On February 17, the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, the passenger flow of Chuzhou North Railway Station reached twice as much as usual. "Jingle bell" - a series of crisp electric bells ring, urging travelers wandering on the platform to board the train as soon as possible.

Thanks to 'Station Edison', we don't have to run back and forth on the platform during the Spring Festival this year, and we can ring the bell at the 'pinch point'! On platform 3 of Chuzhou North Railway Station, Lv Fayu, the passenger attendant, shook the "gadget" in his hand to the reporter - the electric bell joint control remote control.

The "station Edison" in Lu Fayu's mouth is Yang Tao, deputy director of the passenger workshop of Bengbu Station. Yang Tao is 47 years old this year, although he is middle-aged, but his hobby of inventing and creating has not fallen at all. The "gadgets" in Lu Fayu's hands are the results of Yang Tao's technological transformation in November last year. In the 2024 Spring Festival, this "gadget" has been promoted and used in the four existing cable passenger stations of Bengbu Station.

It turned out that Yang Tao found in his work that the station platform bell switches were set in the middle of the platform. Previously, in order to ensure the work requirement of "the general speed train rings the bell 1 minute before the intermediate station starts", the platform staff must run back and forth on the platform and "pinch the point" to ring the bell, which not only consumes physical strength, but also may affect other ongoing platform operations.

If the platform bell is like a remote control electric **, how convenient it would be! Yang Tao pondered for three or four days, and began to transform the existing physical electric bell switch into a remote wireless remote control switch, and integrated the remote control of the seven platforms in the passenger workshop, one for each platform staff, which not only ensured the work needs of the platform to ring the bell on time, but also reduced the workload of the platform personnel.

Yang Tao's journey of invention began 10 years ago. When he was on duty in the passenger workshop of Bengbu Station, he often saw some passengers unconsciously walking to the end of both ends of the platform, which was very dangerous and could easily cause personal safety accidents. In order to eliminate the "safety blind spot" of the platform, Yang Tao bought solar panels, wires, controllers and other materials, and manually modified the diffuse reflection infrared warning device to prevent passengers from crossing the platform, and placed them at both ends of the platform in the passenger workshop. When a passenger approaches, the infrared system emits a voice prompt: "You have entered the danger zone. ”

Since then, Yang Tao's inventions and creations have been out of control: from the early warning device to prevent passengers from crossing the platform, to the emergency train number plate, walkie-talkie direct broadcast system, to the recent voice reminder of security equipment, remote control of the electric bell on the platform, and the ...... of the anti-skid platform for security checkIn this way, Yang Tao has become an out-and-out "station Edison" in the eyes of his colleagues.

Behind every small invention and small transformation is Yang Tao's enthusiasm and hard work. Finding problems in the production line, using technological transformation to improve efficiency, and then optimizing the travel experience of passengers is the original intention of this "station Edison" to invent and create. "When the work is present, someone has to solve the problem. I believe that there are more solutions than difficulties! Yang Tao said.
