Description

この発明は、地上と列車の間で情報を授受する情報伝送装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an information transmission device that exchanges information between the ground and a train.

列車の位置を検知して列車を制御するためにレールを電気回路の一部とする軌道回路が広く用いられている。軌道回路はレールを所望の長さに区分し、図6に示すように、区分した各軌道回路1T〜3Tの列車進出側に設けた送信器22によりレール6L,6Rに信号電流Isを送信し、各軌道回路1T〜3Tに列車3が在線しないときは、レール6L,6Rに送信している信号電流Isを各軌道回路1T〜3Tの列車進入側に設けた受信器23により受信している。例えば軌道回路2Tに列車3が進入すると左右のレール6L,6Rが車軸16により短絡されて送信器22bから送信している信号電流Isを受信器23で検出しなくなり、軌道回路2Tに列車3が進入したことを検知する。また、送信器22からレール6L,6Rに制限速度などの情報を有するATC信号を送信し、このレール6L,6Rに流れるATC信号を列車3に設けた受電器を介して車上受信器で受信して列車3の速度を制限速度以下に制御している。   In order to detect the position of a train and control the train, a track circuit having a rail as a part of an electric circuit is widely used. The track circuit divides the rail into desired lengths, and as shown in FIG. 6, a signal current Is is transmitted to the rails 6L and 6R by a transmitter 22 provided on the train advance side of each track circuit 1T to 3T. When the train 3 is not present in each track circuit 1T to 3T, the signal current Is transmitted to the rails 6L and 6R is received by the receiver 23 provided on the train approach side of each track circuit 1T to 3T. . For example, when the train 3 enters the track circuit 2T, the left and right rails 6L and 6R are short-circuited by the axle 16, and the signal current Is transmitted from the transmitter 22b is not detected by the receiver 23. Detect that it has entered. Further, an ATC signal having information such as speed limit is transmitted from the transmitter 22 to the rails 6L and 6R, and the ATC signal flowing through the rails 6L and 6R is received by the on-vehicle receiver via the power receiver provided in the train 3. Thus, the speed of the train 3 is controlled below the speed limit.

また、軌道回路で境界にレール絶縁をしない無絶縁軌道回路で列車が進入したことを明確に検知するため、特許文献1に示すように、3巻線の変成器の一次側の逆巻にした2個のコイルでそれぞれ左右のレールの一定長さによる電圧降下を検出して、レールに流れる信号電流の変化を検出して軌道回路の境界を明確にしている。   In addition, in order to clearly detect that the train has entered a non-insulated track circuit that does not provide rail insulation at the boundary in the track circuit, as shown in Patent Document 1, the primary side of the three-winding transformer is reversed. The voltage drop due to the fixed length of the left and right rails is detected by the two coils, respectively, and the change of the signal current flowing in the rail is detected to clarify the boundary of the track circuit.

この左右のレールが車軸短絡したことにより軌道回路に列車が進入したことを検知する方法は、送信器からレールに送信した信号電流は車軸の後方には流れず、列車が在線する軌道回路に後続列車が進入した場合、後続列車が進入したことを検知できないとともに後続列車に情報を送信することができないため、1つの軌道回路を一閉そく区間として一列車だけ進入させるようにしている。このため列車の高密度運転ができないという短所があった。   The method of detecting that the train has entered the track circuit due to the short circuit of the left and right rails is that the signal current transmitted from the transmitter to the rail does not flow behind the axle, but follows the track circuit where the train is located. When a train enters, since it is not possible to detect that a subsequent train has entered and information cannot be transmitted to the subsequent train, only one train is entered as one track circuit. For this reason, there was a disadvantage that the train could not be operated at high density.

このレールの車軸短絡による影響を受けずに地上と列車の間で情報を授受する情報伝送装置が特許文献2や特許文献3に開示されている。特許文献2に示された情報伝送装置は、2本のレールを長手方向に離れた2点を短絡線で互いに短絡し、短絡線の中点をトランスのコイルを介して互いに接続してレールと短絡線及びコイルで閉回路を形成し、トランスの他方のコイルを地上装置に接続して、車上の受電器が短絡点間のレールと電磁結合しているときに地上と車上間で情報の伝送を行うようにしている。   Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 disclose information transmission devices that exchange information between the ground and a train without being affected by the rail axle short circuit. In the information transmission device disclosed in Patent Document 2, two rails that are separated from each other in the longitudinal direction are short-circuited by a short-circuit wire, and the mid-point of the short-circuit wire is connected to each other via a transformer coil. A short circuit and coil form a closed circuit, the other coil of the transformer is connected to the ground device, and information is transferred between the ground and the vehicle when the on-vehicle power receiver is electromagnetically coupled to the rail between the short-circuit points. The transmission is done.

特許文献3に示された情報伝送装置は、隣接する2つの線路の一方の線路の1本のレールと他方の線路の1本のレールを利用して軌道回路を構成し、隣接する2つの線路を走行する列車と情報を授受するようにしている。

特許文献1に示された情報伝送装置は、2本のレールの短絡線で短絡された一定区間においてのみ地上と列車で情報の伝送を行うため、地上と列車の間で連続して情報を授受することはできなかった。   Since the information transmission device disclosed in Patent Document 1 transmits information between the ground and the train only in a certain section short-circuited by the two rail short-circuit lines, information is continuously transferred between the ground and the train. I couldn't.

また、車軸短絡により閉回路を構成する軌道回路では,図6に示すように、信号電流Isが左右のレールで互いに反対方向に流れ、帰線電流等のノイズ電流Inは左右のレールで同じ方向に流れるため、ノイズ電流を車上の受電器で打ち消すことができるが、2本のレールと短絡線及びコイルで閉回路を形成すると、レールの短絡点の間に流れる信号電流は2本のレールで同じ方向に流れノイズ電流の影響を大きく受けてしまい、伝送誤り率が高くなってしまう。   Further, in the track circuit that forms a closed circuit by short-circuiting the axle, as shown in FIG. 6, the signal current Is flows in opposite directions on the left and right rails, and the noise current In such as a return current is the same direction on the left and right rails. However, if a closed circuit is formed by two rails, a short-circuit wire and a coil, the signal current flowing between the rail short-circuit points is two rails. In the same direction, it is greatly affected by the noise current, and the transmission error rate becomes high.

また、特許文献2に示された情報伝送装置は2つの線路が隣接している場合にのみ適用できるとともにノイズ電流の影響を低減することはできなかった。   In addition, the information transmission device disclosed in Patent Document 2 can be applied only when two lines are adjacent to each other, and the influence of noise current cannot be reduced.

この発明は、このような問題を解消し、1つの軌道回路に複数の列車が在線することを検知して地上と各列車間で連続して情報を授受するとともにノイズ電流の影響を低減した情報伝送装置を提供することを目的とするものである。   The present invention solves such a problem, detects the presence of a plurality of trains on one track circuit, continuously transfers information between the ground and each train, and reduces the influence of noise current. The object is to provide a transmission apparatus.

この発明の情報伝送装置は、レールを電気回路の一部とする軌道回路に設けられた情報伝送路と地上装置と、列車に搭載された車上装置とを有し、情報伝送路は、レールを複数区間に分割して、各区間の一対の前記レールのうち片側のレールと直流阻止コンデンサ及びトランスの2次コイルが直列に接続された閉回路からなり、地上装置は、情報伝送路のトランスの1次コイルに接続された送信器と受信器とを有し、送信器は列車制御情報を含む信号を情報伝送路に送信し、受信器は車上装置から情報伝送路に送信された列車状態情報を含む信号を受信し、車上装置は、送信器と受信器とを有し、送信器は列車状態情報を含む信号を送受信コイルから情報伝送路に送信し、受信器は情報伝送路に送信されている列車制御情報を含む信号を送受信コイルから受信することを特徴とする。 The information transmission device of the present invention includes an information transmission path provided in a track circuit having a rail as a part of an electric circuit , a ground device, and an on-board device mounted on a train. The rail is divided into a plurality of sections, and is composed of a closed circuit in which one of the pair of rails in each section, a DC blocking capacitor, and a secondary coil of a transformer are connected in series. The transmitter has a transmitter and a receiver connected to the primary coil of the transformer. The transmitter transmits a signal including train control information to the information transmission path, and the receiver is transmitted from the onboard device to the information transmission path. A signal including train state information is received, the on-board device has a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter transmits a signal including train state information from the transmission / reception coil to the information transmission path, and the receiver transmits information. Send a signal containing train control information being sent to the road Characterized by receiving from the signal coil.

前記地上装置の処理装置は、隣接する地上装置の処理装置と列車状態情報を相互に伝送し、受信器で受信した列車状態情報と列車進行方向に隣接する地上装置の処理装置から伝送された列車状態情報から先行列車位置情報とレールを分割した境界位置情報を含む列車制御情報を生成して前記送信器に出力し、車上装置の処理部は、受信器で受信した列車制御情報に基づき列車の制限速度を算出して速度制御部に出力するとともに自列車位置と列車番号及び進行方向を含む列車状態情報を生成して前記送信器に出力する。   The processing device of the ground device mutually transmits the train state information and the processing device of the adjacent ground device, and the train transmitted from the processing device of the ground device adjacent to the train state information received by the receiver and the train traveling direction. Train control information including boundary position information obtained by dividing the preceding train position information and rails from the state information is generated and output to the transmitter, and the processing unit of the onboard device trains based on the train control information received by the receiver. Is calculated and output to the speed control unit, and train state information including the own train position, train number, and traveling direction is generated and output to the transmitter.

また、前記情報伝送路は、レールを複数区間に分割した各区間の一対のレールに対してそれぞれ直流阻止コンデンサ及びトランスの2次コイルを直列に接続した2回路の閉回路で構成することが望ましい。 Further, the information transmission path is preferably constituted by two closed circuits in which a DC blocking capacitor and a secondary coil of a transformer are connected in series to a pair of rails in each section obtained by dividing the rail into a plurality of sections. .

さらに、前記情報伝送路の2回路の閉回路に一方に列車制御情報を送信し、他方に列車状態情報を送信すると良い。   Furthermore, the train control information may be transmitted to one of the two closed circuits of the information transmission path, and the train state information may be transmitted to the other.

また、前記地上装置の送信器は列車制御情報をスペクトラム拡散変調して送信し、前記車上装置の送信器は列車状態情報をスペクトラム拡散変調して送信することが望ましい。   Preferably, the transmitter of the ground device transmits the train control information by performing spread spectrum modulation, and the transmitter of the onboard device transmits the train state information by performing spread spectrum modulation.

この発明は、情報伝送路を、レールを複数区間に分割して、各区間の片側のレールと直流阻止コンデンサ及びトランスの2次コイルが直列に接続された閉回路で構成することにより、地上装置から送信した信号電流のレベルを列車の車軸短絡の影響を受けずにほぼ一定にすることができ、車上装置の受信レベル変動を少なくして地上装置から送信している列車制御情報を安定して受信することができる。   According to the present invention, an information transmission path is constituted by a closed circuit in which a rail is divided into a plurality of sections, and a rail on one side of each section, a DC blocking capacitor, and a secondary coil of a transformer are connected in series. The level of the signal current transmitted from the vehicle can be kept almost constant without being affected by the short-circuit of the axle of the train, and fluctuations in the reception level of the on-board device can be reduced to stabilize the train control information transmitted from the ground device. Can be received.

また、情報伝送路のレールに送信している信号電流は左右のレールが車軸短絡されても列車の後方まで流れるから、一つの軌道回路に複数の列車を在線させることができ、列車の高密度運転を行うことができるとともに一つの軌道回路に在線した複数の列車で情報を授受することができる。   In addition, since the signal current transmitted to the rails of the information transmission path flows to the rear of the train even if the left and right rails are shorted to the axle, multiple trains can be located on a single track circuit. It can be operated and information can be exchanged with a plurality of trains on one track circuit.

また、情報伝送路を、レールを複数区間に分割した各区間の左右のレールに対してそれぞれ直流阻止コンデンサ及びトランスの2次コイルを直列に接続した2回路の閉回路で構成することにより、地上と列車間で情報を2チャンネルで送信することができ信頼性を向上することができる。   Further, the information transmission path is constituted by two closed circuits in which a DC blocking capacitor and a secondary coil of a transformer are connected in series to the left and right rails of each section obtained by dividing the rail into a plurality of sections, thereby Information can be transmitted between trains on two channels, and reliability can be improved.

さらに、地上装置の送信器と車上装置の送信器は情報をスペクトラム拡散変調して送信することにより雑音の影響を低減することができる。   Furthermore, the transmitter of the ground device and the transmitter of the on-vehicle device can reduce the influence of noise by transmitting the information by performing spread spectrum modulation.

図1はこの発明の情報伝送装置の構成を示すブロック図である。図に示すように、情報伝送装置は、軌道回路1T〜4T毎に設けられた情報伝送路1a〜1dと地上装置2a,2bと、列車3a,3bに搭載された車上装置4と送受信コイル5とを有する。情報伝送路1は、左右のレール6L,6Rのいずれか一方、例えばレール6Lを軌道回路1T〜4T毎に分割し、直列に接続されたトランス7a〜7cの2次コイルと直流阻止コンデンサ8をそれぞれ分割したレール6Lの両境界に接続して軌道回路1T〜4Tのレール6Lとトランス7の2次コイル及び直流阻止コンデンサ8で閉回路を構成している。地上装置2aはトランス7aの1次コイルに接続された軌道回路1T用の送信器9aと受信器10aと、トランス7bの1次コイルに接続された軌道回路2T用の送信器9bと受信器10bと処理装置11aを有し、地上装置2bはトランス7cの1次コイルに接続された軌道回路3T用の送信器9cと受信器10cと、トランス7dの1次コイルに接続された軌道回路4T用の送信器9dと受信器10dと処理装置11bを有する。送信器9は列車制御情報を含む信号を情報伝送路1に送信し、受信器10は車上装置4から情報伝送路1に送信された列車状態情報を含む信号を受信する。処理装置11は隣接する地上装置2の処理装置11と条件連絡回路12で連結され、列車状態情報を相互に伝送し、列車制御情報を送信器9に出力し、受信器10で受信した列車状態情報を入力する。
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information transmission apparatus of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the information transmission device includes information transmission paths 1a to 1d and ground devices 2a and 2b provided for each of the track circuits 1T to 4T, an onboard device 4 mounted on trains 3a and 3b, and a transmission / reception coil. And 5. Information transmission line 1, left and right rails 6L, whereas if Re 6R noise, for example, a rail 6L divided every track circuit 1T~4T, DC blocking capacitor and the secondary coil of the transformer 7a~7c connected in series 8 is connected to both boundaries of the divided rail 6L, and the closed circuit is constituted by the rail 6L of the track circuits 1T to 4T, the secondary coil of the transformer 7, and the DC blocking capacitor 8. The ground device 2a includes a transmitter 9a and a receiver 10a for the track circuit 1T connected to the primary coil of the transformer 7a, and a transmitter 9b and a receiver 10b for the track circuit 2T connected to the primary coil of the transformer 7b. The ground device 2b is used for the track circuit 4T connected to the primary coil of the transformer 7d and the transmitter 9c and the receiver 10c for the track circuit 3T connected to the primary coil of the transformer 7c. Transmitter 9d, receiver 10d, and processing device 11b. The transmitter 9 transmits a signal including train control information to the information transmission path 1, and the receiver 10 receives a signal including train state information transmitted from the on-board device 4 to the information transmission path 1. The processing device 11 is connected to the processing device 11 of the adjacent ground device 2 by the condition communication circuit 12, transmits train state information to each other, outputs train control information to the transmitter 9, and receives the train state received by the receiver 10. Enter information.

車上装置4a,4bは、それぞれ送信器13と受信器14及び処理部15とを有する。送信器13は列車状態情報を含む信号を送受信コイル5から情報伝送路1に送信し、受信器14は情報伝送路1に送信されている列車制御情報を含む信号を送受信コイル5から受信する。処理部15は受信器14で受信した列車制御情報に基づき列車3の制限速度を算出して速度制御部(不図示)に出力するとともに自列車の列車状態情報を送信器13に出力する。   The on-board devices 4a and 4b each have a transmitter 13, a receiver 14, and a processing unit 15. The transmitter 13 transmits a signal including train state information from the transmission / reception coil 5 to the information transmission path 1, and the receiver 14 receives a signal including the train control information transmitted to the information transmission path 1 from the transmission / reception coil 5. The processing unit 15 calculates the speed limit of the train 3 based on the train control information received by the receiver 14 and outputs it to the speed control unit (not shown) and also outputs the train state information of the own train to the transmitter 13.

この情報伝送装置の地上装置2aで情報伝送路1a,1bに列車制御情報を送信して車上装置4a,4bで受信して列車3a,3bの速度を制御するときの処理を説明する。   A process when the train control information is transmitted to the information transmission paths 1a and 1b by the ground device 2a of the information transmission device and received by the on-board devices 4a and 4b to control the speed of the trains 3a and 3b will be described.

処理装置11aは送信器9aに先行列車位置情報と情報伝送路1aの列車進入側のレール境界C1の位置情報及び軌道回路1Tの識別番号を含む列車制御情報を出力し、送信器9bにも先行列車位置情報と情報伝送路1bの列車進入側のレール境界C2の位置情報及び軌道回路2Tの識別番号を含む列車制御情報を出力する。送信器9aは入力した列車制御情報で変調された信号電流をトランス7aの1次コイルに送り、トランス7aの2次コイルから情報伝送路1aに信号電流I1を送信し、送信器9bは入力した列車制御情報で変調された信号電流をトランス7bの1次コイルに送り、トランス7bの2次コイルから情報伝送路1bに信号電流I2を送信する。情報伝送路1aに送信された信号電流I1はトランス7aの2次コイルから直流阻止コンデンサ8を通ってレール境界C2からレール境界C1に向けてレール6Lを流れ、情報伝送路1bに送信された信号電流I2はトランス7bの2次コイルから直流阻止コンデンサ8を通ってレール境界C3からレール境界C2に向けて流れる。   The processor 11a outputs the train control information including the preceding train position information, the position information on the rail boundary C1 on the train approaching side of the information transmission path 1a, and the identification number of the track circuit 1T to the transmitter 9a, and also precedes the transmitter 9b. Train control information including the train position information, the position information of the rail boundary C2 on the train approach side of the information transmission path 1b, and the identification number of the track circuit 2T is output. The transmitter 9a sends the signal current modulated by the input train control information to the primary coil of the transformer 7a, transmits the signal current I1 from the secondary coil of the transformer 7a to the information transmission path 1a, and the transmitter 9b inputs the signal current. The signal current modulated by the train control information is sent to the primary coil of the transformer 7b, and the signal current I2 is sent from the secondary coil of the transformer 7b to the information transmission path 1b. The signal current I1 transmitted to the information transmission path 1a flows from the secondary coil of the transformer 7a through the DC blocking capacitor 8 through the rail 6L from the rail boundary C2 toward the rail boundary C1, and the signal transmitted to the information transmission path 1b. The current I2 flows from the secondary coil of the transformer 7b through the DC blocking capacitor 8 toward the rail boundary C2 from the rail boundary C3.

軌道回路1Tに進入した列車3aの車上装置4aの受信器14は、情報伝送路1aのレール6Lに送信されている信号電流I1を送受信コイル5aを介して受信し、受信した信号電流I1から列車制御情報を抽出して処理部15に送る。処理部15は送られている列車制御情報に有する列車進入側のレール境界C1の位置情報と軌道回路1Tの識別番号を検出すると軌道回路1Tに列車3aが進入したと判定し、レール境界C1の位置情報に速度発電機からの信号を積算して列車3aの現在位置を算出し、算出した現在位置と列車制御情報に有する先行列車位置情報により先行列車3bまでの距離を算出して列車3aの減速性能に応じた制限速度を算出して出力する。また、軌道回路2Tに在線する列車3bの車上装置4bの受信器14は、情報伝送路1bのレール6Lに送信されている信号電流I2を送受信コイル5bを介して受信し、受信した信号電流I2から列車制御情報を抽出して処理部15に送る。処理部15は送られた列車制御情報に基づき列車3bの制限速度を算出して出力する。   The receiver 14 of the on-board device 4a of the train 3a that has entered the track circuit 1T receives the signal current I1 transmitted to the rail 6L of the information transmission path 1a via the transmission / reception coil 5a, and from the received signal current I1. Train control information is extracted and sent to the processing unit 15. The processing unit 15 determines that the train 3a has entered the track circuit 1T when detecting the position information of the rail boundary C1 on the train approach side and the identification number of the track circuit 1T included in the train control information being sent, and determines that the train 3a has entered the track circuit 1T. The current position of the train 3a is calculated by adding the signals from the speed generator to the position information, and the distance to the preceding train 3b is calculated from the calculated current position and the preceding train position information included in the train control information. Calculate and output the speed limit according to the deceleration performance. The receiver 14 of the on-board device 4b of the train 3b on the track circuit 2T receives the signal current I2 transmitted to the rail 6L of the information transmission path 1b via the transmission / reception coil 5b, and receives the received signal current. Train control information is extracted from I2 and sent to the processing unit 15. The processing unit 15 calculates and outputs the speed limit of the train 3b based on the train control information sent.

この車上装置4a,4bで受信するレール6Lに送信されている信号電流I1,I2は列車3a,3bの車軸16a,16bによる短絡の影響を受けずにほぼ一定であるから車上装置4a,4bの受信レベル変動を少なくすることができ、地上装置2a,2bから送信している列車制御情報を安定して受信することができる。   Since the signal currents I1 and I2 transmitted to the rail 6L received by the on-board devices 4a and 4b are substantially constant without being affected by a short circuit caused by the axles 16a and 16b of the trains 3a and 3b, The fluctuation in the reception level of 4b can be reduced, and the train control information transmitted from the ground devices 2a and 2b can be stably received.

また、情報伝送路1a,1bのレール6Lに送信している信号電流I1,I2はレール6L,6Rが車軸16a,16bで短絡されても列車3a,3bの後方まで流れるから、列車3bが在線する情報伝送路1bに送信器9bから送信する信号電流I2に列車3aと列車3bに送信する列車制御情報を例えば時分割で送信することにより、列車3bが在線する軌道回路2Tに列車3aが進入しても、列車3aで信号電流I2を受信することができ、1つの軌道回路2Tに複数の列車3a,3bを在線させることができ、列車3の高密度運転を行うことができる。   Further, the signal currents I1 and I2 transmitted to the rail 6L of the information transmission paths 1a and 1b flow to the rear of the trains 3a and 3b even if the rails 6L and 6R are short-circuited by the axles 16a and 16b. The train 3a enters the track circuit 2T where the train 3b is located, for example, by transmitting the train control information to be transmitted to the train 3a and the train 3b to the signal current I2 to be transmitted from the transmitter 9b to the information transmission path 1b. Even so, the signal current I2 can be received by the train 3a, and a plurality of trains 3a and 3b can be located on one track circuit 2T, so that the train 3 can be operated at high density.

次に車上装置4a,4bから地上装置2aに列車状態情報を送信するときの処理を説明する。   Next, processing when the train state information is transmitted from the on-board devices 4a and 4b to the ground device 2a will be described.

軌道回路1Tに進入している列車3aの車上装置4aの処理部15は、算出した自列車位置と列車番号及び進行方向を含む列車状態情報を送信器13に逐次出力する。送信器13は入力した列車状態情報で変調された信号電流It1を送受信コイル5aからレール6Lに送信する。レール6Lに送信された信号電流It1は情報伝送路1aのレール境界C2から直流阻止コンデンサ8とトランス7aの2次コイルに流れる。このトランス7aの2次コイルに流れる信号電流をトランス7aの1次コイルを介して地上装置2aの受信器10aで受信し、受信した信号電流It1から列車状態情報を抽出して処理装置11aに出力する。処理装置11aは入力した列車3aの列車状態情報を列車進行方向の後方の地上装置に条件連絡回路12を介して送る。また、軌道回路2Tに進入している列車3bの車上装置4bも同様にして信号電流It2を送受信コイル5bから情報伝送路1bのレール6Lに送信し、送信された信号電流It2を地上装置2aの受信器10bで受信して列車3bの列車状態情報を処理装置11aで処理する。   The processing unit 15 of the on-board device 4a of the train 3a entering the track circuit 1T sequentially outputs train state information including the calculated own train position, train number, and traveling direction to the transmitter 13. The transmitter 13 transmits the signal current It1 modulated by the input train state information from the transmission / reception coil 5a to the rail 6L. The signal current It1 transmitted to the rail 6L flows from the rail boundary C2 of the information transmission path 1a to the DC blocking capacitor 8 and the secondary coil of the transformer 7a. The signal current flowing through the secondary coil of the transformer 7a is received by the receiver 10a of the ground device 2a via the primary coil of the transformer 7a, and the train state information is extracted from the received signal current It1 and output to the processing device 11a. To do. The processing device 11a sends the input train state information of the train 3a to the ground device behind the train traveling direction via the condition communication circuit 12. Similarly, the on-board device 4b of the train 3b entering the track circuit 2T transmits the signal current It2 from the transmission / reception coil 5b to the rail 6L of the information transmission path 1b, and the transmitted signal current It2 is transmitted to the ground device 2a. Of the train 3b is processed by the processing device 11a.

このようにしてレール6Lを使用して地上装置2aと車上装置4a,4bとの間で情報を授受することができる。   In this way, information can be exchanged between the ground device 2a and the on-board devices 4a and 4b using the rail 6L.

また、前記説明では1本のレール6Lを使用して地上装置2と車上装置4との間で情報を授受する場合について説明したが、図2に示すように、左右のレール6L,6Rを電線で接続して同じ信号電流を送信しても良い。このように左右のレール6L,6Rに同じ信号電流を送信することにより列車制御情報や列車状態情報の伝送の安定性を向上することができる。   In the above description, the case where information is exchanged between the ground device 2 and the vehicle device 4 using one rail 6L has been described. However, as shown in FIG. The same signal current may be transmitted by connecting with an electric wire. Thus, the stability of transmission of train control information and train state information can be improved by transmitting the same signal current to the left and right rails 6L and 6R.

また、図2に示すように、軌道回路2Tに列車3aと列車3bが在線する場合は、情報伝送路1bのレール6Lに例えば列車3bの車上装置4bから送信した信号電流It2を列車3aの車上装置4aで受信することにより、列車3間で情報の授受を行うことができる。   As shown in FIG. 2, when the train 3a and the train 3b are present on the track circuit 2T, the signal current It2 transmitted from the onboard device 4b of the train 3b, for example, to the rail 6L of the information transmission path 1b is supplied to the train 3a. Information can be exchanged between the trains 3 by receiving the signals on the on-board device 4a.

この情報伝送路1a,1bに流れる信号電流I1,I2と信号電流It1,It2はレール6Lの一方向に流れ、帰線電流と同一方向になり、帰線電流等の雑音の影響を受ける。この雑音に耐えて伝送速度を下げることなしに同等以上の符号誤り率を確保するため、レール6Lに流す信号電流を耐雑音性能に優れたスペクトラム拡散方式にすることが望ましい。   The signal currents I1 and I2 and the signal currents It1 and It2 flowing in the information transmission paths 1a and 1b flow in one direction of the rail 6L, are in the same direction as the return current, and are affected by noise such as the return current. In order to withstand this noise and ensure a code error rate equal to or higher than that without lowering the transmission rate, it is desirable to use a spread spectrum system in which the signal current flowing through the rail 6L is excellent in noise resistance.

さらに、図3に示すように、左右のレール6L,6Rに異なる信号電流を送信しても良い。この場合、レール6Lを使用した情報伝送路1aL〜1dLとレール6Rを使用した情報伝送路1aR〜1dRを設け、地上装置2aには軌道回路1Tの情報伝送路1aLと軌道回路2Tの情報伝送路1bLと信号電流を授受する送信器9と受信器10と、軌道回路1Tの情報伝送路1aRと軌道回路2Tの情報伝送路1bRと信号電流を授受する送信器9と受信器10とを設け、地上装置2bには軌道回路3Tの情報伝送路1cLと軌道回路4Tの情報伝送路1dLと信号電流を授受する送信器9と受信器10と、軌道回路3Tの情報伝送路1dRと軌道回路2Tの情報伝送路1dRと信号電流を授受する送信器9と受信器10を設け、車上装置4にも情報伝送路1aL〜1dLと信号電流を授受する送信器13と受信器14と、情報伝送路1aR〜1dRと信号電流を授受する送信器13と受信器14を設けて、左右のレール6L,6Rに異なる信号電流を流すようにしても良い。この場合、図3に示すように、地上装置2a,2bから情報伝送路1aL〜1dLと情報伝送路1aR〜1dRに異なる周波数fと周波数fで異なる拡散符号PN1〜6で変調した信号電流を送信し、車上装置4a,4bからは地上装置2a,2bと異なる周波数fと異なる拡散符号PN3〜5で変調した信号電流を送信することにより、地上と列車3間で多くの情報を安定して送受信することができる。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, different signal currents may be transmitted to the left and right rails 6L and 6R. In this case, the information transmission paths 1aL to 1dL using the rail 6L and the information transmission paths 1aR to 1dR using the rail 6R are provided, and the information transmission path 1aL of the track circuit 1T and the information transmission path of the track circuit 2T are provided on the ground device 2a. 1bL, a transmitter 9 and a receiver 10 for transmitting and receiving a signal current, an information transmission path 1aR of the track circuit 1T, an information transmission path 1bR of the track circuit 2T, and a transmitter 9 and a receiver 10 for transmitting and receiving a signal current, The ground device 2b includes an information transmission path 1cL of the track circuit 3T, an information transmission path 1dL of the track circuit 4T, a transmitter 9 and a receiver 10 for transmitting and receiving a signal current, an information transmission path 1dR of the track circuit 3T, and a track circuit 2T. An information transmission path 1dR is provided with a transmitter 9 and a receiver 10 for transmitting / receiving a signal current, and an on-board device 4 is also provided with a transmitter 13 and a receiver 14 for transmitting / receiving a signal current to / from the information transmission path 1aL-1dL, and information transmission The receiver 14 is provided with a transmitter 13 for exchanging 1aR~1dR and signal currents, left and right rails 6L, it may be flowed different signal current to 6R. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the ground device 2a, 2b from the information transmission path 1aL~1dL information transmission path 1aR~1dR different frequencies f 1 and a signal modulated by a different spreading code PN 1 to 6 frequency f 2 By transmitting the current and transmitting the signal current modulated by the spreading codes PN 3 to 5 different from the on-board devices 4a and 4b with the frequency f 3 different from that of the ground devices 2a and 2b, a lot between the ground and the train 3 is transmitted. Information can be transmitted and received stably.

また、図3に示すように、軌道回路2Tに列車3aと列車3bが在線して、地上装置2aから列車3aと列車3bに列車制御情報を送信する場合、地上装置2aから送信する信号を時分割して複数のタイムスロットに分けることにより、複数の列車3a,3bに列車制御情報を伝送することができる。この場合、接続を確立する際には、列車3a,3bの固有番号や列車番号による振り分け、列車追跡、乱数の使用などによる衝突防止を図ることができる。   As shown in FIG. 3, when the train 3a and the train 3b are on the track circuit 2T and the train control information is transmitted from the ground device 2a to the train 3a and the train 3b, the signal transmitted from the ground device 2a is By dividing and dividing into a plurality of time slots, the train control information can be transmitted to the plurality of trains 3a and 3b. In this case, when establishing the connection, it is possible to prevent collisions by assigning trains 3a and 3b using the unique numbers and train numbers, tracking the train, and using random numbers.

また、左右のレール6L,6Rに異なる信号電流を送信するから、図4に示すように情報伝送路1aL〜1dLと情報伝送路1aR〜1dRが重なり合うようにしても良い。このように情報伝送路1aL〜1dLと情報伝送路1aR〜1dRを重なり合わせることにより、軌道回路1T〜4Tの境界で無信号状態になることの解消や接続確立に必要な時間の確保及び同期状態の維持を図ることができる。   In addition, since different signal currents are transmitted to the left and right rails 6L and 6R, the information transmission paths 1aL to 1dL and the information transmission paths 1aR to 1dR may overlap as shown in FIG. As described above, by overlapping the information transmission paths 1aL to 1dL and the information transmission paths 1aR to 1dR, it is possible to eliminate the no-signal state at the boundary between the track circuits 1T to 4T and to secure the time necessary for establishing the connection and the synchronization state. Can be maintained.

前記説明では情報伝送路1aL〜1dLと情報伝送路1aR〜1dRに列車制御情報を含む信号電流と列車状態情報を含む信号電流を送信する場合について説明したが、いずれか一方、例えば情報伝送路1aL〜1dLに列車制御情報を含む信号電流を送信し、他方の情報伝送路1aR〜1dRに列車状態情報を含む信号電流を送信しても良い。このように列車制御情報を含む信号電流と列車状態情を含む信号電流を異なる情報伝送路で送信することにより、地上装置2と車上装置4で安定して情報を送受信することができる。   In the above description, a case has been described in which a signal current including train control information and a signal current including train state information are transmitted to the information transmission paths 1aL to 1dL and the information transmission paths 1aR to 1dR. The signal current including the train control information may be transmitted to ˜1 dL, and the signal current including the train state information may be transmitted to the other information transmission paths 1 a R to 1 dR. As described above, by transmitting the signal current including the train control information and the signal current including the train state information through different information transmission paths, the ground device 2 and the on-board device 4 can stably transmit and receive information.

また、鉄道の線路には、駅や車両所などに分岐器が設けられる。この分岐器を含む個所の軌道回路は絶縁を挿入して構成している。そこで例えば図5に示すように、1番線と2番線と3番線に分岐した線路の分岐器が存在する個所でトレグレールの部分に信号電流を通すためのレールボンド20を接続し、クロッシングの部分に分岐線側と基準線側を絶縁するレール絶縁21を設け、1番線と2番線と3番線の左右のレールL,Rで異なる信号電流を流す情報伝送路1を構成することにより、インピーダンスボンドを使用しない、いわゆる無絶縁軌道回路を実現することができる。また、伝送する情報が少なく、左右のレールL,Rで同じ信号電流を流すとすれば、レールボンド20及びレール絶縁21をなくすことができ、無絶縁化を図ることができる。   In addition, a branching device is provided on a railway track at a station or a vehicle place. The track circuit including the branching device is constructed by inserting insulation. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a rail bond 20 for passing a signal current is connected to the tregreil part at a place where the branching device of the line branched to the first line, the second line, and the third line exists, and the crossing part is connected. By providing the rail insulation 21 that insulates the branch line side and the reference line side, and configuring the information transmission path 1 that allows different signal currents to flow in the left and right rails L and R of the first line, the second line, and the third line, A so-called non-insulated track circuit that is not used can be realized. Further, if there is little information to be transmitted and the same signal current is allowed to flow in the left and right rails L and R, the rail bond 20 and the rail insulation 21 can be eliminated, so that no insulation can be achieved.
