The invention provides a wheel set parameter detection system of a railway vehicle, and the structure is shown in FIG. 1. The system comprises a trackside detection unit, a control unit, trackside communication equipment and a remote terminal, and is used for detecting wheel set data of a railway vehicle, including but not limited to: wheel set size, tread size, wheel set inside distance, wheel diameter, out-of-roundness, etc. The track bypass communication equipment acquires detection data of the track bypass detection unit and transmits the detection data to the remote terminal, the control unit is used for controlling the track bypass detection unit to work, and the control unit can be arranged at the remote terminal.
The track side detection unit is a core functional structure for executing a detection function and comprises a three-dimensional area array unit, a line scanning unit, a positioning unit and the like, wherein the positioning unit can be divided into an area array positioning unit and a line scanning positioning unit.
Three-dimensional area array unit: the three-dimensional area array unit comprises a plurality of area array modules, each area array module comprises a laser and an area array camera, and when a vehicle passes through the area array modules, the laser and the area array cameras are not contacted with wheels.
Furthermore, in order to timely start the work of the three-dimensional area array unit, the system further comprises an area array positioning unit, wherein the area array positioning unit is arranged close to the three-dimensional area array unit and comprises an area array positioning device, and when the area array positioning device is detected to generate an induction signal, the area array module is controlled to start the work.
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of the start-up of the area array positioning unit is shown. Each area array positioning unit comprises: wheel sensor and signal processing device. The wheel sensor comprises two signal output lines, and when the wheel passes through the wheel sensor, the signal output lines output sine signal waves; the signal processing device is connected with the signal output line and transmits signals to the control unit.
Specifically, when the wheel is pressed against the vehicle receiving sensor, a sine-wave-like signal is generated between the two lines, the faster the vehicle passes, the higher the peak value of the signal is, and conversely, the lower the peak value is, when no wheel passes, the vehicle receiving sensor can generate some interference signals, but the amplitude of the interference signals is generally low, or the amplitude of the interference signals is high but the period is short, so that the possibility of filtering interference is provided for people. The magnetic steel plate in the control unit is used for transmitting signals when the actual wheels are pressed to the control machine after the signals of the sensors of the docking car are processed.
The control unit is configured with wheel sensor parameter adjustment software, and the working principle is as follows:
the software provides 3 parameters for modification, namely "amplitude", "pulse width 1", "pulse width 2", respectively. The three parts are restricted together, so that the effects of filtering interference and preventing shaft loss are achieved. The principle of filtering is: the filtering amplitude is lower, and the peak is filtered. Therefore, when we adjust the parameters, the three parameters are properly adjusted according to the actual situation.
In this embodiment, each group of three-dimensional area array units includes two area array modules, and the image acquisition directions of the two area array modules are opposite; the number of the area array positioning sensors is one, and the area array positioning sensors are arranged between two area array sensors at one side. Referring to fig. 2a and 2b, each of the area array modules is installed in a gap between two sleepers, two area array modules in each group of three-dimensional area array units are arranged at intervals of two sleepers, and an area array positioning unit is arranged between two area array modules of one-sided three-dimensional area array unit.
Line sweep unit: the vehicle is arranged on the front side of the three-dimensional area array unit along the traveling direction of the vehicle, and the direction from left to right is the traveling direction of the vehicle in the direction shown in fig. 2a, and the front side refers to the direction relatively located in the forward traveling direction of the vehicle. The line scanning unit comprises two groups, which are symmetrically arranged at the outer sides of the tracks at two sides and are used for collecting wheel point cloud data; each group of line scanning units comprises a plurality of three-dimensional line scanning modules, the three-dimensional line scanning modules in each group are arranged at equal intervals, and the interval between the first three-dimensional line scanning module and the last three-dimensional line scanning module in each group is not smaller than the outer circumference of a single wheel, so that the line scanning units can obtain full-coverage three-dimensional imaging of the wheel set tread; when the vehicle runs through, the three-dimensional line scanning module is not contacted with the wheels.

The working principle of the linear scanning positioning device is the same as that of the area array positioning device, and the working principle is not repeated here.
In this embodiment, each group of line scanning units includes 5 three-dimensional line scanning modules, and correspondingly includes 5 line scanning positioning devices. The distance between adjacent line scanning positioning devices is equal to the distance between three-dimensional line scanning modules; the first line scanning positioning device close to the driving direction of the vehicle is closer to the driving vehicle than the first three-dimensional line scanning module. When the first line scanning positioning device detects a vehicle signal, the control unit starts the first three-dimensional line scanning module to start working; as the vehicle moves forward, each linear sweep positioning module detects the vehicle signal one by one, and each three-dimensional linear sweep module is started one by one. Because the image acquisition range of each three-dimensional line scanning module is limited, a single three-dimensional line scanning module cannot acquire complete wheel image data. When the vehicle runs out of the three-dimensional line scanning module image acquisition area, the line scanning unit can acquire complete wheel data.
Referring to fig. 4a and 4b, a schematic structure of a single three-dimensional line scanning module is shown.

The control calculation function of the control unit is described in detail below.
The process of three-dimensional data reconstruction is as follows.
In the three-dimensional reconstruction process, a point p in a world coordinate system is required to be calculated w Into the pixel coordinate system.
First, point p in the world coordinate system is to be found w =(x w ,y w ,z w ) T Using homogeneous transformation matrices c H w Conversion into camera coordinate system using p c =(x c ,y c ,z c ) T The representation is:
p c = c H w ·p w (4-1)
