Further, the sensor is a grating detection tube, and the sending end and the receiving end of the grating detection tube are arranged on the two sides of the gantry 4.

[0072] Embodiment two:

[0073] As shown in Figures 4 to 8 Embodiments of the present application also provide a vehicle foreign matter removing method, which is used in the vehicle foreign matter removing system.

[0074] As shown in Figure 4 Specifically, the vehicle foreign matter removing method comprises:

[0075] S200, starting the system power supply.

[0076] S300, whether to select an automatic control mode: if yes, step S400 is performed, and if no, step S500 is performed.

[0077] S400, the transportation device 1 is started, the detection device is started and sends the first state information, the control box receives and controls the blowing device and the dust collecting device to start or close according to the first state information; specifically, the sensor in the detection device is used to detect whether there is vehicle 100 information and send the first state information, further, the sensor selects the optical grating detection pair tube, when the vehicle 100 enters the optical grating detection pair tube, the receiving end of the optical grating detection pair tube will generate corresponding first state information according to the change of the optical signal; in detail, when the vehicle 100 information is detected, the first state information is "yes", and when the vehicle 100 information is not detected, the first state information is "no".

[0078] S500, manually control the start or close of the transportation device 1, the blowing device and the dust collecting device.

[0079] S600, the vehicle 100 is all cleared, and the system power is turned off.

[0080] The embodiment of the application provides two control modes of the vehicle foreign matter clearing system: an automatic control mode and a manual control mode. The working personnel can switch the control mode through the mode switch, the vehicle foreign matter clearing system is provided with the automatic control mode, the automatic working of the system is realized, the detection device and the control box are matched, and then the blowing device and the dust collecting device are selectively started or closed, so that the energy consumption can be greatly saved, the clearing effect of the vehicle 100 is improved, and the labor cost is reduced. In addition, in order to ensure that the system can normally operate when the automatic control mode has a problem, the vehicle foreign matter clearing system is further provided with the automatic control mode, the start or close of the transportation device 1, the blowing device and the dust collecting device is manually controlled by the working personnel, and it is ensured that the system can be applied to various situations.

[0081] As shown in Figure 5 Further, the specific steps of controlling the blowing device and the dust collecting device to start or close according to the first state information include:

[0082] S410, whether the vehicle 100 enters the detection device is judged according to the first state information: if yes, step S420 is performed; if no, step S440 is performed.

[0083] S420, the blowing device and the dust collecting device are controlled to start.

[0084] S430, whether the vehicle 100 moves out of the detection device is judged according to the first state information: if yes, step S440 is performed; if no, step S420 is performed.

[0085] S440, the blowing device and the dust collecting device are controlled to close.

[0086] The vehicle 100 is detected by the detecting device, and corresponding first state information is sent. When a vehicle 100 enters, the blowing device and the dust collecting device start to work. When no vehicle 100 is detected, the blowing device and the dust collecting device stop working. The advantage of such an arrangement is that when the time interval between two adjacent vehicles 100 is slightly long, the blowing device and the dust collecting device can temporarily stop working, thereby effectively saving unnecessary energy waste.

[0087] As shown in Figure 6 Further, after the vehicle 100 enters the detecting device and before the blowing device and the dust collecting device are controlled to start, the following steps are further included:

[0088] S4110, the control box controls the transportation device 1 to stop, starts timing and sends first time information, and the control box receives the first time information.

[0089] S4120, it is judged whether the first time information exceeds a first threshold value: if yes, step S4130 is performed, and if no, step S4110 is performed.

[0090] S4130, the transportation device 1 is controlled to start.

[0091] In order to ensure the effect of removing foreign matters from the vehicle 100, the transportation device 1 is temporarily stopped after the vehicle 100 enters the blowing device and the dust collecting device, thereby prolonging the blowing time for a single vehicle 100 and improving the blowing effect for a single vehicle 100. Specifically, in the embodiment, the first threshold value can be set to 10-60 seconds, and preferably, the first threshold value is set to 30 seconds.

[0092] As shown in Figure 6 Further, after step S4130, the following steps are further included:

[0093] S4140, it is judged whether the transportation device 1 is started: if yes, step S4170 is performed, and if no, step S4150 is performed.

[0094] S4150, it is judged whether the first time information exceeds a second threshold value: if yes, step S4160 is performed, and if no, step S4140 is performed.

[0095] S4160, the blowing device and the dust collecting device are controlled to be closed.

[0096] S4170, the timing is stopped.

[0097] When the transport device 1 cannot be restarted after a short stop, the transport device 1, the blowing device and the dust collecting device are closed. In this way, the energy waste caused by the long-time invalid work of the blowing device and the dust collecting device can be effectively avoided, and the safety problems such as overheating can be avoided. Specifically, the second threshold is 5-20 seconds longer than the first threshold, and preferably 10 seconds longer.

[0098] In addition, if the time interval between two adjacent vehicles 100 is short, that is, the previous vehicle 100 just drives out of the detection area of the detection device, and the next vehicle 100 enters the detection area, the above setting will cause the blowing device and the dust collecting device to be closed and started frequently in a short time, which is easy to cause damage to the machine, reduce the working efficiency and increase the production cost.

[0099] Therefore, as shown in Figure 7 Further, after the vehicle 100 moves out of the detection device, the following steps are further included:

[0100] S4310, start timing and send second time information, and the control box receives the second time information.

[0101] S4320, determine whether a vehicle 100 enters the detection device: if yes, proceed to step S4420, if no, proceed to step S4330.

[0102] S4330, determine whether the second time information exceeds the third threshold: if yes, proceed to step S4410, if no, proceed to step S4320.

[0103] S4410, control the blowing device and the dust collecting device to be closed.

[0104] S4420, stop timing.

[0105] Specifically, the third threshold is set to be between 1 second and 60 seconds, and preferably 5 seconds. By setting the third threshold, the starting time of the blowing device and the dust collecting device can be extended. If a vehicle 100 enters within this time, the timing is stopped, and the blowing device and the dust collecting device remain in the starting state to continue the foreign matter cleaning work; if no vehicle 100 enters within this time, the blowing device and the dust collecting device are closed, and the timing is stopped. The above method can avoid the frequent closing and starting of the blowing device and the dust collecting device in a short time, thereby avoiding the damage to the machine, and improving the working efficiency.

[0106] In detail, in the present embodiment, the timer can be used for timing, and the timer is communicatively connected with the control box. Of course, other ways can also be used.

[0107] As shown in Figure 8As shown in the figure, specifically, the specific steps of manually controlling the start or stop of the transport device 1, the blowing device and the dust collecting device include:

[0108] S510, the transport device 1 is started by the transport switch, the vehicle 100 is driven to run on the predetermined track, the blowing device is started by the blowing switch before the vehicle 100 enters the blowing device and the dust collecting device, and the dust collecting device is started by the dust collecting switch.

[0109] S520, after the vehicle 100 passes through the blowing device and the dust collecting device, the blowing device is stopped by the blowing switch, and the dust collecting device is stopped by the dust collecting switch.

[0110] Preferably, in step S510, the blowing switch starts the blowing device, and the start time of the dust collecting device is delayed, and the delay time can be 1-5 seconds. After the blowing device is started, the blowing device cannot immediately blow away the foreign matter, and the blowing device is started in advance, so that the dust collecting device is delayed to start, which can further save energy consumption.

[0111] Preferably, in step S520, one or more suction fans in the dust collecting device are optionally started. Before the vehicle 100 enters the foreign matter removing system, the staff can observe the foreign matter of the vehicle 100 in advance, and selectively start the number of suction fans, so as to maximize the energy saving under the premise of ensuring the cleaning effect.
