[0038] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0039] Reference below Figures 1 to 7 A path marker with a monitoring function according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the path marker with monitoring function according to an embodiment of the utility model includes a pile body 100 , a light display module 300 , a communication module, a control module and a plurality of visual sensor modules 200 .

[0041] Among them, the pile body 100 can be a square column, a cylindrical shape or other suitable shapes. The pile body 100 can be set as a hollow structure. The side wall of the pile body 100 can be provided with multiple prompts. For example, when the path marking pile with a monitoring function is used for a cable pipe, the prompt can be: "There are cables underneath, excavation is strictly prohibited" to remind people that there is a cable pipe nearby.

[0042] The light display module 300, the communication module, the control module and the multiple visual sensor modules 200 can all be arranged in the pile body 100. A vibration sensing module and a positioning module can also be arranged in the pile body 100 to reduce the damage or theft of the light display module 300, the communication module, the control module, the vibration sensing module, the positioning module and the multiple visual sensor modules 200. The visual sensor module 200, the vibration sensing module, the positioning module, the communication module and the light display module 300 are all connected to the control module.

[0043] The vibration sensing module is used to detect the vibration of the path marker with monitoring function. The vibration sensing module can be various vibration sensors. When the path marker with monitoring function is damaged or stolen, the vibration sensing module promptly sends an alarm message to the control module, and the control module then controls the light display module 300 and the visual sensor module 200 to work.

[0044] A plurality of visual sensor modules 200 can be arranged along the circumference of the pile body 100. The number of visual sensor modules 200 can be two, three, four, five or other numbers. For example, when the pile body 100 is a square column, the number of visual sensor modules 200 can be four. The four visual sensor modules 200 are distributed on the four sides of the pile body 100. The shooting direction of the visual sensor module 200 is toward the outside of the pile body 100, so as to facilitate the capture of the environment around the pile body 100. The visual sensor module 200 can be a CCD sensor, a CMOS sensor or other suitable visual sensor module 200. The visual sensor module 200 is a common visual detection device, and its structure and working principle are not described here. The visual sensor module 200 can be loaded with a vibration source library. The visual sensor module 200 compares the vibration process captured with the vibration source library, and can determine the cause of the vibration in time to improve the efficiency and accuracy of intelligent recognition.

[0045] The light display module 300 is used to emit light at night, so as to facilitate the staff to quickly and accurately find the path markers with monitoring functions.

[0046] The positioning module is used to locate path markers with monitoring functions, so that staff can find path markers with monitoring functions in time. The positioning module can be a GPS Beidou dual-mode module, which can make full use of the strengths and satellite resources of the two satellite positioning systems, GPS and Beidou, with higher accuracy and reliability, meeting the needs of various application scenarios. Of course, the positioning module can also be a separate GPS module or Beidou module.

[0047] The control module is used to coordinate the operation of the visual sensor module 200, the vibration sensing module, the positioning module and the communication module, and can process and transmit data.

[0048] The communication module can be a 4G communication module, a 5G communication module or other suitable communication modules, and the communication module is used to transmit relevant videos, images, alarm information and positioning information to the background.

[0049] The light display module 300, the control module, the vibration sensing module, the visual sensor module 200, the positioning module and the communication module can all adopt a low-power design, thereby reducing power consumption and increasing service life. The visual sensor module 200, the light display module 300, the vibration sensing module, the control module, the positioning module and the communication module are all relatively common devices in various industries, and their structures and working principles are not described in detail here.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the path marker post with a monitoring function vibrates, for example, when the path marker post with a monitoring function is damaged or stolen and vibrates, the vibration sensing module senses and sends an alarm message to the control module, and the control module controls the communication module to send the alarm message to the background. At the same time, multiple visual sensor modules 200 can cooperate to shoot the process and personnel of the path marker post with a monitoring function being damaged or stolen. The visual sensor module 200 processes the captured video or image and transmits it to the control module. The control module controls the communication module to transmit the video and image to the background, and the staff can process it in time. Moreover, the staff can understand the process and personnel of the path marker post with a monitoring function being damaged or stolen through the video or image, which is convenient for the staff to grasp the on-site situation and determine whether it is a false alarm. At the same time, the control module controls the light display module 300 to emit light, and the positioning module positions the path marker post with a monitoring function, so as to facilitate the staff to quickly and accurately reach the scene of the incident. In the event of theft, it is also convenient to track and retrieve, recover losses, and has better practicality.

[0051] It should be noted that the visual sensor module 200 can have the function of expanding and replacing the vibration source library, and can replace different vibration source libraries for different environments, while supporting the increase and decrease of vibration source data, thereby further improving the efficiency and accuracy of intelligent recognition.

[0052] It is understandable that the control module can have a self-learning function. When the self-learning function is started, the control module does not actively report the alarm information, and obtains the vibration amplitude and frequency of the on-site environment as the initial state within a certain period of time. After that, the control module turns off the self-learning function and enters the working state. When the path marker with a monitoring function is damaged or stolen, the vibration sensing module detects that the vibration amplitude and frequency generated by the external environment are higher than the initial state. The vibration sensing module generates new alarm information, the visual sensor module 200 takes videos and images, and the control module sends videos, images and alarm information to the background through the communication module in a timely manner.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, a housing 400 is provided in the pile body 100, and the light display module 300, the communication module and the control module are all provided in the housing 400.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the housing 400 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 401 arranged along the circumference of the housing 400, and the visual sensor module 200 is installed in the mounting holes 401. Such a configuration not only makes the installation of the visual sensor module 200 more convenient, but also facilitates the shooting direction of the visual sensor module 200 toward the outside of the pile body 100, thereby facilitating the capture of the environment around the pile body 100.

[0055] It should be noted that when the shell 400 is square, the circumferential direction of the shell 400 refers to the direction around the shell 400 , and when the shell 400 is disc-shaped, the circumferential direction of the shell 400 refers to the circumferential direction of the shell 400 .

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the side wall of the pile body 100 is provided with a shooting hole 101 corresponding to the visual sensor module 200, and the shooting hole 101 is provided with a transparent cover 102.

The circuit board 500 is provided to facilitate the installation of the light display module 300, the communication module and the control module. The housing 400 is filled with an elastic buffer layer 600 below the circuit board 500. The elastic buffer layer 600 can be made of elastic rubber, elastic silicone or elastic plastic. The elastic buffer layer 600 is provided, and the elastic buffer layer 600 has good performance in mitigating impact, can play a buffering role, and protect the circuit board 500. The visual sensor module 200 is partially embedded in the elastic buffer layer 600, so that the visual sensor module 200 is installed more firmly. In addition, the elastic buffer layer 600 can also play a certain sealing role, and can be dustproof and waterproof.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a cover body 402 is provided at the top of the housing 400, and a side plate 403 is provided on the circumference of the cover body 402.

The inner surface of the inclined plate 406 is provided with a mounting portion 407, and the mounting portion 407 abuts against the top of the shell 400 and is connected to the shell 400 through a fastener. Specifically, the bottom surface of the mounting portion 407 can be horizontally arranged, the top surface of the shell 400 can be horizontally arranged, the bottom surface of the mounting portion 407 fits the top surface of the shell 400, and the mounting portion 407 and the shell 400 are both provided with connection holes, and a fastener is installed between the two corresponding connection holes. In this embodiment, the cover body 402 is provided with an inclined plate 406, which can reduce the accumulation of rainwater, and the mounting portion 407 is provided, so that the installation of the cover body 402 is more convenient and stable.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the top of the shell 400 is provided with a cover body 402, and the cover body 402 is provided with a clearance hole 408.
