  • Such a sensor device is known in the form of a two-channel sensor head for detecting a rail vehicle wheel from the Polish patent PL 199810 Bl.
  • the sensor head comprises a transmitting and a receiving head.
  • the transmission header comprises two transmit coils, which are arranged on one side of the running rail toward ⁇ behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the running rail and are fed with an AC voltage.
  • the receiving head arranged on the other side of the running rail comprises two receiving devices, each with two reception coils connected in series with each other in opposite directions relative to the longitudinal direction of the running rail.
  • the present invention is based on the object to provide a sensor device of the aforementioned type, which is particularly advantageous in terms of their operational characteristics.
  • a sensor device for detecting a wheel moving along a travel rail, the sensor device on one side of the rail with two with an AC voltage, based on a Longitudinal direction of the running rail arranged behind one another transmitter coils and interconnected on the other side of the running rail with two receiving means each having two opposite directions to each other in series, relative to the longitudinal direction of the running rail arranged one behind another receiver coil according to the invention achieved in that the Sensoreinrich ⁇ processing of on the one hand Rail at least one bezo ⁇ gen arranged on the longitudinal direction of the running rail between the transmitting coils further transmitting coil, that the Sen- spool and the at least one further transmitting coil with an AC voltage of the same frequency are fed and that of the at least one further transmitting coil generated magnetic ⁇ cal Flow is directed opposite to the magnetic fluxes generated by the transmitting coils.
  • the sensor device for detecting a moving along a rail wheel thus has on one side of the running rail two ⁇ with an alternating voltage-fed with respect to a longitudinal direction of the running rail arranged behind one another on transmission coils.
  • the formulation includes "sequentially arranged" basic ⁇ additionally also a partially overlapping arrangement of the transmit coils. This means that the phrase "arranged one after the other” essentially refers to the respective longitudinal coil axis or coil center.
  • the transmitting coils are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the running rail such that they are spaced apart in a non-overlapping manner.
  • the direction Sensorein ⁇ two receiving devices each having two opposite directions to one another series-connected receiving coils.
  • the receiving coils are also arranged one behind the other with respect to the longitudinal direction of the running rail, with a partially overlapping arrangement also being possible in principle according to the above remark in connection with the transmitting coils.
  • the sensor device according to the invention is now distinguished because ⁇ by the fact that they i.e. on the side on which the two transmitting coils are arranged, at least one relative arranged to the longitudinal direction of the rail between the transmitter coils further transmitter coil has on the one side of the running rail, ,
  • the phase difference is 180 °, that is arranged between the transmitting coils wei ⁇ tere transmitter coil has an opposite compared to the two transmitting coils ⁇ magnetic polarity.
  • the further transmission ⁇ reel is acted upon with a shifted compared to the transmit coils by 180 ° in the phase AC voltage.
  • the further transmitting coil differs in terms of its sense of winding from the transmitting coils, which also occurs when exposed to an alternating voltage of the same phase position
  • the sensor ⁇ device for example, from symmetry or potential ⁇ separation set, two or more separate, disposed between the transmitting coils more transmitting coils same phase position may have.
  • the sensor device according to the invention is advantageous since the further transmitting coil leads to an increase in the signal overlap of the two receiving devices. This is advantageous especially with small signal levels occurring and increases the reliability of a direction of travel detection based on the signals detected by the two receiving devices. Due to the fact that the receiving devices in each case have two receiving coils connected in series with one another in series, disturbing influences induced externally are largely suppressed. The reason for this is that corresponding disturbing influences generally affect both receiving coils of a receiving device equally. This applies, for example, with regard to rail currents which, as a rule, have a high degree of symmetry with respect to their coupling into the receiver coils. In addition, the corresponding compensation also applies to magnetic far fields. These may be caused, for example, by adjacent sensor devices whose transmitter magnetic field could otherwise lead to resonant beats in the receiver coils.
  • the fact that the magnetic flux generated by the at least one further transmitting coil is directed counter to the magnetic fluxes generated by the transmitting coils, in addition to the opposing interconnection of the receiving coils of the receiving devices also advantageously has the effect that in each case both receiving coils of the receiving ⁇ devices contribute to the detection of a useful or detection signal. This leads to an increase in the reception voltages of the receiving devices and thus ultimately to an increase in the sensor sensitivity.
  • the coils of the erfindungsge ⁇ MAESSEN sensor device can each be constructed from a plurality of series-connected sub-coils.
  • the transmitting coils, the at least one further transmitting coil and the receiving coils of the sensor device according to the invention can be arranged in different manners. This applies both in respect to the distance of each ⁇ tries coils from each other and from the running rail as well as with respect to the alignment of the respective coils.
  • the transmitting coils which are at least a further transmitting coil and the receiving coils oriented substantially ⁇ oriented horizontally, perpendicularly to the running rail, so that the coil axes point in the direction of the running rail.
  • the transmitting coils, the at least one further transmitting coil and / or the receiving coils in each case also be tilted with respect to the horizontal and / or the ent ⁇ speaking vertical to the running rail.
  • the inventive sensor device can further be formed in the manner that the transmission coil, the least at ⁇ a further transmitting coil and the receiving coils are arranged such that in each case a receiving voltage of the same polarity resulting in movement past a wheel on the sensor device in the receiving coils of the respective receiving means ,
  • the polarity of the receiving voltages of their receiving coils is the same according to said preferred development of the receiving coil, so that at a summation of the received voltages for each of the receiving devices, a magnitude increase in amplitude compared to the received voltages of the individual receiving coils respective receiving device results.
  • the arrangement and orientation of the coils of the sensor device can be selected, for example, such that the "outer" receiving coils of the receiving devices seen in the longitudinal direction of the running rail are essentially arranged by a respective one on the other side of the running rail. nete transmission coil can be influenced.
  • the two in the longitudinal direction of the rail "inner” or “middle” receiving coils of the two receiving devices are advantageously arranged with respect to the other transmitting coil such that they are significantly influenced by the further transmitting coil or caused by this magnetic flux. Due to the fact that the magnetic flux of the white ⁇ send coil opposite to the magnetic fluxes of the transmitting coils, this would normally be induced in the two inner receiving coils each receive a receiving voltage whose sign is opposite to the receiving voltages of the respective outer receiving coil.
  • the sign of the receiving voltages of the central receiving coils rotates so that the receiving voltages of the receiving coils of a receiving device advantageously have the same polarity.
  • both receiving coils of the receiving devices each provide a contribution to the signal or receiving voltage of the respective receiving device.
