Detailed Implementation

[0047] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0048] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0049] In related technologies, the design of automated transport equipment typically relies on magnetic coupling drive, achieving movement through the magnetic force generated by the magnetic coupling between the moving module and the transport track assembly. However, these technologies lack real-time monitoring methods for the vibration of the moving module, resulting in the inability to detect and address vibration problems in a timely manner. The embodiments disclosed herein aim to achieve real-time measurement and data output of the vibration of the moving module during transport using a vibration measurement module, enabling timely detection of vibration risks that may damage goods and early risk mitigation.

[0050] In specific implementations, embodiments of this disclosure provide a transport component, including a moving module and a vibration measurement module. The moving module is used to magnetically couple with a transport track assembly to generate a magnetic force acting on the moving module, driving it to move. Under the movement of the moving module, the transport component moves along the transport track assembly. Furthermore, the moving module can be used to load items for automatic transport and to unload items upon arrival at the destination. The vibration measurement module is disposed on the surface of the moving module. It is understood that the orientational relationship between the moving module and the transport track assembly is relative. In a specific scenario, from a human perspective, the moving module can be located above, to the side, or below the transport track assembly; this disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0051] To facilitate understanding, the positional relationship between the moving module and the transport track assembly will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The diagram shown is a perspective view of a transport component provided in one embodiment of this disclosure. The moving module 1 is located on the transport track assembly 3. Figure 1 Below (not shown in the image). Figure 2 The figure shown is a perspective view of a transport component provided in another embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the moving module 1 is located on the side of the transport track assembly 3.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the moving module 1 and the transport track assembly 3 are connected with a clearance fit. The transport track assembly 3 may include a stator module 31. Figure 1 Not shown in the image. Figure 2 (shown in the image) and transport rail 32 ( Figure 1 Not shown in the image. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the magnetic field generated by the stator module 31 interacts with the magnetic unit in the moving module 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 (The components shown are not displayed) interact to generate a driving force acting on the moving module, enabling the moving module 1 to move along the transport path. The magnetic unit may include one or more combinations of magnets and permanent magnets.

[0053] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2The perspective views of the conveying components in two embodiments are shown. Without affecting the loading and unloading of items, the vibration measurement module (not shown) can be disposed on the surface of the moving module 1. It should be understood that the various components of the vibration measurement module (such as the vibration sensing module, wireless communication module, power supply module, etc.) are not limited to being disposed on the same surface of the same moving component; that is, the various components of the vibration measurement module can be disposed on the same surface of the same moving component, or the various components of the vibration measurement module can be distributed and disposed on multiple surfaces of the same moving component. This disclosure does not impose such limitations.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vibration measurement module can be installed on at least one of surfaces A1, A2, and A3 of the movable module 1. Figure 2 As shown, the vibration measurement module can be installed on at least one of surfaces B1 and B2 of the mobile module 1.

[0055] It should be understood that Figure 1 and Figure 2 The different mounting positions of the vibration measurement module on the surface of the moving module 1 shown are merely examples. The mounting position of the vibration measurement module can be set according to actual layout requirements and is not limited here.

[0056] In practical implementation, the vibration measurement module may include at least one vibration sensing module, which may be disposed on the surface of the moving part. It should be understood that when multiple vibration sensing modules are present, the multiple vibration sensing modules may be located on the same surface of the moving part or distributed across multiple surfaces of the moving part. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, the moving module 1 is located above the transport track assembly 3, and the vibration measurement module 2 may include at least one vibration sensing module 21. Figure 3 Exemplary examples include a first vibration sensing module 21a, a second vibration sensing module 21b, and a third vibration sensing module 21c, with at least one vibration sensing module 21 located on the same side surface of the moving part. Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating a topology of a vibration measurement module, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the vibration measurement module 2 includes at least one vibration sensing module 21. Figure 4 The following are exemplary embodiments: a first vibration sensing module 21a, a second vibration sensing module 21b, a third vibration sensing module 21c, a wireless communication module 22, and a power supply module 23. The vibration sensing module 21a is used to measure the vibration of the transported component in real time during transportation. This vibration can be described as vibration data, and the module outputs the corresponding vibration data. Combined with... Figure 5As shown, the wireless communication module 22 establishes a communication connection with the vibration sensing module 21. Exemplarily, the wireless communication module 22 also establishes communication connections with the first vibration sensing module 21a, the second vibration sensing module 21b, and the third vibration sensing module 21c, for wirelessly transmitting the acquired vibration data to the data processing device 4. The data processing device 4 can specifically be an automated transport device, a host computer device, or other devices with data processing capabilities; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the power supply module 23 is connected to the vibration sensing module 21 and the wireless communication module 22, and is used to provide power support for the vibration sensing module 21 and the wireless communication module 22 to ensure the normal operation of the vibration sensing module 21 and the wireless communication module 22.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, and in conjunction with reference Figures 1 to 3 During the movement of the mobile module 1, the vibration sensing module 21 measures the vibration in real time, enabling timely capture of vibration data of the transported components. This vibration data is transmitted to the data processing device 4 via the wireless communication module 22, reducing data latency. During the movement of the transported components, the power supply module 23 provides power support to ensure that the vibration measurement module 2 measures the vibration of the transported components in real time, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the transportation process.

[0059] As one implementation approach, the vibration measurement module can adopt a modular design. The mounting positions of each module (such as the vibration sensing module, wireless communication module, and power supply module) on the surface of the mobile module can be determined based on the actual mechanical structure of the mobile module. For example, the modules in the vibration measurement module can be mounted on the same surface of the mobile module. Alternatively, at least some modules in the vibration measurement module can be mounted on different surfaces of the mobile module.

[0060] As one approach, vibration measurement modules can be integrated into a single unit, making it easier to install the module onto the surface of a mobile module. This increases installation efficiency and makes the module suitable for various handling components, automated transport equipment, and other industrial manufacturing applications.

[0061] For example, all modules of the vibration measurement module (including the aforementioned vibration sensing module, wireless communication module, and power supply module) are integrated on the same printed circuit board (PCB), and the modules are interconnected via wiring. For instance, components of the vibration sensing module and wireless communication module are soldered onto the same PCB, and the power supply module distributes power through a power management chip. This integrated design reduces external connections, lowers the risk of signal interference, improves the integration and reliability of the vibration measurement module, and enhances the collaboration efficiency between modules.

[0062] As one approach, without affecting the mobile module's ability to carry and release items, the vibration measurement module with an integrated design can be fixed to the surface of the mobile module, for example, by bonding, welding, or bolting to the surface area of ​​the mobile module, with the distribution position precisely installed through preset holes or clamps.

[0063] In one embodiment, the handling component itself can be integrated, with the moving module and vibration measurement module integrated into a single unit, which is then assembled with the transport track assembly during application. This integrated design reduces the overall volume of the handling component and lowers the risk of damage to the vibration measurement module, extending its service life. For example, without affecting the moving module's ability to load and release items, grooves for mounting the vibration measurement module modules are provided on the surface of the moving module. After the vibration measurement module modules are installed, a cover plate is used for sealing. Since the vibration measurement module modules are housed within these grooves in the moving module, the overall volume of the handling component is not increased, and the vibration measurement module is protected, thereby reducing the risk of damage and extending its service life.

[0064] In this embodiment, the vibration sensing module is used to measure the vibration of the moving module. Its type includes piezoelectric sensors, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) sensors, velocity sensors, displacement sensors, etc., and is not limited thereto. Taking a MEMS sensor as an example, it can measure the acceleration changes of the transported component in three axes and output vibration data.

[0065] The conveying component described in this embodiment can be used in logistics scenarios or automated production scenarios.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, the vibration measurement module may include multiple vibration sensing modules distributed at different locations on the moving module. This enhances the coverage of vibration measurement, reduces blind spots, and retains some redundant measurement capabilities when a local vibration sensing module fails, thereby improving transportation reliability. Exemplarily, the multiple vibration sensing modules can be arranged in a matrix, symmetrical, or distributed manner, allowing designers to select the appropriate type based on the structural dimensions and operational requirements of the transported components.

[0067] As an optional implementation method, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the relative positions between vibration sensing modules 21 are set such that the measurement ranges of adjacent vibration sensing modules 21 at least partially overlap. For example, the first vibration sensing module 21a has a first measurement range s1, the second vibration sensing module 21b has a second measurement range s2, and the third vibration sensing module 21c has a third measurement range s3, wherein s1 and s2 partially overlap, and s2 and s3 partially overlap.

[0068] By employing an overlapping measurement range design, a continuously covered multi-dimensional measurement area can be formed, improving the accuracy of identifying vibrations in different parts of the moving module and enhancing the vibration measurement module's ability to sense complex structures. Simultaneously, the overlapping deployment of measurement ranges improves overall vibration data coverage while enhancing system fault tolerance. Even if one vibration sensing module fails, adjacent vibration sensing modules can continue to sense vibrations in that area, thus ensuring measurement continuity and system robustness. Furthermore, the overlapping design helps enhance the multi-directional detection capability for vibrations in multiple directions, adapting to various interference sources that may occur along the transportation path.

[0069] In practical applications, vibration sensing modules can be arranged in a matrix, ring, or irregular distribution according to the shape of the moving module. The sampling priority of vibration data from different vibration sensing modules can be set by software to achieve regional weighted monitoring or trend judgment. For example, for a long strip-shaped transport structure, vibration sensing modules can be arranged linearly along the length direction.

[0070] In some implementations, multiple vibration sensing modules may be distributed on the top and / or sides of the moving module to achieve multi-directional vibration measurement.

[0071] In some implementations, multiple vibration sensing modules may be distributed on the same surface area of ​​the moving module, or at least some of the multiple vibration sensing modules may be distributed on different surface areas of the moving module.

[0072] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, multiple vibration sensing modules 21 are distributed on the same surface area of ​​the moving module 1. For example, the first vibration sensing module 21a, the second vibration sensing module 21b, and the third vibration sensing module 21c are arranged on the same surface area, which is part of the outer surface of the moving module 1. This can increase the planar measurement range.

[0073] For example, combining Figure 7 As shown, multiple vibration sensing modules 21 are distributed on adjacent surface areas of the moving module 1, and these adjacent surface areas intersect. Exemplarily, the intersection characteristic of adjacent surface areas means that two surface areas have a line of intersection in space, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the top surface 1a and side surface 1b of the moving module 1 intersect to form an edge. In this example, the moving module 1 is cuboid or cube-shaped, with six planes as surface areas. Vibration sensing modules 21 (e.g., the fourth vibration sensing module 21d and the fifth vibration sensing module 21e) are respectively disposed on its top surface 1a and one side surface 1b, and the top surface 1a and side surface 1b are adjacent surface areas. It should be understood that... Figure 7 One example is shown where the surface area of ​​the moving module 1 is planar. In another embodiment, the surface area of ​​the moving module 1 may be a non-planar structure, such as an uneven curved surface, in which case the intersection of adjacent planar areas may be a curve.

[0074] Vibration sensing modules 21 are distributed on the top surface 1a and side surface 1b of the moving module 1. The fourth vibration sensing module 21d and the fifth vibration sensing module 21e on adjacent surface areas can detect the deflection vibration of different surfaces of the moving module 1, thereby providing multi-dimensional vibration data for better vibration monitoring.

[0075] Therefore, by distributing vibration sensing modules across adjacent surface areas, the overlapping measurement ranges allow for multi-dimensional vibration measurement, adapting to vibration variations in complex transport paths and improving the comprehensiveness and reliability of detection. Furthermore, the distribution of vibration sensing modules across intersecting surface areas further optimizes signal coverage and reduces the risk of missed detections.

[0076] As can be seen from the above implementation method, the vibration sensing modules can not only be distributed in groups on the same surface area, but also across two adjacent intersecting surface areas with structural continuity, such as the intersection of horizontal and vertical planes, corners, etc. This can be adapted to the vibration measurement needs in different scenarios by selecting rectangular frame layout, X-shaped cross layout, or layout around a specified point according to the geometric configuration of the moving module.

[0077] In one embodiment, the vibration sensing module is disposed at the edge and / or corner of the surface area of ​​the moving module. For example, the edge location refers to the intersection of adjacent surface areas, and the corner location can refer to the vicinity of sharp corners on the moving module, such as the top corner or bottom corner.

[0078] On the one hand, edges or corners may experience earlier and stronger vibration transmission during the movement of the moving module. On the other hand, even if vibration does not occur at the edges or corners of the moving module, but in other parts of the module, the vibration amplitude is greater when it reaches the edges or corners, making it easier for the vibration sensing module to measure the vibration data. Therefore, placing the vibration sensing module at the edges and / or corners of the moving module's surface area allows for earlier detection of vibration signals caused by external impacts or uneven tracks by utilizing the sensitivity of these locations to vibration conditions. Furthermore, placing the sensor at the edges and corners facilitates maintenance and replacement of the vibration sensing module, while avoiding occupying the central area and ensuring sufficient load-bearing space for the transported components.

[0079] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first vibration sensing module 21a, the second vibration sensing module 21b, and the third vibration sensing module 21c are located at the edge of the moving module 1. Figure 7 As shown, the fourth vibration sensing module 21d is located at the corner of the surface area of ​​the moving module 1, and the fifth vibration sensing module 21e is located at the edge.

[0080] In some applications, such as the handling of high-precision equipment, multiple vibration sensing modules can be repeatedly placed at regular intervals along the edge of the equipment to achieve high-density continuous edge deployment. For another example, if the moving module has rounded corners, several vibration sensing modules can be evenly distributed at the intersection of the arcs to achieve omnidirectional edge sensing.

[0081] In this embodiment, the vibration measurement module includes at least one pair of vibration sensing modules, each pair of vibration sensing modules being disposed in the same position area of ​​the moving module. The same position area can refer to the location points of the pair of vibration sensing modules belonging to the same surface area in spatial position.

[0082] For example, combining Figure 8 As shown, the vibration measurement module 2 includes a pair of vibration sensing modules 21, namely the sixth vibration sensing module 21f and the seventh vibration sensing module 21g, which are located in the same position area of ​​the moving module 1.

[0083] In this embodiment, two (or more) vibration sensing modules are arranged in pairs within the same location area of ​​the mobile module to collect multiple sets of vibration data at the same location, so as to form data redundancy or enhance the vibration sensing capability in the lateral / vertical direction.

[0084] Therefore, deploying paired vibration sensing modules in the same location area helps to perceive the vibration of target points on the moving module from multiple dimensions, improving measurement accuracy and stability. It also allows for error filtering and identification of faulty modules through comparative calculations. For example, the paired vibration sensing modules can respond accurately to minor vibrations during transportation by working together. Furthermore, even if one vibration sensing module fails, either module in the pair can continue to collect vibration data, enhancing fault tolerance.

[0085] In this embodiment, the vibration sensing modules arranged in pairs are close together and can be integrated together and fixed to the surface of the moving module, for example, by means of preset mounting holes for alignment.

[0086] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the vibration measurement module 2 may also include a support member 24, and at least one pair of vibration sensing modules 21 (e.g., the sixth vibration sensing module 21f and the seventh vibration sensing module 21g) are respectively mounted on the opposing support surfaces 24a and 24b of the support member 24, and the projections of each pair of vibration sensing modules 21 on the support surface 24a or 24b at least partially overlap.

[0087] In this embodiment, by setting up a support member 24, multiple vibration sensing modules arranged in pairs are respectively installed on the opposing surfaces of the support member 24 (as support surfaces), realizing a back-to-back arrangement, ensuring structural rigidity and installation symmetry, and at the same time achieving overlapping of measurement areas through spatial alignment.

[0088] By adopting the above scheme, on the one hand, the back-to-back deployment method avoids mutual interference between paired vibration sensing modules and improves the comprehensiveness of signal capture. On the other hand, it maintains the consistency of their measurement areas, reduces the risk of missed vibration detection, facilitates high-precision synchronous detection, and provides a unified support platform for subsequent structural deployment or module packaging.

[0089] In an alternative implementation, refer to Figure 8The vibration measurement module 2 also includes a housing 25, which has a cavity 250 inside. The support member 24 is disposed in the cavity 250 of the housing 25 and divides the cavity 250 into multiple sub-cavities, such as a first sub-cavity 251 and a second sub-cavity 252. At least one pair of vibration sensing modules 21 are respectively disposed in different sub-cavities. For example, the sixth vibration sensing module 21f and the seventh vibration sensing module 21g are respectively disposed in the first sub-cavity 251 and the second sub-cavity 252.

[0090] In this embodiment, the vibration measurement module 2 is encapsulated by a shell. The support member 24 divides the shell 25 into independent sub-cavities (such as the first sub-cavity 251 and the second sub-cavity 252) to accommodate multiple vibration sensing modules 21. Each vibration sensing module 21 is located in an independent sub-cavity and is isolated from each other.

[0091] This embodiment implements a modular packaging structure for the vibration measurement module, improving assembly convenience and usage safety. The housing and sub-cavity design reduces signal interference or electromagnetic interference between vibration sensing modules through physical isolation, enhancing the independence and accuracy of vibration measurements. Furthermore, the housing provides dustproof, waterproof, and impact-resistant protection, making the vibration measurement module suitable for harsh industrial application environments.

[0092] For example, the housing can be made of metal or high-strength plastic, and can be a one-piece injection-molded structure or a split structure. Support members are disposed within the cavity and can be fixed by welding or bolts. The support members serve as spatial dividers within the housing and may also have insulating properties. The vibration measurement module can be mounted to the mobile module via the housing, for example, by bolts or other connectors, or by adhesive bonding to the surface of the mobile module.

[0093] Optionally, the housing can be designed as a side-mounted, top-mounted, or embedded structure depending on the installation method between it and the mobile module. The housing material can be ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate), aluminum alloy, or a composite material with corrosion resistance, and can be assembled by ultrasonic welding, snap-locking, or screw fixing.

[0094] In this disclosure, reference is made to the following embodiments. Figure 8The support member 24 includes a mounting plate 241 and a support portion 242. The first surface 2411 and the second surface 2412 of the mounting plate 241 serve as opposing support surfaces 24a and 24b, respectively. The support portion 242 is connected to the first surface 2411 of the mounting plate 241 to support the mounting plate 241 and to create a gap 2a between the first surface 2411 of the mounting plate 241 and the surface of the moving module 1. In this embodiment, the aforementioned first sub-cavity 251 is part of this gap 2a, which is used to accommodate at least one of a pair of vibration sensing modules 21.

[0095] In this embodiment, by introducing a layered structure of mounting plate 241 and support part 242 in support member 24, a pair of vibration sensing modules 21 (such as the sixth vibration sensing module 21f and the seventh vibration sensing module 21g) can be symmetrically arranged on the first plate surface 2411 and the second plate surface 2412, while reserving sufficient gap 2a to ensure that the structure of vibration measurement module 2 is more compact and the stability of vibration sensing module 21 is better.

[0096] The support portion 242 provides structural support for the mounting plate 241, which helps to reduce the displacement of the vibration sensing module 21 when the moving module 1 vibrates, thus improving installation stability. The separation of the sixth vibration sensing module 21f and the seventh vibration sensing module 21g further reduces signal interference. The gap 2a formed between the mounting plate 241 and the moving module 1 facilitates electrical wiring or heat dissipation and wiring, improving module integration efficiency and adaptability.

[0097] In this embodiment, a gap 2a is formed between the first plate surface 2411 and the moving module 1, such that the sixth vibration sensing module 21f is closer to the surface of the moving module 1 than the seventh vibration sensing module 21g. Exemplarily, the housing 25 can be a closed space, in which case the gap 2a is separated by the housing 25 into a first sub-cavity 251. Optionally, the housing 25 may not be a closed space, and the surface of the moving module 1 and the first plate surface 2411 directly serve as the boundary of the gap 2a, in which case the first sub-cavity 251 completely overlaps with the gap 2a.

[0098] In one embodiment, the mounting plate is a rectangular plate structure made of composite material. The support portion can be a column or bracket structure, connected to the first surface of the mounting plate, creating a gap between the first surface of the mounting plate and the surface of the movable module through its supporting action. The gap is large enough to accommodate at least one vibration sensing module, for example, fixed to the first surface of the mounting plate by bolts. Another seventh vibration sensing module is mounted on the second surface of the mounting plate, forming a hierarchical three-dimensional measurement structure.

[0099] For example, the support unit suspends the mounting plate inside the housing by means of multiple equal-height columns, forming a gap 2a between the support unit and the surface of the moving module.

[0100] Optionally, the mounting plate may include a printed circuit board, or a ceramic substrate or composite material plate. The support portion may be an injection-molded structure or a metal stamping part, and the support portion 242 may be connected to the mounting plate by threads or welding. For high-precision vibration measurement applications, a shock-absorbing buffer layer, such as silicone gaskets or foam, may be added within the gap.

[0101] In this embodiment, the mounting plate may include a PCB circuit board, and the vibration sensing module includes a vibration measurement circuit, which is integrated onto the PCB circuit board. In this case, by using a PCB circuit board as the mounting plate and directly integrating the vibration measurement circuit onto the PCB circuit board, an integrated package of signal acquisition, amplification, filtering, and output functions is achieved.

[0102] In this way, the vibration measurement circuit is integrated into the printed circuit board, reducing external connections, improving signal transmission stability, and lowering the risk of interference. The integrated design also simplifies the structure of the vibration sensing module, improving production efficiency and reliability.

[0103] In one embodiment, the vibration measurement circuit may include an acceleration sensor chip, a signal amplification circuit, and an analog-to-digital conversion circuit. The circuit interconnection is achieved through the wiring of the printed circuit board. The integrated design embeds the hardware part of the vibration sensing module into the mounting plate, reducing external connection lines, reducing the risk of signal interference, and simplifying the assembly and maintenance of the module.

[0104] The PCB circuit board can be connected to the wireless communication module through the reserved pin header interface to realize single-point detection and digital signal output, which carries vibration data.

[0105] In optional embodiments, the PCB circuit board can be a flexible PCB or a rigid-flex PCB, adaptable to space-constrained or bending applications. The vibration measurement circuit can also be expanded into a combination sensor of a triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope for multi-dimensional vibration measurement, or a signal processing unit can be introduced to support edge computing functions.

[0106] In this disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple vibration sensing modules 21 in the vibration measurement module 2 share a single wireless communication module 22. For example, vibration data is aggregated and transmitted to a data processing device via circuit connections. The wireless communication module 22 can be a single-chip design that supports multiple data inputs.

[0107] Multiple vibration sensing modules 21 (such as the first vibration sensing module 21a, the second vibration sensing module 21b, and the third vibration sensing module 21c) share a power supply module 23, such as a rechargeable battery pack, which provides stable voltage and current to all modules through a power management circuit.

[0108] In this way, by sharing the wireless communication module 22 and the power supply module 23, a centralized architecture is constructed, simplifying the internal connection relationship of the module, reducing the number of independent modules, reducing hardware redundancy, lowering product cost and power consumption, while simplifying circuit design and improving system integration and operating efficiency. It also facilitates centralized management and unified control.

[0109] In this embodiment, the wireless communication module may use communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, ZigBee, and NB-IoT.

[0110] In this disclosure, such as Figure 9 As shown, the vibration measurement module 2 also includes a multiplexing module 26, which is connected to multiple vibration sensing modules 21, a power supply module 23, and a wireless communication module 22. The multiplexing module 26 is configured to receive vibration data from the multiple vibration sensing modules 21 and transmit it to the wireless communication module 22. The power supply module 23 also provides power to the multiplexing module.

[0111] This implementation introduces a multiplexing module to integrate vibration data from multiple vibration sensing modules, effectively avoiding conflicts or bandwidth congestion caused by multiple vibration sensing modules simultaneously transmitting vibration data. This improves data transmission efficiency and system responsiveness, enabling time-division processing or unified management of signal sources from multiple vibration sensing modules. Simultaneously, this reduces the load on the wireless communication module, increases communication link utilization, improves data transmission efficiency, and ensures the integrity and real-time performance of vibration data.

[0112] In one implementation, vibration data is received at the input of a multiplexing module, processed internally, and then transmitted to a wireless communication module via its output. The circuit design of the multiplexing module supports multi-channel data acquisition and can process data from each module according to a preset order or priority, ensuring the orderliness and integrity of data transmission.

[0113] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the multiplexing module 26 includes a multiplexing unit 261, multiple input terminals (such as IN1, IN2, and IN3), and at least one common output terminal OUT. Each input terminal IN1, IN2, and IN3 is connected to a corresponding vibration sensing module; for example, IN1 is connected to the first vibration sensing module 21a, IN2 to the second vibration sensing module 21b, and IN3 to the third vibration sensing module 21c. The common output terminal OUT is connected to the wireless communication module 22. The multiplexing unit is configured to switch the on / off state between each input terminal IN1, IN2, and IN3 and the common output terminal OUT according to a timing sequence to transmit vibration data from different vibration sensing modules 21 to the wireless communication module 22 in a time-division multiplexing manner. The multiplexing unit 261 includes at least one of a circuit composed of electronic components and / or a processing chip.

[0114] Thus, employing the aforementioned multiplexing module makes the vibration data acquisition logic clearer and more stable, while the single-output design significantly reduces the resource consumption of the wireless communication module's interface, optimizes the wiring structure, and improves module reliability. Furthermore, the time-division multiplexing mechanism ensures that data from different vibration sensing modules is transmitted sequentially, avoiding vibration data conflicts.

[0115] In one implementation, the multiplexing module may include analog circuitry that inputs binary signals via control pins to switch the connection of multiple input terminals to a common output terminal. A control signal is generated by an RC oscillator circuit or a frequency divider, periodically switching to achieve time-division multiplexing, sequentially sending vibration data from multiple vibration sensing modules to a wireless communication module, which then transmits the data to a data processing device.

[0116] In another implementation, the multiplexing module may include digital circuitry and use a data selector that controls the on / off states of multiple inputs and a common output OUT in a timing sequence, wherein the timing sequence is provided to the data selector by a timing circuit.

[0117] It should be understood that the multiplexing module may also include analog-to-digital circuits composed of analog and digital devices, and this utility model does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0118] In this embodiment, the processing chip can use a microcontroller unit (MCU) to read vibration data from multiple vibration sensing modules through its internal ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) and GPIO (General-Purpose Input / Output) interfaces. The MCU can implement time-division scheduling via software programming.

[0119] In another implementation, the processing chip can use a digital signal processor (DSP) to acquire vibration data through a high-speed ADC, process it using a DSP algorithm, and then output it to the wireless communication module in a timing sequence.

[0120] For example, the processing chip can use an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). Specifically, the FPGA's inputs are connected to multiple vibration sensing modules, which are time-division multiplexed via an internal program (Ladder Diagram or Structured Text). The FPGA's timer function (such as the TON instruction) controls the switching cycle, and the processed vibration data is transmitted to the wireless communication module via the output.

[0121] In another implementation, a circuit composed of electronic components and a processing chip can be combined. The electronic component circuit implements the data switching function, while the processing chip controls the circuit switching. Under the timing control of the processing chip, the electronic component circuit sequentially transmits vibration data from different vibration sensing modules to the wireless communication module.

[0122] In an optional implementation, an electronic switch is used as the circuit component to achieve initial channel switching, combined with an MCU for data integration and unified output. The electronic switch can quickly switch inputs, and the MCU manages multiple vibration data streams via the I2C protocol and outputs them to the wireless communication module.

[0123] In optional implementations, the multiplexing module may include at least one of a gateway and a router.

[0124] In this disclosure, such as Figure 11 As shown, the vibration measurement module 2 also includes an alarm module 27. The alarm module 27 is connected to the power supply module 23 and the wireless communication module 22, and is configured to perform an alarm prompt operation when an abnormal vibration signal is received from the data processing device 4 through the wireless communication module 22.

[0125] This implementation introduces an alarm module into the vibration measurement module, establishing an automatic response mechanism driven by vibration data to alert for transportation anomalies or equipment malfunctions. This enables rapid response to abnormal vibration conditions, reminding maintenance personnel to take intervention measures, shortening operator response time, resolving vibration problems promptly, preventing damage to goods, preventing further damage or misoperation, and improving the stability and safety of automated transport equipment and systems.

[0126] In one implementation, the alarm module may include a sound generator (such as a buzzer) and / or a light signal generator (such as an LED light) to provide a sound and / or light signal to indicate abnormal vibrations.

[0127] In practical applications, when the data processing equipment analyzes vibration data and identifies abnormal vibration signals (such as vibration amplitude exceeding a safety threshold), it sends the abnormal vibration signal to the alarm module via the wireless communication module. Upon receiving the abnormal vibration signal, the alarm module triggers an audible or visual alert, such as a continuous beeping sound or a flashing light, to remind the operator to take appropriate action.

[0128] Optionally, the alarm module can also be a remote signal transmission module, triggering notification methods such as voice broadcasting and mobile push. The alarm signal can also be sent to the main control system to trigger linkage measures such as shutdown, speed limit, and recalibration.

[0129] In an alternative implementation, all modules of the vibration measurement module (such as the vibration sensing module, wireless communication module, power supply module, multiplexing module, alarm module 27, etc.) are integrated on the same printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB adopts a multi-layer design, including a power layer, a signal layer, and a ground layer, and the modules are interconnected through wiring. This integrated design reduces external connections and lowers the risk of signal interference.

[0130] In one implementation, the vibration measurement module can be expanded into a system-on-chip (SIP) module according to functional requirements, or a flexible PCB can be used for curved surface mounting. It can also be combined with a metal shield and potting compound to improve anti-interference and environmental adaptability.

[0131] In another embodiment, each module in the vibration measurement module can be designed independently and installed separately on the surface of the mobile module, and connected by wiring.

[0132] This disclosure also provides an automated transportation device, such as... Figure 12 The automated transport equipment includes:

[0133] Transport track assembly 51;

[0134] The mobile module 52 is assembled on the transport track assembly 51;

[0135] Control device 53 is used to control the magnetic coupling between the transport track assembly 51 and the moving module 52, so that the moving module 52 moves along the transport track assembly 51;

[0136] A vibration measurement module 54, disposed on the surface of the movable module 52, includes at least one vibration sensing module 541, a wireless communication module 542, and a power supply module 543, wherein:

[0137] The vibration sensing module 541 is used to measure the vibration of the moving module 52 and output vibration data;

[0138] The wireless communication module 542 establishes a communication connection with the vibration sensing module 541 to transmit the vibration data of the vibration sensing module 541 to the control device 53.

[0139] The power supply module 543 is connected to the vibration sensing module 541 and the wireless communication module 542, and is used to supply power to the vibration sensing module 541 and the wireless communication module 542.

[0140] It should be understood that the specific components, internal connections, and specific implementation methods of the vibration measurement module 54 can be referred to the contents of the above-mentioned transport components, and will not be repeated here. In addition, the positional relationship and setting method between the vibration measurement module 54 and the moving module 52 can also be referred to the contents of the above-mentioned transport components, and will not be repeated here.

[0141] In this way, by measuring vibration in real time during the operation of automated transport equipment, it is possible to quickly provide feedback when abnormal vibration occurs, thereby improving the overall operational reliability and the ability to protect goods.

[0142] This embodiment does not limit the connection method between the control device 53 and the transport track assembly 51. The specific connection method can be at least one of wired connection or wireless connection.

[0143] In one example, the transport track assembly 51 can be a straight line, an arc, or a combination of both. Furthermore, the shape formed by the transport track assembly 51 extending along the moving direction of the moving module 52 can be a closed shape (such as a circle, a runway shape, or a square-round shape) or an open shape (such as a straight line, a C-shape, an S-shape, or a U-shape). The control device 53 controls the movement of one or more moving modules 52 based on a built-in algorithm. Each moving module 52 is equipped with a corresponding vibration measurement module 54, which can communicate with the control device 53 via an independent wireless communication module 542. Once the control device 53 detects abnormal vibration, it will issue a vibration risk warning and record the corresponding time information and the identification information of the moving module 52.

[0144] In an alternative implementation, such as Figure 12 As shown, the vibration measurement module 54 may only communicate wirelessly with the control device 53 of the automated transport equipment. The control device 53 is equipped with a first wireless communication module 530, and the wireless communication module 542 of the vibration measurement module 54 establishes a wireless communication connection with the first wireless communication module 530. Vibration data is packaged using the TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) protocol and transmitted to the first wireless communication module 530 of the control device 53. Therefore, in addition to controlling the movement of the moving module 52 along the transport track assembly 51, the control device 53 can also function as a data processing device to process the vibration data and analyze whether abnormal vibrations exist. Furthermore, the control device 53 can further adjust the transport parameters of the transport track assembly 51 based on the vibration data processing results.

[0145] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 13As shown, the control device 53 and the host computer device 55 establish a communication connection. For example, the control device 53 forwards the transportation data and vibration data of the automated transport equipment to the host computer device 55 via a wired connection (such as an Ethernet cable). The host computer device 55 may be equipped with a display device (such as an LCD screen) to display the vibration data through transportation data visualization software, for example, displaying the vibration data in waveform form. In this case, the control device 53 processes the vibration data in real time, the host computer device 55 ensures the reliability of vibration data transmission through the wired connection, and the display device facilitates monitoring.

[0146] For example, the control device 53 may have edge computing capabilities, which can perform preliminary processing on vibration data and only upload abnormal vibration events to the host computer device 55, thereby reducing the communication load.

[0147] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 14 As shown, the vibration measurement module 54 establishes a wireless communication connection only with the host computer device 55. For example, the host computer device 55 is equipped with a first control device 551, and the vibration measurement module 54 communicates wirelessly with the first control device 551. In one implementation, the first control device 551 is equipped with a second wireless communication module 5511, and the wireless communication module 542 of the vibration measurement module 54 establishes a wireless communication connection with the second wireless communication module 5511. Vibration data is transmitted in a streaming manner, and the host computer device 55 displays the vibration data (such as vibration amplitude curves) in real time through its display device 552.

[0148] In this embodiment, the host computer device 55 centrally processes and displays the vibration data.

[0149] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 15 As shown, the host computer device 55 establishes a communication connection with the control device 53 to forward vibration data to the control device 53 of the automated transport equipment. The host computer device 55 centrally processes and displays the vibration data, while the control device 53 can adjust the transport parameters of the transport track assembly 51 based on the vibration data.

[0150] In another embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 16 As shown, the vibration measurement module 54 establishes a communication connection with the control device 53 and the host computer device 55, enabling simultaneous wireless communication with both. The control device 53 processes vibration data in real time to adjust transportation parameters, while the host computer device 55 displays vibration data and / or transportation data.

[0151] As one implementation method, the vibration measurement module 54 can simultaneously send vibration data to the control device 53 and the host computer device 55 via a broadcast mechanism, or send it to the control device 53 first, and then have it relay it to the host computer device 55 via wired or wireless means.

[0152] This disclosure also provides an automated transportation system, such as... Figure 17 As shown, it includes:

[0153] The system includes a transport track assembly 61, a moving module 62, a vibration measurement module 63, and a data processing device 64. The moving module 62 is mounted on the transport track assembly 61 and is magnetically coupled to the transport track assembly 61 to move along the transport track assembly 61.

[0154] A vibration measurement module 63 is disposed on the surface of the mobile module 62, and includes at least one vibration sensing module 631, a wireless communication module 632, and a power supply module 633. The vibration sensing module 631 measures the vibration of the mobile module 62 and outputs vibration data. The wireless communication module 632 establishes communication connections with both the vibration sensing module 631 and the data processing device 64, and transmits the vibration data from the vibration sensing module 631 to the data processing device 64. The power supply module 633 is connected to both the vibration sensing module 631 and the wireless communication module 632, and supplies power to both. The data processing device 64 processes the received vibration data.

[0155] In the above implementation method, Figure 12 The automatic transport equipment shown describes the internal structure integration of the equipment, including the cooperation relationship and functional implementation between the transport track assembly 51, the moving module 52, the control device 53 and the vibration measurement module 54.

[0156] And such Figure 17 As shown, the automated transportation system of this embodiment extends to the systematic collaboration of multiple modules, devices and / or components, especially the communication links, data transmission strategies and centralized control logic between the data processing device 64 and other modules and / or components.

[0157] It should be understood that the specific components, internal connections, and specific implementation methods of the vibration measurement module 63 can be referred to the contents of the above-mentioned transport components, and will not be repeated here. In addition, the positional relationship and setting method between the vibration measurement module 63 and the moving module 62 can also be referred to the contents of the above-mentioned transport components, and will not be repeated here.

[0158] In this embodiment, the automated transport system deploys a vibration measurement module 63 on each mobile module 62 and configures a data processing device 64 to achieve centralized management of the vibration status throughout the entire transport process. Using this automated transport system, the mechanical stability and possible abnormal vibration events of all mobile modules 62 during operation can be monitored in real time, reducing the risk of damage during goods transportation and improving system reliability and equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0159] In one implementation, the data processing device 64 may include a control device 640. Reference to the control device 640 is given above. Figure 12 The control device 53 shown is used to process vibration data and generate an abnormal vibration signal when abnormal vibration is detected. The control device 640 can be a PLC with industrial control functions, an edge computing node, or a customized embedded system.

[0160] In one embodiment, the control device 640 is electrically connected to the transport track assembly 61 and / or the moving module 62. The control device 640 not only undertakes the communication task with the vibration measurement module 63, but also acts as a control node, directly forming an electrical connection with the transport track assembly 61 and / or the moving module 62, thereby realizing real-time control of the transport status of the automated transport equipment. Specifically, the control device 640 is used to control the magnetic coupling between the transport track assembly 61 and the moving module 62, so that the moving module 62 moves along the transport track assembly 61. See also... Figure 12 The details of the automated transport equipment shown will not be elaborated here.

[0161] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the control device 640 includes:

[0162] A first control module 641 and a second control module 642, wherein the first control module 641 is electrically connected to the transport track assembly 61 and / or the moving module 62, and at least one of the first control module 641 and the second control module 642 establishes a communication connection with the wireless communication module 632.

[0163] In this embodiment, the first control module 641 is electrically connected to the transport track assembly 61 and / or the moving module 62, and is responsible for automatic transport parameter control, such as transport drive and speed control. At least one control module (e.g., the second control module 642) establishes a connection with the wireless communication module 632 to receive vibration data. This embodiment improves the scalability of the automatic transport system by dividing the control tasks of the control device 640. This embodiment does not limit the connection method between modules; the specific connection method can be at least one of wire connection and plug-in connection.

[0164] In this way, the division of labor and cooperation between the first control module 641 and the second control module 642 improves the system's control efficiency and data processing capabilities, and enhances the system's response to abnormal vibrations. Furthermore, it enables the automated transport system to adapt to the control needs of different areas and tasks in large transport lines, while also possessing stronger scalability and fault isolation capabilities.

[0165] For example, the first control module 641 drives the moving module 62, and the second control module 642 receives vibration data. The system operates in a coordinated manner to improve transportation efficiency.

[0166] In another embodiment, such as Figure 18 As shown, one of the control modules 641 and 642 establishes a communication connection with the wireless communication module 632, and a communication connection is established between the first control module 641 and the second control module 642.

[0167] For example, the second control module 642 receives vibration data through the wireless communication module 632. The first control module 641 and the second control module 642 establish a connection via serial communication or Ethernet, supporting bidirectional data transmission. The second control module 642 can be used to process the vibration data and forward the processing results to the first control module 641. The first control module 641 adjusts the driving parameters of the transport track assembly 61 and / or the moving module 62 according to the vibration data processing results. This embodiment does not limit the communication connection method between the first control module 641 and the second control module 642; the specific connection method can be at least one of wired or wireless connection.

[0168] This implementation ensures that the vibration measurement module 63 (such as...) Figure 17 The vibration data transmitted (as shown) can be shared and synchronously responded between the two-level control modules, improving the overall coordination and response speed of the automated transportation system and ensuring that vibration anomalies are dealt with in a timely manner.

[0169] In this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 17 The data processing device 64 may also include a display device 643 for displaying the received vibration data. The display device can present the vibration data in graphical or tabular form, such as displaying vibration waveforms or abnormal alarm information. The operator can intuitively understand the vibration situation through the display device, facilitating real-time monitoring and decision-making.

[0170] In one implementation, the display device 643 may be located on a host computer device. (See reference) Figures 12-16 The control device 53 and / or host computer device 55 shown can be connected to the wireless communication module 542 in various ways. Figure 15 The various connection methods between the control device 640 and / or display device 643 and the wireless communication module 632 shown are not described in detail here.

[0171] In this disclosure, such as Figure 19As shown, the automated transportation system also includes a routing module 65, through which the data processing device 64 establishes a connection with the wireless communication module 632. The routing module 65 acts as a relay node, enabling the automated transportation system to enhance wireless signal coverage in complex environments, avoid dead zones, interference, or packet loss that may occur during direct communication, and improve the overall communication reliability and scalability of the system. This embodiment does not limit the connection method between the routing module 65 and the data processing device 64; the specific connection method can be at least one of wired or wireless connection.

[0172] As an example implementation, the routing module 65 employs a relay device supporting Wi-Fi Mesh or Zigbee protocols, deployed at key nodes along the transport track assembly, maintaining a constant connection with multiple vibration measurement modules 63. The data processing device 64 connects to the routing module 65 through the main gateway, thereby indirectly establishing a communication link with the vibration measurement modules 63 to achieve long-distance, cross-regional data acquisition.

[0173] In some implementations, if the vibration measurement module 63 shares a common wireless communication module 632, then the routing module 65 establishes a communication connection with the shared wireless communication module 632. If the vibration measurement module 63 includes multiple vibration sensing modules 631 and corresponding multiple wireless communication modules 632, then each of the multiple wireless communication modules 632 establishes a communication connection with the routing module 65.

[0174] The above-described embodiments of this disclosure achieve real-time vibration detection by setting up a vibration measurement module. Combined with the control functions of automated transport equipment and the data processing capabilities of automated transport systems, a complete solution from detection to optimization is formed, thereby improving transport stability.
