Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pneumatic tube logistics transmission, and in particular relates to a pneumatic tube logistics transmission system with blocking point detection and a blocking point detection method. Background Art

[0002] The pneumatic tube logistics transmission system is a collection of current communication, optomechanical and electrical integration technologies. It connects each floor and each unit in a building or between buildings through one or more closed PVC pipes. By storing materials in transmission bottles and using the gas flowing in the pipes as power to push the transmission bottles along the pipes, long-distance transportation of various materials can be achieved. This technology has the advantages of fast transportation speed, low environmental pollution, and a wide range of material applications. It is widely used in medical, warehouse storage, commercial buildings and other fields.

[0003] At present, since the pipelines of pneumatic logistics systems are usually very complicated, with many branches and turning bends, the transmission bottle may be blocked somewhere in the pipeline due to various reasons during the transmission process, such as foreign matter in the pipeline, loose cover of the transmission bottle causing friction between the cover and the inner wall of the pipeline, unreasonable transmission speed setting causing the transmission bottle to hit the pipe wall or accumulation of transmission bottles, etc., resulting in pipeline blockage. When the pipeline is blocked, the staff needs to detect the location of the blockage along the pipeline, and then disassemble the corresponding pipeline to remove the blockage. However, due to the long pipeline, complex pipeline, and overhead laying, the labor intensity is high, which makes it extremely difficult to detect the blockage point, and the wrong pipeline is often disassembled. In the prior art, the percussion and listening method and the ultrasonic detection method are usually used to check for pipeline blockages. Among them, the percussion and listening method mainly involves knocking on the pipeline, and the staff determines the location of the blockage based on experience. For the complex pipeline loops of the pneumatic logistics system, the inspection workload is huge, and the method is easily affected by external interference.

[0037] Continue to refer Figure 1The transmission pipeline 4 of the pneumatic logistics transmission system with blockage detection is composed of a plurality of PVC elbows and PVC straight pipes.

[0039] Furthermore, the present invention proposes a blocking point detection method according to a pneumatic tube logistics transmission system with blocking point detection, comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1, the main controller 100 collects the linear speed data and the inclination data of the transport bottle before it is blocked in the transport pipe 4 through the first motion processing sensor 101 and the second motion processing sensor 102, and stores the linear speed data and the inclination data in the memory 104, the main controller 100 records the transportation time data of the transport bottle through the timer 103, and writes the transportation time data into the memory 104, the main controller 100 obtains the location information by reading the RFID chip and writes it into the memory 104, the location information includes the spatial coordinates of the starting workstation 3 of the transport bottle, and the main controller 100 sends the linear speed data, the inclination data, the transportation time data and the spatial coordinates of the starting workstation 3 in the memory 104 to the second wireless communication module for reception through the first wireless communication module 105;

[0041] S2, the second wireless communication module sends the received linear velocity data, inclination data, transportation time data and the spatial coordinates of the starting workstation 3 to the path drawing software on the laptop computer through USB, and the path drawing software calculates the movement path of the transport bottle before the transport pipeline 4 is blocked according to the inclination data, linear velocity data, transportation time data and the coordinates of the starting workstation of the transport bottle;

[0042] S3. Number the transmission pipeline 4 and the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensors, and determine the blocking point of the transmission bottle according to the point on the transmission pipeline 4 where the last diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor passed by the transmission bottle before the transmission pipeline 4 is blocked, combined with the movement path and the pipeline drawing of the pneumatic logistics transmission system.

[0043] Specifically, in step S2, the calculation formula of the motion path is:

[0044]

[0045] Wherein, L1 and L2 are the motion paths corresponding to the data collected by the first motion processing sensor 101 and the second motion processing sensor 102, t0 is the time when the transmission bottle starts to move, t n v is the time when the carrier is blocked and stops running, x1 、v y1 、v z1 are the linear velocities of the transport bottle in the x, y, and z axis directions collected by the first motion processing sensor 101, v x2 、v y2 、v z2 are the linear velocities of the transport bottle in the x, y, and z axes directions collected by the second motion processing sensor 102, ∝1, β1, and γ1 are the inclination angles of the transport bottle relative to the x, y, and z axes collected by the first motion processing sensor 101, and ∝2, β2, and γ2 are the inclination angles of the transport bottle relative to the x, y, and z axes collected by the second motion processing sensor 102.

[0046] Specifically, when a bottle blockage occurs in the transmission pipeline 4, the regional control board 14 records the number of the last diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor passed by the transmission bottle and the number of the transmission pipeline 4 where the bottle is located. The laptop computer of the path description system establishes communication with the server 8 through the wireless network to obtain the number of the last diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor passed by the transmission bottle and the number of the transmission pipeline 4 where the bottle is located. The operation and maintenance personnel obtain the approximate range of the bottle blockage point in the transmission pipeline 4 in combination with the pipeline drawing of the pneumatic logistics transmission system. The operation and maintenance personnel arrive at the area where the bottle blockage point occurs. The operation and maintenance personnel control the second wireless communication module to establish communication with the first wireless communication module 105 by operating the path description software. After the communication is established, the path description software is operated to read the movement path instruction of the transmission bottle. The first wireless communication module 105 sends the movement path instruction to the main controller 100. The main controller 100 sends the inclination data, linear speed data, transportation time data and coordinates of the starting work station stored in the memory 104 to the second wireless communication module through the first wireless communication module 105. The second wireless communication module then transmits the path description software on the laptop computer through the USB serial port. The path description software receives the data based on the data. According to these data, the motion paths L1 and L2 are calculated, and the points are drawn one by one in the three-dimensional space coordinates and displayed. The path drawing software communicates with the server 8 through the wireless network to obtain the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor detection signals at the head end and the tail end of the PVC straight pipe of the transmission pipeline 4 collected by the regional control board 14, and simplifies the motion paths L1 and L2. When the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensors at the head end and the tail end of the PVC straight pipe detect that the transport bottle has passed, the motion path before this section can be omitted, thereby simplifying the motion path and saving the computing resources of the computer system. The staff can quickly locate the blocking point of the transmission pipeline through the motion paths L1 and L2, and maintain the faulty pipeline in time, thereby reducing the time for troubleshooting the pipeline blocking point and improving the operation and maintenance efficiency of the transmission pipeline 4. Furthermore, since the motion paths L1 and L2 are the motion data of the transmission bottle collected by the first motion processing sensor 101 and the second motion processing sensor 102 respectively, the motion paths L1 and L2 can be fitted into a motion path L for display. The motion path L of the transmission bottle before the bottle blocking occurs in the transmission pipeline 4 drawn by the path drawing software is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the transmission bottle is blocked at point d of the transmission pipeline 4, the coordinates of point d are (15, 22, 31), and the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor near this section of the transmission pipeline 4 is numbered g52.
