Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship monitoring and early warning, and particularly relates to a channel ship monitoring and early warning system. Background Art

[0002] Compared with land transportation and air transportation, water transportation has the advantages of low cost and large transportation capacity. From the perspective of long-term comprehensive cost, using water transportation for cargo transportation can significantly reduce transportation costs. Therefore, on inland rivers and oceans with sufficient transportation capacity, water transportation generally develops vigorously.

[0003] During the water transportation process, ships will sail in the channel. When sailing in inland rivers or ocean channels, since the ships are far from land and populated areas, the ships are in a relatively isolated state. Once a danger occurs, it is difficult to be discovered in time and effective rescue can be obtained. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of ships during navigation, a ship navigation safety monitoring and early warning system has emerged. It can monitor the position and status of ships in real time. When there are risk factors in front of the ship during navigation, it can issue a warning signal to remind the ship to avoid and take countermeasures in advance, ensuring the safety of the ship and crew during navigation.

[0004] The existing ship monitoring and early warning systems generally collect and analyze data such as the position, speed, and heading of ships through the Global Positioning System and the Automatic Identification System AIS, and can monitor the navigation status of ships and issue warning signals based on this. However, this monitoring method can only roughly monitor the navigation status of ships and cannot accurately and detailedly obtain the specific status of ships. Therefore, many abnormal conditions cannot be discovered in time, resulting in the safety of ships during navigation not being effectively guaranteed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a channel ship monitoring and early warning system, which solves the problem that the existing channel ship monitoring and early warning system can only roughly monitor the navigation status of ships and cannot accurately and detailedly obtain the specific status of ships. Therefore, many abnormal conditions cannot be discovered in time, resulting in the safety of ships during navigation not being effectively guaranteed.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A channel ship monitoring and early warning system includes a front-end monitoring device, and also includes a back-end monitoring and management system, a ship self-status monitoring module, a communication module, and a data processing and analysis module;

[0008] The front-end monitoring device is used for image acquisition of the front and surrounding environment of the ship during navigation and for monitoring the waterway environment. The front-end monitoring device is connected to the data processing and analysis module and the back-end monitoring and management system;

[0009] The ship's own status monitoring module is used for monitoring the operating status of the ship itself. The ship's own status monitoring module is connected to the data processing and analysis module;

[0010] The back-end monitoring and management system is used for real-time calibration of the ship's position, recording and analysis of the ship's track, and alarm and linkage processing in case of abnormal situations. At the same time, it can manage the front-end monitoring device and the ship's own status monitoring module. The back-end monitoring and management system is connected to the communication module;

[0011] The data processing and analysis module is responsible for analyzing and processing the monitoring data obtained from the front-end monitoring device, the back-end monitoring and management system, and the ship's own status monitoring module.

[0012] Preferably, the front-end monitoring device includes high-definition cameras installed at multiple positions on the ship to monitor the surrounding environment of the ship. The advantage of this setting is that the surrounding environment of the ship can be monitored in real time through multiple high-definition cameras, so that obstacles around the ship and other factors that may pose safety hazards to the ship's navigation can be detected in time, enabling the driver to avoid adverse factors in time or take countermeasures to ensure the safety of navigation.

[0013] Preferably, the front-end monitoring device further includes a laser night vision device and an infrared thermal imager installed on the ship. The advantage of this setting is that the infrared thermal imager and the laser night vision device can work under various harsh climate conditions, ensuring all-weather video monitoring, maximizing the monitoring and discovery of adverse factors around the ship, and effectively improving the safety of the ship during navigation in the waterway.

[0014] Preferably, the front-end monitoring device further includes an automatic tracking module installed on the ship. The advantage of this setting is that the ship can automatically maintain a preset track during sea navigation, reducing the risk of deviation and collision, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of navigation.

[0015] Preferably, the backend monitoring and management system includes a central management server and a video recording storage server. The central management server is connected to the front-end monitoring devices and the ship's own status monitoring module, and the video recording storage server is connected to the high-definition cameras. The advantage of this setting is that the central management server can configure and manage the front-end monitoring devices and the ship's own status monitoring module, enabling the front-end monitoring devices and the ship's own status monitoring module to operate efficiently and safely, ensuring that the monitoring and warning system can work properly, improving the reliability of the system. At the same time, the video recording storage server can store and manage the image and video information captured by the front-end monitoring devices for quick and accurate retrieval when needed later.

[0016] Preferably, the backend monitoring and management system further includes a GIS management server. The advantage of this setting is that it enables the ship's drivers to query and store the required map data, remote sensing images, geographical coordinates, attribute data, etc., facilitating the drivers to obtain the geographical data required for the course in a timely and accurate manner, so that a more efficient and safe navigation route can be planned.

[0017] Preferably, the backend monitoring and management system further includes an alarm linkage server and a streaming media forwarding server. The advantage of this setting is that through the streaming media forwarding server, the video of the ship's surrounding environment captured by the high-definition cameras on the ship can be sent or received, enabling more accurate acquisition of various situations required during the navigation of other ships in the waterway, facilitating the ship's drivers about to enter the same waterway to accurately and intuitively obtain the waterway conditions, thus providing a basis for route planning and further improving the safety and efficiency of navigation. The alarm linkage server can receive early warning information and linkage instructions for handling emergencies to effectively respond to emergencies occurring during navigation in a timely manner.

[0018] Preferably, the ship's own status monitoring module includes a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and a diesel engine sensor. The advantage of this setting is that it can monitor the operating status of the ship's diesel engine in real time, as well as the temperature and pressure of each compartment and equipment on the ship, so as to timely detect the abnormal operation of various equipment on the ship and handle it in a timely manner to reduce losses.

[0019] Preferably, the diesel engine sensor includes an oil pressure sensor, an oil temperature sensor, a rotational speed sensor, an intake air pressure sensor, and an exhaust gas temperature sensor. The advantage of this setting is that it can monitor parameters such as the oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, intake air pressure, and exhaust gas temperature of the diesel engine in real time, preventing the diesel engine and the oil pump from overheating or operating overloaded.

[0020] Preferably, the communication module includes a satellite communication device, a radio communication device, and an AIS device. The advantage of this arrangement is to ensure smooth information exchange in navigation, collision warning, and emergency response, enabling effective and timely communication within the ship and between the ship and management personnel, thus ensuring the safety of ship navigation.

[0021] In summary, the present invention mainly has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. By providing the front-end monitoring device and the ship's own status detection module, it is possible to simultaneously monitor the ship's surrounding environment, the operating status of the ship's electrical and mechanical equipment, and the status of each compartment of the ship in real time. In this way, it is possible to monitor the internal and external environments during the ship's navigation in a timely and effective manner, enabling the rapid discovery of various factors that may threaten the safety of the ship during navigation in the waterway. This facilitates the driver to promptly discover adverse factors and take countermeasures to reduce losses and hazards, effectively improving the monitoring and warning effect of the system and enhancing the safety of ship navigation.

[0023] 2. By providing the infrared thermal imager and the laser night vision device, the infrared thermal imager and the laser night vision device can operate under various adverse weather conditions, ensuring all-weather video monitoring and maximizing the monitoring and discovery of adverse factors around the ship, effectively enhancing the safety of the ship during navigation in the waterway.
