[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application can be used to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the first element from the second element. The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in this application, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The term "multiple" used in this application refers to two or more. The term "and / or" used in this application refers to one of the embodiments, or any combination of multiple embodiments.

[0050] The method for detecting overflow in the rice milling equipment collection box provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The rice milling equipment shown includes a collection box 101, a rice milling assembly 102, a status detection assembly 103, a memory, and a processor 104. Both the status detection assembly 103 and the rice milling assembly 102 are connected to the processor 104. The status detection assembly 103 acquires the status data of the material in the collection box 101 and transmits it to the processor 104. The processor 104 controls the operation of the rice milling assembly 102. During the operation of the rice milling assembly 102, the processor 104 receives the status data of the material in the collection box 101 detected by the status detection assembly 103 and stores the status data in the memory. The processor 104 reads the status data from the memory in real time, and if it determines that there is a risk of material overflow in the collection box 101 based on the status data, it controls the rice milling process to gradually stop.

[0051] In some feasible implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the status detection component 103 includes a height detection component and a weight detection component 201. Both the height detection component and the weight detection component 201 are connected to the processor 104. The height detection component is used to acquire the height data of the collection box 101 and transmit it to the processor 104, and the weight detection component 201 is used to acquire the weight data of the collection box 101 and transmit it to the processor 104. The status detection component 103 includes both the height detection component and the weight detection component 201, monitoring from two independent physical dimensions: space occupancy and mass change. In the event of a failure in either component, verification can be performed through the other dimension, thus achieving double protection.

[0052] In some feasible implementations, the height detection component includes an infrared sensor 202 and an ultrasonic sensor 203. The infrared sensor 202 is positioned at a preset height on the side wall inside the collection box 101, and the ultrasonic sensor 203 is positioned at the top inside the collection box 101. The processor 104 can determine whether the height of the material in the collection box 101 has reached the preset height using the infrared data collected by the infrared sensor 202, and can obtain the specific height data of the material in the collection box 101 in real time using the ultrasonic sensor 203. The collaborative operation of the infrared sensor 202 and the ultrasonic sensor 203 helps to improve the overall robustness, accuracy, and reliability of the height detection component under complex working conditions. Furthermore, in complex industrial environments (such as long-term operation and dusty rice milling workshops), sensor failure is possible. The collaboration between the infrared sensor 202 and the ultrasonic sensor 203 can provide a redundancy backup mechanism, so that even if one sensor fails, overflow detection can still be performed using the other sensor.

[0053] In some feasible implementations, the rice milling equipment also includes an alarm component 204, which is connected to a processor 104. The processor 104 controls the operation of the alarm component 204. If the processor 104 detects a risk of overflow in the collection box 101 through the height detection component and / or weight detection component 201, it controls the alarm component 204 to sound an alarm, alerting the user to the risk of overflow from the rice milling equipment.

[0054] In some feasible implementations, the alarm component 204 includes a voice prompt unit, an LED (light-emitting diode) unit, and a mechanical warning sign 205. The processor 104 can control the voice prompt unit to output a preset voice message to alert the user of a potential overflow risk in the rice milling equipment; it can control the LED unit to flash to visually alert the user of a potential overflow risk; and it can control the mechanical warning sign to unfold to physically alert the user of a potential overflow risk. The processor 104 can also wirelessly connect to an external device to output preset alert information. Using different types of alarm components 204 to alert the user of a potential overflow risk in the rice milling equipment can improve the recognizability of alarm information in complex situations.

[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a method for detecting overflow in the collection box of a rice milling device is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking processor 104 as an example, the explanation includes steps 302 and 304. Wherein:

[0056] Step 302: During the operation of the rice milling component of the rice milling equipment, acquire the status data of the material in the collection box.

[0057] The collection box is used to store the material obtained from the rice milling process by the rice milling assembly. Status data refers to various information reflecting the current state of the material in the collection box, including but not limited to parameters such as weight and height. These parameters visually indicate the accumulation of material within the collection box. The collection box is a container used to temporarily store the material generated by the rice milling assembly during the rice milling process. The rice milling assembly is the core component of the rice milling equipment that performs the core rice milling function. It processes grains such as paddy rice to remove the husk and obtain edible rice and other materials.

[0058] In this embodiment, during the rice milling process when the rice milling component in the rice milling equipment is operating normally, the processor collects relevant status data of the material in the collection box used to store the material obtained after the rice milling component's operation. This data covers multiple aspects of information that can reflect the status of the material in the collection box, such as weight data reflecting the amount of material accumulated in the collection box, and height data showing the height of the material's accumulation in the collection box.

[0059] Step 304: If it is determined from the status data that there is a risk of material overflow in the collection box, control the rice milling component of the rice milling equipment to stop operating.

[0060] Among them, overflow risk refers to the potential dangerous situation where the material in the collection box accumulates continuously, and the state data reflects that the situation has reached or is close to the capacity limit of the collection box. If it continues to increase, it may cause the material to overflow from the collection box.

[0061] In this embodiment, the processor analyzes and processes the acquired state data of the material in the collection box. Based on pre-set judgment criteria or rules, it determines whether the material condition corresponding to this state data indicates a risk of overflow in the collection box. For example, when the height reaches a certain level or the weight exceeds a certain level, it is determined that the corresponding material condition poses an overflow risk. When the analysis confirms that there is indeed a risk of overflow, the processor immediately controls the rice milling component of the rice milling equipment to stop its current operation and cease producing material.

[0062] This application detects whether there is an overflow in the collection box of the rice milling equipment by checking the state data of the material in the collection box. This helps to improve the accuracy of overflow detection in the collection box and automatically controls the rice milling equipment to stop milling rice when there is a risk of overflow, which helps to reduce the risk of overflow in the rice milling equipment.

[0063] In some embodiments, the status data includes height data, weight data, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method for detecting overflow from the rice milling equipment's collection box further includes steps 402 and 404. Wherein:

[0064] Step 402: Determine the overflow risk index of the collection box based on the height and weight data.

[0065] The height data refers to the vertical height of the material inside the collection box, which directly reflects the accumulation height of the material within the box. The weight data refers to the mass of the material inside the collection box, indicating the amount of material accumulated. The overflow risk index is a quantitative indicator that comprehensively considers factors such as the height and weight of the material inside the collection box, used to measure the likelihood of material overflowing from the box.

[0066] In this embodiment, after the processor obtains the height and weight data of the material in the collection box, it performs calculations on the height and weight data. During the calculation process, it comprehensively considers factors such as the influence weight of height and weight on the risk of material overflow, and finally obtains an overflow risk index that can reflect the degree of overflow risk of the collection box.

[0067] Step 404: If the spillover risk index is greater than the preset risk threshold, it is determined that there is a risk of spillage of the material in the collection box.

[0068] The preset risk threshold is a numerical limit set in advance based on the actual situation and needs. It is used as a criterion for judging whether there is a risk of spillage of the material in the collection box. When the spillage risk index exceeds this limit, the material is considered to have a risk of spillage.

[0069] In this embodiment, the processor compares the calculated spill risk index with a preset risk threshold and compares the magnitude of the two. When the value of the spill risk index is found to be greater than the preset risk threshold, the processor determines that there is a risk of spillage of the material in the collection box based on this comparison result.

[0070] First, the overflow risk index is calculated based on the height and weight data of the material in the collection box, quantifying the material accumulation situation. Then, by comparing it with the preset risk threshold, it can accurately determine whether there is a risk of material overflow, which can improve the ability to monitor and judge the overflow situation of material in the collection box, and improve the safety and stability of rice milling operations.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, step 402 above includes steps 502 to 506. Wherein:

[0072] Step 502: Determine the real-time weight change rate of the collection box based on the weight data.

[0073] Among them, the real-time weight change rate represents the change in the weight of the material in the collection box per unit time. It is a dynamic indicator used to measure the rate at which the weight of the material increases or decreases.

[0074] In this embodiment, after the processor obtains the weight data of the material in the collection box, it records the weight values ​​at different times. By calculating the ratio of the difference between the weight values ​​at adjacent times to the time interval, the weight change of the material per unit time is obtained, and thus the real-time weight change rate of the collection box is determined. For example, if the weight at time t1 is recorded as W1, the weight at time t2 is recorded as W2, and the time interval is Δt = t2 - t1, then the real-time weight change rate = (W2 - W1) / Δt.

[0075] Step 504: Normalize the height data and weight data respectively.

[0076] Normalization is a data preprocessing method that maps data with different dimensions and value ranges to a specific interval (usually [0,1]) through specific mathematical transformations, making the data comparable and eliminating the impact of different data dimensions and value ranges on subsequent analysis and processing.

[0077] In this embodiment, after the processor obtains the height data and real-time weight change rate of the material in the collection box, it uses a normalization calculation formula to transform the original value of the height data according to certain rules so that its value range is within the [0,1] interval. For the real-time weight change rate, the corresponding normalization calculation method is also used to map the original value of the real-time weight change rate to the [0,1] interval. After such processing, both the height data and the real-time weight change rate are transformed into data forms with uniform dimensions and value ranges.

[0078] Step 506: The normalized height data and real-time weight change rate are weighted according to preset weights to obtain the overflow risk index of the collection box.

[0079] The preset weights are pre-set based on actual conditions and experience, and are used to reflect the importance of altitude data and real-time weight change rate in calculating the spillover risk index. Different weights indicate that different data have different degrees of influence on the spillover risk index.

[0080] In this embodiment, after the processor obtains the normalized height data and the real-time weight change rate, it multiplies the height data and the real-time weight change rate by the corresponding weight value according to the preset weight. Then, the weighted height data and the real-time weight change rate are added together. Through this series of weighted processing and addition operations, an overflow risk index that can comprehensively reflect the overflow risk level of the collection box is finally obtained.

[0081] Specifically, the height data includes infrared and ultrasonic data. Infrared data serves as a signal for determining the type (output value is 0 or 1), directly used to determine the existence of overflow risk, and does not require normalization. Ultrasonic data represents the height value, which, like the real-time weight change rate, requires normalization. After processing the ultrasonic data and the real-time weight change rate, a weighted average is calculated based on pre-set weights, and the resulting value serves as the overflow risk index. Preferably, the priority weights can be set as follows: infrared data: 0.4, ultrasonic data: 0.3, real-time weight change rate: 0.3. The overflow risk index is calculated by averaging these three factors. When the overflow risk index is greater than or equal to a threshold (e.g., 0.7), the rice milling equipment is deemed to have an overflow risk.

[0082] The above steps help improve the accuracy and availability of data, enabling the spill risk index to more accurately measure the spill risk of materials in the collection box, providing support for subsequent assessment of material spill risk, and thus improving the safety and stability of rice milling operations.

[0083] In some embodiments, the status data includes height data and weight data. The height data includes infrared data and ultrasonic data. The infrared data is collected by an infrared sensor located at a predetermined height on the side wall inside the collection box, and the ultrasonic data is collected by an ultrasonic sensor located at the top inside the collection box. Figure 6 As shown, the method for detecting overflow from the rice milling equipment's collection box further includes steps 602 and 604. Wherein:

[0084] Step 602: Determine the real-time weight change rate of the collection box based on the weight data.

[0085] In this embodiment, similarly, after the processor obtains the weight data of the material in the collection box, it records the weight values ​​at different times. By calculating the ratio of the difference between the weight values ​​at adjacent times to the time interval, the weight change of the material per unit time is obtained, and then the real-time weight change rate of the collection box is determined.

[0086] Step 604: If any one of the following three conditions is met, determine that there is a risk of spillage of the material in the collection box;

[0087] First condition: Infrared data meets preset overflow conditions;

[0088] Second: Ultrasonic data is greater than the preset first height threshold;

[0089] The third item: The real-time weight change rate is greater than the preset change rate threshold.

[0090] The preset overflow condition is a pre-defined criterion based on infrared data. When the infrared data meets this condition, it indicates that the material may have accumulated to a dangerous height in the collection box, posing a risk of overflow. The preset first height threshold is a height limit value pre-set based on the capacity of the collection box and safety requirements. When the ultrasonic data exceeds this threshold, it indicates that the material accumulation height exceeds the safe range, posing a risk of overflow. The preset rate of change threshold is a numerical limit pre-set based on actual conditions and experience. When the real-time weight change rate exceeds this threshold, it indicates that the material enters the collection box too quickly, which may cause the material to overflow in a short period of time.

[0091] In this embodiment, the processor assesses infrared data, ultrasonic data, and real-time weight change rate. For infrared data, it checks whether a preset overflow condition is met. Since the infrared data is collected by an infrared sensor located at a preset height on the side wall inside the collection box, when the material reaches the preset height, it blocks the infrared light emitted by the sensor, resulting in an infrared data value of 1, thus satisfying the preset overflow condition. For ultrasonic data, it compares it with a preset first height threshold to determine if it exceeds this threshold. For the real-time weight change rate, it compares it with a preset change rate threshold to determine if it exceeds this threshold. If any one of these three conditions is met, the processor determines that there is a risk of material overflow in the collection box.

[0092] Furthermore, in the event of an infrared sensor failure, ultrasonic and weight data can be used for detection. If the weight detection component fails, ultrasonic data is primarily used to determine the risk of spillage. This redundancy design ensures that when an infrared sensor fails, the processor will not be rendered inoperable due to a single sensor malfunction, but can quickly switch to ultrasonic and weight data for continued detection. Similarly, when the weight detection component fails, the processor can still rely on ultrasonic data for judgment. This multi-sensor redundancy design significantly improves the processor's tolerance to sensor failures, ensuring that the rice milling equipment can continue to operate stably and effectively monitor for material spillage risks in the collection box even when some sensors malfunction.

[0093] Using a multi-dimensional and comprehensive approach to assess risk can improve the accuracy and timeliness of material spillage risk assessment, thus more effectively preventing spillage and ensuring the normal operation of rice milling.

[0094] In some embodiments, after step 304 described above, the method for detecting overflow in the rice milling equipment collection box further includes:

[0095] Based on the number of conditions that are met, the alarm components of the rice milling equipment are controlled to execute a preset alarm strategy corresponding to the number of conditions that are met.

[0096] The "number of conditions met" refers to the actual number of three conditions that must be met when determining that there is a risk of material overflow from the collection box: infrared data meeting a preset overflow condition, ultrasonic data exceeding a preset first height threshold, and real-time weight change rate exceeding a preset change rate threshold. The preset alarm strategy is an alarm method pre-set for different numbers of conditions met; different numbers correspond to different alarm intensities or forms to accurately reflect the severity of the material overflow risk.

[0097] In this embodiment, after determining that there is a risk of material overflow in the collection box, the processor counts the number of times any of the three conditions are actually met. Then, based on this count, it looks up a pre-set alarm strategy mapping table, determines the corresponding preset alarm strategy, and sends a control command to the alarm component, causing the alarm component to execute the alarm operation according to the strategy. For example, if only one condition is met, the processor controls the alarm component to output a voice prompt message through the voice prompt unit; if two conditions are met, the processor, in addition to the previous steps, controls the alarm component to flash an LED light and output a preset prompt message to an external device via wireless connection; if all three conditions are met, the processor, in addition to the previous steps, controls the alarm component to deploy a mechanical warning sign to physically alert the user that the rice milling equipment has an overflow risk.

[0098] In addition, if only one condition is met, but the user does not take any action for a long time, and the processor continuously detects that the condition is met within a certain period of time, the highest level of alarm strategy can be executed to alert the user through physical structure that there is an overflow risk in the rice milling equipment.

[0099] The tiered alarm system can more accurately convey risk information to operators, enabling them to quickly take appropriate countermeasures based on different alarm levels. This improves the efficiency of responding to material spill risks and further ensures the safe operation of rice milling equipment and the smooth progress of rice milling operations.

[0100] In some embodiments, after step 304 described above, the method for detecting overflow in the rice milling equipment collection box further includes:

[0101] Once the collection box is determined to be in a safe state based on the status data, the rice milling component of the rice milling equipment is controlled to start operating.

[0102] The safe status refers to the fact that there is no risk of material overflow in the collection box, and all indicators (such as height and weight changes) are within the safe range, meeting the conditions for the rice milling component to be restarted.

[0103] In this embodiment, the processor continuously acquires the status data of the collection box, including height data (infrared data collected by the infrared sensor and ultrasonic data collected by the ultrasonic sensor) and weight data. By analyzing and processing this status data, and according to pre-set safety judgment criteria (such as infrared data not meeting overflow conditions, ultrasonic data being less than a preset safe height threshold, real-time weight change rate being less than a preset safe change rate threshold, and weight data being less than the weight when the collection box is full), the processor determines whether the collection box is in a safe state. When the collection box is determined to be in a safe state, the processor sends a control command to the control module of the rice milling equipment, causing the rice milling component to start running and resuming the rice milling operation.

[0104] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, after the processor detects that the rice milling equipment has started rice milling, it simultaneously acquires infrared data, ultrasonic data, and weight data. Then, it performs data fusion processing on the acquired infrared data, ultrasonic data, and weight data. Based on the overflow risk index obtained from the data fusion processing, it determines whether there is an overflow risk.
