Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic loading technology, specifically a dynamic detection device for the position of a dump truck. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous rise in labor costs, more and more industrial sectors are beginning to use automated equipment such as robots to replace manual operations. For example, in product sorting on the production line, the robot arm identifies the product type based on the collected images, grabs the product, and sorts and loads the product according to the corresponding sorting rules.

[0003] However, in some industrial production environments with high safety requirements, automated production cannot be achieved solely by controlling robotic arms. For example, currently, the material loading process still requires human intervention to coordinate all aspects, such as verifying that the material truck is parked in the designated loading area at the transfer site. However, this method relies on visual inspection. Therefore, existing material loading technologies suffer from low automation levels and significant uncertainties. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dynamic detection device for the position of a dump truck that can accurately and automatically determine whether a material truck is parked in a designated loading area, effectively saving labor costs and improving accuracy.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A dynamic position detection device for a dump truck includes a laser scanner for detecting the relative position of the dump truck's hopper with respect to the discharge port of a funnel, and a ranging millimeter-wave radar for detecting the distance between the dump truck and the gantry. The laser scanner and the ranging millimeter-wave radar are connected to the gantry. The ranging millimeter-wave radar is electrically connected to a funnel control cabinet, which is electrically connected to the laser scanner. The funnel control cabinet is communicatively connected to a control terminal.

[0007] Furthermore, there are multiple ranging millimeter-wave radars, which are evenly distributed on both sides of the laser scanner.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] In practical applications, the laser scanner is a 2D laser scanner that generates point cloud data through scanning. The funnel electrical control cabinet analyzes the point cloud data to identify the relative position of the truck bed to the discharge port and transmits the data to the control terminal for remote control, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the dump truck's loading position. Simultaneously, the distance between the dump truck and the gantry 1 detected by the ranging millimeter-wave radar located on both sides of the laser scanner performs secondary verification of the laser scanner's detection data, ensuring the reliability of the detection data. This invention can accurately and automatically determine whether the material truck is parked in the designated loading area, effectively saving labor costs while improving accuracy.
