[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, a real-time monitoring and early warning system for verticality based on multi-sensor fusion is provided. A multi-sensor array module is used to monitor the spatial dynamic changes of the product to be measured in real time; a mature Kalman filtering algorithm is used to fuse and process the collected data; a grading early warning value for the product to be measured is preset in the dynamic early warning module to compare the fused data; a LoRa wireless communication unit is used to send the fused data and early warning information to the supervision platform to simulate and display the real-time posture, send early warning information, and store data, so as to realize real-time monitoring, early warning, and event recording of the product to be measured ( Figure 1 ). Extended application: According to the layout range, project-level, company-level, city-level, and even industry-level real-time monitoring and early warning systems can be built. Specifically, such asFigure 1 As shown in Figure 1 , it includes: a multi-sensor array module, a data fusion processing module, a wireless communication unit, and a supervision platform;

[0038] The multi-sensor array module is used to monitor the spatial dynamic changes of the measured product in real time;

[0039] The data fusion processing module is used to fuse the monitored data by using the Kalman filtering algorithm to obtain the perpendicularity offset, and compare the perpendicularity offset with the preset classification warning value of the measured product to obtain a warning message;

[0040] The wireless communication unit is used to send the perpendicularity offset and the warning message to the supervision platform;

[0041] The supervision platform is used to simulate and display the real-time posture, send warning messages, and store the perpendicularity offset.

[0042] In the first embodiment of the present invention, a tower crane is taken as an example to illustrate the monitoring and warning system of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] (1) Hardware configuration:

[0044] Sensor group deployment: Install respectively on the 4th, 8th, and 12th floors (interval ≥ 6m) of the tower crane standard section:

[0045] 1. MEMS accelerometer. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is installed on the Z-axis aligned with the center line of the tower crane;

[0046] 2. Fiber optic gyroscope. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sampling frequency is 50Hz;

[0047] 3. Beidou / GPS dual-mode positioning module. In the embodiment of the present invention, the positioning error ≤ 3cm;

[0048] Power supply system: Each monitoring node is configured with:

[0049] 1. 10W monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panel;

[0050] 2. Battery pack + super capacitor;

[0051] 3. The low-power mode endurance ≥ 30 days;

[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, the photovoltaic panel generates electricity, charges the battery through capacitor boost, and the battery then supplies power to the sensor group through a voltage regulation module.

[0053] (2) Software logic:

[0054] 1. Synchronously collect the accelerometer and gyroscope data. In the embodiment of the present invention, a 50Hz sampling can be adopted;

[0055] 2. The Beidou positioning data compensates for the foundation settlement error, thereby obtaining the vertical height after the tower crane is installed;

[0056] 3. Perform improved Kalman filtering:

[0057] θ_fused = 0.7 * θ_accel + 0.3 * θ_gyro

[0058] where θ_accel is the displacement angle measured by the accelerometer in real time, θ_gyro is the displacement angle measured by the gyroscope in real time, and θ_fused is the displacement angle of the displacement amount determined after calculation.

[0059] 4. Calculate the verticality offset:

[0060] Δh = H × sinθ_fused

[0061] where H is the vertical height after the tower crane is installed.

[0062] 5. Dynamic threshold judgment:

[0063] If Δh / H > 0.2%, then trigger the LED warning;

[0064] If Δh / H > 0.4%, then start the emergency warning;

[0065] If Δh / H > 5%, then start the accident record;

[0066] 6. After data encryption, it is sent to the supervision platform through LoRa.

[0067] In the second embodiment of the present invention, a bridge pier attitude monitoring and warning system is taken as an example for illustration.

[0068] Among them, pier columns, chimneys, granaries, etc. can be regarded as an elliptical cylinder, which is constructed by pouring in layers during construction. The data of four corners (i.e., multiple control points) are collected to simulate the changes in the construction process in real time, so as to timely detect whether the whole is offset or the eccentric state of a certain section.

[0069] Differentiated design, sensor layout:

[0070] Sensors are arranged at the four corners (i.e., control points) on the upper and lower sides of the pier column monitoring section. The arranged points depend on the control points of the specific construction plan (measurement marks used to measure the spatial deviation of cylinders or cuboids), forming a spatial attitude solution matrix;

[0071] Among them, the acquisition method of the spatial attitude solution matrix includes:

[0072] The control points are equivalent to the 8 vertices of a cuboid (or more can be set for higher precision). Taking the four points on the bottom surface (ground) as the benchmarks, there are measured offset data for the change of each control point on the upper construction layer. The 8 three-dimensional data points can directly form the actual spatial posture of the cuboid in the BIM model or other three-dimensional display models.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present invention, a laser ranging module (range 200m, accuracy ±1mm) is added. This is a method used in the traditional method for measuring deformation. The rangefinder is fixed at a point (depending on local conditions, which will be specified in the construction plan). After the measured object rises a certain height, a measurement is taken. Given that the increased height is known and the straight-line distance between the measurement point and the measured point is known, the data of the laser ranging module is compared with the drawing data to determine the construction deviation.

[0074] A magnetic adsorption type mounting base is used to fix the sensor, which also serves as the measurement point of the laser ranging module. Among them, the magnetic adsorption type mounting base can be specifically selected according to the calculated adsorption force of the external design.

[0075] A historical database of pier column inclination is established to automatically generate construction control data and safety assessment reports.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present invention, there is data after each layer of construction of the pier column, etc. Taking a 2m height per layer as an example, for a 20m high pier column, it needs to be poured 10 times. When pouring for the 3rd time, there are data from the previous 2 times. If the formwork is not made properly, there will be continuous deviation on one side, and the problem on this side can be discovered, and it can be found and corrected in time, so as not to cause more subsequent deviations and lead to quality or safety problems.

[0077] Further, the system working process includes: power on → system self-check → data acquisition → coordinate normalization processing → offset calculation → early warning decision-making → data sending → log recording.

[0078] Further, a multi-level early warning mechanism is adopted, specifically including:

[0079] Secondary early warning (Δh / L > 0.2%):

[0080] On-site: Start the yellow warning light to flash (frequency 1Hz)

[0081] On the platform: Mark a yellow warning icon at the corresponding position in the BIM model

[0082] Maintenance personnel: Need to conduct on-site recheck within 2 hours

[0083] Primary alarm (Δh / L > 0.4%):

[0084] On-site: The red warning light is always on + the buzzer alarms (>85dB)

[0085] Automatically execute: Cut off the power supply of the tower crane (through the relay module)

[0086] Emergency response: Send alarm information synchronously to the person in charge of the project department and the superior supervisors.

[0087] Accident alarm (Δh / L > 5%):

[0088] On-site: Red warning light always on + buzzer alarm (>85dB)

[0089] Automatic execution: Cut off the power supply of the tower crane (through the relay module)

[0090] Emergency response: Send alarm information synchronously to the local emergency rescue unit and lock the data.

[0091] Data traceability mechanism:

[0092] Store the original sensing data of the most recent 72 hours (circular overwrite)

[0093] Key event data (accident) is permanently saved (stored at multiple monitoring ends)

[0094] The embodiment of the present invention provides a real-time monitoring and early warning system for verticality based on multi-sensor fusion, which is a real-time safety monitoring and early warning system based on the Internet of Things. It is applicable to large-scale warehousing and construction industries that have requirements for verticality or where verticality deviation may lead to accidents, especially applicable to the construction field, such as the lifting frames of large metal roofs, various ultra-high support frames, tower cranes, construction elevators and other special equipment safety monitoring, the construction attitude of bridge piers, the spatial attitude of silo slip forms, etc., to realize real-time dynamic monitoring of verticality, spatial attitude monitoring and risk early warning, as well as recording of sudden accidents.

[0095] The above has introduced in detail a real-time monitoring and early warning system for verticality based on multi-sensor fusion provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present invention; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
