[0043] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the lower end of the laser rangefinder support plate 506 is provided with a long protrusion, and the upper end surface of the support base 510 is provided with a long groove.

The gear of the transmission mechanism is fixed on the rotating shaft of the third drive motor 509, and the rack of the transmission mechanism is fixed on the long protrusion at the lower end of the laser rangefinder support plate 506.

[0044] It should be noted that when the third drive motor 509 rotates, it drives the laser rangefinder support plate 506 to slide on the support base 510 through the cooperation of gears and racks, thereby driving the laser rangefinder 504 to slide along the support base 510.

[0045] like Figure 4As shown, the camera part 6 includes a third inclination sensor 601, a fourth drive motor 602, a camera 603 and a camera bracket 604, the camera 603 is installed on the camera bracket 604, the camera bracket 604 is fixed on the roadway roof 2, the third inclination sensor 601 is installed behind the camera 603, the fourth drive motor 602 is connected with the camera 603, and the fourth drive motor 602 is fixed on one side of the camera bracket 604.

[0046] It should be noted that the third inclination sensor 601 is used to detect the pitch angle of the camera 603; the fourth drive motor 602 is used to change the pitch angle of the camera 603, and the fourth drive motor 602 cooperates with the third inclination sensor 601 to make the camera 603 always shoot the moving target part 7.

[0047] As shown in Figure 5 , the moving target part 7 includes a first fixed pulley 701, a target moving frame 702, a target 703, a second displacement sensor 704, a target dragging motor 705 and a second fixed pulley 706, the upper end of the target moving frame 702 is fixed on the roadway roof 2, the first fixed pulley 701, the target dragging motor 705 and the second fixed pulley 706 are fixed on the target moving frame 702 respectively, the target 703 is slidingly installed on the target moving frame 702, the target dragging motor 705 is connected with the target 703 through a traction line, the traction line passes through the first fixed pulley 701 and the second fixed pulley 706, and the second displacement sensor 704 is installed above the target 703.

[0048] It should be noted that one end of the traction line is fixed on the rotating shaft of the target dragging motor 705, the other end is fixed on the hanging ring of the upper section of the target 703, the traction line connects the target dragging motor 705 and the target 703 by passing through the first fixed pulley 701 and the second fixed pulley 706, and the target 703 moves up and down in the target moving frame 702 by pulling the traction line through the target dragging motor 705, and the second displacement sensor 704 is used to detect the moving distance of the target 703.

[0049] The laser range finder 504 is located on the roadheader 3, and the target 703 is located on the roadway roof, in order to overcome the problem of laser missing the target 703, the laser range finder support plate 506 and the target moving frame 702 are designed, so that the laser range finder 504 and the target 703 make corresponding position adjustment according to the pose of the roadheader 3.

[0050] As shown in Figure 6 , the cutting head pose detection part includes magnetostrictive distance sensors respectively installed on the cutting head first stage hydraulic cylinder 8, the cutting head second stage hydraulic cylinder 9 and the cutting head third stage hydraulic cylinder 11, and an angle sensor 10 installed at the center of the cutting head rotating shaft.

[0051] It should be noted that the cutting head is a rotating part of the tunneling machine 3 that directly cuts the rock, the front of the cutting head is the to-be-excavated area 1, the cutting head first-stage hydraulic cylinder 8, the cutting head second-stage hydraulic cylinder 9 and the cutting head third-stage hydraulic cylinder 11 are each provided with two, and the magnetostrictive distance sensor is provided with six in total. The six magnetostrictive distance sensors are used to measure the displacement of the hydraulic rod driven by the hydraulic cylinder of the cutting head part, and cooperate with the angle sensor 10 installed at the rear of the cutting head to detect the pose of the cutting head.

[0052] The biaxial inclination sensor 4, the first driving motor 502, the second driving motor 503, the laser range finder 504, the first inclination sensor 505, the second inclination sensor 507, the first displacement sensor 508, the third driving motor 509, the third inclination sensor 601, the fourth driving motor 602, the camera 603, the second displacement sensor 704, the target dragging motor 705, the magnetostrictive distance sensor and the angle sensor 10 in the system are connected with the control system.

[0053] Before the tunneling machine 3 starts to work, the positions of the laser range finder 504 and the target 703 are adjusted so that the landing point of the ranging laser emitted by the laser range finder 504 is exactly at the center position of the target 703; during the tunneling process, the landing point of the ranging laser emitted by the laser range finder 504 is detected in real time by the camera part 6, under the detection of the first inclination sensor 505 and the second inclination sensor 507, the first driving motor 502 and the second driving motor 503 are driven to drive the laser range finder 504 so that the landing point of the ranging laser emitted by the laser range finder 504 is at the center position of the target 703.

[0054] The first working state: only the pitch angle of the tunneling machine changes.

[0055] During the operation of the tunneling machine 3, only when the pitch angle of the tunneling machine 3 changes, the onboard ranging laser unit 5 remains on the same plane as the moving target unit 7 in the horizontal direction. The pitch angle of the tunneling machine 3 can be measured by the dual-axis tilt sensor 4. Combining the pitch angle data of the tunneling machine 3 measured by the dual-axis tilt sensor 4, the pitch angle of the laser rangefinder 504 is continuously measured through real-time detection by the second tilt sensor 507. The laser rangefinder 504 is driven by the second drive motor 503 to make corresponding pitch angle changes to compensate for the pitch angle changes of the tunneling machine. The camera 603 captures the laser point on the target 703, and the laser rangefinder... After 504 makes the corresponding pitch angle change, the ranging laser emitted by the laser rangefinder 504 still hits the center position of the target 703; based on the pitch angle measured by the second tilt sensor 507 on the laser rangefinder 504 and the distance measured by the laser rangefinder 504, the distance from the tunneling machine 3 to the target 703 is calculated, and the positioning of the tunneling machine 3 body is realized. Combined with the corresponding data measured by the magnetostrictive distance sensor installed on the first stage hydraulic cylinder 8, the second stage hydraulic cylinder 9 and the third stage hydraulic cylinder 11 of the cutting head, and the angle sensor 10 installed at the center of the cutting head shaft, the position and posture detection of the cutting head part of the tunneling machine 3 is completed.

[0056] Second working state: Only the roll angle of tunneling machine 3 changes.

[0057] During the operation of tunneling machine 3, only when the roll angle of tunneling machine 3 changes, such as Figure 9 As shown, the position of the ranging laser emitted by the laser rangefinder 504 will move from point B to point A; the dual-axis tilt sensor 4 can measure the roll angle α and find point C, which is on the same longitudinal axis as point B. Given the dimensions of the tunneling machine 3, the distance l that needs to be translated along angle α and the displacement H relative to point B from point A to point C can be calculated. After calculation, under the detection of the first displacement sensor 508 and the action of the third drive motor 509, the laser rangefinder support plate 506 moves accordingly, moving the landing point of the ranging laser emitted by the laser rangefinder 504 from point A to point C. Under the action of the target drag motor 705 and the detection of the second displacement sensor 704, the target 703 moves in the target moving frame 702 to compensate for the longitudinal displacement H.

[0058] Based on the roll angle measured by the dual-axis tilt sensor 4, and through real-time detection by the first tilt sensor 505, the roll angle of the laser rangefinder 504 is continuously measured. The first drive motor 502 drives the laser rangefinder 504 to make corresponding roll angle changes to compensate for changes in the tunneling machine's roll angle. The camera 603 captures the laser point on the target 703. After the laser rangefinder 504 makes the corresponding roll angle change, the ranging laser emitted by the laser rangefinder 504 still hits the center of the target 703. Position; based on the roll angle measured by the first tilt sensor 505 on the laser rangefinder 504 and the distance measured by the laser rangefinder 504, the distance from the tunneling machine 3 to the target 703 is calculated to achieve the positioning of the tunneling machine. Combined with the corresponding data measured by the magnetostrictive distance sensor installed on the first stage hydraulic cylinder 8, the second stage hydraulic cylinder 9 and the third stage hydraulic cylinder 11 of the cutting head, and the angle sensor 10 installed at the center of the cutting head shaft, the position and posture detection of the cutting head part of the tunneling machine 3 is completed.

[0059] Third working state: The pitch angle and roll angle of tunneling machine 3 change simultaneously.

[0060] During the operation of tunneling machine 3, when the pitch angle and roll angle of tunneling machine 3 change simultaneously, such as Figure 7 As shown, similar to the first and second working states, the pitch and roll angles of the tunneling machine 3 are measured by the dual-axis tilt sensor 4. Based on the pitch and roll angles measured by the dual-axis tilt sensor 4, the second drive motor 503 and the first drive motor 502 respectively drive the laser rangefinder 504 to make corresponding pitch and roll angle changes to compensate for the angle changes of the tunneling machine. The camera 603 captures the laser point on the target 703, and at the same time, according to the change of the roll angle of the tunneling machine 3, the positions of the laser rangefinder 504 and the target 703 are adjusted according to the second working state, so that the laser emitted by the laser rangefinder 504 hits the target 703. On the central axis of 3; the distance between the tunneling machine 3 and the target 703 is measured by the laser rangefinder 504. Based on the pitch angle and roll angle parameters of the tunneling machine 3 measured by the second tilt angle sensor 507 and the first tilt angle sensor 505 respectively, the straight distance between the tunneling machine 3 and the target 703 can be calculated to complete the positioning of the tunneling machine 3 body. Combined with the corresponding data measured by the magnetostrictive distance sensor installed on the first stage hydraulic cylinder 8, the second stage hydraulic cylinder 9 and the third stage hydraulic cylinder 11 of the cutting head and the angle sensor 10 installed at the center of the cutting head shaft, the position and posture detection of the cutting head part of the tunneling machine 3 is completed.

[0061] Fourth working state: Only the heading angle of tunneling machine 3 changes.

[0062] The laser ranging instrument 504 emits a ranging laser that falls on the target 703. When the heading angle of the roadheader 3 changes, the falling point of the ranging laser on the target 703 deviates from the central axis of the target 703. The camera 603 captures the laser point on the target 703, and the heading angle of the roadheader 3 is dynamically adjusted according to the deviation. It should be noted that after the heading angle of the roadheader is known, the controller controls the roadheader track walking hydraulic motor to adjust the heading angle of the roadheader. After the heading angle of the roadheader is adjusted, the laser point returns to the central axis of the target 703. According to the calculated heading angle and the distance measured by the laser ranging instrument 504, the distance from the roadheader 3 to the target 703 is calculated to realize the positioning of the roadheader. The corresponding data measured by the magnetostrictive distance sensor installed on the first-stage hydraulic cylinder 8, the second-stage hydraulic cylinder 9 and the third-stage hydraulic cylinder 11 of the cutting head and the angle sensor 10 installed at the center of the cutting head shaft complete the pose detection of the cutting head part of the roadheader 3.

[0063] The calculations in the present disclosure can be calculated using trigonometric functions.

[0064] Heading angle: When the heading angle changes, the distance between the laser falling point on the target 703 and the central axis of the target 703 can be measured using image recognition technology. Since the roadheader 3 travels slowly when working, the vertical distance from the roadheader 3 to the target 703 measured at the previous time can be used as the vertical distance from the roadheader 3 to the target 703 at the current time. Combined with the distance measured by the laser ranging instrument 504 at the current time, a triangle is formed, and the heading angle can be approximately calculated. The heading angle is dynamically adjusted under the monitoring of the camera 603.

[0065] Vertical distance from the roadheader 3 to the target 703: After adjusting the heading angle, the ranging laser falling point falls on the central axis of the target 703. The distance from the falling point to the ground is obtained using image recognition technology, and the vertical distance from the roadheader 3 to the target 703 can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem combined with the distance measured by the ranging laser.

[0066] As shown in Figure 9 The position adjustment problem of the laser ranging instrument 504 when the roll angle of the roadheader 3 changes can also be calculated using trigonometric functions.

[0067] Fifth working state: the heading angle, the pitch angle and the roll angle change simultaneously.

[0068] During the working process of the roadheader 3, when the heading angle, the pitch angle and the roll angle change simultaneously, as shown in Figure 8As shown, first, the position of the laser range finder 504 and the target 703 is adjusted according to the third working state, the heading angle of the roadheader 3 is dynamically adjusted according to the landing point of the ranging laser emitted by the laser range finder 504 on the target 703, so that the laser landing point returns to the central axis of the target 703 again. After the heading angle is adjusted, the roll angle and the pitch angle of the roadheader 3 will change again, at this time, according to the third working state, the second drive motor 503 and the first drive motor 502 drive the laser range finder 504 to make corresponding changes in the pitch angle and the roll angle respectively to compensate for the angle change of the roadheader, so that the landing point of the ranging laser falls on the center of the target 703 again. The distance between the roadheader 3 and the target 703 measured by the laser range finder 504, according to the pitch angle and the roll angle parameters of the roadheader 3, can calculate the straight-line distance between the roadheader 3 and the target 703, complete the positioning work of the machine body of the roadheader 3, and complete the pose detection of the cutting head part of the roadheader 3 by combining the corresponding data measured by the magnetostrictive distance sensor installed on the first-stage hydraulic cylinder 8, the second-stage hydraulic cylinder 9 and the third-stage hydraulic cylinder 11 of the cutting head and the angle sensor 10 installed at the center of the cutting head shaft. At this time, the heading angle correction of the roadheader 3, the pose detection of the whole roadheader 3 and the positioning work of the machine body of the roadheader 3 are completed.

[0069] The roadheader pose detection and positioning system based on the dual-axis inclination sensor provided by the application captures the laser point on the target 703 through the camera 603, measures the pitch angle and the roll angle of the roadheader 3 through the dual-axis inclination sensor 4, dynamically adjusts the heading angle of the roadheader 3 according to the landing point of the ranging laser on the target 703 captured by the camera 603, measures the distance between the roadheader 3 and the target 703 through the laser range finder 504, combines the pitch angle and the roll angle parameters of the roadheader 3, calculates the straight-line distance between the roadheader 3 and the target 703, completes the positioning work of the machine body of the roadheader 3, and completes the pose detection of the cutting head part of the roadheader 3 by combining the corresponding data measured by the magnetostrictive distance sensor installed on the first-stage hydraulic cylinder 8, the second-stage hydraulic cylinder 9 and the third-stage hydraulic cylinder 11 of the cutting head and the angle sensor 10 installed at the center of the cutting head shaft. The problems that the existing pose detection means cannot realize real-time detection and spatial positioning of the pose of the roadheader are solved.
