[0025] See also Figure 1-3 The present embodiment provides a cigarette box stack type detection device, including a stereoscopic warehouse A, a tunnel stacking crane and a camera device.
[0026] Laneways are arranged between the three-dimensional warehouses A, and the laneway stacking crane moves in the laneway to store and retrieve goods. The three-dimensional warehouse A includes a shelf, and a cargo platform 1 is arranged in the shelf. The laneway stacking crane transports the stacks to the cargo platform 1. Usually, the stacks can enter from both sides (left and right sides) of the cargo platform 1 in the laneway.
[0027] Photoelectric sensors 2 are installed on the upper end surface and the left and right side surfaces of the above-mentioned cargo platform 1, respectively, for detecting whether the height and length of the stack on the cargo platform 1 exceed the limit. Specifically, two groups of photoelectric sensors 2 are respectively arranged on each surface where the photoelectric sensors 2 are installed, and the two groups of photoelectric sensors 2 cross-emit lasers to form an X-shaped laser detection line 21. The photoelectric sensor 2 is connected to the sound and light alarm. If the stack on the cargo platform 1 exceeds the size limit or collapses, the cigarette box will block the X-shaped laser detection line 21 of the photoelectric sensor 2, thereby triggering the sound and light alarm to alert the staff to deal with the abnormal stack in time.
[0028] Above-mentioned cigarette box pile type detection device also comprises camera device, and camera device is connected with display by communication.In the prior art, because the distance around cargo platform 1 is very limited, the available space has only cargo platform 1 top and very limited height.In the present embodiment, two brackets 4 are provided above cargo platform 1, and camera device comprises two cameras 3.Two brackets 4 are installed on the top of cargo platform 1 just opposite, and a camera 3 is installed respectively on each bracket 4, and each bracket 4 comprises vertical bar 41 and cross bar 42, and vertical bar 41 is connected to the top of cargo platform 1, and cross bar 42 is connected to the top of vertical bar 41, and camera 3 is installed in the middle part of cross bar 42, and the distance from the top of pile is 1500mm, and camera 3 shoots pile downwards from both sides of cargo platform 1, so that the visual field of camera 3 can cover each exposed surface of pile, thereby can collect the image of comprehensive pile.The pile image information collected by camera 3 is uploaded to display to monitor pile situation in real time. Specifically, the camera device is mainly configured to monitor other abnormal conditions besides exceeding the size limit, that is, abnormal conditions that the photoelectric sensor 2 may not be able to detect, such as observing whether the surface of the cigarette box is damaged, whether the stack has partially collapsed, and other abnormal phenomena. By observing the stack image on the display, it can be manually determined whether there is an abnormality in the stack.
[0029] The models of the above-mentioned camera devices are Intel RealSense D435 or Intel RealSense D455C. These two depth camera devices use depth sensing technology, which can realize depth perception and 3D perception of the scene, that is, they can reconstruct the photographed stacking scene in three dimensions, and then display the three-dimensional model of the stacking on the display for the staff to monitor the situation of the stacking more intuitively and comprehensively.
[0030] In terms of the above network transmission, firstly, the cargo platform 1 can move in two directions, namely, along the direction of the lane C and the height direction of the three-dimensional warehouse A, and can communicate wirelessly, reducing the wiring cost; secondly, the metal shelves across different lanes C in the three-dimensional warehouse A seriously block the wireless signal. Figure 3In this embodiment, a wireless access point B is separately provided in each lane C, and the wireless access point B in each lane C communicates with the adjacent camera device through a network. This network configuration can improve the communication efficiency and data transmission speed between devices, and ensure the stability and accuracy of the entire cigarette box stack type detection device.
[0031] A moving device is provided below the cargo platform 1 for moving the cargo platform 1 in the three-dimensional warehouse A.
