[0002] Currently, the transportation of molten iron in most metallurgical enterprises cannot be fully automated, requiring manual intervention or oversight by dispatchers. However, personnel in the dispatch room cannot know the movement of locomotives or molten iron ladle cars, necessitating the installation of cameras on these vehicles to ensure dispatchers can monitor their routes. When staff need information about a particular locomotive, they must retrieve the cameras of that locomotive and its connected molten iron ladle cars. However, searching through multiple cameras on multiple cars and locomotives takes considerable time, and the repetitive nature of the task consumes significant labor resources.

[0048] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this application, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] See Figure 1 This application provides a transportation system comprising: at least one transport vehicle 20, a tractor 10, and a processing system 30. The at least one transport vehicle 20 is equipped with identification information 40. The tractor 10 is used to tow the at least one transport vehicle 20. The tractor 10 and / or the at least one transport vehicle 20 are equipped with a camera. The identification information 40 is located within the camera's field of view. The processing system 30 is connected to the camera and is used to acquire the field of view from the camera and determine the coupling sequence of the at least one transport vehicle 20 based on the field of view.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the transport vehicle 20 is provided with identification information 40. Since the tractor 10 and the at least one transport vehicle 20 are equipped with cameras, and the identification camera is within the camera's shooting frame, multiple identification information 40s can be obtained based on the camera's shooting frame. Based on the multiple identification information 40s, the coupling sequence of at least one transport vehicle 20 can be further obtained.

[0053] Furthermore, embodiments of this application provide the following methods for setting the camera and the identification information 40. Firstly, a first camera 51 is installed on the tractor 10; the identification information 40 of the at least one transport vehicle 20 is located within the image captured by the first camera 51; the processing system 30 is also used to determine the coupling sequence of the at least one transport vehicle 20 based on the image captured by the first camera 51.

[0054] See Figure 1 The tractor 10 is equipped with a first camera 51. Each transport vehicle 20 has an identification mark above it, which is a QR code. Each QR code is set at a different position in the vertical direction along the driving direction. Therefore, the image captured by the first camera 51 includes the identification information 40 of all tractor 10s. The processing system 30 analyzes the captured image and, based on the size of the identification information 40, parses the distance relationship between different transport vehicles 20 and tractor 10, thereby determining the coupling sequence of at least one transport vehicle 20.

[0055] It should be noted that the identification information 40 can also be other identification methods besides QR codes that can distinguish different transport vehicles 20, such as barcodes. Furthermore, the orientation of the identification information 40 does not necessarily have to be perpendicular to the direction of travel; it can be in other directions, as long as the setting method satisfies the requirement that all identification information 40 exists in the image captured by the first camera 51, and the processing system 30 can determine the front-to-back relationship of at least one transport vehicle 20 based on the image captured by the first camera 51, thereby determining the coupling sequence of at least one transport vehicle 20.

[0056] In the above implementation process, a first camera 51 is installed on the tractor 10. Since the tractor 10 is located at the front of at least one transport vehicle 20, the identification information 40 of at least one transport vehicle 20 is located in the shooting frame of the first camera 51. Based on the shooting frame of the tractor 10, the coupling sequence of at least one transport vehicle 20 can be obtained.

[0057] See Figure 2This application embodiment provides a second camera and the related implementation functions of the setting structure and processing system for the identification information 40: a first camera 51 is provided on the tractor 10; a second camera 52 is provided on the at least one transport vehicle 20; the identification information 40 of the first transport vehicle 21 coupled to the tractor 10 in the at least one transport vehicle 20 is located in the shooting frame of the first camera 51; the identification information 40 of the second transport vehicle 22 (excluding the first transport vehicle) in the at least one transport vehicle 20 is located in the shooting frame of the second camera 52 of the third transport vehicle 23 coupled to the second transport vehicle 22 in the coupling direction; the processing system 30 is also used to obtain the coupling sequence of the at least one transport vehicle 20 according to the shooting frames of the first camera 51 and the second camera 52.

[0058] For example, see Figure 3 The tractor unit 10 is equipped with a first camera 51, and each transport vehicle 20 is equipped with a second camera 52 and identification information 40. The image captured by the first camera 51 on the tractor unit 10 includes the identification information 40 of the first transport vehicle 21 directly connected to the tractor unit 10. Along the travel direction of the tractor unit 10, the image captured by the second camera 52 on the second transport vehicle 22 ahead includes the identification information 40 of the third transport vehicle 23 directly connected to the second transport vehicle 22. The processing system 30 first collects the images captured by each camera, obtains the first transport vehicle 21 connected to the tractor unit 10 based on the image captured by the first camera 51, determines the transport vehicle 20 directly connected to the first transport vehicle 21 based on the image captured by the first transport vehicle 21, and so on, ultimately determining the connection method of all transport vehicles 20 towed by the tractor unit 10.

[0059] The above method is applicable when the tractor 10 needs to tow a large number of transport vehicles 20 and the pixel count of the image captured by the first camera 51 is low. It is understood that this application does not limit the method to other uses.

[0060] In one possible implementation, identification information 40 is provided at the first end of the transport vehicle 20, and a second camera 52 is provided at the second end. The first segment of the second transport vehicle 22 is connected to the second end of the third transport vehicle 23.

[0061] For example, see Figure 3The first side of the transport vehicle 20 is equipped with identification information 40, and the second side of the transport vehicle 20 is equipped with a second camera 52. The first and second sides are positioned opposite each other. The second side of the second transport vehicle 22 is connected to the first side of the third transport vehicle 23. The identification information 40 of the third transport vehicle 23 is captured in the image of the second transport vehicle 22. The processing system 30 can access all the second cameras 52 of at least one transport vehicle 20 to obtain the connection relationships between all the transport vehicles 20.

[0062] In one possible implementation, all cameras and all identification information are set on the side of the transport vehicle opposite to other transport vehicles / tractors.
