The first track 11, the second track 12 and the third track 13 all include a connecting piece 14, a guiding piece 15 and a fixing piece 16; one end of the connecting piece 14 is arranged on the guide rail 4, and the other end is arranged with the fixing piece 16; the cross section of the fixing piece 16 is in the shape of a "冂"; a guiding piece 15 is arranged on the inner wall of the top of the fixing piece 16. The cross section of the guide rail 4 is set as an arc; the second track 12 is arranged at the midpoint of the arc, and the first track 11 and the third track 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second track 12. The second track 12 is vertically arranged at the midpoint of the guide rail 4, the first track 11 and the third track 13 are obliquely arranged on both sides of the first track 11, the lower ends of the first track 11 and the third track 13 are close to the second track 12, and the first track 11 and the third track 13 form an angle with the horizontal plane, and the angle is 45° or 60°.

[0021] The image acquisition mechanism 3 is arranged on the first track 11, the second track 12 and the third track 13 through the moving mechanism 2; the image acquisition mechanism 3 on the second track 12 performs data acquisition vertically downward, and the image acquisition mechanisms 3 on the second track 12 and the third track 13 acquire data at the included angle view. After these multi-view images are matched and fused, they can be used to extract more accurate spatial depth relationships and structural features, so as to achieve high-quality three-dimensional reconstruction and improve geometric accuracy and detail restoration ability.

[0022] The moving mechanism 2 includes a motor, a transmission assembly, a moving platform 21, and a gimbal 22; the motor is located at one end of the connector 14; the motor is connected to the moving platform 21 through the transmission assembly; one end of the moving platform 21 is located on the guide 15, and the other end is located on the gimbal 22; the moving mechanism 2 is installed on the first track 11, the second track 12, and the third track 13.

[0023] The image acquisition mechanism 3 is located below the image stabilization gimbal 22 of the moving mechanism 2; the image acquisition mechanism 3 includes an industrial camera, a detection module and a wireless transmission module. The industrial camera acquires image data, the detection module detects the acquired image data, and the wireless transmission module interacts with the central control room.

[0025] The data acquisition device operates in two modes: normal inspection mode and anomaly detection mode. In normal inspection mode, the image acquisition mechanisms 3, mounted on the first track 11, second track 12, and third track 13, synchronously perform routine image capture tasks along a fixed path according to a preset cycle, detecting potential anomalies in the acquired image data and transmitting the data back to the central control room via a wireless transmission module. If an abnormal area is detected, the device switches to anomaly detection mode. In anomaly detection mode, the image acquisition mechanism 3 is displaced by the moving mechanism 2, returning to the location where the anomaly was detected for secondary image capture and detection to confirm the anomaly. It continuously tracks and records changes in the anomaly, and switches back to normal inspection mode after the anomaly has been resolved. This switching between normal inspection mode and anomaly detection mode enables coordinated operation of periodic inspections and anomaly detection.

[0026] When the image acquisition device moves to one end of the first track 11 / second track 12 / third track 13 and approaches the cleaning mechanism 5, the cleaning mechanism 5 starts to work. The duckbill nozzle 52 sprays a small amount of water at the lens of the image acquisition device. The steel brush 53 moves towards the lens under the drive of the telescopic component 54 until the bristles of the steel brush 53 completely cover the lens. The steel brush 53 rotates to wipe the water stains on the lens, thereby achieving the cleaning effect.

The algorithms used for modeling include Vggt and 3DGS algorithms. The data acquired by the image acquisition mechanism 3 is preprocessed, including visualization, downsampling, removal of discrete points, extraction of solids, and scale correction of the point cloud data. The point cloud is then encapsulated, and the coal storage volume is calculated.
