MOBILE TEST-COMPUTING COMPLEX FOR MEASURING PARAMETERS OF WEAR OF RAIL HEAD Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: railway transport; adaptation of railways to electric traction. SUBSTANCE: proposed test-computing complex contains matrix eddy current converter, rigid technological base of movable means, processing circuit coupled by its input with output of matrix converter, manipulator with power unit and gripping device, control panel whose output is connected with input of manipulator power unit and matrix converter memory and data readout device connected by input to output of processing circuit. Housing of matrix converter is hinge-connected to technological base by brackets and hinge-connected to manipulator gripping device by tie-rods. Processing circuit is provided with second and third inputs, and control panel, with second and third outputs. Complex is furnished additionally with second and third manipulators with gripping devices and power units connected by their inputs with second and third outputs of control panel, and with second and third eddy current converters of clearances coupled by their outputs with second and third inputs of processing circuit and arranged in the same cross section of rail as first matrix converter. Housing of second and third clearance converters are hinge fastened on technological through independent brackets and hinge-connected to gripping devices of second and third manipulators. EFFECT: improved reliability of checking of parameters of rail head side wear. 1 dwg
