The system includes a first intelligent control unit 1 located in the selected vehicle, a second intelligent control unit 2 located in each of the remaining vehicles, and door controllers 3 located in each vehicle. Same device, such as a logic control unit LCU, can be applied to the first intelligent control unit 1 and the second intelligent control units 2. However, the first intelligent control unit 1 and the second intelligent control units 2 are different in port settings and functions. For the convenience of control, the first intelligent control unit 1 is usually arranged in a host vehicle, so as to facilitate unified door control for the entire units. The first intelligent control unit 1 can also be provided in remaining vehicles according to actual needs. Each vehicle (including the host vehicle and remaining vehicles) is provided with a door controller 3, which is used to drive the door action of the corresponding vehicle.

The first intelligent control unit 1 includes a plurality of door control instruction output ports 10, and the first intelligent control unit 1 and the second intelligent control units 2 are provided with a plurality of door control instruction input ports 20 corresponding to the plurality of door control instruction output ports 10. After acquiring door control operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs corresponding door control instructions through the corresponding door control instruction output port 10. The door control operation information may be door control operation information used by a driver, such as information indicating that the driver presses a control button for opening the door. The first intelligent control unit 1 may be connected to a door control button for the driver through the door control instruction output port 10, for instance, the door control button used by the driver may be a switch shown in FIG. 1. Only when the door control button is pressed by the driver, the corresponding door control instruction output port 10 can output a signal. The first intelligent control unit 1 may include a plurality of door control instruction output ports 10, and for convenience, only one door control instruction output port 10 is shown in FIG. 1. After the door control instruction is received by the door control instruction input ports 20 corresponding to the first intelligent control unit 1 and the second intelligent control unit 2, the corresponding door controller control port 30 is driven to control the door controller 3 of the corresponding vehicle to execute the door control instruction (the door controller control port 30 can be driven through a relay structure).

According to door control requirements, the door control operation information may include right door opening operation information, right door closing operation information, right door releasing operation information, left door opening operation information, left door closing operation information and left door releasing operation information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the intelligent control unit is used as the core, by employing a contactless control system, the problems of complex logic control circuit, abnormal adhesion of contacts, circuit board burning loss and the like of a current multiple-unit train are solved. In addition, the design, application and transformation cost, post-maintenance cost and spare parts cost of the multiple-unit train can be saved; the reliability of the logic control circuit of the multiple-unit train is improved and the complex control circuit is simplified, which improves the efficiency of post-maintenance and reconstruction; moreover, a new design concept and design idea for the intelligent multiple-unit train are provided.

In an embodiment, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the first intelligent control unit 1 and the second intelligent control units 2 are connected to a train braking control unit through a first speed signal acquisition port and a second speed signal acquisition port, respectively. In an embodiment, the first speed signal acquisition port has a signal when the train speed is equal to or less than a first preset speed, and has no signal when the train speed is greater than the first preset speed; the second speed signal acquisition port has a signal when the train speed is equal to or less than a second preset speed, and has no signal when the train speed is greater than the second preset speed; the second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed.

Each of the first intelligent control unit 1 and the second intelligent control unit 2 includes a first speed signal acquisition port and a second speed signal acquisition port, and the first speed signal acquisition port and the second speed signal acquisition port are respectively connected to the train braking control unit BCU for acquiring the speed signal. In an embodiment, the first speed signal acquisition port has a signal when the train speed is equal to or less than a first preset speed, and has no signal when the train speed is greater than the first preset speed; the second speed signal acquisition port has a signal when the train speed is equal to or less than a second preset speed, and has no signal when the train speed is greater than the second preset speed; the second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed.

The values of the second preset speed and the first preset speed can be set according to actual needs. Taking the first preset speed of 5 km/h and the second preset speed of 10 km/h as an example, the first speed signal acquisition port has a signal when the train speed is equal to or less than 5 km/h, and has no signal when the train speed is greater than 5 km/h; the second speed signal acquisition port has a signal when the train speed is equal to or less than 10 km/h, and has no signal when the train speed is greater than 10 km/h.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, according to this embodiment, a first speed signal acquisition port and a second speed signal acquisition port are disposed in the first intelligent control unit and the second intelligent control unit, so as to provide the basis for door control using speed information.

In an embodiment, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, when the door control operation information is the right door releasing operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the right door releasing instruction through the corresponding door control instruction output port 10 only when it is determined that the first speed signal acquisition port has a signal; when the door control operation information is the left door releasing operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the left door releasing instruction through the corresponding door control instruction output port 10 only when it is determined that the first speed signal acquisition port has a signal.

When the door release of the entire group is controlled by the first intelligent control unit 1, the information of the vehicle speed for releasing the door can be set, for instance, the door release is allowed when the vehicle speed is equal to or less than 5 km/h. The information that the vehicle speed is equal to or less than 5 km/h can be obtained according to the signal condition of the first speed signal acquisition port. As an illustration, provided that the first preset speed is 5 km/h and the second preset speed is 10 km/h, the first speed signal acquisition port having a signal indicates that the vehicle speed is equal to or less than 5 km/h.

Therefore, when the door control operation information is the right door releasing operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the right door releasing instruction through the right door releasing control instruction output port only when it is determined that the first speed signal acquisition port has a signal; when the door control operation information is the left door releasing operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the left door releasing instruction through the left door releasing control instruction output port only when it is determined that the first speed signal acquisition port has a signal.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, a reliable and practical door-release control is realized by setting a speed condition for releasing the doors.

In an embodiment, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, when the door control operation information is the left door opening operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the left door opening instruction through the corresponding door control instruction output port 10 only when it is determined that the left door releasing instruction has been output. When the door control operation information is the right door opening operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the right door opening instruction through the corresponding door control instruction output port 10 only when it is determined that the right door releasing instruction has been output.

When the first intelligent control unit 1 controls the door opening (left door opening and right door opening) of the entire units, the condition for opening the doors can be that the instruction to release the door has been transmitted, i.e., releasing the door before opening the door. Therefore, when the door control operation information is the left door opening operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the left door opening control instruction through the corresponding left door opening control instruction output port only when it is determined that the left door releasing instruction has been output. When the door control operation information is the right door opening operation information, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the right door opening control instruction through the corresponding right door opening control instruction output port only when it is determined that the right door releasing instruction has been output.

On the basis of the forgoing embodiments, in this embodiment, by setting releasing door before opening door, the accuracy of the door opening control logic is ensured.

In an embodiment, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, when it is informed that the first speed signal acquisition port has no signal and the second speed signal acquisition port has a signal, the first intelligent control unit 1 and/or the second intelligent control unit 2 drives the automatic door closing control port to control the door controller of the corresponding vehicle to automatically close the left door and the right door.

In order to ensure safety, the intelligent control units of each vehicle, that is, the first intelligent control unit 1 and the second intelligent control unit 2 are provided with a first speed signal acquisition port and a second speed signal acquisition port for acquiring the speed information of the brake control unit (BCU). Taking the first preset speed of 5 km/h and the second preset speed of 10 km/h as an example, the first speed signal acquisition port having no signal and the second speed signal acquisition port having a signal indicates that the vehicle speed is between 5 and 10 km/h (including 10 km/h), at which point it is necessary to control the automatic door closing through the automatic door closing control port (belonging to the door controller control port).

Each vehicle independently controls the automatic door closing according to the speed information through the independently provided intelligent control unit. In the case that the first intelligent control unit 1 is disposed in the host vehicle, the second intelligent control units 2 are disposed in remaining vehicles, when the first intelligent control unit 1 of the host vehicle is informed that its first speed signal acquisition port has no signal and the second speed signal acquisition port has a signal, the first intelligent control unit 1 drives the automatic door closing control port to control the door controller of the vehicle to automatically close the left door and right door and when the second intelligent control unit 2 of any of the remaining vehicles is determined that its first speed signal acquisition port has no signal and the second speed signal acquisition port has a signal, the second intelligent control units 2 drive the automatic door closing control port to control the door controllers of the vehicles to automatically close the left doors and right doors.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, the intelligent control unit provided in each vehicle controls the automatic door closing according to the signal conditions of the first speed signal acquisition port and the second speed signal acquisition port, thereby improving safety.

In an embodiment, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, when it is determined that the first speed signal acquisition port has no signal and the second speed signal acquisition port has no signal, the first intelligent control unit 1 and/or the second intelligent control unit 2 drives the automatic door locking control port to control the door controller of the vehicle to automatically lock the left door and the right door.

Taking the first preset speed of 5 km/h and the second preset speed of 10 km/h as an example, the first speed signal acquisition port having no signal and the second speed signal acquisition port having no signal indicates that the vehicle speed is greater than 10 km/h, at which point it is necessary to control the automatic locking door through the automatic door locking control port (belonging to the door controller control port).

Each vehicle independently controls the automatic door closing according to the speed information through the independently provided intelligent control unit. In the case that the first intelligent control unit 1 is disposed in the host vehicle, the remaining vehicles are provided with the second intelligent control units 2, when the first intelligent control unit 1 of the host vehicle is informed that its first speed signal acquisition port has no signal and the second speed signal acquisition port has no signal, the first intelligent control unit 1 drives the automatic door locking control port to control the door controller of the vehicle to automatically lock the left door and the right door and when the second intelligent control unit 2 of any of the remaining vehicles is informed that its first speed signal acquisition port has no signal and the second speed signal acquisition port has no signal, the second intelligent control unit 2 drives the automatic door locking control port to control the door controller of the vehicle to automatically lock the left door and the right door.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, the intelligent control unit provided in each vehicle controls the automatic locking of the door according to the signal conditions of the first speed signal acquisition port and the second speed signal acquisition port, thereby improving safety.

In an embodiment, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the system further includes a forced zero-speed switch disposed on the selected vehicle; in the event of an emergency, the forced zero-speed switch short-circuits the train braking control unit, and sends a door release permission signal to the first intelligent control unit 1; after receiving the door release permission signal, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the right door releasing instruction and the left door releasing instruction through the corresponding door control instruction output port.

The system further includes a forced zero-speed switch disposed on the selected vehicle, and the forced zero-speed switch is used to short-circuit the train braking control unit, namely send a bypass speed signal, and send a door release permission signal to the first intelligent control unit 1, indicating that an emergency has occurred, and in this case the door is forced to be released and is no longer limited by vehicle speed being less than 5 km/h. After receiving the door release permission signal, the first intelligent control unit 1 outputs the right door releasing instruction and the left door releasing instruction through the corresponding right door releasing instruction output port and the left door releasing instruction output port respectively, so as to allow the right and left doors to be released.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, by providing a forced zero-speed switch to short-circuit the train control unit when an emergency occurs, the door is forced to be released, which further improves the safety.

In an embodiment, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the first intelligent control unit 1 and the second intelligent control unit 2 further include a door action monitoring port, and the door action monitoring port is configured to receive the door lock in-position signal fed back by the door controller 3 of the vehicle. A current monitoring module is provided between the door control instruction output port 10 and the corresponding door control instruction input port 20, and the current monitoring module is configured to disconnect the corresponding branch when the current exceeds a preset current value.

The current monitor is configured to disconnect the corresponding branch when the current exceeds the preset current value, so as to independently protect each branch, and after a problem occurs in one branch, the operation of the remaining branches will not be affected.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, by disposing the door action monitoring port in the first intelligent control unit and the second intelligent control units and disposing the current monitor between the door control instruction output port and the corresponding door control instruction input port, the safety is further ensured and the reliability is further improved.

The manual control has a higher priority than the LCU control, so as to ensure the safety of the vehicle door. The main alternative functions and logical judgments are as follows:

• • 1. The LCU is used to control the door release, closing and opening operations of the corresponding vehicle. In addition, the LCU determines whether the vehicle satisfies the conditions for opening and releasing the door, and the judgment of the main control terminal of the train and the automatic door closing function when the speed reaches 5 km/h are enabled through the soft logic of the LCU.
  • 2. When a driver issues a door opening and closing instruction in the driver's cab, after the LCU determines that the vehicle satisfies the conditions for opening and closing the door, it sends a door opening and closing instruction to the door controller, and at the same time monitors whether the door is acting, as well as monitors the current of the door execution circuit.

In order to ensure that the vehicle can still implement the door control function when the LCU fails, the vehicle retains the local manual door opening and closing function, and the priority of manual control is higher than the door logic controlled by the LCU.

In the embodiments of the present application, the principle of the provided logic intelligent control system of train door based on intelligent control unit is mainly described from the functional aspect, and the specific implementation process and circuit can be realized by using existing devices (such as using relays and contacts to drive, using optocoupler diodes to access signals).
