Detailed Implementation
[0023] This utility model embodiment provides a bridge navigation monitoring and collision avoidance device, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the system includes a crash barrier connecting strip 101, a crossbeam connecting strip 104, and a distance monitoring device 105. The crash barrier connecting strip 101 is long and U-shaped for easy insertion into the edge of the bridge. The crash barrier connecting strip 101 has several through-holes 106 with openings, arranged in an array to assist in fixing the structure. The crash barrier connecting strip 101 also has an outward-facing mounting slot 103 containing several arrayed stress-sensing plates 114. Signal transmission lines 118 connect the stress-sensing plates 114 for signal output. Several crossbeam connecting strips 104 are fixed to the bottom of the crash barrier connecting strip 101, arranged in an array. Fixing screws 119 are provided at the connection points between the crossbeam connecting strips 104 and the crash barrier connecting strip 101, providing stable installation. The distance monitoring device 105 is fixed to the front end of the crossbeam connecting strip 104 and is spherical in shape.
[0024] It should be noted that the front end of the anti-collision connecting strip 101 is made of anti-collision material.
[0025] It should be further explained that the core components of the distance monitoring device 105 include an infrared transmitter, an infrared receiver, and a signal processing unit. The infrared transmitter is responsible for transmitting infrared signals into the bridge navigation area. These signals are reflected back when they encounter ships or other obstacles and are received by the infrared receiver. The signal processing unit is responsible for processing the received reflected signals and accurately measuring the distance between the device and the obstacle by calculating the round-trip time or phase difference of the signal.
[0026] Furthermore, the anti-collision connecting strip 101 is fixedly provided with support bases 107 on both sides of the top end, and the support base 107 is fixedly provided with a support rod 112, and the support rod 112 is fixedly provided with an electrical box 111.
[0027] It should be further explained that the power box 111 is equipped with power components for supplying power to other electrical components.
[0028] Furthermore, a signal base 109 is installed on the top of the power box 111. The top of the signal base 109 is disc-shaped, and a signal generator 113 is installed on the top of the signal base 109. The signal generator 113 serves as a signal connection and transmission device.
[0029] It should be further explained that the signal generator 113 is a gateway module with SMS sending and receiving functions that forms a WSN network through Zigbee technology.
[0030] Furthermore, a curved and outwardly extending connecting rod 108 is installed on the side of the signal base 109, and an adjustment base 117 is installed at the front end of the connecting rod 108. A monitoring camera 110 that can change direction is provided at the top of the adjustment base 117.
[0031] It should be further explained that the surveillance camera 110 is used to record the waterway conditions on site and transmit the data in real time.
[0032] Furthermore, a signal receiver 102 is fixedly provided on the side of the anti-collision connecting strip 101, and the signal receiver 102 is connected to the signal transmission line 118.
[0033] It should be further explained that after the anti-collision connecting strip 101 is installed with the bridge, the stress sensing plate 114 is attached to the side of the bridge. When the bridge is subjected to impact and shakes or deforms, the stress on the stress sensing plate 114 changes, and the change information can be input through the signal transmission line 118. At the same time, based on the stress sensing plate 114 that generates stress change, it is also possible to reversely determine which position of the bridge has experienced a stress change.
[0034] Furthermore, the front end of the anti-collision connecting strip 101 is provided with several outward-facing display slots 115, and an information board 116 is fixedly installed inside the display slots 115.
[0035] It should be further explained that the information board 116 is used to display signs indicating whether ships can pass safely. It uses a high-brightness, high-contrast LED display screen. These signs are dynamically adjusted based on the distance data measured by the red distance monitoring device 105 and the current stress state of the bridge.
[0036] When the distance monitoring device 105 detects that a vessel is approaching the bridge and the distance is less than the preset safety threshold, or when the bridge is deformed due to abnormal impact force, the information board 116 will display corresponding warning information, such as "Vessel approaching, please proceed with caution" or "Abnormal stress on the bridge, please slow down". This information is presented in eye-catching colors and text to ensure that the vessel driver can quickly notice it and take appropriate measures.
[0037] When using this solution, first install the anti-collision connecting strip 101 to the side of the bridge, and use screws to ensure that it fits tightly and securely against the edge of the bridge through the auxiliary fixing structure of the mounting connection hole 106.
[0038] After installation, the power components in the power box 111 will provide a continuous and stable power supply to the entire device, ensuring the normal operation of all power-consuming components such as infrared ranging devices, LED displays, gateway modules, etc.
[0039] Subsequently, the WSN network built through signal generator 113 and Zigbee technology will enable real-time data communication between the device and the remote monitoring center, thereby enabling the remote monitoring center to obtain the bridge's navigation status and stress conditions in real time. In case of emergency, it can also quickly send alarm information to relevant personnel through SMS service.
[0040] Meanwhile, the surveillance camera 110 will record the on-site waterway conditions and transmit them in real time to ensure that any changes on the waterway can be captured and that this information can be promptly transmitted to the monitoring center or the ship's driver.
[0041] When the distance monitoring device 105 detects that a vessel is approaching the bridge and the distance is less than the preset safety threshold, or when the bridge is deformed due to abnormal impact force, the information board 116 will display corresponding warning information, such as "Vessel approaching, please proceed with caution" or "Abnormal stress on the bridge, please slow down". This information is presented in eye-catching colors and text to ensure that the vessel driver can quickly notice it and take appropriate measures.
[0042] After the anti-collision connecting strip 101 is installed on the bridge, the stress sensing plate 114 is attached to the side of the bridge. When the bridge is subjected to impact force and shakes or deforms, the stress on the stress sensing plate 114 changes, and the change information can be input through the signal transmission line 118. At the same time, based on the stress sensing plate 114 that generates stress change, it is also possible to reversely determine which position of the bridge has experienced a stress change.
[0043] In addition, the information board 116 can also be combined with the gateway module signal generator 113 with SMS sending and receiving function to realize remote monitoring and alarm functions. When the bridge condition is abnormal or there is a safety hazard to the passage of ships, the gateway module signal generator 113 will not only transmit information to the bridge management department through the WSN network, but also send alarm information to the preset mobile phone number through SMS service to achieve multiple protections.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
