Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a train formation recognition method for recognizing a train number and a formation of connected vehicles.

[Conventional technology]

In general, many trains connect several trains, and in order to connect different final destinations or to respond to changes in the number of passengers depending on the time zone or traveling area, several trains are connected to one train. I often do it. In this case, when the destination of the train is divided, the number of connections changes, so the driver always brakes and stops the train while memorizing the number of connected vehicles.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, such a conventional method requires the driver to memorize a new connection number every time the connection number changes, which is extremely burdensome for an unfamiliar driver.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to solve such a drawback, the present invention relates to a single train comprising a plurality of single trains (1, 2) including a leading car, an intermediate car, and a trailing car. (1
In the train formation recognition method for recognizing the formation composition of one train in a, 2c), converters (H1 to H6) are installed in all vehicles (1a to 2c) of each formation, and a train of one train ( Setters (S1 to S4) are installed on the leading car (1a, 2a) and trailing car (1c, 2c) of (1, 2), and the setter (S1) of one leading car (1a) and the other on one train Between the setting device (S4) of the leading wheel car (2c) and each of the converters (H1 to H3), setting device (S2) and setting device (S3) connected thereto
The converters (H4 to H6) are connected by a signal path (S) connected in series in the order, and the signal paths of the setting devices (S2, S3) at the connection part of each composition are closed, and the converters of each composition ( With the signal paths of H1 to H6) open, the setting device (S1) installed on one of the leading cars of one train transmits the cueing data for instructing the start of the formation recognition operation to the converter of the vehicle. Transmitter (H1) receives the cue data, and the converter (H1) transmits a verified answer back signal indicating that the data has been received, and then transmits the signal to the intermediate vehicle (1b) connected to the rear position. After transmitting the allocation data, the converter (H2) of the intermediate vehicle (1b), which has received the allocation data, transmits the verified answer back signal and then is connected to the trailing vehicle connected to the rear position. Close the signal path to (1c) and send the allocation data with the vehicle number added by one count. After receiving this allocation data, the converter (H3) of the trailing car (1c) closes the signal path between the rear car (2a) and the leading car (2a) connected after sending the verified answer back signal. At the same time, the assigned data obtained by adding the vehicle number by one count is transmitted, and the converter (H4) of the leading car (2a) receiving the allocated data transmits the verified answer back signal and is connected to the subsequent position. Close the signal path to the intermediate car (2b) and
The count data is added, and the assignment data obtained by adding the car number by one is transmitted, and thereafter, the car number recognition and the formation number recognition are sequentially performed in the same procedure up to the converter (H6) installed in the other leading car of one train. The setting unit (S4) installed on the other leading car of one train sends out the allocation end data upon receiving the allocation data from the converter (H6) of the train, and transmits the vehicle at the leading car of the one train. The number and composition are displayed on a display (DP).

(Operation)

Every time the vehicle name is recognized, the allocation data for performing the vehicle name recognition is transmitted to the following vehicle.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 2 denote trains, each of which comprises a leading car 1a, 2a, an intermediate car 1b, 2b, and a trailing car 1c, 2c. Here, the vehicle with the driver is defined as the leading vehicle, and the vehicle with the conductor conducting the driving operation is defined as the tail car. The first vehicle 1a is defined as the first vehicle, and the last vehicle 2c is defined as the last vehicle.

For front cars 1a, 2a, rear cars 1c, 2c, front / rear selectors D1 to D4, display DP, setters S1 to S4 for setting each vehicle condition, converters H1, H3, H4 for transmitting and receiving data. H6 is provided, and converters H2, H5 are provided in the intermediate wheels 1b, 2b. Top car 1a, 2
The setting devices S1, S3, the display device DP, and the converters H1, H4 provided in a are set as Tc 'vehicles, that is, vehicles on the Tokyo side.

Note that the leading cars 1a, 2a and the trailing cars 1c, 2c are provided with an inverter (not shown). In the case of one train, the leading cars 1a, 2a that are set as Tc 'cars are given priority control. When the control from this vehicle is not performed, the tail wheels 1c, 2
c is in control. In the case of FIG. 1, since there are two trains, the leading car 1a gives priority to the inverter, and if this control is not performed, the trailing car 2c performs control.

FIG. 1 (a) shows a state before the power is turned on, and a power supply path U0 and a signal path S are formed in series so as to be connected in series.

When the power is turned on in the knitting thus configured, the setter S1 operates an inverter (not shown) based on the conditions of the Tc 'side and the front / rear switch D1, and supplies power to the power supply path U0. Then, based on the conditions of the front / rear switching devices D1 to D4, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the setting devices S1 and S4 open the passage,
The setting devices S2 and S3 close the passage. After that, the setting device S1
Since the first allocation start data (for example, address 10H, data 40H) is sent out from the condition on the c 'side, the converter H1
H6 receive this data. At this time, each converter H1 ~ H6
Is configured to transmit a non-verification answerback signal indicating non-verification when it cannot verify that the data is the first allocation data. The drawing-in is opened as shown in FIG. 1 (c).

After that, the setting unit S1 sends out the cueing data (for example, address 10H, data 00H) for cueing the knitting, so that the converter H1 which has received this data has received the collated answer record indicating that the signal has been received. After transmitting the signal, the signal path to the intermediate vehicle 1b, which is the rear vehicle, is closed as shown in FIG. 1 (d). Then, second allocation data (for example, address 10H, data 10H) is transmitted.

As a result, the second allocation data is received by the converter H2,
From this, a verified answerback signal is transmitted. Then, the converter H2 closes the connection as shown in FIG. 1 (e) and sends out third allocation data (for example, address 10H and data 11H) obtained by adding one count to the vehicle number. The third allocation data is received by the converter H3. After transmitting the verified answerback signal, the converter H3 closes the passage as shown in FIG. Fourth allocation data added (for example, address 10H, data 12H)
Is sent.

The fourth allocation data is received by the converter H4, from which a verified answer back signal is transmitted, and thereafter, FIG. 1 (g).
Is closed as shown in FIG. Where the converter H4 is
Since it is set on the Tc 'side, it recognizes the change of the configuration, adds one count to the composition, and sends out fifth allocation data (for example, address 10H, data 23H) obtained by adding one count to the car number. .

Hereinafter, in the same procedure, the vehicle number recognition is performed sequentially following the sequence up to the converter H6. And setting device S4 is Tc
It recognizes that the knitting is the last from the conditions of the side and the condition of the front / rear switch D4, and assigns the allocation end data (for example, address 10H,
Data 80H), the setting unit S1 receives the allocation end data and receives the composition allocation data (for example, addresses 16H,
Data 5052H).

This operation terminates a series of data transmissions. However, when the power is turned on, the vehicle number is automatically recognized sequentially from the leading vehicle to the trailing vehicle. By displaying the result recognized so far in the last vehicle ₁₆ on the display device DP, the number of vehicles and the composition are displayed.

Next, the operation at the time of connection and disconnection will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 2, an operation when the first train 1 and the second train 2 are connected will be described. Second
Before the connection shown in FIG. 7A, the setting devices S1 to S4 are the front / rear switching devices D1.
~ D4 has been opened from the conditions,
The inverters I1 and I3 are operating from the condition on the Tc 'side.

When this train is connected as shown in FIG. 2 (b),
The forward / reverse switching device D2 connected to the setting device S2 is switched to the middle position by the crew, and it is detected that there is no power supply from the train 2, and the setting device S2 is pulled as shown in FIG. 2 (c). Close the thread. Setter S3 is a front / rear switch D3 connected to it.
Is set to the middle position by the crew, detects that power is supplied from train 1,
Control so that I3 is turned off. The setting device S4 controls the inverter I4 to turn off to on so that no power is supplied during the passage.

The setting unit S3 is used when power is supplied from the train 1.
Inverter off data (for example, address 12H, data 80H) for turning off the inverter I4 is sent to S4. The setter S4 receiving this data controls the inverter to be turned off. After confirming that the power supply from the setting device S4 has been stopped, the setting device S3 closes the drawing-in as shown in FIG. 2 (d). By performing the above control, the train I, the train I, and the train I are controlled by the setter S1.
Power is supplied to the train 2. After that, the setting device S3 displays allocation data (for example, an address) indicating that the composition has changed.
10H, data 40H).

Next, the operation at the time of disconnection will be described. Before the disconnection, as shown in FIG. 2 (e), the inverter I1 controlled by the setting device S1 supplies power to the train 1 and the train 2, and the setting device S1
2, S3 is closed when receiving the condition of the middle position of the front / rear selectors D2, D3.

The forward / backward switch D2, which is in contact with the setting device S2 to perform disconnection, is switched from the middle position to the front or rear position, whereby the setting device S2 opens the passage, so that the trains 1 and 2 are opened. Are electrically disconnected as shown in FIG. 2 (f). As a result, the setter S2 sends out the allocation start data (for example, address 10H, data 40H) to the train 1.

At the time when the opening is established by the setting device S2 described above, the power supply to the train 2 is stopped.
Is set so that the inverter I4 controlled by the setting S4 operates, and power is supplied from the inverter I4.

Next, when the front / rear switch D3 connected to the setter S3 is switched from the middle position to the front or rear position, the setter S3 is switched to the second position.
As shown in FIG. 7 (g), the opening is started and the allocation start data (for example, address 10H, data 40H) is sent out. Thereafter, the row 1 and the train 2 are divided into two as shown in FIG. 2 (h).

In this way, when connection or disconnection is performed,
Since the allocation data is transmitted, the change in the formation is automatically recognized, and the new car number is recognized.If this recognition result is displayed on the display, the driver or conductor can determine the new number of connected vehicles in the formation. Can be identified.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the car number is recognized in the order of each vehicle, and the formation is recognized when the formation is switched. Therefore, if this recognition result is displayed in a driver's cab or the like, the number of connections and the formation configuration Has the effect of being able to monitor
