The invention discloses a double-band imaging
discharge detector for a high-speed
train, and an application method of the double-band imaging
discharge detector. The
detector comprises a visible light lens, a visible light camera, an
ultraviolet lens, an
ultraviolet camera, and a
processing and control board, and a power board. The detector is installed behind a
pantograph of the roof of a locomotive. The visible light camera matched with the visible light lens obtains visible light background images of the
pantograph and an
overhead line system in front of the locomotive, and transmits the images to the
processing and control board. The
ultraviolet camera matched with the ultraviolet lens and a filter obtains the ultraviolet target images of the
pantograph and the
overhead line system in front of the locomotive, and transmits the images to the
processing and control board. The processing and control board carries out the
image processing, and judges whether the key parts of the pantograph and the
overhead line system perform
partial discharge and whether the pantograph and the overhead line system generate arcs or not, and carries out the positioning and displaying of video images when the
partial discharge happens or the arcs are generated. The detector can timely find out the
partial discharge conditions, detects the arc state in real time, and reduces the unnecessary economic loss in order to guarantee the normal transportation order of the high-speed
train.
