[0002] LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that measures distance and acquires three-dimensional information of target objects by emitting laser beams. It calculates distance by utilizing the time it takes for a laser pulse to return after interacting with a target object, and constructs a three-dimensional model of the target object's surface through scanning with multiple laser beams. A LiDAR-based material silo monitoring device is an intelligent system used for real-time monitoring and management of stored materials. It uses LiDAR technology to acquire information such as the location, shape, and quantity of materials, helping warehouse managers optimize warehousing processes, improve work efficiency, and ensure the safety and accuracy of materials.
[0003] Most existing lidar-based material silo monitoring devices do not have a lens cleaning structure. Material silos generally contain a lot of dust, which easily adheres to the lidar monitor lens, significantly affecting the scanning clarity during monitoring and impacting the safety and accuracy of material monitoring.
