Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of identification signs, and in particular to a visual identification sign for molten iron ladle cars. Background Technology

[0002] Molten iron ladle cars are specialized equipment used by metallurgical enterprises for transporting molten iron from blast furnaces. Based on production needs, molten iron ladle cars are categorized by capacity, including large and small cars. With advancements in automation, modern molten iron ladle cars have achieved 5G remote control and autonomous driving technology. During the scheduling of molten iron ladle cars, industrial cameras are used to identify codes on the cars to determine their capacity and meet production demands.

[0003] Currently, the codes on molten iron ladle cars are mainly printed on mounting plates on the side of the frame, consisting of multiple digits. A continuous range of digits represents a type of ladle car with the same capacity (e.g., 001-040 for small ladle cars, 041-069 for large ladle cars). An industrial camera identifies the code to determine the car's capacity. This method has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Due to the harsh working environment in metallurgical operations, the imaging effect of industrial cameras is affected, requiring frequent manual cleaning and maintenance;

[0005] 2. It is prone to code recognition errors due to dirt, paint peeling, etc., which may cause serious accidents such as small tank cars pouring molten iron beyond their capacity and causing iron spillage.

[0006] Based on this, this application provides a visual recognition sign for molten iron ladle cars, which has strong anti-interference ability, is easy to maintain, and ensures the accuracy of visual recognition. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, this invention provides a visual recognition sign for molten iron ladle cars, which has strong anti-interference capabilities, is easy to maintain, and ensures the accuracy of visual recognition.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0009] A visual identification sign for molten iron ladle cars is provided, comprising a mounting base plate, a number identification block and a graphic identification block detachably mounted on the surface of the mounting base plate, wherein: the mounting base plate is fixedly mounted on the outer center of the molten iron ladle car frame, and has a number installation area and a verification area arranged sequentially from left to right; the number identification block is located in the number installation area, and the number identification block consists of a first code representing the capacity of the ladle car and a second code for numbering the ladle car; the graphic identification block, representing the capacity of the ladle car, is located in the verification area and serves to verify the capacity of the ladle car with the number identification block.

[0010] In some alternative implementations, the first code consists of a specific one or two digits, with different tank trucks using specific and different one or two digits; the second code consists of at least two digits, arranged sequentially according to the number of tank trucks.

[0011] In some alternative implementations, the shape of the graphic recognition block includes a circle, a rhombus, or a star, which are used to represent tank trucks of different capacities.

[0012] In some alternative implementations, each sign's image recognition block has two identical shapes.

[0013] In some optional implementations, multiple region recognition blocks are also included. These multiple region recognition blocks are fixedly installed in a rectangular array at the four corners of the grade registration area and the verification area, which facilitates the industrial camera to quickly locate the positions of the grade recognition blocks and the image recognition blocks.

[0014] In some alternative implementations, the mounting base plate is secured to the tanker truck frame by a fastener-through-area identification block.

[0015] In some optional implementations, the area recognition block, brand recognition block, and image recognition block are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. Both the brand identification block and the image identification block of this utility model can identify the capacity of the tanker truck and can form a mutual verification to ensure the accuracy of the tanker truck capacity; and both the brand identification block and the image identification block protrude from the surface of the mounting base plate, which increases the anti-interference ability of the sign recognition, reduces the influence of the surrounding environment, and also has the advantage of long service life.

[0018] 2. The setting of the area recognition block is beneficial for industrial cameras to quickly locate the brand recognition block and the image recognition block;

[0019] 3. The first and second codes on the brand identification block, as well as the graphic identification block, are all detachable, making it convenient to replace the codes and graphic blocks and facilitating maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Example 1

[0033] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Or attached Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a visual recognition sign for molten iron ladle cars, including a mounting base plate 1, a grade recognition block 2 and a graphic recognition block 3 detachably mounted on the surface of the mounting base plate 1, wherein:

[0034] The mounting base plate 1 is fixedly installed on the outer middle part of the frame 10 of the molten iron ladle car. From left to right, it is provided with a license plate installation area 1.1 and a verification area 1.2. Both the license plate installation area 1.1 and the verification area 1.2 are provided with several mounting holes for installing license plate recognition blocks and image recognition blocks, respectively. The license plate recognition block 2 and the image recognition block 3 protrude from the surface of the mounting base plate 1, which increases the anti-interference ability of the sign recognition, reduces the influence of the surrounding environment, and facilitates the replacement of damaged recognition blocks.

[0035] The brand identification block 2 consists of a first code 2.1 for representing the tanker capacity and a second code 2.2 for numbering the tanker. The first code 2.1 consists of a specific one or two digits, and tankers with different capacities use specific and different one or two digits.

[0036] In specific implementation, in one implementation method, such as Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the designated number 03 represents a small-capacity tanker (a specific capacity); while in another embodiment, as shown in the attached... Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, the specified number 19 represents a large-capacity tanker (a specific capacity). The second code 2.2 consists of at least two digits, arranged sequentially according to the number of tankers (e.g., 01-99, 001-999). Since the first code already indicates the capacity of the tanker, the second code can be arranged sequentially without needing to be grouped according to the capacity of the tankers.

[0037] The graphic recognition block 3 represents the tanker's capacity and is located in the verification area to mutually verify the tanker's license plate number. Since the image recognition block in this embodiment can also identify the tanker's capacity, the image recognition block and the license plate number can mutually verify each other, ensuring accurate identification. The image recognition block 3 in this embodiment has various shapes, such as circular, rhomboid, and star-shaped, to represent tankers with different capacities.

[0038] In specific implementation, in one implementation method, such as Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a diamond shape represents a small-capacity tanker (a specific capacity); in another embodiment, as shown in the attached diagram... Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, circles represent large-capacity tank trucks (with a specific capacity).

[0039] Preferably, each sign's image recognition block 3 has two identical shapes, serving as backups for each other. This effectively prevents one of the image recognition modules from falling or being damaged, thus preventing it from being unable to verify with the license plate recognition block.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes multiple area identification blocks 4 on the mounting substrate 1, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Or attached Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple area recognition blocks 4 are fixedly installed in a rectangular array at the four corners of the brand number installation area 1.1 and the verification area 1.2, which facilitates the industrial camera to quickly locate the positions of the brand number recognition blocks and the image recognition blocks.

[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, the mounting base plate 1 is fixed to the tanker frame 10 by the fastener penetration area identification block 4.

[0043] Preferably, the area recognition block 4, the brand recognition block 2, and the image recognition block 3 are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Or attached Figure 3Appendix Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning hole is also provided in the middle of the mounting base plate 1 near the upper and lower ends. A strip-shaped marker block 5 is fixedly installed on the positioning hole to determine whether the ladle car is directly below the molten iron ladle. Since the marker is located in the center of the ladle car, a laser line is usually provided on the front of the molten iron ladle. When the ladle car moves to a position where the laser line can be projected onto the strip-shaped marker block, it indicates that the ladle car is directly below the molten iron ladle.

[0046] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
