Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge anti-collision, in particular to a bridge collision sensing device. Background Art
[0002] A bridge is a structure built above the water, used to connect traffic on both sides of the riverbank and provide convenience for people's travel. The bridge needs to be built at a certain distance from the water surface to ensure that ships of different sizes can pass through the bottom of the bridge. However, some ships used for carrying cargo are often prone to the risk of overheight due to the height of the cargo they carry. In this case, if the ship passes under the bridge, it will collide with the bridge. Moreover, because the bottom of the bridge is supported by piers above the water surface, passing ships can only pass between the two piers. For bridges with a small distance between the piers, ships are also prone to collision with the piers when passing.
[0003] To prevent damage to bridges caused by collisions between ships and bridges or piers, devices such as those described in prior art publications CN207259957U and CN207003401U are used to protect bridges and reduce damage. However, this method only works when a collision occurs and cannot warn approaching ships before a collision occurs. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a bridge collision sensing device, which uses the radar in the sensing detection module to detect the approaching ship entering the detection area, and then uses the controller to automatically control two drones to hover at the specified position, and uses the distance sensor to detect the highest point and side distance of the ship. Once the detection result exceeds the set safety value, the controller automatically activates the sound and light alarm to emit sound and light to remind the ship to prevent it from colliding with the bridge body, thereby protecting the bridge body.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a bridge collision sensing device, comprising a sensing detection module, a control processing module being provided at a connection end of the sensing detection module, a warning module being provided at an output end of the control processing module, and a remote access module being provided at an input end of the control processing module;

[0011] The number of the collision sensors is set to two, and the two collision sensors are respectively installed under the bridge and on the side of the pier facing the ship, for transmitting information about the ship colliding with the bridge or the pier;
[0012] The camera is installed under the bridge to capture images of passing ships.
[0013] The number of the drones and distance sensors is set to three, which are used to measure the height from the top of the ship and the side distance from both sides of the ship.
[0014] Preferably, the control processing module includes a controller for receiving information sent by radar, collision sensor, camera, drone and distance sensor and automatically controlling the operation of radar, collision sensor, camera, drone and distance sensor, and the controller sets the water surface range ten meters away from the bridge pier as the detection area.

[0017] Preferably, the remote access module further includes a mobile phone terminal and a computer terminal, and the mobile phone terminal and the computer terminal remotely view the information stored in the cloud server through a wireless communication system.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a bridge collision sensing device with the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. By using the radar in the induction detection module to detect the entry of the ship into the detection area, the controller will automatically control one drone to hover directly above the detection area and the other two drones to hover on both sides of the incoming ship. The distance sensors installed on the drones will detect the highest point and side distance of the ship. Once the detection result exceeds the set safety value, the controller will automatically activate the sound and light alarm to alert the ship to prevent it from colliding with the bridge.
[0020] 2. By installing a radar on the bridge and the pier respectively, if a ship that exceeds the standard forces its way in, it will collide with the radar. The radar will transmit the collision signal to the controller, and the camera will take pictures of the ship and upload them to the controller at the same time. Finally, the controller will transmit the picture to the cloud server for storage. At the same time, the staff will record the information of the ship through mobile phones or computers, publicly criticize it, and hold it accountable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a bridge collision sensing device, comprising a sensing detection module 1, a control processing module 2 is provided at the connection end of the sensing detection module 1, an alarm module 3 is provided at the output end of the control processing module 2, and a remote access module 4 is provided at the input end of the control processing module 2;
[0033] The sensing detection module 1 is used to define a ship detection area and measure the height and side distance of an incoming ship. The control processing module 2 is used to receive information uploaded by the sensing detection module 1 and control the operation of the sensing detection module 1 and the warning module 3.
[0034] Specifically, the control processing module 2 includes a controller 21, which sets the water surface range ten meters away from the bridge pier as the detection area. Therefore, when the ship is within the range of ten meters away from the bridge pier, the control processing module 2 can control the sensing detection module 1 to detect the ship to determine whether it is too high or too wide.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the sensing detection module 1 includes a radar 11, a collision sensor 12, a camera 13, a drone 14 and a distance sensor 15. The distance sensor 15 is installed on the drone 14. Figure 5 As shown, in actual use, the radar 11 is installed on the bridge pier, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the radar 11 is used to measure the distance between the ship and the bridge. When a ship enters the detection area, the radar 11 will first detect it and send a signal indicating that the ship has entered the detection area to the controller 21. The controller 21 controls the drone 14 and the distance sensor 15 to detect the height and width of the ship.
[0036] The number of the drones 14 and distance sensors 15 is set to three, of which the model of the distance sensor 15 is DL35-B15552. When in use, the controller 21 controls one drone 14 carrying the distance sensor 15 to fly to the highest point of the ship. At the same time, the controller 21 controls the other two drones 14 to fly to both sides of the ship respectively, for measuring the height from the top of the ship and the side distance from both sides of the ship to prevent the incoming ship from colliding with the bridge due to excessive height or width. The detection information of the distance sensor 15 is synchronously sent to the controller 21, and the controller 21 determines whether the ship is excessively high or excessively wide.
[0037] The number of the collision sensors 12 is set to two, model 64C-2000-240-024, and the two collision sensors 12 are respectively installed under the bridge and on the side of the bridge pier facing the entry of the ship. When an over-high ship enters, it will collide with the collision sensor 12 installed under the bridge, and when an over-wide ship enters, it will collide with the collision sensor 12 installed on the bridge pier. After the collision occurs, the collision sensor 12 will send information to the controller 21, and the controller 21 will mark the ship information and upload the information to the remote access module 4 for storage;
[0038] The camera 13 is installed under the bridge to capture images of passing ships, including those that are forcibly passing through the bridge and those that are normal and comply with regulations.
[0039] The warning module 3 is used to emit sound and flash to warn incoming ships, such as Figure 2 As shown, the warning module 3 includes an audible and visual alarm 31, which is controlled by the controller 21 and is installed on one side of the bridge facing the direction of the ship entering. Figure 4 As shown, when a ship heading towards the bridge is detected by the distance sensor 15 on the drone 14 and is found to be too high or too wide, the controller 21 will control the sound and light alarm 31 to emit sound and flash to remind the ship to prevent it from passing through the bridge, thereby avoiding damage to the bridge due to collision.
[0040] The remote access module 4 is used by staff to remotely view the information of passing ships;
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the remote access module 4 includes a cloud server 41. The controller 21 uploads the received information to the cloud server 41 for storage via a wireless communication system, including information about ultra-high vessels and ultra-wide vessels. The remote access module 4 also includes a mobile phone terminal 42 and a computer terminal 43. The mobile phone terminal 42 and the computer terminal 43 can remotely view the information stored in the cloud server 41 via the wireless communication system. Staff can remotely view the information of ultra-high or ultra-wide vessels stored in the cloud server 41 via the mobile phone terminal 42 or the computer terminal 43, and can publicly criticize the information and hold them accountable for subsequent responsibilities.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention.
