2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram showing an outline of a regular power supply system and a standby power supply system of a railway signal track circuit including a high voltage system.

Reference numeral 11 is a high voltage busbar in the substation, and both the regular high voltage power distribution line 12a and the spare high voltage power distribution line 12b are branched from this high voltage busbar 11. Also,
Predetermined locations along the track circuit 16 (for example, point A and B
Substation equipment is installed at the point.

The substation equipment provided at the point A includes a transformer 13a. 13b and a power switch 15a are provided. The primary side (input side) of the transformer 13a is connected to the regular high-voltage distribution line 12a via a high-voltage pull-down line 17a, and the secondary side (output side) is connected to a power switch 15a via a regular low-voltage pull-down line 14a. It is connected. Further, the primary side of the transformer 13b is connected to the auxiliary high voltage distribution line 12b via a high voltage down line 17b, and the secondary side is connected to the power source switching unit 15a via an auxiliary low voltage down line 14b.
The switching device 15a includes a low voltage pull-down line 14a. Either one of 14b is connected to the track circuit 16.

Similarly, in the substation equipment installed at the point B, the high / low voltage signal transformer 13c. 13d and a power switch 15b are provided. The primary side (input side) of the transformer 13c is connected to the regular high-voltage distribution line 12a via a high-voltage pull-down line 17c, and the secondary side (output side) is connected to a power switch 15b via a regular low-voltage pull-down line 14c.

The primary side of the transformer 13d is connected to the backup high-voltage distribution line 12b via the high-voltage pull-down line 17d, and the secondary side is connected to the power source switching unit 15b via the backup low-voltage pull-down line 14d. This switching device 15b is used for the low voltage pull-down line 14
Either one of c and 14d is connected to the track circuit 16.

As described above, in the railway signal track circuit, in the case of the main line, normally, there are provided two power sources, a regular power source system and a standby power source system. In this case, the normal power supply and the standby power supply must have the same polarity, and the voltage phase difference between the two power supplies must also be within a few degrees in view of the performance and characteristics required for the signal track circuit. is there. For example,
In FIG. 6, at the point A, the low pressure underlines 14a, 14b
It is necessary that the voltage phase difference at is less than several degrees, and at the point B, the voltage phase difference at the low voltage pull-down lines 14c and 14d be less than several degrees. For this reason,
If any one of the signal transformer, high-voltage pull-down line and low-voltage pull-down line has been subjected to maintenance work, a phase confirmation test should be conducted to confirm that the working power supply and standby power supply are in the same phase. I'm confirming.

In the case of this signal high-voltage two-line section, the polarities can be easily confirmed with a portable tester because there are two power sources, a regular power source and a spare power source, at the same point. However, in the signal 1 line section, there is no low-voltage power supply that is the reference for comparison, so conventionally, a large number of personnel were mobilized to check the indication of the traffic signal adjacent to the construction site and determine the polarity. Was.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a polarity test by confirming the actual appearance of a traffic signal associated with the power supply construction of a traffic signal in a conventional signal high voltage one-line section. As shown in this figure, when the power supply construction for the downlink first block signal and the upstream first block signal is performed in one line section, the low voltage power supply voltage line and the traffic signal are connected again, and the polarity of the connection is good or bad. In order to determine the signal, a large number of personnel are arranged between the adjacent traffic signals, for example, the traffic signal for the departure signal or the traffic signal for the upstream traffic, and the down first blocking signal and the up first blocking signal which have been constructed, and these traffic signals It is necessary to confirm that the switches are at the same timing.

[0009]

However, in the conventional polarity test by the actual confirmation of the traffic light, it is necessary to work in a wide area for confirmation, and much labor and long time are required.

In addition, in this confirmation method by the human tactics,
If the wrong polarity is mistakenly recognized, the traffic light will show blue where yellow should be and yellow where blue should be, which is a safety issue.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is possible to completely prevent a work mistake such as a polarity difference and to check the polarity extremely easily. An object is to provide a polarity confirmation device.

[0012]

A polarity confirmation device for a signal high voltage line according to the present invention detects a phase difference of a low voltage power source voltage for a signal transformed from an AC high voltage line in a high voltage signal high voltage line section. In the polarity confirmation device for one line section, a first phase detector that detects the phase of the low-voltage power supply voltage at a reference point and a second phase detector that detects the phase of the low-voltage power supply voltage at the phase confirmation point And transmitting means for transmitting at least one of the outputs of the first and second phase detectors by radio, and the detection results of the first and second phase detectors input via this transmitting means are in phase It is characterized in that it has a polarity detector for detecting whether it is in phase or in reverse phase.

[0013]

In the present invention, by the first phase detector,
The phase of the low power supply voltage is detected at the reference point, and the phase of the low power supply voltage is detected at the phase confirmation point by the second phase detector. The output of at least one of the first and second phase detectors is wirelessly transmitted to the polarity detector, and the polarity detector detects whether they are in-phase or opposite-phase.
As a result, according to the present invention, it is sufficient to arrange the personnel only at the two points of the reference point and the phase confirmation point, and moreover, the mistake of polarity confirmation can be eliminated.

The polarity detector can be integrated with one of the phase detectors. Further, it is preferable that the phase difference detected at the normal reference point is transmitted to the polarity detector provided at the phase confirmation point by the transmitting means. As a result, it is easy to simultaneously confirm the phases at a plurality of phase confirmation points. However, by providing a plurality of polarity detectors at the reference point, it is possible to simultaneously detect the phase difference at a plurality of points.

If there is a tunnel section or the like where wireless transmission is difficult between the reference point and the phase confirmation point, use a trackside telephone line for public transportation or a public telephone line,
The phase detection signal may be transmitted to the telephone box.
