Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain detection technology, and in particular to a detection system. Background Technology

[0002] During storage, the quality of grain is affected by various factors, such as temperature, humidity, and storage time. The quality of grain in a grain silo, especially the surface layer, often differs from that of the grain inside. Therefore, it is necessary to use testing equipment to take samples at different depths and locations within the grain silo to obtain more representative samples and monitor the condition of the grain in the silo at all times.

[0003] Typically, staff are scheduled to transport the testing equipment to the grain silo to be tested. The equipment then begins testing the samples inside the silo, and staff must remove the equipment after the testing is complete. However, due to the large size and weight of the testing equipment, it is difficult for staff to move. During transport, bumps and knocks may occur, potentially affecting the internal components and reducing the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0027] In the various embodiments of this application, "near end" and "far end" refer to the distance of each component from the user in the usage environment. The end closer to the user is designated as the "near end", and the end farther from the user is designated as the "far end".

[0028] During storage, the quality of grain is affected by various factors, such as temperature, humidity, and storage time. The quality of grain in a grain silo, especially the surface layer, often differs from that of the grain inside. Therefore, it is necessary to use testing equipment to take samples at different depths and locations within the grain silo to obtain more representative samples and monitor the condition of the grain in the silo at all times.

[0029] Typically, staff are scheduled to transport the testing equipment to the grain silo to be tested. The equipment then begins testing the samples inside the silo, and staff must remove the equipment after the testing is complete. However, due to the large size and weight of the testing equipment, it is difficult for staff to move. During transport, bumps and knocks may occur, potentially affecting the internal components and reducing the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0030] This application provides a detection system 100. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The detection system 100 can be applied to grain storage 200. The detection system 100 can automatically perform detection work according to a predetermined time without manual start-up. During the detection period, the detection system 100 does not require manual operation or handling, and can automatically complete operations such as charging, detection, and sample retention.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 The detection system 100 may include a detection device 110 and a transfer device 120, the transfer device 120 being used to transfer the detection device 110 between the charging station 300 and one or more grain silos 200.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 as well as Figure 3The detection device 110 is used for selective entry into or exit from the grain silo 200, and the detection device 110 takes and tests samples within the grain silo 200. For example, please refer to... Figure 4 The detection device 110 may include a sampling mechanism 111, a detection mechanism 112, and a driving mechanism 113. The sampling mechanism 111 and the detection mechanism 112 are interconnected. The sampling mechanism 111 is used to extract samples from the depth or surface of the grain silo 200 and transfer them to the detection mechanism 112. For example, the sampling mechanism 111 may include a sampling tube and a vacuum pump. The sampling tube may be inserted into the grain silo 200 in the form of a single tube or multiple tubes spliced ​​together, and the sample is extracted by the suction action of the vacuum pump. The sample is pumped to the detection mechanism 112, which may be a spectrometer. The spectrometer can measure multiple components in the sample, such as moisture, protein, oil, starch, and fiber. Subsequently, based on multiple test results of the sample at different times, the changes in the storage state of the grain are determined.

[0033] Exemplarily, the drive mechanism 113 may include a motor and rollers. For example, the sampling mechanism 111 and the detection mechanism 112 may be integrated into a single detection vehicle, with the motor mounted inside the vehicle and rollers located at the bottom. The motor drives the rollers to move the detection vehicle. The drive mechanism 113 is used to drive the detection mechanism 112 and the sampling mechanism 111 to move, enabling the detection device 110 to enter or leave the grain silo 200 and to move within the grain silo 200 to detect grain in more locations within the grain silo 200.

[0034] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The transfer device 120 may include a lifting mechanism 121, a transfer mechanism 122, and a placement compartment 123, with the lifting mechanism 121 connected between the placement compartment 123 and the transfer mechanism 122.

[0035] The placement compartment 123 is used to accommodate the testing device 110. The testing device 110 is housed within the placement compartment 123, which also provides transport space for the testing device 110, ensuring its stable transport. Specifically, the placement compartment 123 includes a compartment body 1231 and a compartment door 1232. The compartment body 1231 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the testing device 110 and provides a certain level of protection. The compartment door 1232 connects to the compartment body 1231 and is used to selectively close or open the receiving cavity. The compartment door 1232 isolates the inside and outside of the receiving cavity, preventing the testing device 110 from falling during transport and improving the transport safety of the transfer device 120.

[0036] Please continue reading. Figure 5The lifting mechanism 121 is used to drive the placement bin 123 to move vertically relative to the transfer mechanism 122. For example, the lifting mechanism 121 can be hydraulically, pneumatically, or electrically driven to ensure that the placement bin 123 can be raised and lowered smoothly and accurately. The lifting mechanism 121 can adapt to the height differences between the doors of different grain bins 200, and the precise position control required when the detection device 110 moves between the charging station 300 and the grain bins 200.

[0037] Please continue reading. Figure 5 The transfer mechanism 122 drives the placement bin 123 to move, allowing the detection device 110 to move between the charging station 300 and one or more grain silos 200. Exemplarily, the transfer mechanism 122 is configured as an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic guidance devices such as cameras, radar, and locators. This allows the AGV to travel along a predetermined guidance path and provides safety protection and various transfer functions. This arrangement enables the transfer mechanism 122 to transport the detection device 110 between the charging station 300 and one or more grain silos 200, allowing the detection device 110 to detect one or more grain silos 200 and then transport it to the charging station 300 for charging.

[0038] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 6 The detection system 100 may further include one or more lifting platforms 130. The number of lifting platforms 130 can correspond to the number of grain silos 200; in other words, each grain silo 200 is equipped with at least one lifting platform 130. The lifting platform 130 is installed inside the grain silo 200 and drives the detection device 110 to move vertically, thereby eliminating the height difference between the door of the grain silo 200 and the plane where the sample is located. For example, if the plane where the sample is located is lower than the height of the door of the grain silo 200, when the detection device 110 enters the grain silo 200, the lifting platform 130 drives the detection device 110 to move vertically downwards until the detection device 110 can move smoothly on the sample surface. When the detection device 110 leaves the grain silo 200, the lifting platform 130 drives the detection device 110 to move vertically upwards until the detection device 110 can move smoothly to the door of the grain silo 200. This arrangement facilitates the entry and exit of the detection device 110 from the grain silo 200 and increases the range of motion of the detection device 110.

[0039] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7The lifting platform 130 may have a lifting space 131. The lifting platform 130 is equipped with a power supply module 132, which may include components such as a battery pack, a power converter, and a plug. The power supply module 132 not only provides power for the normal operation of the lifting platform 130 but also supplies power to other devices or apparatuses that require electricity, such as the detection device 110. The plug can be adapted to the socket of the detection device 110. At least a portion of the power supply module 132 is located within the lifting space 131. When the detection device 110 moves into the lifting space 131, the power supply module 132 supplies power to the detection device 110. For example, when the detection device 110 is detecting samples in the grain silo 200 and its battery is low, there is no need to transport the detection device 110 back to the charging station 300. The charging operation of the detection device 110 can be completed by the power supply module 132 on the lifting platform 130, avoiding repeated handling of the detection device 110 and improving its detection efficiency.

[0040] Please continue reading. Figure 7 The lifting platform 130 may include a base frame 133, a transmission component 134, a drive motor 135, and a lifting seat 136. The lifting seat 136 and the drive motor 135 are mounted on the base frame 133, and the lifting seat 136 and the base frame 133 slide in a vertical direction. The transmission component 134 is connected between the drive motor 135 and the lifting seat 136.

[0041] Understandably, sensors are installed on the gate of the grain silo 200 and / or the lifting platform 130 to detect the position information of the device 110. For example, a detection sensor is installed at the gate of the grain silo 200. When the detection device 110 moves to the gate and is detected by the sensor, the gate controller receives the detection signal from the sensor and controls the gate to open or close. And / or, a detection sensor is also installed on the lifting platform 130. When the detection device 110 moves to the lifting platform 130 and is detected by the sensor on the lifting platform 130, the lifting platform 130 controller receives the signal and controls the lifting seat 136 to automatically rise and fall to a specified height so that the detection device 110 can pass through quickly.

[0042] Of course, the detection device 110 of this application can also be connected to the gate controller and the lifting platform 130 via signal connection. That is, the detection device 110 has a signal generating device for emitting position signals. The controller and the lifting platform 130 have signal receiving devices for receiving position signals emitted by the signal generating device. The gate controller and the lifting platform 130 controller can control the gate and the lifting seat 136 according to the position signals.

[0043] Specifically, the base frame 133 may include a first support arm 137 and a second support arm 138, which extend vertically. The vertically extending first support arm 137 and second support arm 138 can provide a lifting range for the lifting seat 136. The lifting range of the lifting seat 136 can be greater than or equal to the height difference between the door of the grain silo 200 and the plane where the sample is located, so that the detection device 110 can more easily enter the grain silo 200.

[0044] Please refer to the previous document. Figure 6 A lifting space 131 is formed between the first support arm 137 and the second support arm 138, and a lifting seat 136 is slidably connected between the first support arm 137 and the second support arm 138. The weight of the lifting seat 136 can be evenly distributed to the first support arm 137 and the second support arm 138, and the first support arm 137 and the second support arm 138 are clamped on both sides of the lifting space 131, which improves the lifting effect of the lifting platform 130.

[0045] In addition, the base frame 133 may be equipped with slide rails or guide devices to guide the lifting seat 136 to slide smoothly in the vertical direction. The slide rails or guide devices not only ensure the accurate movement of the lifting seat 136, but also improve the overall stability and safety of the equipment, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0046] Please refer to the previous document. Figure 7 The transmission component 134 is connected between the drive motor 135 and the lifting platform 136. The transmission component 134 includes, but is not limited to, chains and belts, which will not be described in detail here. The following description uses a chain as an example. The output shaft of the drive motor 135 may be equipped with drive teeth. One end of the chain is connected to the lifting platform 136, and the other end meshes with the drive teeth. The drive motor 135 rotates the drive teeth clockwise or counterclockwise, causing the drive teeth to drive the chain, thereby raising or lowering the lifting platform 136 relative to the base frame 133.

[0047] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 The drive motor 135 is used to drive the lifting seat 136 to move relative to the base frame 133. The drive motor 135 can be a stepper motor, servo motor, etc., and there is no limitation on the type or parameters of the drive motor 135. The drive motor 135 is mounted on at least one of the first support arm 137 and the second support arm 138, and the drive motor 135 can drive the lifting seat 136. For example, the drive motor 135 drives the transmission component 134 to move to a preset range according to a preset program to control the lifting seat 136 to rise and fall to a specified height.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 6As shown, the transmission component 134 can be a chain, and the output shaft of the drive motor 135 is equipped with drive teeth. The parameters of the drive teeth can be adjusted according to the lifting range of the drive motor 135 and the lifting seat 136, such as the number of teeth, so that the transmission ratio between the drive motor 135 and the lifting seat 136 is greater than 1, thereby achieving a speed reduction function and improving the stability of the lifting seat 136. Alternatively, the transmission component 134 can be a belt, and the output shaft of the drive motor 135 is equipped with a drive pulley, which can also achieve a speed reduction function, but this will not be elaborated here.

[0049] The detection device 110 and the transfer device 120 are connected by a signal, and the signal connection method includes, but is not limited to, wireless transmission and wired transmission. For example, the detection device 110 has a signal transmitter and a signal receiver. The signal transmitter is used to transmit the working status of the detection device 110, and the signal receiver receives the signal emitted by the signal transmitter. The controller of the transfer device 120 receives the signal and controls the lifting mechanism 121 and the transfer mechanism 122 according to the signal.

[0050] Please see Figure 2 The detection device 110 is transferred to the grain silo 200 via the transfer device 120 and the lifting platform 130. The grain silo 200 contains the material to be tested. The detection device 110 starts working and tests the material in the grain silo 200. At the same time, the transfer device 120 and the lifting platform 130 are in standby mode. When the detection device 110 completes the test, it sends a completion signal to the transfer device 120 and the lifting platform 130 and moves towards the lifting platform 130. After receiving the signal, the transfer device 120 drives the placement bin 123 to move horizontally to the designated grain silo 200. The lifting mechanism 121 starts working and drives the placement bin 123 to move vertically to the door of the grain silo 200. The detection device 110 enters the placement bin 123 via the lifting platform 130 and its own movement. By weighing the specific testing tasks and the battery power of the testing device 110, the transfer device 120 can move the testing device 110 to the charging station 300 for charging, or transfer it to the door of the remaining grain silos 200 for testing in the next grain silo 200. It can be seen that the testing and charging operations of the testing device 110 can be performed according to a preset program, eliminating the need for real-time on-site supervision and operation. This greatly improves the automation level of the testing system 100, avoids manual handling and operation, and increases the testing efficiency of the testing device 110.

[0051] In this embodiment, the number of detection devices 110 can be multiple, such as 2, 3, 4, etc., and the specific number of detection devices 110 is not limited here. Multiple detection devices 110 can simultaneously detect multiple grain silos 200, improving the detection efficiency of the detection system 100. The transfer device 120 is used to move one or more detection devices 110 between multiple grain silos 200 or between grain silos 200 and charging station 300. The number of transfer devices 120 is at least one. The number of transfer devices 120 is selected by balancing the detection time of the detection devices 110 and the transportation time of the transfer devices 120, so as to avoid the transfer devices 120 from being idle.

[0052] The technical solution adopted by this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects: the transfer device 120 can transport the detection device 110 to the designated grain warehouse 200. The detection device 110 can move inside and outside the grain warehouse 200, and can also enter the grain warehouse 200 to take samples and conduct tests. The detection system 100 can automatically perform detection work according to a predetermined time without manual start-up. During this period, no manual operation is required; the transfer device 120 and the detection device 110 can move independently, reducing manual operation and handling, and improving the detection efficiency of the detection device 110.

[0053] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0054] Furthermore, it should be noted that the scope of the methods and apparatus in the embodiments of this application is not limited to performing functions in the order shown or discussed, but may also include performing functions substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order, depending on the functions involved. For example, the described methods may be performed in a different order than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined.
