the composite video with the time-synchronized unified audio data to generate a merged flaw detection video. This invention, by establishing a globally unified time reference, calculating the time difference and implementing synchronization schemes for audio and video separately, and combining standardized preprocessing with adaptive image synthesis, solves the time synchronization deviation problem existing in the merging of audio and video for rail flaw detection in the prior art, significantly improving the accuracy of rail flaw detection judgment.
