Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation operation technology, and in particular to a signal wall. Background Technology

[0002] In empty container transport operations, it is usually necessary to first drive the trolley into and park it in the parking area, then use a forklift to transport the empty container and place it on the trolley parked in the parking area, and then drive the trolley out of the parking area to transport the empty container away. Since trolleys are constantly entering and leaving the parking area, if the forklift is still operating in the parking area while the trolley is entering or leaving, there is a risk of collision between the forklift and the trolley, which is unsafe. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a signal wall that aims to solve the technical problem of low safety due to the risk of collision between forklifts and trolleys during empty container transportation operations.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a signal wall, which includes:

[0005] The wall body extends longitudinally, and a parking area for parking trolleys is formed on one side of the wall body along the transverse direction. Multiple monitoring positions are provided on the side of the wall body facing the parking area, and the multiple monitoring positions are spaced apart longitudinally.

[0006] The monitoring component includes a control module, an alarm module, and multiple monitoring modules. The multiple monitoring modules are arranged vertically at intervals. The monitoring modules are used to monitor the trolleys in the parking area. The alarm module includes a light pole installed on the top of the wall body and multiple signal lights of different colors installed on the light pole. The monitoring module and the multiple signal lights are electrically connected to the control module.

[0007] In one embodiment, the lamp post is detachably mounted on top of the wall body.

[0008] In one embodiment, the warning module further includes a protective panel installed on the top of the wall body. The protective panel forms an arc-shaped groove extending vertically, with the opening of the arc-shaped groove facing the parking area, and the lamp post located within the arc-shaped groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the wall body includes a plurality of wall columns spaced apart along the longitudinal direction, and a wall panel is connected between any two wall columns.

[0010] In one embodiment, the wall panel includes multiple vertical ribs extending vertically and multiple longitudinal ribs extending horizontally. The multiple vertical ribs are spaced apart longitudinally, and the multiple longitudinal ribs are spaced apart vertically. Each of the vertical ribs is connected to the multiple longitudinal ribs to form a grid structure.

[0011] In one embodiment, the monitoring module includes a laser sensor, which is installed on the wall panel in its corresponding monitoring position and is located on the side of the wall panel facing the parking area. The laser sensor is electrically connected to the control module.

[0012] In one embodiment, the laser sensor is mounted to the wall panel via a mounting bracket.

[0013] In one embodiment, protective structures are provided at intervals on the top of each laser sensor, and each protective structure and its corresponding laser sensor are mounted on the same wall panel.

[0014] In one embodiment, the control module includes a programmable logic controller, a stop button, and a reset button, and the monitoring module and the plurality of indicator lights are all electrically connected to the programmable logic controller.

[0015] In one embodiment, the control module further includes a stop button and a reset button, both of which are electrically connected to the programmable logic controller.

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting up a signal wall on one side of the parking area. The signal wall extends in the front-to-back direction and provides guidance for trolleys traveling in the front-to-back direction within the parking area. Multiple monitoring positions are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction on the signal wall. Each monitoring position has multiple monitoring modules spaced apart along the vertical direction, and each monitoring position also has a light pole installed on top of the wall body. Multiple signal lights are spaced apart along the vertical direction on the light pole. When a trolley enters and parks in the parking area, the monitoring modules on the wall body can detect whether the trolley is parked within the designated parking area. If the monitoring module detects that the trolley is parked in the parking area, the control module will control one of the multiple signal lights to illuminate, indicating that passage is permitted. When the driver of the forklift outside the parking area observes this color signal light, for example, when the green signal light is on, they can transport the empty container and place it on the trolley parked in the parking area. If the monitoring module does not detect that the trolley is parked in the parking area, the control module will control another color signal light to illuminate, indicating that passage is prohibited. When the driver of the forklift outside the parking area observes this color signal light, for example, when the red signal light is on, the driver must drive the forklift outside the parking area and must not continue to drive the forklift into the parking area. This avoids the forklift remaining in the parking area when the trolley is entering or leaving the parking area, thus preventing collisions between the forklift and the trolley and ensuring high safety.

[0026] This utility model proposes a signal wall 100.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, the signal wall 100 includes a wall body 20 and a monitoring component 10. The wall body 20 extends longitudinally, and a parking area 200 for trolleys is formed on one side of the wall body 20 along the lateral direction. Multiple monitoring positions 201 are provided on the side of the wall body 20 facing the parking area 200, and the multiple monitoring positions 201 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction. Each monitoring position 201 is provided with a monitoring component 10. The monitoring component 10 includes a control module 11, a warning module 12, and multiple monitoring modules 13. The multiple monitoring modules 13 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. The monitoring modules 13 are used to monitor the trolleys in the parking area 200. The warning module 12 includes a light post 121 set on the top of the wall body 20 and multiple signal lights 122 of different colors set on the light post 121. The monitoring modules 13 and the multiple signal lights 122 are all electrically connected to the control module 11.

[0028] Vertical Figure 1 The vertical direction is, and the horizontal direction is Figure 1 The front-back direction is shown in the diagram, and the vertical direction is shown as the left-right direction.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting up a signal wall 100 on one side of the parking area 200. The signal wall 100 extends in the front-to-back direction and provides guidance for trolleys traveling in the front-to-back direction within the parking area 200. Multiple monitoring positions 201 are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction on the signal wall 100. Multiple monitoring modules 13 are spaced apart along the vertical direction on each monitoring position 201. Each monitoring position 201 also has a light post 121 installed on the top of the wall body 20. Multiple signal lights 122 are also spaced apart along the vertical direction on the light post 121. When a trolley enters and parks in the parking area 200, the monitoring modules 13 on the wall body 20 can monitor whether the trolley is parked within the parking area 200. If the monitoring module 13 detects that the trolley is parked in the parking area 200, the control module 11 will control one of the multiple signal lights 122 to light up, indicating that passage is permitted. When the driver of the forklift located outside the parking area 200 observes the signal light 122 of that color (e.g., green signal light 122), they can transport the empty container and place it on the trolley parked in the parking area 200. If the monitoring module 13 does not detect that the trolley is parked in the parking area 200, the control module 11 will control the multiple signal lights 122. When the other color signal light 122 in 22 is lit, it indicates that passage is prohibited. When the driver of the forklift located outside the parking area 200 observes the color signal light 122, for example, when the red signal light 122 is lit, the driver must drive the forklift outside the parking area 200 and must not continue to drive the forklift into the parking area 200. This can prevent the forklift from still being in the parking area 200 when the trolley is entering or leaving the parking area 200, thereby avoiding collisions between the forklift and the trolley and ensuring high safety.

[0030] It should be noted that the interaction between the monitoring module 13 and the multiple traffic lights 122 and the control module 11 all adopt existing technologies.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lamp post 121 is detachably installed on the top of the wall body 20. Specifically, since the lamp post 121 is detachably installed on the top of the wall body 20, if the signal light 122 on the lamp post 121 is damaged, the lamp post 121 can be removed to replace the damaged signal light 122, making maintenance convenient.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the warning module 12 further includes a protective panel 123, which is installed on the top of the wall body 20. The protective panel 123 encloses and forms an arc-shaped groove 124 extending vertically. The opening of the arc-shaped groove 124 faces the parking area 200, and the lamp post 121 is located in the arc-shaped groove 124.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, a protective plate 123 is provided around the outside of each lamp post 121, forming an arc-shaped groove 124. The lamp post 121 is housed within the arc-shaped groove 124. The protective plate 123 provides protection for the lamp post 121 and the signal light 122 on it. Furthermore, the arc-shaped groove 124 is arc-shaped with its opening facing the parking area 200. The groove wall of the arc-shaped groove 124 can reflect the light of the signal light 122 back to the parking area 200, making it easier for the forklift driver to see.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wall body 20 includes a plurality of wall columns 21 arranged longitudinally at intervals, and a wall panel 22 is connected between any two wall columns 21.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the signal wall 100 includes a plurality of wall columns 21 spaced apart along the front-back direction. The plurality of wall columns 21 can provide support for the wall body 20, thereby improving the structural strength and reliability of the wall body 20.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wall panel 22 consists of multiple vertical ribs 221 extending vertically and multiple longitudinal ribs 222 extending horizontally. The multiple vertical ribs 221 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction, and the multiple longitudinal ribs 222 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. Each vertical rib 221 is connected to the multiple longitudinal ribs 222 to form a grid structure.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the wall panel 22 includes multiple vertical ribs 221 extending in the vertical direction and multiple longitudinal ribs 222 extending in the front-back direction. The multiple vertical ribs 221 are spaced apart in the front-back direction, and the multiple longitudinal ribs 222 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The multiple vertical ribs 221 and multiple longitudinal ribs 222 are connected to form a grid structure. The wall panel 22 has a grid structure, which is lightweight and has good structural strength, so that the wall body 20 formed by it has a lightweight and good structural strength.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the monitoring module 13 includes a laser sensor 131, which is installed on the wall panel 22 in its corresponding monitoring position 201 and is located on the side of the wall panel 22 facing the parking area 200. The laser sensor 131 is electrically connected to the control module 11.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring module 13 includes a laser sensor 131, which senses the trolleys in the parking area 200. It has good accuracy and high reliability.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the laser sensor 131 is mounted on the wall panel 22 via a mounting base, as shown in the figure. The wall panel 22 is provided with a mounting base, and the laser sensor 131 is mounted on the wall panel 22 via the mounting base. The laser sensor 131 is mounted more securely and more conveniently.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, each laser sensor 131 is provided with a protective structure 132 at intervals on its top, and each protective structure 132 and its corresponding laser sensor 131 are all mounted on the same wall panel 22.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a protective structure 132 is provided on the top of each laser sensor 131. The protective structure 132 can prevent the trolley or forklift from colliding with the laser sensor 131 during the operation of the trolley or forklift, and can provide protection for the laser sensor 131.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control module 11 includes a programmable logic controller, a stop button and a reset button, and the monitoring module 13 and multiple indicator lights 122 are all electrically connected to the programmable logic controller.

[0044] Specifically, by electrically connecting the programmable logic controller (PLC) to the monitoring module 13 and the multiple indicator lights 122, the monitoring module 13 and the multiple indicator lights 122 can be controlled by the programmable logic controller (PLC). Furthermore, due to the programmability of the programmable logic controller (PLC), users can write control programs according to actual needs, resulting in greater flexibility.

[0045] It should be noted that the interaction between the monitoring module 13 and the multiple indicator lights 122 and the programmable logic controller (PLC) adopts existing technology.

[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, the control module 11 further includes a stop button and a reset button, both of which are electrically connected to the programmable logic controller.

[0047] Specifically, the stop button can stop the programmable logic controller (PLC) from controlling the sensors and multiple indicator lights 122, and the reset button can reset the PLC's control program, providing greater flexibility.

[0048] It should be noted that the interaction between the stop button and the reset button and the programmable logic controller (PLC) uses existing technology.
