Description

Pole line wear measurement device based on Flame Image Process
Technical field
Relate generally to of the present invention is based on the measurement of Flame Image Process to the wearing and tearing of pole line (trolley wire), and relates more specifically to the measurement to the width of the wearing part of pole line.
Background technology
When vehicle passes through, be used for providing the pole line of electric power to contact with current-collector to electric rolling stock.As a result, when repeating the operation of electric rolling stock, pole line is is progressively worn and torn.Unless change the pole line that worn and torn with new pole line, otherwise pole line may rupture finally and cause accident.Traditionally, provide the wear limit of pole line, and changed pole line, to protect the safety of electric rolling stock according to this wear limit.
The method of measurement bay ceases to be busy wearing and tearing is divided into two group of methods roughly.One group of methods is the thickness of direct measurement bay ceases to be busy, and another group of methods is the width (being hereinafter referred to as pole line wearing part width) of the wearing part of measurement bay ceases to be busy, and pole line wearing part width is converted to the thickness of pole line.
Directly a method of measurement bay ceases to be busy thickness is to use the ruler such as vernier caliper to come measurement bay ceases to be busy thickness.
Directly another method of measurement bay ceases to be busy thickness is to use optical sensor.Particularly, measuring equipment accompany in the middle of comprising pole line up-down roller (roller), be attached to described up-down roller and be used for the laser beam transmitter of emission of lasering beam, the laser beam receiving equipment that is used to receive laser beam and measures the quantity of the laser beam that receives.The quantity of the laser beam that part received in the middle of being sandwiched in is converted into the thickness of pole line.By the method, can be automatically and the thickness of measurement bay ceases to be busy constantly.
A method of measurement bay ceases to be busy wearing part thickness is with sodium vapor lamp or laser beam irradiation pole line.The method is based on the following fact, and the cross section of the pole line that promptly weares and teares is the form with the circumference at the straight end (straight bottom), and the width of wearing part increases when pole line is worn gradually.This pole line wearing part width is converted into the thickness of pole line.The method of measurement bay ceases to be busy wearing part width is accurately to regulate the position of the line sensor of receiving-member (linesensor), to come to receive the reflection of light light of irradiation pole line wearing part by direct reflection from light source (such as sodium vapor lamp or laser beam), with by means of receiving high light and the pole line wearing part become so-called snow boundless and indistinct (whiteout) state by direct reflection, and according to the width of the boundless and indistinct part of snow that receives high light and the width of measurement bay ceases to be busy wearing part.Because the method is the noncontact type, is possible so measure at a high speed.

In the method for using the direct measurement bay ceases to be busy thickness of optical sensor,, measure so need carry out with low speed because measuring equipment contacts with pole line.In addition, because measuring equipment is clipped in the middle pole line, so when measuring equipment is hindered by existing structure (such as point, air section and anchor), can't use this measuring equipment.Therefore,, measuring equipment temporarily need be placed on place, so that prevent the collision between measuring equipment and the existing structure away from the measuring position in the place that has existing structure.
By coming with sodium vapor lamp or laser beam irradiation pole line in the method for measurement bay ceases to be busy wearing part width, it is necessary using specific illumination equipment such as sodium vapor lamp to be used for light source, and considers that specific illumination equipment also is necessary to the influence of human body.In addition, the method is easy to be influenced by noise, for example, described noise accompany the clip of pole line by the centre or the existing structure that comes across in the sensed image background caused.When under noise effect, obtaining erroneous measurements, can not write down the image of this moment, and therefore be not used in the method for checking this situation.Therefore, the part that causes erroneous measurements need be checked by the method for using direct measurement bay ceases to be busy thickness.The reflection of light light that receives the wearing part of irradiation pole line by direct reflection may be necessary, and therefore accurately positioned light source and printing opacity equipment are necessary.
