Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of passenger flow monitoring, and in particular to a passenger flow monitoring device for passenger, freight and mail vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Passenger flow monitoring for passenger, freight, and mail vehicles is a device that integrates multiple sensors and intelligent technologies. It is specifically designed to monitor passenger flow, cargo loading, and vehicle operation status of mixed passenger, freight, and mail transport vehicles. Through real-time data collection and analysis, it can improve transportation efficiency, ensure safety, and optimize resource allocation.

[0003] Monitoring passenger flow in passenger, freight, and mail vehicles typically involves using infrared sensors or cameras and image recognition algorithms to accurately count the number of people getting on and off the vehicle, distinguishing between adults, children, and those carrying luggage. However, during the process of getting on or off the vehicle, passengers traveling together often move close together, holding hands, resulting in a small gap between two people. This makes it difficult for infrared sensors to accurately determine how many people are passing by. To address this issue, we propose a passenger flow monitoring device for passenger, freight, and mail vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a passenger flow monitoring device for passenger, freight and mail vehicles to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A passenger flow monitoring device for passenger, freight and mail vehicles includes a staircase, an installation groove on the upper surface of the staircase, a pressure detection component installed inside the installation groove, a support component installed inside the pressure detection component, an infrared detection component installed on the upper surface of the pressure detection component, and an anti-slip component laid on the upper surface of the pressure detection component.

[0007] In a further embodiment, the pressure detection assembly includes a mounting frame located inside a mounting groove. Two pressure sensors are installed inside the mounting frame, and a support plate is mounted on the top of the two pressure sensors. A top frame is mounted on the upper surface of the support plate.

[0008] In a further embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting frame is provided with multiple sliding grooves, and the outer surface of the support plate is provided with multiple sliding plates, each of the sliding grooves being adapted to the sliding plate.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the support assembly includes a first spring and a plurality of second springs, all of which are located inside the mounting frame, and the top ends of the first spring and the plurality of second springs are connected to the bottom surface of the support plate.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the infrared detection component includes two mounting bases, each with an infrared sensor mounted on one side close to the other, and the two infrared sensors are compatible with each other.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the anti-slip component includes a placement groove located on the upper surface of the top frame, and the upper surface of the placement groove is covered with a foot pedal.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model discloses a passenger flow monitoring device for passenger, freight, and mail vehicles. By installing a step-type detection component in the vehicle's staircase, the pressure sensor in the device can sense the pressure of stepping on the device to monitor the number of passengers. Furthermore, because the doorway is relatively narrow, it prevents two people from stepping on the device simultaneously. Therefore, this device effectively solves the problem in existing devices where the infrared sensor cannot accurately determine the number of people passing by due to the small gap between two people.

The two infrared sensors 12 are compatible with each other, and the passengers can be detected again through the infrared sensors 12, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the monitoring.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] When using this passenger, freight, and mail vehicle passenger flow monitoring device, the staff first places the mounting frame 18 into the mounting groove 14 opened on the upper surface of the step ladder 1 and fixes it with multiple bolts. Then, the device is assembled, and the various electrical components in the device are connected to the auxiliary calculation and display device through wires. Finally, when in use, passengers step on the upper surface of the top frame 10, which is sensed by two pressure sensors 16, and the sensed signal is transmitted to the auxiliary calculation and display device for recording.
