However, the production areas of coal are scattered, and coal transportation has become a top priority for the development of the coal industry. In port operations, especially during coal loading, unloading and storage, the generation of dust is a common problem. These dusts not only pollute the environment, but also may affect the health of port workers. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of coal dust may cause respiratory diseases. Therefore, effectively controlling and reducing the concentration of coal dust in ports is of great significance to protecting the health of workers and improving the level of port safety production.

[0039] Example

[0040] Existing dust reduction equipment usually uses fog cannons, which mainly generate fine water mist particles through a high-pressure spray system, and use fans to spray these water mist particles into the air. When the water mist particles come into contact with the dust particles in the air, a series of physical effects will occur, thereby achieving the purpose of dust reduction. Usually, the staff manually adjusts the position and posture of the fog cannon, and actively performs dust reduction operations at a fixed point, or plans the dust reduction execution path in advance and automatically performs multi-point dust reduction. However, the port area is large, and the dust is generated relatively randomly. It is necessary to adjust the position and posture of the fog cannon from time to time. Automatic cruising cannot guarantee the dust removal effect, and manual operation consumes a lot of manpower. To this end, this embodiment proposes a port adaptive intelligent dust reduction robot and a dust reduction method thereof.

The controller controls the sound and light alarm 2 to alarm and feedback is given through a wireless remote controller.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the port dust reduction method implemented as above may include the following steps:

[0047] a. Before the operation begins, the staff uses a wireless controller to remotely control the port adaptive intelligent dust suppression robot to reach the designated work area and connect the water supply pipe to the water source to ensure that the robot can receive a continuous water supply;

[0048] b. The image information of the on-site working environment is captured by the on-board camera 1, and then transmitted to the controller. The controller analyzes and processes the image, identifies the specific location where the dust is generated, and controls the fog cannon 15 to perform precise dust reduction operations on the specific area.

[0049] Specifically, when performing dust removal position positioning, images of the working environment are continuously captured, and preprocessing operations such as denoising and contrast enhancement are performed on the received images to improve image quality. Denoising refers to the interference of various noises on the image during transmission or capture, such as Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise, etc. The purpose of denoising is to reduce the impact of these noises on image quality. Commonly used denoising methods include median filtering, Gaussian filtering, bilateral filtering, etc. Contrast is a measure of the difference between light and dark areas in an image. By enhancing the contrast, the details in the image can be made clearer, especially for those areas with similar grayscale values ​​but belonging to different objects. Contrast enhancement methods include histogram equalization, gamma correction, etc.

[0050] Next, the dust features in the image are extracted using an image processing algorithm, including the following steps: S1: Remove noise from the image by filtering to improve the image quality. Adjust the image contrast, brightness, etc. to make the dust features more obvious, and complete the preprocessing. S2: According to the characteristics of the dust features, select the Sobel operator for edge detection to extract the edge information in the image. Then refine the extracted edges to obtain a more accurate edge contour. S3: Convert the edge-processed image from the RGB color space to a color space more suitable for color segmentation, and set a suitable color threshold in the HSV color space according to the color characteristics of the dust. Then, according to the set color threshold, separate the dust area in the image from other areas. S4: According to the texture characteristics of the dust, select the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) as the texture analysis algorithm, and apply the selected texture analysis algorithm to the dust area after color segmentation to extract the texture characteristics of the dust. Quantify the extracted texture features to obtain texture feature values ​​that can be used for subsequent analysis. S5: Filter the extracted texture feature values ​​to remove redundant or irrelevant features.

[0051] Furthermore, the extracted features are analyzed by a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify the specific location where the dust is generated. Specifically, the extracted features are analyzed using a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN). These models have learned the feature representation of dust areas and are able to match new image features with known features to identify dust areas. Once the dust areas are identified, it is necessary to mark the boundaries of these areas in the image, which is usually achieved by generating a mask image of the same size as the original image, in which the dust areas are marked with specific colors or values. Then, the coordinate positions of these areas (such as center points, bounding boxes, etc.) can be calculated, and based on this information, the angle and position of the fog cannon that needs to be adjusted can be determined.

[0052] Finally, based on the coordinate position of the dust area, the angle and position that the fog cannon needs to adjust can be calculated. This usually involves converting the image coordinate system into the physical coordinate system of the fog cannon, and taking into account factors such as the spray range and angle limit of the fog cannon. Then, the corresponding control instructions are generated and sent to the fog cannon to perform dust reduction operations.

[0053] c. The ultrasonic wind speed and direction meter 16 monitors the ambient wind conditions in real time and sends the relevant data to the controller and the wireless remote control. Based on this information, the controller makes a preliminary adjustment to the spray angle of the fog cannon 15. In addition, combined with the image data provided by the two cameras 1, the controller can make a more precise compensation adjustment to the spray angle of the fog cannon to adapt to the complex on-site environment.

[0054] d. During the dust reduction operation, if the staff observes that the dust reduction level needs to be adjusted, or finds that the current dust reduction effect does not meet the expected requirements, they can intervene through the wireless remote control to make real-time adjustments to parameters such as the dust reduction position, water mist concentration, and spraying distance to achieve the best dust reduction effect.

[0055] e. During the operation of the entire robot, the camera 1, the water pressure sensor 10 and the water flow sensor 9 will continue to collect working data and transmit this information to the wireless remote control in real time. Once the data abnormality is detected, the robot will automatically activate the alarm system and promptly notify the staff to take appropriate measures. Specifically, the water pressure sensor 10 is used to monitor the water pressure in the pipeline in real time, which is crucial to ensure that the system will not be damaged due to excessive pressure or insufficient flow due to too low pressure. When the water pressure exceeds the preset safety threshold, the controller receives feedback information and controls the intelligent water pump 8 to adjust the pump pressure to prevent pipeline rupture or other potential dangers. The water pressure sensor 10 usually uses the piezoresistive effect, piezoelectric effect or strain gauge principle to measure pressure. When the water pressure in the pipeline acts on the sensor, the components inside the sensor will deform, thereby generating an electrical signal. After amplification and processing, this electrical signal can be converted into a readable pressure value. The water flow sensor 9 is used for the water flow sensor to accurately measure the liquid flow through the pipeline. By monitoring the flow change, pipeline blockage, leakage or other faults can be detected in time, so that measures can be taken quickly to repair them. The working principles of water flow sensors are varied, and the common ones are turbine type, electromagnetic type, ultrasonic type, etc. Taking the turbine type as an example, when the fluid flows through the sensor, it drives the internal turbine to rotate, and the speed of the turbine is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid. The sensor can calculate the flow rate of the fluid by measuring the speed of the turbine. According to the data fed back by the water pressure sensor 10 and the water flow sensor 9, the robot can automatically control the intelligent water pump 8 to adjust the pump pressure, and can generate an alarm synchronously through the sound and light alarm 2 and the remote control. In addition, the data collected by the sensor can be recorded for subsequent analysis and optimization. These data can help engineers understand the operating status of the system, find potential problems, and propose improvement plans.

[0056] At the same time, the ultrasonic radar 7 will also continue to collect environmental information, assist the camera 1 in determining whether there are people approaching, and when a person is found approaching, the sound and light alarm 2 will be activated to drive away, so as to ensure the safety and efficiency of the dust reduction operation. In this embodiment, the ultrasonic radar 7, the camera 1 and the sound and light alarm 2 together constitute an intelligent monitoring system, which is intended to improve the safety of the area and prevent unauthorized persons from approaching the equipment. Specifically, when performing dust removal operations, the ultrasonic radar 7 continuously emits ultrasonic pulses to the surrounding environment and receives the signals reflected by these pulses by objects. By analyzing the time difference and intensity of the reflected signal, the distance, speed and direction of the object can be calculated. The measurement method of the ultrasonic radar 7 is non-contact measurement, so it will not cause damage to the measured object, and it is suitable for working under various environmental conditions. The ultrasonic radar is very sensitive to the detection of moving objects, and even small-scale movements can be quickly captured, with the characteristics of ultra-high sensitivity. The camera 1 provides intuitive visual information of the monitoring area by capturing real-time video images. Combined with image processing technology and artificial intelligence algorithms, the camera 1 can perform intelligent analysis of video images and identify specific objects in the image (such as faces, human body contours, etc.).

[0057] In this embodiment, the camera 1 mainly assists the ultrasonic radar 7 in making a judgment. When the ultrasonic radar 7 detects that an object is approaching, the camera will immediately capture the image of the area and perform intelligent analysis to confirm whether there is a person approaching. If it is confirmed that there is a person, the subsequent action will be further triggered. The specific execution steps are as follows: First, the ultrasonic radar 7 continuously monitors the surroundings, continuously emits ultrasonic pulses to the surrounding environment, and receives reflected signals to calculate the distance and speed of the object; when the ultrasonic radar detects that an object is approaching, it will issue a preliminary warning signal (although it may not directly trigger an alarm in this scenario, it will serve as a trigger condition for the camera to start); the camera 1 detects the dust reduction working area, captures the image of the area, and performs intelligent analysis to confirm whether there is a person approaching; if the camera 1 confirms that there is a person approaching, the sound and light alarm 2 will be immediately activated to send out a strong sound and light signal to drive away. In this way, the ultrasonic radar 7, the camera 1 and the sound and light alarm 2 together constitute an efficient and intelligent monitoring system, which effectively improves the safety and management efficiency of the robot.

[0058] The following is an illustration of the application scenario of the present invention, an open-air port working surface. Figure 4As shown, the working scene is a port working surface: the port adaptive intelligent dust reduction robot 22 is arranged on the side of the coal pile 23, and the water source 24 is connected to the port adaptive intelligent dust reduction robot 22 through a water supply hose 25. During the loading and unloading of coal, coal dust will be generated at the loading and unloading position of the coal pile 23. The camera 1 on the robot will accurately identify the specific location where the coal dust is generated and transmit the location information to the control cabinet 3. The controller generates a dust reduction strategy and controls the fog cannon 15 to perform fixed-point dust reduction measures by controlling the pan / tilt 14 and the lifting platform 13. When the coal dust position exceeds the dust reduction range, the robot can adjust the working range by controlling the mobile chassis 19 to perform fine dust reduction on the port coal dust.

[0059] In this embodiment, the robot controls the pan / tilt 14 and the lifting platform 13 to preliminarily adjust the spray angle of the fog cannon 15 according to the relevant data of the ambient wind, and then analyzes and processes the image information of the on-site working environment obtained by the camera 1, identifies the specific location where the dust is generated, compensates and adjusts the spray angle of the fog cannon 15, drives the fog cannon 15 to spray and remove dust, and through deep learning algorithms and image processing technology, self-perceives the environmental coal dust, intelligently dispatches the dust reduction device, and implements fixed-point dust reduction for the port coal dust, thereby achieving the adjustment of the environmental coal dust concentration. In order to avoid the influence of environmental wind, spray water pressure and flow on the dust reduction effect, the port adaptive intelligent dust reduction robot can adapt to the environment, autonomously adjust the dust reduction direction and spray water pressure, and dynamically compensate for the influence of environmental factors. At the same time, in order to reduce the consumption of human resources, the robot adopts remote control to realize intelligent scheduling, water pipe collection and other automated functions.

[0060] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
