[0019] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses an open-pit mine car dispatching terminal system, comprising a fuel consumption detection module 1, a communication module 2, a controller module 3, and a timing module 4. The fuel consumption detection module 1 is mounted on the mine car's fuel tank, and its output is communicatively connected to the input of the communication module 2. The output of the communication module 2 is electrically connected to the input of the controller module 3, used to monitor the mine car's fuel consumption. The output of the timing module 4 is electrically connected to the input of the controller module 3, used to record the driver's driving time.
[0021] It should be noted that the fuel consumption detection module 1 is installed on the mine car's fuel tank, preferably using a Dytran4600-A1-3 channel vibration recorder. This module is based on the piezoelectric effect and monitors the vibration characteristics caused by the mass change of the fuel tank due to fuel consumption, outputting an electrical signal corresponding to fuel consumption. The communication module 2 serves as the system's data hub, including a wireless transmitting unit 21 and a wireless receiving unit 22. It is responsible for receiving electrical signals from the fuel consumption detection module and remotely transmitting the data to the next level via a 4G / 5G cellular network or a dedicated wireless network in the mining area. The controller module 3 consists of an onboard industrial computer or a high-performance microprocessor. It receives and processes fuel consumption data from the communication module and driving time data from the timing module, and can integrate information from the positioning module and the sensing module to execute predetermined logical judgments. The timing module is tightly coupled to the controller module. When the driver successfully logs into the system through the sensing module, this module automatically starts and accurately records the driver's continuous driving time.
[0022] Understandably, the introduction of timing module 4 effectively prevents driver fatigue incidents, ensuring safe transportation in open-pit mines, improving transportation efficiency, and protecting driver safety. The fuel consumption detection module 1 can obtain vehicle fuel consumption data, providing a data foundation for fleet energy efficiency management. Managers can identify high-fuel-consumption vehicles, optimize transportation routes and driving behaviors, thereby effectively reducing fuel consumption, achieving emission reduction and carbon reduction, and improving the efficiency of open-pit mine transportation.
[0023] The communication module 2 in this embodiment includes a wireless transmitting unit 21 and a wireless receiving unit 22. The output terminal of the fuel consumption detection module 1 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the wireless transmitting unit 21, the output terminal of the wireless transmitting unit 21 is communicatively connected to the input terminal of the wireless receiving unit 22, and the output terminal of the wireless receiving unit 22 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the controller module 3 to monitor the amount of fuel consumed.
[0024] It should be noted that the fuel consumption detection module 1 installed on the mine car's fuel tank monitors fuel level changes in real time and generates corresponding electrical signals. These signals are then directly transmitted to the wireless transmission unit 21, which is also located on the mine car itself. The wireless transmission unit 21 consists of a low-power wireless transmission chip, an encoder, and a transmitting antenna. It is responsible for modulating the fuel consumption electrical signal onto a specific wireless frequency band, encrypting and framing it, and then transmitting it in the form of radio electromagnetic waves within a local space. The wireless receiving unit 22, installed in the mine car's cab or at a specific location on the vehicle body, captures the wireless signal through its receiving antenna. The wireless receiving unit 22 includes a receiving antenna, a decoder, and a signal processing circuit. It is responsible for demodulating, decoding, and verifying the signal, restoring it to the original fuel consumption electrical signal, and finally transmitting it to the controller module for data processing and analysis, thereby completing the remote, non-contact monitoring of fuel consumption.
[0025] This embodiment transmits fuel consumption signals via wireless communication, effectively overcoming the problems of easy wear and breakage of wired connections caused by the large size and severe vibration of mining trucks, thus improving system reliability.
[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the communication module 2 is one or more of Bluetooth, WIFI, 3G, 4G and 5G.
[0027] This embodiment also includes a fuel consumption display module 5 and a fuel consumption alarm module 6, wherein the fuel consumption display module 5 and the fuel consumption alarm module 6 are both electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller module 3. The fuel consumption display module 5 is used to display fuel consumption; the fuel consumption alarm module 6 is used to issue an alarm when the fuel level is lower than a threshold.
[0028] It should be noted that the controller module 3 processes and calculates the raw signals collected by the fuel consumption detection module 1 and transmitted through the communication module 2 to obtain the vehicle's fuel consumption data and estimated remaining fuel level in real time. Subsequently, the controller module 3 sends the fuel consumption data to the fuel consumption display module 6, which is a digital instrument or LCD screen, to provide the driver with an intuitive reading of the fuel consumption. At the same time, the controller module 3 continuously compares the calculated remaining fuel level with the preset minimum safety threshold. Once it determines that the fuel level is lower than the threshold, it immediately sends a command to the fuel consumption alarm module 7 to trigger the audible and visual alarm to warn the driver.
[0029] This embodiment visualizes fuel consumption data and sets a low fuel warning, enabling drivers to monitor fuel consumption in real time and take timely countermeasures. This effectively avoids vehicle breakdowns due to running out of fuel, ensuring the continuity of transportation tasks and production efficiency.
[0030] This embodiment also includes a sensing module 7, wherein the output terminal of the sensing module 7 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the controller module 3, and the sensing module 7 identifies the driver's identity information through an ID card.
[0031] It should be noted that when a driver touches their personal ID card to the sensing module 7, the sensing module 7 reads the encrypted identity information in the card. The sensing module 7 is an RFID card reader. Subsequently, the identity data is sent to the controller module 3. The controller module 3 compares and verifies the received ID information with the driver database pre-stored in the system, thereby completing the identity recognition and login authentication.
[0032] This embodiment uses ID card recognition technology to achieve fast and accurate binding of driver identity, which facilitates the subsequent recording of personal driving time.
[0033] This embodiment also includes a positioning module 8, wherein the input end of the positioning module 8 is electrically connected to the output end of the communication module 2, and the output end of the positioning module 8 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller module 3, for obtaining the current positioning information of the mining vehicle.
[0034] It should be noted that the positioning module 8 receives navigation satellite signals through the antenna in the communication module 2 connected to it; the positioning module 8 integrates a GPS chip, and the positioning module 8 parses and calculates the received raw signals to obtain the equipment's latitude, longitude, speed, time and other raw positioning data; subsequently, this processed positioning information is sent to the controller module 3 to obtain the current positioning information of the mining truck.
[0035] This embodiment integrates positioning functionality to accurately track the location and trajectory of mining trucks within the mining area in real time, providing crucial spatial data support for production scheduling, route optimization, safety monitoring, and emergency rescue, and greatly improving the level of precision in mine management.
[0036] In this embodiment, the positioning module 8 includes a positioning information receiving unit 81, a positioning information processing unit 82, and a positioning alarm unit 83. The input terminal of the positioning information receiving unit 81 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the positioning information processing unit 82, and the positioning information receiving unit 81 is used to receive positioning information from satellites. The output terminal of the positioning information processing unit 82 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the controller module 3, and the positioning information processing unit 82 is used to process and obtain the current positioning information of the mining vehicle. The input terminal of the positioning alarm unit 83 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller module 3.
[0037] It should be noted that the positioning information receiving unit 81 captures navigation satellite signals and sends them as raw data to the positioning information processing unit 82. The positioning information processing unit 82 decodes, calculates, and transforms the raw signals to obtain the precise latitude and longitude coordinates of the mining truck. The processed and effective positioning information is continuously output to the controller module 3 for map display, trajectory recording, and scheduling judgment. At the same time, the positioning information processing unit 82 performs self-diagnosis in real time. Once it detects continuous loss of satellite signals or serious data abnormalities, it determines that the positioning system is faulty and immediately activates the positioning alarm unit 83 to issue a positioning failure warning to the driver and the system.
[0038] This embodiment, through the cooperation of independent units for receiving, processing, and alarming positioning signals, not only ensures the accurate acquisition of location data, but also realizes real-time monitoring and fault alarm of the positioning system's own working status, greatly improving the reliability and trustworthiness of the entire card adjustment system's position-dependent function.
[0039] This embodiment also includes a duration alarm module 9, whose input terminal is electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller module 3, and is used to issue an alarm reminder when the recorded driver driving time exceeds a threshold.
[0040] It should be noted that the controller module 3 continuously obtains the current driver's cumulative driving time from the timing module 4 and compares it with the internally preset fatigue driving time threshold (such as 6 hours) in real time. Once the driving time is detected to exceed the threshold, the controller module 3 immediately sends a trigger signal to the duration alarm module 9. After receiving the signal, the duration alarm module 9 activates the audible and visual alarm device to remind the driver that he / she needs to rest. At the same time, the alarm is uploaded to the central control module 11 and sent to the dispatch center.
[0041] This embodiment, by setting a driving time threshold and automatically triggering an alarm, can effectively intervene and prevent drivers from driving while fatigued due to long working hours, thereby significantly reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by this and ensuring the safety of personnel and mine production.
[0042] This embodiment also includes a terminal display 10, the input terminal of which is electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller module 3, for displaying driver basic information, location information, map information and driving time.
[0043] It should be noted that the controller module 3 integrates the driver's basic information obtained from the sensing module 7, the positioning and map information calculated from the positioning module 8, and the driving time accumulated from the timing module 4, and outputs it to the terminal display 10 to present it intuitively to the driver, enabling him to fully grasp the vehicle's operating status.
[0044] This embodiment also includes a central control module 11, wherein the output end of the controller module 3 is communicatively connected to the input end of the central control module 11, and is used to transmit the fuel consumption and driving time of the mining truck to the background for monitoring.
[0045] It should be noted that this embodiment realizes the data connection between the vehicle terminal and the dispatch center through the central control module 11, enabling the manager to monitor the energy consumption and key performance indicators of all mining trucks in real time from a global perspective, providing accurate data decision support for the scientific dispatching of the fleet, energy efficiency optimization and safety management.
[0046] Working principle: The driver completes identity authentication by swiping his personal ID card through the sensor module 7; after the system login is successful, the controller module 3 activates the timing module 4 to start accumulating the driver's driving time and displays the driver's basic information on the terminal display 10; The fuel consumption detection module 1 monitors the vibration of the fuel tank in real time and generates an electrical signal. The positioning module 8 receives satellite signals and obtains the real-time location information of the vehicle after being processed by the internal processing unit. The above data is transmitted to the controller module 3 along with the duration data of the timing module 4 through the wireless link of the communication module 2. The controller module 3 converts the fuel consumption signal into an intuitive fuel level reading and compares it with a preset threshold to determine if the fuel level is low; it continuously compares driving time with the fatigue driving threshold; it processes the location information and matches it with the electronic map. When an anomaly is detected, the corresponding alarm module is immediately triggered: the duration alarm module 9 is triggered to remind drivers of fatigue; the fuel consumption alarm module 6 is triggered to warn of low fuel level; and the positioning alarm unit 83 is triggered to indicate a positioning fault. The controller module 3 uploads all vehicle operation data to the central control module 11 in the dispatch center in real time, enabling centralized monitoring of the entire fleet.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
