Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for detecting the occupancy or free state of a track section by means of a track circuit, in the center of which a transmission signal is fed and from the end at least one detection signal is coupled out.
  • a transmitter generates a transmission signal, which is transmitted via the track circuit, which represents the track section, to a receiver, wherein the receiver interprets the transmission signal.
  • the transmitters are provided approximately in the middle of the track section and receivers are provided at the two ends of the track section.
  • a transmission signal is set at the transmitter such that the receiver can recognize the transmission signal generated by the transmitter.
  • a significant influence on the setting parameters and the maximum length of the track section has the ballast resistance of the track. This can change during operation in a very large area, for example by a factor of 100.
  • the monitoring of larger track areas, which go beyond the maximum lengths is usually realized by the juxtaposition of multiple track circuits or by using other track monitoring devices, such as axle counters.
  • the presence of a rail vehicle in the track section is revealed by the fact that the receiver for a defined No or weaker signal from the transmitter is received. So that the transmission signals can be well recognized by the receiver with free track section, a high transmission voltage and thus a high transmission current is desirable. However, an excessively high transmission signal leads to the fact that the receiver could detect correct transmission signals even in the presence of a rail vehicle in the track section and thus would not detect the busy condition of the track section. The maximum length of the track section, in which reliable monitoring of the occupancy state is possible, is therefore limited.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus for detecting the busy or free state of a track section, which allow safe monitoring for longer track sections.
  • the object is achieved in that the track circuit is divided over half its length overlapping sections and that the transmission signal is fed centrally into that section into which a rail vehicle enters, coupled from both ends of the subsection detection signals or via adjacent sections be forwarded to the track circuit ends and decoupled there.
  • a device for carrying out the method is characterized according to claim 5, characterized in that the track circuit is composed of a plurality of over half its length overlapping sections, which end transmitter / receiver means for coupling the detection signal or forwarding of the detection signals to the track circuit ends and there decoupling in each case the central and an end-side transceiver device are common to the overlapping sections.
  • the track circuit can be composed of any number of overlapping subsections, a multiplication of the maximum length of the track section which can be monitored with a single track circuit can be achieved in comparison with the known solution. In this case, the principle of operation relating to free and busy message remain unchanged.
  • the evaluation signal to be evaluated can either be decoupled directly from the sections or forwarded via the transmitter / receiver devices to the track circuit end and decoupled there.
  • the evaluation of the detection signal namely the determination of whether the track section is free or occupied, usually takes place in a signal box. For each track circuit only an evaluation of the decoupled detection signals must be performed.
  • the track sections can be better adapted to signal distances or block lengths, resulting in maintenance and cost benefits.
  • the detection signals are used as a switching criterion for the successive activation of the subsections.
  • the detection signal according to claim 6 is supplied to a control device, which is preferably located in the interlocking.
  • the control device is used for forwarding the transmitter / receiver devices functioning as transmitters in a fixed sequence to each other Places of the track.
  • the free and busy information of the two acting as a receiver transmitter / receiver devices of each subsection form the necessary switching criteria.
  • FIG. 1 exemplifies three track circuits 1a, 1b, 1c, each consisting of a centrally located transmitter 2 and two end receivers 3.
  • the track circuit 4 is divided into over half of its length overlapping sections 6.
  • the sections 6 have substantially the same length.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the sequence of a train passage from the entrance of a first axis 7 in the track circuit 4 to the exit of a last axis 8 from the track circuit 4 in a direction indicated by an arrow 7 direction.
  • the individual destinations of the first axis 7 are shown in the flowcharts 1) to 12), while the flowcharts 13) and 14) show the last axis 8 and the flowchart 15) represents the idle state.
  • the first axis 7 of the rail vehicle is retracted into the track circuit 4. This entrance is detected by the first section 6 active is.
  • the first transmitter / receiver device 5 of the track circuit 4 as a receiver E1
  • the second transmitter / receiver device 5 as a transmitter S
  • the third transmitter / receiver device as a second receiver E2
  • the first receiver E1 reports at 1.) and 2.) the busy condition of the track circuit 4 to the interlocking.
  • the first axis 7 is not yet in the effective range transmitter S - second receiver E2, so that the second receiver E2 generates a detection signal that characterizes the free state. Symbolically, a free-reporting detection signal is shown by an arrow up and a busy reporting detection signal by an arrow down, these detection signals are assigned to each of the receivers E1 and E2.
  • the first axis 7 is so close to the transmitter S, that both receivers E1 and E2 are in the effective range and thus report both receivers E1 and E2 busy.
  • This double busy message is the switching criterion for the forwarding of the sections 6.
  • a not shown and usually located in a signal box control device switches the transmitter / receiver devices 5 such that the transmitter S according to 3.) to the receiver E1 according to 4.) and the second receiver E2 according to 3) to the transmitter S according to 4).
  • the new transmitter S subsequent transmitter / receiver device 5 is switched as a new receiver E2.
  • At 4.) reports E1 busy and E2 free.
  • FIG. 4 shows a procedure for a check-up of all components of the track circuit 4 during the free state in the same representation as FIG. 3 , In this case, not the busy message of the two receivers E1 and E2 but their free message is used as a washerschaltkriterium. This test is preferably provided at regular intervals, for example once an hour.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the monitoring of the free state of the track circuit 4, which is performed permanently until a next Glas barnfahrt takes place.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 5 only one end of the track circuit 4 is monitored, which is sufficient if the track section can only be passed in one direction or if it is known that the next train passage will take place in the direction indicated by the arrow 9 direction.
