Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of landscape elevator security, specifically to the security system of a landscape elevator attached to the main tower of a suspension bridge. Background Art
[0002] The main tower of a suspension bridge is built outdoors and is usually over a hundred meters high. When a safety accident occurs in the landscape elevator built on the main tower of the suspension bridge, it is not convenient for rescue, and the landscape elevator has high safety requirements during construction. Among them, elevator overload is a relatively common and dangerous situation. Overload may cause elevator failures, stop running, or even accidents. For example, when there are too many tourists, they need to queue up to enter the elevator, and it is easy to appear crowded. The opening and closing of the existing landscape elevator are controlled by scenic area staff. The scenic area staff usually need to control the number of people taking the elevator each time to prevent elevator overload. However, the scenic area staff cannot accurately judge the weight of each person and can only limit the number of people by experience or judge whether there is overload through the overload prompt in the elevator. For example, when the elevator issues an overload prompt, some people need to come out of the elevator and wait. The elevator operation efficiency is low and it affects the tourism experience. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a security system for a landscape elevator attached to the main tower of a suspension bridge, which solves the problem that the scenic area staff cannot accurately judge the weight of the passengers, resulting in elevator overload and thus reducing the elevator operation efficiency.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a security system for a landscape elevator attached to the main tower of a suspension bridge, including a waiting passage, a ticket checking gate, a camera, and a weighing platform. The waiting passage is set at the elevator door. There is a camera above the waiting passage. The camera is connected to an image recognition module for identifying the number of people in the waiting passage. The ticket checking gate is installed at the entrance of the waiting passage for verifying ticket information. The ticket checking gate is connected to a controller. The controller controls the opening or closing of the ticket checking gate. There is a weighing platform at the entrance of the ticket checking gate for measuring the weight of the ticket checker. There is a mass sensor under the weighing platform for collecting the weight measured by the weighing platform. The mass sensor is connected to a calculation module. The calculation module records and accumulates the weight collected by the mass sensor. Both the calculation module and the image recognition module are connected to the controller. The controller controls the opening or closing of the ticket checking gate according to the weight collected by the mass sensor and the number of people identified by the image recognition module.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: Compared with the existing technology, the security system of this utility model sets up a ticket gate at the entrance of the waiting channel, sets up a camera above the waiting channel to collect the number of people in the waiting channel and transmits the data to the controller through an image recognition module, sets up a weighing platform at the entrance of the ticket gate to measure the weight of elevator passengers and transmits the data to the controller through a calculation module, and controls the opening or closing of the ticket gate based on the number of people and their weight, so as to accurately control the number and weight of people entering the elevator and effectively prevent elevator overloading.
[0006] Furthermore, the ticket gate is equipped with a gate in the middle and an infrared sensor at the exit. When an elevator passenger is detected by the infrared sensor after passing through the ticket gate, the gate is closed.
[0007] Furthermore, guardrails are installed on both sides of the waiting channel to prevent people who have not passed through the ticket gates from entering the waiting channel.
[0008] Furthermore, the ticket gate is connected to the scenic area's ticketing system, and can verify ticket information accurately by means of facial recognition, swiping ID cards, or scanning tickets.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the weighing platform is flush with the ground, which can prevent elevator passengers from tripping when checking tickets.
[0010] Furthermore, the camera is installed above the middle of the waiting channel, and its capture range is limited to the waiting channel area to avoid capturing images outside the ticket gate, which would cause the image recognition module to identify people outside the gate.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Implementation, for example, attached Figures 1 to 2The security system for the scenic elevator attached to the main tower of the suspension bridge includes a waiting channel, a ticket gate 3, a camera 2, and a weighing platform 4. The waiting channel is located at the elevator entrance 1. A camera 2 is installed above the waiting channel and is connected to an image recognition module to identify the number of people in the waiting channel. The ticket gate 3 is installed at the entrance of the waiting channel to verify ticket information. The ticket gate 3 is connected to a controller, which controls the opening and closing of the ticket gate 3. A weighing platform 4 is located at the entrance of the ticket gate 3 to measure the weight of the person being checked. A mass sensor is installed below the weighing platform 4 to collect the weight measured by the weighing platform 4. The mass sensor is connected to a calculation module, which records and accumulates the weight collected by the mass sensor. Both the calculation module and the image recognition module are connected to the controller. The controller controls the opening and closing of the ticket gate 3 based on the weight collected by the mass sensor and the number of people identified by the image recognition module.
[0016] The ticket gate 3 has a gate 5 in the middle and an infrared sensor at the exit. After elevator passengers pass through the ticket gate 3 and are detected by the infrared sensor, the gate 5 closes. The waiting channel has guardrails 6 on both sides to prevent people who have not passed through the ticket gate 3 from entering the waiting channel. The ticket gate 3 is connected to the scenic area's ticketing system and can check tickets accurately by facial recognition, ID card scanning, or ticket scanning. The weighing platform 4 has its upper surface flush with the ground to prevent elevator passengers from tripping when checking tickets. The camera 2 is installed in the middle of the upper part of the waiting channel. The camera 2's collection range is limited to the waiting channel area to avoid capturing images outside the ticket gate 3, which would cause the image recognition module to identify people outside the gate.
[0017] The specific implementation process is as follows: The controller presets the safe passenger capacity and weight of the elevator. When elevator passengers stand on the weighing platform 4 at the ticket gate 3 for ticket checking, the mass sensor at the bottom of the weighing platform 4 records and accumulates the passenger's weight. The calculation module transmits the weight to the controller. After ticket checking, the gate 5 opens, and the elevator passenger enters the waiting channel through the gate 5. The camera 2 on the waiting channel collects images of the waiting channel in real time. The image recognition module identifies the number of people in the waiting channel and transmits the number to the controller. When the accumulated weight is close to the safe weight of the elevator or the number of passengers is equal to the safe passenger capacity, the controller controls the ticket gate 3 to stop ticket checking. After the people in the waiting channel enter the elevator, the camera 2 collects zero information about the number of people in the waiting channel. At this time, the accumulated weight collected by the calculation module is reset to zero, and the controller controls the ticket gate 3 to start ticket checking. This cycle repeats, accurately controlling the number and weight of people entering the elevator, which can effectively prevent elevator overload and avoid the need for frequent entry and exit of people in the elevator due to overload, thus improving the elevator's operating efficiency.
