Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 An inspection system for a high-speed vehicle system includes: an inspection device 1, a data acquisition module 2, a data processing module 3, an early warning module 4, and a control module 5. The inspection device 1 is installed on the running path of the high-speed vehicle system. The data acquisition module 2 is connected to the inspection device 1. The data processing module 3 is connected to both the data acquisition module 2 and the early warning module 4. The control module 5 is connected to the inspection device 1, the data acquisition module 2, the data processing module 3, and the early warning module 4. The inspection device 1 is used to detect the status information of the luggage tray on the high-speed vehicle system in real time. The data acquisition module 2 is used to collect the status information of the luggage tray. The data processing module 3 is used to process and analyze the status information of the luggage tray. The early warning module 4 is used to send early warning signals based on the processing and analysis results of the data processing module 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inspection device 1 can be installed on the critical operating path of the high-speed trolley system, such as at turns, conveyor belt connection points, sorting ports, and other locations prone to malfunctions or abnormalities. The inspection device 1 uses high-precision sensors (such as infrared sensors, weight sensors, and visual recognition cameras) to monitor the status of passing luggage trays in real time, including but not limited to the weight, position, degree of offset, and surface damage of the luggage trays. The inspection device 1 communicates with the data acquisition module 2 wirelessly or via wired means to ensure real-time data transmission. The data acquisition module 2 receives raw data from the inspection device 1, including various status information of the luggage trays. The data acquisition module 2 uses a high-performance data acquisition card or embedded system with data caching and preliminary filtering functions to reduce the transmission of useless data and improve system efficiency. The data processing module 3 performs in-depth analysis on the collected data, including anomaly detection and trend prediction. Machine learning algorithms (such as support vector machines and neural networks) are used to classify the normal and abnormal states of the luggage tray and identify potential faults. The data processing module 3 is deployed in a data processing center on a cloud or local server, which has powerful computing capabilities and can process large amounts of data in real time. When the data processing module 3 analyzes that there is an abnormality or an impending fault in the luggage tray, the early warning module 4 is responsible for generating an early warning signal and notifying relevant personnel through various means (such as audible and visual alarms, SMS notifications, email reminders, etc.). The early warning module 4 integrates an intelligent alarm system, supports custom alarm rules and notification channels, and ensures the timeliness and accuracy of information. The control module 5 not only monitors the operating status of each module, but also adjusts the parameters of the inspection device 1, data acquisition module 2, and data processing module 3 or initiates emergency response procedures according to the instructions of the early warning module 4, such as pausing the operation of the luggage tray and guiding maintenance personnel to the fault point. The control module 5 adopts a programmable logic controller (PLC) or an industrial-grade computer, which has high reliability and real-time performance.

[0032] In this embodiment, an inspection device 1 is installed at key locations in the high-speed vehicle system to ensure coverage of all areas requiring monitoring. The inspection device 1 starts working, collecting real-time status information of the luggage tray and transmitting it to the data acquisition module 2 via the network. The data acquisition module 2 sends the received data to the data processing module 3, which uses a preset algorithm model to process and analyze the data to identify abnormal states. Once an abnormality is detected, the data processing module 3 transmits the result to the early warning module 4, which immediately triggers the early warning mechanism and sends an early warning signal to relevant personnel. At the same time, the control module 5 automatically adjusts the system status or triggers an emergency response procedure based on the warning content. Maintenance personnel quickly arrive at the scene to handle the fault based on the early warning information. Meanwhile, the system records the fault information for subsequent analysis and optimization.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Example 1, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment, the inspection device 1 includes an image acquisition component 101, a sliding mechanism 102, and a guide component 103. The image acquisition component 101 is mounted on the sliding mechanism 102, and the sliding mechanism 102 is slidably connected to the guide component 103. The guide component 103 is positioned along the running path of the high-speed trolley system. Both the image acquisition component 101 and the sliding mechanism 102 are connected to the control module 5. The image acquisition component 101 can be an infrared camera, capable of accurately capturing key information such as the outline and temperature of the luggage tray regardless of light conditions. The image acquisition component 101 is connected to the control module 5 via wired or wireless means to transmit image data in real time. The image acquisition component 101 is used to capture image information of the luggage tray for subsequent data processing and anomaly detection.

[0035] In this embodiment, the sliding mechanism 102 includes a driving component and a sliding component. The sliding component is slidably connected to the guide component 103 to ensure smooth movement. The driving component is connected to the sliding component and to the control module 5, receiving control commands from the control module 5. The driving component drives the sliding component to move along the guide component 103 according to the control commands from the control module 5, thereby adjusting the position of the image acquisition component 101 and enabling monitoring of the luggage tray at different positions. The driving component can be a servo motor, which features high precision and fast response speed, making it suitable for such high-precision positioning tasks.

[0036] In this embodiment, the guide component 103 can be a T-shaped guide rail structure. This structure is stable and easy to install. At the same time, it can provide a stable moving track for the sliding mechanism 102, ensuring that the image acquisition component 101 can accurately reach the designated position. The sliding component is provided with a groove that matches the guide component 103. A rolling wheel 104 is provided in the groove. The rolling wheel 104 is connected to the drive component. The contact between the rolling wheel 104 and the guide component 103 reduces friction and improves the moving efficiency.

[0037] In this embodiment, there is at least one sliding mechanism 102, and each sliding mechanism 102 is equipped with at least one image acquisition component 101. By setting multiple sliding mechanisms 102, each equipped with at least one image acquisition component 101, more comprehensive image data related to the high-speed vehicle system can be acquired.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inspection device 1 is activated by the control module 5, the drive component starts working, and the sliding component moves along the guide component 103; the image acquisition component 101 (infrared camera) captures image information of the luggage tray and transmits it to the control module 5 in real time (or first transmits it to the data acquisition module 2, and then forwards it to the control module 5); after receiving the image data, the control module 5 (or the data processing module 3) performs preprocessing and analysis to identify abnormal states of the luggage tray, such as offset or damage. Once an abnormality is detected, the early warning module 4 is immediately triggered to send an early warning signal to relevant personnel; according to the warning content, the control module 5 automatically adjusts the system state, such as pausing the operation of the luggage tray, or triggering an emergency response procedure, such as guiding maintenance personnel to the fault point; the system records fault information for subsequent analysis and optimization.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Based on Embodiment 2, in this embodiment, the inspection device 1 uses the track of the original high-speed trolley system and sets a sliding component on the track. The sliding component is connected to the drive mechanism of the luggage tray of the original high-speed trolley system. The luggage tray drive mechanism drives the sliding component simultaneously, thereby reducing the system modification cost. The luggage tray drive mechanism can consist of a motor and a pulley. A cleaning component is also set on the sliding component. The cleaning component is used to clean the reflector of the reflective photoelectric sensor on the high-speed trolley system, thereby achieving simultaneous cleaning of the reflector of the reflective photoelectric sensor during training, avoiding the failure or malfunction of the high-speed trolley system due to dust accumulation or fogging on the reflector, which weakens the reflected infrared light.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, referring to Figure 4 In this embodiment, a sensor module 6 is also included. The sensor module 6 is disposed on the luggage tray and is connected to the data acquisition module 2 and the control module 5 respectively. The sensor module 6 is used to detect the weight, position and speed of the luggage tray.

[0043] In this embodiment, the sensor module 6 includes various types of sensors, such as displacement sensors, acceleration sensors, temperature sensors, and pressure sensors, to comprehensively monitor various status information of the luggage tray. These sensors can be arranged on the inspection device 1 or directly installed on key parts of the luggage tray or high-speed trolley system. Specifically, the displacement sensor monitors the positional changes of the luggage tray during transport, ensuring it runs on the correct track; the acceleration sensor monitors changes in the acceleration of the luggage tray, promptly detecting abnormal acceleration or deceleration during transport; the temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the luggage tray and its surrounding environment, preventing damage to the luggage or system malfunctions due to excessively high or low temperatures; and the pressure sensor monitors the weight of the luggage tray, ensuring it operates within a specified weight range, preventing conveyor belt damage or system malfunctions due to overloading. The sensor module 6 is connected to the data acquisition module 2 via wired or wireless means, transmitting the collected luggage tray status information to the data acquisition module 2 in real time. The data acquisition module 2 buffers and performs preliminary filtering on the received data to reduce the transmission of useless data and improve system efficiency. Data acquisition module 2 sends the received data to data processing module 3 for processing and analysis. Data processing module 3 uses machine learning algorithms to classify the normal and abnormal states of the luggage tray and identify potential faults. Simultaneously, data processing module 3 can also predict the operating trend of the luggage tray, providing data support for system maintenance and optimization. When data processing module 3 analyzes that the luggage tray has an abnormality or is about to malfunction, early warning module 4 generates an early warning signal and notifies relevant personnel through various means (such as audible and visual alarms, SMS notifications, email reminders, etc.). At the same time, control module 5 automatically adjusts the system status or triggers emergency response procedures based on the early warning content, such as suspending the luggage tray operation or guiding maintenance personnel to the fault location.

[0045] Based on Example 3, referring to Figure 5 In this embodiment, a storage module 7 is also included. The storage module 7 is connected to the inspection device 1, the data acquisition module 2, the data processing module 3, the early warning module 4, and the control module 5, respectively. The storage module 7 is used to store the acquired status information, processing results, and alarm records.

[0046] In this embodiment, storage module 7 can select a high-performance solid-state drive (SSD) or enterprise-grade hard disk drive (HDD) as the storage device to ensure fast data read / write and long-term data retention. Considering data security and reliability, RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology can be selected to improve data fault tolerance and read / write performance through the combination of multiple hard drives. The capacity of the storage module is rationally planned according to the system's data generation and storage requirements. Sufficient expansion space is reserved considering data growth trends. For historical data retention, data retention periods can be set according to business needs, and corresponding data archiving and cleanup strategies can be formulated. Collected status information, processing results, and alarm records are classified and stored to facilitate subsequent data analysis and querying. Reasonable storage paths and naming rules are set for different types of data to improve data readability and maintainability. Access permissions are set for data in the storage module to ensure that only authorized personnel can access and operate the data. Encryption technology is used to protect the security of sensitive data and prevent data leakage. Invalid and expired data are cleaned up regularly to free up storage space, and historical data is archived for subsequent data analysis and auditing. Storage module 7 provides interfaces with inspection device 1, data acquisition module 2, data processing module 3, early warning module 4, and control module 5, ensuring seamless data transmission and storage. The interface design follows standardized protocols and specifications, improving system compatibility and scalability.

[0047] In this embodiment, a remote control module 8 is also included, which is connected to the control module 5. The remote control module 8 is used to remotely control and configure the inspection device 1, the data acquisition module 2, the data processing module 3 and the early warning module 4 through the control module 5.

[0048] In this embodiment, the remote control module 8 can be equipped with remote desktop software (such as Windows Remote Desktop, VNC, etc.), allowing operators to access and control the core equipment of the inspection system via remote desktop protocols. This allows operators to connect to the inspection system from anywhere using a computer or mobile device for real-time monitoring and operation. The remote control module 8 can acquire real-time status information of each module of the inspection system, including the working status of the inspection device 1, the data acquisition status of the data acquisition module 2, the processing results of the data processing module 3, and the alarm records of the early warning module 4. This information can be displayed to operators in real-time via dedicated control software or remote desktop software, allowing them to understand the system's operating status at any time. Operators can configure and adjust the parameters of each module of the inspection system through the remote control module 8. For example, they can adjust the detection frequency of the inspection device 1, the data acquisition range of the data acquisition module 2, and the algorithm parameters of the data processing module 3. This allows for optimization and adjustment of the system according to actual needs, improving system performance and accuracy. The remote control module 8 also provides data query and analysis functions. Operators can query historical data stored in storage module 7, including status information, processing results, and alarm records, using dedicated control software or remote desktop software. Simultaneously, data analysis tools can be used to conduct in-depth analysis of this data, uncovering potential problems and trends, providing data support for system maintenance and optimization. When an abnormality or malfunction occurs in the inspection system, the early warning module 4 generates an alarm signal and notifies relevant personnel through various methods. The remote control module 8 can receive these alarm signals and display them on the dedicated control software or remote desktop software. Operators can process and respond to alarms through the remote control module 8, such as viewing alarm details, initiating emergency response procedures, and guiding maintenance personnel to the fault location.
