Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of walk-through detector technology, and more particularly to a coil structure, attitude recognition method, and detector for a walk-through detector. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional detection technologies, coils are installed inside the door panels on both sides of the walk-through detector. The magnetic field lines inside the detector are distributed horizontally from one side of the door panel to the other. When a person carrying a plate-shaped metal object, such as a mobile phone, tablet, or copper plate, passes through the walk-through detector while keeping the maximum cross-section of the plate-shaped metal object parallel to the direction of the horizontal magnetic field lines, the eddy current effect generated is small because the cross-section of the plate-shaped metal object passing through the horizontal magnetic field lines is very small, and fewer magnetic field lines pass through. As a result, the detected eddy current signal is weak, which may lead to the detector missing detections. The reliability of the detection results is greatly reduced. In other words, traditional walk-through detectors cannot guarantee that metal panels or mobile phones can be detected in any posture.

[0003] In addition, regulators in the field of detector applications hope to be able to detect the posture of plate-shaped metal objects in order to more easily find the location where the person being tested has hidden the plate-shaped metal object. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a coil structure for a walk-through detector, a method for recognizing the posture of a plate-shaped metal object, and a detector, which improves the detection reliability of the walk-through detector, reduces missed detections, and identifies the posture of the object passing through the detection area.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a coil structure for a through-type detector, comprising: a pair of transmitting coils arranged opposite each other on both sides, with an intermediate channel between them for the passage of the object to be measured;

[0006] Each side of the bilateral transmitting coil group includes a first transmitting coil, a second transmitting coil, and a third transmitting coil. The first transmitting coil includes an upper coil and a lower coil, and is respectively located within the area enclosed by the second and third transmitting coils. The normal directions of the upper and lower coils on each side are opposite at the same time, and the normal directions of the two upper coils in the bilateral transmitting coil group are opposite at the same time. The normal directions of the bilateral second transmitting coils are in the same direction, and the normal directions of the bilateral third transmitting coils are opposite. Within the three-dimensional space of the intermediate channel, electromagnetic fields are formed in three directions: x, y, and z. The x-direction is perpendicular to the door panel, the y-direction is through the intermediate channel, and the z-direction is perpendicular to the ground. The x, y, and z directions are mutually perpendicular.

[0007] In this scheme, an electromagnetic field in the x-axis direction is generated by the normal direction of the double-sided second transmitting coils arranged in the same direction; an electromagnetic field in the y-axis direction is generated by the normal direction of the double-sided third transmitting coils arranged in opposite directions. Because the normals of the upper and lower coils of the double-sided first transmitting coils are opposite, and the normals of the upper coils on both sides are opposite, the electromagnetic fields are relatively compressed, forcing the magnetic field of the upper coil on one side to enter the lower coil on the same side, forming a ring-shaped magnetic field, thus generating a magnetic field in the z-axis direction. Therefore, when the maximum cross-section of the plate-shaped metal object is in any of the x, y, and z directions, a large number of magnetic field lines can pass through, generating a strong eddy current signal, thereby improving the reliability of the coil structure in detecting plate-shaped metal objects and avoiding missed detections. The first transmitting coil is placed within the area enclosed by the second transmitting coils, compensating for the loss of the magnetic field in the x-axis direction caused by the magnetic field compression of the upper and lower coils of the first transmitting coil structure due to their opposite normals, further improving the detection sensitivity of the coil structure when detecting plate-shaped metal objects parallel to the door panel. The first transmitting coil is positioned within the area enclosed by the third transmitting coil, further enhancing the magnetic field strength in the y-axis direction of the middle portion of the intermediate channel corresponding to the adjacent positions of the upper and lower coils.

[0008] As an improvement to the above scheme, the first transmitting coil operates at a first frequency, the second transmitting coil operates at a second frequency, and the third transmitting coil operates at a third frequency.

[0009] In this scheme, the first, second, and third transmitting coils are set with different frequencies to facilitate the differentiation of the magnetic fields generated by the corresponding transmitting coils in the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis directions during detection, and to determine the posture of the plate-shaped metal object by the magnetic fields in the corresponding directions.

[0010] Preferably, the upper coil and the lower coil are electrically connected.

[0011] Optionally, the upper and lower coils are electrically disconnected.

[0012] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for recognizing the posture of a plate-shaped metal object, employing the coil structure of the aforementioned through-type detector. The method includes the following steps:

[0013] A plate-shaped metal object passes through the middle channel, and the receiving coil receives signals containing a first frequency, a second frequency, and a third frequency.

[0014] Selectively acquire signals at a first frequency, a second frequency, and a third frequency, and extract data from the first frequency, the second frequency, and the third frequency signals respectively;

[0015] Select the largest data point;

[0016] The maximum data is extracted from one of the frequency signals while the data of the other two frequency signals are very small. The transmitting coil corresponding to that frequency generates a magnetic field in the corresponding direction that passes through the maximum cross-section of the metal object. It is determined that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object and passes through in an attitude perpendicular to the direction of the maximum cross-section of the plate-shaped metal object.

[0017] As an improvement to the above solution, the method is specifically as follows:

[0018] The maximum data is extracted from the first frequency signal. The data of the second and third frequency signals are very small. The magnetic field in the z-axis direction passes through the maximum cross section of the metal object. It can be determined that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object, and it passes through the maximum cross section of the plate-shaped metal object in an attitude that is perpendicular to the z-axis (parallel to the ground).

[0019] As an improvement to the above solution, the method is specifically as follows:

[0020] The maximum data is extracted from the second frequency signal. The data of the first and third frequency signals are very small. The magnetic field in the x-axis direction passes through the maximum cross section of the metal object. It can be determined that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object, and it passes through the maximum cross section of the plate-shaped metal object in an attitude perpendicular to the x-axis (parallel to the door panel).

[0021] As an improvement to the above solution, the method is specifically as follows:

[0022] The maximum data is extracted from the third frequency signal. The data of the first and second frequency signals are very small. The magnetic field in the y-axis direction passes through the maximum cross section of the metal object. It can be determined that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object, and it passes through the maximum cross section of the plate-shaped metal object in an orientation that is perpendicular to the y-axis (parallel to the abdomen).

[0023] As an improvement to the above scheme, the method further includes displaying the attitude information detection results through text and / or images. Optionally, the data of the first frequency signal, the second frequency signal, and the third frequency signal are selected from one or any combination of metal strength value, metal phase value, and metal phase fluctuation value.

[0024] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a through-type detector, which includes

[0025] The coil structure of the through-type detector described above;

[0026] A signal receiving unit is used to receive signals containing a first frequency, a second frequency, and a third frequency;

[0027] The frequency selection unit is used to selectively acquire signals of a first frequency, a second frequency, and a third frequency.

[0028] The extraction unit is used to extract data from the first frequency signal, the second frequency signal, and the third frequency signal;

[0029] The comparison unit is used to select the largest data point;

[0030] The judgment unit is used when the maximum data is extracted from one of the frequency signals, while the data of the other two frequency signals are very small. The transmitting coil of the corresponding frequency generates a magnetic field in the corresponding direction that passes through the maximum cross section of the metal object, and determines that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object, and that it passes through the maximum cross section of the plate-shaped metal object in an attitude perpendicular to the direction stated therein.

[0031] As an improvement to the above scheme, the judgment unit also includes

[0032] The first judgment unit is used to identify that when the maximum data is extracted from the first frequency signal, the data of the second and third frequency signals are very small, and the magnetic field in the z-axis direction passes through the maximum cross section of the metal object. It is then determined that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object, and that it passes through the object with the maximum cross section of the plate-shaped metal object parallel to the ground.

[0033] As an improvement to the above scheme, the judgment unit also includes

[0034] The second judgment unit is used to identify that when the maximum data is extracted from the second frequency signal, the data of the first frequency signal and the third frequency signal are very small, and the magnetic field in the x-axis direction passes through the maximum cross section of the metal object. It is then determined that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object, and that it passes through the plate-shaped metal object with the maximum cross section being parallel to the door panel.

[0035] As an improvement to the above scheme, the judgment unit also includes

[0036] The third judgment unit is used to identify that when the maximum data is extracted from the third frequency signal, the data of the first frequency signal and the second frequency signal are very small. The magnetic field in the y-axis direction passes through the maximum cross section of the metal object, which can determine that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object, and that it passes through the plate-shaped metal object with the maximum cross section parallel to the abdomen.

[0037] As an improvement to the above solution, the detector further includes a display unit for displaying the attitude information detection results through text and / or images. Optionally, the data of the first frequency signal, the second frequency signal, and the third frequency signal are selected from one or any combination of metal strength value, metal phase value, and metal phase fluctuation value.

[0038] Beneficial effects

[0039] The coil structure of this through-type detector generates electromagnetic fields in the y and z directions in the middle channel through the upper and lower coils of the first transmitting line. The second transmitting coils on both sides generate a stronger electromagnetic field in the x direction. The magnetic fields of the third transmitting coils on both sides are relatively compressed, generating a magnetic field strength in the y-axis direction in the middle part of the channel corresponding to the adjacent positions of the upper and lower coils. This allows a large number of magnetic field lines to pass through the maximum cross-section of the plate-shaped metal object in any of the x, y, and z directions, generating strong eddy current signals and improving the reliability of the coil structure in detecting plate-shaped metal objects. Furthermore, the plate-shaped metal object attitude identification method separates the received signal at different frequencies. The largest data collected at the three frequencies indicates that the receiving coil measures a larger induced signal at the corresponding frequency electromagnetic field. Since the magnetic field lines of the corresponding frequency magnetic field pass through the maximum cross-section of the metal object, it can be determined that the maximum cross-section of the plate-shaped metal object is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines in that specific direction, thus determining the attitude of the plate-shaped metal object and achieving attitude identification. Moreover, the detector possesses various functional modules for attitude identification of plate-shaped metal objects. Attached Figure Description

[0045] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a through-type detector provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0046] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0047] The plate-shaped metal articles in each embodiment are mobile phones, tablets, copper plates, and other plate-shaped metal articles.

[0048] See Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the coil structure of a through-type detector 3 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The coil structure includes transmitting coils 1 and 2 arranged opposite each other on both sides, forming a central channel for the passage of the object being measured. Transmitting coil 1 consists of an upper coil 111, a lower coil 112, a transmitting coil 113, and a transmitting coil 114. The upper coil 111 and the lower coil 112 are wound in opposite directions on the same conductor. The upper coil 111 and the lower coil 112 operate at a first frequency, the transmitting coil 113 operates at a second frequency, and the transmitting coil 114 operates at a third frequency. Transmitting coil 2 consists of an upper coil 211, a lower coil 212, a transmitting coil 213, and a transmitting coil 214. The upper coil 211 and the lower coil 212 are wound in opposite directions on the same conductor. The upper coil 211 and the lower coil 212 operate at the first frequency, the transmitting coil 213 operates at the second frequency, and the transmitting coil 214 operates at the third frequency. Transmitting coil 1 and transmitting coil 2 are the same shape and size, and the centers of the two coils coincide, that is, the coil projections overlap.

[0049] The transmitting coils 113 and 213 are energized with a second frequency current. The signals on both sides are 0 degrees out of phase and the normals of the coils on both sides are in the same direction. The magnetic field in the measured area of ​​the middle channel is mainly a magnetic field along the horizontal direction of the x-axis.

[0050] Transmitting coils 114 and 214 are fed with a third frequency current, and the signals on both sides are 180 degrees out of phase. The magnetic field in the measured area of ​​the middle channel is mainly along the y-axis.

[0051] Transmitting coils 111 and 211 are energized with a first-frequency current, and the signals on both sides are 180 degrees out of phase. Transmitting coils 112 and 212 are also energized with a first-frequency current, and the signals on both sides are 180 degrees out of phase. The resulting magnetic field lines of the upper coils on both sides are relatively compressed, causing them to shift towards the y and z axes within the middle channel. The normals of the lower coils on both sides are opposite, forming a larger annular magnetic field within the middle channel. The magnetic field generated in the middle channel is mainly along the y and z axes.

[0052] When the metal plate and the maximum cross-section of the mobile phone are parallel to the x-axis and y-axis, for example, parallel to the ground, the electromagnetic field generated by the first frequency current has the greatest magnetic induction intensity in the z-axis direction of the middle channel. The magnetic field lines pass through the maximum cross-section of the metal plate and the mobile phone, and the eddy current effect is the greatest, which can detect the object under test.

[0053] When the metal plate and the maximum cross-section of the mobile phone are parallel to the y-axis and z-axis, such as when they are parallel to a door panel, the electromagnetic field generated by the second frequency current has the greatest magnetic induction intensity in the x-axis direction of the middle channel. The magnetic field lines pass through the maximum cross-section of the metal plate and the mobile phone, and the eddy current effect is the greatest, which can detect the object under test.

[0054] When the metal plate and the maximum cross-section of the mobile phone are parallel to the x-axis and z-axis, such as parallel to the human abdomen, the electromagnetic field generated by the third frequency current has the greatest magnetic induction intensity in the y-axis direction of the middle channel. The magnetic field lines pass through the maximum cross-section of the metal plate and the mobile phone, and the eddy current effect is the greatest, which can detect the object under test.

[0055] By complementing electromagnetic fields of different frequencies within the measured area, a magnetic field is formed that exists simultaneously in the x, y, and z axes. Therefore, regardless of the posture in which the metal plate or mobile phone passes through the detector, the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the measured object can generate an effective eddy current effect, greatly improving the detection rate of the measured object.

[0056] If the person being inspected conceals their mobile phone inside a book or document, parallel to the ground (perpendicular to the z-axis and parallel to the x and y axes), and passes through the detection channel, the receiving coil will detect the largest data at the first frequency (z-axis), while the receiving coil will detect smaller data at the second frequency (x-axis) and third frequency (y-axis). This indicates that the object is a plate-shaped item, and the mobile phone passes through the detection channel in an attitude parallel to the ground.

[0057] If a person being inspected conceals a cube-shaped object in the middle of the passage, the detection coil will measure large values ​​in all three directions, indicating that the object is a non-plate-shaped three-dimensional object.

[0058] See Figure 2 This is a front view of the coil structure of a through-type detector provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Transmitting coils 111 and 211, and 112 and 212, are on the same horizontal plane with opposite magnetic field lines on their left and right sides. Within the middle channel, the magnetic field lines deflect towards the z-axis, thus generating a z-axis magnetic field in this region. Transmitting coils 114 and 214 are on the same horizontal plane with opposite magnetic field lines on their left and right sides, generating a z-axis magnetic field in the upper and lower parts of the middle channel.

[0059] Transmitting coil 113 and transmitting coil 213 have magnetic field lines in the same direction at the same level, generating a magnetic field in the x-axis direction in the middle channel, indicated by a hollow arrow.

[0060] See Figure 3 This is a top view of the coil structure of a through-type detector provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Transmitting coils 114 and 214 operate at a third frequency. The magnetic field lines of the left and right coils are in opposite directions, and within the middle channel, the magnetic field lines deflect towards the y-axis, thus generating a y-axis magnetic field in this region, indicated by a dashed arrow. Transmitting coils 111 and 211 operate at a first frequency. The magnetic field lines of the left and right coils are in opposite directions, and within the middle channel, the magnetic field lines deflect towards the y-axis, thus generating a y-axis magnetic field in this region, indicated by a solid triangular arrow.

[0061] See Figure 4 This is a bottom view of the coil structure of a through-type detector provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The transmitting coils 114 and 214 have magnetic field lines in opposite directions on their left and right sides. Within the middle channel, the magnetic field lines deflect towards the y-axis, thus generating a y-axis magnetic field in this region, indicated by a dotted-dash arrow. Similarly, the transmitting coils 112 and 212 have magnetic field lines in opposite directions on their left and right sides. Within the middle channel, the magnetic field lines deflect towards the y-axis, thus generating a y-axis magnetic field in this region, indicated by a solid triangular arrow.

[0062] See Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the coil structure of a through-type detector provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, except that the upper coil 111 and the lower coil 112 of the transmitting coil 1 are electrically disconnected, and the upper coil 211 and the lower coil 212 of the transmitting coil 2 are electrically disconnected. The two embodiments operate on the same principle.

[0063] Embodiment 3 of the present invention provides a method for attitude recognition of a plate-shaped metal object, which uses the coil structure of the through-type detector of Embodiment 1 as the implementation environment. The method includes the following steps:

It can be determined that the object being tested is a plate-shaped metal object, and it passes through the maximum cross section of the plate-shaped metal object in an attitude perpendicular to the y-axis.

The extraction unit extracts data corresponding to the first frequency signal, the second frequency signal, and the third frequency signal, including the metal strength value, the metal phase value, and the metal phase fluctuation value, either individually or in any combination. The comparison unit calculates the maximum data.
