Definitions
- the invention relates to an axle counter according to the preamble of Claim 1.
- Such an electromagnetically operating axle counter for track vacancy detection is known from DE-C1-32 18 541. With the axle counter described there the output values of the are not influenced by a wheel Rail contact saved and as reference values for recognizing later Inspection events used. An inspection event is only considered as such if the values supplied by the rail contact are one predefined percentage deviation from the stored, at values unaffected by rail contact. This Relative evaluation should make rail contact largely independent of external influences such. B. rail currents or mechanical Rail tensions.
- Deviation is fixed and can have a value of around 40%. If For example, the unaffected rail contact outputs a value A, then an inspection event is only evaluated if the one supplied by the rail contact Value is 40% above A. It is now assumed that the outer Conditions have changed and the unaffected rail contact is now one Outputs value A '. An inspection event is now evaluated if the of Value delivered by rail contact by the same percentage, i.e. 40% is the new value A '. Depending on the type of external influences that lead to a Change in value from A to A ', it may be necessary also change the percentage to get a reliable axle count guarantee.
- the invention is based on the idea that a really reliable Adaptation of the threshold to be exceeded to changed external ones Conditions is only possible if the new threshold from the rail contact influenced by a wheel and not by multiplication with a predetermined factor from the uninfluenced rail contact delivered value is calculated.
- further switching means provided that the new threshold or values from changes required to calculate it of receiver output signals via a was obtained over a period of several axis passes are determined and fed to the memory. So go according to the invention Values which are tapped at the rail contact influenced by a wheel have been.
- Claims 2 and 3 relate to the origin of the upgrade command. After that can an upgrade command on site, e.g. with routine maintenance of the Rail contact can be entered manually or, if necessary, also automatically, from one in a signal box or similar superordinate control unit located monitoring device, to be triggered.
- the subject of claim 4 is a monitoring device which e.g. carry out statistical evaluations and issue an upgrade signal in the Location is.
- Claim 5 finally, relates to an embodiment for a Evaluation circuit.
- Fig. 1 is on a rail of a track GL of a railroad system a rail contact SCH, with a sending head SK, a receiving head EK and assigned transmitter and Receiver circuits S and E, which are in a few meters from the track remotely located, so-called electronic junction box EAK are housed together with an evaluation circuit AS.
- Transmit head SK and receive head EK of the rail contact SCH are via separate connecting lines with the electronic Junction box EAK connected.
- the ones in the electronic junction box located transmitter circuit S is used to excite vibration arranged in the transmitter head, the receiver circuit E has the task of amplifying the signal induced in the receiving head and according to its amplitude and / or phase position (opposite the transmission signal as a reference) in a the wheel position during the Analogue representing continuity through the rail contact Convert output signal.
- the ones in the electronic junction box located evaluation circuit AS compares that of the Received analog output signal with a Threshold and sets it with sufficient signal amplitude and Signal duration in a counting pulse for the signal box.
- axle counters use a fixed threshold value set voltage that, once set, never again is changed. Since a change in the received signal with the Time, e.g. due to rail wear, is inevitable, must from time to time these axle counters get the contact with the rails readjusted, i.e. mechanically adjusted that the Received signal back to the originally supplied received signal corresponds.
- the evaluation circuit contains AS, as shown in Fig. 2, for storing the Threshold rewritable memory SMA, SMI that allow the entered threshold with a new one Replace threshold.
- the averaging can also take place before the storage and the mean itself get saved.
- the discrete arrangement shown in Fig. 2 can also by a computer can be realized.
- the latter is particularly useful then when a remote setting from a parent Control station, e.g. an interlocking is provided.
- the computer can then be used for data exchange with the control center become.
