Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent lighting technology, and in particular to an audio-visual indicator light and an audio-visual indicator light based on environmental changes. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production and logistics, safety alerts and information dissemination are crucial. With continuous technological advancements, various safety alert devices have emerged, playing a key role in ensuring personnel safety and improving production efficiency. For example, in complex production workshops and logistics locations, accurate and timely alerts enable workers to react quickly, prevent accidents, and ensure the orderly conduct of all tasks.

[0003] To provide prompts for AGVs in specific scenarios, simple indicator lights are typically used. However, these lights often only provide a single visual signal, resulting in limited functionality. On the other hand, some devices rely on manual inspections to obtain crucial information, such as manually checking the AGV's position or the parameters of the testing environment. This is not only labor-intensive but also difficult to guarantee in terms of timeliness and accuracy. Furthermore, some devices use a single communication method for data transmission, making them poorly adaptable to different network environments.

[0004] However, the existing prompting methods have obvious drawbacks: traditional traffic lights cannot provide diverse prompts according to different situations, making it difficult to meet the needs of complex scenarios; manual inspection is inefficient and prone to oversights, failing to detect potential problems in a timely manner; and devices with a single communication method may experience communication interruptions when facing different network conditions, resulting in the inability to accurately obtain the required information and thus failing to trigger an effective prompting mechanism in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides an audible and visual indicator light and an audible and visual indicator light based on environmental changes, which can improve logistics efficiency and accuracy, and achieve high-precision monitoring and alarm of AGV vehicle position.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides an audio-visual indicator light, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An audible and visual indicator light includes a main control module, a communication adapter module, an optocoupler isolation control circuit, an audible and visual alarm component, and a configuration management module. The main control module is electrically connected to the communication adapter module, the optocoupler isolation control circuit, the audible and visual alarm component, and the configuration management module. The configuration management module is configured with AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) interface parameters and position trigger thresholds on a terminal connected to the communication adapter module. When the position data of the AGV meets the position trigger threshold, the configuration management module drives the optocoupler isolation control circuit to trigger the audible and visual alarm component to operate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the terminal sends the AGV car interface parameters and position trigger threshold to the configuration management module, and then uses the main control module to coordinate the work of each module. When the AGV car position data meets the threshold, it indicates that it has exceeded the preset position, thereby accurately driving the optocoupler isolation control circuit to trigger the sound and light alarm component to work, realizing the monitoring and alarm of the AGV car position, improving logistics efficiency and accuracy, and reducing labor costs and error rate.

[0009] This application further includes a signal detection module. The communication adaptation module includes a wireless local area network (WLAN) unit, an Ethernet unit, and a cellular mobile communication unit. The WLAN unit, Ethernet unit, and cellular mobile communication unit are electrically connected to the signal detection module. When the signal detection module detects the signal coverage range of the network parameters of the AGV's position data, the communication adaptation module selects the communication unit with the widest network signal coverage range to communicate with the configuration management module.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the AGV vehicle position data can be stably obtained in different network environments, improving the reliability and stability of the intelligent indicator light, enhancing the response capability to changes in the AGV vehicle position, and triggering audible and visual alarms in a timely manner.

[0011] This application further specifies that: the configuration management module provides the communication protocol selection function and early warning positioning coordinate configuration function of the communication adapter module through an embedded web interface, and the embedded web interface is generated by the main control module and published to the outside world through the communication adapter module.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and utilizing the embedded web interface of the configuration management module, users can manually select the communication protocol of the communication adapter module or configure the early warning positioning coordinates according to their actual needs, thereby improving its flexibility and practicality.

[0013] This application further specifies that the sound and light alarm component includes an adjustable brightness LED light group, a variable volume speaker, and a vibration motor, wherein the LED light group, speaker, and vibration motor are connected to the main control module through an optocoupler isolation control circuit.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the sound and light alarm component consisting of adjustable brightness LED lights, variable volume speakers and vibration motors makes the brightness and volume of the sound and light alarm adjustable, and also adds a vibration alarm mode, enriching the alarm forms and attracting users' attention more effectively.

[0015] This application further specifies that the main control module has a built-in real-time clock chip and a watchdog circuit. The real-time clock chip is used to record the system time, and the watchdog circuit is used to monitor the operating status of the main control module.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the real-time clock chip can record the system time, which helps to accurately record information such as the operation time of the equipment; the watchdog circuit can monitor the operating status of the main control module and prevent equipment failure caused by abnormalities in the main control module.

[0017] This application further specifies that the optocoupler isolation control circuit includes an optocoupler and a power transistor, the input terminal of the optocoupler is electrically connected to the main control module, the control terminal of the power transistor is electrically connected to the output terminal of the optocoupler, and the load terminal of the power transistor is electrically connected to the audible and visual alarm component.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the main control module can effectively drive and control the audible and visual alarm components, and the optical isolation can minimize external interference and improve the stability and reliability of controlling the audible and visual alarm components.

[0019] Secondly, this application provides an audio-visual indicator light based on environmental changes, employing the following technical solution:

[0020] An audible and visual indicator light based on environmental changes includes any one of the aforementioned audible and visual indicator lights, and further includes an environmental parameter monitoring system. The environmental parameter monitoring system is electrically connected to a main control module, a communication adapter module, an optocoupler isolation control circuit, an audible and visual alarm component, and a configuration management module. The configuration management module is configured with an environmental parameter interface address and a threshold range. The main control module queries the environmental parameter monitoring system API interface at a preset time interval through the communication adapter module. When the data returned by the environmental parameter monitoring system exceeds the threshold range, the main control module drives the optocoupler isolation control circuit to trigger the audible and visual alarm component to operate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, real-time environmental data can be obtained by querying the environmental parameter monitoring system API interface at a preset time. When the environmental parameters exceed the threshold range, an audible and visual alarm is triggered in a timely manner to monitor and prompt environmental changes. This enables high-precision monitoring and alarm of the AGV vehicle position under different environmental changes, thereby improving logistics efficiency and accuracy.

[0022] This application further specifies that the environmental parameter monitoring system includes a temperature and humidity monitoring module, and the main control module is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity detection module. When the data returned by the temperature and humidity monitoring module exceeds the temperature or humidity threshold range, the main control module drives the optocoupler isolation control circuit to activate the audible and visual alarm component corresponding to the temperature or humidity threshold.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature and humidity of the environment are monitored. When the temperature and humidity exceed the preset threshold range, the main control module can drive the optocoupler isolation control circuit to trigger the corresponding audible and visual alarm components. This can promptly detect and adjust the temperature and humidity changes in the test environment, ensure the stability and consistency of the test environment, and help users take timely measures to protect the safety of test equipment and samples.

[0024] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. This application connects the main control module to each module electrically, and sets the AGV vehicle interface parameters and position trigger thresholds through the configuration management module. When the AGV vehicle position data meets the threshold, the audible and visual alarm component is triggered, providing accurate and timely prompts in the AGV intelligent logistics system, replacing manual inspections, and improving logistics efficiency and safety. The signal detection module detects the signal coverage range of the network parameters and selects the communication unit with the widest coverage for communication, which can adapt to different network environments, solve the problem of poor adaptability of a single communication method, and achieve accurate acquisition of real-time information of the AGV vehicle and trigger the prompt mechanism.

[0026] 2. This application connects to each module via an environmental parameter monitoring system, and sets the interface address and threshold range of environmental parameters through a configuration management module. The main control module queries environmental data periodically, and triggers the audible and visual alarm component when the temperature or humidity data exceeds the threshold. This allows for real-time monitoring of the test environment parameters, enabling the AGV to trigger an alarm based on abnormal temperature and humidity changes within the space.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses an audio-visual indicator light. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, an audible and visual indicator light includes a main control module 1, a communication adapter module 2, an optocoupler isolation control circuit, an audible and visual alarm component 4, and a configuration management module 5. The main control module 1 is electrically connected to the communication adapter module 2, the optocoupler isolation control circuit, the audible and visual alarm component 4, and the configuration management module 5. The configuration management module 5 is connected to a terminal via the communication adapter module 2. The terminal includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones and laptops. Users set AGV (Augmented Vehicle) interface parameters and position trigger thresholds through the terminal. After saving and enabling the settings, the user can periodically obtain the AGV's position information from the interface. When the AGV's position data meets the position trigger threshold, the configuration management module 5 drives the optocoupler isolation control circuit to trigger the audible and visual alarm component 4, thereby causing the audible and visual alarm component 4 to sound an alarm. This enables the monitoring and alarming of the AGV's position, improving logistics efficiency and accuracy, and reducing labor costs and error rates. The timing period is set by the user.

[0034] In this embodiment, the main control module 1 uses the Espressif ESP32-WROOM-32, which integrates an Xtensa dual-core 32-bit LX6 microprocessor, supports clock frequencies up to 240 MHz, and features built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. It is equipped with Ethernet expansion circuitry, 4G communication expansion circuitry, optocoupler MOS control circuitry, audio-visual circuitry, and power management circuitry to enable multiple network-based linkages for triggering intrusion audio-visual alarms based on the AGV vehicle's position. The power supply voltage is 8~26VDC, and the power interface has reverse phase protection and overvoltage protection. It supports WiFi, Ethernet, 4G, and Bluetooth 4.2, and supports TCP / UDP, MQTT, and HTTP(S), and is compatible with IEEE 802.11ax, 802.11b / g / n protocols, with alarm triggering time controlled within 1 second.

[0035] Furthermore, the audible and visual indicator light also includes a signal detection module 6, and a communication adaptation module 2 including a wireless local area network (WLAN) unit, an Ethernet unit, and a cellular mobile communication unit. The WLAN unit, Ethernet unit, and cellular mobile communication unit are electrically connected to the signal detection module 6. The signal detection module 6 can detect the network signal coverage of the space where the AGV is located and can compare the strength of different network signals. Specifically, when the WLAN unit is activated for communication, the AGV's location information is obtained via WiFi; when the Ethernet unit is activated for communication, the AGV's location information is obtained via Ethernet; and when the cellular mobile communication unit is activated for communication, the AGV's location information is obtained via 4G. When the signal detection module 6 detects the signal coverage range of the network parameters for the AGV's location data, the communication adaptation module 2 selects the communication unit with the widest network signal coverage to communicate with the configuration management module 5. This ensures stable acquisition of the AGV's location data in different network environments, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the intelligent indicator light, enhancing its responsiveness to changes in the AGV's location, and triggering audible and visual alarms in a timely manner.

[0036] In a WiFi environment, it supports multiple communication protocols such as HTTP(s), TCP / UDP, and MQTT, making it suitable for remote control triggering various audio-visual prompts in local area networks and wide area networks. It can emit clear and bright prompt signals in a wide range of environments, thereby effectively attracting users' attention to the AGV.

[0037] Specifically, when the on-site network is in a WiFi environment, mobile phones, laptops, and other terminals can connect to the WiFi AP hotspot of the audible and visual indicator light. After connecting, accessing the gateway address of the AP hotspot will take you to the WEB configuration management page of the audible and visual indicator light. The WEB management page contains all the system parameters of the audible and visual indicator light. On the WEB management page, scan for nearby WiFi hotspots, enter the specified WiFi SSID and password to connect; after connecting, re-enter the WEB management page, configure the interface parameters of the AGV system, save and enable it, and the AGV's position data will be periodically obtained from the interface. When the AGV's position data meets the position trigger threshold, the audible and visual alarm component 4 will be triggered.

[0038] When the on-site network in the space is in 4G / Ethernet mode, mobile phones / laptops and other terminals connect to the WiFi AP hotspot of the audible and visual indicator light. After connecting, access the gateway address of the AP hotspot to enter the WEB configuration management page. On the page, configure the 4G / Ethernet enable parameters and the interface parameters of the AGV system. After saving and enabling, the location information of the AGV can be obtained from the interface at regular intervals, triggering the audible and visual alarm component 4.

[0039] Furthermore, the configuration management module 5 provides the communication protocol selection function and early warning positioning coordinate configuration function of the communication adapter module 2 through an embedded web interface, allowing users to manually select the communication protocol of the communication adapter module 2 according to actual needs. The embedded web interface is generated by the main control module 1 and published to the outside world through the communication adapter module 2, realizing the configuration of the early warning positioning coordinates of the AVG car, improving its flexibility and practicality. The early warning positioning coordinates can be represented by latitude and longitude data.

[0040] For example, in one embodiment, a mobile phone connects to a Wi-Fi hotspot, accesses the IP address bar through a browser, and enters the web management page of the sound, light, and electrical indicator light. The user searches for and joins the router's Wi-Fi in the configuration options of the embedded web interface, and enters the corresponding Wi-Fi name and password. After joining the on-site Wi-Fi, other terminals within the same Wi-Fi router's local area network can use a LAN discovery tool, such as Fugitive_WIFI_Monitoring, to quickly find the network address and device status of the sound, light, and electrical indicator light. In a computer's browser, the device IP address of the sound, light, and electrical indicator light is entered, thereby accessing the indicator light's web management backend page, where the necessary system parameter configurations are set.

[0041] Furthermore, the audible and visual alarm component 4 includes an adjustable brightness LED light group, a variable volume speaker, and a vibration motor. The LED light group, speaker, and vibration motor are connected to the main control module 1 via an optocoupler-isolated control circuit. By adjusting the adjustable brightness LED light group, the color configuration of the LED light group for different alarms can be customized. By adjusting the variable volume speaker and vibration motor, the brightness and volume of the audible and visual alarm can be customized, enriching the alarm formats. Additionally, a vibration alarm mode is added, which can more effectively attract the user's attention.

[0042] Furthermore, the main control module 1 has a built-in real-time clock chip for recording system time, which helps to accurately record information such as the operation time of the equipment. The main control module 1 also has a built-in watchdog circuit for monitoring the operating status of the main control module 1, so as to monitor the operating status of the main control module 1 and try to avoid the equipment failure caused by abnormality of the main control module 1.

[0043] Furthermore, the optocoupler isolation control circuit includes an optocoupler and a power transistor. The input terminal of the optocoupler is electrically connected to the main control module 1, the control terminal of the power transistor is electrically connected to the output terminal of the optocoupler, and the load terminal of the power transistor is electrically connected to the audible and visual alarm component 4, which is an LED audible and visual component. The optocoupler transmits electrical signals through optical signals, electrically isolating the main control module 1 and the audible and visual alarm component 4 to minimize high-voltage interference that could damage the main control circuit. Simultaneously, its input terminal receives the main control signal, and its output terminal triggers the power transistor to conduct. The power transistor, as a switching element, amplifies the control signal and drives high-power loads, such as alarm lights and speakers, ensuring the reliable operation of the audible and visual alarm component 4. This guarantees circuit safety and achieves reliable linkage between strong and weak current systems.

[0044] The implementation principle of an embodiment of an audio-visual indicator light in this application is as follows: The terminal is connected to the WiFi AP hotspot of the audio-visual indicator light. After connection, the gateway address of the AP hotspot is accessed, and the communication protocol of the communication adaptation module 2 of the AGV is manually configured or automatically configured by the signal detection module 6 in the WEB configuration management page. Then, the terminal is re-associated with the configuration management module 5 through the WEB configuration management page, and the warning positioning coordinates of the AGV are further configured. The configured data is sent to the main control module 1 through the field network. The main control module 1 obtains the real-time positioning of the AGV and determines in real time whether the activity of the AGV exceeds the warning positioning coordinates. If it exceeds the coordinates, the audio-visual alarm component 4 is triggered.

[0045] This application also discloses an environmental change-based audio-visual indicator light applicable to any of the aforementioned audio-visual indicator lights. It can be used in spaces requiring high environmental standards, where AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) movement is permitted, and where alarms are needed to respond to changes in environmental parameters. It is particularly suitable for testing facilities. (Reference) Figures 2 to 4 In this embodiment, an audible and visual indicator light based on environmental changes includes an environmental parameter monitoring system. The environmental parameter monitoring system is electrically connected to the main control module 1, communication adapter module 2, optocoupler isolation control circuit, audible and visual alarm component 4, and configuration management module 5 of the audible and visual indicator light. The configuration management module 5 is configured with an environmental parameter interface address and threshold range. The main control module 1 queries the environmental parameter monitoring system API interface at a preset time interval through the communication adapter module 2 to obtain real-time environmental data for real-time monitoring of environmental changes. When the environmental data returned by the environmental parameter monitoring system exceeds the threshold range, the main control module 1 drives the optocoupler isolation control circuit to trigger the audible and visual alarm component 4. This timely triggering of the audible and visual alarm provides alerts for environmental changes, thereby achieving high-precision monitoring and alarming of the AGV's position under different environmental changes, improving logistics efficiency and accuracy.

[0046] Furthermore, the environmental parameter monitoring system includes a temperature and humidity monitoring module, with the temperature and humidity detection module 7 being a temperature and humidity sensor installed on the AGV vehicle. The main control module 1 is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity detection module 7. When the data returned by the temperature and humidity monitoring module exceeds the temperature or humidity threshold range, the main control module 1 drives the optocoupler isolation control circuit to activate the corresponding audible and visual alarm component 4, enabling timely detection and adjustment of temperature and humidity changes in the test environment. This improves the stability and consistency of the test environment and helps users take timely countermeasures against temperatures and / or humidity exceeding the threshold, quickly protecting the safety of the test equipment and samples.

[0047] The implementation principle of an embodiment of an environmental change-based sound, light, and electricity indicator light in this application is as follows: The terminal is connected to the WiFi AP hotspot of the environmental change-based sound, light, and electricity indicator light. After connection, the gateway address of the AP hotspot is accessed, and the WEB configuration management page is entered to manually configure the communication protocol of the AGV's communication adaptation module 2 or automatically configure it through the signal detection module 6. Then, the terminal is re-associated with the configuration management module 5 through the WEB configuration management page, and further configured with the AGV's warning positioning coordinates and temperature and humidity thresholds. The configured data is sent to the main control module 1 through the field network. The main control module 1 obtains the AGV's real-time positioning and temperature and humidity thresholds. Then, it determines in real time whether the AGV's activity exceeds the warning positioning coordinates. If it does, the sound and light alarm component 4 is triggered. The temperature and humidity detection module 7 determines whether the AGV's activity exceeds the temperature threshold. If it does, the sound and light alarm component 4 is triggered. Similarly, it determines whether the AGV's activity exceeds the humidity threshold. If it does, the sound and light alarm component 4 is triggered.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
