Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of iris recognition devices, and more specifically, to an iris acquisition device and method with automatic dust prevention. Background Art

[0002] Advantages such as the accuracy, stability, and non-contact nature of iris recognition technology. With the progress of technology, iris recognition devices are being applied in more and more different scenarios. In practice, it has been found that when existing iris recognition devices are applied in industrial enterprises with harsh external environments such as coal mining enterprises, coal yards in power plants, ore yards, and construction sites, their lenses are easily affected by dust and other substances in the external environment. Substances such as dust and powder accumulate on the lens surface over a long time and no one cleans them, resulting in a decline in the quality of the acquired iris images, ultimately affecting the recognition accuracy. To address the above problems, a Chinese patent with the application number CN202020704288.1 discloses an iris acquisition device that can automatically clean the lens surface. By setting up mechanisms such as an integrated water tank, a small water pump, a liquid inlet pipe, an outlet valve, a cleaning cloth, an atomizing nozzle, and a hot air blower, it uses the method of scrubbing and drying the surface of the iris lens to remove the dust adhering to its surface. The problem with this technical solution is that it requires manual control of the lifting by the user, resulting in a reduced degree of automation and prone to misoperation. Its lifting speed is slow, causing the recognition speed to slow down and the user experience to deteriorate. In addition, the cleaning method of atomizing and wiping will cause the problem that dust adheres to the surface of the cleaning cloth after working for a period of time, ultimately resulting in water stains on the lens surface or being unable to be wiped clean after wiping, still affecting the iris recognition effect. Therefore, how to develop a new type of iris recognition device to overcome the above problems existing in the prior art is the direction that those skilled in the art need to study.

[0035] As Figures 1-3 shown in is Embodiment 1:

[0036] An automatically dust-proof iris acquisition device, which includes: an outer housing 1, an iris acquisition device 2, a filter switching device 3, a human body sensing device 4, a micro air pump 5 and a silicone tube 6.

[0037] The surface of the outer housing 1 is provided with a door body 11 and a display screen 12. The iris acquisition device 2, the filter switching device 3, and the human body sensing device 4 are respectively installed inside the outer housing 1; the iris acquisition device 2 includes a lens 21, an image sensor 22, an infrared lamp 23, and a main control unit 25; here, the iris acquisition device 2 adopts a G-M1 type iris acquisition device, and its structure is well-known and will not be elaborated here. The filter switching device 3 includes a mounting frame 31, a filter sheet switch 32, and a switch driver 33.

[0038] Among them, the display screen 12 adopts a touch display screen 12; the display screen 12 is electrically connected to the image sensor 22 and is used to display the iris recognition result. The display screen 12 is also integrated with a voice module, and the voice module is used to play a pre-stored voice file when the display screen 12 is working. The main control unit 25 is used to control the opening / closing of the iris acquisition device 2; the lens 21 is arranged facing the door body 11; the mounting frame 31 is provided with a filter position, and the filter position is located between the lens 21 and the door body 11; the filter sheet switch 32 is movably connected to the mounting frame 31, and a first filter sheet and a second filter sheet are provided thereon; the switch driver 33 is electrically connected to the filter sheet switch 32 and is used to alternately switch and move the first filter sheet and the second filter sheet to the filter position; and when the first filter sheet or the second filter sheet moves to the filter position, it seals the inner and outer sides of the door body on the outer housing, thereby preventing dust from the outside from entering the inside of the outer housing; the human body sensing device 4 is electrically connected to the switch driver 33 and the main control unit 25 respectively, and is used to control the switch driver 33 and the main control unit 25 to start working when a human body enters its sensing range; one end of the silica gel tube 6 is connected to the micro air pump 5 and the other end is arranged facing the filter position. A detachable filter element 51 is installed at the air inlet of the micro air pump 5.

[0039] In this example: the human body sensing device 4 adopts a pyroelectric infrared sensor for human body. The switch driver 33 adopts a circuit board including an MS3111S driving chip. The filter sheet switch 32 adopts a QM203-M00-41-647AR22 switch.

[0040] In practice, its working process is as follows:

[0041] Step 1: Under normal conditions, the first filter sheet on the filter sheet switch 32 is located at the filter position, blocking the dust from the outside of the outer housing 1 from reaching and contaminating the lens 21. At the same time, the human body sensing device 4 is in an always-on state;

[0042] Step 2: When the human body sensing device 4 senses that a human body enters its sensing range, the human body sensing device 4 outputs a start signal to the switch driver 33 and the main control unit 25;

[0043] Step 3: The switch driver 33 controls the filter switch 32 to switch the second filter to the filtering station, and at the same time, the main control unit 25 controls the iris acquisition device 2 to start working;

[0044] Step 4: The iris acquisition device 2 acquires the iris image of the human eye and outputs the iris recognition result to the display screen 12;

[0045] Step 5: The display screen 12 displays the iris recognition result, and at the same time, the voice module plays the pre-stored voice file;

[0046] Step 6: When the human body sensing device 4 senses that the human body leaves its sensing range, the human body sensing device 4 outputs a shutdown signal to the switch driver 33 and the main control unit 25;

[0047] Step 7: The switch driver 33 controls the filter switch 32 to switch the first filter to the filtering station, and at the same time, the main control unit 25 controls the iris acquisition device 2 to stop working;

[0048] Step 8: Control the micro air pump 5 to start, and the micro air pump 5 blows air into the silica gel tube 6. This air flow reaches the surface of the first filter through the silica gel tube 6 and blows away the dust adhering to the surface of the filter 24.

[0049] The device of this solution only starts to work when the human body is close, and is usually well protected inside the outer housing 1 to avoid contact with dust in the external environment. When the human body leaves the detection range, by controlling the micro air pump 5 to blow air on the first filter, the air in the space between the lens surface and the door body can continue to be kept clean.

[0050] Considering that the filter switch 32 may cause dust accumulation after running in a dusty environment for a long time, resulting in jamming when the first / second filter is switched and moved, it is necessary to regularly disassemble and maintain this component to ensure its service life in a harsh environment: Loosen the locking screw on the filter switch 32 from the front of the device, pull out the screwed-out screw to remove the filter switch 32 with accumulated dust, and separate it from the corresponding connection socket, so as to take out the filter switch 32; Replace the removed filter switch 32 with a new filter switch 32, connect it to the corresponding connection socket, and tuck the connecting wire into the outer housing. Fix and tighten with the locking screw and then conduct a test. After the test passes, the disassembly and maintenance of the filter switch 32 are completed.

[0051] The replacement and maintenance process of the micro air pump 5 is as follows: Pull out the silica gel tube 6 from the air outlet of the micro air pump 5, and disconnect the electrical control wire between the micro air pump 5 and the controller 3; Replace the micro air pump 5 with the same specification and model, reconnect the electrical control wire and conduct a working test on the micro air pump 5. After the test passes, the disassembly and maintenance of the micro air pump 5 are completed.

[0052] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
