Description

この発明は、中間信号制御装置の模擬装置およびその模擬装置を用いた中間信号制御装置の更新方法に関する。
鉄道分野で用いられる信号保安装置の具体例として信号機や，転てつ機，連動装置，中間信号制御装置などが挙げられるが、そのうち信号機や転てつ機は軌道に付設されるのに対し、連動装置や中間信号制御装置は機器室の中に設置される。
機器室は、大抵、駅のうちでも軌道に分岐器や転てつ機の付いている比較的大きな駅に設けられ、軌道に分岐器や転てつ機の付いていない比較的小さな駅には設けられない。
連動装置も中間信号制御装置も軌道回路や他の信号保安装置から列車進入可否に係る情報を入力して信号機の点灯／滅灯に係る制御を行うが、連動装置は信号機に加えて電気転てつ機も制御するのに対し、中間信号制御装置は電気転てつ機の制御を行わない。
本発明の模擬装置および更新方法は、信号機の追加や入替といった信号機更新に伴う中間信号制御装置の更新に役立つものである。 The present invention relates to a simulation apparatus for an intermediate signal control apparatus and a method for updating the intermediate signal control apparatus using the simulation apparatus.
Specific examples of signal security devices used in the railway field include traffic lights, switchboards, interlocking devices, and intermediate signal control devices. Among them, traffic lights and switchboards are attached to tracks, The interlocking device and the intermediate signal control device are installed in the equipment room.
Equipment rooms are usually set up in relatively large stations with a turnout or switch on the track, and relatively small stations without a turnout or switch on the track. It is not provided.
Both the interlocking device and the intermediate signal control device perform control related to lighting / extinguishing of the traffic light by inputting information on whether or not the train can enter from the track circuit and other signal security devices, but the interlocking device is electrically switched in addition to the traffic light. The intermediate signal control device does not control the electric switch, whereas the intermediate signal control device controls the switch.
The simulation device and the updating method of the present invention are useful for updating the intermediate signal control device accompanying signal updating such as addition or replacement of signals.

先ず、従来の中間信号制御装置２０の具体的な構成を、図面を引用して説明する。図３は、（ａ）が既設の軌道１０に沿った信号機配置の概要図、（ｂ）が信号制御システムの概要図、（ｃ）が中間信号制御装置２０の概要ブロック図、（ｄ）が中間信号制御装置２０等の構成図である。   First, a specific configuration of the conventional intermediate signal control device 20 will be described with reference to the drawings. 3A is a schematic diagram of the traffic signal arrangement along the existing track 10, FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram of the signal control system, FIG. 3C is a schematic block diagram of the intermediate signal control device 20, and FIG. It is a block diagram of intermediate signal control device 20 grade.

軌道１０は（図３（ａ）参照）、例えばＡ駅とＢ駅とＣ駅とをその順に繋ぐ既存の軌道であり、その軌道１０には、分岐器を作動させる電気転てつ機１１や、三個や五個など適宜個数の信号灯１２を装備した信号機が付設されている。信号機は、駅の大小や分岐器の有無にかかわらず、列車有無の検出単位である軌道回路の区間（例えば特許文献１参照）などの適宜な区間毎に設置されている。これに対し、電気転てつ機１１は、Ａ駅やＣ駅の付近に存在する分岐器のところには設置されているが（図ではＡ駅を含む範囲ＡやＣ駅を含む範囲Ｃを参照）、分岐器の存在しないＢ駅やその近くには設置されていない（図ではＢ駅からＡ駅寄りの範囲ＢａやＢ駅からＣ駅寄りの範囲Ｂｃを参照）。また、比較的大きなＡ駅やＣ駅には機器室が設けられるが、それらの中間に位置する小さなＢ駅には機器室が設けられない。   The track 10 (see FIG. 3A) is, for example, an existing track that connects the A station, the B station, and the C station in that order. The track 10 includes an electric switch 11 that operates the branching device, A traffic light equipped with an appropriate number of signal lights 12, such as three or five, is attached. A traffic light is installed in each appropriate section such as a section of a track circuit (see, for example, Patent Document 1), which is a unit for detecting the presence or absence of a train, regardless of the size of the station or the presence or absence of a branching device. On the other hand, although the electric switch 11 is installed in the place of the branching device which exists in the vicinity of A station and C station (in the figure, range A including A station and range C including C station are shown. (Refer to FIG. 4), and it is not installed at or near station B where there is no branching device (see the range Ba from station B to station A and the range Bc from station B to station C). Moreover, although the equipment room is provided in relatively large A station and C station, an equipment room is not provided in the small B station located in the middle.

Ａ駅の機器室１４には（図３（ｂ）参照）、Ａ駅中心の範囲Ａに属する幾つかの電気転てつ機１１と多数の信号灯１２とを制御する連動装置１５が設置されるとともに、Ａ駅寄りの範囲Ｂａに属する多数の信号灯１２を制御する中間信号制御装置２０も設置される。図示は割愛したが、Ｃ駅の機器室には、範囲Ｃ用の連動装置と、範囲Ｂｃ用の中間信号制御装置とが、設置される。
中間信号制御装置２０は（図３（ｂ）参照）、室外ケーブル１３にて範囲Ｂａの信号灯１２と接続され、室外ケーブル１３を介して信号灯１２に制御信号を送出するようになっている。室外ケーブル１３は、少なくとも一対の電線を含んでいて、大抵、一つの信号灯１２に一本ずつ敷設され、機器室１４から信号灯１２までの距離に対応して長いものでは長さが３ｋｍや４ｋｍに達する。 In the equipment room 14 of the station A (see FIG. 3B), an interlocking device 15 that controls several electric switch machines 11 and a number of signal lights 12 belonging to the range A in the center of the station A is installed. At the same time, an intermediate signal control device 20 for controlling a number of signal lights 12 belonging to the range Ba near the A station is also installed. Although illustration is omitted, an interlocking device for range C and an intermediate signal control device for range Bc are installed in the equipment room at station C.
The intermediate signal control device 20 (see FIG. 3B) is connected to the signal lamp 12 in the range Ba by the outdoor cable 13 and sends a control signal to the signal lamp 12 through the outdoor cable 13. The outdoor cable 13 includes at least a pair of electric wires, and is usually laid one by one on one signal lamp 12, and the length corresponding to the distance from the equipment room 14 to the signal lamp 12 is 3 km or 4 km. Reach.

また、中間信号制御装置２０は（図３（ｃ）参照）、機器室１４の中で、駅装置の主架に相当する電子端末架３０と、入出力結合架に相当する機器架４０とに、分けて設置される。電子端末架３０搭載部分と機器架４０搭載部分とは、電子端末架３０側コネクタ２３と機器架４０側コネクタとを具えた室内ケーブル２２にて接続され、機器架４０搭載部分は、他の室内ケーブルと配電盤２８と上記の室外ケーブル１３を介して、遠隔の信号灯１２に接続されている。また、中間信号制御装置２０は、図示は割愛したが、機器室１４の連動装置１５や軌道１０の軌道回路から列車進入可否に係る情報を随時入力するようになっている他、上位の信号論理架から必要に応じてプログラムをダウンロードするようにもなっている。   Further, the intermediate signal control device 20 (see FIG. 3C) includes an electronic terminal rack 30 corresponding to the main frame of the station device and an equipment rack 40 corresponding to the input / output coupling rack in the equipment room 14. Are installed separately. The electronic terminal rack 30 mounting portion and the equipment rack 40 mounting portion are connected by an indoor cable 22 including the electronic terminal rack 30 side connector 23 and the equipment rack 40 side connector. The cable is connected to the remote signal lamp 12 via the switchboard 28 and the outdoor cable 13 described above. Although the intermediate signal control device 20 is omitted from the illustration, the intermediate signal control device 20 receives information on whether or not the train can be entered from the interlocking device 15 in the equipment room 14 or the track circuit of the track 10 as needed. Programs are downloaded from the rack as needed.

さらに、中間信号制御装置２０は（図３（ｄ）参照）、一つの制御部３１と複数の信号灯制御ユニット３２と一つのトランス４２と複数のトランス４３とを具えているが、そのうち制御部３１と信号灯制御ユニット３２は電子端末架３０に搭載され、トランス４２，トランス４３は機器架４０に搭載されている。
制御部３１は、プログラマブルなマイクロプロセッサやデジタルシグナルプロセッサ等からなり、列車進入可否に係る情報に基づいて信号灯１２の制御信号の元の二値論理信号を生成するようになっている。 Further, the intermediate signal control device 20 (see FIG. 3D) includes one control unit 31, a plurality of signal lamp control units 32, one transformer 42, and a plurality of transformers 43, of which the control unit 31 is included. The signal lamp control unit 32 is mounted on the electronic terminal rack 30, and the transformer 42 and the transformer 43 are mounted on the equipment rack 40.
The control part 31 consists of a programmable microprocessor, a digital signal processor, etc., and produces | generates the original binary logic signal of the control signal of the signal light 12 based on the information which concerns on whether train approach is possible.

信号灯制御ユニット３２は、例えばＤＣ１２Ｖの二値論理信号から例えばＡＣ１００Ｖの制御信号を生成するために、制御部３１から受けた二値論理信号に応じてオンオフするソリッドステートリレーＳＳＲを具えているが、この例では耐圧確保等のためソリッドステートリレーＳＳＲが二段接続されており、オン状態では室内ケーブル２２のパワーラインＰと室内ケーブル２２のシグナルラインＳのうち該当するものとを短絡させることにより制御信号の電圧値をＡＣ１００Ｖにし、オフ状態では両ラインＰ，Ｓを遮断することによって制御信号の電圧値を０Ｖにする。このような信号灯制御ユニット３２には、制御信号の電圧値を検出する電圧検出計Ｖと、制御信号の電流値を検出する電流検出計Ｉも、設けられている。パワーラインＰから該当シグナルラインＳへ至るラインに対して電圧検出計Ｖは並列接続されるので電圧降下を生じないが、電流検出計ＩとソリッドステートリレーＳＳＲは直列に介挿接続されるので多少の電圧降下を生じるものとなっている。なお、室内ケーブル２２の該当シグナルラインＳと共通のコモンラインＭとに接続されるサージアブソーバや抵抗なども必要に応じて信号灯制御ユニット３２に組み込まれる。   The signal light control unit 32 includes a solid state relay SSR that is turned on / off in response to a binary logic signal received from the control unit 31 to generate, for example, a control signal of AC100V from a binary logic signal of DC12V. In this example, the solid-state relay SSR is connected in two stages to ensure withstand voltage, and in the on state, the power line P of the indoor cable 22 and the corresponding signal line S of the indoor cable 22 are short-circuited. The voltage value of the signal is set to 100 V AC, and in the off state, the voltage value of the control signal is set to 0 V by cutting off both lines P and S. Such a signal lamp control unit 32 is also provided with a voltage detector V for detecting the voltage value of the control signal and a current detector I for detecting the current value of the control signal. Since the voltage detector V is connected in parallel to the line from the power line P to the corresponding signal line S, no voltage drop occurs. However, since the current detector I and the solid state relay SSR are connected in series, a little. Voltage drop. A surge absorber, a resistor, and the like connected to the corresponding signal line S and the common line M of the indoor cable 22 are also incorporated in the signal lamp control unit 32 as necessary.

トランス４２は、交流の電源４１から制御信号生成用の交流たとえばＡＣ１１０Ｖを生成して、それを室内ケーブル２２のパワーラインＰ経由で信号灯制御ユニット３２に供給するものである。
トランス４３は、室内ケーブル２２のシグナルラインＳにて信号灯制御ユニット３２と一対一で接続され、該当シグナルラインＳを介して受けた制御信号を配電盤２８と室外ケーブル１３を介して信号灯１２に送出するものである。
トランス４２もトランス４３も、電圧調整可能な絶縁トランスからなり、例えばタップ選択にて一次側と二次側との電圧比を或る程度なら変更できるようになっている。
なお、信号灯１２はＬＥＤ信号を図示したが電球のものも多い。 The transformer 42 generates AC 110V for generating a control signal from the AC power source 41 and supplies it to the signal lamp control unit 32 via the power line P of the indoor cable 22.
The transformer 43 is connected to the signal lamp control unit 32 on the signal line S of the indoor cable 22 on a one-to-one basis, and sends the control signal received via the signal line S to the signal lamp 12 via the switchboard 28 and the outdoor cable 13. Is.
Both the transformer 42 and the transformer 43 are made of an insulating transformer whose voltage can be adjusted. For example, the voltage ratio between the primary side and the secondary side can be changed to some extent by tap selection.
In addition, although the signal light 12 illustrated the LED signal, there are many things of a light bulb.

このような中間信号制御装置２０にあっては、実稼動に先立ち、トランス４２，４３について一つずつ電圧調整が行われる。上述のように室外ケーブル１３が長くなりがちで、それによる電圧降下がケーブル毎に異なるうえ例えば１５Ｖや２０Ｖと過大になることもしばしばであり、それをトランス４３の電圧調整で補償することが必要なためである。
トランス４３の電圧調整は、信号灯１２の印加電圧を作業者が計測して別の作業者に連絡し、連絡を受けた作業者が該当トランス４３のタップ調整を行う、といった手順で遂行される。そのため、信号灯１２の個数が多いと手間が掛かる。 In such an intermediate signal control device 20, voltage adjustment is performed one by one for the transformers 42 and 43 prior to actual operation. As described above, the outdoor cable 13 tends to be long, and the resulting voltage drop varies from cable to cable, and is often excessive, for example, 15 V or 20 V. It is necessary to compensate for this by adjusting the voltage of the transformer 43. This is because of this.
The voltage adjustment of the transformer 43 is performed by a procedure in which an operator measures the voltage applied to the signal lamp 12 and contacts another worker, and the worker who receives the contact adjusts the tap of the transformer 43. Therefore, it takes time and effort when the number of the signal lights 12 is large.

調整が済んで確認試験が開始されると、中間信号制御装置２０では、制御部３１のプログラム実行によって、範囲Ｂａに属する軌道回路や，その近くの軌道回路，機器室１４の連動装置１５，範囲Ｂａに設置されたＡＴＳＰ地上子などから列車進入可否情報が収集され、その情報に基づき点灯か滅灯かの二値論理信号が生成されて信号灯制御ユニット３２に送出される。また、信号灯制御ユニット３２によって、二値論理信号に応じた制御信号が生成され、これが点灯であれば例えばＡＣ１００Ｖの信号となってトランス４３と配電盤２８と室外ケーブル１３を介して信号灯１２に印加される。その際、室外ケーブル１３での電圧降下が該当トランス４３によって補償されることから、何れの信号灯１２も、点灯時には、設計に叶った適切な電圧たとえばＡＣ１００Ｖの制御信号によって駆動されるので、規定に適った適切な光度で点灯する。
こうして確認試験が済んだら実稼動が開始される。 When the adjustment test is completed and the confirmation test is started, the intermediate signal control device 20 executes the program of the control unit 31 so that the track circuit belonging to the range Ba, the track circuit nearby, the interlocking device 15 of the device room 14, the range Train entry permission / inhibition information is collected from an ATSP ground unit or the like installed in Ba, and a binary logic signal of lighting or extinction is generated based on the information and sent to the signal light control unit 32. Also, a control signal corresponding to the binary logic signal is generated by the signal lamp control unit 32. If this signal is lit, it becomes an AC 100V signal, for example, and is applied to the signal lamp 12 via the transformer 43, the switchboard 28 and the outdoor cable 13. The At that time, since the voltage drop in the outdoor cable 13 is compensated by the corresponding transformer 43, any signal lamp 12 is driven by a control signal of an appropriate voltage, for example, AC100V, which is suitable for the design at the time of lighting. Turn on at the appropriate light intensity.
When the confirmation test is completed in this way, actual operation is started.

次に、信号機更新に伴う中間信号制御装置２０の更新方法を説明する。中間信号制御装置２０の更新に先立って機器室１４に別の中間信号制御装置や切換スイッチ専用架を追加設置できる場合は公知の手法で良いが（例えば特許文献２参照）、それが叶わないことも多く、この場合に機器室１４の既設電子端末架３０や既設機器架４０の内部の拡張余地を利用して行われている従来の更新方法について、図面を引用して説明する。図４は、（ａ）が既設の軌道１０と新設の軌道５０とに沿った信号機配置の概要図、（ｂ）が中間信号制御装置２０の既設部分と中間信号制御装置更新部分６０等の構成図である。   Next, an update method of the intermediate signal control device 20 accompanying the traffic signal update will be described. If another intermediate signal control device or a dedicated switch for the changeover switch can be additionally installed in the equipment room 14 prior to the update of the intermediate signal control device 20, a known method may be used (for example, see Patent Document 2), but this does not come true. In this case, a conventional update method that is performed using the expansion space inside the existing electronic terminal rack 30 and the existing apparatus rack 40 in the device room 14 will be described with reference to the drawings. 4A is a schematic diagram of the traffic signal arrangement along the existing track 10 and the new track 50, and FIG. 4B is a configuration of the existing portion of the intermediate signal control device 20, the intermediate signal control device update portion 60, and the like. FIG.

例えばＢ駅のところの軌道１０を新たな軌道５０に変更する場合（図４（ａ）参照）、暫くは既設の軌道１０で列車運行を継続しながら、軌道５０を並設するとともに、適宜個数の信号灯５１を装備した信号機を軌道５０に沿って適宜な区間毎に設置する。なお、信号灯５１は信号灯１２と同じで良いが既存品と区別するため別の符号を付している。
また（図４（ｂ）参照）、信号灯５１のうちＡ駅寄りの範囲Ｄａに属するものを中間信号制御装置２０で制御するため、中間信号制御装置２０に中間信号制御装置更新部分６０を増設する。繰り返しとなる説明は割愛するが、範囲Ｄｃの信号灯５１についても同様にＣ駅の機器室に中間信号制御装置更新部分が増設される。 For example, when the track 10 at the station B is changed to a new track 50 (see FIG. 4 (a)), while the train operation is continued on the existing track 10 for a while, the tracks 50 are arranged side by side and the number of the tracks 10 is appropriately set. A traffic light equipped with the signal light 51 is installed in each appropriate section along the track 50. Note that the signal lamp 51 may be the same as the signal lamp 12, but a different reference numeral is attached to distinguish it from existing products.
Moreover, in order to control the signal light 51 belonging to the range Da near the station A among the signal lights 51 by the intermediate signal control device 20, an intermediate signal control device update portion 60 is added to the intermediate signal control device 20. . Although the repeated explanation is omitted, the intermediate signal control device update part is similarly added to the equipment room of the C station for the signal lamp 51 in the range Dc.

中間信号制御装置更新部分６０は、信号灯制御ユニット３２と同じ信号灯制御ユニット６１と、室内ケーブル２２と同様にコネクタ６３，６４の付いた室内ケーブル６２と、電源４１やトランス４２と同じ電源６５やトランス６６と、トランス４３と同じトランス６７と、配電盤２８と同様の配電盤６８とからなる。信号灯制御ユニット６１とトランス６７の組は信号灯５１と同数だけ追加されるが、交流電源６５やトランス６６はトランス４２や交流電源４１の流用も可能である。
このような中間信号制御装置更新部分６０は、新たな架に設置されるのでなく、電子端末架３０と機器架４０とに分けて設置される。 The intermediate signal control device update portion 60 includes a signal light control unit 61 that is the same as the signal light control unit 32, an indoor cable 62 with connectors 63 and 64, similar to the indoor cable 22, and a power supply 65 and a transformer that are the same as the power supply 41 and the transformer 42. 66, the same transformer 67 as the transformer 43, and a switchboard 68 similar to the switchboard 28. The number of sets of the signal lamp control unit 61 and the transformer 67 is the same as that of the signal lamp 51, but the AC power supply 65 and the transformer 66 can be diverted from the transformer 42 and the AC power supply 41.
Such an intermediate signal control device update portion 60 is not installed on a new rack, but is divided into an electronic terminal rack 30 and an equipment rack 40.

具体的には、電子端末架３０のうち拡張用に確保されていた空き部分に信号灯制御ユニット６１が設置され、機器架４０のうち拡張用に確保されていた空き部分にトランス６６，６７が設置される。そして、信号灯制御ユニット６１と室内ケーブル６２とトランス６６，６７と配電盤６８とが、上述した信号灯制御ユニット３２と室内ケーブル２２とトランス４２，４３と配電盤２８と同様に、接続される。
さらに、各信号灯５１と配電盤６８とが室外ケーブル１３同様の室外ケーブル５２で接続されて、信号灯制御ユニット６１とトランス６７と信号灯５１とが一つずつ組になる。その他、軌道５０の軌道回路から列車進入可否に係る情報を入力する拡張もなされる。 Specifically, the signal light control unit 61 is installed in an empty part of the electronic terminal rack 30 reserved for expansion, and the transformers 66 and 67 are installed in the empty part of the equipment rack 40 reserved for expansion. Is done. Then, the signal lamp control unit 61, the indoor cable 62, the transformers 66 and 67, and the switchboard 68 are connected in the same manner as the signal lamp control unit 32, the indoor cable 22, the transformers 42 and 43, and the switchboard 28 described above.
Furthermore, each signal lamp 51 and the switchboard 68 are connected by an outdoor cable 52 similar to the outdoor cable 13, and the signal lamp control unit 61, the transformer 67, and the signal lamp 51 are paired one by one. In addition, an extension for inputting information on whether or not a train can enter the track circuit of the track 50 is also made.

各部の設置と接続が済むと、中間信号制御装置更新部分６０についても、トランス６６，６７について一つずつ上述の電圧調整が行われるが、その際、制御部３１に信号現示試験プログラムが例えばダウンロードにてインストールされる。
一方、軌道１０で列車が運行されている間は、信号灯制御ユニット３２の制御プログラムを制御部３１にインストールしておかなければならない。
そのため、中間信号制御装置更新部分６０のトランスに係る電圧調整の作業は、中間信号制御装置更新部分６０が列車運行の未だない軌道５０の信号灯５１を制御するものであっても、既設の軌道１０で列車運行のない夜間などに限って、行われていた。 After the installation and connection of each part is completed, the above-mentioned voltage adjustment is performed one by one for the transformers 66 and 67 in the intermediate signal control device update part 60. At that time, a signal display test program is stored in the control part 31, for example Installed by download.
On the other hand, while the train is operating on the track 10, the control program for the signal light control unit 32 must be installed in the control unit 31.
Therefore, the voltage adjustment work for the transformer of the intermediate signal control device update portion 60 is performed even if the intermediate signal control device update portion 60 controls the signal light 51 of the track 50 where the train operation is not yet performed. It was only performed at night when there was no train operation.

しかしながら、このような従来の中間信号制御装置の更新方法では、既設軌道での列車運行停止時間が短いと、中間信号制御装置更新部分の電圧調整が捗らないため、確認試験の開始が不所望に待たされてしまう。
これに対しては、中間信号制御装置更新部分の電圧調整が既設軌道での列車運行と並行して行えるよう、中間信号制御装置の模擬装置を導入することが考えられるが、それには、電圧調整に適う模擬信号を生成することが要請されるうえ、新たな架を専用に割り当てなくても済むようコンパクト実装に叶うことも要請される。
そこで、中間信号制御装置更新部分の電圧調整に好適で而もコンパクトな模擬装置を実現することが技術的な課題となる。
また、その模擬装置を用いることによって電圧調整が何時でも行える中間信号制御装置の更新方法を実現することも更なる課題となる。 However, in such a conventional method for updating the intermediate signal control device, if the train operation stop time on the existing track is short, the voltage adjustment of the intermediate signal control device update portion does not progress, so the start of the confirmation test is undesirable. I'll be waiting.
For this, it is conceivable to introduce a simulation device for the intermediate signal control device so that the voltage adjustment of the updated portion of the intermediate signal control device can be performed in parallel with the train operation on the existing track. It is also required to generate a simulation signal that meets the requirements of a compact packaging so that a new rack need not be allocated exclusively.
Therefore, it is a technical problem to realize a very compact simulator suitable for voltage adjustment of the intermediate signal control device update part.
It is a further problem to realize a method for updating an intermediate signal control device that can perform voltage adjustment at any time by using the simulation device.

本発明に係る中間信号制御装置の模擬装置は（解決手段１）、上記の技術課題を解決するために創案されたものであり、鉄道用の信号機に加え電気転てつ機も制御する連動装置と同じ機器室に設置されて信号機は制御するが電気転てつ機は制御しない中間信号制御装置が電子端末架搭載部分の信号灯制御ユニットで生成してそこから室内ケーブルにて機器架搭載部分の電圧調整可能なトランスへ送出する制御信号に似せた模擬信号を生成する中間信号制御装置の模擬装置であって、前記模擬信号の採りうる二値状態のうち何れか一方を手動で設定する操作スイッチと、前記制御信号に係る前記信号灯制御ユニットでの電圧降下と等価な電圧降下を前記模擬信号に生じさせる電圧降下模擬回路とを備えたことを特徴とする。   The intermediate signal control device simulation device according to the present invention (Solution 1) was devised to solve the above technical problem, and is an interlocking device that controls an electric switch in addition to a railway traffic signal. Is installed in the same equipment room and controls the traffic light but does not control the electrical switch. An intermediate signal control device is generated by the signal lamp control unit of the electronic terminal rack mounting part, and from there the indoor cable of the equipment rack mounting part An operation switch for manually setting one of binary states that can be taken by the simulation signal, which is a simulation device for an intermediate signal control device that generates a simulation signal resembling a control signal sent to a voltage adjustable transformer And a voltage drop simulation circuit for causing the simulated signal to generate a voltage drop equivalent to a voltage drop in the signal lamp control unit related to the control signal.

また、本発明に係る中間信号制御装置の模擬装置は（解決手段２）、上記解決手段１の模擬装置であって、前記信号灯制御ユニットがソリッドステートリレーにて前記制御信号の電圧値を切り替えるとともに電流検出計にて前記制御信号の電流値を検出するものであることに対応して、前記電圧降下模擬回路が、前記ソリッドステートリレーの順方向電圧降下を模擬する模擬ダイオードと、前記電流検出計の抵抗と等価な模擬抵抗とを具備していることを特徴とする。   Moreover, the simulation apparatus for the intermediate signal control apparatus according to the present invention is (simulation means 2), the simulation apparatus of the resolution means 1, wherein the signal light control unit switches the voltage value of the control signal with a solid state relay. Corresponding to the fact that the current value of the control signal is detected by a current detector, the voltage drop simulation circuit includes a simulation diode that simulates a forward voltage drop of the solid state relay, and the current detector And a simulated resistance equivalent to the above resistance.

さらに、本発明に係る中間信号制御装置の更新方法は（解決手段３）、上記解決手段１，２のうち何れかの模擬装置を用いる更新方法であって、具体的には、軌道に付設された鉄道用の信号機を更新するに際して前記信号機の制御を担う中間信号制御装置も更新する中間信号制御装置の更新方法において、前記信号機のうち新規設置分と前記中間信号制御装置のうち機器架搭載部分の電圧調整可能なトランスとを室外ケーブルにて接続するとともに、上記解決手段の模擬装置と前記トランスとを室内ケーブルにて接続して、前記模擬装置から前記トランスを介して前記の新規設置分の信号機へ模擬信号を送出しながら前記トランスに係る電圧調整を行うことを特徴とする。   Further, the intermediate signal control device updating method according to the present invention (solving means 3) is an updating method using any one of the above-described solving means 1 and 2, and specifically, is attached to the track. In the update method of the intermediate signal control device that also updates the intermediate signal control device that controls the signal device when updating the traffic signal for the railway, the newly installed portion of the signal device and the equipment mounting portion of the intermediate signal control device A voltage-adjustable transformer with an outdoor cable, and the simulator of the solution and the transformer are connected with an indoor cable, and the newly installed part is connected to the newly installed unit from the simulator via the transformer. The voltage adjustment concerning the said transformer is performed, sending a simulation signal to a traffic light.

また、本発明に係る中間信号制御装置の更新方法は（解決手段４）、上記解決手段３の更新方法であって、前記中間信号制御装置のうち電子端末架搭載部分の信号灯制御ユニットに係る設備更新を前記電圧調整に先行して又は並行して行うことを特徴とする。   Moreover, the update method of the intermediate signal control apparatus according to the present invention is (solution 4), and is an update method of the above-described solution 3, and is an equipment related to the signal lamp control unit of the electronic terminal rack mounting portion of the intermediate signal control apparatus. The updating is performed prior to or in parallel with the voltage adjustment.

このような本発明に係る中間信号制御装置の模擬装置にあっては（解決手段１）、操作スイッチを手動操作することで模擬信号の値を所望の値に切り替えることができるうえ、電圧降下模擬回路を具備したことによって、模擬信号の電圧降下が信号灯制御ユニットでの電圧降下と等価なものにされることから、制御信号の代わりに模擬信号を使用して中間信号制御装置更新部分の電圧調整を行ってから本来の制御信号を使用しても再調整が要らないので、電圧調整に適う模擬信号が生成される。しかも、模擬信号の電圧降下を担う電圧降下模擬回路は、電圧降下機能さえ果たせば良いので、小形化が容易である。
したがって、この発明によれば、中間信号制御装置更新部分の電圧調整に好適で而もコンパクトな模擬装置を実現することができる。 In such a simulation apparatus for an intermediate signal control apparatus according to the present invention (solution 1), the value of the simulation signal can be switched to a desired value by manually operating the operation switch, and the voltage drop simulation is performed. Since the voltage drop of the simulated signal is equivalent to the voltage drop in the signal lamp control unit by having the circuit, the simulated signal is used instead of the control signal, and the voltage adjustment of the update part of the intermediate signal controller is performed. Since the readjustment is not required even after the original control signal is used, a simulation signal suitable for voltage adjustment is generated. In addition, the voltage drop simulation circuit responsible for the voltage drop of the simulation signal only needs to perform the voltage drop function, and can be easily miniaturized.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a very compact simulation device that is suitable for voltage adjustment of the intermediate signal control device update portion.

また、本発明に係る中間信号制御装置の模擬装置にあっては（解決手段２）、電圧降下模擬回路の具現化に際して、ソリッドステートリレーより小さいダイオードや、電流検出計より小さい抵抗が採用されているので、電圧降下模擬回路が確実に小形化される。
したがって、この発明によれば、中間信号制御装置更新部分の電圧調整に好適で而もコンパクトな模擬装置を確実に実現することができる。 In the simulation apparatus for the intermediate signal control apparatus according to the present invention (solution 2), a diode smaller than the solid state relay or a resistor smaller than the current detector is adopted when the voltage drop simulation circuit is realized. Therefore, the voltage drop simulation circuit can be surely downsized.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably realize a very compact simulation device suitable for voltage adjustment of the intermediate signal control device update portion.

さらに、本発明に係る中間信号制御装置の更新方法にあっては（解決手段３）、中間信号制御装置更新部分のうちの機器架搭載部分から新たな信号灯までの接続を済ませたら、機器架搭載部分のトランスに上記の模擬装置を仮接続して模擬装置から模擬信号を送出しながらトランスに係る電圧調整が行われる。
このように上記解決手段の模擬装置を用いてトランスの電圧調整が行われるようにしたことにより、中間信号制御装置更新部分のうち信号灯制御ユニットが電子端末架に搭載されていようといまいと何時でも、さらには中間信号制御装置の既設部分が実稼動していようといまいと何時でも、中間信号制御装置更新部分の電圧調整を行うことができる。
したがって、この発明によれば、上記模擬装置を用いることによって電圧調整が何時でも行える中間信号制御装置の更新方法を実現することができる。 Furthermore, in the method for updating the intermediate signal control device according to the present invention (solution 3), when the connection from the device rack mounting portion to the new signal lamp in the intermediate signal control device update portion is completed, the device rack mounting is completed. The voltage is applied to the transformer while temporarily simulating the above-described simulation device to a partial transformer and sending a simulation signal from the simulation device.
Thus, by adjusting the voltage of the transformer using the simulation device of the above solution, the signal light control unit of the updated part of the intermediate signal control device is always mounted regardless of whether it is mounted on the electronic terminal rack. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the voltage of the updated portion of the intermediate signal control device at any time whether or not the existing portion of the intermediate signal control device is actually in operation.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a method for updating an intermediate signal control device that can perform voltage adjustment at any time by using the simulation device.

また、本発明に係る中間信号制御装置の更新方法にあっては（解決手段４）、中間信号制御装置のうち電子端末架搭載部分の信号灯制御ユニットに係る設備更新が電圧調整より先に又は同時に行われるため、電圧調整が済めば直ちに確認試験に移行することができるので、実稼動までの時間が大幅に短縮される。   Further, in the method for updating the intermediate signal control device according to the present invention (solution 4), the equipment update related to the signal light control unit of the electronic terminal rack mounting portion of the intermediate signal control device is performed prior to or simultaneously with the voltage adjustment. Therefore, it is possible to immediately proceed to a confirmation test after voltage adjustment, so that the time until actual operation is greatly shortened.

本発明の中間信号制御装置の模擬装置の実施例１について、その具体的な構成を、図面を引用して説明する。図１は、（ａ）が中間信号制御装置の模擬装置７０の構成図、（ｂ）が模擬ユニット７３の正面図、（ｃ）が模擬ユニット７３の右側面図、（ｄ）が携帯ブロック７６の斜視図である。   The specific configuration of the intermediate signal control apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1A is a configuration diagram of a simulation device 70 of an intermediate signal control device, FIG. 1B is a front view of a simulation unit 73, FIG. 1C is a right side view of the simulation unit 73, and FIG. FIG.

模擬装置７０は（図１（ａ）参照）、信号灯５１と同数の信号灯制御模擬回路７１を具えたものであり、信号灯制御模擬回路７１は、中間信号制御装置更新部分６０のうち信号灯制御ユニット６１を一時的に代行するものであり、信号灯制御ユニット６１で生成されて室内ケーブル６２のシグナルラインＳを介してトランス６７へ送出される制御信号に似せた模擬信号を生成するようになっている。具体的には、その模擬信号の採りうる二値状態のうち何れか一方を手動で設定する操作スイッチＳＷと、信号灯制御ユニット６１において制御信号の生成時に生じる電圧降下と等価な電圧降下を模擬信号に生じさせる電圧降下模擬回路(Ｄs+Ｒ)とが、それぞれの信号灯制御模擬回路７１に設けられている。必要に応じて、ラインＳ，Ｍに接続したサージアブソーバＺも、設けられる。   The simulation apparatus 70 (see FIG. 1A) includes the same number of signal lamp control simulation circuits 71 as the signal lamps 51. The signal lamp control simulation circuit 71 includes the signal lamp control unit 61 in the intermediate signal control apparatus update portion 60. Is temporarily substituted, and a simulation signal similar to the control signal generated by the signal lamp control unit 61 and sent to the transformer 67 via the signal line S of the indoor cable 62 is generated. Specifically, the operation switch SW for manually setting one of the binary states that can be taken by the simulation signal, and the voltage drop equivalent to the voltage drop that occurs when the control signal is generated in the signal light control unit 61 are simulated signals. Each signal lamp control simulation circuit 71 is provided with a voltage drop simulation circuit (Ds + R) that is generated in the above. If necessary, a surge absorber Z connected to the lines S and M is also provided.

電圧降下模擬回路(Ｄs+Ｒ)は、ソリッドステートリレーＳＳＲの順方向電圧降下を模擬する模擬ダイオードＤｓと、電流検出計Ｉの抵抗と等価な模擬抵抗Ｒとを、直列接続した回路からなる。模擬ダイオードＤｓは、この例では交流を流すため、反対向きで並列接続されたダイオード対が基本単位にされ、それが電圧降下に必要なだけ直列接続されたものとなっている。
このような模擬装置７０は、電子端末架３０や機器架４０に搭載されることなく、例えば八個の信号灯制御模擬回路７１を箱体に納めた模擬ユニット７３や（図１（ｂ），（ｃ）参照）、例えば三個の模擬ユニット７３を連結して把手を付けた携帯ブロック７６などに纏められる。模擬ユニット７３では、操作スイッチＳＷ１〜ＳＷ８が前面に配置され、室内ケーブル６２のコネクタ６３に適合したコネクタ７４が背面に配されている。 The voltage drop simulation circuit (Ds + R) is a circuit in which a simulation diode Ds that simulates a forward voltage drop of the solid state relay SSR and a simulation resistor R equivalent to the resistance of the current detector I are connected in series. In this example, the simulated diode Ds is configured such that a pair of diodes connected in parallel in opposite directions is used as a basic unit in order to pass alternating current, and is connected in series as much as necessary for voltage drop.
Such a simulation device 70 is not mounted on the electronic terminal rack 30 or the equipment rack 40, for example, a simulation unit 73 in which eight signal lamp control simulation circuits 71 are housed in a box (FIG. 1B, ( c)), for example, the three simulation units 73 are connected to each other and combined into a portable block 76 with a handle. In the simulation unit 73, operation switches SW1 to SW8 are disposed on the front surface, and a connector 74 that is suitable for the connector 63 of the indoor cable 62 is disposed on the rear surface.

この実施例１の模擬装置７０を用いて行う中間信号制御装置の更新方法について、図面を引用して説明する。図１（ａ）は、中間信号制御装置２０の既設部分と中間信号制御装置更新部分６０の機器架搭載部分と模擬装置７０の構成図である。   A method for updating the intermediate signal control apparatus using the simulation apparatus 70 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A is a configuration diagram of an existing portion of the intermediate signal control device 20, a device rack mounting portion of the intermediate signal control device update portion 60, and a simulation device 70.

この更新方法でも、従来同様、既設の軌道１０に付設した信号機の信号灯１２を中間信号制御装置２０で制御している状態から（図３参照）、軌道１０の一部を新たな軌道５０に変更するに伴って中間信号制御装置２０に中間信号制御装置更新部分６０を追加して切替可能状態を作り出すのであるが（図４参照）、その途中で模擬装置７０を使用して電圧調整の作業を行うことが従来と相違する（図１参照）。すなわち、信号灯５１を装備した信号機が軌道５０に付設され、中間信号制御装置更新部分６０のうちトランス６６，６７が機器架４０に搭載され、信号灯５１とトランス６７とが配電盤６８と室外ケーブル５２とで接続されたら、信号灯制御ユニット６１が電子端末架３０に設置されるのを待たずに、模擬装置７０を用いてトランス６７の電圧調整作業が行われる。   Even in this updating method, a part of the track 10 is changed to a new track 50 from the state where the signal lamp 12 of the traffic light attached to the existing track 10 is controlled by the intermediate signal control device 20 (see FIG. 3). As a result, the intermediate signal control device update portion 60 is added to the intermediate signal control device 20 to create a switchable state (see FIG. 4). This is different from the conventional one (see FIG. 1). That is, a traffic light equipped with a signal lamp 51 is attached to the track 50, and the transformers 66 and 67 of the intermediate signal control device update portion 60 are mounted on the equipment rack 40. The signal lamp 51 and the transformer 67 are connected to the switchboard 68, the outdoor cable 52, and the like. Then, the voltage adjustment operation of the transformer 67 is performed using the simulation device 70 without waiting for the signal light control unit 61 to be installed on the electronic terminal rack 30.

この電圧調整作業では、電子端末架３０に搭載された信号灯制御ユニット６１でなく、模擬装置７０の信号灯制御模擬回路７１が、室内ケーブル６２にて機器架４０の電圧調整可能なトランス６７に接続される。模擬装置７０は小さくて例えば架間の隙間等に一時設置しても邪魔にならないので、機器室１４に新たな架を設ける必要は無い。
この場合も、トランス６６，６７について一つずつ電圧調整が行われ、トランス６７の電圧調整は、信号灯５１の印加電圧を作業者が計測して別の作業者に連絡し、連絡を受けた作業者が該当トランス６７のタップ調整を行う、といった手順で遂行されるが、この場合は、模擬装置７０からトランス６７を介して新規設置分の信号機の信号灯５１へ模擬信号を送出しながらトランス６７に係る電圧調整が行われる。 In this voltage adjustment work, not the signal lamp control unit 61 mounted on the electronic terminal rack 30 but the signal lamp control simulation circuit 71 of the simulator 70 is connected to the transformer 67 capable of adjusting the voltage of the apparatus rack 40 by the indoor cable 62. The Since the simulation apparatus 70 is small and does not get in the way even if it is temporarily installed, for example, in a gap between the racks, it is not necessary to provide a new rack in the equipment room 14.
Also in this case, voltage adjustment is performed one by one for the transformers 66 and 67. In the voltage adjustment of the transformer 67, the operator measures the voltage applied to the signal lamp 51, contacts another worker, and receives the contact. The operator performs the tap adjustment of the corresponding transformer 67. In this case, the simulation device 70 sends the simulation signal to the signal lamp 51 of the newly installed traffic light via the transformer 67 to the transformer 67. Such voltage adjustment is performed.

また、この場合は、制御部３１を含む中間信号制御装置２０の既設部分に対し、中間信号制御装置更新部分６０も模擬装置７０も、未だ結合されていないので、中間信号制御装置２０の稼動状態にかかわらず何時でも自由に模擬装置７０と中間信号制御装置更新部分６０を動作させることが許される。そのため、既設の軌道１０で列車運行がなされていようといまいと何時でもトランス６６，６７の電圧調整が行える。
さらに、その電圧調整に際してトランス６７への送出信号の値を設定や変更することが必要になったときには、作業者は、模擬装置７０の信号灯制御模擬回路７１の操作スイッチＳＷのうち該当するものを手動操作することで、容易に作業を進められる。 In this case, since the intermediate signal control device update portion 60 and the simulation device 70 are not yet coupled to the existing portion of the intermediate signal control device 20 including the control unit 31, the operating state of the intermediate signal control device 20 Regardless of this, it is allowed to freely operate the simulator 70 and the intermediate signal controller update portion 60 at any time. Therefore, the voltage of the transformers 66 and 67 can be adjusted at any time whether the train operation is performed on the existing track 10 or not.
Furthermore, when it becomes necessary to set or change the value of the signal sent to the transformer 67 during the voltage adjustment, the operator selects the corresponding one of the operation switches SW of the signal lamp control simulation circuit 71 of the simulation device 70. The operation can be easily performed by manual operation.

操作スイッチＳＷをオフ（開，遮断）にしたときにはトランス６７の一次側には電圧が印加されないが、操作スイッチＳＷをオン（閉，短絡）にすると、トランス６６の二次側と室内ケーブル６２のパワーラインＰと操作スイッチＳＷと電圧降下模擬回路(Ｄs+Ｒ)と室内ケーブル６２の該当シグナルラインＳと該当トランス６７の一次側とが導通して、そこに模擬信号の電流が流れる。トランス６６の出力する制御信号生成用の交流が例えばＡＣ１１０Ｖであるとすると、電圧降下模擬回路(Ｄs+Ｒ)での電圧降下たとえば１０Ｖが減じられるので、該当トランス６７にはＡＣ１００Ｖが印加される。この模擬信号の電圧は、信号灯制御ユニット３２，６１がトランス４３，６７に送出する制御信号の電圧とほぼ同じであり、負荷変動等による電流変動時にも同様に変動する。そのため、模擬装置７０を使用しても、信号灯制御ユニット６１を使用したに等しいほど適切に、電圧調整がなされる。   When the operation switch SW is turned off (opened or shut off), no voltage is applied to the primary side of the transformer 67. However, when the operation switch SW is turned on (closed or shorted), the secondary side of the transformer 66 and the indoor cable 62 are connected. The power line P, the operation switch SW, the voltage drop simulation circuit (Ds + R), the corresponding signal line S of the indoor cable 62, and the primary side of the corresponding transformer 67 are conducted, and the current of the simulated signal flows there. If the AC for generating the control signal output from the transformer 66 is, for example, 110V AC, the voltage drop, for example, 10V in the voltage drop simulation circuit (Ds + R) is reduced, so that 100V AC is applied to the transformer 67. The voltage of the simulation signal is substantially the same as the voltage of the control signal sent to the transformers 43 and 67 by the signal lamp control units 32 and 61, and similarly varies when the current fluctuates due to a load fluctuation or the like. Therefore, even if the simulation device 70 is used, the voltage adjustment is appropriately performed as much as using the signal light control unit 61.

こうして、トランス６６，６７の総てに電圧調整が施されて、中間信号制御装置更新部分６０に係る電圧調整の作業が速やかに完了する。
そして、電圧調整が済むと、模擬装置７０が取り外される。それから、電子端末架３０に信号灯制御ユニット６１が装備され、それに室内ケーブル６２のコネクタ６３が接続されて、確認試験の準備が調う。確認試験以降は従来同様なのでその説明は割愛するが、先行の電圧調整作業が速やかに完了するので、確認試験以降の作業を前倒しして早めに開始することができる。 In this way, voltage adjustment is performed on all of the transformers 66 and 67, and the operation of voltage adjustment related to the intermediate signal control device update portion 60 is quickly completed.
When the voltage adjustment is completed, the simulation device 70 is removed. Then, the signal lamp control unit 61 is installed in the electronic terminal rack 30, and the connector 63 of the indoor cable 62 is connected to the electronic terminal rack 30, so that the preparation for the confirmation test is completed. The description after the confirmation test is the same as in the prior art, and the explanation thereof is omitted. However, since the preceding voltage adjustment work is completed quickly, the work after the confirmation test can be advanced and started early.

本発明の中間信号制御装置の更新方法に係る実施例２について、その具体的な構成を、図面を引用して説明する。図２は、中間信号制御装置２０の既設部分と中間信号制御装置更新部分６０と模擬装置７０の構成図である。
この更新方法が上述した実施例１のものと相違するのは、中間信号制御装置更新部分６０のうち信号灯制御ユニット６１を電子端末架３０に搭載する作業が機器架４０搭載のトランス６７の電圧調整に先行して又は並行して行われる点である。 A specific configuration of the second embodiment of the method for updating the intermediate signal control apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the existing portion of the intermediate signal control device 20, the intermediate signal control device update portion 60, and the simulation device 70.
This update method is different from that of the first embodiment described above in that the operation of mounting the signal lamp control unit 61 in the electronic terminal rack 30 in the intermediate signal control device update portion 60 is the voltage adjustment of the transformer 67 mounted in the equipment rack 40. It is performed before or in parallel.

この場合、信号灯制御ユニット６１が電子端末架３０に搭載されて制御部３１の制御を受ける態勢をとるが、トランス６７の電圧調整が済むまでは室内ケーブル６２のコネクタ６３が信号灯制御ユニット６１でなく模擬装置７０の信号灯制御模擬回路７１に接続されているので、模擬装置７０を使用した電圧調整作業が滞りなく遂行される。
そして、電圧調整が済んだら、室内ケーブル６２のコネクタ６３を模擬装置７０から外して電子端末架３０に接続し直せば、確認試験を行う準備が調う。
確認試験は制御部３１のプログラムを入れ替えれば何時でも行うことができる。 In this case, the signal lamp control unit 61 is mounted on the electronic terminal rack 30 and is ready to be controlled by the control unit 31, but the connector 63 of the indoor cable 62 is not the signal lamp control unit 61 until the voltage adjustment of the transformer 67 is completed. Since it is connected to the signal light control simulation circuit 71 of the simulation device 70, the voltage adjustment work using the simulation device 70 is performed without delay.
When the voltage adjustment is completed, the connector 63 of the indoor cable 62 is removed from the simulation device 70 and reconnected to the electronic terminal rack 30, and the preparation for the confirmation test is completed.
The confirmation test can be performed at any time by replacing the program of the control unit 31.

本発明の中間信号制御装置の模擬装置および更新方法の適用は、上記の実施例で示した軌道変更による信号機更新に伴う中間信号制御装置の更新に限られる訳でない。例えば、既存の軌道はそのままにして、その軌道に信号機を増設するときや、軌道に沿って信号機を移設するときなどにも、信号機更新に伴って中間信号制御装置を更新する場合、本発明は適用可能であり有効である。   The application of the simulation apparatus and the update method for the intermediate signal control apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to the update of the intermediate signal control apparatus accompanying the traffic signal update by the trajectory change shown in the above embodiment. For example, when an intermediate signal control device is to be updated along with a traffic signal update even when a traffic signal is added to the track without changing an existing track, or when a traffic signal is relocated along the track, the present invention Applicable and effective.
