Solution Overview

Problem

The inefficiency of manually recording and processing large amounts of commissioning test data for rail transit vehicles leads to low commissioning efficiency, particularly during heavy tasks.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that automatically process rail transit vehicle static test data by determining target operation steps based on an execution sequence in a commissioning template, sending task information to a terminal device, receiving and parsing data streams, and judging test data correctness against predetermined criteria, with results being filled into the template.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual recording and processing of commissioning test data is used, then the commissioning process can be completed with simple equipment, but the commissioning efficiency is low and the workload is heavy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommissioning efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical recording system with an automated computer-based system. The commissioning terminal device automatically collects test data, processes it according to preset rules, and generates commissioning reports, substituting the manual writing and processing workflow with automated electronic operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The commissioning terminal device performs self-service by automatically collecting test data from the rail transit vehicle, judging the correctness of the data according to preset rules, and generating commissioning reports without requiring manual intervention for each step, thereby improving efficiency while keeping the system relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated data processing is implemented, then commissioning efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional hardware and software requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommissioning efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The commissioning terminal device is designed with multi-functionality, serving as both the data collection interface and the data processing center. It can collect test data, judge data correctness, generate reports, and manage commissioning templates, consolidating multiple functions into a single device to avoid the need for complex distributed systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The commissioning terminal device acts as an intermediary between the rail transit vehicle and the commissioning personnel. It automatically interfaces with the vehicle's systems to collect data, processes the data according to preset rules, and presents the results to commissioners, simplifying the interaction while maintaining automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of time

If manual filling of commissioning forms is performed, then the system structure remains simple, but the commissioning process is time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommissioning timeVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-setting commissioning templates with all necessary forms, fields, and judgment rules before the commissioning process begins. During commissioning, the terminal device automatically fills in the forms with collected test data and applies the preset judgment rules, eliminating the need for manual form filling and significantly reducing commissioning time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses electronic copying of commissioning templates and forms. Instead of physical paper forms that require manual filling, the system creates digital copies of the commissioning templates, automatically populates them with test data, and generates electronic commissioning reports, which can be easily stored, transmitted, and archived.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A method and device for automatically processing static test data of a rail transit vehicle are provided. A target operation step is determined in accordance with a commissioning template. Information about a commissioning task step is sent to a terminal device, for prompting that the target operation step needs to be executed. After the information about a commissioning result corresponding to the target operation step is received, it is judged whether test data in the information is correct. If it is judged that the test data is correct, the information is sent to the terminal device, the judgement result is filled into the commissioning template, and a step of determining the target operation step is executed. If it is judged that the test data is incorrect, the information is sent to the terminal device, and the judgement result is filled into the commissioning template.
