[0002] In the field of steel logistics and transportation, real-time monitoring of material quantity has always been a technical challenge in the industry. In the traditional steel logistics and transportation process, the monitoring of material quantity often relies on manual inspections or regular inventory checks, which is not only inefficient, but also prone to inaccurate data due to human factors, thus affecting the efficiency and cost control of logistics and transportation.
[0003] With the continuous development of science and technology, especially the increasing maturity of the Internet of Things, sensor technology and data analysis technology, new solutions have been provided for the real-time monitoring of steel logistics and transportation. By integrating advanced sensors and data processing systems, real-time monitoring and precise management of the quantity of materials in the process of steel logistics and transportation can be achieved.
[0004] For example, a Chinese patent (application number: 202222667215.1) discloses a real-time monitoring device for steel logistics transportation, including a container assembly, wherein the container assembly includes a container body, two door bodies, a container bottom plate and a container top plate; a monitoring mechanism, wherein the monitoring mechanism includes a mounting seat, a monitoring box, a monitoring probe, a laser level meter, a PLC controller, a locator and a communication module. The utility model collects images inside the steel logistics transportation container body through a monitoring probe, and then uses a locator to locate the position of the steel logistics transportation container body in real time, and then uses a laser level meter to monitor the storage volume inside the container body, and then uses a communication module to transmit the data collected by the monitoring probe, the locator and the laser level meter to a remote scheduling terminal, so that the staff can judge the type, storage volume and current location of the transported steel according to the data, and make corresponding adjustments to the intermodal route, so that the steel intermodal plan is more reasonable and the efficiency of steel logistics transportation is guaranteed.
[0005] However, in actual use, the device cannot provide accurate feedback on the quantity of tubular materials such as steel pipes using a laser level meter, resulting in inaccurate data feedback and inability to effectively collect and monitor data. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the utility model provides a transportation device that can more accurately monitor and feedback data of tubular materials.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiment of the utility model specifically adopts the following technical scheme: a monitoring device for steel logistics transportation, including a container, a door body is provided at one end of the container, a monitoring module is provided in the container, an image monitoring module is provided on the door body, a quality monitoring module is provided on the bottom plate of the container, the quality monitoring module includes a weighing machine, a load-bearing plate is provided above the weighing machine, and a control box electrically connected to the image monitoring module and the weighing machine respectively is provided on the top plate of the container.
[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:
[0009] The image monitoring module comprises a positioning plate arranged on the door body, a camera, a fill light and a power pack are arranged on the positioning plate, and a storage groove for placing the positioning plate is arranged on the inner side wall of the door body.
[0010] A crossbeam abutting against the container is arranged on the upper part of the door body, and a touch switch electrically connected to the image monitoring module is arranged on the crossbeam.
[0011] A pressing protrusion corresponding to the position of the touch switch is arranged on the side wall of the container.
[0012] A separation gap is arranged between the four sides of the load-bearing plate and the inner wall of the container, and a storage bin for placing steel materials is arranged above the load-bearing plate, and the storage bin is detachably connected to the load-bearing plate.
[0013] The lower part of the storage bin is provided with an alignment ridge, and the load-bearing plate is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the position of the alignment ridge.
[0014] The control box is provided with a PLC controller, a positioner and a communication module.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the utility model are as follows: 1. Through the coordinated operation of the image monitoring module and the quality monitoring module, the materials in the container are monitored in two ways, and the two monitoring data are compared. Compared with the existing single monitoring device, the amount of remaining materials can be monitored more accurately.
[0016] 2. The opening and closing of the image monitoring module is controlled by touching the switch, which can save energy while realizing material monitoring. When the door is opened, the monitoring operation is stopped, which will not affect the unloading and loading operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
