Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of safety production technology, specifically a high-level safety protection method based on the differentiation and identification of people and goods. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production in factories, the inflow and outflow of semi-finished or finished products are unavoidable. Some key processes involve automated actions performed by robots, servo axes, and cylinders, typically designed as several workstations. Without strict protection for personnel entering and exiting these workstations, it's easy to imagine the serious safety accidents that could occur if personnel entered during automated machine operation. Current technology uses tunnel-shaped guardrails at the entrances and exits of conveyor lines, with a length of 850mm or more, to prevent personnel from entering. Some manufacturers use incoming material signals combined with photosensitive protection devices to disable the safety function when material is about to arrive, restoring it after the material has passed. However, while these photosensitive protection devices meet safety standards and provide personnel protection, they hinder production. To improve efficiency, on-site personnel might tamper with the protection devices, rendering them ineffective and thus compromising safety, potentially leading to accidents.

[0003] Therefore, traditional shielding safety solutions cannot guarantee that personnel will not enter with materials during the shielding period, thus avoiding danger. Furthermore, the effectiveness of incoming material signals and corresponding controllers cannot be guaranteed, meaning they may fail at any time. Once a failure occurs, a safety accident will be inevitable.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more reliable security protection technology. Summary of the Invention

[0050] In detail, the sensor arrangement step specifically includes: arranging a sensor array at the import and export of the factory automation production station, the sensor array including at least two sensors for detecting the movement trajectory of materials or personnel in the station.

[0051] In the embodiment, the sensor array includes at least one of the following configuration modes:

[0052] Four parallel sensors S1-S4, through time monitoring mechanism or sequence monitoring mechanism for both sides of the material conveying, wherein, as shown in Figure 2 Sensor S1 and sensor S2 are arranged in front of the safety guard, and sensor S3 and sensor S4 are arranged behind the safety guard;

[0064] In the embodiment, the time monitoring mechanism includes the following steps:

[0065] Start time limit: the activation time interval of the sensors (i.e., the sensors S1 and S2) arranged in front of the safety guard is not more than 4 seconds;

[0066] The sensors (i.e., the sensors S3 and S4) arranged in front of the safety guard need to continuously detect the movement of the material within the maintenance time;

[0067] Guard time control: if the time threshold is exceeded, the light curtain shielding function is terminated.

[0068] In the embodiment, the sequence monitoring mechanism includes the following steps:

[0070] During the sequence monitoring, additional monitoring of the interruption of the sensor signal is performed to prevent personnel from bypassing the safety guard by interfering with the sensor signal.

[0071] In detail, the light curtain control step specifically includes: selecting the configuration type (time monitoring, sequence monitoring, T-shaped or L-shaped configuration) of the light curtain scheme through the dial switch, completing the signal logic processing of the sensor array based on the configuration type, and outputting to the safety control system. The safety control system refers to an execution unit of integrated hardware (such as a Muting (safety light curtain) control box and a safety PLC) and software logic, which realizes dynamic control and logic verification of safety protection devices in an automated production station. The signal logic processing of the sensor array refers to real-time analysis, judgment and processing of the original signals collected by the sensor through a hardware circuit, algorithm or controller to verify the movement state of the material or personnel and output the result to the safety control system. The core goal is to ensure the logic consistency of the sensor signals, thereby dynamically controlling the start and stop of the protection device (such as the light curtain and the safety scanner) to ensure production safety.

[0072] In detail, the human-material distinction step specifically includes: distinguishing the material and personnel through the shape recognition algorithm of the sensor, which is based on the differences in size, movement speed and shape characteristics between the material and the personnel.

[0073] In detail, the start-stop control step specifically includes: dynamically controlling the start-stop state of the safety protection device of the station according to the sensor detection result, including:

[0074] When it is detected that the material enters the station, the light curtain shielding function is started, allowing the material to pass and temporarily closing the safety protection device;

[0075] When it is detected that the personnel enter the station, the safety protection device is activated to prevent the automatic action of the dangerous area.

[0076] In detail, the light curtain verification step specifically includes: verifying the effectiveness of the light curtain shielding function through a time monitoring mechanism or a sequence monitoring mechanism, so that only the material is allowed to pass during the safety light curtain shielding period, and the personnel are prevented from following the material into the dangerous area.

[0077] In detail, the abnormality handling step specifically includes: when the light curtain shielding function is started, if an abnormality (such as material jamming) is detected, triggering the jamming dredging function to allow the material to pass under safe conditions.

[0078] Feasibly, the jamming dredging function includes the following steps:

[0079] When the material is stationary in the safety light curtain area for a long time, the safety logic control signal is used to forcibly complete the safety light curtain period; the safety logic control signal is a safety logic control signal used to forcibly end the safety light curtain shielding period, and the core goal is to ensure the safe passage of the material through the dangerous area through manual or automatic intervention in the case of material jamming or other abnormality, while avoiding the safety risk caused by the failure of the light curtain shielding function;

[0080] The safety logic control signal is continuously valid until the material completely passes through the dangerous area;

[0081] Before the device is reset, the system automatically locks the light curtain shielding function to prevent repeated triggering.

[0082] In summary, the high-safety-level protection method based on human and cargo distinction recognition has the following technical features:

[0083] (1) By time monitoring (verifying the passing time of the material) and sequence monitoring (verifying the activation sequence of the sensor), combined with the shape recognition algorithm, the distinction ability of the material and the personnel is significantly improved, and the false triggering problem of the traditional fixed logic is avoided. For example, in a T-shaped configuration, if the material does not cover the intersection of the sensor (d8≥v×response time) within the set time, the system automatically triggers the safety logic control signal to prevent personnel from bypassing the detection.

[0084] (2) Based on time monitoring, sequence monitoring, T-shaped / L-shaped configuration and other muting schemes, a multi-dimensional logic verification is formed to reduce the risk of single failure point. By quickly switching the dial switch, different working condition requirements are adapted, and the safety logic control signal mechanism is integrated. When an abnormality is detected, the light curtain shielding period is forcibly terminated to prevent human interference with the sensor signal.

[0085] (3) When the material is blocked, the system automatically outputs the safety logic control signal to forcibly complete the light curtain shielding period without manual intervention, reduces the downtime, and locks the light curtain shielding function before the device is reset to avoid safety risks caused by false operation or signal interference.
