Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of concrete detection, in particular to a concrete batching detection device and a concrete transmission system. Background Art

[0002] Concrete is primarily composed of raw materials such as manufactured sand, natural sand, large and small stones, and admixtures. The varying proportions of these raw materials can affect the concrete's performance. In particular, the size and moisture content of the sand and gravel components significantly impact the final concrete product. If the moisture content of the sand and gravel in ready-mixed concrete is high, admixtures can be added to reduce the moisture content, improving the final concrete's performance. Conversely, if the moisture content is low, appropriate amounts of water can be added during mixing to improve the quality of the finished product. Therefore, to ensure the efficiency of subsequent operations and the quality of the finished concrete, it's essential to conduct pre-processing and assess the condition of the concrete's raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a concrete batching detection device and a concrete transmission system to solve the problem in the related art that the state of concrete raw materials cannot be accurately judged.

Secondly, by allowing the camera bracket to be slidably connected to the fixed support plate, the influence of processing errors can be reduced, ensuring that the camera head can collect status information of concrete ingredients. In addition, by allowing the fixed support plate to extend along the length direction of the box body, the staff can determine the assembly direction of the fixed support plate in the box body in a short time, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing the time consumed by debugging.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the camera bracket includes a first support plate and a second support plate arranged perpendicular to the first support plate, the first support plate is slidably connected to the second slide groove, the second support plate is located below the fixed support plate, and the second support plate is provided with the first slide groove extending along the height direction of the box body, the camera is slidably connected to the second support plate through the first slide groove, and the camera is suitable for moving along the first slide groove and / or the second slide groove under power drive.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The present invention, through the combination of the first support plate and the second support plate, and the design of the first chute and the second chute, allows the camera to be adjusted in both the length and height directions of the box, thereby improving the flexibility of information collection. In addition, since the first chute extends along the height direction of the box, the camera focus and exposure can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the camera on the second support plate, allowing the camera to easily adapt to different shooting conditions and ensuring the accuracy of the information data. Secondly, by using a power device to drive the camera to move along the first chute and the second chute, the degree of automation of the concrete batching detection device can be improved, reducing manual intervention and ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of position adjustment.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, both the first support plate and the second support plate are provided with bolts, the bolts on the first support plate are slidably connected to the second sliding groove, and the first support plate is fixed to the fixed support plate by tightening the nuts of the bolts on the first support plate; the bolts on the second support plate are slidably connected to the first sliding groove, and the camera is fixed to the second support plate by tightening the nuts of the bolts on the second support plate.

[0017] Beneficial effects: Due to the sliding connection characteristics of the bolt and the first slide groove, the staff can fine-tune the position of the first support plate before tightening the nut to ensure that the camera is in the best shooting position. Secondly, after tightening the nut on the bolt, the position of the camera and the camera bracket can be locked, that is, the camera can always be in the best shooting position, reducing the possibility of camera displacement due to vibration or external impact, and ensuring the accuracy of information collection. In addition, the sliding connection between the bolt and the first slide groove can make the installation and disassembly between the camera and the second support plate simple and quick, thereby improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly and reducing the labor intensity of the staff. Similarly, the use of the bolt and the second slide groove for sliding connection has a similar effect to the sliding connection between the bolt and the first slide groove, which will not be repeated here.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, there are multiple first chutes and multiple second chutes, multiple first chutes are arranged side by side on the second support plate, multiple second chutes are arranged side by side on the fixed support plate, and a strip opening arranged parallel to the second chutes is provided between any two adjacent second chutes, and the second support plate is passed through the strip opening.

[0019] Beneficial effect: The present invention provides a plurality of first slide grooves on the second support plate, which means that the connection points between the second support plate and the camera are increased. In this way, not only can the camera slide more smoothly on the second support plate, but also the load on the second support plate can be dispersed, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. Similarly, the present invention provides a plurality of second slide grooves on the fixed support plate, which means that the connection points between the first support plate and the fixed support plate are increased. In this way, not only can the first support plate slide more smoothly on the fixed bracket, but also the load on the first support plate can be dispersed, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. In addition, by providing the strip opening between any two adjacent second slide grooves and making the extension direction of the strip opening consistent with the extension direction of the second slide groove, the movement direction of the second support plate can be ensured to be consistent with the movement direction of the first support plate, thereby avoiding interference between the second support plate and the fixed support plate.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the first support plate is provided with a wire barrel passing through the first support plate, and the wire barrel is suitable for passing an electrical wiring harness.

[0021] Beneficial effect: The utility model provides a wire bobbin on the first support plate, which helps the staff to organize and guide the electrical wiring harness in the box, keeps the wiring in the box neat and orderly, avoids confusion and entanglement of the wiring harness, and improves the efficiency of installation and maintenance.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, a light source is provided in the box, and the light source is arranged above the light-transmitting plate. The light from the light source passes through the light-transmitting plate and is projected onto the surface of the concrete batching.

[0023] Beneficial effects: The utility model sets a light source in the box and allows the light of the light source to pass through the light-transmitting plate. On the one hand, it can make the surface of the concrete ingredients obtain uniform and consistent illumination. On the other hand, it can ensure the uniqueness of the light source during the image detection process, reduce the interference of external light on the camera's collection of information, and improve the accuracy of the collected information.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the light source is arranged around or below the camera through a light source bracket.

[0025] Beneficial Effects: The present invention utilizes a light source bracket to position the light source within the housing, allowing it to be stably positioned at a preset position within the housing, reducing the risk of displacement due to vibration or external impact. Furthermore, positioning the light source bracket near or below the camera prevents the camera from obstructing the light source, ensuring optimal image acquisition.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, a light source shell is further provided in the box body and is arranged outside the light source. The light source shell is arranged above the light-transmitting plate through the light source bracket. A through hole suitable for the camera to pass through is provided on the light source shell, and the light source is located on the peripheral side of the through hole.

[0027] Beneficial Effects: By providing a light source housing outside the light source, the present invention provides additional protection for the light source, preventing external dust, moisture, or other impurities from directly contacting the light source, thereby extending the light source's service life and improving its stability and reliability. Furthermore, by allowing the camera to pass through the through-hole in the light source housing for shooting, light is not only more evenly irradiated onto the concrete mix, but also prevents the camera's own shadow from being cast on the concrete mix.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the box body is provided with a mounting opening, and the mounting opening is provided with a cover plate.

[0029] Beneficial Effects: By providing a mounting port on the housing, this utility model facilitates installation and removal of internal cavity structures, such as a camera mount. Furthermore, by providing a cover plate on the mounting port, the housing cavity is not only isolated from the external environment but also creates a relatively dark environment within the housing cavity, improving the camera's information collection capabilities.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the light-transmitting plate is tempered glass and is fixed to the bottom plate of the box through glass clips; and the camera is an industrial camera.

[0031] Beneficial Effects: This utility model utilizes tempered glass as the light-transmitting plate, ensuring that the light emitted by the light source can smoothly pass through the light-transmitting plate and be projected onto the surface of the concrete mix while also ensuring that the tempered glass effectively protects the camera head. Furthermore, by securing the tempered glass to the bottom plate of the box using glass clips, the tempered glass is always positioned in a preset position, ensuring that it protects the camera head at all times. Furthermore, configuring the camera as an industrial camera reduces equipment procurement costs and improves the convenience of subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the box body is provided with box body legs on two opposite sides along the length direction thereof.

[0033] Beneficial effect: The utility model sets box legs at the bottom of the box, which can, on the one hand, provide a stable support point for the box and reduce the possibility of the camera shaking during operation; on the other hand, it can disperse the pressure generated by the box on the installation point such as the conveyor belt bracket and reduce the probability of deformation of the conveyor belt bracket.

[0034] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a concrete delivery system, comprising:

[0035] A conveying device, comprising a conveyor belt support and a conveyor belt arranged on the conveyor belt support;

[0036] In the above-mentioned concrete batching detection device, the box body spans above the conveyor belt.

[0037] Beneficial effects: The utility model sets the above-mentioned concrete batching detection device on the conveyor belt bracket and allows the box to span above the conveyor belt, so that the camera can monitor the process of transporting concrete batching in real time and provide real raw material information for subsequent concrete production. In this way, a reasonable mix ratio can be calculated, and then concrete additives can be reasonably used, thereby reducing the production cost of concrete and improving the concrete's own strength and service life.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the box is mounted on the conveyor belt support.

[0039] Beneficial Effects: During the actual concrete batching process, the distance between the conveyor belt and the ground is relatively far. Therefore, installing the box on the ground would not only increase installation costs but also make it more difficult to adjust the box's position. For these reasons, this embodiment installs the box on the conveyor belt bracket, which not only facilitates adjustment and installation of the concrete batching detection device but also makes the overall structure of the concrete batching detection device more compact.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the axis direction of the camera is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0041] Beneficial effect: The utility model allows the axis direction of the camera to be perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, which can keep the viewing angle of the industrial camera perpendicular to the conveyor belt, thereby preventing the existence of an angle between the image coordinate system and the world coordinate system and ensuring the accuracy of image calculation.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, blackout cloth is provided on both sides of the box along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt. The blackout cloth is located above the conveyor belt and blocks part of the conveyor belt. One end of the blackout cloth is connected to the box, and the other end is connected to the conveyor belt bracket.

[0043] Beneficial effect: By arranging blackout cloth on both sides of the box, the utility model can place the shielded conveyor belt and camera in a dark working environment, reduce the interference of external environment such as light on the camera's collection of information, and ensure the accuracy of the collected information.

[0056] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] Concrete is an important support for the "Made in China" brand and is widely used in housing construction, bridge supports, airport construction, roads, railways, various industrial mining and military defense construction. The market has put forward higher requirements for the green, low-carbon, high-quality, high-performance, multi-functional and guaranteed use of concrete and cement products, so the requirements in the concrete production process are more stringent.

[0058] Concrete is primarily composed of raw materials such as manufactured sand, natural sand, large and small stones, and admixtures. When preparing concrete, the proportions of these raw materials can have a certain impact on the concrete's performance. Therefore, it's essential to test the moisture content and size of the stone and sand before the concrete sand and gravel ingredients enter the mixer. This allows for optimal raw material mix ratios, reduces production costs, and improves the quality of the finished product.

[0059] Therefore, in order to solve the problem in the related art that the state of concrete raw materials cannot be accurately judged, the utility model provides a concrete batching detection device and a concrete transmission system.

[0060] The following combination Figures 1 to 9 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a concrete batching detection device is provided, including: a box 1 and a camera.

[0062] Specifically, the box body 1 is provided with a cavity 101, and a light-transmitting plate is provided at the bottom of the cavity 101; the camera has a camera head, the camera is installed in the cavity 101, and the camera is set towards the light-transmitting plate for collecting status information of concrete ingredients.

[0063] Since concrete production sites are usually humid and dusty, in order to reduce the impact of dust and water droplets on the camera, the present invention sets the camera in the cavity 101 of the box 1, which can form the external protective structure of the camera, provide a relatively dry and clean environment for the camera, reduce the probability of camera damage, and ensure the working condition and service life of the camera. Secondly, setting the camera in the cavity 101 of the box 1 can also allow the box 1 to provide a relatively dark environment for the camera, reduce the interference of external light on the camera's information collection, and improve the accuracy of the collected information. Furthermore, by providing a light-transmitting plate at the bottom of the cavity 101, it is possible to ensure that the camera's information collection work is not affected while reducing the possibility of concrete ingredients damaging the camera's camera lens. In addition, by using a camera to collect the status information of the concrete ingredients, not only can the process of transporting the concrete ingredients be monitored in real time, but it can also reduce manual intervention, improve work efficiency, and ensure the accuracy of the information collection results. In this way, reliable data support can be provided for subsequent concrete production, which helps the production site calculate the concrete mix ratio based on the information before the raw materials enter the mixing plant. Furthermore, concrete additives, water and other materials can be used rationally to reduce the production cost of concrete and improve the concrete's own strength and service life.

[0064] It should be noted that, since the concrete production site is usually a humid and dusty environment, in order to increase the service life of the box body 1, the material of the box body 1 in this embodiment can be stainless steel.

[0065] In order to improve the detection automation of the concrete batching detection device, automatic detection technology can be used. For example, a controller can be set up to compare the standard image preset in the controller with the image taken by the camera to determine whether the concrete batching status information currently collected by the camera is appropriate, and this can be used as the basis for subsequent adjustments.

[0066] In addition, it can also be judged by the naked eye. This method is more convenient and does not require the setting up of automatic detection equipment, but it requires a higher level of experience from the inspectors.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, cavity 101 further includes a camera bracket 2 for mounting a camera. The camera is movably connected to housing 1 via bracket 2, allowing for adjustment of the relative position between the camera and the light-transmitting plate. The camera in this embodiment is movably connected to housing 1 via bracket 2, allowing staff to flexibly adjust the relative position between the camera and the light-transmitting plate as needed, ensuring the camera is positioned optimally for capturing images, thereby improving image clarity and accuracy.

[0068] For the convenience of description, the following Figure 2 The directions shown in represent the length direction and height direction of the box body 1.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the camera bracket 2 is provided with a first slide groove 201, through which the camera slides with the housing 1, for adjusting the relative position between the camera and the light-transmitting plate. This embodiment reduces the difficulty of adjusting the camera position and improves operational convenience by providing the first slide groove 201 on the camera bracket 2 and allowing the camera to slide with the housing 1 through the first slide groove 201. Furthermore, compared to other position adjustment methods, the use of a slide groove sliding connection can improve response speed and shorten the time consumed for position adjustment.

[0070] It should be noted that the extension direction of the first chute 201 on the camera bracket 2 can be adjusted according to specific needs. For example, the first chute 201 on the camera bracket 2 extends along the height direction of the box 1; or the first chute 201 on the camera bracket 2 extends along the length direction of the box 1.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2The cavity 101 is also provided with a fixed support plate 3 positioned between the top plate 102 and the bottom plate 103 of the housing 1. The fixed support plate 3 extends along the length of the housing 1 and is provided with a second chute 301 extending along the length of the housing 1. The camera bracket 2 is slidably connected to the fixed support plate 3 via the second chute 301. This embodiment, by providing the fixed support plate 3 with the second chute 301 extending along the length of the housing 1 and allowing the camera bracket 2 to slide with the fixed support plate 3 via the second chute 301, allows personnel to flexibly adjust the camera position according to actual needs, ensuring the camera obtains the optimal shooting angle and field of view. Furthermore, by slidably connecting the camera bracket 2 to the fixed support plate 3, the impact of manufacturing errors can be reduced, ensuring that the camera head can capture information about the status of the concrete mix. Furthermore, by extending the fixed support plate 3 along the length of the housing 1, personnel can quickly determine the assembly direction of the fixed support plate 3 within the housing 1, improving assembly efficiency and reducing debugging time.

[0072] It is understandable that when the fixed support plate 3 is arranged along the height direction of the box body 1, the second slide groove 301 located on the fixed support plate 3 can extend along the length direction of the box body 1 or along the height direction of the box body 1, as long as the relative position between the camera and the light-transmitting plate can be adjusted. For example, in a specific embodiment, the fixed support plate 3 is arranged along the height direction of the box body 1 and the fixed support plate 3 is provided with a second slide groove 301 extending along the height direction of the box body; secondly, the camera bracket 2 includes a first support plate 202 and a second support plate 203 arranged perpendicular to the first support plate 202, the first support plate 202 is slidably connected to the second slide groove 301, the second support plate 203 extends along the length direction of the box body 1 and is located on the side of the first support plate 202 away from the second slide groove 301, the second support plate 203 is provided with a first slide groove 201 extending along the length direction of the box body 1, and the camera is slidably connected to the second support plate 203 via the first slide groove 201.

[0073] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the camera bracket 2 includes a first support plate 202 and a second support plate 203 disposed perpendicularly thereto. The first support plate 202 is slidably connected to a second slide 301. The second support plate 203 is located below the fixed support plate 3. The second support plate 203 is provided with a first slide 201 extending along the height of the housing 1. The camera is slidably connected to the second support plate 203 via the first slide 201. The camera is adapted to move along the first slide 201 and / or the second slide 301 under power. This embodiment, through the combination of the first support plate 202 and the second support plate 203, and the design of the first and second slides 201 and 301, allows the camera to be adjusted in both the length and height of the housing 1, enhancing the flexibility of data acquisition. Furthermore, since the first slide 201 extends along the height of the housing 1, adjusting the camera's position on the second support plate 203 allows for adjustment of the camera's focus and exposure, allowing the camera to easily adapt to varying shooting conditions and ensuring the accuracy of the data. Secondly, by driving the camera to move along the first chute 201 and the second chute 301 through the power device, the degree of automation of the concrete batching detection device can be improved, manual intervention can be reduced, and the timeliness and accuracy of position adjustment can be ensured.

[0074] In this embodiment, the camera can be manually driven to move along the first chute 201 and / or the second chute 301, or the camera can be driven to move along the first chute 201 and / or the second chute 301 by a power device. Specifically, by using a power device to drive the camera to move along the first chute 201 and the second chute 301, the degree of automation of the concrete batching detection device can be improved, manual intervention can be reduced, and the timeliness and accuracy of position adjustment can be ensured.

[0075] It should be noted that the power device in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a drive motor, and a lead screw. This utility model does not limit the specific form of the power device, as long as it can drive the camera to slide along the first slide groove 201 and / or the second slide groove 301. The following uses a cylinder as an example to illustrate the connection between the power device and the camera.

[0076] In a specific embodiment, two vertically arranged telescopic cylinders are provided within the cavity 101 of the housing 1. Specifically, the telescopic end of one telescopic cylinder is connected to the first support plate 202 or the second support plate 203 and is capable of driving the camera support 2 to reciprocate along the length of the housing 1 on the second slide 301; the telescopic end of the other telescopic cylinder is connected to the camera and is capable of driving the camera to reciprocate along the height of the housing 1 on the first slide 201.

[0077] According to one embodiment of the present invention, both the first support plate 202 and the second support plate 203 are provided with bolts. The bolts on the first support plate 202 are slidably connected to the second slots 301, and the first support plate 202 is fixed to the fixed support plate 3 by tightening the nuts on the bolts on the first support plate 202. The bolts on the second support plate 203 are slidably connected to the first slots 201, and the camera is fixed to the second support plate 203 by tightening the nuts on the bolts on the second support plate 203. Due to the sliding connection between the bolts and the first slots 201, the position of the first support plate 202 can be fine-tuned before tightening the nuts to ensure the camera is in the optimal shooting position. Furthermore, after tightening the nuts on the bolts, the position of the camera and the camera bracket 2 is locked, ensuring that the camera is always in the optimal shooting position, reducing the possibility of camera displacement due to vibration or external impact, and ensuring accurate data acquisition. Furthermore, the use of a sliding connection between the bolt and the first slide groove 201 allows for quick and easy installation and removal of the camera from the second support plate 203, thereby improving installation and removal efficiency and reducing labor intensity. Similarly, the use of a sliding connection between the bolt and the second slide groove 301 has similar effects as the sliding connection between the bolt and the first slide groove 201, and will not be further described here.

[0078] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple first slide grooves 201 and second slide grooves 301. Multiple first slide grooves 201 are arranged side by side on the second support plate 203, and multiple second slide grooves 301 are arranged side by side on the fixed support plate 3. A strip-shaped opening arranged parallel to the second slide grooves 301 is provided between any two adjacent second slide grooves 301, and the second support plate 203 is inserted into the strip-shaped opening. In this embodiment, by providing multiple first slide grooves 201 on the second support plate 203, this means that there are more connection points between the second support plate 203 and the camera. This not only allows the camera to slide more smoothly on the second support plate 203, but also disperses the load on the second support plate 203, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. Similarly, this embodiment provides multiple second chutes 301 on the fixed support plate 3, which increases the number of connection points between the first support plate 202 and the fixed support plate 3. This not only allows the first support plate 202 to slide more smoothly on the fixed bracket, but also disperses the load on the first support plate 202, improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. Furthermore, by providing a strip-shaped opening between any two adjacent second chutes 301 and aligning the extension direction of the strip-shaped opening with the extension direction of the second chutes 301, the movement direction of the second support plate 203 is guaranteed to be consistent with the movement direction of the first support plate 202, thereby preventing interference between the second support plate 203 and the fixed support plate 3.

[0079] It is understood that, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, the camera can be directly connected to the box body 1 by sliding. For example, if the camera is to move along the length of the box body 1, a slide extending along the length of the box body 1 can be provided on the top plate 102 of the box body 1; if the camera is to move along the height of the box body 1, a slide extending along the height of the box body 1 can be provided on the side wall of the box body 1.

[0080] In addition, in order to improve the stability of the camera in the box 1, the camera bracket 2 can be slidably connected to the top plate 102 or the side wall of the box 1. The following is an explanation with reference to a specific example:

[0081] In one example, a slide extending along the length of the box 1 is provided on the top plate 102 of the box 1, and the camera is slidably connected to the box 1 via the slide. In addition, the box 1 is also provided with a camera bracket 2 for mounting the camera. The camera bracket 2 includes a first support plate 202 and a second support plate 203 arranged perpendicular to the first support plate 202. The first support plate 202 is slidably connected to the slide, and the second support plate 203 is located below the first support plate 202. The second support plate 203 is provided with a first slide groove 201 extending along the height of the box 1. The camera is slidably connected to the second support plate 203 via the first slide groove 201. The camera is suitable for moving along the slide and / or the first slide groove 201 under power.

[0082] In another example, a slide extending along the height of the box 1 is provided on the side wall of the box 1, and the camera is slidably connected to the box 1 via the slide. In addition, the box 1 is also provided with a camera bracket 2 for mounting the camera. The camera bracket 2 includes a first support plate 202 and a second support plate 203 arranged perpendicular to the first support plate 202. The first support plate 202 is slidably connected to the slide, and the second support plate 203 extends along the length of the box 1 and is located on the side of the first support plate 202 away from the slide. The second support plate 203 is provided with a first slide groove 201 extending along the length of the box 1. The camera is slidably connected to the second support plate 203 via the first slide groove 201. The camera is suitable for moving along the slide and / or the first slide groove 201 under power.

[0083] It should be noted that, in the above two examples, the first support plate 202 can be slidably connected to the slideway on the box body 1 by bolts, and the camera can also be slidably connected to the first slide groove 201 on the second support plate 203 by bolts.

[0084] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the first support plate 202 is provided with a wire barrel 2021 that passes through the first support plate 202. The wire barrel 2021 is suitable for passing an electrical wire harness. The provision of the wire barrel 2021 on the first support plate 202 in this embodiment helps workers organize and guide the electrical wire harness within the box 1, maintaining neatness and orderliness of the wiring within the box 1, avoiding confusion and entanglement of the wire harness, and improving installation and maintenance efficiency.

[0085] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, a light source 4 is provided within the housing 1, positioned above a light-transmitting plate. Light from the light source 4 passes through the plate and is projected onto the surface of the concrete mix. This embodiment, by providing the light source 4 within the housing 1 and allowing the light from the light source 4 to pass through the plate, not only provides uniform illumination of the concrete mix surface, but also ensures the uniqueness of the source of the light source 4 during image detection, reducing interference from external light on camera data collection and improving the accuracy of the collected information.

[0086] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the light source 4 is disposed around or below the camera via a light source bracket 5. This embodiment places the light source 4 within the housing 1 via the light source bracket 5, allowing the light source 4 to be stably positioned at a preset position within the housing 1, reducing the risk of displacement of the light source 4 due to vibration or external impact. Furthermore, placing the light source 4 around or below the camera via the light source bracket 5 prevents the camera from obstructing the light from the light source 4, thereby ensuring the camera's image acquisition quality.

[0087] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the box body 1 is further provided with a light source housing 6 arranged outside the light source 4. The light source housing 6 is arranged above the light-transmitting plate through the light source bracket 5. The light source housing 6 is provided with a through hole 601 suitable for the camera to pass through, and the light source 4 is located around the through hole 601. By arranging the light source housing 6 outside the light source 4, this embodiment can provide additional protection for the light source 4, preventing external dust, moisture or other impurities from directly contacting the light source 4, thereby extending the service life of the light source 4 and improving the stability and reliability of the light source 4. Secondly, allowing the camera to pass through the through hole 601 on the light source housing 6 for shooting can not only allow light to be more evenly irradiated on the concrete ingredients, but also prevent the shadow of the camera itself from being cast on the concrete ingredients.

[0088] It should be noted that the light source 4 in this embodiment can be a parallel light source, so that all the light emitted by the light source 4 can be projected onto the surface of the concrete mix, avoiding scattering of the light source 4.

[0089] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a mounting opening, which is covered with a cover 7. This embodiment facilitates installation and removal of related structures within the cavity 101, such as the camera holder 2. Furthermore, the installation of the cover 7 over the mounting opening not only isolates the cavity 101 of the housing 1 from the external environment but also creates a relatively dark environment within the cavity 101, enhancing the camera's information acquisition capabilities.

[0090] It should be noted that the installation port in this embodiment can be set on the side wall of the box body 1 or on the top plate 102 of the box body 1, as long as it can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the camera and other structures in the box body 1. This utility model does not make specific limitations on this.

[0091] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the light-transmitting plate is made of tempered glass and is fixed to the bottom plate 103 of the box body 1 by means of glass clips 8; the camera is an industrial camera. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting plate is set to tempered glass, which can ensure that the light emitted by the light source 4 can be smoothly projected onto the surface of the concrete ingredients through the light-transmitting plate while also ensuring that the tempered glass effectively protects the camera head. Secondly, by fixing the tempered glass to the bottom plate 103 of the box body 1 by means of the glass clips 8, the tempered glass can always be in a preset position, ensuring that the tempered glass can always protect the camera head. In addition, setting the camera as an industrial camera can reduce the cost of purchasing the equipment and improve the convenience of subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0092] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the case 1 is provided with case legs 104 on opposite sides along its length. This embodiment provides a stable support point for the case 1, reducing the possibility of camera shaking during operation; and also disperses the pressure exerted by the case 1 on mounting points, such as the conveyor belt bracket 901, reducing the probability of deformation of the conveyor belt bracket 901.

[0093] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, Figure 7 As shown, a concrete transmission system is provided, comprising: a conveying device 9 and the above-mentioned concrete batching detection device.

[0094] Specifically, the conveying device 9 includes a conveyor belt support 901 and a conveyor belt 902 provided on the conveyor belt support 901 ; the box body 1 in the above-mentioned concrete batching detection device spans above the conveyor belt 902 .

[0095] In this embodiment, by arranging the above-mentioned concrete batching detection device on the conveyor belt support 901 and allowing the box 1 to span above the conveyor belt 902, the camera can monitor the process of transporting concrete batching in real time and provide real raw material information for subsequent concrete production. In this way, a reasonable mix ratio can be calculated, and then concrete additives can be reasonably used, thereby reducing the production cost of concrete and improving the inherent strength and service life of concrete.

[0096] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the housing 1 is mounted on a conveyor belt support 901. Since the distance between the conveyor belt 902 and the ground is relatively long during the actual concrete batching process, installing the housing 1 on the ground would not only increase installation costs but also make it more difficult to adjust the position of the housing 1. For these reasons, this embodiment mounts the housing 1 on the conveyor belt support 901, which not only facilitates adjustment and installation of the concrete batching detection device but also makes the overall structure of the concrete batching detection device more compact.

[0097] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the axis of the camera is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 902. This embodiment allows the axis of the camera to be perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 902, allowing the industrial camera's viewing angle to remain perpendicular to the conveyor belt 902. This prevents an angle between the image coordinate system and the world coordinate system, ensuring the accuracy of image calculations.

[0098] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the camera is positioned facing the middle conveyor area. Due to the influence of gravity, the conveyor belt 902 becomes concave when transporting concrete batching. Therefore, positioning the camera facing the middle conveyor belt 902 allows the camera to collect more comprehensive information.

[0099] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 902, blackout curtains 10 are provided on both sides of the box body 1. The blackout curtains 10 are located above the conveyor belt 902 and partially block the conveyor belt 902. One end of the blackout curtains 10 is connected to the box body 1, and the other end is connected to the conveyor belt support 901. By providing blackout curtains 10 on both sides of the box body 1, this embodiment can place the blocked portion of the conveyor belt 902 and the camera in a dark working environment, reducing interference from the external environment, such as light, on the camera's collected information, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the collected information.

[0100] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations shall fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
