Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vaccine box transportation, and in particular to a method for quickly locating and clearing obstacles when a vaccine box is stuck on a transportation path. Background Art

[0002] In the current vaccine production, storage and distribution process, the delivery of vaccine boxes is a crucial link. However, traditional vaccine delivery systems often have problems with insufficient stability and potential safety hazards. For example, vaccine boxes are prone to falling due to position displacement or shaking during delivery, which not only causes damage and waste of vaccines, but may also damage the delivery equipment and even cause safety accidents.

[0003] Traditional vaccine box status monitoring methods mainly rely on manual inspections and simple sensor detection. These methods have problems such as limited monitoring range, slow response speed, and low recognition accuracy. With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies, real-time monitoring and accurate identification of vaccine box status have become possible. However, there is currently a lack of a technical solution on the market that can comprehensively use these advanced technologies to achieve comprehensive coverage, real-time monitoring, and accurate identification of vaccine box status. This limits the intelligence and automation level of the vaccine delivery system, and affects the efficiency and safety of vaccine distribution.

[0004] Existing vaccine delivery systems often have problems with slow response speed and low processing efficiency when facing abnormal situations. For example, when an abnormal situation such as a vaccine box getting stuck during delivery, the system often takes a long time to detect and handle it, which will lead to interruptions and delays in the vaccine delivery process. In addition, the existing system has a low level of intelligence and lacks automatic adjustment and optimization capabilities, making it difficult to adapt to changes in demand in different scenarios. Therefore, we provide a method for quickly locating and clearing obstacles when a vaccine box gets stuck on the delivery path. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a method for quickly locating and clearing obstacles when a vaccine box is stuck on the conveying path, so as to more accurately solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The invention proposes a method for quickly locating and clearing obstacles when a vaccine box is stuck on a conveying path, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] First, a set of precise guide mechanisms was designed and installed. The guide mechanism uses adaptive adjustment technology to automatically adjust its guide path according to the size and shape of the vaccine box, ensuring that the vaccine box moves stably along the center of the conveyor belt and effectively preventing it from falling due to position deviation or shaking.

[0009] At the same time, a pressure sensor is integrated inside the guide mechanism to monitor the load condition of the vaccine box in real time and avoid mechanical failure caused by overload.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes designing and installing support plates on both sides of the conveyor belt, wherein the support plates are made of high-strength lightweight materials and are covered with an anti-slip coating on the surface, which can provide the necessary support force without hindering the normal transmission of the vaccine box, thereby further reducing the risk of the vaccine box falling;

[0011] In addition, a micro switch is installed between the support plate and the conveyor belt. When the vaccine box contacts the support plate, the micro switch is triggered and sends a signal to the background system to monitor the conveying status of the vaccine box.

[0012] Furthermore, an infrared fiber optic sensor is used to capture the status information of the vaccine boxes on the conveyor belt in real time, including the existence, position, speed, etc. of the vaccine boxes, so as to realize dynamic monitoring of the vaccine boxes; the infrared fiber optic sensor has a built-in temperature compensation module that can automatically calibrate the measurement errors caused by changes in ambient temperature.

[0013] Furthermore, infrared fiber optic sensors are arranged at key positions of the vaccine delivery path, including but not limited to behind the vaccine storage and sorting machine, key turning points of the conveyor belt, buffer areas, and locations where jams may occur, to ensure comprehensive coverage of the status of vaccine boxes; in addition, wireless communication technology is used between the infrared fiber optic sensors and the background system to achieve real-time transmission and processing of data.

[0015] Furthermore, by combining the high-definition camera and the motion information of the conveyor belt, the image is processed in real time through a deep learning algorithm to generate and update the material contour image, thereby achieving accurate identification and positioning of the vaccine box; the camera has a built-in infrared fill light, which can maintain clear image quality in low-light environments.

[0016] Furthermore, the camera is installed above or on the side of the conveyor belt, and its viewing angle and focal length can be adjusted manually or automatically according to the size and shape of the vaccine box to ensure accurate capture and identification of the vaccine box; in addition, a high-speed data transmission protocol is used between the camera and the background system to ensure the real-time and integrity of the image data.

[0017] Furthermore, the backend system adopts advanced intelligent algorithms to calculate and predict the transmission position of the vaccine box in real time based on the image information captured by the camera, the data from the infrared fiber optic sensor and the radiation sensor; once a cassette becomes stuck, the alarm mechanism is immediately triggered, including displaying the vaccine cassette location information on the AVM screen on the vaccination table, sending sound or light signal reminders to the staff, and sending instructions to the automation control module.

[0018] Furthermore, the alarm mechanism also includes sending alarm information to the remote monitoring center so that when the staff cannot respond in time, the remote monitoring center can coordinate and handle it; in addition, the AVM screen uses touch screen technology, and the staff can operate and provide feedback directly on the screen.

[0019] Furthermore, the entire rapid positioning and obstacle clearance method also includes an automated control module, which automatically adjusts the speed and direction of the conveyor belt or starts the obstacle clearance device according to the instructions of the background system, so as to quickly and effectively solve the problem of vaccine box jamming; the automated control module has a built-in safety lock mechanism, which can immediately stop all moving parts in an emergency to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0020] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0021] The present invention designs and installs a precise guide mechanism and support plate system, and adopts adaptive adjustment technology and anti-slip coating and other measures. This method can ensure that the vaccine box always remains in the center of the conveyor belt during transportation, and effectively prevents it from falling due to position offset or shaking. At the same time, through real-time monitoring of the load condition and transportation status of the vaccine box, and the use of high-sensitivity radiation sensors and infrared fiber optic sensors and other technical means, this method can promptly detect and handle abnormal situations, thereby improving the stability and safety of vaccine delivery.

[0022] The present invention uses a high-definition camera combined with a deep learning algorithm to capture and process the image information of the vaccine box in real time, generate and update the material contour image, and realize the accurate identification and positioning of the vaccine box; at the same time, through the coordinated use of infrared fiber optic sensors and counter-radiation sensors, the method can capture the status information of the vaccine box in real time, including existence, position, speed, etc., to achieve comprehensive coverage and real-time monitoring of the vaccine box status; these measures provide strong support for subsequent exception processing and data analysis.
