Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for specifying vehicle shunting routes, which allows vehicle handling operations associated with the sorting and shunting of railroad vehicles to be performed even in flat yards, station premises, and the like. Conventionally, the sorting and shunting work associated with the sorting and shunting of rolling stock on railways can be roughly divided into freight car sorting work, which is carried out professionally at the large-scale Hanfu yard, and freight car sorting work, which is carried out in relatively small-scale flat yards or within station premises. There are two types of work that can be considered: disassembly and reassembly of vehicles.

In the former, automatic freight car sorting equipment is used for the purpose of continuously disassembling and sorting a large number of vehicles due to the nature of the work, and in the latter, automatic freight car sorting equipment is used for sudden sorting and shunting of vehicles on flat tracks. A method using a freight car route control device is used in which a control command is given to a relay interlocking device to configure the route, but since the former method of automatic freight car sorting device is mainly used to sort vehicles, the disassembly position is fixed at one point on Sakafu, and the point control has destination data for each disassembled vehicle using the disassembly information tape, and when each disassembled vehicle enters the track circuit, the next point is set in the direction of the disassembly route. In the latter case, when maneuvering vehicles for disassembly and composition, the relay interlocking device configures the route including points based on the decomposition composition information, so the route is set from the starting point to the destination, and each point is There are many inconveniences in the shunting route setting method for disassembling and assembling vehicles on flat tracks, etc., such as the fact that it is impossible to turn back midway through fixed and protruding vehicles, and there are problems in work efficiency. Therefore, each point has data corresponding to the composition and disassembly vehicle, and when the track circuit is escaped, the point can be changed to the next disassembly direction, or the moving direction of the vehicle can be judged and the point can be changed to the next composition direction. This is done for the purpose of changing direction, and it is possible to perform consecutive ejections, and the ejection positions can be freely set.As the vehicle moves, the points change sequentially and a composition route is formed, so that the next direction can be reached in the shortest distance. It has many advantages such as being able to fold back the composition, it can be used for disassembly and composition with the simplification of the device, it can be ejected and the ejection position is not fixed, and it is possible to turn back the composition midway through. This improves work efficiency and furthermore provides an unprecedented vehicle switching path setting method in which the sequential change of points is controlled by the moving point of the vehicle, making it possible to avoid sudden disassembly or composition of vehicles. In the intended vehicle shunting work, track circuits to detect the entry and exit of vehicles will be installed on the point section of the sorting line, on the pulling line side, and on the sorting line side, respectively, and a train disassembly table or train composition table will be installed. Based on this, the switching direction and order of each sorting line point are stored in a point data register in advance, and based on the memory, the current disassembled vehicle or composition vehicle is set in a point section corresponding to the course configuration of the next disassembled vehicle or the next composition vehicle, respectively. The track circuit detects that the vehicle has escaped to the pulling line side or the sorting line side, respectively, the position and moving direction of the vehicle are determined at that point, and the relevant point equipment for subsequent vehicle maneuvering is set according to the point register. It is characterized by automatic conversion control.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a track layout diagram thereof, and Figs. 2 T and P are a disassembly table showing the correspondence relationship with the disassembly number line of the disassembled vehicle and each point machine. The point data register that stores the control order, T, (Ex) in Figure 3 is a distribution point table showing the point equipment to be distributed in the release work of the first disassembly car and the second disassembly car, and the same point table, respectively. An application example showing the relationship between the disassembly number, disassembly number line, and distribution point when applied to the disassembly table in Fig. 2. Figs. 4 and 5 are the first disassembled car and the third disassembled car, respectively, in Fig. 1. Figures 6 T and P are a composition table and a point data register respectively showing the case where the method of the present invention is applied to sorting line shunting course setting in composition work. It is.

First, in the track layout diagram shown in Figure 1, six sorting lines, 1st, 2nd, 6th, etc., are laid with the main sorting line, which is an extension of the pull-up line, as the base line, and the branching points of each sorting line are Point devices P ₁ , P ₂ to _{P 5} and point detection track circuits 1T, 2T to 5T, which control each point device and detect vehicles within each point section, are successively attached, respectively. ing. 1LT, 2LT…
...6LT is a track circuit that is installed along the corresponding sorting lines No. 1, No. ₂ , No. 6 from each pointer P ₁ , P 2 ... P ₅ , and detects vehicles on the sorting line, respectively.
PT is a track circuit installed along the pull line from point P ₁ to detect vehicles on the pull line, and L is a release permit for giving permission to the driver of the release locomotive to start release work. The indicator light M is a track display type switching sign.

Next, Figure 2 T is a sorting line disassembly table.The train to be disassembled is made up of 10 cars indicated by disassembly numbers 1, 2...10, and the sorting line number corresponding to the vehicle with each disassembly number is disassembled. It is written as a number line. Figure 2 P shows point devices P ₁ , P ₂ . _. . A point data register that stores and numerically encodes the order controlled by anti-position, (10)
(01) represents the normal position (to the left with respect to the sorting direction), and (01) represents the reverse position (to the right with respect to the sorting direction).

For example, according to the disassembly table, the vehicle with disassembly number 1 is
It is supposed to be sorted to platform 5, and after being separated from the thrust locomotive, it will enter platform 5 by self-propelled power, but for this purpose the point device is P ₁ → Orientation (10), P ₂ → Localization (10), P ₃ → Localization (10), P ₄ →
It can be seen from Figure 2 P that the control is as follows: normal position (10), P ₅ → reverse position (01). The symbol indicated by a broken line in FIG. 2P means that the current direction of control must be maintained without performing reverse control.

Figure 3 T is a distribution point table for directly determining the corresponding track circuit, including the points for sorting between the currently disassembled car and the next disassembled ear when sorting work is carried out according to the disassembly table shown in Figure 2 T. For example, the first
The sorting number line of the disassembly car is number 5, and that of the second disassembly car is number 3, so the number 5 on the column T in Figure 3 is
3T is determined as the intersection of the horizontal line passing through the number line and the vertical line passing through the third line on the horizontal row. This means that after the first decomposition car is ejected to track 5, the track circuit including the point device that must be controlled next is 3T when the ejection locomotive and the following decomposition car return to the pulling line. It means that.

In this way, according to the T disassembly table in Fig. 2, the corresponding track circuit of the distribution point for each disassembled car is determined using the T distribution point table in Fig. 3.
is obtained.

The method of the present invention is carried out in the manner described below using the means shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 above. That is, first, the first disassembled car is sorted into line 5 under the control of the point devices _P1 , _P2 to _P5 indicated by disassembly number 1, according to the disassembly table in Figure 2 and the point data register. Ru. As shown in FIG. 1, the first disassembled vehicle that has been ejected travels on the track circuits PT, 1T, 2T, . . . 5T and enters the 5th track.

The ejection locomotive and the following disassembly car can perform ejection work from any point on the sorting line side of the track circuit, including the track circuit PT.

This detects when the ejection locomotive and the following disassembled car are pulled upstream from the point device and when the point device control is completed by determining the detection position and movement direction by combining the entry and exit detection of each track circuit. This is because the overflow permission display L lights up, allowing the driver of the overflow locomotive to know the timing to start overflow. As shown in Fig. 4, the ejection locomotive and the subsequent disassembly car move backward toward the pull line for the next disassembly, but the track circuit corresponding to the distribution point for the next disassembly, that is, the second disassembly car, is as follows. From the T distribution point table in Figure 3, it can be seen that it is 3T. Therefore, when the first disassembly car passes 3T, switch P ₃ can be controlled to switch to (01) (rightward), and after the switching control of switch P ₃ is completed, It becomes possible to immediately carry out the work of releasing the second disassembly vehicle.

In carrying out the method of the present invention, particularly significant effects are exhibited in the sorting work between the third disassembly car and the fourth disassembly car. That is, the decomposition table (Fig. 2 T)
According to the above, the sorting line of the third disassembly car is the sixth line, and each point device is controlled as shown in the point data register.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 5, the third disassembly car runs on track circuits 2T, 3T...6LT, and at this time, as shown in the point data register (Fig. 2), the fourth disassembly car In preparation for sorting, point machine P ₁
is maintained as it is, and P ₂ performs control to change to (01) (rightward) when there are no vehicles on track circuit 2T. Furthermore, regarding the point machines P ₃ and P ₅ , each time the third disassembly car finishes passing through the hand track circuit including each point, the point machine P ₃ for the fifth disassembly car, Also _P5
performs conversion control in advance for the seventh disassembled vehicle.

According to the method of the present invention, the point devices are sequentially controlled in advance based on the information stored in the point data register, so the following disassembled vehicle is reversed to a fixed position where the approach path is formed, unlike the conventional vehicle steering method. It is no longer necessary to do so, and by reversing to a position beyond the track circuit corresponding to the distribution point, it is possible to restart the overflow operation, and the control timing of the point device can be carried out over the shortest distance, greatly improving the efficiency of the vehicle handling operation. improves.

Furthermore, a significant effect of the method of the present invention is that it becomes possible to set vehicle shunting routes not only for disassembly work but also for reassembly work using the same control system.

That is, according to the composition table shown in FIG. 6T, conversion data for each point device is stored and prepared as a point data register as shown in FIG. 6P. Since the first composition is the sixth wire, the point devices P ₁ , P _{2 .} . . P ₅ are controlled in the (10) direction.

Therefore, the locomotive was installed on the track circuit for composition work.
Enter track 6 from PT, connect the vehicles, and pull up to the towing line.

After that, when the locomotive and the following vehicle escape from the track circuit 1T to the pull line side, the next composition work is based on the track circuit table corresponding to the distribution points in Figure 3. Since 1T is the relevant track circuit, the point device P Control ₁ to (01) (rightward).

Thereafter, in the same manner, the switching of the point machines is sequentially controlled so that a predetermined vehicle assembly work can be efficiently performed by traveling the shortest distance.

As described through the above embodiments, according to the method of the present invention, track circuits for detecting the entry and exit of vehicles are attached to the point section, the pull line side, and the sorting line side, respectively, and a disassembly table (composition table) is provided in advance. Based on this, the conversion control order of each point is stored as a point data register, and according to this, the current ejection vehicle or composition vehicle is assigned a distribution point related to the route configuration of the next disassembly vehicle or next composition vehicle. When escaping from the corresponding track circuit to the destination line side or to the pulling line side, the position and direction of movement are determined by the combination of track circuits, and the related point devices for subsequent maneuvering work are controlled to switch. Since they operate sequentially, instantaneous power consumption is small, eliminating the need for the following vehicle to repeatedly drive to a certain position, shortening vehicle handling time, and making it possible to set sorting line shunting routes not only for disassembly work but also for reassembly work. The method of the present invention is industrially extremely useful because it provides a method for setting routes for shunting railway cars.
