Abstract

As the key components of electrified railway power supply, pantograph has complex electrical and mechanical effects while working, resulting in a high fault ratio. It is important to detect the defects timely to guarantee the safety of the railway system. Manual detection is the most common detection at present, which is high in accuracy but low in efficiency. Another automatic detection system is limited in function or poor in accuracy. In this paper, deep learning method is used for defects recognition of pantograph slide plate to the identification and classification of different types of defects. Through a large number of experiments and parameters optimizing, the innovated proposed in this paper can reach an accuracy rate of 90.625% used to identify a variety of different defects. This provides an alternative for pantograph slide plate defect identification.
