Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In this application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
The embodiment of the invention provides a broken rail inspection method, and referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of the broken rail inspection method, and the broken rail inspection method at least comprises the following steps:
s101: and acquiring current signals of the upper steel rail and the lower steel rail, and calculating the current unbalance degree of the upper steel rail and the lower steel rail.
In step S101, the obtaining of the current signals of the upper and lower steel rails means obtaining current signals of the two steel rails at the same horizontal position of the rail bottoms of the two steel rails, because the current of the two steel rails at the same horizontal position is the same in the normal operating state of the two steel rails, the current signals of the two steel rails need to be obtained at the same horizontal position of the rail bottoms of the two steel rails, and then the current imbalance of the upper and lower steel rails is calculated.
The current unbalance degree is a value of the current vector difference of the two steel rails compared with the current vector sum of the two steel rails.
S102: judging whether the current unbalance is greater than a preset value or not; if yes, go to step S103.
S103: and judging the rail is broken.
In step S102, since the current values of the two rails are the same, and the current imbalance is a sum of the current vectors of the two rails compared to the current vector difference of the two rails, and when one of the two rails is broken, the current imbalance changes, it can be determined whether the two rails are broken by determining whether the current imbalance is greater than a preset value, and when the current imbalance is greater than the preset value, it is determined that the two rails are broken.
The broken rail is a rail of a current path necessary for a track circuit, and is broken by mechanical damage, stress accumulation, or the like, and is completely electrically disconnected.
The embodiment of the invention obtains current signals of an upper steel rail and a lower steel rail and calculates the current unbalance degree of the two steel rails; then judging whether the current unbalance is greater than a preset value; if yes, the rail is determined to be broken. According to the rail breakage detection method disclosed by the invention, because the current of the upper and lower steel rails is consistent, and the current of the two steel rails is different after rail breakage occurs, whether rail breakage occurs on the steel rail is judged in a quantitative mode by citing the current unbalance degree, so that the purpose of accurately judging whether rail breakage occurs on the steel rail in a station and in an interval is achieved.
It should be noted that, in order to ensure the accuracy of the rail break state judgment, it is necessary to determine to collect the frequency shift signal current I of two rails by judging whether the traction current exists on the rail1、I2Or collecting signal current I of two steel rails1、I2If no traction current is present on the rail, step S201 is executed, and if a traction current is present on the rail, step S401 is executed.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, in the process of executing step S1, the obtaining of the current signals of the upper and lower rails and the calculating of the current imbalance of the two rails includes the following steps:
s201: obtaining the frequency shift signal current I of the upper and lower steel rails1、I2
S202: based on the I1And said I2And calculating the value of the current unbalance degree beta.
It should be noted that the value of the current imbalance β is the frequency shift signal current I1And a frequency-shifted signal current I2Is compared with the up-shift signal current I2And a frequency-shifted signal current I1The expression of the vector sum of (a) is formula (1).
Figure BDA0003031121080000061
It should be noted that, when the two rails are in the normal adjustment operating state, the topology of the whole rail current system is symmetrical with respect to the ground, as shown in fig. 3, in this state, the two rails as the signal conduction paths are in the symmetrical balanced state, that is, at the same position, the frequency-shifted signal currents in the upper and lower rails are in equal and opposite directions, and in this state, no signal current enters the ground through the track bed resistor.
Referring to fig. 4, when a certain rail is in a broken rail state, since the current path is cut off in one rail at the broken rail point and the other rail still normally carries current, the states of the two rails are no longer symmetrical, i.e. the currents of the upper and lower rails are not in equal and opposite directions, and an earth signal current I is generated at the earth point of the track circuit, i.e. the earth point of the earthing device, as shown in fig. 5N
At the point of rail break, because the current flowing in the rail where the rail break occurs is zero, and the current still flows in the other rail, the current of the upper and lower rails is not in equal magnitude and reverse direction, i.e. I1=0,I2Not equal to 0, the degree of unbalance β is 100%; in other positions of the rail break, β is a number between 0 and 100%.
Notably, on a broken rail, the ground signal current I generated at the ground point of the track circuitNFrequency shifted signals for two railsCurrent I1And a frequency-shifted signal current I2Wherein the expression is formula (2).
IN=I1-I2 (2)
Thus, the current imbalance β can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003031121080000062
specifically, as shown in fig. 6, in the process of executing step S1, the obtaining of the current signals of the upper and lower rails and the calculating of the current imbalance of the two rails specifically includes the following steps:
s601: obtaining power frequency traction current I of upper and lower steel rails1、I2
S602: based on the I1And said I2Calculating the degree of current imbalance

It should be noted that the current imbalance degree
Figure BDA0003031121080000072
The value of (A) is the traction current I1And a traction current I2Vector difference of (3) is compared with the pull-up current I2And a traction current I1The vector sum of (a) is expressed by formula (3).
Figure BDA0003031121080000073
It should be noted that, when the track circuit is in the normal shunt operation state, the power frequency traction current exists in the two rails as the signal transmission paths, as shown in fig. 7, in this state, the two rails are in a symmetrical balance state with respect to the traction current, that is, at the same position, the traction currents in the upper and lower rails are in the same direction.
Referring to fig. 8, when a certain rail is in a broken state, a current flows in one rail due to a broken rail pointThe path is cut off, and the other rail still normally flows current, so that the states of the two rails are not symmetrical, i.e. the traction currents of the upper and lower rails are not equal and same, and an earth signal current I is generated at the earth point of the track circuit, i.e. the earth point of the earthing device, as shown in FIG. 9N
At the point of rail break, the current flowing in the broken rail is zero, while the current still flows in the other rail, so that the currents of the upper and lower rails are not equal in direction, i.e. I1=0,I2Not equal to 0, degree of unbalance

At other positions of the broken rail,
Figure BDA0003031121080000075
between 0 and 100%.
Notably, on a broken rail, the ground-in traction current I generated at the ground point of the track circuitNFrequency-shifted signal current I for two rails1And a frequency-shifted signal current I2Wherein the expression is formula (4).
IN=I1+I2 (4)
Further, referring to fig. 10, before performing step S101, that is, before acquiring current signals of the upper and lower rails, the method further includes the following steps:
s100: and detecting whether traction current exists in the upper steel rail and the lower steel rail.
It should be noted that, in order to improve the accuracy of determining rail breakage, it is necessary to detect whether a rail has a traction current, and when it is detected that a rail has a traction current, step S1001 needs to be executed when step S101 is executed; when it is detected that there is no traction current in the rail, step S1002 needs to be executed when step S101 is executed.
Step S1001: obtaining power frequency traction current I of an upper steel rail and a lower steel rail1、I2
Step S1002: obtaining the frequency shift signal current I of the upper and the lower steel rails1、I2
Further, referring to fig. 11, in the process of executing step S100 of fig. 10, that is, detecting whether a traction current exists in the steel rail, the method specifically includes the following steps:
s1101: detecting whether the effective rail surface current value of the steel rail is smaller than 20A, and if the effective rail surface current value is smaller than 20A, executing a step S1102; if the effective value of the rail surface current is not less than 20A, executing step S1103.
S1102: considering said rail to be free of traction current;
s1103: the rail is considered to have a traction current.
The method includes that traction current is provided for a contact net by a traction substation through a power supply device and is used as power for train traction after being converted, whether traction current exists in a steel rail can be judged by detecting whether a rail surface current effective value is smaller than 20A, and if the rail surface current effective value is smaller than 20A, the steel rail can be considered to have no traction current; if the effective value of the rail surface current is not less than 20A, the rail is considered to have traction current.
It should be further noted that the 20A is a value set by a technician according to a working condition, and the technician in the art can make a change according to an actual requirement, and is not limited to the 20A.
Specifically, the preset value is 50%.
It should be noted that the preset value is a value set by a technician according to a working condition, and the technician in the art can change the preset value according to actual needs, and the preset value is not limited to 50%.
Further, referring to fig. 12, after the step 102 of fig. 1 is completed, that is, after the determining whether the current imbalance is greater than the preset value, if the current imbalance is not greater than the preset value, the method further includes the following steps:
s104: and judging that the steel rail is in a normal adjustment working state.
It should be noted that, when it is determined that the current imbalance is not greater than the preset value, it can be considered that the current magnitudes at the same horizontal position of the upper and lower rails are the same, and therefore, it can be determined that the rails are in a normal adjustment state.
The adjustment working state refers to the state that the track section is idle, the equipment is complete, and the track receiving relay is reliably sucked up.
Preferably, the present invention further provides another broken rail inspection method, referring to fig. 13, the broken rail inspection method including the steps of:
s1301: and acquiring current signals of an upper steel rail and a lower steel rail and the grounding current of grounding equipment.
The grounding current in step S1301 is a current value obtained by detecting a grounding device by a detection device.
S1302: and calculating the current unbalance degree of the two steel rails based on the current signals of the upper and lower steel rails and the grounding current.
It should be noted that the execution manner and the specific process of step S1302 are the same as the manner of calculating the current imbalance of the two rails in step S101, and are not described herein again.
S1303: judging whether the current unbalance is greater than a preset value or not; if yes, go to S1304; if not, go to step S1305.
It should be noted that the execution manner and the specific process of step S1303 are the same as those of step S102, and are not described here again.
S1304: and judging the rail is broken.
S1305: it is determined as a normal adjustment state.

The embodiment of the invention obtains current signals of an upper steel rail and a lower steel rail and calculates the current unbalance degree of the two steel rails; then judging whether the current unbalance is greater than a preset value; if yes, the rail is determined to be broken. According to the rail breakage detection method disclosed by the invention, because the current of the upper and lower steel rails is consistent, and the current of the two steel rails is different after rail breakage occurs, whether rail breakage occurs on the steel rail is judged in a quantitative mode by citing the current unbalance degree, so that the purpose of accurately judging whether rail breakage occurs on the steel rail in a station and in an interval is achieved.
To facilitate understanding of the above, the present application is further described below with reference to fig. 1 to 15.
The invention provides a broken rail detection method, which is a comprehensive judgment method for imbalance of frequency shift signals and traction currents.
Judging imbalance of signal currents on two sides of a steel rail:
when the track circuit is in a normal adjustment working state, the topology of the whole track circuit system is symmetrical to the ground, as shown in fig. 3. In this state, the two rails as signal transmission paths are in a symmetrical balance state, that is, at the same position, the frequency-shifted signal currents in the upper and lower rails are in equal and opposite directions, and in this state, no signal current enters the ground through the track bed resistor.
When the track circuit is in a broken rail state, because the current path is cut off in one rail at the broken rail point, and the other rail still normally carries current, the states of the two rails are not symmetrical any more, as shown in fig. 4, the characteristic of generating unbalance is represented as:
(1) the current of the upper and lower steel rails is not equal and reverse.
This feature is most pronounced at the point of rail break, since zero current flows in the rail where the rail break occurs, while current still flows in the other rail, and an imbalance is introduced to measure the degree of imbalance between the two currents, which is defined as follows:
Figure BDA0003031121080000121
before rail break, the currents in the upper and lower rails are in equal and opposite directions, I2=I1,β=0;
At the point of rail break, I1=0,I2Not equal to 0, the degree of unbalance β is 100%; in other positions, β is a number between 0 and 100%.
(2) At the grounding point of the track circuit, an earth current is generated.
In a grounding point, the imbalance of the steel rail is also reflected in the ground current of the grounding point. Under the balanced state, the current of the upper rail and the lower rail is symmetrical, and the grounding point grounding current is 0 according to kirchhoff's current law.
After rail break, the rail is in unbalanced state, and the current of upper and lower rails is no longer symmetrical, thus resulting in ground current in the grounding point, INIt is the difference between the upper and lower unbalanced current vectors on both sides, as shown in fig. 5.
At this time, the expression of the degree of unbalance of the grounding point position of the rail surface of the receiving end is as follows:
Figure BDA0003031121080000122
(3) and (3) judging the rail:
if the above 3 signal currents of the receiving end rail surface satisfy the following relationship, rail breakage can be judged.
Figure BDA0003031121080000123
Traction current imbalance determination method:
when the track circuit is in a normal shunt operating state, the two rails serving as signal conduction paths have power frequency traction currents, as shown in fig. 7, in this state, the two rails are in a symmetrical balance state to the traction currents, that is, at the same position, the traction currents in the upper and lower rails are in the same direction.
When the rail is in the broken state, the current path is cut off in one rail at the broken point, and the other rail still normally carries current, so that the states of the two rails are not symmetrical any more, as shown in fig. 8, and the characteristic of generating unbalance is represented as follows:
(1) the traction currents of the upper and lower steel rails are not equal in direction.
At the rail break point, the current flowing in the rail of the broken rail is zero, while the current still flows in the other rail, and similarly to the case of 6.1, an unbalance degree is introduced to measure the unbalance degree of the traction current in the two rails, which is defined as follows:
Figure BDA0003031121080000131
before rail break, the currents of the upper and lower rails are in the same direction, I2=I1
Figure BDA0003031121080000132
At the point of rail break, I1=0,I2Not equal to 0, degree of unbalance
Figure BDA0003031121080000133
In other positions, is a number between 0 and 100%.
(2) At the grounding point of the track circuit, an earth current is generated.
At the grounding point, the imbalance of the steel rail is also reflected in the ground current of the grounding point, as shown in fig. 9. If the external steel rail is broken, and the current of the grounding central point is as follows: i isN=I2+I1≠0
After rail break, the rail is in unbalanced state, and the current of upper and lower rails is no longer symmetrical, thus leading to wire current I1≠I2Earth current INJust is the sum of the unbalanced current vectors on the upper side and the lower side of the two sides, at the moment, the unbalanced degree expression of the grounding point position of the receiving end rail surface is as follows:
Figure BDA0003031121080000134
(3) and (3) judging the rail:
if the 3 traction currents of the grounding point of the receiving end rail surface satisfy the following relation, the rail breakage can be judged.
Figure BDA0003031121080000135
The scheme of the invention is realized as follows: signal and traction current imbalance comprehensive judgment method.
According to the first scheme: the lead wire signal current imbalance judgment method can judge broken rails, but the precision in acquisition is influenced by the traction current and harmonic waves, so that the judgment accuracy is greatly influenced;
according to the scheme II: the lead wire traction current imbalance judgment method can judge rail breakage, but when the traction current is small or no traction current exists, the method is invalid;
in order to improve the precision of judging rail break, therefore, the first scheme and the second scheme are integrated, a method of comprehensively judging imbalance of signal current and traction current is provided, and the realized principle is explained as follows:
(1) when the effective value of the rail surface current is less than 20A, the rail is considered to have no traction current, the first scheme is adopted to judge rail break, the frequency shift signal current is demodulated from a frequency domain, and when the unbalance degree beta of the signal current is more than 50%, the rail break is judged;
(2) when the effective value of the rail surface current is more than 20A, the traction current exists on the steel rail, the second scheme is adopted to judge the rail break, the 50Hz power frequency current is demodulated from the frequency domain, and when the power frequency current is not balanced, the unbalance degree is reached
Figure BDA0003031121080000141
If the value is more than 50%, the rail is judged to be broken.
The flow chart of the rail break logic process is shown in fig. 15:
the invention has the advantages that:
the novel track circuit broken rail inspection is used for inspecting broken rails through a current detection method, meanwhile, the limitation on interval intervals and station inner blocking is not required for guaranteeing the broken rail inspection of the track circuit, and the adaptability of the track circuit to the external environment is improved.
The key points of the invention are as follows:
on the premise of detecting rail break without an external excitation source, a novel rail break detection technology-a signal and traction current imbalance comprehensive judgment method is provided based on a rail circuit system: in order to ensure the accuracy of judging the rail breaking state, when the sensor detects that the steel rail has traction current, the unbalance degree of the traction current is adopted to judge the rail breaking. And if no traction current is detected, judging the unbalance degree by adopting the frequency shift signal current of the steel rail.
