Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation safety control, specifically to a personnel detection and safety control system based on the YOLO algorithm. Background Technology

[0002] During production line operation, it is necessary to detect whether personnel are close to the production line to avoid safety accidents. Traditional industrial automated production line personnel safety detection relies on infrared sensors or lidar, which has shortcomings such as blind spots, high false trigger rate, and inability to recognize dynamic postures.

[0003] Conventional image recognition algorithms (such as OpenCV background subtraction) are easily affected by changes in lighting and equipment occlusion in complex industrial scenarios, and their response delays are difficult to meet the requirements of real-time control.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a high-precision, low-latency personnel detection and safety control system based on the YOLO algorithm. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a personnel detection and safety control system based on the YOLO algorithm, in order to solve the problems of low accuracy and delay in existing safety control systems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a personnel detection and safety control system based on the YOLO algorithm. The system comprises a sensing module, an analysis module, and an execution module. The sensing module acquires real-time images of the production line, the analysis module analyzes the real-time images, and when a personnel is within the designated detection area of ​​the real-time image, the analysis module issues an alarm signal. Upon receiving the alarm signal, the execution module controls the segment production line to decelerate and stop or cease operation.

[0007] Furthermore, the sensing module includes a monitoring switch and multiple wide-angle network cameras. The monitoring switch is connected to each wide-angle network camera, and the multiple wide-angle network cameras cover the entire operating area of ​​the production line.

[0008] Furthermore, the analysis module includes: multiple detection modules, a display module, and an alarm module. Each wide-angle network camera is connected to one detection module, and the wide-angle network camera transmits the images it reads to the detection module. The detection module detects in real time whether a person is within the designated detection area. The display module is used to draw the detection area of ​​the wide-angle network camera and to display the real-time detection images, summarizing the results from multiple detection modules into a single window. The alarm module communicates with the execution module, sending the judgment results from the detection modules to the execution module.

[0009] Furthermore, all detection modules are connected to a display module, and all detection modules are also connected to an alarm module.

[0010] Furthermore, the detection module integrates the YOLO model.

[0011] Furthermore, the execution module includes a PLC and a production line driver. The PLC receives detection signals and controls the segment production line to decelerate, stop, or cease operation.

[0012] Furthermore, the wide-angle network camera should be installed 3-5 meters above the ground at a tilt angle of 30°.

[0013] Furthermore, wide-angle network cameras are deployed on the top and sides of the production line operating area.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] When the video stream is input to the detection module, the module uses the integrated YOLO model for image recognition. When a person is detected within the designated detection area, the module outputs a person bounding box and sends a detection signal to the PLC. The PLC then executes logic control to decelerate and stop the vehicle. The system provided by this invention achieves high-precision, low-latency personnel detection and directly links with production line control equipment to achieve proactive risk avoidance.

After receiving the alarm signal, the execution module controls the segment production line to decelerate and stop or cease operation.

[0020] Specifically, the sensing module includes a monitoring switch and multiple wide-angle network cameras. The monitoring switch is connected to each wide-angle network camera, and the multiple wide-angle network cameras cover the entire operating area of ​​the production line.

[0022] Specifically, all detection modules are connected to a display module, and all detection modules are also connected to an alarm module.

[0023] Specifically, the detection module integrates the YOLO model.

[0024] Specifically, the execution module includes a PLC and a production line driver. The PLC receives detection signals and controls the segment production line to decelerate, stop, or cease operation to ensure personnel safety.

[0025] Specifically, wide-angle network cameras should be installed 3-5 meters above the ground at a tilt angle of 30°.

[0026] Specifically, wide-angle network cameras are deployed on the top and sides of the production line operating area.

[0027] Specifically, the wide-angle network camera selected is the Hikvision DS-2CD3 series, with 4 megapixels and IP66 protection.

[0028] When the video stream is input to the detection module, the module uses the integrated YOLO model for image recognition. When a person is detected within the designated detection area, the module outputs a person bounding box and sends a detection signal to the PLC. The PLC then executes logic control to decelerate and stop the vehicle.
