[0037] In order for those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs to more clearly understand the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below by means of specific embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings.
[0038] The track unattended system provided by the present application is arranged in a steel plant, as shown in the figure, at least two workshops of the steel plant are arranged on both sides of the road 11, and when the road allows vehicles to travel, it is relatively inconvenient to transport goods between different workshops. Figure 1
[0039] For example, the steel plant includes a first workshop 12 and a second workshop 13, when the first workshop 12 is a steelmaking workshop and the second workshop 13 is a ladle repair workshop, when there is goods to be transported from the steelmaking workshop to the ladle repair workshop, the most common goods can be a ladle. Because the weight and temperature of the ladle are relatively high, it is difficult for a conventional vehicle to transport the ladle.
[0040] In order to realize the transportation of the ladle, a track 14 is arranged between the first workshop and the second workshop, and a track trolley 15 can be arranged on the track. The track trolley realizes reciprocation between the first workshop 12 and the second workshop 13 by running on the track, and can transport the ladle from the steelmaking workshop to the ladle repair workshop. However, since the first workshop 12 and the second workshop 13 are separated by a road, the track is laid across the road. In order to ensure the safety of driving, the vehicles on the road should be stopped when the track trolley crosses the road along the track. Therefore, the traffic on the road needs to be controlled, and manual control consumes a long time and has a certain risk.
[0041] Therefore, on the basis of Figure 2 , the present application provides a track unattended system, as shown in Figure 3 , comprising:
[0042] at least one barrier 21, the at least one barrier 21 is arranged on at least one side of the track along the width direction of the road;
[0043] a first alarm device 211, the first alarm device 211 is arranged on the at least one barrier 21;
[0044] a first controller 22, the first controller 22 is connected with the barrier and the first alarm device 211, and is used for controlling the at least one barrier 21 to fall down and controlling the first alarm device 211 to alarm when the track trolley runs along the track, so as to block the vehicles on the road from passing through the track.
[0045] In order to realize the traffic control of the road, the track unattended system is provided with the barrier, and the working state of the barrier can be divided into falling down and lifting up. When the barrier falls down, the barrier can be used to intercept the vehicles running along the road from passing through the track. Meanwhile, the first alarm device is also arranged on the barrier, and the first alarm device can emit an alarm signal when started, so as to warn the vehicles on the road not to pass through the track at this time.
[0046] The track unattended system is provided with the first controller, and the first controller is connected with the barrier and the first alarm device. When the track trolley runs along the track between the first workshop and the second workshop, the first controller controls the at least one barrier to fall down and controls the first alarm device to alarm, so as to block the vehicles on the road from passing through the track.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first controller can also be used to control the track trolley. When the first controller controls the track trolley to start, a start signal is sent to the track trolley. The start signal can not only control the track trolley to start, but also control the barrier and the first alarm device to start, the barrier to fall down, and the first alarm device to alarm, so as to block the vehicles on the road from passing through the track.
[0048] The technical scheme provided in the application can directly drop at least one barrier machine controlled by the first controller in the track unattended system and control the first alarm device to alarm when the track vehicle drives along the track between the first workshop and the second workshop, so that the control of the barrier machine and the first alarm device can be remotely realized, the vehicle on the road is blocked, manual traffic control by the staff is not needed, and the danger is reduced.
[0049] In some embodiments, when the number of barrier machines is multiple, the at least one barrier machine includes a first barrier machine and a second barrier machine, and the first barrier machine and the second barrier machine are arranged on opposite sides of the track along the width direction of the road.

In this embodiment, the number of barrier machines can be 2 or 4. When the barrier machine includes a first barrier machine and a second barrier machine, the corresponding number of barrier machines corresponding to the first barrier machine and the second barrier machine can be 1 or 2 respectively. As shown in Figure 2 , on the basis of Figure 2 , the track unattended system includes a first barrier machine 31 and a second barrier machine 32, and a first alarm device 311 on the first barrier machine 31 and a first alarm device 321 on the second barrier machine 32.
