Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of subway technology, specifically to an intelligent guidance robot for handling large passenger flows in subways. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, intelligent passenger flow guidance technology for subway stations is mainly built around a three-layer architecture of passenger flow perception, data processing, and dynamic guidance. The perception layer mainly uses equipment such as AI video cameras, infrared array sensors, and platform ground pressure sensors to capture data such as passenger flow density, queue length, and movement speed in real time in ticket gates, transfer channels, and platform waiting areas. This data is then quickly analyzed using edge computing nodes or cloud big data platforms to identify congested areas and passenger flow trends, such as morning peak tidal passenger flow and sudden passenger flow at transfer nodes. The data processing layer relies on the historical passenger flow database of the subway operation system and uses machine learning algorithms to predict short-term passenger flow changes, providing a basis for guidance strategies. The guidance execution layer mainly uses intelligent dynamic guidance screens to display queue times and available channel information at each ticket gate in real time, ground laser projection guidance, zoned intelligent broadcasting systems, and simple AGV guidance robots. These AGV guidance robots have voice reminders and basic path guidance capabilities to achieve passenger flow management. Some advanced technologies also link with the train dispatching system to adjust guidance priorities according to train arrival and departure times, such as strengthening guidance from the waiting area to the ticket gate when a train is about to arrive.
[0003] However, overall, existing technologies still have certain limitations. Most guidance devices operate independently and lack deep collaboration in perception, processing, and guidance. For example, after a video camera detects congestion, the guidance screen needs to be manually adjusted. Furthermore, some technologies have limited functions, AGV guidance robots lack physical isolation and anti-drilling design, and have limited adaptability to complex platform layouts, making it difficult to fully realize automated guidance across all scenarios.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0019] 1. The subway station interior is monitored by surveillance cameras. When congestion is detected in the ticket checking area, the cameras send a signal to the main control cabinet. The second motor drives the rotating frame to rotate to the rear on top of the moving base. The first motor drives the pulley in the belt assembly to rotate the belt, causing the belt to drive the moving base to move backward to a designated position. The second electric telescopic rod drives one end of the connecting rod to move backward, which in turn drives the mounting shaft to rotate, causing the mounting shaft to drive the two side slot seats to rotate from vertical to horizontal. The third electric telescopic rod extends and drives the first rotating arm to rotate outward inside the slot seat. The fourth electric telescopic rod extends and drives the second rotating arm to rotate outward inside the other end of the first rotating arm. With the cooperation of the first and second rotating arms, a space is created in front of the first AGV robot. The first AGV robot moves along a predetermined route, and the audible and visual alarms provide alerts. With the cooperation of the left and right deflection components, the congested crowd is separated, reserving space for the subsequent blocking mechanism.
[0020] 2. The second AGV robot follows the first AGV robot. The linear motor drives the slot shell to rotate upward to a horizontal position inside the vertical mounting frame. The fifth electric telescopic rod drives the telescopic frame to extend from the inner cavity of the vertical mounting frame to a predetermined length. The magnetic module magnetically connects with the top front of the vertical mounting frame in another blocking mechanism, so that two adjacent blocking mechanisms form a barrier to divide the ticket gate into multiple channels. Passengers pass through the channels to check tickets and enter the station in sequence. The third motor drives the connecting tube disc to rotate under the action of the transmission chain assembly. The connecting tube disc unwinds the internally wound blocking unit until the pneumatic suction cup contacts the ground. The micro air pump, through the cooperation of the hose in the blocking unit, makes the pneumatic suction cup adsorb and fix it to the ground. The third motor rotates in the opposite direction and drives the connecting tube disc to rewind the blocking unit under the transmission chain assembly, so that the hose and reinforcing armor inside the blocking unit are tightened. In this way, several blocking units form a vertical barrier under the telescopic frame to prevent passengers from passing under the telescopic frame and affecting the passage order.
[0021] By enabling intelligent collaboration, dynamic adaptation, and full-scenario protection, the number of passageways can be flexibly adjusted according to passenger flow and platform layout, transforming from the original single guidance to full-link protection. It integrates physical isolation and sound and light reminders, providing a feasible technical solution for the efficient and safe operation of subway transportation hubs. It is suitable for the large passenger flow management needs of subways in megacities during peak hours and has broad promotional value. Attached Figure Description

[0036] As a preferred option, further, such as Figure 8As shown, the barrier unit 8 includes: a protective layer 81, a flexible hose 82, and a reinforcing armor 83; the protective layer 81 is located on the outermost part of the barrier unit 8, and the protective layer 81 is made of PVC anti-scratch tape; the flexible hose 82 is located on the inner side of the protective layer 81, and the two ends of the flexible hose 82 are connected to the air outlet of the connecting coil 72 and the pneumatic suction cup 76, respectively; the reinforcing armor 83 is wrapped around the outside of the flexible hose 82 in the circumferential direction, and the reinforcing armor 83 is made of aramid braided tape, with fine steel wires embedded in the center of the braided tape, and is spirally wound around the outer circumference of the flexible hose 82 with equal pitch to form a continuous tensile network to avoid local stress breakage.
[0037] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows:
[0038] Step 1: Monitoring camera 3 captures real-time data on crowd density, queue length, and pedestrian movement speed in the ticket checking area. When the detected data exceeds a threshold, a congestion alarm is triggered. Monitoring camera 3 packages the data, including congestion location and severity, and sends it to the main control cabinet 2. Upon receiving the signal, the main control cabinet 2 triggers its internal pre-set program, prioritizing the sending of a start command to the guiding mechanism 5 to activate the first AGV robot 51. The charging compartment 4 where the first AGV robot 51 is located responds synchronously, automatically disconnecting the charging interface and unlocking the door limit latches to ensure unobstructed movement of the first AGV robot 51. After the first AGV robot 51 completely leaves the charging compartment, the charging compartment 4 automatically closes its door and enters standby mode, waiting for subsequent equipment to return to its position. Once the first AGV robot 51 leaves the charging compartment, its built-in program starts, sequentially controlling the second motor 511, the first motor 59, the second electric telescopic rod 514, the third electric telescopic rod 518, the second rotating arm 519, and the audible and visual alarm 512 according to preset logic. The second motor 511 drives the rotating frame 510 to rotate backward on top of the movable base 57 until the rotating frame 510 faces the ticket inspection area. Then, the first motor 59 starts... The first electric telescopic rod 514 extends, causing the driving pulley in the belt assembly 58 to rotate. This drives the driven pulley via the belt drive in the belt assembly 58, causing the movable base 57 connected to the top of the belt to slide backward along the outer side of the tank housing 55. The second electric telescopic rod 514 extends, pushing one end of the connecting rod 515 backward. The other end of the connecting rod 515 drives the mounting shaft 513 to rotate around the bearing seat, causing the tank seats 516 at both ends of the mounting shaft 513 to rotate from their initial vertical state to a horizontal state parallel to the ground. The third electric telescopic rod 518 extends, pushing the first rotating arm 517 in the tank... The inner side of the body base 516 rotates outward, the fourth electric telescopic rod 520 extends, and pushes the second rotating arm 519 to rotate outward on the inner side of the other end of the first rotating arm 517. The first rotating arm 517 and the second rotating arm 519 cooperate to unfold, forming a buffer space in front of the first AGV robot 51. The first AGV robot 51 moves slowly along the preset route. At the same time, the sound and light alarm 512 is activated, and the warning light is combined with the voice prompt. Under the guidance of physical isolation and sound and light reminders, the congested crowd will gradually be diverted to both sides, preparing for the subsequent blocking mechanism 6 to build an isolation channel.
[0039] Step 2: As the guiding mechanism 5 begins to segment the crowd, the pre-programmed program inside the main control cabinet 2 simultaneously sends a start command to all blocking mechanisms 6, activating the second AGV robot 61. The charging compartment 4 where the second AGV robot 61 is located automatically disconnects the charging interface and unlocks the compartment door. After the AGV moves out, the compartment door closes and it goes into standby mode. After the second AGV robot 61 moves out, it obtains the position and movement trajectory of the first AGV robot 51 through real-time wireless communication and follows it. When the first AGV robot 51 stops at the starting point of the channel and sends a space ready signal, the second AGV robot 61 moves to its corresponding channel setup position and then starts... The system activates its built-in program and controls the linear motor 64, the fifth electric telescopic rod 66, the magnetic module 69, the third motor 73, and the micro air pump 75 to start. The linear motor 64 extends, pushing the slot housing 63 to rotate upward around the pivot at the top inner side of the vertical mounting frame 62 until the slot housing 63 is in a horizontal position. At this time, the direction of the slot housing 63 is consistent with the queuing direction of the ticket gate, preparing for the subsequent extension of the barrier. The fifth electric telescopic rod 66 extends, and the telescopic frame 65 extends forward along the inner cavity of the slot housing 63. The magnetic module 69 on the rear side of its inner cavity is energized and activated, and the top front side of the vertical mounting frame 62 of the adjacent barrier mechanism 6 is activated. After precisely engaging with the magnetic module 69, two adjacent blocking mechanisms 6 are joined together to form a complete barrier. Multiple blocking mechanisms 6 are connected sequentially in this process, ultimately creating multiple independent channels at the ticket gate. Passengers can queue along these channels to enter the station, avoiding congestion caused by passengers from different channels weaving through each other. To prevent passengers from crawling under the barrier, the third motor 73 drives one sprocket of the transmission chain assembly 74 to rotate. Under the transmission of the chain in the transmission chain assembly 74 and the sprocket on the other side, the connecting tube disc 72 rotates. The spirally wound barrier unit 8 on the outside of the connecting tube disc 72 is then unwound until the pneumatic suction cup 76 at the end of the barrier unit 8 is completely in contact with the ground. The miniature air pump 75 starts and delivers negative pressure into the hose 82 of the barrier unit 8 through the air inlet of the connecting tube coil 72. The negative pressure is transmitted through the hose to the pneumatic suction cup 76, which extracts the air between the suction cup 76 and the ground, ensuring that the suction force of the pneumatic suction cup 76 can resist the lateral pulling force, thereby firmly fixing one end of the barrier unit 8 to the ground. The third motor 73 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the connecting tube coil 72 to rotate in the opposite direction through the transmission chain assembly 74, slowly winding up the barrier unit 8. During the winding process, the hose 82 and the reinforcing armor 83 of the barrier unit 8 gradually tighten, eventually forming a vertical barrier under the telescopic frame 65, which can effectively prevent people from crawling over.
