Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of cross-integration of UWB wireless positioning, security inspection equipment and mine personnel attendance management, and specifically relates to a UWB wireless positioning security gate. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra Wideband (UWB) is a wireless carrier communication technology that uses nanosecond-level non-sinusoidal narrow pulses to transmit data. By transmitting extremely low-power signals over a wide frequency spectrum, UWB can achieve data transmission rates of hundreds of Mbit / s to several Gbit / s within a range of about 10 meters. UWB has very low transmit power; communication equipment can achieve communication with less than 1mW of transmit power. This low transmit power significantly extends the system's operating time. UWB has strong anti-interference capabilities. It uses time-hopping spread spectrum signals, resulting in a large processing gain. During transmission, it disperses weak radio pulse signals across a wide frequency band, with output power even lower than the noise generated by ordinary equipment. During reception, it recovers the signal energy, generating spreading gain during despreading. UWB has an extremely wide bandwidth, exceeding 1 GHz and reaching several GHz. Ultra-wideband systems have large capacities and can operate simultaneously with narrowband communication systems without interference.

[0003] In the field of personnel attendance management and safety inspection in mines, existing technical solutions have certain limitations. With industry development, the requirements for personnel uniqueness detection are becoming increasingly stringent, and traditional solutions are no longer sufficient to meet practical needs. Currently common actuator-based attendance solutions and UWB-TOF / TDOA / PDOA / AOA solutions have many shortcomings. The following is a comparison of the problems of these two solutions and the solutions proposed in this invention: Currently, commonly used attendance systems using actuators can only detect the presence of identification cards, failing to verify the uniqueness of personnel. This makes them prone to cheating behaviors such as multiple cards being used together and proxy attendance. Furthermore, their detection range is limited and signal coverage is uneven, potentially leading to some personnel being missed. Our solution employs UWB-RSSI positioning technology combined with biometric data collection to achieve dual verification of personnel uniqueness. By strategically deploying the antenna matrix, we expand the detection range and ensure uniform signal coverage.

[0004] UWB-TOF / TDOA / PDOA / AOA solutions are significantly affected by multipath effects, and their positioning accuracy drops significantly in densely populated or obstructed environments. Furthermore, their high system complexity and cost hinder large-scale deployment. This paper addresses multipath effects by utilizing the UWB-RSSI algorithm, which can distinguish multipath paths with short pulses and reduces fluctuations through energy integration. A multi-module integrated design further reduces system complexity and cost.

[0005] The industry's requirements for personnel uniqueness verification are becoming increasingly stringent, and traditional solutions are no longer adequate for the new safety management needs. This invention aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a high-precision, highly reliable, and cost-effective security inspection solution to meet the evolving needs of mine personnel attendance management and security inspection. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems raised in the background technology described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a UWB wireless positioning security gate. UWB wireless positioning technology, with its high precision and high anti-interference characteristics, provides reliable technical support for personnel positioning; security inspection equipment is the basic hardware for ensuring safety checks; and the attendance management of mine personnel is crucial for the efficient and orderly operation of mines. In this comprehensive field, the core technology of this invention focuses on wireless signal detection, which can accurately capture and analyze relevant signals, while simultaneously achieving deep integration of biometric information and positioning data, thereby providing a more scientific and accurate solution for mine personnel attendance and safety management.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A UWB wireless positioning security gate includes a security gate body, an attendance gate base station, a biometric information acquisition module, a switch module, and a turnstile. The attendance gate base station is composed of multiple motherboards and positioning modules. The positioning module, biometric data acquisition module, switch module, and gate are all connected to the motherboard. The positioning module is used to collect UWB-RSSI data of the identification card carried by the personnel. The biometric data acquisition module is used to collect the personnel's biometric information. The motherboard is used to process the collected data and perform uniqueness comparison. The switch module is used for data interaction. The gate controls the passage of personnel based on the comparison result of the motherboard.

[0008] Further specifying, the motherboard includes multiple radio frequency modules, each radio frequency module is externally connected to a set of antennas, the antennas are set on the main body of the security gate, the multiple antennas form an antenna matrix, the antenna matrix is ​​divided into multiple areas to expand the detection range and ensure uniform signal coverage.

[0009] Further specifying, the security gate body is equipped with either an iris scanner or a facial recognition camera, and the biometric information collection module is communicatively connected to the iris scanner or facial recognition camera to collect facial information of personnel.

[0010] Furthermore, the motherboard and the positioning module are connected via a bus for data transmission.

[0011] Furthermore, the switch module interacts with the bioinformatics acquisition module via a network to transmit the data acquired by the bioinformatics acquisition module to the motherboard.

[0012] Further, it also includes a grating module, which includes multiple grating sensors. These multiple grating sensors are respectively located at the front, back, and middle of the main body of the security gate, and are used to trigger biometric information acquisition and UWB-RSSI data acquisition.

[0013] Further, it also includes an audible and visual alarm, which is connected to the motherboard. When an abnormal situation occurs, such as multiple cards, no card being carried, or the identification card having low power, the motherboard controls the audible and visual alarm to sound an alarm.

[0014] Further, it also includes a voice broadcast module and a warning light module. The warning light module includes a warning light strip. A solid green light on the warning light strip indicates that the security gate is working normally and that passage is permitted when no one is inside or when someone is inside and has passed the detection. A solid yellow light on the warning light strip indicates that someone is inside the security gate and a uniqueness detection is being performed. A solid red light indicates an abnormal detection. An abnormal detection indicates that the infrared detection shows multiple people, biometric identification has failed, or the uniqueness detection is abnormal. When the infrared detector detects multiple people inside the door, biometric recognition fails, or a stranger is detected, or the uniqueness detection is abnormal, the warning light bar turns red and flashes, and the built-in speaker of the voice broadcast module broadcasts the abnormality. The identification card has a power reporting function. When the power of the identification card is less than 3.7V, the main board controls the voice broadcast module to broadcast a voice message, the light strip to issue a warning, and controls the gate to lock.

[0015] Furthermore, the motherboard uses the UWB-RSSI algorithm to process the data collected by the positioning module.

[0016] Further, it also includes a relay, which is connected to the main board. The main board controls the gate through the relay output and realizes the opening and closing actions of the gate through two level changes.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: Compared to traditional attendance systems using actuators, the UWB wireless positioning security gate of this invention boasts an extremely high detection accuracy rate of 99%. By combining UWB-RSSI positioning technology with dual biometric verification, it can accurately identify personnel, effectively preventing cheating behaviors such as sharing multiple cards and proxy clocking, thus providing reliable protection for attendance management in mines.

[0018] This invention has the ability to make a rapid judgment in 1 second. When personnel pass through the security gate, it can quickly collect biometric information and UWB-RSSI data, perform comparative analysis, and quickly give the detection results, which greatly improves the efficiency of personnel passage and meets the needs of rapid passage of large numbers of personnel in mines.

[0019] This invention uses a unified identification card to achieve universal card usage. Personnel only need to carry one identification card to use in different security gates and attendance scenarios, which is convenient and quick, reducing management costs and personnel burden; and it can reuse the identification card terminals currently in use in the mine, without the need to purchase additional equipment.

[0020] It is also equipped with an audible and visual alarm device, which can promptly issue an alarm when abnormal situations such as multiple cards, no card being carried, or low battery of the identification card occur, reminding staff to take action and enhancing the timeliness and effectiveness of safety management. The identification card has a power reporting function, and the system can detect the power of the identification card in real time. When the power is below 3.7V, it will issue a voice broadcast and light bar warning, lock the gate, and mark the location of the low-power card for timely handling, ensuring the safety of underground operations.

[0021] This invention is applicable to various scenarios, such as wellhead attendance, multi-channel parallel detection, low-power card interception, human body obstruction anti-interference, and direct gate control. It has strong versatility and adaptability and can meet the actual needs of different mines. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a UWB wireless positioning security gate of the present invention includes a security gate body 1, an attendance gate base station, a biometric information acquisition module 102, a switch module 104, and a gate 105. The attendance gate base station is composed of multiple motherboards 103 and positioning modules 101. The security gate body 1 has a total of four interfaces (power interface, network cable interface, fiber optic interface, and signal interface). The power interface is used for mains power access, the network cable interface is used for network data transmission, the fiber optic interface is used for fiber optic data transmission, and the signal interface is used for relay signal transmission. The security gate body 1 is made of cold-rolled steel, with dimensions of 1m×1m×2m and a weight of ≤100KG. The positioning module 101, biometric information acquisition module 102, switch module 104, and gate 105 are all connected to the motherboard 103. The positioning module 101 is used to collect UWB-RSSI data of the identification card carried by the personnel. The biometric information acquisition module 102 is used to collect the personnel's biometric information. The motherboard 103 is used to process the collected data and perform uniqueness comparison. The switch module 104 is used for data interaction. The gate 105 controls the passage of personnel according to the comparison result of the motherboard 103.

[0027] In the practical application of this embodiment, the motherboard 103 includes multiple radio frequency modules, each radio frequency module is externally connected to a set of antennas 13, the antennas 13 are disposed on the security gate body 1, the multiple antennas 13 form an antenna matrix, the antenna matrix is ​​divided into multiple areas to expand the detection range and ensure uniform signal coverage.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the mainboard 103 is connected to 12 positioning modules 101. Four positioning modules 101 form a group, and there are three groups in total. The four positioning modules 101 in each group are distinguished by a code number. Each group of four positioning modules 101 shares a 485 bus. Each security gate body 1 is equipped with two mainboards 103, with a total of 24 radio frequency modules. Each module is connected to an external antenna 13. like Figure 3 As shown, this solution uses an STM32F151 motherboard and a DW1000 RF module. After personnel enter the main body 1 of the security gate, the antenna 13 of the RF module reads the RSSI information of the positioning tags inside and outside the gate within the signal coverage area, and transmits the data to the motherboard 103 through the 485 bus. After being aggregated and processed by the motherboard 103, the data is uploaded to the server.

[0029] In the practical application of this embodiment, the security gate body 1 is equipped with either an iris scanner 15 or a face recognition camera. The biometric information collection module 102 is communicatively connected to the iris scanner 15 or the face recognition camera to collect facial information of personnel.

[0030] In the practical application of this embodiment, the motherboard 103 and the positioning module 101 are connected via a 485 bus to realize data transmission.

[0031] In the practical application of this embodiment, the switch module 104 interacts with the bioinformation acquisition module 102 via the network to transmit the data acquired by the bioinformation acquisition module 102 to the motherboard 103.

[0032] The switch module 104 typically has three 100Mbps optical ports and five 100Mbps electrical ports. Through the switch module, data from the face recognition camera or iris scanner, attendance gate base station, and voice broadcast module can be exchanged with the upper-level server. In this system, the security gate body 1 generally uses five 100Mbps electrical ports.

[0033] In the practical application of this embodiment, a grating module is also included. The grating module includes multiple grating sensors 14, which are respectively located at the front, back and middle of the security gate body 1, and are used to trigger biometric information acquisition and UWB-RSSI data acquisition.

[0034] In the practical application of this embodiment, an audible and visual alarm 11 is also included. The audible and visual alarm 11 is connected to the motherboard 103. When an abnormal situation occurs, such as multiple cards, no card, or low battery of the identification card, the motherboard 103 controls the audible and visual alarm 11 to sound an alarm.

[0035] In practical applications of this embodiment, a voice broadcast module and a warning light module are also included. The warning light module includes a warning light strip 12. A solid green light on the warning light strip 12 indicates that the security gate body 1 is working normally and that passage is permitted when no one is inside the gate or when someone is inside and has passed through the detection. A solid yellow light on the warning light strip 12 indicates that someone is inside the security gate body 1 and a uniqueness detection is being performed. A solid red light indicates a detection anomaly. An anomaly indicates that the infrared detection shows multiple people, biometric identification has failed, or the uniqueness detection is abnormal. The alarm content can be configured through the upper-level software. Other alarm types and settings are summarized as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0036] When the infrared detector detects multiple people inside the door, biometric recognition fails, or a stranger is detected, or the uniqueness detection is abnormal, the warning light strip 12 turns red and flashes, and the built-in speaker of the voice broadcast module broadcasts an abnormality. Among them, the uniqueness detection indicates that a person is carrying multiple cards, not carrying a card, carrying the wrong card, or a card with low battery. The identification card has a power reporting function. When the power of the identification card is less than 3.7V, the main board 103 controls the voice broadcast module to broadcast a voice message, the light strip to issue a warning, and controls the gate 105 to lock.

[0037] In the practical application of this embodiment, the motherboard 103 uses the UWB-RSSI algorithm to process the data collected by the positioning module 101.

[0038] In practical applications of this embodiment, a relay is also included. The relay is connected to the main board 103. The main board 103 controls the gate 105 through the relay output and realizes the opening and closing actions of the gate 105 through two level changes.

[0039] The working principle and functions of this solution are as follows: 1. Unique identification of person and card: Determine whether the identification card is inside the door by using location data, compare the information of the identification card inside the door with the information of the collected face, and compare the two parts of information; The specific logic is as follows: Each attendance base station has 12 radio frequency modules coded from 0 to 11, and the antennas 13 of these 12 radio frequency modules are positioned on the product. The space inside and around the door is divided into four areas: in front of the door, behind the door, inside the door, and outside the door by 24 antennas. When personnel enter the door wearing identification cards, all positioning data received by the security gate body 1 from the moment of entry to the two seconds prior to the entry point is collected while biometric information is being collected. It is stipulated that if more than 50% of the data within the two seconds is from inside the door, the identification card is actually located inside the door. Assuming the collected biometric information is converted into personnel identification information A based on the entered information, and the access card is converted into personnel identification information B based on the entered information, if information A and information B match, then the identification card worn by the person is considered to be their own identification card. Based on the comparison of information A and information B, the following situations exist: If A=B and there are no other identification cards / people inside the door, the uniqueness test passes. If A≠B and there are no other identification cards / people inside the door, it is determined that the wrong card was brought; if A=B and there are other identification cards inside the door, it is determined that one person is carrying multiple cards; if A=B or A≠B and there are other people inside the door, it is determined that there are multiple people inside the door; if there is A but no B, it is determined that the positioning card was not carried. When there are multiple people inside the door: The optical grating module is used to detect whether there are multiple people inside the door. There are three sets of infrared emitters: front, inside, and back. In a complete door passage process, the three sets of optical grating modules should complete a signal on / off cycle in sequence. Based on the on / off status of the three sets of optical grating modules, the following judgments can be made: If the three sets of optical grating modules should complete a signal on / off cycle in sequence: then the person inside the door is considered normal. If the signal on / off cycle is completed at the front of the door, and then the signal inside the door is disconnected, and the signal at the front of the door is disconnected again: then there are multiple people inside the door. (The main structure of the security gate is designed so that only one person is allowed to be detected inside the door at a time).

[0040] 2. Direct Control of the Turnstile: The attendance gate base station directly controls the turnstile 105 via a relay output. From the data link perspective, after the attendance system determines that the underlying logic meets the opening requirements, it sends an opening command to the attendance gate base station. The attendance gate base station then changes the level of its output twice to open and close the turnstile 105. 3. Low battery alarm function: The identification card has its own power reporting function. When the system analyzes that the power of the identification card inside the door is <3.7V, the system issues a broadcast command to warn that the identification card is in a low battery state.

[0041] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
