Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of personnel detection technology, and in particular to a personnel detection system for pre-compacted smoke frames. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of digital transformation in standardized tobacco stations, automated (semi-automated) tobacco leaf grading and packaging operations, parallel (cross-operation) human-machine interaction in confined spaces, and high-altitude operations such as tobacco bale (frame) stacking and loading / unloading have placed new and higher demands on overall safety risk management. Especially during the production season, the lack of effective risk management technologies and control measures for tobacco station safety management, particularly regarding the risks of violations during human-machine interaction operations (such as sorting and packaging), has become a constraint on the sustainable and safe development of tobacco stations.
[0003] During the tobacco harvesting season, each standardized tobacco station collects tens of tons of tobacco leaves daily. Since tobacco leaves have a large unit volume, they need to be compacted and stored in tobacco crates for transport. However, the collected tobacco leaves are quite loose, and the volume of leaves needed to fill the crates often exceeds the crate's capacity. To ensure that more tobacco leaves can be packed into the crates and that they fill the crates completely after compaction, pre-compacting of the tobacco leaves in the crates is necessary. However, the operator of the compaction machine and the pre-compacting operator are often different people. In noisy environments, situations may occur where the pre-compacting operator starts the machine before leaving the area, causing safety accidents. Even if the pre-compacting operator notices and jumps off the tobacco crate, there is still a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0045] During the tobacco harvesting season, each standardized tobacco station collects tens of tons of tobacco leaves daily. Since tobacco leaves have a large unit volume, they need to be compacted and stored in tobacco crates for transport. However, the collected tobacco leaves are quite loose, and the volume of leaves needed to fill the crates often exceeds the crate's capacity. To ensure that more tobacco leaves can be packed into the crates and that they fill the crates completely after compaction, pre-compacting of the tobacco leaves in the crates is necessary. However, the operator of the compaction machine and the pre-compacting operator are often different people. In noisy environments, situations may occur where the pre-compacting operator starts the machine before leaving the area, causing safety accidents. Even if the pre-compacting operator notices and jumps off the tobacco crate, there is still a safety hazard.
[0046] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a personnel detection system for pre-compacting tobacco frames. This system uses a human infrared sensing module and a quality detection module to detect tobacco frames on the conveyor rail of a tobacco compactor. By using infrared radiation or quality assessment, it determines whether anyone is inside the tobacco frame, ensuring that no one is present during the compaction process and preventing safety accidents. Furthermore, the system incorporates pyroelectric infrared probes in both longitudinal and transverse directions to ensure detection at all four corners, which, combined with the detection circuitry, improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection.
[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the personnel detection system for pre-compacted smoke frames shown in the embodiments of this application.
[0049] See Figures 1-3 A personnel detection system for pre-compacting cigarette frames, comprising:
[0050] 101 Tobacco leaf compactor, 102 Pyroelectric infrared detector 1, 103 Electronic floor scale, 104 Pyroelectric infrared detector 2, 105 Control cabinet, 106 Guide rail, 107 Tobacco frame, 201 Human body infrared sensing module 1, 202 Human body infrared sensing module 2, 203 Quality detection module, 204 Controller, 205 Hydraulic drive module, 206 Track drive module, 207 Alarm module;
[0051] The human infrared sensing module 1 201, human infrared sensing module 202 and quality detection module 203 are installed on the input terminal of the controller 204. The controller 204 is installed in the control cabinet 105 on the tobacco compactor 101. The control cabinet 105 is fixed to the top of the tobacco compactor 101.
[0052] Specifically, the human infrared sensing module 201 includes a pyroelectric infrared probe 102 and a detection circuit. The pyroelectric infrared probe 102 is installed on the feed beam of the tobacco compactor 101. The detection direction of the pyroelectric infrared probe 102 is downward scanning. The pyroelectric infrared probe 102 is at a 10-15 degree downward angle to the ground, forming a scanning area to minimize the scanning dead angle. The pyroelectric infrared probe 102 is connected to the controller 204 through the detection circuit.
[0053] Specifically, the human infrared sensing module 202 includes a pyroelectric infrared probe 104 and a detection circuit. The pyroelectric infrared probe 104 is horizontally installed on the support column behind the tobacco compactor 101 at a height of 2 meters above the ground. The detection direction of the pyroelectric infrared probe 104 is horizontal scanning. The pyroelectric infrared probe 104 is connected to the controller 204 through the detection circuit.
[0054] Specifically, the detection circuit includes: amplifier circuit one, amplifier circuit two, and comparator circuit; amplifier circuit one includes: capacitor C2, transistor Q1, resistor R1, and resistor R2; the base of transistor Q1 is connected to the pyroelectric infrared probe through capacitor C2, the collector of transistor Q1 is connected to the comparator circuit through resistor R2, resistor R1 connects the base and collector of transistor Q1, and transistor Q1 is grounded.
[0055] The second amplifier circuit includes: amplifier IC1, resistor R3, resistor R4, capacitor C3, capacitor C4, and capacitor C5; the non-inverting input terminal of amplifier IC1 is connected to capacitor C2 after the pyroelectric infrared probe through capacitor C3, and the inverting input terminal of amplifier IC1 is grounded through resistor R3 and capacitor C4 connected in series; the output terminal of amplifier IC1 is connected to the comparator circuit, and resistor R4 and capacitor C5 are connected in parallel on the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of amplifier IC1.
[0056] The comparator circuit includes: comparator IC2, potentiometer Rp, and resistor R5; the V+ input of comparator IC2 is connected to the center pin of potentiometer Rp, and the V- input of comparator IC2 is connected to amplifier circuit two; the top pin of potentiometer Rp is connected to amplifier circuit one, and the bottom pin is grounded; the output of comparator IC2 is connected to the input pin of controller 204, and resistor R5 is connected in parallel to the output of comparator IC2. During circuit debugging, adjust potentiometer Rp to select a suitable reference voltage to achieve optimal sensitivity.
[0057] The pyroelectric infrared detector uses an LN074B probe. When the pyroelectric infrared detector receives the pyroelectric infrared signal emitted by a human body, it converts it internally into a weak low-frequency signal with a frequency of approximately 0.3-3Hz. This signal is then amplified by two stages of amplifier circuits (Amplifier 1 and Amplifier 2) before being input to voltage comparator IC2. The two-stage voltage amplification uses DC amplifiers, where RP is a reference voltage adjustment potentiometer used to adjust the circuit sensitivity, i.e., the detection range. The detection range of the human infrared sensing module 202 should be adjusted to be within the front beam of the tobacco compactor 101. When no one is in the tobacco frame, the reference voltage (V+ voltage of comparator IC2) is higher than the output voltage of amplifier IC1 (V- voltage of comparator IC2), and comparator IC2 outputs a low level. When someone is working in the tobacco frame, the probe outputs a detection voltage, which, after amplification by amplifier circuits 1 and 2, makes the signal output voltage higher than the reference voltage, at which point the comparator circuit outputs a high level.
[0058] Specifically, the quality inspection module 203 includes an electronic weighbridge 103 and a digital-to-analog conversion module. The electronic weighbridge 103 is installed on the guide rail 106 after the tobacco compactor 101 is fed. The electronic weighbridge 103 is connected to the controller 204 through the digital-to-analog conversion module, which is used to convert electrical signals into digital signals.
[0059] Specifically, the alarm module 207 includes an audible and visual alarm system connected to the output of the controller 204, used to issue an alarm indicating that someone is working inside the smoke frame.
[0060] Specifically, the hydraulic drive module 205 and the track drive module 206 are connected to the output of the controller 204 and are used to control the operation of the press head and the conveying track of the tobacco compactor 101, respectively.
[0061] When this application is used, after the tobacco station staff completes the pre-compaction of tobacco leaves in the tobacco frame at the front end of the tobacco compactor 101, the tobacco compactor 101 is started to transport the tobacco frame and tobacco leaves to the press head of the tobacco compactor 101. At the same time, the human infrared sensing module 1 201 and the human infrared sensing module 202 are started. During the transportation process, when either of the two pyroelectric infrared probes detects infrared radiation in the frame, or when the quality detection module 203 detects that the quality is abnormal and exceeds the normal tobacco frame quality by too much, the controller 204 will issue a command to control the hydraulic drive module 205 and the track drive module 206 to stop running, and control the alarm module 207 to issue an alarm to remind the pre-compaction personnel in the frame to leave. If no infrared radiation or quality abnormalities are detected, or if the pre-compaction personnel leave the tobacco frame, the controller 204 issues a command to control the hydraulic drive module 205 and the track drive module 206 to continue operating. After the tobacco frame and tobacco leaves are in place, the controller 204 sends a command to the hydraulic drive module 205 to control the pressure head to press down, thereby compacting the tobacco frame and tobacco leaves. This effectively avoids safety accidents for the pre-compaction personnel and improves the safety management level of the tobacco station.
[0062] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
