Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for at least temporary protection from within the control of one Rail vehicle objects against at least one Emission from the rail vehicle.
  • Pointed data transmission sources are exemplary and sinks (balises), linear data transmission sources and sinks (loop), track vacancy detection systems (direct current circuits) and called axle counting systems.
  • the invention is based on the object a method for at least temporarily protecting objects to be specified within the scope of emissions of Rail vehicles arrive without being more expensive New acquisitions and conversions are required.
  • the process achieves a related one Improvement that either already on the rail vehicle existing components and / or the operating procedure of the Rail vehicle and / or the object temporarily adjusted so ensure that the specified protection goal is achieved.
  • this carries the classification of the objects according to their Protection needs as well as those predefined for each protection goal temporarily activated measure at. It can in particular be exploited that the spatial extent of the objects provided with a need for protection is very small the expansion of the entire route network.
  • a useful subdivision for the classification of the objects it provides for the protection objectives in the classes of mechanical, acoustic and electrical and / or to divide magnetic vulnerability, being for one or more protection levels graded in classes can be defined.
  • graded limit values for the maximum in each case permissible field strength acting on the object and / or Frequency ranges can be specified.
  • An alternative to this is a list of geographic location data for a planned from Select the route to be traveled by rail vehicle, which changes the amount of data on a computer Rail vehicle data to be loaded significantly reduced.
  • This data can also be obtained from the train driver, for example a suitable interface in the vehicle computer can be entered.
  • An alternative approach to this can be the fact take advantage of that with increasing equipment of the Rail network with point and / or linear and / or GSM-based data transmission facilities by way of Achievement of the ETCS standards a corresponding number of Sources of information are available with which information over one or more following in a route section Objects with an indication of the respective distance from the Information source is transferred to the rail vehicle.
  • the rail vehicle thus receives the object data and in situ now only needs an incremental distance determination perform so as to trigger the object-related Take measure with establishing the emission contact.
  • One for the suppression of disturbing magnetic and / or electrical fields can be a particularly useful measure a decrease in traction current and / or Have the braking power reduced.
  • This measure is particularly suitable for objects that are only very spatial are limited in size and still have a safety technology are of paramount importance, such as Axle counter and Balise.
  • By the essential and temporary Reduction of traction current and / or braking performance can be a malfunction or even a hazard to the railway operations are excluded.
  • this Reduction be turned off to the braking, which then Takes precedence over interference-free data transmission, to perform unrestrictedly in the manner requested can.
  • Another measure against the above electro-magnetic fields can consist of the Rail vehicle temporarily a compensation unit for To control compensation of occurring magnetic fields.
  • This compensation unit knows the certain Operating states emanating from the rail vehicle electro-magnetic fields and generates them Place of origin and / or as close as possible to the object coming place at the over / by drive a corresponding Opposing field, so that the two fields largely neutralize.
  • Compensation unit can be used as a possible measure disturbing electro-magnetic fields also the use of a Shielding unit for absorbing occurring magnetic Fields. It can be the most distracting Field-emitting component in terms of their radiation towards the object temporarily or permanently with frequency-dependent shielding materials.
  • a a possible configuration can also be a temporary one Influencing the screen material, such as the or switching off a DC magnetic field for Premagnetization of a ferromagnetic shield material his. For example, this results from premagnetization towards an end of the hysteresis curve for the shield material a comparatively good shielding effect against electrical Fields due to the premagnetization not to influencing electrical conductivity of the Screen material.
  • Another option is to use a series suction or resp. Resonant circuit.
  • This solution is thereby restricted that they only at a fixed frequency works and therefore usually only one product type of e.g. Can protect axle counters.
  • the method according to the invention on the other hand, it enables one for every position worthy of protection give individual frequency recommendation. This can help the best possible adjustment can be made to the vehicle.
  • the slope that is, whether the route descending in the area of emission contact with the object, rising or level.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a Track area 2 with an object to be temporarily protected, here In the present case, an axle counter 4, in the track area 2.
  • an axle counter 4 in the track area 2.
  • the balises 6, 8 are used here Exemplary embodiment to that in a control unit 10, 12 for a signal 14, 16 formed signal range on Transfer rail vehicle. More in the Beauty telegram transmitted data give speed limits and Braking curves for the rail vehicles. It is therefore easy to understand, especially for the safe Transmission of the Beauty telegram particularly high Requirements apply.
  • the balises 6, 8 in With regard to disturbing electromagnetic fields in need of protection and therefore classified with a protection objective.
  • the axle counter 4 is also very sensitive to disturbing electromagnetic fields, particularly from the Motors and / or the eddy current brake one Rail vehicle are emitted.
  • the axle counter 4 falls thus in the class of the electromagnetic protection target, which in turn in the present embodiment in five Protection levels divided. It is assumed here that the Axle counter is grouped in the highest protection level 1.
  • a similar classification is now available for everyone with the Rail vehicle objects coming into contact with emissions a need for protection has been defined, performed.
  • the balises 6, 8 also in the class of the electromagnetic protection target, but find it in the lowest protection level 5 because that Balis telegram modulated onto a carrier signal and is encrypted cyclically.
  • the empty fields for vehicle type 5 are examples for being either one with regard to the Protection goal and, if applicable, the protection level of an emission-free vehicle deals with electrical traction because, for example, one excellent shielding is provided, or because that Vehicle, for example, a diesel locomotive without Eddy current brake is and the problem of electromagnetic Interference fields do not exist.
  • Problematic for this the latter type of vehicle could, for example, the Drive through a tunnel for which an exhaust gas protection target has been defined and for that as a possible measure a throttling of the engine speed or the like Measures to reduce the amount of exhaust gas are provided. Nevertheless, the measure can also be provided for the property and the tunnel control can be selective by itself Open the tunnel ventilation flaps that the Locomotion of the diesel locomotive follow around the exhaust gas to pull out of the tunnel as best as possible.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a device to compensate for electromagnetic fields on the Underside of a car body 22 of a rail vehicle 24 is arranged.
  • the rail vehicle 24 comprises two Bogies 26, 28, each with two drive motors 30, 32 are equipped. Between the two bogies 26, 28 are other components, such as a transformer 34 and Inverters 36, 38 are arranged. All of the above Components are particularly in modern multiple units, like ICE3, in the immediate ground area by a sufficient To be able to guarantee space in the passenger compartment. In order to but these components are also in close proximity of safety-related track equipment, such as the Axle counters 4 and the balises 6, 8, and the loops arranged. Because of the high power consumption of these components these components at the same time senders more diverse electromagnetic fields and thus a source of interference for the safety-related track equipment.
  • safety-related track equipment such as the Axle counters 4 and the balises 6, 8, and the loops arranged. Because of the high power consumption of these components these components at the same time senders more diverse
  • resonant circuits L1 to L5 In order to compensate for these electromagnetic interference fields for each of these components resonant circuits L1 to L5 provided, whose resonance frequency in each case Frequency range with the greatest interference potential is or but on the working frequency of the object to be protected are coordinated and therefore above all with regard to the alternating magnetic fields are directed in opposite directions Counterinduction fields radiate or as a suction circle Series resonance and thus at least part of the annoying field emissions.
  • These resonant circuits L1 up to L5 can be active whenever that Rail vehicle with an object to be protected in Emission contact comes. It would also be conceivable to do this To actively control resonant circuits L1 to L5 with a signal, at least for the magnetic fields emitted related to the most disruptive frequency range, so that the fields neutralize.
  • FIG. 3 Another embodiment is shown in Figure 3 that a schematic plan view of the track area 2 with a object to be temporarily protected, here a small one by one House represented settlement 40, outside the track area 2 represents.
  • a small one by one House represented settlement 40 outside the track area 2 represents.
  • significantly larger emission contact area 20 ' For such an object can be used as a noise-reducing measure be provided, one in the emission contact area 20 ' train not to brake and / or not to accelerate. In the case of a gradient, this can even be done can still be used to reduce noise by adding a Towards the train driving its locomotive in Operates recuperation braking and thus all wagons of the Train have accumulated on the buffer. In the event of in ascending direction moving train can be tried to choose the speed of the train so that a good one Compromise between noise emissions and route occupancy achieved can be.
