Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of warehouse reminder devices, and in particular to an emergency sound and light reminder device with an approach reminder function. Background Technology

[0002] In warehouses, logistics parks, and other similar locations, shipping containers are often densely packed. During operation, vehicles (such as forklifts and trucks) are prone to blind spots due to obstruction by the containers and confined spaces. When a vehicle approaches a container, the driver may have difficulty accurately judging the distance and relative position to the container, which can easily lead to a collision due to misjudgment. This can not only damage the container and goods but also potentially cause other safety accidents.

[0003] Existing devices for alerting vehicles to avoid obstacles often have functional limitations: some devices only provide alerts through sound or light, failing to dynamically adjust the alert intensity based on the distance between the vehicle and the container, making it difficult for drivers to intuitively perceive distance changes; some devices lack targeted detection ranges, with sensor signals from multiple detection directions easily overlapping and interfering, reducing detection accuracy; furthermore, existing devices have poor adaptability to different installation scenarios (such as the external corners, sides, and internal corners of containers), making it difficult to flexibly adjust the detection direction, and lack convenient reset or switching mechanisms, resulting in cumbersome operation during use, failing to effectively cope with complex warehouse operating environments, and failing to fundamentally solve the collision risks caused by blind spots. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing an emergency sound and light reminder device with an approach reminder function.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: This utility model provides an emergency audible and visual alert device with an approach warning function, the alert device comprising: A column, the side of which has multiple detection surfaces; The device includes several distance sensors, with at least one distance sensor installed on each detection surface. The distance sensors are used to identify the distance between an object within the detection range and the alerting device, and to generate distance data. An illumination lamp is installed on the top of the column. The illumination lamp has an illumination surface corresponding to the detection surface, and each illumination surface has an independent light source. A loudspeaker, installed inside the column, is used to produce sound; A controller is used to receive distance data from the distance sensor; the speaker is electrically connected to the controller; and the lighting lamp is electrically connected to the controller. When the distance sensor detects an object approaching, it sends distance data to the controller. The controller then controls the lighting to illuminate the room based on the distance data, and simultaneously controls the speaker to emit sound.

[0006] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following: 1. This device, through the coordinated action of a distance sensor, lighting, and speaker, can dynamically adjust the brightness, color, and sound frequency of the lighting according to the distance between the object and the device, forming a multi-dimensional warning mechanism. This allows the driver to intuitively perceive changes in distance, make timely avoidance judgments, and effectively reduce the risk of collision. 2. The device has multiple detection surfaces and corresponding independent lighting surfaces. When the distance sensor in a specific direction detects an object, only the lighting surface in that direction lights up, clearly indicating the direction of danger and helping the driver quickly determine the location of the container, thus improving the pertinence and effectiveness of the warning. 3. The detection surface uses a funnel-shaped recessed area to install the distance sensor, which can limit the detection range angle, reduce the overlap of areas in different detection directions, improve the detection accuracy of the distance sensor in a specific direction, and avoid misjudgment caused by signal interference. 4. Equipped with a remote control, the distance sensor can be remotely switched on and off and reset. Depending on the installation scenario of the device in different locations such as the external corner, side, or internal corner of the container, the sensor facing the container can be flexibly turned off, leaving only the sensor in the effective detection direction working, thus improving the adaptability and flexibility of the device in complex environments. 5. The overall structural design takes into account both functionality and practicality. Through modular sensors, lighting and control components, it realizes dynamic adjustment and scene adaptation of the reminder function, is easy to operate, and can effectively deal with the blind spot problem in warehouses and other places, thus improving operational safety.

[0013] The names of the messages or information exchanged between the multiple devices in this embodiment of the invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0014] An emergency audible and visual alert device with proximity warning function, the alert device includes: The column 10 has multiple detection surfaces 12 on its side, preferably four detection surfaces 12, and the column 10 has a cuboid structure. The distance sensor 20 is a plurality of such sensors, with at least one distance sensor 20 installed on each detection surface 12. The distance sensor 20 is used to identify the distance between an object within the detection range and the alerting device and to generate distance data. If there are multiple objects within the detection range, only the distance data of the closest object is generated. The distance sensor 20 is a microwave sensor. An illumination lamp 30 is installed on the top of the column 10. The illumination lamp 30 has an illumination surface 31 corresponding to the detection surface 12. Each illumination surface 31 has an independent light source. The independent light source uses a full-color LED light source, which can adjust the brightness and color. Preferably, the color can be changed from red to green. A speaker 50 is installed inside the column 10 for emitting sound. Preferably, the speaker 50 can emit beeping sounds of different frequencies. The controller 40 is used to receive distance data generated by the distance sensor 20. The speaker 50 is electrically connected to the controller 40, and the lighting lamp 30 is electrically connected to the controller 40. When the distance sensor 20 detects an object approaching, it sends distance data to the controller 40. The controller 40 controls the lighting lamp 30 to provide illumination based on the distance data. Specifically, the controller 40 controls the lighting lamp 30 to provide illumination based on the distance data in the following ways: the brightness of the lighting lamp 30 increases as the distance data value decreases and decreases as the distance data value increases; the color of the lighting lamp 30 gradually shifts towards red as the distance data value decreases and gradually shifts towards green as the distance data value increases.

[0015] At the same time, the controller 40 also controls the speaker 50 to emit a sound; the speaker 50 is used to emit a beeping sound; specifically, the controller 40 controls the speaker 50 to emit a sound by: the frequency of the beeping sound of the speaker 50 increases as the distance data value decreases, and decreases as the distance data value increases.

[0016] This serves as a warning to vehicles about to collide with the container, preventing collisions due to blind spots. Drivers can also judge the distance between their vehicle and the warning device based on color changes and the frequency of the beeping sound.

[0017] Based on the above-described structure, the reminder device further includes: Remote controller 60 is connected to controller 40 via remote control signal. Remote controller 60 can remotely send a first signal and a second signal to controller 40. When controller 40 receives the first signal, it controls the distance sensor 20 that detects the object to be turned off. When controller 40 receives the second signal, it controls the distance sensor 20 that has been turned off to be turned on.

[0018] like Figure 6 As shown, if the reminder device is placed at the outer corner of the container, one of the detection surfaces 12 of the reminder device needs to be aligned with the container. At this time, only one distance sensor 20 detects the distance data. After the operator moves out of the detection range of the other three distance sensors 20, the operator sends the first signal to the controller 40 through the remote controller 60. At this time, the distance sensor 20 that detects the distance data turns off, and the other three distance sensors 20 turn on, so that it can be used.

[0019] like Figure 7 As shown, if the reminder device is placed on the side of the container, two of the detection surfaces 12 of the reminder device need to be aligned with the container. At this time, two distance sensors 20 will detect the distance data. After the operator moves out of the detection range of the other two distance sensors 20, the operator sends the first signal to the controller 40 through the remote controller 60. At this time, the two distance sensors 20 that have detected the distance data will turn off, and the other two distance sensors 20 will turn on, and the device can be used.

[0020] like Figure 8 As shown, if the reminder device is placed in the inner corner of the container, the three detection surfaces 12 of the reminder device need to be aligned with the container. At this time, three distance sensors 20 will detect the distance data. After the operator moves out of the detection range of another distance sensor 20, the operator sends the first signal to the controller 40 through the remote control 60. At this time, the three distance sensors 20 that have detected the distance data will turn off, and the other distance sensor 20 will turn on, and it can be used.

[0021] When it is necessary to move the reminder device or reset the distance sensor 20 of the reminder device, a second signal can be sent through the remote control 60 to turn on all the distance sensors 20 that are turned off, so as to perform the reset.

[0022] Based on the further improvements to the above structure, the lighting lamp 30 has four corresponding lighting surfaces 31. For example, distance sensors 20 A, B, C, and D correspond to lighting surfaces 31 A, B, C, and D. When distance sensor 20 A detects an object entering the detection range, lighting surface 31 A lights up, while the lighting lamps 30 on lighting surfaces 31 B, C, and D turn off, and so on. This enhances the directional targeting of the warning device. In situations with many blind spots, the vehicle driver knows which direction the warning device is in, and thus which direction the container is in, making it easier to make a judgment.

[0023] like Figure 3 The detection surface 12 shown has a recessed region 11, which has a funnel-shaped structure. The distance sensor 20 is installed at the bottom of the recessed region 11, which can limit the angle of the detection range of the distance sensor 20 and reduce the overlapping area of ​​the fan-shaped detection area of ​​the distance sensor 20. Figure 4 and Figure 3 The comparison shows that Figure 4 The area of ​​the overlapping region is greater than Figure 3 The area of ​​the overlapping region is increased to enhance the detection accuracy of the distance sensor 20 in the detection direction.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0025] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present invention.
