Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of unmanned vehicle intelligent equipment and automated testing technology, specifically to an unmanned vehicle insulation hanging automatic opening and closing status detection device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the detection of the opening and closing status of the insulation hangers on unmanned vehicles in steel plants mainly relies on two traditional methods: manual inspection and simple mechanical switches. Manual inspection involves staff periodically checking the opening and closing status of the insulation hangers to ensure normal operation, but this method is inefficient and susceptible to human error, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the detection. Mechanical switches are devices that detect the opening and closing status through physical contact, but after long-term use, their performance may decline or even fail due to wear, corrosion, etc., and they also require human intervention to check the closed state, failing to provide reliable opening and closing status information for the autonomous driving system.

[0003] The existing technology has the following drawbacks: 1) Manual inspection is inefficient and easily affected by human factors, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the inspection.

[0004] 2) Mechanical switches may experience performance degradation or failure due to wear, corrosion, or other reasons, and may not be able to provide reliable information on their open or closed status.

[0005] 3) Traditional methods make it difficult to remotely monitor and record opening and closing status data, which is not conducive to production management and decision-making. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic opening and closing status detection device and method for insulated hanging devices on unmanned vehicles.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the insulation hanger is movably connected to the side of the vehicle.

[0009] Preferably, the limit sensor is provided with a limit sensor bracket on its exterior to protect the limit sensor.

[0010] Preferably, the limit sensor transmits an electrical signal to a signal feedback system, and the signal feedback system transmits the processed signal to the autonomous driving system.

[0011] A method for automatically detecting the opening and closing status of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) insulation hanger includes the following steps: real-time monitoring of the opening and closing status of the insulation hanger using a limit sensor, and transmitting the processed signal to an autonomous driving system via a signal feedback system for real-time monitoring and feedback of the opening and closing status of the insulation hanger.

[0012] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1) Improved the safety of the unmanned vehicle insulated trailer transportation system and avoided safety accidents caused by abnormal opening and closing states;

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, an automatic opening and closing status detection device for an unmanned vehicle insulation hanger includes an L-shaped bracket 1 installed at the bottom of the vehicle. The L-shaped bracket has a first branch and a second branch. A hydraulic support 2 is installed at the end of the first branch and is movably connected thereto. A support plate 3 is installed at the middle of the second branch and is movably connected thereto. The hydraulic support 2 is movably connected at the middle of the support plate 3. A support rod is movably connected at the end of the support plate 3. The support rod is movably connected to the insulation hanger 4. A limit sensor 5 is installed on the hydraulic support 2. A limit sensor 5 is provided at the end of the second branch. Limit sensor contact brackets 7 are provided at the top and bottom of the support plate 3.

[0024] L-shaped bracket 1 is used to fix and support limit sensor 5, ensuring its stable and reliable operation. The signal feedback system receives the electrical signal triggered by the limit switch, processes it, and then feeds back the processed signal to the autonomous driving system. The autonomous driving system interface is connected to the autonomous driving system to ensure that the opening and closing status information can be accurately and timely transmitted to the autonomous driving system.

[0025] Limit sensor 5: As the core detection element of the system, the limit sensor 5 can detect the opening and closing status of the insulation hanging in real time and trigger the corresponding electrical signal when the status changes, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the information.

[0026] L-shaped bracket 1: The bracket is designed to firmly fix the limit sensor 5, ensuring its stability and reliability under various working conditions, and ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the detection data.

[0027] Signal feedback system: This system receives the electrical signal triggered by the limit switch, processes it quickly, and then accurately transmits the processed signal to the autonomous driving system to achieve effective information transmission and utilization.

[0028] Autonomous driving system interface: This interface seamlessly connects to the autonomous driving system, ensuring that the opening and closing status information of the insulation hanging device can be received by the autonomous driving system in real time and accurately, supporting efficient decision-making and control.

[0029] An automatic opening and closing status detection method for an unmanned vehicle insulation hanger: The opening and closing status of the insulation hanger is monitored in real time by a limit switch, and the processed signal is transmitted to the autonomous driving system through a signal feedback system, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and feedback of the opening and closing status of the insulation hanger.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the control logic and optimization strategy are as follows:

[0031] Dual-variable control mechanism: The system achieves precise control of the thermal insulation hanging's operation by monitoring the power take-off activation status (1 for activation, control effective) and the thermal insulation hanging's operation status (1 for opening, 0 for closing).

[0032] Intelligent scenario adaptability: Combining the vehicle's distance from the target storage location, current driving status, and instructions issued by the cloud control, the system intelligently judges and executes the opening and closing action of the insulated trailer. A destination attribute function has been added, which only determines whether to execute the opening and closing action when the vehicle is approaching the loading or unloading point, or a relevant point before reversing, effectively avoiding unexpected trailer opening behavior.

[0033] Anomaly Handling and Logic Optimization: For potential abnormal behaviors discovered during testing, such as abnormal activation after the vehicle has stopped or activation at inappropriate times, the judgment logic of the insulation hook switch has been optimized through deep collaboration with the cloud control module. The cloud control system dynamically adjusts the task point attributes (e.g., resetting them) based on the task completion status at loading and unloading points, ensuring that each loading and unloading point corresponds to only one opening and closing action, fundamentally solving the safety hazard of vehicles activating the hook outside of loading and unloading points.

[0034] In summary, the automatic opening and closing status detection device for the insulation hanging device of the unmanned vehicle in steel plant of the present invention, by integrating high-precision detection elements, intelligent signal processing and feedback mechanisms, and optimized control logic, achieves efficient and safe control of the opening and closing status of the insulation hanging device, and significantly improves the intelligence level and safety of the unmanned vehicle in steel plant logistics operations.

[0035] The device of this invention has the advantages of simple structure, high reliability and long service life, which improves the safety of unmanned vehicle insulated trailer transportation system and promotes the unmanned and intelligent production process of the steel industry.
