Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for transmitting a status signal Traffic control device on a vehicle, in which the Status signal of the traffic control device by a electrical circuit, in particular a relay circuit, is adjustable and by means of a transmission unit on the Vehicle is transferable.
  • Such a device is used today, for example standard for transferring the state of a Light signal used on a locomotive. In doing so currently i.a. known under the names "SIGNUM” and "ZUB 121" Systems used. Both systems are point-like Train protection systems and are often operated redundantly. With these systems, status signals of the Light signal, such as "drive”, “warning” and “stop”, on the Locomotive or on a pushing locomotive Transfer control vehicle.
  • ETCS European Train Control System
  • the ETCS When transmitting the status signal of the light signal the ETCS requires punctiform transmission modules that are used as so-called EURO balises are called.
  • the electrical required for this process Energy is generated by one of the locomotive or the high-frequency magnetic field radiated to the control vehicle provided. This emitted in the form of a beam
  • the HF field has a frequency of 27 MHz according to the ETCS specification.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to specify a device that a change of Train influence on the ETCS system Train control devices, which are usually still today Light signals are made possible at low cost.
  • This task is a device of the aforementioned Art solved according to the invention in that in a loop, in which the electrical circuit and the transmission unit are arranged, means are provided by means of which Voltage pulses in a periodic sequence over the contacts of the electrical circuit can be applied.
  • the preferred traffic influencing device here is one Suitable light signal that controls a rail vehicle.
  • the transmission unit in one to a track bed arranged train control module integrate.
  • the Lighting circuit only one for safety reasons allows very low power consumption, which is therefore only in an area that may be considered negligible against the Power consumption of the illuminant viewed in the light signal can be.
  • the tension lies in the Luminous circuit at around 35 V during the bright hours of the day and turns on at about 28 V at night to avoid Glare lowered.
  • the im decreases accordingly Illuminant current flowing at night operation of about 475 mA about 370 mA.
  • An unproblematic for safety reasons therefore, one-percent power consumption only provides one electrical power of about 166 mW or about 104 mW.
  • Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the structure of a device for transmitting a status signal ZS to a locomotive L.
  • the job of the device is the condition of a signal S, i.e. the setting of the signal S, particularly reliable and while maintaining today usual signal circuits to the locomotive L. transfer.
  • a relay circuit RS serves to provide the status signal ZS a relay circuit RS, on the signal settings K1a, K1b, K2a and K2b can be switched.
  • this Relay circuit RS are in the present embodiment Signal terms such as “drive”, “warning” and “stop”, in electrically comparable in a comparator K and thus for the further logical implementation of recordable data is changeable.
  • a data D is therefore present at the output of the comparator K in a subsequent decoder DCD in Transmitted telegram ST and sent to a transmission unit TU is transmitted.
  • the transmission unit TU is in a EURO-Balise EB serving as a transmission module integrated.
  • the EURO-Balise EB becomes the real thing State signal ZS of the light signal S on request of Locomotive L by the permanent blasting of a locomotive 27 MHz RF beam without contact to the L locomotive transmitted.
  • Logic power supply For the logical processing of the signal settings K1a, K1b, K2a and K2b will require electrical power a DC voltage supply, hereinafter referred to as Logic power supply named LDC, taken.
  • This electrical Logic power LDC power does not come from the 27 MHz RF beam the locomotive L, but is used in the present Embodiment of all lighting circuits SK des Light signal S taken. This is done on everyone SK light circuit is a high-impedance and therefore signal technology safe voltage tap AAC, but only in Figure 1 for a light circuit LS is shown.
  • the Tapped voltage is subsequently in a filter F filtered, then in a rectifier G rectified and fed to a charging capacitor C.
  • the voltage tap AAC only on one or several, but not all SK light circuits can be provided.
  • the advantage of the AAC voltage tap on all SK light circuits is simply that The fact that at least one lighting circuit SK des Light signal has voltage and therefore always one continuous power consumption is enabled.
  • This Voltage pulse SP can, for example, at a distance of 1 to 30 minutes.
  • the frequency of delivery of the voltage pulse SP depends on present embodiment of the state of charge of a Energy storage ES for the logic supply LDC.
  • Analogous to this constellation is a switch US from the application of voltage pulses SP to the LDC logic supply switched when the EURO-Balise EB from the HF radiation lobe of the locomotive L is detected and thus to the logic in the form of an "attention signal" the command sends, now immediately the current signal state SZ to the To have to transfer locomotive L.
  • An energy supply would be an alternative to this described voltage tap AAC on the lighting circuits LS also coupled with a battery if necessary Solar cell possible, which simplify the construction even further would, however, an additional service and Monitoring effort for the safe functioning of the battery and possibly solar cell would entail.
  • the decisive factor is the replacement of one by one a moving locomotive L using a permanent magnet induced voltage pulse for deep-free frying switched contacts to achieve their Low impedance through the realized according to the invention periodic voltage pulse output, which is independent of the Locomotive L and for example by a periodic Discharge of a capacitor is generated. This even ensures that the contacts continue to have low resistance be held when the locomotive L before the light signal S must stop and, for example, for a long time above the EURO balise EB stands. Even that of a subsequent one Route approval switched to free travel contact in the Relay circuit RS is through the periodic Low-impedance voltage pulse output. A little longer Remaining of the locomotive L before the light signal S until next voltage breakdown on a possibly higher impedance Contact is manageable without security risk.
  • Figure 2 shows a block diagram in addition to Figure 1 of a device according to FIG. 1, in addition to FIG. 1 for mixed operation of the old SIGNUM system and the new system ETCS is trained.
  • the same reference numerals used for the same components, the same reference numerals used.
  • the heart of the SIGNUM system is two pairs of coils S1a, S1b and S2a, S2b.
  • the coils S1a and S2a are on the track side and the coils S1b and S2b installed on the locomotive side.
  • the Signal state LS is now on the in two ways Transfer locomotive LK.
  • the coil S1b designed as a permanent magnet Voltage pulse in the coil S1a, whose output with the current signal term is connected in terms of relays.
  • the one with The voltage pulse encoded signal information is now on placed the input of the coil S2a, which in turn one with the Signal information provided pulse in the locomotive-side coil S2b induced back.
  • an oscillator OZ is used to trigger the the signal information pulse via a galvanic Separation GT and a surge protection P in the ETCS environment fed.
  • an oscillator OZ is used to trigger the the signal information pulse via a galvanic Separation GT and a surge protection P in the ETCS environment fed.
  • the Device according to the invention in any other designed traffic control devices, such as lights for trams, even for controlling Road vehicles can be used.
