[0039] Embodiment 1: Application and implementation of a non-contact safety lock switch device.
[0040] In order to demonstrate the principle of the technical solution of the present utility model, the application of the non-contact safety lock switch device in an industrial environment is described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0041] In an automated production workshop, there are multiple working areas involving high temperature, high pressure or high-speed moving parts. In order to ensure the safety of operators, these areas are usually equipped with protective door devices. However, traditional protective door devices have many problems, including:
[0042] 1. Reliability issues: Traditional mechanical locks are prone to wear in high temperature, high humidity or dusty environments, resulting in frequent failures.
[0043] 2. High maintenance cost: Frequent replacement and maintenance of mechanical parts and wired connections increase operating costs.
[0044] 3. Strong power dependence: Traditional systems require external power supply, which increases the complexity of the system and fails when the power is interrupted.
[0045] 4. Single signal source: Relying on a single mechanical switch or sensor signal, it is easy to cause misoperation or missed operation, which reduces the safety of the system.
[0046] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a non-contact safety lock switch device system based on non-contact data communication and energy acquisition mechanism.
[0047] In the embodiment of the utility model, the MCU controls the reader to send a radio frequency signal through the transmitting antenna. After the electronic tag enters the working area of the radio frequency signal, it generates an induced current and obtains energy, and then is activated and sends its own number information through the built-in radio frequency antenna. After receiving the number information, the MCU determines whether to allow the protective door to be opened. This non-contact communication method reduces the wear and failure caused by physical contact, and can work reliably in harsh environments, especially, improving the reliability and durability of the system.
[0048] 1. When the electronic tag enters the radio frequency signal area, it uses the induction current to obtain energy and sends the number information after being activated. It does not require external power supply, which reduces the maintenance cost and complexity of the system and improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system.
[0049] 2. Through the collaborative control of dual MCUs, the two MCUs jointly control the back-end circuit. Even if one MCU fails, the other MCU can still work normally to ensure the continuity of the system. This design improves the redundancy and safety of the system and ensures the reliability of the system at critical moments.
[0050] 3. MCU controls the switch lock after comprehensive judgment based on the status of the electronic tag, photoelectric switch and other signals. For example, by using the photoelectric switch to detect whether there is a person or object near the protective door, it can effectively prevent misoperation and ensure the reliability and safety of the protective door device in actual application. Through this multi-signal source comprehensive judgment mechanism, the intelligence level and safety of the system are improved.
[0051] The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0052] 1. Install the transmitting antenna on the inside of the protective door frame and stick the electronic tag on the outer surface of the protective door.
[0053] 2. Install the photoelectric switch on the edge of the protective door to detect people or objects near the protective door.
[0054] 3. Connect the two MCUs to the reader, transmitting antenna, photoelectric switch and back-end circuit respectively.
[0055] 4. When the operator approaches the protective door, the photoelectric switch detects the presence of the person, the MCU starts the reader, and the transmitting antenna sends a radio frequency signal. After the electronic tag enters the radio frequency signal area, it is activated and sends the number information. After receiving the information, the MCU confirms the identity and controls the switch lock to open the protective door. When the person leaves the protective door area, the photoelectric switch detects that there is no person, and the MCU controls the protective door to close and lock.
[0056] The utility model solves many problems of traditional protective door devices by adopting the non-contact safety lock switch device system provided by the utility model:
[0057] 1. Improved system reliability and durability: Contactless data communication reduces physical wear and tear and failures.
[0058] 2. Reduced maintenance costs and system complexity: Energy acquisition and activation mechanisms eliminate the need for external power supply.
[0059] 3. Enhanced system security and continuity: Dual MCU collaborative control ensures high redundancy and reliability of the system.
[0060] 4. Improved intelligence level: comprehensive judgment mechanism of multiple signal sources prevents misoperation.
[0061] 5. Easy to maintain and expand: Modular design reduces maintenance costs and improves the scalability and flexibility of the system.
[0062] In summary, the non-contact safety lock switch device system of the utility model effectively solves the technical problems in the traditional protective door device through an innovative technical solution, and significantly improves the reliability, safety and intelligence level of the system. Example
[0063] The utility model provides a non-contact safety lock switch device system based on non-contact data communication and energy acquisition mechanism to solve the above problems. The specific implementation scheme is as follows:
[0064] 1. Contactless data communication: In this system, the MCU controls the reader to send radio frequency signals through the transmitting antenna. After the electronic tag enters the working area of the radio frequency signal, it generates an induced current and obtains energy, and then is activated and sends its own number information through the built-in radio frequency antenna. After receiving the number information, the MCU determines whether the protective door is allowed to be opened. This contactless communication method reduces the wear and failure caused by physical contact, and can work reliably in harsh environments, improving the reliability and durability of the system. For example, in a high-temperature and dusty industrial environment, traditional mechanical locks and wired systems are prone to failure due to environmental influences, while the contactless communication system of the utility model can work stably.
[0065] 2. Energy acquisition and activation mechanism: When the electronic tag of this system enters the radio frequency signal area, it uses the induction current to obtain energy, and sends the number information after being activated, without the need for external power supply. This energy acquisition and activation mechanism reduces the maintenance cost and complexity of the system and improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system. For example, in some mobile devices or temporary work areas where it is difficult to lay power lines, this system can avoid the trouble of power supply layout and related maintenance work.
[0066] 3. Dual MCU collaborative control: This system uses dual MCUs (HC32L136 and HC32L130) to jointly control the back-end circuit. Even if one MCU fails, the other MCU can still work normally to ensure the continuity of the system. This design improves the redundancy and safety of the system. For example, in dangerous working areas with high reliability requirements, even if one control unit fails, the system can continue to operate to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
[0067] 4. Comprehensive judgment of multiple signal sources: MCU controls the switch lock after comprehensive judgment based on the status of electronic tags, photoelectric switches and other signals. For example, by using the photoelectric switch to detect whether there are people or objects near the protective door, it can effectively prevent misoperation and ensure the reliability and safety of the protective door device in practical applications. For example, when there are people near the protective door, the photoelectric switch can detect and prevent the protective door from closing accidentally, thereby avoiding accidents.
