Fig. 8 is a flowchart of calibration of the piezoelectric sensor in the present embodiment.
In order to improve measurement accuracy and ensure that each piezoelectric sensor 13 can record a high-quality signal, before measurement is performed, the piezoelectric sensor 13 needs to be calibrated for a target load range, and as shown in fig. 8, a flow for calibrating the piezoelectric sensor 13 specifically includes the following steps:
in step S1, the piezoelectric sensor 13 is attached to the surface of the resin pad, and its cable is connected to the data recorder.
In this embodiment, the resin pad is square, the length and width of which are 100mm, and the thickness of which is 7mm, and the upper surface of the quartz plate of the piezoelectric sensor 13 is attached to the lower surface of the resin pad. Arduino was used as a microcontroller and a data logger was used in electrical connection with it, to which the cable of piezoelectric sensor 13 was connected. The data logger is able to directly measure the voltage of the piezoelectric crystal due to vibration of the surface on which the material (i.e., the resin pad) is placed.
In step S2, a series of test loads are applied to the resin pad above the piezoelectric sensor 13 by the rectangular actuator, and corresponding piezoelectric signals measured by the piezoelectric sensor 13 are recorded by the data logger.
To avoid damaging the quartz plate, the test load is not applied directly to the piezoelectric sensor 13, but to the resin pad, by a rectangular actuator on the resin pad 1cm from the quartz plate surface of the piezoelectric sensor 13. In this embodiment, the rectangular actuator has an end section for applying a load of 60mm in length and 40mm in width.
The series of test loads applied have different frequencies and different stress levels.
Step S3, the pressure value of the piezoelectric signal measured by the piezoelectric sensor 13 is calibrated with reference to the parameter of the applied test load.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the calibration result of the piezoelectric sensor according to the present embodiment, wherein FIG. 9 (a) is a plot of voltage value versus stress of the piezoelectric sensor after calibration; fig. 9 (b) is a waveform diagram of signals measured by the piezoelectric sensor after calibration.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 9 (a), the test load has a frequency of 0 to 10Hz and a stress level of 0 to 5000kPa, and the calibration is performed by using such a test load, and the calibration result shows that the signal measured by the piezoelectric sensor 13 has a linear correlation with the stress level. As shown in fig. 9 (b), after calibration, the signal measured by the piezoelectric sensor 13 under a load of 5kN, 5Hz shows a good correlation with the applied test load, indicating that the accuracy of the measured load is high.
After calibration is completed, the piezoelectric sensor 13 can be installed into the track load monitoring pad device 10 for actual track monitoring.
Example operation and Effect
According to the track load monitoring pad device 10 and the track load monitoring system 100 provided in the present embodiment, the track load monitoring pad device 10 is installed under the track bed board 30, and includes a plurality of piezoelectric sensors 13, so that the load of the track can be monitored by the piezoelectric sensors 13 directly integrated in the track structure. The piezoelectric sensor 13 has the advantages of high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio, reliable operation, simple structure and the like, can detect and obtain high-quality signals, and the strength of the piezoelectric signals detected by the piezoelectric sensor is in linear relation rather than exponential relation with the stress level born by the steel rail, so that the signals detected by the track load monitoring backing plate device can still effectively identify the load change even under the condition of high load, and the track load monitoring backing plate device has wide application range and can be suitable for various track conditions. Further, since the sensor fixing plate 12 is installed between the upper cover plate 11 and the base plate 16, the piezoelectric sensor 13 and the load transfer column 15 are installed in the sensor installation groove 122 of the sensor fixing plate 12, the piezoelectric sensor 13 is fixed and limited in such a manner, and displacement, falling and other conditions of the piezoelectric sensor 13 caused by rail vibration during train operation can be avoided, so that monitoring effect during train operation is ensured.
According to the calibration method of the track load monitoring pad device 10 of the present embodiment, the piezoelectric sensor 13 is attached to the surface of the resin pad, and a series of test loads are applied by the rectangular actuators to calibrate the piezoelectric sensor 13. By doing so, the piezoelectric sensor 13 can detect a signal of better quality and better accuracy in the target load range, and damage to its piezoelectric crystal can be avoided.
In the embodiment, the piezoelectric sensor 13 is a single crystal sensor adopting an annular quartz plate, and the quartz crystal has good thickness deformation piezoelectric effect, high measurement precision and good sensitivity; and the dielectric constant and the temperature stability of the piezoelectric constant are good, so that the working temperature range of the piezoelectric sensor 13 is wide, and the piezoelectric sensor is well applicable to various track scenes.
In the embodiment, the cushion layer at the bottom of the upper cover plate 11 is a middle-rigidity rubber cushion plate, and the high-rigidity cushion plate has higher wave propagation capability, so that the piezoelectric sensor 13 can monitor and obtain larger signal amplitude in cooperation, thereby being beneficial to monitoring load change and subsequent calculation and analysis.
In an embodiment, the rail load monitoring pad apparatus 10 may be integrated into a rail for long term use without removal after one test.
Test example 1
In this test example, calibration tests were performed on three sensors to evaluate their likelihood of monitoring track performance.
While most sensors have typically been calibrated to some degree by the manufacturer, to ensure that each sensor is able to record a high quality signal, in this test case, three sensors are recalibrated for the target load range.
The three sensors are an acceleration sensor (accelerometer), a pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor. The accelerometer is used for measuring vibration change of the target; the pressure sensor is used for measuring the change of the stress level on the target; piezoelectric sensors are used to measure changes in wave transmission into a target, thereby detecting changes in the performance of the target. The parameters of the piezoelectric sensor are as described above and are not repeated; the parameters of the other two sensors are shown in tables 1 and 2:

For the accelerometers, each accelerometer was fixed on an actuator of a laboratory hydraulic machine and 1000 vibration wave sequences were applied at each test load, the acceleration signals measured at the different vibration waves were recorded, and the measured signals were compared with the displacement produced by the actuator of the hydraulic machine. In this test example, the test load has different frequencies and amplitudes, the frequencies are 0-10 Hz, and the amplitudes are 0-3 mm. The measured acceleration amplitude (displacement) is compared with the displacement of the actuator at 5Hz, at 1.5mm etc.
FIG. 10 is a graph showing the calibration results of the acceleration sensor in the present test example, wherein FIG. 10 (a) is a plot of the amplitude of the acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor after calibration versus the amplitude; fig. 10 (b) is an exemplary graph of acceleration signals measured by two acceleration sensors after calibration.
As shown in fig. 10, ACC1 exhibits a good correlation between acceleration and displacement waves, enabling discrimination between different pulses.
For a pressure sensor, it is attached to a 150mm by 150mm thick 50mm metal backing plate and a series of test loads are applied to the pressure sensor, the test loads having different frequencies and stress levels, the frequencies being 0 to 10Hz and the stress levels being 0 to 5000kPa. Since the signal of the pressure sensor depends on the resistance used in the microcontroller (i.e. the resistance in the measurement circuit), the resistance used is changed and the calibration test described above is repeated.
FIG. 11 is a graph of calibration results for two pressure sensors of this test example having different resistance values.
As shown in fig. 11, in the present embodiment, the resistance value was changed in kΩ units and a calibration test was performed, and the decrease in the resistance value resulted in a decrease in the amplitude value of the voltage measured by the two pressure sensors, and a logarithmic correlation was exhibited between the measured voltage and the applied stress level. For the same resistance value (1 kΩ for example), PR2 measures a higher voltage value, which indicates that the ability of PR2 to measure high level stress is relatively lower, limiting its applicability.
Fig. 12 is a graph of the calibration results of the two pressure sensors in this test example, in which fig. 12 (a) is a plot of the voltage values and stress levels of the two pressure sensors after calibration, and fig. 12 (b) is a graph of the signal waveforms measured by the two pressure sensors after calibration.
As shown in fig. 12 (a), the voltage value measured by the pressure sensor has a logarithmic correlation with the stress. At the same stress level, the voltage measured by PR2 is higher than PR1, the signal measured by PR1 is independent of the frequency of the test load, and as the test load frequency increases, the voltage measured by PR2 increases slightly. As shown in fig. 12 (b), at a test load of 5Hz and 5kN, the signal waveform measured by the pressure sensor is clear, and relatively speaking, the signal measured by PR1 is more accurate, and the frequency deviation from the test load is small.
For piezoelectric sensors, the above-described flow steps are used for calibration.
It can also be seen from fig. 9 (a) that the signal measured by the piezoelectric sensor shows a linear dependence on the stress level, so that load changes at high load levels can be distinguished more clearly. Similar to PR1, the dependence of the piezoelectric crystal on the pulse frequency is also small, so that stress variations in the component can be monitored more clearly, irrespective of train speed. As can be seen from fig. 9 (b), the signal quality of the piezoelectric crystal is high, and different pulses can be distinguished.
In addition, the waveform quality measured by the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor is better than that measured by the acceleration sensor.
Thus, with this test case, the following conclusions can be drawn:
the signal quality measured by the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor is superior to that measured by the acceleration sensor;
the signal measured by the pressure sensor shows a logarithmic relationship with the stress level, limiting its ability to detect load changes at higher load levels;
the linear relation between the signal and the stress level measured by the piezoelectric sensor can be displayed, so that the load change under the high load level can be detected better.
< test example two >
In this test example, the suitability of the above three sensors in different types of rail pad was tested. The test is performed by a simulation test system which comprises a rubber plate, a concrete block, a metal section and a backing plate and is used for simulating a track bed, a sleeper, a steel rail and a rail lower backing plate respectively. The materials and parameters of each structural simulation member are shown in tables 3 and 4.

And simulating a track structure, and sequentially placing a rubber plate, a concrete block, a rail lower backing plate and a metal section on the ground.
The pressure sensor is directly adhered to the upper surface of the rail pad, and the detection end of the pressure sensor is directly contacted with the bottom of the steel rail.
The accelerometer and the piezoelectric sensor are embedded in the rail pad groove on the lower surface of the rail pad plate, so that the accelerometer and the piezoelectric sensor are prevented from being damaged due to direct contact with the steel rail. In the test example, a circular rail pad groove with the diameter of 35mm and the depth of 3.5mm is formed in the middle of the lower surface of the rail pad plate.
During the measurement, a series of test loads are applied to the metal profile used to simulate the rail, and the signals measured by the various sensors are recorded. In this test example, the test load frequency was 5Hz and the stress level was 0 to 2000kPa.
FIG. 13 is a plot of acceleration versus vertical displacement measured by the acceleration sensor in this example.
As shown in fig. 13, the simulation test system (metal profile-rail pad-concrete block-rubber plate) produced a vertical displacement of 0 to 1mm at different stress levels. The difference in signals recorded by the acceleration sensor is small for different types of rail pad.
Fig. 14 is a line graph of voltage versus stress level measured by the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor in this test example, where PI represents the piezoelectric sensor.
As shown in fig. 14, similarly, the voltage value measured by the piezoelectric sensor is linearly related to the stress level, while the voltage value measured by the pressure sensor is logarithmically related to the stress level.
In addition, for the high stiffness pad, the voltage values recorded by the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor are higher, while when the medium and low stiffness pad is used, the voltage values measured by the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor are the lowest, namely, higher signal amplitude can be obtained on the high stiffness pad.
Thus, with this test case, the following conclusions can be drawn:
the signal measured by the acceleration sensor is irrelevant to the type of the rail pad;
the signals measured by the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor depend on the type of the rail pad, a higher signal amplitude is obtained on the high-stiffness pad, which has a higher stress concentration for the pressure sensor and a higher wave propagation capacity for the piezoelectric sensor. So that both are suitable for the rail pad with medium and high rigidity.
Test case III
In the test example, the monitoring capability of the three sensors on different track running conditions is tested. The track structure was also simulated by a simulation test system, and the test was performed with parameters of each structure simulation part as shown in table 5.

Figure BDA0004050555890000141
The parameters of the rail pad are the same as those in the second embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.
That is, the test structure of the present test case is basically the same as that of the second test case, except that the rubber sheet for simulating the ballast bed in the structure of the second test case is replaced with the first rubber sheet and the second rubber sheet of the present test case, respectively.
By simulating the rail pad with different types of pads, by simulating the ballast bed with the first rubber sheet or the second rubber sheet described above, a plurality of simulation test systems can be constructed.
The pressure sensor is directly adhered to the upper surface of the rail pad, and the detection end of the pressure sensor is directly contacted with the bottom of the steel rail.
The accelerometer and the piezoelectric sensor are embedded in the rail pad groove on the lower surface of the rail pad plate, so that the accelerometer and the piezoelectric sensor are prevented from being damaged due to direct contact with the steel rail. In the test example, a circular rail pad groove with the diameter of 35mm and the depth of 3.5mm is formed in the middle of the lower surface of the rail pad plate. I.e., the method of installing the three sensors in the system is the same as in test case two.
In this embodiment, two tests were performed on the above simulation test system:
according to the test I, a test machine is adopted to apply a preset loading sequence on each simulation test system, the loading sequence consists of a series of loads with stress of 0-2000 kPa, and different simulation test systems can be deformed to different degrees by the loading sequence, so that the condition that trains with different weights pass through different tracks is simulated, and vibration of the system is monitored by an acceleration sensor.
And secondly, testing, namely applying a series of different displacements to each simulation test system by using a testing machine, wherein the displacements are between 0 and 0.8mm, so that the deformation of the rail when a train passes through is simulated, and monitoring the stress change of the system by using a pressure sensor and a piezoelectric sensor respectively.
FIG. 15 is a graph of test results of acceleration sensors in the present test example, wherein FIG. 15 (a) is a graph of test results of test one, showing acceleration values measured by loading 500kPa, 1000kPa, 1500kPa stress on different systems, respectively; fig. 15 (b) is a test result diagram of test two, showing a measured pulse waveform diagram.
As shown in fig. 15 (a), the acceleration sensor is able to identify the different stress levels applied (i.e. simulate trains of different weights) while also being able to distinguish the differences between the different systems (the system employing a medium stiffness substrate and the system employing a low stiffness substrate) and thus to measure higher accelerations on the low stiffness substrate system expected to produce higher displacements. As shown in fig. 15 (b), the pulse quality measured by the acceleration sensor is poor.
FIG. 16 is a graph of the test results of the pressure sensor in this test example, wherein FIG. 16 (a) is a graph of the test results of test one, showing voltage values measured by applying displacement measurements of 0.25mm, 0.5mm, and 0.8mm, respectively, on different systems; fig. 16 (b) is a test result diagram of test two, showing a measured pulse waveform diagram.
FIG. 17 is a graph of the test results of the piezoelectric sensor in this test example, wherein FIG. 17 (a) is a graph of the test results of test one, showing voltage values measured by applying displacement measurements of 0.25mm, 0.5mm, and 0.8mm, respectively, on different systems; fig. 17 (b) is a test result diagram of test two, showing a measured pulse waveform diagram, in which PI represents a piezoelectric sensor.
As shown in fig. 16 (a) and 17 (a), the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor can identify different stress levels required for applying different displacements, and can clearly distinguish different analog test systems (a system using a medium-stiffness substrate and a system using a low-stiffness substrate), that is, can be applied to monitor an actual track structure, and can clearly distinguish different track system types. Furthermore, both the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor show a reduced signal amplitude when switching from a system employing a medium stiffness substrate to a system employing a low stiffness substrate.
As shown in fig. 16 (b) and 17 (b), the pulse can be clearly identified by using the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor, and the waveform similar to the waveform acquired by the standard instrument of the testing machine can be measured, so that the signal quality is good. And relatively speaking, the signal of the piezoelectric sensor is clearer.
Thus, with this test case, the following conclusions can be drawn:
the signal quality of the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor is better than that of the acceleration sensor;
the pressure sensor and the piezoelectric sensor can monitor the track performance change caused by traffic conditions or track support strength change, especially when the middle-high rigidity track pad is used;
the piezoelectric sensor provides the clearest signal output.
Therefore, based on the test and analysis of the test cases, the embodiment adopts a plurality of piezoelectric sensors, the signal quality obtained by monitoring is good, and the track performance change caused by the traffic condition or the track supporting strength change can be effectively monitored.
The above examples are only for illustrating the specific embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the description scope of the above examples.
