Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of road equipment, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for adjusting the amount of spring extension. Background Technology

[0002] A barrier gate is a device used in parking lots to control vehicle access. It can be equipped with different types and lengths of barrier arms, including straight arms, fences, and folding arms, with lengths ranging from 3 meters to 6 meters. Each barrier gate is equipped with a spring for balance. During installation or assembly, the spring preload needs to be manually adjusted to ensure the barrier gate is in a balanced state. Furthermore, as the spring's elasticity decreases, or if the user changes the type and length of the barrier arm without the support of a barrier gate technician, the original balance can be disrupted.

[0003] This indicates that the relevant technologies suffer from low efficiency in adjusting the balance of the barrier gate.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the aforementioned problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for adjusting the amount of spring extension, in order to at least solve the problem of low efficiency in adjusting the balance of a barrier gate in related technologies.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for adjusting the extension and contraction of a spring is provided, comprising: determining a first peak driving torque and a first average driving torque during the lifting process of a barrier gate arm, and a second peak driving torque and a second average driving torque during the falling process of the barrier gate arm; determining a first torque difference between the lifting process and the falling process based on the first peak driving torque, the first average driving torque, the second peak driving torque, and the second average driving torque; determining a target state of a spring connected to the barrier gate arm included in the barrier gate based on the first torque difference; and adjusting the target extension and contraction of the spring based on the first torque difference when the target state indicates that the spring is in an abnormal state.

[0007] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a spring extension adjustment device is provided, comprising: a first determining module, configured to determine a first driving torque peak value and a first average driving torque during the lifting process of the barrier arm, and a second driving torque peak value and a second average driving torque during the falling process of the barrier arm; a second determining module, configured to determine a first torque difference between the lifting process and the falling process based on the first driving torque peak value, the first average driving torque, the second driving torque peak value, and the second average driving torque; a third determining module, configured to determine a target state of a spring connected to the barrier arm included in the barrier based on the first torque difference; and an adjusting module, configured to adjust the target extension amount of the spring based on the first torque difference when the target state indicates that the spring is in an abnormal state.

[0008] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is also provided, wherein a computer program is stored therein, wherein the computer program is configured to perform the steps in any of the above method embodiments when executed.

[0009] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device is also provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program and the processor is configured to run the computer program to perform the steps in any of the above method embodiments.

[0010] This invention determines the peak value and average value of the first driving torque during the lifting process of the barrier arm, and the peak value and average value of the second driving torque during the lowering process. Based on these values, a first torque difference is determined between the lifting and lowering processes. The target state of the spring connected to the barrier arm within the barrier is determined based on this first torque difference. If the target state indicates that the spring is in an abnormal state, the target extension / retraction amount of the spring is adjusted based on the first torque difference. Since the target extension / retraction amount of the spring can be directly adjusted based on the first torque difference when the spring is determined to be in an abnormal state, without the need for manual adjustment, this invention solves the problem of low efficiency in adjusting the barrier arm's balance in related technologies, thereby improving the efficiency of barrier arm balance adjustment.

[0024] This embodiment provides a method for adjusting the amount of spring extension. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for adjusting the spring extension / retraction amount according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0025] Step S202: Determine the first peak driving torque and the first average driving torque during the lifting process of the barrier gate arm, and the second peak driving torque and the second average driving torque during the lowering process of the barrier gate arm;

[0026] Step S204: Determine the first torque difference between the lifting process and the falling process based on the first driving torque peak value, the first average driving torque, the second driving torque peak value, and the second average driving torque;

[0027] Step S206: Determine the target state of the spring connected to the barrier arm included in the barrier gate based on the first torque difference;

[0028] Step S208: If the target state indicates that the spring is in an abnormal state, adjust the target extension amount of the spring based on the first torque difference.

[0029] In the above embodiments, the barrier gate may include a barrier arm, a mechanism, a spring, a housing, etc. A detailed structural diagram of the barrier gate can be found in the appendix. Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the mechanism and one end of the spring are fixed to the housing. The moving mechanism of the mechanism has springs and a barrier arm mounted on both sides. A device capable of linear extension and retraction can be installed between the mechanism and the spring, or between the spring and the housing, and can be driven by a motor. A schematic diagram of the barrier gate structure can be found in the attached diagram. Figure 4 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the barrier gate may include a first control unit, a first actuator, a second control unit, and a second actuator. The first and second control units can transmit information via wired or wireless means. It should be noted that the second control unit can also be part of the first control unit. When the first control unit includes the second control unit, a structural diagram of the barrier gate can be found in the appendix. Figure 5 The system comprises two control units: a first control unit (a gate actuator) and a second control unit (a spring telescopic device actuator). The first control unit includes a control logic circuit, a communication circuit, a motor drive circuit, and a current acquisition circuit. The control logic circuit is connected to the communication circuit, motor drive circuit, and current acquisition circuit to control the operation of each module. The motor drive circuit drives the first actuator under program control. The current acquisition circuit collects the current flowing through the motor to calculate the motor's output torque. The second control unit consists of a control logic circuit, a communication circuit, a motor drive circuit, and a position acquisition circuit. The control logic circuit is also connected to these circuits to control the operation of each module. The motor drive circuit drives the second actuator under program control. The position acquisition circuit collects the number of rotations of the motor or the displacement of the telescopic device to calculate the spring's deformation. The first actuator can raise and lower the gate arm. The second actuator can adjust the spring's tension to adjust the preload.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the first control unit can control the first actuator to lower and raise the lever at set times, recording the motor current value during this process. The peak current I for lowering and raising the lever is calculated based on the data. 落杆max I 抬杆max and average current I 落杆avg I 抬杆avg Next, the peak moment T of the pole's lowering and raising is calculated using T=KI. 落杆max T 抬杆max and average torque T 落杆avg T 抬杆avg Where K is the torque coefficient of the motor and I is the motor current.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the output torque of the motor can be converted into the driving torque acting on the barrier arm according to T' = i × T, thus obtaining the peak torque T'. 落杆max (corresponding to the peak value of the second driving torque mentioned above), T' 抬杆max (corresponding to the peak value of the first driving torque mentioned above) and the average torque T' 落杆avg (corresponding to the second average torque mentioned above), T' 抬杆avg (Corresponding to the first average torque mentioned above). Where i is the reduction ratio from the motor to the barrier arm, and T is the motor side torque.

[0032] In the above embodiments, the first torque difference between the lifting and falling processes can be determined based on a peak driving torque, a first average driving torque, a second peak driving torque, and a second average driving torque, and the target state of the spring can be determined based on the first torque difference. The target state can include a normal state, an abnormal state, and a broken state. When the first torque difference is greater than a first threshold, the spring is considered too loose and in an abnormal state; when the first torque difference is less than a second threshold, the spring is considered too tight and in an abnormal state. When the first torque difference is greater than or equal to the second threshold and less than or equal to the first threshold, the spring is considered to be in a normal state. If the driving torque during the falling process is much less than the driving torque during the lifting process, the spring is considered to be in a broken state, which can include spring breakage or spring not being installed. When the spring is in a broken state, a prompting operation can be performed to prompt the operator to check the spring's state. The first threshold can be 1 N·m, and the second threshold can be -1 N·m. It should be noted that the above values ​​are only illustrative examples, and the first and second thresholds can be adjusted according to actual circumstances; this invention does not limit this. For example, the first threshold can also be 2N·m, 5N·m, etc., and the second threshold can also be -2N·m, -5N·m, etc.

[0033] In the above embodiments, when it is determined that the spring is in an abnormal state, the target extension and contraction of the spring can be adjusted to bring the barrier gate into a balanced state. The barrier gate being in a balanced state can include the barrier arm remaining stationary at a 45° horizontal angle.

[0034] The entity executing the above steps can be a barrier gate or a back-end processor, but is not limited to these.

[0035] This invention determines the peak value and average value of the first driving torque during the lifting process of the barrier arm, and the peak value and average value of the second driving torque during the lowering process. Based on these values, a first torque difference is determined between the lifting and lowering processes. The target state of the spring connected to the barrier arm within the barrier is determined based on this first torque difference. If the target state indicates that the spring is in an abnormal state, the target extension / retraction amount of the spring is adjusted based on the first torque difference. Since the target extension / retraction amount of the spring can be directly adjusted based on the first torque difference when the spring is determined to be in an abnormal state, without the need for manual adjustment, this invention solves the problem of low efficiency in adjusting the barrier arm's balance in related technologies, thereby improving the efficiency of barrier arm balance adjustment.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the first torque difference between the lifting process and the falling process based on the first driving torque peak value, the first average driving torque, the second driving torque peak value, and the second average driving torque includes: determining a first weighted driving torque during the lifting process based on the first driving torque peak value and the first average driving torque; determining a second weighted driving torque during the falling process based on the second driving torque peak value and the second average driving torque; and determining the difference between the second weighted driving torque and the first weighted driving torque as the first torque difference. In this embodiment, when determining the first torque difference, the driving peak torque and average torque during the falling and lifting processes can be weighted and averaged to obtain the weighted torque T". 落杆 (corresponding to the second weighted driving torque), T” 抬杆 (Corresponding to the first weighted driving torque). The first and second weighted driving torques can be calculated using the following formula: T″=c×T′ max +(1-c)×T′ avg Where c is the peak torque weight, and (1-c) is the average torque weight. The first distance difference can be expressed as ΔT″=T″ 落杆 -T″ 抬杆 .

[0037] It should be noted that when the spring is in a broken state, the second weighted driving torque is much smaller than the first weighted driving torque.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, adjusting the target extension / retraction amount of the spring based on the first torque difference includes: when the first torque difference is greater than a first threshold, repeating the following operations until the target state of the adjusted spring indicates that the spring is in a normal state: stretching the spring according to a first predetermined value, and after the stretching operation, determining a second torque difference and determining the target state based on the second torque difference; and / or when the first torque difference is less than a second threshold, repeating the following operations until the target state of the adjusted spring indicates that the spring is in a normal state: retracting the spring according to a second predetermined value, and after the retraction operation, determining a third torque difference and determining the target state based on the third torque difference. In this embodiment, if the first torque difference is greater than a first threshold, or less than a second threshold, the spring is considered to be in an abnormal state. In this case, the spring can be directly stretched or retracted. After each stretching or retracting operation, the difference in driving torque during the falling and lifting processes can be measured again, such as calculating a second torque difference or a third torque difference. The target state of the spring is determined based on the calculated driving torque difference. When the spring is in a normal state, the operation to adjust the target extension / retraction amount is exited. If the spring is still in an abnormal state, the target extension / retraction amount adjustment continues.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the stretching operation may include stretching the spring to a predetermined length, wherein the predetermined length may be a fixed length or a length that decreases gradually with increasing adjustment times. The retraction operation may include compressing the spring to a predetermined length, wherein the predetermined length may be a fixed length or a length that decreases gradually with increasing adjustment times.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, after adjusting the target extension / retraction amount of the spring based on the first torque difference, the method further includes: determining a target tension force on the spring; determining the current extension amount of the spring based on the target tension force; determining a target spring constant based on the current extension amount; and performing an alarm operation if the target spring constant meets a predetermined condition. In this embodiment, after adjusting the target extension / retraction amount, the target tension force on the spring can also be determined, the current extension amount of the spring can be determined based on the target tension force, the target spring constant can be determined based on the current extension amount, and an alarm operation can be performed if the target spring constant meets a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition may include a change in the target spring constant that is less than a predetermined threshold.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the current tension of the spring can be expressed as: Where F represents the target tension, and k represents the spring constant. When calculating the current tension for the first time, k can be the initial spring constant of the spring. As the spring is used, the spring constant may change, requiring recalculation. This refers to the spring constant recorded in the storage device. Alternatively, it can be either the initial spring constant or the spring constant obtained from the calculation.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the target tension force on the spring includes: determining a second torque difference and a third torque difference determined after each adjustment of the target extension / retraction amount of the spring within a target time period, wherein the target time period is the time period from when the spring is in an abnormal state to when the spring is in a normal state; determining a first sum of all the second torque differences and the third torque differences; determining a first product of the first sum and a first coefficient; determining a second product of the first torque difference and a second coefficient; and determining the second sum of the first product and the second product as the target tension force. In this embodiment, the target tension force can be expressed as... Among them, K P K is the proportionality coefficient (i.e., the second coefficient). I This is the integral coefficient (i.e., the first coefficient).

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the target elastic coefficient of the spring based on the current stretch amount includes: determining a first predetermined value and a second predetermined value for adjusting the target stretch amount of the spring each time within a target time period, wherein the target time period is the time period from when the spring is in an abnormal state to when the spring is in a normal state; determining a third sum of all the first predetermined values ​​and the second predetermined values; determining a target number of times to adjust the target stretch amount; determining a third product of the target number of times and the third sum; determining a fourth sum of the third product and the current stretch amount as the target stretch amount of the spring; determining a fourth product of the current stretch amount and the current elastic coefficient; and determining the ratio of the fourth product to the target stretch amount as the target elastic coefficient. In this embodiment, it can be based on... Calculate the target extension of the spring, based on Determine the target elastic coefficient. Here, x represents the spring tension after dynamic balance self-adjustment, i.e., the current tension, x' represents the target tension, k represents the current elastic coefficient, and k' represents the target elastic coefficient.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, when the target elasticity coefficient meets a predetermined condition, performing an alarm operation includes: determining a target difference between the target elasticity coefficient and the current elasticity coefficient; and performing the alarm operation when the ratio of the target difference to the current elasticity coefficient is less than a third threshold. In this embodiment, it can be based on... Calculate the percentage change in elastic coefficient k%. If the percentage change in elastic coefficient k% is lower than a third threshold, a prompt is issued indicating that the spring needs to be replaced. The third threshold can be 90%, but this value is merely an illustrative example and is not intended to limit the invention.

[0045] The method for adjusting the spring extension / retraction amount is explained below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0046] Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a method for adjusting the spring extension / retraction amount according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 ,like Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0047] The first control unit controls the first actuator to lower and raise the lever at set times, and records the motor current value during this process.

[0048] Based on the data, calculate the peak current I_drop_pole_max, I_pole_lift_pole_max, and average current I_drop_pole_avg, I_pole_lift_pole_avg for both the drop and lift operations. Then, calculate the peak torque T_drop_pole_max, T_pole_lift_pole_max, and average torque T_drop_pole_avg, T_pole_lift_pole_avg for both the drop and lift operations using the following formulas.

[0049] T = K × I

[0050] Where K is the torque coefficient of the motor and I is the motor current.

[0051] The output torque of the motor is converted into the driving torque acting on the barrier arm according to the following formula, so as to obtain the peak torque T'lowing arm max, T'raising arm max and the average torque T'lowing arm avg, T'raising arm avg.

[0052] T′=i×T

[0053] Where i is the reduction ratio from the motor to the barrier arm, and T is the motor side torque.

[0054] The peak torque and average torque during the pole lowering and raising processes are weighted and averaged according to the following formulas to obtain the weighted torques T” for pole lowering and T” for pole raising.

[0055] T″=c×T′ max +(1-c)×T′ avg

[0056] Where c is the peak torque weight and 1-c is the average torque weight.

[0057] Calculate the difference using the following formula.

[0058] ΔT″=T″ 落杆 -T″ 抬杆

[0059] Determine the equilibrium status using the following formula.

[0060]

[0061] Where a and b are the judgment thresholds, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation, with a = b = 1 N·m being the preferred value. If the lowering torque is much less than the raising torque, it can be assumed that the spring is not installed or is broken.

[0062] Based on PI calculations, the required spring preload F is obtained.

[0063]

[0064] Among them, K P K is the proportionality coefficient. I is the integral coefficient.

[0065] According to the following calculation formula, the spring extension x

[0066]

[0067] Where k is the spring constant recorded in the storage device. It can be the initial spring constant or the spring constant obtained from calculation.

[0068] The first control unit transmits the spring tension x to the second control unit via a communication circuit. The second control unit then controls the spring's movement.

[0069] Determine if the adjustment range (0, X) is exceeded. If not, repeat the above steps until ΔT″ meets the threshold, then exit the gate dynamic balancing self-adjustment program. If the range is exceeded, a warning will be issued indicating that the number of springs needs to be increased or decreased for readjustment.

[0070] Figure 7 This is a flowchart of a method for adjusting the spring extension / retraction amount according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 ,like Figure 7 As shown, the method includes:

[0071] Step 1: Count the number of times the switch is turned on and off.

[0072] Step 2: Calculate the torque for the lowering and raising of the lever (T″) every 1000 opening and closing cycles, and determine whether the difference ΔT″ falls within a reasonable range. If it falls within a reasonable range, return to Step 1; otherwise, proceed to the next step.

[0073] Step 3: Adjust the spring torque according to the change in Δx based on the value of ΔT″. Preferably, when ΔT″>1N·m, then Δx=1mm moves in the stretching direction; if ΔT″<-1N·m, then Δx=-1mm moves in the retraction direction.

[0074] Step 4: Calculate the adjusted weighted torque difference ΔT″ each time the gate is switched on and off normally.

[0075] Step 5: Determine whether the weighted moment difference ΔT″ meets the requirements.

[0076] Repeat steps three, four, and five above until the requirements are met, then stop.

[0077] Step 6: Calculate the adjusted spring tension x′ using the following formula.

[0078]

[0079] Where x is the spring tension after dynamic balance self-adjustment.

[0080] Step 7: Calculate the current elastic coefficient k′ according to the following formula.

[0081]

[0082] Where k is the initial spring constant.

[0083] Step 8: Calculate the percentage change in elasticity coefficient k% using the following formula.

[0084]

[0085] Step nine: If the percentage change in the elastic coefficient k% is below the limit, a prompt is issued indicating that the spring needs to be replaced. A preferred limit is 90%. If the limit is not exceeded, return to step one.

[0086] In the aforementioned embodiment, the barrier gate operates at its optimal state by automatically adjusting the spring preload within a certain range. If the adjustment range is exceeded, the user is prompted to increase / decrease the number of springs. Manual adjustment of the barrier gate balance is only static balance, not dynamic balance. Under dynamic balance, the output torque during the motor's lowering and raising of the arm is minimized; as the springs age with use, their elastic coefficient decreases, and the provided tension decreases. This causes the barrier gate's balance point to change. By automatically adjusting the spring preload, the barrier gate operates at its optimal state. Simultaneously, the lifespan of the springs can be qualitatively monitored. This solves the problem of the difficulty in manually adjusting the barrier gate balance. At the installation site or assembly workshop, workers need to adjust the spring preload multiple times according to the length of the barrier arm to achieve static balance at a 45° upward horizontal angle. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the barrier gate balance (such as during on-site installation or assembly, or when customers change the type and length of the barrier arm without the support of barrier gate technicians, requiring readjustment of the balance), making installation easier.

[0087] The aforementioned embodiments address the issue that users may replace or extend / cut existing barrier arms without technical support, causing the barrier to operate suboptimally and resulting in swaying during the raising and lowering process. Users can quickly resume use after replacing the barrier arm and allowing it to undergo a self-balancing process.

[0088] During the operation of the barrier gate, the spring may actually be too tight or too loose. If it is too tight, a larger torque is required when the barrier gate lowers; if it is too loose, a larger torque is required when the barrier gate raises. This will reduce the service life of the motor. The above embodiment can solve the problem that manual adjustment of the barrier gate can only achieve static balance, not dynamic balance, which causes the barrier gate to operate in a suboptimal state. It ensures that the barrier arm maintains static balance throughout its entire stroke (0° to 90°).

[0089] The aforementioned embodiments can also solve the problem that during use, due to the aging of the spring, the elastic coefficient decreases, which disrupts the original balance state, causing the barrier gate to operate in a suboptimal state and requiring the barrier gate to output a larger torque during the lifting process.

[0090] In the aforementioned embodiments, the degree of imbalance can be monitored, and the spring preload can be actively adjusted to ensure the barrier gate operates in its optimal state. Qualitative monitoring of spring life is also achieved, and the spring preload is automatically adjusted when the barrier gate's operating state changes, such as when the spring elasticity weakens.

[0091] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the methods according to the above embodiments can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platforms. Of course, they can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, in essence, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product. This computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk) and includes several instructions to cause a terminal device (which may be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in the various embodiments of the present invention.

As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that performs a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.

[0093] Figure 8This is a structural block diagram of a spring extension adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the device includes:

[0094] The first determining module 82 is used to determine the first peak value of the driving torque and the first average driving torque during the lifting process of the barrier gate arm, and the second peak value of the driving torque and the second average driving torque during the falling process of the barrier gate arm;
