The present disclosure relates to the field of a system and method for suppressing, especially relates to a system and method for suppressing the serpentine instability of a railway vehicle.
Train safety is a primary consideration for train operation. Therefore, domestic and foreign manufacturers have designed different monitor systems and devices to monitor the operation status of trains. These monitor systems and devices widely use accelerometers and strain gauge meters to monitor critical parts, which monitor train safety index and stability index. However, at present, there is no national standard for judging serpentine instability of a train. Usually, this processing method is adopted: a 0.5-10 Hz band-pass filtering for a transverse vibration acceleration of a bogie of a train is carried out, if the filtered signal has six consecutive wave peaks greater than 8-10 m/s2, then the train is considered to be unstable transversely (serpentine instability). However, the filtering range of this method is relatively large. After filtering, there can be signals outside the serpentine wave. Moreover, no theoretical basis is available for the definition of six continuous wave peaks, and misjudgments on the serpentine instability may occur.
With the increase of train speed, requirements for transportation safety are getting higher and higher. It is especially important to give warning and control to the serpentine instability of the train. Therefore, using detection technology to monitor the running status of high-speed rail train in real time, and providing a new method for accurate early warning of possible serpentine instability, is of great significance.

The serpentine warning and control module is used to determine whether a bogie is in a state of serpentine instability, and the traction motor speed control system is used to control a rotation speed of a traction motor according to a determination from the serpentine warning and control module. If the bogie is in the state of serpentine instability, according to the determination of the serpentine warning and control module, then the rotation speed of the traction motor is controlled to reduce and the serpentine instability of the railway vehicle is effectively eliminated.
In the present embodiment, the serpentine warning and control module uses the method of calculating the vibration non-linear index to determine whether the bogie is in a state of serpentine instability, and direct control of the rotation speed of the traction motor is realized through a direct torque control (DTC) theory.
Specifically, as shown in
As shown in
Two acceleration sensors are mounted diagonally above the spring of a bogie to measure the transverse acceleration of the bogie. The GPS module and the main control unit MCU module carry on data communication through a RS-232 serial port. Through the GPS module, it can be determined the non-linear index of a train is obtained under what speed, what position and what other conditions. The data collection module uses the A/D conversion chip to acquire the acceleration analog signal of the bogie. The data processing and analysis module is used to analyze and process serpentine instability characteristics.
The data collection module and the GPS module are packaged in a tin box and fixed in an equipment compartment under a high-speed rail train. An acceleration sensor is a strain-acceleration sensor and the sampling frequency of the sensor is set to 1000 Hz by default. The GPS test parameters are speed and position of the train, and the sampling frequency is set at 10 Hz by default.
The output ends (ydd1,ydd2) of the two measurement points of the transverse acceleration measure module are respectively connected with the two input ends of the serpentine warning and control module, and the transverse vibration accelerations ydd1 and ydd2 of the two measurement points are transmitted to the serpentine warning and control module to perform the next step calculation.
The serpentine warning and control module uses the method of calculating the vibration non-linear index to determine whether the bogie is in a state of serpentine instability, and the calculation of the vibration non-linear index comprises the following steps:
(1) Conducting a noise-aided EEMD empirical mode decomposition of the transverse acceleration signal of a sensor at an end of the bogie to obtain multiple mode components ci.
(2) Calculating an average frequency
wherein ε is an allowable error;
if Δfci>ε, then it is believed that there is no serpentine frequency component, and the high-speed rail train does not experience any serpentine instability;
