[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the invention, and these aspects of the invention can be achieved even without these specific details.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This invention provides a portable quick-drying curing device for water-based road marking construction, the technical solution of which is as follows: A portable quick-drying curing device for water-based road marking construction includes a moving mechanism 1, a heating mechanism 2, a temperature and humidity monitoring mechanism, and an intelligent control mechanism 3. The moving mechanism 1 includes a moving base 100 and casters 101. Four casters 101 are located at the bottom of the moving base 100, positioned at its four corners. The upper ends of the casters 101 are fixedly connected to the moving base 100. The presence of casters 101 at the bottom of the moving base 100 facilitates its movement. Two foldable push handles 4 are located at the rear end of the moving base 100, spaced apart. The foldable push handle 4 includes a linkage assembly 41 and a handle 42. The linkage assembly 41 includes a first link 410 and a second link 411. One end of the first link 410 is hinged to the movable base 100, and the other end of the first link 410 is sleeved on the outside of the second link 411. The first link 410 and the second link 411 are movably connected. The end of the second link 411 away from the first link 410 is hinged to the handle 42. The foldable push handle 4 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and sturdy. It can be unfolded for use when the device is moving and folded for storage when not in use, reducing space occupation. A shell frame 5 is fixedly connected to the movable base 100. The shell frame 5 has a cuboid structure and is used to fix and protect other mechanisms.

[0020] The heating mechanism 2 includes a heating box 20, a fan, an electric heating wire, and an air outlet pipe. The heating box 20 is fixedly mounted on the movable base 100 and located within the outer shell frame 5. The fan and electric heating wire are installed inside the heating box 20. The fan is located on the inner top of the heating box 20. Air inlets 21 are provided on both the top of the heating box 20 and the top of the outer shell frame 5. The electric heating wire is located below the fan. The electric heating wire is evenly distributed in a spiral shape within the heating box 20 to generate uniform heat. An air outlet is provided at the bottom of the heating box 20; the air outlet is circular. One end of the air outlet pipe is connected to the air outlet. An air guide hole 22 is provided on the movable base 100; the air guide hole 22 is elongated and connected to the air outlet pipe to guide hot air out, ensuring that the heated air is evenly and stably blown onto the water-based marking line. Outside air is drawn into the heating chamber 20 by a fan, heated by an electric heating wire, and then blown out through the air outlet pipe, where it is heated and cured by the air guide hole 22.

[0021] The temperature and humidity monitoring mechanism includes a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The temperature sensor is fixedly installed at the connection between the air outlet duct and the air guide hole 22 to monitor the temperature of the hot air discharged from the air outlet duct. The humidity sensor is fixedly installed on the outer casing frame 5 to monitor the ambient humidity around the device. The temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are respectively connected to the intelligent control mechanism 3.

[0022] The intelligent control mechanism 3 includes a microcontroller. Temperature and humidity sensors are connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller includes a data receiving unit, a data processing unit, and a command sending unit. The data receiving unit receives temperature data from the hot air and humidity data from the surrounding environment. After receiving the temperature and humidity data, the data receiving unit performs noise filtering, data normalization, and outlier detection. Specifically, for sensor data fluctuations caused by temperature jumps due to fan start-up and shutdown, a Kalman filter algorithm is used to smooth the data curve and reduce the impact of instantaneous interference. Min-Max normalization maps all data to the [0, 1] interval to eliminate dimensional influence and ensure fair calculation of feature weights in the model. An isolated forest algorithm is used to identify outliers, such as out-of-range data caused by sensor malfunctions.

[0023] The data processing unit constructs a LightGBM gradient boosting tree model. Based on historical temperature data, the model is trained, with inputs being hot air temperature and ambient humidity, and outputs being optimized heating power and fan speed. By receiving real-time hot air temperature and ambient humidity data, the model is input to obtain the corresponding heating power of the electric heating wire and fan speed. The command sending unit generates control commands based on the model's output heating power and fan speed, and sends these commands to the electric heating wire and fan. This controls the operation of the electric heating wire and fan at a specific power level, achieving optimal temperature for the curing of water-based road markings. Furthermore, an FTRL online learning algorithm is employed to absorb data from each construction operation in real-time, dynamically updating the model parameters so that the algorithm gradually adapts to specific construction scenarios over long-term use.

[0024] Furthermore, to improve the curing efficiency of water-based road markings and enhance the device's ability to handle various types of water-based road markings, this embodiment also includes an ultraviolet (UV) curing mechanism and a microwave curing mechanism. The UV curing mechanism can cure the water-based UV road markings. Microwave curing can accelerate the curing of water-based road markings. Specifically, the UV curing mechanism includes a mounting plate 6 and UV curing lamps 7. Multiple UV curing lamps 7 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 6, arranged longitudinally along the mounting plate 6 and spaced laterally along the mounting plate 6. The mounting plate 6 is positioned below the movable base 100. Both ends of the mounting plate 6 are connected to the outer frame 5 via adjusting components. The adjusting components include an electric telescopic rod 8, with its fixed end fixedly connected to the outer frame 5 and its movable end fixedly connected to the mounting plate 6. A laser distance sensor 9 is also provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 6 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 6. The UV curing lamps 7, the electric telescopic rod 8, and the laser sensor are all connected to a microcontroller. The electric telescopic pole 8 allows for fine adjustment of the height of the ultraviolet curing lamp 7 to accommodate water-based road markings of different thicknesses. The ultraviolet wavelength emitted by the ultraviolet curing lamp 7 can effectively promote the rapid curing of the photocuring components in the water-based road marking paint.

[0025] The microwave curing mechanism includes a microwave generator 12, a waveguide, and a microwave radiator 13. The microwave generator 12 is connected to one end of the waveguide, and the other end of the waveguide is connected to the microwave radiator 13. The microwave generator 12 is connected to a microcontroller. Utilizing the non-thermal and thermal effects of microwaves, deep curing of water-based road markings is achieved. The microwave curing mechanism is built into the outer frame 5. Microwave energy is generated by the microwave generator 12 and uniformly transmitted to the microwave radiator 13 through the waveguide. The microwave radiator 13 radiates the microwave energy onto the water-based road markings at a specific frequency and power. Microwave energy can penetrate the road marking coating, inducing high-frequency vibrations of molecules within the coating, thereby generating heat and accelerating the curing process. Simultaneously, the non-thermal effect of microwaves also promotes the formation of chemical bonds in the coating, improving the curing quality and durability of the road markings. The microwave curing mechanism is connected to the controller, which can automatically adjust the microwave output power and radiation time based on the coating type, thickness, and environmental factors such as humidity and temperature, ensuring consistent and stable curing results.

[0026] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When performing the curing operation after water-based road marking construction, the device is first moved to the road marking construction area via the universal wheels 101. The push handle is extended for easy control of the device's movement. Based on the actual condition of the road marking, the height of the ultraviolet curing lamp 7 is adjusted via the electric telescopic rod 8, ensuring that the distance between the ultraviolet curing lamp 7 and the road marking surface, as detected by the laser distance sensor 9, reaches the optimal curing distance. This distance information is then fed back to the microcontroller.

[0027] The fan and heating wire are turned on. The fan draws outside air into the heating chamber 20 through the air inlet 21, and the heating wire heats the air. The heated air is then blown out from the air outlet at the bottom of the heating chamber 20, providing initial heating to the marking surface, increasing the marking temperature, and accelerating moisture evaporation and the curing reaction of some components in the paint. A temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the hot air blown out of the heating chamber 20 in real time and transmits the temperature signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller automatically adjusts the power of the heating wire and the speed of the fan according to the preset temperature range to ensure that the temperature of the blown hot air remains stable within the appropriate curing temperature range.

[0028] Simultaneously, the ultraviolet curing lamp 7 is turned on. The ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet curing lamp 7 irradiate the water-based road markings that have been preliminarily heated, triggering a rapid polymerization reaction of the photocuring components in the paint, thus achieving rapid curing of the road markings. Throughout the curing process, the laser distance sensor 9 continuously monitors the distance between the ultraviolet curing lamp 7 and the road marking surface. If the distance changes, the controller promptly adjusts the electric telescopic rod 8 to ensure that the ultraviolet curing lamp 7 is always maintained at the optimal working distance, guaranteeing the uniformity and stability of the curing effect.

[0029] Simultaneously, the microwave generator 12 is turned on, generating microwave energy. The microwave energy is then uniformly transmitted to the microwave radiator 13 through a waveguide. The radiator radiates the microwave energy onto the water-based marking line at a specific frequency and power, accelerating the curing process of the coating.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
