Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic truck scales, and more specifically, to an intelligent loading platform for an electronic truck scale. Background Art

[0002] An electronic truck scale is a high-precision electronic weighing device used to measure the weight of vehicles. The electronic truck scale uses load cells to detect the force exerted by the vehicle on the weighing platform and converts it into a weight reading. These sensors are usually strain gauge sensors, which determine the weight by measuring the change in resistance.

[0003] Patent document CN117800117A provides an intelligent loading machine and an intelligent loading system, including: a base, an aggregate conveyor belt, and a metering conveyor belt; the base has a discharge port; the aggregate conveyor belt is fixedly arranged on the base, and the input end is close to the edge of one end of the base for conveying materials through the belt; the metering conveyor belt is fixedly arranged on the base, the input end is located below the output end of the aggregate conveyor belt, and the output end is located above the discharge port for metering the materials output by the aggregate conveyor belt and conveying them to the discharge port. This intelligent loading machine and intelligent loading system can make the loading operation safe, environmentally friendly, intelligent, accurate, and efficient.

[0004] In the prior art, the electronic truck scale does not integrate image recognition technology, so it is impossible to directly judge the loading space of the materials. In the traditional loading system, due to the limitation of the human eye's vision, when the driver adjusts the vehicle position for material loading, it is often difficult to accurately control the loading amount, resulting in either too much or too little loading space. This inaccurate loading method not only reduces the loading efficiency but also increases the safety risks during the loading process, such as personnel injury or equipment damage. Therefore, we provide an intelligent loading platform for an electronic truck scale to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0009] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is located outside the connecting rod, and a mounting seat is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting rod. A mounting platform is fixedly connected to the top end of the mounting seat.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the mounting seat and the mounting platform enables the device to be conveniently installed and disassembled, improving the operation convenience of the device.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, both ends of the guide block are slidably connected to the inside of the guide rail, enabling the linkage block to accurately move along the guide rail, thereby realizing precise positioning and movement of the hopper.

[0017] Furthermore, the top end of the guide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the storage bin, and the outside of the cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the guide rail.

If there is a blind area in the camera recognition area, the controller starts the second servo motor to drive the second gear to rotate. Since the first gear meshes with the second gear, the first gear drives the mounting table to rotate longitudinally, thereby driving the camera to rotate in multiple directions, which is beneficial for real-time capturing of the real-time image of the vehicle-mounted space and timely adjustment of the discharge position of the hopper;

[0023] (2) In the present utility model, through the provided discharge mechanism, after the image recognition mechanism captures the real-time image of the vehicle loading situation, the controller starts the cylinder to drive the linkage block to move along the guide rail.

Subsequently, the controller activates a discharge valve that is consistent with the position of the hopper. By the action of the inclined block, the material smoothly passes through the discharge valve and enters the hopper interior. Thus, by moving the position of the hopper, the material is guided into the idle position of the cargo compartment, which is beneficial for the hopper to be accurately positioned at a suitable position in the vehicle-mounted space and to avoid the driver constantly changing the vehicle position to meet the vehicle-mounted space.

It should be noted that the connection method of the camera 401 enables the camera 401 to be adjusted at multiple angles to obtain the best shooting angle and field of view, thereby improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of image recognition. One end of the camera 401 is fixedly connected to the inside of the first conveyor wheel 403, the inside of the second conveyor wheel 404 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 406, the conveyor belt 405 is respectively sleeved on the outer walls of the first conveyor wheel 403 and the second conveyor wheel 404, the conveyor belt 405 is located outside the connecting rod 402, and the top of the connecting rod 402 is fixedly connected with a mounting seat 10. The top of the mounting seat 10 is fixedly connected with a mounting table 11. The top of the mounting table 11 is fixedly connected with a first gear 12 through a connecting shaft, and the top of the mounting table 11 is movably connected with a second gear 13 through a rotating shaft. The first gear 12 meshes with the second gear 13.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 Figures 5 and Figure 6 , the discharging mechanism 8 includes a guide rail 801, a guide block 802, a cylinder 803, and a linkage block 804. Both ends of the guide block 802 are slidably connected to the inside of the guide rail 801. It should be noted that the two ends of the guide block 802 being slidably connected to the inside of the guide rail 801 enables the linkage block 804 to move precisely along the guide rail 801, thereby realizing the precise positioning and movement of the hopper 15.

[0037] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: First, when the vehicle drives to the vehicle scale body 9, the controller starts the camera 401 and the first servo motor 406. The first servo motor 406 starts the second conveyor wheel 404, and the second conveyor wheel 404 drives the first conveyor wheel 403 to rotate through the conveyor belt 405, thereby adjusting the angle of the camera 401. If there is a blind area in the recognition area of the camera 401, the controller starts the second servo motor 14 to drive the second gear 13 to rotate. Since the first gear 12 meshes with the second gear 13, the first gear 12 drives the mounting table 11 to rotate longitudinally, thereby driving the camera 401 to rotate in multiple directions, which is beneficial to capturing the real-time image of the vehicle-mounted space in real time and timely adjusting the discharging position of the hopper 15. Subsequently, the central processing unit receives the image integrated by the camera 401. Then, the central processing unit issues an instruction to the controller according to the integrated image, and starts the cylinder 803 through the controller to drive the linkage block 804 to move along the guide rail 801. At the same time, the guide block 802 cooperates with the movement of the linkage block 804, thereby driving the hopper 15 to move. Subsequently, the controller activates a discharging valve 3 that is consistent with the position of the hopper 15. By means of the inclined block 2, the material smoothly passes through the discharging valve 3 and enters the inside of the hopper 15. Thus, by moving the position of the hopper 15, the material is guided into the idle position of the cargo compartment.

[0038] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
