Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring a gauge of a railway track,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring a gauge of a train line and a control method thereof.

The speed of trains within the railway track is 80km to 300km / h, and there are many safety inspections to check the condition of the railway line so that the train can run safely on the railway.

As one of the safety inspections, a rail gauge, which is an interval between two train lines installed side by side facing each other, is measured to judge whether or not a train line is warped, a line warp phenomenon or a disconnection, You should control the driving condition.

The measuring instrument measuring the gauge of the railway track is located in the measurement frame attached to the lower part of the train. The railway track is photographed with a laser scanner, and the gauge between two railway tracks is measured .

At this time, the laser scanner is not positioned in front of the upper surface of each of the two train lines, that is, the first and second rail lines, perpendicular to each other, that is, opposite to each other, but inclined at a predetermined angle, Respectively.

However, the attitude of the measurement frame changes due to the impact generated during running of the train or the shaking of the train body shaken during running, and the position of the laser scanner is also changed due to the change of the position of the measurement frame. There arises a problem that the posture of the laser scanner changes at the initial setting position.

When the posture of the first and second laser scanners located on the first and second rail lines is changed due to the posture change of the measurement frame, the inclination angles of the first and second laser scanners and the corresponding laser traces The laser irradiation angle is also changed.

In order to measure the gauge between the first and second train lines, the first and second laser scanners use a triangulation method using laser light that is reflected and incident on a train line.

Therefore, since the gauge size varies depending on the installation angles of the first and second laser scanners, if the inclination angles of the first and second laser scanners are different from the initial inclination angle, the magnitude of the gauge measured varies, There was a problem that accuracy was poor. In general, since the initial installation angles of the first and second laser scanners are the same, the initial inclination angles of the first and second laser scanners are also the same.

The width of the flat flat surface portions of the head surfaces of the first and second train rails is generally about 20 mm. When the first and second laser scanners are installed perpendicular to the two train rails facing each other (That is, when the setting angle is 90 °), the laser scanner can recognize the angle change by changing the angle by more than 40 μm in the Z axis direction while changing 20 mm in the X axis direction.

This means that it is necessary to change Δz / Δx = 40/20000 = 0.002 or more as a slope, and when the angle is converted, tan -1 is 0.002 = 0.1146, which means that the angle change can be recognized by about 0.115 ° or more. That is, when the first and second laser scanners are installed vertically, the angular resolution is 0.1 degrees or more.

When the first and second laser scanners are installed vertically without being installed vertically, the resolving power of the laser scanner is deteriorated as the inclination angle is decreased (i.e., the degree of inclination is increased).

For example, when the installation angle of the first and second laser scanners is 45 degrees, the resolution in the direction perpendicular to the head surface of the train rail is 165 占 퐉, the inclination is 0.00825 or more, the angle is more than 0.473 占The laser scanner can detect the angle change.

Further, when the first and second laser scanners have an installation angle of 64 degrees, the resolution vertical to the head surface of the train rail is deteriorated to 208 mu m so as to be 0.0104 or more in inclination and 0.596 DEG or more in angle, The change of the angle is recognized. That is, the angular resolution of the laser scanner is reduced to about 0.6 degrees.

However, in the related art, no compensation operation is performed for the change of the installation angle of the laser scanner, the correction operation for the angular resolution of the laser scanner is not performed, and the accuracy of the gauge measurement is also deteriorated.

Also, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements as well, without departing from the other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an apparatus and method for measuring a gauge of a railway track according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, an apparatus for measuring a gauge of a railway track (hereinafter referred to as a 'gauge measuring apparatus') according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

1, the gauge measuring apparatus according to this embodiment includes a first laser scanner (not shown) mounted on one end of a measurement frame MF attached to a lower portion of a train (not shown) 11, a second laser scanner 12 mounted on the other end of the measuring frame MF, a first scanner inclination sensor 21 mounted on the first laser scanner 11, a second laser scanner 12 A measuring frame inclination angle detecting unit 31 mounted on the center of the measuring frame MF; a second frame detecting unit 31 for detecting the position of the train using the position information of the train; The first and second laser scanner 11 and 12 and the first and second laser inclination sensors 21 and 22 and the measurement frame inclination sensor 31 and the train position sensing unit 41 A storage unit 60 connected to the gauge measuring unit 50, Hitting and an output section 70 that are connected to the measuring gauge section 50. The

The first laser scanner 11 is a device for acquiring a corresponding image by scanning a corresponding train line (for example, a first train line) R1 that is facing the first laser scanner 11. The first laser scanner 11 includes a laser irradiation unit R1, and a laser light receiving unit that receives the returned laser, and the like, and may be a line laser scanner.

The second laser scanner 12 performs the same function as the first laser scanner 11 and acquires the corresponding image by scanning the corresponding train line (for example, the second train line) . The second laser scanner 12 also has a laser irradiation part and a laser light receiving part.

4, the first laser scanner 11 and the second laser scanner 12 are installed perpendicularly to the installation surface and are inclined with respect to the installation surface by a predetermined angle so that the angles? 1 and? 2 So that laser irradiation can be performed.

The first and second scanner inclination angle sensing portions 21 and 22 are mounted on the first laser scanner 11 and the second laser scanner 12 so that the first laser scanner 11 and the second laser And detects the inclination angle of the scanner 12.

Therefore, when the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 are initially installed using the first and second scanner inclination sensing portions 21 and 22, the installer can obliquely align the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 at a desired angle When the first and third laser scanners 11 and 12 are inclined at 64 degrees as described above, the laser beams of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 are incident on the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12, The irradiation angles? 1 and? 2 are 26 degrees.

If necessary, the gauge measuring unit 50 may measure the inclination angle of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 using the inclination angle detection signal applied from the first and second scanner inclination angle sensing units 21 and 22, The inclination angle is determined.

4, the first laser scanner 11 and the second laser scanner 12 are mounted on both ends of the measurement frame MF, respectively. Therefore, the posture of the measurement frame MF The inclination angle of the first laser scanner 11 and the inclination angle of the second laser scanner 12 are changed as the inclination angle of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 changes. The magnitudes of the laser irradiation angles? 1 and? 2 of the scanners 11 and 12 also change at an initial irradiation angle (e.g., 26 deg.).

Therefore, the gauge measuring unit 50 calculates the gauge of the current gauge Drc measured according to the change of the inclination angle of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12, using the degree of inclination of the measurement frame MF And performs a correction operation to calculate the final gauge (Drf).

To this end, since the amount of change (hereinafter referred to as the irradiation angle variation) with respect to the laser irradiation angle of the laser scanners 11 and 12, which varies depending on the degree of inclination of the measurement frame MF, is stored in the storage unit 60, The first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 are disposed in the storage unit 60. The first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 are disposed in the storage unit 60. The first and second laser scanners 11 and 12, The gauge Drr is measured.

In an alternative example, the gauge measuring unit 50 may use the amount of change in the irradiation angle of the laser scanners 11 and 12 due to the degree of inclination of the measurement frame MF, instead of using the first and second scanner inclination angle sensing units The actual gauges Drr can be calculated by using the actual inclination angles measured by the gauges 21 and 22. In this case, the actual laser irradiation angles of the first and second laser scanners corresponding to the measured actual inclination angles of the first and second laser scanners are already stored in the storage unit 60. [

As shown in FIG. 4, the gauges, which are gaps between the first and second trains R1 and R2 which are spaced apart from one another and arranged side by side, are spaced apart from each other by first and second traces Is the distance between the inner side surfaces of the first and second railway lines R1 and R2 and the straight line distance between the measurement points P1 and P2 of the first and second railway lines R1 and R2.

The measurement points P1 and P2 of the first and second train lines R1 and R2 are located below the set distances Dh at the highest points T1 and T2 of the first and second train lines R1 and R2, The inner side point is located. At this time, the set distance Dh may be, for example, 14 mm.

4, the X-axis direction is a linear direction (e.g., a horizontal direction) between the two train lines R1 and R2, and a Y-axis direction is a traveling direction of the train lines R1 and R2 And the Z-axis direction is the height direction of each of the train lines R1 and R2.

The measurement frame inclination angle sensing unit 31 is installed at the center of the measurement frame MF to sense the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF and then outputs the inclination angle sensing signal corresponding to the sensed inclination angle to the gauge measurement unit 50 .

The inclination angle of the measurement frame MF changes at the initial inclination angle depending on the state of the mounting surface such as the impact generated when the train travels or the surface where the train lines R1 and R2 are installed.

Therefore, as described above, when the measurement frame inclination angle sensing unit 31 senses the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF and transmits the inclination angle sensing signal corresponding to the sensed inclination angle to the gauge measurement unit 50, The microcomputer 50 determines the current inclination angle of the measurement frame MF and judges the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF when the measurement frame MF is judged to be inclined at the unpertaxed state (i.e., the initial state (inclination angle = 0) The actual gauge Drr is calculated by applying the inclination angle to the laser irradiation angles of the laser scanners 11 and 12. That is to say, the present gauge Drc is corrected to calculate the final gauge Drf .

The train position sensing unit 41 is a device that acquires position data of the current train, such as the longitude and latitude of the area where the train is located, and can use a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

GNSS means a navigation system capable of calculating the position of a train using a radio wave signal received from a satellite (not shown). A specific example of GNSS is a GPS (Global Positioning System), a Galileo, a GLONASS (Global Orbiting Navigational Satellite System), a COMPASS, an Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS), a Quasi-Zenith Satellite System .

The gauge measuring unit 50 measures the profile of each of the train lines R1 and R2 obtained by the operation of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 by using the triangulation method, Axis direction between the central portion of the measurement frame inclination angle sensing portion 31 and each measurement point P1 and P2 as shown in Fig. 4, and the second railway line intervals Pix1 and Pix2, Pix11 and Pix21, (Drr, Drc) between the two train lines (R1, R2) at that position by summing the two train line intervals Pix1, Pix2, Pix11 and Pix21 calculated after calculating the pixel trains (Pix1 and Pix2, Pix11 and Pix21) .

The storage unit 60 stores data required for operation of the gauge measuring apparatus, data generated during operation, a variation amount of the irradiation angle of the laser scanner 11, 12 depending on the degree of inclination of the measurement frame MF, (More precisely, a straight line distance in the X-axis direction between the center of the measurement frame inclination angle sensing portion 31 and the origin of each of the laser scanners 11 and 12) from the center of the laser scanner 11 (Hereinafter, referred to as "first and second laser scanner installation distances", respectively)) Ox1, Ox2, and the like are stored.

4, the measurement frame MF is inclined downward (-Z axis direction) so that the size of the laser irradiation angle [theta] 1 of the first laser scanner 11 is larger than the initial angle and the size of the second laser scanner 12 When the magnitude of the laser irradiation angle 2 is smaller than the initial angle, the angle of the measurement frame MF can have a negative value. On the other hand, when the measurement frame MF is in the upward direction (+ Z axis direction) When the size of the slant laser irradiation angle 1 of the first laser scanner 11 is smaller than the initial angle and the size of the laser irradiation angle 2 of the second laser scanner 12 is larger than the initial angle, Lt; / RTI > When the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF is 0 deg., It indicates that the measurement frame MF is not inclined and is horizontal with the installation surface of the train lines R1 and R2. In this example, when the measurement frame MF is initially installed, the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF is set to 0 deg.

In this example, when the measurement frame MF is horizontal to the installation surface, the installation angles of the first laser scanner 11 and the second laser scanner 12 are the same, and as already described, The first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 are installed so that the size of the initial installation angle is 64 degrees.

The output unit 70 outputs the photographed images of the train lines R1 and R2 photographed by the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12, gauges Drc and Drr measured by the gauging unit 50, The position of the train where the gauge is measured, the point where the gauge error occurs, the distance between the first and second train lines (Pix1, Pix2, Pix11, Pix21) and the corresponding gauges of the measured train line And outputs information related to the gauge measurement such as whether the point is normal or not.

The output unit 250 may include a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), or the like.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 as well as FIG. 4, the operation of the gauge measuring apparatus having such a structure will be described.

First, when a power supply unit (not shown) supplies power for operation of the gauge measuring apparatus, the operation of the gauge measuring apparatus is started, and the operation of the gauge measuring unit 50 is also started (S10).

When the operation of the gauge measuring unit 50 is started, the current first railway line interval Pix1 and the current second railway line interval Pix2 corresponding to 1/2 distance of the last gage Drf to be measured are calculated (S11, S12).

The method of calculating these two first and second railway line intervals Pix1 and Pix2 are the same as each other, and therefore, a method of obtaining the first railway line interval Pix1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

Therefore, the gauge measuring unit 50 at which the operation is started proceeds to a routine for calculating the current first train line spacing Pix1, reads the signal applied from the first laser scanner 11 (S111) The first line image IM1 obtained after obtaining the first line image IM1 for the first line image R1 is output to the output unit 70 at step S112.

At this time, if necessary, the gauge measuring unit 50 rotates the first line image IM1 obtained by the first laser scanner 11 in a desired direction (for example, by symmetrically rotating about the X axis) The display form of the first line image IM1 obtained by the first laser scanner 11 can be changed to a desired form.

6 shows an example of the first line image IM1 acquired by the first laser scanner 11 and displayed on the output unit 70. As shown in Fig. 6, the first laser scanner 11, The first line image IM1 obtained by the first rail line R1 is a profile of a part of the upper surface and a part of the inner side surface of the first rail line R1.

Next, the gauge measuring unit 50 determines the initial installation angle (i.e., the initial inclination angle) of the first laser scanner 11 using the data stored in the storage unit 60 (S113).

In this case, as described above, the initial installation angle size of the first laser scanner 11 may be 64 degrees.

When the initial installation angle of the first laser scanner 11 is determined as described above, an arbitrary first linear function graph G1 having the determined initial installation angle as a slope is calculated, The line image IM1 is displayed at a predetermined distance from the upper surface of the first line image M1 obtained above the portion where the line image IM1 is displayed (S114).

At this time, the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the first linear function graph G1 are not superimposed on the first line image IM1 and are located above the position where the first line image IM1 is displayed, And has a value such that the graph G1 is located.

The laser beam of the first laser scanner 11 is irradiated to the first train line R1 and reflected by the corresponding portion of the first train line R1 to generate the first line image IM1, The gage measuring unit 50 outputs the position information on the first line image IM1 applied from the first laser scanner 11 (that is, the position information on each pixel of the first line image IM1) And stores it in the storage unit 60. [

The gage measuring unit 50 calculates the linear function graph G1 using the position information of the first line image IM1 and the determined initial installation angle of the first laser scanner 11 and outputs the linear function graph G1 to the output unit 70 ).

Next, the gauge measuring unit 50 measures each point of the first linear image IM1 that faces each point of the first linear function graph G1 and each point of the first linear function graph G1 The point of the first line image having the shortest straight line distance having the smallest value among the calculated shortest straight line distances is calculated as the maximum point T1 of the first rail line R1, And stores the positional information (i.e., the pixel position in the row direction and the pixel position in the column direction) with respect to the highest point T1 in the storage unit 60 (S116).

When the highest point (e.g., the first highest point) T1 with respect to the first train line R1 is calculated, the gauge measuring unit 50 calculates the gauge from the first peak T1 to the first linear function G1 (G2) passing through the descending point T1 'after determining the descending point T1' which is a descending point by a set distance (for example, 14 mm) (S117).

The slope of the second linear function graph G2 is the same as the first linear function graph G1.

The gauge measuring unit 50 then calculates a point at which the first linear image IM1 meets the second linear function graph G2 with the measuring point P1 of the first train line R1 (S118).

To this end, the gauge measuring unit 50 compares the position information of the first line image IM1 with the position information existing on the second linear function graph G2 to obtain the first line image IM1 and the second line image IM2, After determining the intersection point where the difference function graph G2 meets, the position information on the intersection point is stored in the storage unit 60 as the position information of the first measurement point P1.

Next, the gauge measuring unit 50 measures the straight line distance between the first measuring point P1 and the first laser scanner 11 in the X-axis direction, more precisely, between the first measuring point P1 and the first laser scanner 11 And the distance Dx1 between the origin (i.e., the origin of the first laser scanner) Oc1 is calculated.

The gauge measuring unit 50 determines the position of the origin Oc1 of the first laser scanner S119 and then the gauge measuring unit 50 measures the position of the origin Oc1 of the first laser scanner IM1 using the position information of the first line image IM1, (Hereinafter referred to as " position of the first measurement point projection point Pc1 ") when it is incident on the irradiation surface of the first laser scanner 11 after being reflected by the first laser scanner P1 S120).

In this example, the first laser scanner origin Oc1 is defined as the value of the X axis coordinate of the highest point T1 of the first line image R1 obtained from the first laser scanner 11. [

Then, the gauge measuring unit 50 measures the straight line distance in the X-axis direction between the first laser scanner origin Oc1 and the first measurement point projection point Pc1 (hereinafter referred to as' the distance between the origin and the first measurement point projection point Quot; distance ") Do1.

The first laser scanner origin Oc1 and the first measurement point projection point Pc1 are aligned with the X axis of the first laser scanner 11 when the first laser scanner 11 is mounted on the mounting surface of the first rail line R1 without inclination. In the same direction.

The gage measuring unit 50 calculates the distance between the origin Oc1 and the first measurement point projection point Pc1 using the position information of the first laser scanner origin Oc1 and the position information of the first measurement point projection point Pc1 (Io1).

The angle between the side S1 formed by the first laser scanner origin Oc1 and the first measurement point projection point Pc1 and the angle? 3 formed by the origin Oc1 and the side S2 formed by the movement point Pcl ' The angle becomes (90 -? 1).

At this time, the movement point Pc1 'is a position change point of the first measurement point projection point Pc1 when the first laser scanner 11 is mounted perpendicular to the installation surface of the first railway line R1.

Accordingly, the gauge measuring unit 50 calculates the distance Do1 between the origin Oc1 and the first measurement point projection point using the following trigonometric function (S120).

Do1 = cos (90 - &thetas; 1) x lo1

Next, the gauge measuring unit 50 calculates the straight line distance in the X-axis direction between the first measurement point P1 and the first measurement point projection point Pc1 (hereinafter, this distance will be referred to as a 'first measurement point P1) and the first measurement point projection point (Pc1) '(S121).

Dt1 = cos? 1 占 It1

At this time, It1 is already calculated using the time of reflection after the laser is irradiated to the first measurement point P1 in the first laser scanner 11 and stored in the storage unit 60, The inclination angle? 1 is an initial inclination angle.

When these two distances Do1 and Dt1 are calculated as described above, the gauge measuring unit 50 calculates the distance between the first measuring point P1 and the origin Oc1 using the two distances Do1 and Dt1, Dl (= Dt1-Do1) (hereafter, this distance is referred to as a distance between the first measurement point P1 and the first laser scanner 11) (S122).

Then the gauge measuring unit 50 adds the first laser scanner installation distance Ox1 to the distance Dx1 between the first measurement point P1 and the first laser scanner 11 to calculate the current first railway line interval Pix1, And stores it in the storage unit 60 (S123).

When the current first railway line interval Pix1 is calculated as described above, the gauge measuring unit 50 moves back to FIG. 2 again to obtain the second measurement point P2 of the second railway line R2 in the same manner as described above The second laser line spacing Pix2 is calculated using the second laser scanner installation distance Ox2 or the like (S12).

That is, a second line image of the second rail line R2 is obtained using the second laser scanner 12, and a second line image of the second laser scanner 12 sensed by the second scanner tilt angle sensing unit 22 (T2) and the measurement point (P2) of the second train line (R2) by using the inclination angle and the positional information on the second line image.

Then, the distance between the origin of the second laser scanner 12 and the second measurement point corresponding to the second measurement point P2 is calculated, and the second measurement point P2 is calculated in the same manner as in the case of the first train line. (P2) and the second measurement point projection point by subtracting the distance between the second laser scanner origin point and the second measurement point projection point from the distance between the second measurement point (P2) and the second measurement point projection point, 2 < / RTI >

At this time, the origin of the first laser scanner necessary for the calculation operation is also defined as the value of the X axis coordinate of the highest point (T2) of the second line image R2 obtained by the second laser scanner 12. [

Then the distance between the second measurement point P2 and the second laser scanner 12 and the second laser scanner installation distance Ox2 stored in the storage unit 60 are added to calculate the second train line spacing Pix2 And stores it in the storage unit 60.

When the current first railway line interval Pix1 and the current second railway line interval Pix2 are calculated as described above, the gauge measuring unit 50 adds the two intervals Pix1 and Pix2 so that two trains at the current train line point The current gauge Drc which is the distance between the lines R1 and R2 is calculated and then the size of the calculated gauge Drc is stored in the storage unit 60 together with the position information of the current train in step S13.

At this time, the gauge measuring unit 50 reads the signal applied from the train position sensing unit 41 and determines the position information of the current train.

Next, the gauge measuring unit 50 performs an operation of adjusting the size of the current gauge Drc calculated using the degree of inclination of the measurement frame MF.

For example, when the laser irradiation angle of the laser scanners 11 and 12 is 26 degrees (that is, the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF is 0 degrees) in the initial state, the first train line spacing Pix1 and the second train The line spacing Pix2 is as follows.

Pix1 = Ox1 + (Dt1 - Do1) = Ox1 + (435xcos26-20xcos64) = Ox1 + 382.208

Pix2 = Ox2 + (Dt2 - Do2) = Ox2 + (435xcos26-20xcos64) = Ox2 + 382.208

When the installation condition of the actual measurement frame MF changes by 0.1 degrees, the laser irradiation angle of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 changes by +/- 0.1 degrees.

That is, when the laser irradiation angle is reduced to 25.9 °, the first train line spacing Pix1 and the second train line spacing Pix2 are respectively as follows.

Pix 1 = Ox 1 + (Dt 1 - Do 1) = Ox 1 + (435 x cos 25.9 - 20 x cos 64.9) = Ox 1 + 382.572

 Pix2 = Ox2 + (Dt2 - Do2) = Ox2 + (435xcos25.9-20xcos64.9) = Ox2 + 382.572.

Further, when the laser irradiation angle is increased to 26.1 DEG, the first train line spacing Pix1 and the second train line spacing Pix2 are as follows.

 Pix1 = Ox1 + (Dt1 - Do1) = Ox1 + (435xcos26.1-20xcos63.9) = Ox1 + 381.843

 Pix2 = Ox2 + (Dt2 - Do2) = Ox2 + (435xcos26.1-20xcos63.9) = Ox2 + 381.843

This means that an error of about 0.36 mm occurs in the train line spacing (Pix1, Pix2) when an initial angle of measurement of the measurement frame (MF) is 0.1 degree. The EN13848 standard requires the resolution of gauge measurement to be 0.5 mm and the measurement uncertainty to be ± 1 mm. It can be seen that it comes in EN13848 standard. When the angle is 0.2 degrees, the error of the gauge measurement can not be satisfied because the error is doubled. Therefore, the accuracy of angle measurement should be at least 0.1 °.

The following is the case where the measurement frame (MF) rotates 1 degree as the train travels at a high speed.

Accordingly, when the laser irradiation angle is 25 degrees, the first train line spacing Pix1 and the second train line spacing Pix2 are as follows.

Pix1 = Ox1 + (Dt1 - Do1) = Ox1 + (435xcos25-20xcos65) = Ox1 + 385.792

Pix2 = Ox2 + (Dt2 - Do2) = Ox2 + (435xcos25-20xcos65) = Ox2 + 385.792

When the laser irradiation angle is 27 degrees, the first train line spacing Pix1 and the second train line spacing Pix2 are as follows.

Pix1 = Ox1 + (Dt1 - Do1) = Ox1 + (435xcos27-20xcos63) = Ox1 + 378.508

Pix2 = Ox2 + (Dt2 - Do2) = Ox2 + (435xcos27-20xcos63) = Ox2 + 378.508

When the laser irradiation angle is changed by 1 占 from the calculation, the first and second train line intervals Pix1 and Pix2 are found to be 3.7 mm and + 3.584 mm, respectively.

If the irradiation angle of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 changes by 1 degree in the opposite direction due to the rotation of the measuring frame MF by 1 degree, the gauge will have an error of about 0.116 mm do.

Let's take a gauge measurement error when the measurement frame (MF) rotates up to 5 degrees

That is, when the laser irradiation angle is 21 degrees, the first train line spacing Pix1 and the second train line spacing Pix2 are as follows.

Pix 1 = Ox 1 + (Dt 1 - Do 1) = Ox 1 + (435 x cos 21 - 20 x cos 69) = Ox 1 + 398.940

Pix2 = Ox2 + (Dt2 - Do2) = Ox2 + (435xcos21-20xcos69) = Ox2 + 398.940

When the laser irradiation angle is 31 degrees, the first train line spacing Pix1 and the second train line spacing Pix2 are as follows.

Pix 1 = Ox 1 + (Dt 1 - Do 1) = Ox 1 + (435 x cos 31 - 20 x cos 59) = Ox 1 + 362.568

Pix2 = Ox2 + (Dt2 - Do2) = Ox2 + (435xcos31-20xcos59) = Ox2 + 362.568

When the measurement frame MF rotates 5 degrees, the gauge is changed by about -2.908 mm if the laser irradiation angle change is not compensated. The EN13848 standard requires the resolution of gauge measurement to be 0.5 mm and the measurement uncertainty to be ± 1 mm. Therefore, the change of the laser irradiation angle must be compensated in real time, and the accuracy of the angle measurement should be at least 0.1 degree.

In the above, Dt2 is the distance between the second measurement point P2 and the second measurement point projection point, and Do2 is the distance between the origin of the second laser scanner 12 (i.e., the origin of the second laser scanner) to be.

As described above, the present first train line spacing Pix1 and the current second train line spacing Pix2 are calculated on the basis of the laser irradiation angles of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12, and the first and second The laser irradiation angles of the laser scanners 11 and 12 vary according to the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF.

Therefore, even if the gauges of the two train lines R1 and R2 installed on the actual installation surface do not change, the first railway line interval Pix1 and the second railway line interval Pix2 are changed when the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF changes, The difference between the actual gauge and the calculated gauge occurs.

Therefore, since the calculated current gauge Drc may be different from the actual gauge, the actual gauge Drr must be calculated by re-calculating the gauge according to the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF.

To this end, the gauge measuring unit 50 measures the inclination angle of the measurement frame MF and the inclination direction (that is, (-) or (+)) by using the inclination angle sensing signal applied from the measurement frame inclination angle sensing unit 31 (Z-axis direction or + Z-axis direction), and determines whether the measurement frame MF is inclined (S14, S15).

If it is determined that the measured angle of inclination of the measurement frame MF is equal to the initial angle (S15), the gauge measuring unit 50 determines that the current state of the measurement frame MF is not inclined (S16). In this case, it is determined that the current gauge Drc is the same as the actual gauge calculated in step S16.

Then, the gauge measuring unit 50 determines the state of the gauge of the current point as a normal state, and outputs the determination result to the output unit 70 (S17, S18).

However, if the determined inclination angle of the measurement frame MF is different from the initial angle and the state of the current measurement frame MF is judged to be inclined (S15), the gauge measuring unit 50 measures The irradiation angle variation amounts of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 corresponding to the angles of the measurement frames MF determined in the data are read (S19).

Then, the actual laser irradiation angles of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 are calculated using the determined irradiation angle variation amount and the initial irradiation angles of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 (S20 ). For example, the actual laser irradiation angle of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 can be calculated by subtracting or adding a value by the irradiation angle variation amount determined at the initial irradiation angle.

In this example, the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 use the variation amounts of the irradiation angles of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12, which correspond to the angles of the measurement frame MF already stored in the storage unit 60, (11, 12).

Alternatively, in an alternative example, the gauge measuring unit 60 may measure the gyroscope of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 sensed by the operation of the first and second scanner tilt angle sensing units 21 and 22, It is possible to determine the laser irradiation angle corresponding to the tilt angle to be the actual laser irradiation angle of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12. [ In this case, the laser irradiation angles corresponding to the actual tilt angles of the sensed first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 are already stored in the storage unit 60.

When the laser irradiation angles corresponding to the actual tilt angles of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 are determined as described above, the gauge measuring unit 50 can detect the laser angles of the first and second laser scanners 11 and 12 in the same manner as already described with reference to FIG. 2 actual laser irradiation angles of the laser scanner 11 are applied to calculate the actual first railway line spacing Pix11 and the actual second railway line spacing Pix21 (S21, S22).

2, the actual laser irradiation angles of the laser scanners 11 and 12 are applied instead of applying the initial laser irradiation angles of the laser scanners 11 and 12, And calculates the second train line spacing Pix21. In this case, the steps (S111-S120) related to the highest points (T1, T2) and the measurement points (P1, P2) are omitted as necessary and only the steps substantially corresponding to the calculation operation of the train line intervals Pix11, S121 to S124), so that the calculation time of the actual first railway line interval Pix11 and the actual second railway line interval Pix21 can be further shortened.

Accordingly, when the actual first railway line interval Pix11 and the actual second railway line interval Pix21 are calculated, the gauge measuring unit adds the two train line intervals Pix11 and Pix21 to calculate the actual gauge Drr (S23 ).

Next, the difference between the current gauge Drc and the actual gauge Drr is calculated (S24), and it is determined whether the absolute value of the calculated gauge difference is within the set error range (S25).

If the absolute value of the calculated gauge difference is within the set error range (S25), the gauge measuring unit 50 stores the actual gauge Drr as the final gauge Drf (S26) And outputs a determination result to the output unit 70 (S27, S28).

However, if the absolute value of the calculated gauge difference deviates from the set error range (S25), the gauge measuring unit 50 generates an abnormal state such as warpage or disconnection of the train line at the point where the gauges Drc and Drr are calculated It is determined that the gauge state at the corresponding point is in an abnormal state, for example, a state in which the gauge suddenly changes greatly.

Therefore, if the absolute value of the calculated gauge difference deviates from the set error range (S25), the gauge measuring unit 50 determines the gauge state of the corresponding point as an abnormal state, stores the determination result in the storage unit 60 (S29), and outputs the determination result to the output unit 70 (S30).

In this example, the information output to the output unit 70 includes information on the state of the gauge of the corresponding point (i.e., a normal state or an abnormal state), position information of the corresponding point, 2 train line intervals Pix1, Pix2, Pix11, Pix21, current gauge Drc, actual gauge Drr, final gauge Drf, etc.).

The position information of the corresponding point is determined using the position information outputted from the train position sensing unit 41. [

Therefore, the manager uses the determination result outputted to the output unit 70 to determine the size of the correct gauge of the corresponding point, the gauge state, the amount of change of the gauge and the like, and checks the line for the corresponding point where the gauge state is abnormal . This makes it possible to quickly and accurately check the condition of the railway track, thereby preventing accidents such as derailment of trains.

As described above, in this embodiment, the measuring frame MF is provided with the measuring frame inclination angle sensing portion 31 to detect the inclination degree of the measuring frame MF quickly and accurately, and according to the degree of inclination of the measured measuring frame MF Since the size of the measured gauge is corrected, an accurate gauge measurement according to the EN standard is made.

In this example, the measurement frame inclination angle sensing unit 31 is capable of measuring angles at 1,000 Hz, and the angular accuracy is measurable at 0.005 degrees or less.
