Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel lighting technology, specifically to an intelligent lighting system suitable for tunnels. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth of the global economy, energy issues have become increasingly prominent, with available energy resources dwindling and non-renewable resources becoming increasingly scarce. Simultaneously, the excessive development of thermal power and coal-fired power technologies in pursuit of energy supply has led to severe environmental pollution and significantly disrupted the ecological balance. Therefore, vigorously developing new energy sources and promoting energy conservation have become crucial.

[0003] As a crucial component of transportation networks, tunnel engineering requires year-round, 24 / 7 lighting to ensure its normal operation due to its enclosed environment, resulting in significant energy consumption. Furthermore, current tunnel lighting systems suffer from low intelligence, rudimentary energy-saving measures, and poor energy efficiency, while also compromising tunnel lighting safety.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent lighting system suitable for tunnels to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent lighting system suitable for tunnels, comprising a second lighting group, a first lighting group installed on the tunnel lining, and an intelligent control system. The second lighting group includes a guide lighting component installed on the tunnel lining above the tunnel lane. The guide lighting component includes a hanger installed on the tunnel lining. A guide rail is installed at the lower end of the hanger. A movable seat is installed on the guide rail. An arm is installed on the movable seat. Guide rails are installed at both ends of the arm. Movable seats are installed on the guide rails. Guide light strips are installed on the movable seats. The second lighting group and the first lighting group are arranged at equal intervals along the tunnel direction. The second lighting group and the first lighting group are located on the same cross section of the tunnel. The intelligent control system is used to intelligently control the second lighting group.

[0006] Furthermore, the intelligent control system includes a support frame, a pressure sensing module, and a vehicle width sensing module. The support frame is set on both sides facing the tunnel lining. A distance sensing module and a speed sensing module are respectively installed on the support frame. The distance sensing module is used to monitor the deviation of the vehicle from the center of the tunnel lane and feeds back to the guide rail one to control the movement of the moving seat one. The speed sensing module is used to monitor the vehicle's speed in the tunnel lane. The pressure sensing module is set on the surface of the foundation and is used to monitor and locate vehicles in the tunnel lane. The vehicle width sensing module is installed at the tunnel entrance and is used to monitor the width of vehicles entering the tunnel lane and feeds back to the guide rail two to control the movement of the moving seat two.

[0007] Furthermore, based on the vehicle width sensing module, the width of the vehicle entering the tunnel lane is obtained and monitored. The guide rails at both ends of the boom are synchronously adjusted to move the two moving seats in opposite directions until the distance between the two sets of guide light strips is equal to the vehicle width.

[0008] Furthermore, the width of the tunnel lane is set as Ld, the vehicle width monitored by the vehicle width sensing module is set as Lc, the initial distance between the distance sensing module and the tunnel lane is set as L0, the distance between the distance sensing module and the vehicle is set as LΔ, and the deviation displacement... If Pl < 0, the guide rail and the movable seat move towards the distance sensing module. | Pl | If Pl = 0, guide rail one adjusts the moving seat one to maintain its original position; if Pl > 0, guide rail two adjusts the moving seat two to move away from the distance sensing module. | Pl | Furthermore, when the pressure sensor module at the tunnel entrance is triggered by the vehicle, the triggered pressure sensor module will provide feedback to turn on the second lighting group at its tunnel section, and will also provide feedback to turn on n consecutive second lighting groups along the rear direction of the vehicle's travel.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure sensing modules arranged along the tunnel lanes have a center-to-center spacing of Dy between adjacent pressure sensing modules, and the speed monitored by the speed sensing module is VΔ. The guide rail in the second lighting group adjusts the interval of the moving seat.

[0010] Furthermore, when the pressure sensing module at the tunnel entrance is triggered by the vehicle, the triggered pressure sensing module will provide feedback to turn on the first lighting group of the tunnel section where it is located, and will provide feedback to turn on n consecutive first lighting groups along the forward direction of the vehicle's travel.

[0011] Furthermore, the delayed shut-off time of the first lighting group = the delayed shut-off time of the second lighting group = the delayed shut-off time of the guide rail-adjustment moving seat-1 in the second lighting group

[0012] Furthermore, the safe distance between vehicles in the tunnel lane is set to n·Dy, and a warning screen is installed on the support frame. When a vehicle enters the area covered by the guide light strip in front of it, the pressure sensing module triggers the warning screen again.

[0013] Furthermore, the boom and the first movable seat are connected by a first rotating device, and the guide light strip and the second movable seat are connected by a second rotating device.

[0014] Furthermore, the first lighting group includes a light group one, a light group two, and a light group three. The light group one and the light group two are respectively installed on both sides of the tunnel lining, and the light group three is installed on the top of the tunnel lining.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent lighting system suitable for tunnels, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In this invention, when a vehicle enters a tunnel, the vehicle width is first obtained through a vehicle width sensing module, and then data is collected through distance, speed, and pressure sensing modules. The first lighting group at the front of the vehicle and the second lighting group at the rear are then activated. This ensures that as the tunnel lane forms, the front of the vehicle has a dynamic lighting trajectory to illuminate the driving lane, and the rear of the vehicle has a dynamic lighting warning trajectory to warn vehicles behind. Simultaneously, a warning screen provides timely alerts to vehicles exhibiting abnormal driving behavior in the tunnel lane, thereby achieving intelligent lighting control in the tunnel and ensuring the driving safety of vehicles within the tunnel lane.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 This invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent lighting system suitable for tunnels, comprising a second lighting group 3, a first lighting group 2 installed on the tunnel lining 4, and an intelligent control system. The second lighting group 3 includes a guide lighting component 31 installed on the tunnel lining 4 above the tunnel lane. The guide lighting component 31 includes a hanger 38 installed on the tunnel lining 4. A guide rail 39 is installed at the lower end of the hanger 38. A movable seat 310 is installed on the guide rail 39. A boom 312 is installed on the movable seat 310. Guide rails 313 are installed at both ends of the boom 312. A movable seat 314 is installed on the guide rail 313. Guide light strips 316 are installed on the movable seat 314. The second lighting group 3 and the first lighting group 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the tunnel direction. The lighting group 3 and the first lighting group 2 are located on the same cross section of the tunnel. The intelligent control system is used to intelligently control the second lighting group 3. That is, when a vehicle enters the tunnel lane, the first lighting group and the second lighting group are triggered. The first lighting group serves as the main lighting mechanism for the tunnel lane, illuminating the tunnel lane in front of the vehicle as it travels. The second lighting group serves as the auxiliary lighting mechanism for the tunnel lane and simulates the lighting warning trajectory of vehicles behind the vehicle while it is traveling in the tunnel lane. This ensures that when a vehicle is traveling in the tunnel lane, a lighting warning trajectory is formed behind the vehicle, especially when the tunnel lane is curved. This allows following vehicles to promptly grasp the distance between vehicles in the tunnel lane, improving driving safety in the tunnel lane.

[0023] In this embodiment, the intelligent control system includes a support frame 32, a pressure sensing module 36, and a vehicle width sensing module 37. The support frame 32 is disposed on both sides facing the tunnel lining 4. A distance sensing module 34 and a speed sensing module 35 are respectively installed on the support frame 32. The distance sensing module 34 is used to monitor the deviation of the vehicle from the center of the tunnel lane and feeds back to the guide rail 39 to control the movement of the movable seat 310. The speed sensing module 35 is used to monitor the vehicle's speed on the tunnel lane. The pressure sensing module 36 is disposed on the surface of the foundation 1 and is used for... The system monitors and locates vehicles in the tunnel lanes. The vehicle width sensing module 37 is installed at the tunnel entrance. The vehicle width sensing module 37 monitors the width of vehicles entering the tunnel lanes and feeds back the data to the guide rail 313 to control the movement of the movable seat 314. Through real-time monitoring of deviation displacement, the system can keep track of the vehicle's position in the tunnel lanes and simultaneously adjust and update the lighting warning trajectory formed behind the vehicle. Through real-time monitoring of driving speed, the system can keep track of the vehicle's speed in the tunnel lanes and simultaneously adjust the lighting time of the first and second lighting groups to save energy.

[0024] In this embodiment, the width of the vehicle entering the tunnel lane is obtained by the vehicle width sensing module 37. The guide rails 313 at both ends of the boom 312 synchronously adjust the moving seat 315 to move towards or away from the vehicle until the distance between the two sets of guide light strips 316 is equal to the vehicle width. In other words, the distance between the guide light strips on the tunnel lane and the lighting warning trajectory simulated by the guide light strips make it easier for vehicles behind to understand the situation of vehicles traveling in front of them in the tunnel lane.

[0025] In this embodiment, the width of the tunnel lane is set as Ld, the vehicle width monitored by the vehicle width sensing module 37 is set as Lc, the initial distance between the distance sensing module 34 and the tunnel lane is set as L0, and the distance between the distance sensing module 34 and the vehicle is set as LΔ. The deviation displacement... If Pl < 0, the guide rail adjusts the moving seat to move towards the distance sensing module 34. | Pl | If Pl = 0, guide rail one adjusts the moving seat one to maintain its original position; if Pl > 0, guide rail two adjusts the moving seat two to move away from the distance sensing module 34. | Pl |Furthermore, when the pressure sensing module 36 at the tunnel entrance is triggered by a vehicle, the triggered pressure sensing module 36 will provide feedback to turn on the second lighting group 3 of the tunnel section where it is located, and along the rear direction of the vehicle's travel, it will provide feedback to turn on n consecutive second lighting groups 3. In other words, behind the vehicle traveling in the tunnel lane, there are n consecutively turned-on second lighting groups to simulate the vehicle's lighting warning trajectory. Therefore, when a vehicle in the tunnel lane detects a lighting warning trajectory, it indicates that there is a vehicle traveling in front of it. When a vehicle in the tunnel lane does not detect a lighting warning trajectory, it indicates that there is no vehicle traveling in front of it.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pressure sensing modules 36 are arranged on the tunnel lane, with the center-to-center distance between adjacent pressure sensing modules 36 set as Dy, the driving speed monitored by the speed sensing module 35 set as VΔ, and the interval time of the moving seat 310 adjusted by the guide rail 39 in the second lighting group 3. In other words, the interval time of the moving seat is adjusted by the synchronous feedback guide rail based on the real-time speed of the vehicle, thereby saving energy while ensuring the accuracy of the vehicle's lighting warning trajectory.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the pressure sensing module 36 at the tunnel entrance is triggered by a vehicle, the triggered pressure sensing module 36 feeds back to turn on the first lighting group 2 of the tunnel section where it is located, and feeds back to turn on the first lighting group 2 in n consecutive numbers along the forward direction of the vehicle.

[0028] In this embodiment, the delayed closing time of the first lighting group 2 = the delayed closing time of the second lighting group 3 = the delayed closing time of the guide rail-39 adjusting moving seat-310 in the second lighting group 3. Thus, a dynamic lighting trajectory is formed in front of the vehicle by the first lighting group, and a dynamic lighting warning trajectory is formed behind the vehicle by the second lighting group.

[0029] In this embodiment, the safe distance between vehicles in the tunnel lane is set to n·Dy. The support frame 32 is equipped with a warning screen 33. When a vehicle enters the coverage area of ​​the guide light strip 316 in front of it, the pressure sensing module 36 is triggered to trigger the warning screen 33 again to remind the driver to drive safely.

[0030] In this embodiment, when a certain group of pressure sensing modules is triggered for a long time, if there is a foreign object on the surface of the tunnel lane, the warning screen will be triggered to issue a warning.

[0031] In this embodiment, the boom 312 is connected to the movable seat 310 via a rotator 311, and the guide light strip 316 is connected to the movable seat 314 via a rotator 315, so as to adjust the direction of the guide light strip, making the lighting warning trajectory smoother and improving the aesthetics.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first lighting group 2 includes a first lighting group 21, a second lighting group 22, and a third lighting group 23. The first lighting group 21 and the second lighting group 22 are respectively installed on both sides of the tunnel lining 4, and the third lighting group 23 is installed on the top of the tunnel lining 4.

[0033] In practical implementation, when a vehicle enters the tunnel, the vehicle width is first obtained through the vehicle width sensing module, and then data is collected through the distance sensing module, speed sensing module, and pressure sensing module. The first lighting group at the front of the vehicle and the second lighting group at the rear of the vehicle are then activated. As the tunnel lane is formed, there is a dynamic lighting trajectory in front of the vehicle to illuminate the driving lane, and a dynamic lighting warning trajectory behind the vehicle to warn vehicles behind. At the same time, the warning screen provides timely warnings and alerts to vehicles with abnormal driving in the tunnel lane, thereby realizing intelligent lighting control in the tunnel and ensuring the driving safety of vehicles in the tunnel lane.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
