Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1-3As shown, a train loading system for preventing overloading, uneven loading, and excessive height includes a loading control room 1, a carriage 5, a track 3, and monitoring devices. A discharge bin 7, a replenishment bin 9, and a flattener 8 are installed above the track 3 along which the carriage 5 passes. The monitoring devices include a first monitoring camera 10 and a second monitoring camera 11. The first monitoring camera 10 is mounted on one side above the track 3 along which the carriage 5 passes via a bracket, and is located behind the discharge bin 7 in the direction of carriage 5's travel. The second monitoring camera 11 is mounted on one side above the track 3 along which the carriage 5 passes via a bracket, and is located behind the replenishment bin 9 in the direction of carriage 5's travel. A track scale 4 is installed below the track 3, and the track scale 4 includes a pressure sensor 12 and a shear force sensor 13. The track scale 4 is controlled by a control console 2 inside the loading control room 1.

[0020] The flattener 8 consists of a flattener drive motor 24, a flattener drive wheel 25, a flattener driven wheel 26, a flattener counterweight 27, and a flattener limiting plate 28.

[0021] The flattener 8 is supported by flattener support columns 21 and flattener bracket 23 above the track 3 through which the carriage 5 passes. The flattener support columns 21 are set on both sides of the track 3, and the flattener bracket 23 is installed horizontally on the two flattener support columns 21. The flattener track 22 is set on the flattener bracket 23.

[0022] The flattener drive wheel 25 is connected to the flattener driven wheel 26 via a drive shaft; the flattener drive wheel 25 and the flattener driven wheel 26 are mounted on the flattener track 22 by the flattener limiting plate 28.

[0023] There are two shear force sensors 13 and two pressure sensors 12, which are installed below the track scale 4.

[0024] The replenishment bin 9 is located two car compartments 5 apart from the discharge bin 7.

[0025] The coke leveler 8 is positioned above the carriage 5 between the discharge hopper 7 and the replenishment hopper 9.

[0026] When the flattener 8 is in use, the flattener drive motor 24 drives the flattener drive wheel 25, which in turn moves the flattener driven wheel 26 and simultaneously moves the flattener counterweight 27 to perform flattening.

[0027] The coke leveler 8 runs in the opposite direction to the carriage 5, which improves the leveling efficiency. The coke leveler 8 can move back and forth to level the material, thus improving the leveling effect.

[0028] When the flattener 8 is in use, the flattener drive motor 24 drives the flattener drive wheel 25, which in turn moves the flattener driven wheel 26 and simultaneously moves the flattener counterweight 27 to perform flattening. The flattener counterweight 27 extends into the carriage to perform flattening operations.

[0029] The track scale 4 adopts the existing unattended electronic track scale. The existing track scale 4 is equipped with pressure sensor 12 and shear force sensor 13. The situation on the track scale 4 will be collected and identified by network transmission equipment and monitoring camera 10. The distribution of goods in the car 5 after the first discharge of material from the discharge bin 7 is transmitted to the loading control console. Then, the leveling device 8 is operated to perform leveling operation. After leveling, the monitoring camera 2 11 observes and controls the replenishment bin 9 to replenish material.

[0030] The system detects the loading weight of trains, monitors track pressure through dynamic measurement, provides alerts when the loading weight is about to be reached, and alarms and displays the location of deviations for overloading, underloading, uneven loading, and uneven weighting.

[0031] The train loading system to prevent overloading, uneven loading, and excessive height uses a binocular vision method: it calculates the three-dimensional distance between the top of the material and the upper edge of the car side by parallax. If the height exceeds the specified value, it is judged as excessive height, triggering an audible and visual alarm, and the operator then performs leveling operations.

[0032] Loading personnel use video surveillance to control loading equipment, either by closing it in advance or by adjusting the opening of the loading gate, in order to adjust the loading and prevent overloading, underloading, uneven loading, unbalanced loading, or excessive height.

[0033] Before the weighing process, the train cars, which are basically loaded, are first measured in height. Any cars exceeding the height limit are leveled. After leveling, the height is measured again. If the height is still too high, the car is leveled again. After leveling, the cars pass through an inspection platform equipped with a vehicle positioning system and a car number recognition system. After positioning, the platform measures for overweight and off-center loading. The weight of the loaded train is detected through track pressure sensors, a weighing module, and a data acquisition module. Dynamic track pressure monitoring primarily detects off-center loading and unbalanced loads, triggering alarms and displaying the location of the deviation. The vehicle status is displayed through an intelligent analysis platform, an operating platform, and a video acquisition and visualization terminal.

[0034] Loading personnel use video surveillance to control and supplement loading, adjusting the loading to prevent overloading, underloading, uneven loading, or uneven weighting.

[0035] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Anyone should know that any structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
