Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize train speed detection by regarding the output of a sensor which detects a ground speed normally as a train speed, and taking the output of a sensor which detects the rotating speed of a wheel with the wheel diameter value and regarding the corrected output as the train speed when the former sensor output is abnormal. CONSTITUTION:A wheel diameter detection part 3 detects the ratio of the output of the ground speed sensor 1 an the output of the rotating speed sensor 2 for the wheel and stores it in a wheel diameter storage part 4. A multiplication part 5 multiplies the output of the sensor 2 by the stored value and inputs the result to a selective switching part 6. Then the selective switching part 6 selects the outputs of the sensor 1 and multiplication part 5 according to the abnormal detection output of OR 18 and outputs them as the speed detection output of the train. For the abnormality detection of a sensor, a delay part 7, comparison parts 8 and 9, a processing part 10, a setting part 11, an addition part 13, and a subtraction part 14 considers that the sensor 1 is abnormal and selects the output of the sensor 2 if the sensor 1 indicates a speed 0 continuously for a specific time when the output of the sensor 1 varies exceeding the maximum acceleration and deceleration of the train or when the sensor 2 indicates more than a specific value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a train speed detection method, and particularly to an effective selection method for two speed sensor outputs: a ground speed detection method and a wheel rotation speed detection method. [Prior Art] Currently, the speed of a train is detected by detecting the rotational speed of the main motor or the rotational speed of the axle. All of these detect the number of revolutions of the train's wheels, correct it with a coefficient determined by the wheel diameter, and use it as the train speed. but,
This system does not always accurately indicate train speed due to wheels spinning or skidding when the train accelerates or decelerates, which can lead to problems with train speed control.

On the other hand, research and development has been conducted on speed relative to the ground surface, that is, ground speed detection methods using the Doppler effect, etc., but to date, there have been no systems that can be mounted on vehicles in terms of reliability and economy. Not yet. However, the "spatial filter type speed sensor" (Sensor Technology June 1986 issue P.
As shown in 62), its practical application is finally becoming possible.

However, this ground speed sensor generally looks at the reflection of wave signals on the ground surface, and is based on the shape of the ground surface.
In principle, it cannot be used in places such as iron bridges where there is a space between the bridge gages, and it requires backup of the conventional speed detection based on the number of wheel rotations.

Normally, the acceleration/deceleration speed of a train is at most 5 kn/h/
It does not exceed about s. Ground speed sensors are installed on the vehicle body or on devices attached to it, and are installed to detect the relative speed with the ground within or near the tracks, so except for certain locations, the speed of the train cannot be detected. , almost faithfully detected. Therefore, it is only necessary to use a wheel rotation speed sensor instead at a point where specific detection is difficult.

To determine whether there is an abnormality or not, the train acceleration/deceleration is at most ±5 km/
By limiting the rate of change to within h/s, it is sufficient to monitor the sensor output to ensure that the rate of change is within that range. Also, when the wheel rotational speed sensor outputs a certain level of speed detection, the output of the ground speed sensor has a speed detection value of 0, which means that if t′j is excluded from the idle speed at the start of the train, Since this is an impossible phenomenon, it can be judged as abnormal. Therefore, by adding a backup for wheel rotation speed detection only under specific conditions, we can solve this weak point.
It can be used. [Example] FIG. 1 shows an example of the present invention.

This is stored in the wheel diameter storage section 4. The output of a multiplier 5 that multiplies the output of the speed sensor 2 by this stored value is input to the selection switching section 6.
