[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the spatial layout structure of a customs inspection system provided by an embodiment of the present invention along one angle is shown. Figure 2 Show Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the spatial layout structure of the customs inspection system from another angle.

[0025] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a customs inspection system, including: a plurality of inspection compartments R, a slide rail G and an inspection device 1.

[0026] A plurality of inspection compartments R are arranged side by side, and the inspection compartments R are used to place containers B storing goods to be inspected.

[0027] The slide rail G is arranged at the exit side of the plurality of inspection compartments R.

[0028] The inspection device 1 is movably connected with the slide rail G, and the inspection unit 11 is arranged at the end of the inspection device 1 away from the slide rail G, and the inspection unit 11 can be inserted into the inspection compartment R to inspect the goods to be inspected in the container B.

[0029] Due to the limited space of the customs inspection site, most of the area is used for stacking goods to be inspected, and the moving space of the inspection device 1 is greatly limited, and the moving path of the inspection device 1 cannot be planned. Even if landmark navigation is used, due to the stacking of goods to be inspected and the influence of mobile equipment on site, there is a risk that the landmark will be blocked or even damaged. Planning the moving path of the inspection device 1 alone will occupy the area of the inspection site and reduce the area utilization rate of the inspection site. In addition, there are forklifts and other engineering machinery on the inspection site, which may scratch the inspection device 1.

[0030] In the embodiment of the application, the inspection unit 11 of the inspection device 1 can integrate the inspection business of the customs and intelligent equipment, better assist the customs personnel to complete the on-site inspection task, and reduce the labor intensity of the customs personnel. In addition, the slide rail G is arranged at the exit side of the plurality of inspection compartments R, and the inspection device 1 is movably connected with the slide rail G, so that the inspection device 1 can be moved back and forth without occupying the inspection site, and will not collide with the forklift and other engineering machinery, and at the same time, it is convenient to plan the moving path, and the requirements for navigation, positioning and obstacle avoidance equipment are relatively low. The same quality can complete various inspection businesses while effectively reducing the inspection cost.

[0031] The customs inspection system provided by the embodiment of the application can be moved along the slide rail G arranged on the plurality of inspection compartments R, without occupying the ground inspection space, and is convenient for path planning. The inspection compartment R is used to place the container B storing the goods to be inspected, and the inspection unit 11 is arranged at the end of the inspection device 1 away from the slide rail G, and the inspection unit 11 can be inserted into the inspection compartment R to inspect the goods to be inspected in the container B. The inspection unit 11 integrates the inspection business of the customs and intelligent equipment, can efficiently assist the customs personnel to complete the on-site inspection task, reduce the labor intensity of the customs personnel, and effectively reduce the inspection cost while completing various inspection businesses with the same quality.

[0032] Figure 3 The electrical structure schematic diagram of the inspection device of the customs inspection system is shown in Figure 1

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ​The inspection device 1 further comprises a motion unit 12 and a master control unit 13, the motion unit 12 is connected with the inspection unit 11, and the master control unit 13 is configured to acquire target position information of the inspection compartment R corresponding to the container B, and control the motion unit 12 to drive the inspection unit 11 to reach the target position.

[0034] As described above, the plurality of inspection compartments R are arranged side by side, the slide rail G is arranged at the outlet side of the plurality of inspection compartments R, each inspection compartment R has a fixed coordinate position, and the master control unit 13 controls the motion unit 12 to drive the inspection unit 11 to reach the target position according to the acquired target position information of the inspection compartment R corresponding to the container B.

[0035] In some embodiments, the motion unit 12 comprises a horizontal movement module 121, the horizontal movement module 121 comprises a moving frame and a roller (not shown in the figure) arranged on the moving frame, the inspection unit 11 is connected with the moving frame, the slide rail G is provided with a groove (not shown in the figure), the moving frame is sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the slide rail G, and the roller can be embedded in the groove to drive the inspection unit 11 to move along the slide rail G.

[0036] The horizontal movement module 121 further comprises a driving device for driving the roller to drive the inspection unit 11 to move along the slide rail G, and the driving device comprises any one of a motor, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder cooperating with a transmission mechanism. For example, the driving device comprises a motor and a conveyor belt transmission mechanism, the conveyor belt transmission mechanism comprises a driving wheel, a follower wheel and a conveyor belt connecting the driving wheel and the follower wheel, the conveyor belt is fixedly connected with the moving frame, and the driving wheel drives the conveyor belt to rotate to drive the inspection unit 11 to move along the slide rail G.

[0037] In some embodiments, the motion unit 12 further comprises a height adjustment module 122, one end of the height adjustment module 122 is connected with the horizontal movement module 121, and the other end of the height adjustment module 122 is connected with the inspection unit 11 to drive the inspection unit 11 to move in the vertical direction. Since the containers B are stacked in the height direction, in order to facilitate the inspection of each container B, the height of the inspection unit 11 can be adjusted through the height adjustment module 122. In addition, it is also convenient to adjust the extension size of the inspection unit 11 relative to the slide rail G according to the height of the customs officer, so as to assist the customs officer to hold the inspection unit 11 to inspect the container B.

[0038] Optionally, the height adjustment module 122 is a mechanism such as a lift, a gas spring, etc. Taking the gas spring structure as an example, the gas spring includes a pressure cylinder, a piston rod, a piston, a sealing guide sleeve, a filler, a cylinder-in control element and a cylinder-out control element, a joint, etc. The working principle of the gas spring is to fill inert gas or oil-gas mixture into a sealed pressure cylinder, so that the pressure in the cavity is several or dozens of times higher than the atmospheric pressure, and the movement of the piston rod is realized by using the pressure difference caused by the cross-sectional area of the piston rod being smaller than that of the piston. Due to the fundamental difference in principle, the gas spring has the characteristics of relatively slow speed, small dynamic force change and easy control.

[0039] In some embodiments, the inspection device 1 further comprises a positioning unit 16, which is configured to send an electrical signal to the main control unit 13 when the inspection unit 11 reaches the target position, so that the main control unit 13 controls the movement unit 12 to stop moving.

[0040] The positioning unit 16 can be a switch sensor, such as a photoelectric switch, which is generally two pairs of photoelectric switches arranged at positions on the slide rail G corresponding to each inspection compartment R. The horizontal movement module 121 is provided with a stop piece, and when the stop piece reaches the area between the two pairs of photoelectric switches, the photoelectric switch detects the in-position signal and sends an electrical signal to the main control unit 13, so that the main control unit 13 controls the movement unit 12 to stop moving. The positioning unit 16 can also be a contact switch arranged at positions on the slide rail G corresponding to each inspection compartment R. The horizontal movement module 121 is provided with a stop piece, and when the stop piece hits the contact switch, it means that the inspection unit 11 is in position, and an electrical signal is sent to the main control unit 13.

[0041] The positioning unit 16 can also use a marker positioning method, such as a two-dimensional code or other electronic code arranged at positions on the slide rail G corresponding to each inspection compartment R. The horizontal movement module 121 and / or the inspection unit 11 is provided with a scanner, and when the inspection unit 11 reaches the target position, the two-dimensional code is scanned to send an in-position electrical signal to the main control unit 13.

[0042] The positioning unit 16 can also use Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology, which is a wireless carrier communication technology that transmits data using nanosecond non-sinusoidal narrow pulse, so the frequency spectrum range it occupies is very wide. The UWB technology has the advantages of low system complexity, low power spectrum density of transmitted signal, low sensitivity to channel fading, low interception ability, high positioning accuracy, etc., and is especially suitable for high-speed wireless access in dense multipath places such as indoors. The positioning unit 16 includes a positioning tag, a positioning base station, and cloud Internet of Things application software. The positioning tag is arranged on the inspection unit 11, the positioning base station is placed within the effective distance range in the inspection site, and the main control unit 13 can be integrated with cloud Internet of Things application software to track the trajectory of the inspection unit 11 in real time.

[0043] If the horizontal moving module 121 and the height adjusting module 122 of the motion unit 12 are both driven by motors, the positioning unit 16 can also calculate the moving position of the inspection device 1 on the slide rail G or the height position in the vertical direction by counting the steps of the encoder arranged on the motor.

[0044] It can be understood that the positioning unit 16 can also be combined in various ways as described above to improve the accuracy and reliability of positioning.

[0045] In some embodiments, the inspection device 1 further comprises an obstacle avoidance unit 14 connected with the inspection unit 11, for sensing whether there is an obstacle in a predetermined space around the inspection unit 11.

[0046] Optionally, the obstacle avoidance unit 14 comprises sensors such as ultrasonic sensors and three-dimensional depth cameras to sense the environment around the inspection unit 11, so as to ensure that the inspection device 1 does not collide with surrounding customs officers or obstacles when moving on the slide rail G or the inspection unit 11 is lifted in the height direction, thereby improving the safety of the inspection device 1.

[0047] The specific functional modules of the inspection unit 11 of the inspection device 1 provided by the embodiments of the present application and the working principle of assisting customs officers to complete the on-site inspection task will be described in detail below.

The seal can be divided into customs seal, inspection seal and commercial seal according to the person applying it. Once the seal is properly locked, it cannot be opened unless it is forcibly broken, and the broken seal cannot be reused. Each seal has a unique number, i.e. a seal number. As long as the appearance of the container B is complete, the door is properly closed, and the seal is properly locked, it can be proved that the container has not been opened privately during transportation.

[0050] The image acquisition module 111 can identify the container number and seal number of the container B according to the acquired image and send them to the main control unit 13. The main control unit 13 compares the container number and seal number of the container B with the customs declaration form to verify whether the container B has been opened without permission during transportation.
