[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-7 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:
[0030] An infrared monitoring and warning device for weather conditions near the road surface of a highway, comprising a main support column 4. The main support column 4 includes a support column 401. On one side of the support column 401, an infrared detector 2 is provided, and on the other side of the support column 401, a data transmission device 5 is provided. A fixing frame 204 is sleeved outside the support column 401. An adjustable bracket 206 is provided outside the fixing frame 204. The infrared detector 2 includes an infrared sensor 201 provided outside the adjustable bracket 206. A connecting wire 202 is provided outside the infrared sensor 201. The other end of the connecting wire 202 is connected to the data transmission device 5. Two groups of connecting rods 205 are threadedly penetrated between the adjustable bracket 206 and the fixing frame 204. A solar panel 1 is provided at the upper end of the support column 401, and a support frame 402 for docking the solar panel 1 is provided outside the support column 401. The working wavelength range of the infrared detector 2: 8 - 14 micrometers (far-infrared region): This wavelength band is a part of the far-infrared spectrum and is most sensitive to temperature changes and the radiation characteristics of the object surface. By selecting this wavelength band, the sensor can accurately detect the infrared radiation differences caused by temperature, humidity, and surface state changes. Detection distance: 0 - 100 meters (adjustable): To adapt to different road environments and monitoring requirements, the detection distance of the sensor is designed to be adjustable. In more complex road conditions or areas with higher monitoring requirements, the detection distance can be adjusted to a farther distance to cover a larger monitoring range. In some special environments (such as the exit of a tunnel), the detection distance can be shortened to improve accuracy. Temperature sensitivity: 0.1 °C: High sensitivity is the key to ensuring monitoring accuracy. The sensor can detect a temperature change of 0.1 °C, which enables it to accurately distinguish the infrared radiation differences caused by subtle temperature changes, thereby accurately identifying various weather conditions and response times.
[0031] Specifically, two sets of inner grooves 101 are formed inside the solar panel 1. Slide grooves 104 are arranged on the outer sides of the two sets of inner grooves 101. A threaded rod 102 is rotatably arranged inside one set of inner grooves 101. An installation block 103 is sleeved on the outer side of the threaded rod 102 in a threaded manner. The installation block 103 movably penetrates through the slide groove 104 and extends to the outside. A cleaning brush 105 is arranged on the outer side of the installation block 103 at the part outside the slide groove 104. A motor 106 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the solar panel 1. The power end of the motor 106 movably penetrates through the solar panel 1 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 102. By turning on the motor 106, the threaded rod 102 can be driven to rotate, so that the installation block 103 and the cleaning brush 105 can be driven to move on the upper side of the solar panel 1, facilitating the cleaning of the dust on the upper side of the solar panel 1 and improving the power generation effect of the solar panel 1.
[0032] Furthermore, a slide rod 107 is fixedly arranged inside the other set of inner grooves 101. The slide rod 107 movably penetrates through the installation block 103. The slide rod 107 can limit the installation block 103, so that when the threaded rod 102 rotates, the installation block 103 can be driven to move parallel to the threaded rod 102, thus facilitating the driving of the cleaning brush 105 to move and improving the moving stability.
[0033] It should be noted that two fixing hoops 203 movably penetrate and are inserted into the outer side of the infrared sensor 201 at the part outside the rotatable bracket 206. By arranging the fixing hoops 203, the infrared sensor 201 can be installed and fixed, ensuring the use stability of the infrared sensor 201.
[0034] It should be noted that a railing plate 301 is arranged on the outer side of the main support column 4. Two railings 302 are fixedly arranged on the outer side of the railing plate 301. A fixing plate 403 for butting against the railing plate 301 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the support column 401. A plurality of screws 404 are threadedly penetrated between the fixing plate 403 and the railing plate 301. The main support column 4 is fixed on the railing plate 301 through the fixing plate 403 and the screws 404, ensuring the overall use stability of the device.
[0035] In addition, the data transmission device 5 includes a housing 504 disposed outside the support column 401. A switch 501 is provided on the upper side of the housing 504. The switch 501 is connected to the connection line 202. And a power supply 502 for docking with the switch 501 is provided inside the housing 504. The power supply 502 is connected to the solar panel 1 through a circuit. And a data display screen 503 is provided outside the housing 504. A module bin 505 is provided inside the housing 504. The infrared detector 2 calculates the surface temperature of an object by measuring the infrared radiation intensity emitted by the target. And a positioning module, a data processing module, a warning module and a communication module are provided inside the module bin 505. The data processing module receives the data from the infrared sensor 201 and analyzes these data through a preset algorithm model. Once the data processing module detects a dangerous weather condition, the warning module will issue an alarm to the moving vehicle in various ways. The communication module can transmit the information detected by the device to the traffic management center or other networked devices. The positioning module provides longitude and latitude positioning signals for each device. The positioning module uses a GPS positioning module or a Beidou satellite positioning module and sends it to the data processing module for processing. The data processing module is used to receive the electrical signal data of the infrared sensor 2 and the angle detector and analyze these data through a preset algorithm model. The algorithm model quickly identifies possible dangerous weather conditions by comparing and analyzing the correspondence between the infrared radiation characteristics and the actual weather conditions. The processor can also perform trend analysis by combining historical data to further improve the accuracy of detection. When the data processing module identifies a potential dangerous weather condition, the warning module will be immediately activated. The warning methods include various forms: the electronic display screen by the road displays warning information in real time, the wireless broadcast system sends warnings to the driving vehicles, and alarms are directly sent to the vehicles through V2X (vehicle networking). The warning information can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, when a dense fog appears, the display screen will prompt "Dense fog ahead, please slow down", and on the icy road section, it will prompt "The road surface ahead is icy, drive carefully". Road electronic display screen: resolution 1920x1080, brightness ≥5000 nits; Wireless broadcast system: supports FM / AM, transmission distance 1-3 km; V2X (vehicle networking) communication: supports DSRC or C-V2X protocol. The communication module is responsible for transmitting the information detected by the device to the traffic management center or other networked devices. The communication module can support multiple communication methods such as Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G, vehicle networking, etc. to ensure the real-time and reliability of information transmission.
[0036] Working principle: First, an infrared detector is installed every 20m, and every six detectors form a group, appearing as an array detection unit to monitor the weather conditions of a local road section. Every 100m is an array monitoring unit. Through the infrared detector 2, the road surface conditions can be monitored in real time. When dangerous weather information is detected, first, the warning module will be immediately activated and send an alarm message through the display screens or buzzers on both sides of the road to remind passing vehicles to reduce their speeds and drive safely. At the same time, the communication module will transmit the information detected by the device to the traffic management center or other networked devices to facilitate traffic management personnel to take timely countermeasures and ensure driving safety.
