[0048] During the aggregate transportation process, each loader is required to load the aggregates in the corresponding storage bin and unload the aggregates to the corresponding aggregate bin loading port. However, during the storage and transportation of aggregates, the humidity, temperature, dust, dirt, etc. of the environment will affect the quality of the aggregates, thereby affecting the subsequent batching of commercial concrete and further affecting the quality of commercial concrete.

[0049] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a dedicated monitoring method for a commercial concrete warehouse based on the Internet of Things to monitor the quality of aggregates to prevent the quality of aggregates from affecting the quality of subsequent commercial concrete.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the dedicated monitoring method for commercial concrete warehouse based on the Internet of Things provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0051] S101, collecting multiple material images and corresponding humidity information at different positions in the current warehouse, as well as storage environment information of the materials in the current warehouse before transportation and route environment information during transportation.

[0052] S102, extracting the first typical feature of each material image and extracting the second typical feature of the storage environment information of the material in the current warehouse before transportation and the route environment information during transportation.

[0053] S103, matching the second typical feature with the first typical feature and the humidity information, and establishing an influence model of the second typical feature on the first typical feature and the humidity information.

[0054] S104, using the influence model to monitor whether the first typical characteristics and humidity information of the materials in the special warehouse are within the corresponding thresholds, and if not, an alarm is issued.

[0055] The dedicated monitoring method for commercial concrete silos based on the Internet of Things provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can monitor the quality of materials in the silo, find out the cause of the abnormality and issue an alarm when an abnormality is detected, thereby facilitating staff to promptly discover quality problems, find out the cause and make timely adjustments to avoid affecting the quality of the commercial concrete.

[0056] In this embodiment, humidity information is actually one of the first typical features. Since humidity information is difficult to be extracted from an image, it can be measured using a sensor.

[0057] Optionally, multiple material images and corresponding humidity information at different positions in the current warehouse, as well as storage environment information of the materials in the current warehouse before transportation and route environment information during transportation are collected, including: setting cameras and humidity sensors at different longitudinal height positions and the feed port in the current warehouse and recording the feed images and corresponding humidity at different longitudinal height positions and the feed port in real time; judging whether the materials currently being fed are from the same batch based on the feed images and corresponding humidity; if they are from the same batch, recording the storage environment information of the current batch of materials before transportation and route environment information during transportation; if they are from different batches, distinguishing each batch based on the time interval, and recording the storage environment information of each batch of materials before transportation and route environment information during transportation.

[0058] Optionally, the Internet of Things-based dedicated monitoring method for commercial concrete warehouses also includes: in the case of different batches, recording material images at different longitudinal height positions before and after each batch enters the warehouse.

[0059] The quality of aggregates may vary from batch to batch, and the factors that affect the quality of aggregates during transportation may be different. Therefore, distinguishing batches of aggregates can help to intuitively and conveniently find the corresponding reasons when there are quality problems with aggregates, so that the staff can make adjustments.

[0060] Optionally, extracting the first typical feature of each material image includes: extracting multiple first features of each material image using a convolutional neural network; calculating the ratio of each first feature to the overall area of ​​the corresponding material image; and generating a first typical feature by counting the ratios of the first features of all material images, wherein the first typical feature includes the total amount of multiple first features and the corresponding first features; wherein, if the materials are from different batches, the total amount of the first features of the current batch is the difference between the results corresponding to the material images at different longitudinal height positions before and after the current batch is put into storage.

[0061] The area ratio calculation algorithm can intuitively reflect the proportion of each first sign and estimate the total amount of each first feature. By clarifying the changes in the types and total amount of the first features in multiple sets of data, the relationship between the first feature and the corresponding second typical feature can be quickly obtained during the subsequent training of the influence model, which is convenient for the subsequent training of the influence model.

[0062] Optionally, matching the second typical feature with the first typical feature and humidity information includes: matching the second typical feature with multiple preset feature information, wherein the preset multiple feature information includes an image of the current feature and the impact that the corresponding image may have on the first typical feature; collecting the second typical feature after successful matching and using the corresponding feature information as information of the second typical feature; matching the second typical feature with the first typical feature and humidity information according to the information of the second typical feature, that is, the first typical feature or humidity information can correspond to one or more second typical features.

[0063] For example, if the aggregate is coarse aggregate, it is detected in the image that the coarse aggregate contains mud and sand, and stones that do not meet the size. Then when extracting the first typical feature, the mud and sand and stones that do not meet the size are recorded as the first feature, and the corresponding content is recorded. Correspondingly, in the storage environment information before transportation and the route environment information during transportation, the second typical feature may be that the initial storage location itself contains mud or stones, the transportation vehicle contains mud or stones, and the mud in the air caused by environmental reasons such as wind or construction. Then the second typical feature here is that the initial storage location itself contains mud or stones and the corresponding amount that may be caused, the transportation vehicle and the corresponding amount that may be caused, and the relevant meteorological information and construction site information / equipment and the corresponding amount that may be caused. Then match the second typical feature with the first typical feature. The first typical feature can correspond to multiple second typical features, that is, there may be multiple scenarios where the second typical features exist during storage and transportation.

[0064] By clarifying the characteristic information of the second typical feature and the relationship between the humidity information and the first typical feature, the changing pattern of the second typical feature and its relationship with the first typical feature can be quickly obtained during the subsequent training of the influence model, which facilitates the subsequent training of the influence model.

[0065] Optionally, a model of the influence of the second typical feature on the first typical feature and humidity information is established, including: collecting multiple groups of first typical features, humidity information and corresponding second typical features and dividing them into training sets, test sets and validation sets; using the training set to train the influence model; wherein the influence model includes the influence of the second typical feature on whether the first feature in the first typical feature is generated or not under different circumstances, as well as the influence on the total amount of the first feature and the influence on humidity; using the test set to test and adjust the influence model; using the validation set to verify the influence model, and storing the influence model after the verification is completed.

[0066] Optionally, the influence model is used to monitor the current status of materials in the special warehouse, including: real-time determination of whether the first typical feature of the materials in the current warehouse is within the threshold; when it is not within the threshold, collecting the second typical feature of the storage environment information of the materials in the current warehouse before transportation and the route environment information during transportation; using the influence model to infer the second typical feature of the problem and issue an alarm.

[0067] It can monitor the quality of materials in the silo, find out the cause of the abnormality and alarm when it is detected, so that the staff can find quality problems in time, find out the cause and make timely adjustments to avoid affecting the quality of commercial concrete.

[0068] Optionally, the influence model of the current warehouse also provides the influence model of the next warehouse with storage environment information before the material is transported to the next warehouse.
