Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of material transportation technology, and specifically is a laser radar-based transportation material weighing system and weighing method. Background Art

[0002] Material transportation refers to the process of moving raw materials, parts, finished products and other physical materials from one geographical location to another by means of specific transportation tools. Common modes of material transportation include road transportation, rail transportation, water transportation and air transportation. In the process of material transportation, the accuracy and stability of the weighing system are crucial to ensure transportation safety and efficiency. Traditional weighing methods often rely on static weighing or manual visual inspection, which are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also have certain errors. With the development of technology, lidar, as a high-precision and high-efficiency sensing device, has gradually been applied to the field of material transportation.

[0003] The prior art (invention patent application with publication number CN116086577A) discloses an excavator weighing system based on laser radar and camera device, including hardware part and software part. The hardware part includes an industrial computer, a bucket width recognition device, a bucket side profile recognition device and a material surface recognition device. The software part includes a recognition and segmentation module and an analysis and calculation module. The recognition and segmentation module includes a feature position judgment module and a segmentation extraction module. The analysis and calculation module includes a bucket width analysis module, a bucket side profile analysis module and a material surface analysis module.

[0004] The above scheme calculates the volume of the material in the bucket by scanning the width and side profile data of the bucket through the laser radar, and calculates the volume of the material exceeding the bucket according to the material surface recognition device. The two are added together to obtain the total volume of the material, and then the weight of the material in the bucket is calculated according to the material density. The volume of the material in the bucket is calculated by using the width and side profile data of the bucket, but the material volume of the bucket itself is not considered, so that the calculated material volume includes the material volume of the material, resulting in the net volume of the material being inaccurate, which in turn leads to low accuracy in calculating the material weight.

[0080] The comprehensive density of each material size range in several material types is composed into a comprehensive density table.

[0081] After generating material point cloud data based on parameter data and transportation point cloud data, calculate the material volume, including:

[0082] Obtain parameter data and transportation point cloud data;

[0083] Generate material point cloud data based on parameter data and transportation point cloud data;

[0084] Construct a triangular mesh model based on the material point cloud data, and divide the triangular mesh model into multiple tetrahedrons through a triangulation algorithm; the triangulation algorithm includes the Delaunay algorithm, etc.

[0085] The material volume is calculated using the formula WV=∑(Uj×Vj×Wj) / 6; wherein U, V and W represent the lengths of the three edges of a tetrahedron; j represents the number of the tetrahedron, j=1, 2,…, N; N represents the total number of tetrahedrons; ∑ is the sum of j; when the number of tetrahedrons is determined, as the lengths of the three edges of each tetrahedron increase, the material volume will also increase accordingly.

[0086] Generating material point cloud data according to parameter data and transportation point cloud data includes the following steps:

[0087] Step 1: Obtain the size data and shape data in the parameter data to establish a corresponding geometric model in three-dimensional space;

[0088] Step 2: Align and register the acquired transport point cloud data with the geometric model of the transport vehicle through the ICP algorithm;

[0089] Step 3: Use the 3D point cloud processing algorithm to cut the transportation point cloud data according to the boundary of the geometric model;

[0090] Step 4: Extract the material accumulation point cloud data after cutting as material point cloud data. The material point cloud data is point cloud data with the center position of the bottom of the transport truck bucket as the origin of the three-dimensional coordinates.

[0091] Generate material weight based on material volume and combined density, including:

[0092] Get the material volume WV and comprehensive density ZM corresponding to the transport vehicle ID;

[0093] The material weight WZ corresponding to the transport vehicle ID is calculated using the formula WZ=WV×ZM; the material weight will increase with the increase of the material volume and the material comprehensive density.

[0094] Generate material shedding coefficient based on material point cloud data, including:

[0095] Get the three-dimensional coordinates of the highest point in the material point cloud data, including X, Y and Z, where Z represents the height, X represents the position of the three-dimensional coordinate in the forward direction of the transport vehicle, and Y represents the position of the three-dimensional coordinate in the width direction of the transport vehicle;

[0100] When YJZ is less than the width threshold ω2, YJZ = ω2 / 2; the length threshold ω1 and the width threshold ω2 are set according to experience;

[0101] The material shedding coefficient WTX is calculated by the formula;

[0102] WTX=1-exp(-(CJZ^β / DG+XJZ / ((CCD / 2)-XJZ)+YJZ / ((CKD / 2)-YJZ))); wherein β is an exponential coefficient, β>1, and a specific value is set based on experience; DG is a unit height, and a specific value is set based on experience. In this embodiment, DG is set to 5 cm; when Z is higher than the height threshold, the material will fall off during transportation, and the closer the highest point is to the origin of the coordinate system, the smaller the possibility of falling off. On the contrary, when the highest point is closest to the edge of the transport vehicle, the possibility of falling off will increase. Therefore, as CJZ, XJZ and YJZ increase, the material falling coefficient WTX will increase accordingly.

[0103] No, the material shedding coefficient WTX=0.

[0104] This embodiment compares the three-dimensional coordinates of the highest point in the material point cloud data with the center position of the bottom of the transport vehicle's cargo box, and calculates the material shedding coefficient during transportation through the position of the highest point.
