[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] It should be noted that in this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "more than one" means two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, not to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0024] In the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0025] Line marking equipment has a wide range of applications. For example, it's used for road marking, which involves using lines, arrows, text, vertical markings, raised pavement markers, and delineators to define boundaries on the road surface for traffic control and guidance. Another example is sports field marking, where it provides clear guidance by strategically planning the boundaries and signage for areas such as football fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, and running tracks. Due to its speed, efficiency, and accuracy, line marking equipment plays a significant role in urban planning, highway construction, and sports facilities, saving time and money on ground construction.

[0026] In practical applications, because freshly sprayed paint cannot cure quickly, the tires of the marking equipment or personnel on site must avoid the sprayed paint when using marking equipment, otherwise the marking effect will be compromised. Alternatively, it is necessary to wait for the sprayed paint to cure before the marking equipment tires can drive over it to spray other paints, which greatly extends the marking cycle of the entire site. Therefore, it is necessary to add a curing function to the marking equipment so that it can cure the sprayed paint in a timely manner.

[0027] In related technologies, a hot air supply function is often added to the marking equipment to quickly cure the sprayed paint. However, due to environmental limitations, this method suffers from poor curing results.

[0028] In view of the above problems, this application provides a curing treatment method, which determines the light intensity during curing treatment based on environmental information, and dynamically adjusts the light intensity according to the environmental information to avoid the influence of the environment on the curing effect and improve the curing effect; and determines the light type during curing treatment based on the coating type, and dynamically adjusts the light type according to the coating type so that the light emitted by the light source matches the characteristics of the coating, further improving the curing effect.

[0029] Figure 1 This is an application scenario diagram of the curing treatment method provided in some embodiments of this application. The curing treatment method is applied to a marking device 10, which performs marking operations. For example, when the marking device 10 moves, it sprays paint onto a surface to form lines, and then cures the lines. The surface to be painted includes flat surfaces such as walls and floors. This application embodiment uses a floor as an example for illustration. Figure 1 As shown, the line-marking device 10 can be a self-moving device, and the line-marking device 10 is communicatively connected to the requester 30. The communication connection can include wired and / or wireless communication methods, and the wireless communication can include one or more combinations of communication methods such as Bluetooth communication, Wi-Fi communication, and Near Field Communication (NFC).

[0030] In some embodiments, the requesting party 30 may include, but is not limited to, any electronic product that can interact with the customer via a keyboard, mouse, remote control, touchpad, or voice control device, such as a smartphone, personal computer, tablet computer, smart wearable device, etc. Smart wearable devices may include smartwatches, smart glasses, head-mounted displays, etc. Figure 1 The following explanation uses the example of requester 30 being a smartphone.

[0031] In some embodiments, the line marking device 10 is placed at any location on the ground. The requesting party 30 can input paint type and operating parameters into the line marking device 10. The paint type indicates the type of paint; for example, the paint type may include UV-curing paint and infrared-curing paint. Infrared-curing paint may include water-based acrylic and epoxy powder, etc., without limitation. The operating parameters include at least one of the following: line marking pattern, line attributes, and operating speed. The line marking pattern may include, but is not limited to, patterns of football fields, rugby fields, cricket fields, basketball courts, as well as restriction markings such as lines, arrows, text, facade markings, raised road signs, and delineators. Line attributes may include information such as line thickness and line color.

[0032] The line marking device 10 responds to the operating parameters input by the requester 30, plans the line marking path, and travels at the expected operating speed and line marking path. In response to the paint type input by the requester 30, it sprays the corresponding paint onto the ground to form lines on the ground and cures the lines, performing a line marking operation that sprays and cures simultaneously.

[0033] In the above application scenario, by communicating with the requester 30, the user can monitor the operating status of the line marking device 10 in real time and operate it remotely, thereby improving the convenience of operating the line marking device 10.

Figure 2 As shown, the line marking device 10 includes a frame 11, a travel assembly 12, and a line marking assembly 13. The frame 11 is the supporting and connecting component of the line marking device 10, ensuring its stable operation. The travel assembly 12, supported by the frame 11, drives the line marking device 10 to move. The line marking assembly 13, also supported by the frame 11, sprays the corresponding paint onto the ground to form lines, and cures the lines, performing a line marking operation that involves simultaneous spraying and curing.

[0035] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 12 includes a front wheel 121, a rear wheel 122, and a drive motor 123. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, both the front wheel 121 and the rear wheel 122 are rotatably mounted on the frame 11. A power motor 123 drives either the front wheel 121 or the rear wheel 122 to rotate. Optionally or additionally, the number of power motors 123 can be one or more. This embodiment uses two power motors 123 as an example. The power motors 123 include a first motor (not shown) and a second motor (not shown). Taking the front wheel 121 as a swivel wheel and the rear wheel 122 as a drive wheel as an example, the rear wheel 122 includes a left rear wheel and a right rear wheel. The first motor controls the rotation of the left rear wheel, and the second motor controls the rotation of the right rear wheel. The steering control of the marking device 10 is achieved by controlling the speed difference between the drive wheels using the first and second motors. The forward control of the marking device 10 is achieved by the synchronous forward rotation of the first and second motors, and the backward control of the marking device 10 is achieved by the synchronous reverse rotation of the first and second motors.

[0036] For ease of description, the front, back, left, and right directions defined in this application refer to the orientation of the marking device 10 when it is on a horizontal road surface. The front-back direction refers to the length direction of the marking device 10, and the left-right direction refers to the width direction of the marking device 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, the marking assembly 13 includes a support 131, a spraying component 132, and a lighting component 133.

The spraying component 132 is connected to the support 131 and faces the ground, for spraying paint onto the ground as the marking device 10 moves. The lighting component 133 is connected to the support 131 and is located on the side of the spraying component 132 opposite to the direction of movement of the marking device 10, for example, Figure 2 The arrows indicate the direction of movement of the marking device 10.

The filter nozzle 1322 is used to filter impurities in the paint. The spraying valve is used to control the flow rate of the paint. The paint pump is used to draw paint from the paint tank 1321, and the paint flows into the filter nozzle 1322 through the paint pipe 1324, where impurities are filtered out. The filtered paint enters the spraying valve, and the opening of the spraying valve is adjusted according to the spraying requirements to control the flow rate and pressure of the paint. For example, high-viscosity paint requires higher pressure, while spraying fine patterns requires lower flow rates. The filtered paint is fed into the nozzle position through the paint pipe 1324, and then sprayed onto the ground through the nozzle 1323.

[0039] In some embodiments, the marking assembly 13 further includes an air supply component 134, which is connected to the support component 131 and is located on the side of the spraying component 132 opposite to the moving direction of the marking device 10, for example, Figure 2 The arrows indicate the direction of movement of the marking device 10. The air supply component 134 is located on the right side of the spraying component 132 and is used to supply air to the paint sprayed by the marking device 10 to achieve curing. The air supply component 134 may include a fan, blower, or other equipment with air supply function.

[0040] In some embodiments, the scribing assembly 13 further includes a heating element 135, which is connected to the support member 131 and is located on the side of the spraying member 132 opposite to the moving direction of the scribing device 10, for example, Figure 2 The arrows indicate the direction of movement of the marking device 10.

The heating element 135 may include devices with heating functions such as heating resistors, air conditioners, and infrared lamps. In some embodiments, the air supply component 134 and the heating element 135 can be independent components. In other embodiments, the heating element 135 can be integrated into the air supply component 134. This application uses the integration of the heating element 135 into the air supply component 134 as an example for illustration.

[0041] In some embodiments, the marking assembly 13 further includes a line width baffle 136, which is located on the side of the driving assembly 12 and is used to limit the problem of inconsistent line width caused by different heights of the painted part 132 from the ground, external wind and other interference, so as to maintain the consistency of the line width.

[0042] In some embodiments, the marking device 10 further includes a feedback component 14, which is supported by a frame 11 and is used to collect environmental information when the marking device 10 moves.

[0066] In the marking device 10 provided in this application embodiment, by configuring the interaction component 16, the marking device 10 can communicate with the requester 30, enabling the user to monitor the operating status of the marking device 10 in real time and operate it remotely, thereby improving the convenience of operating the marking device 10; by configuring the feedback component 14, environmental information can be collected, enabling the marking component 13 to adjust relevant curing parameters (such as light intensity, light type, etc.) in combination with the environmental information, thereby avoiding the influence of the environment on the curing effect and improving the curing effect.

[0067] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a curing process provided in an embodiment of this application. Depending on different needs, the order of the steps in this flowchart can be adjusted according to actual requirements, and some steps can be omitted. The method is applied to marking equipment (e.g.,...). Figure 1 (10) marking devices in the middle, such as Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps.

[0068] S11, When the marking equipment is performing marking operations, determine the lighting type corresponding to the lighting component based on the type of paint used by the marking equipment.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the marking device 10 sprays paint onto the ground according to a planned marking path, the type of paint used by the marking device 10 is determined. The paint type is used to indicate the type of paint. For example, the paint type may include UV-curing paint and infrared-curing paint. Infrared-curing paint may include water-based acrylic and epoxy powder, etc., without limitation.

[0070] Because UV-curable and infrared-curable coatings are more sensitive to specific types of light, irradiating the coating with a light source can improve its curing effect. Therefore, the type of light corresponding to the irradiator is determined based on the type of coating. The type of light can include ultraviolet light, infrared light, etc., and is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, determining the type of light corresponding to the irradiator 133 based on the type of coating used in the marking device 10 includes: responding to the coating type input by the requester 30, and determining the type of light corresponding to the irradiator 133 based on a preset correspondence between coating types and irradiator types.

[0071] Optionally or additionally, the requester 30 may be, but is not limited to, any electronic product capable of human-computer interaction with a customer via a keyboard, mouse, remote control, touchpad, or voice control device, such as a smartphone, personal computer, tablet computer, smart wearable device, etc. Smart wearable devices may include smartwatches, smart glasses, head-mounted displays, etc. The requester 30 inputs the paint type to the marking device 10. The marking device 10 determines the corresponding lighting type by querying a pre-set correspondence between paint types and lighting types. For example, if the paint type is a UV-curing paint, the lighting type can be ultraviolet light; if the paint type is an infrared-curing paint, the lighting type can be infrared light.

[0072] This application embodiment pre-sets the correspondence between coating type and light type, determines the light type during curing based on the coating type, and dynamically adjusts the light type according to the coating type, so that the light emitted by the light source 133 matches the characteristics of the coating, thereby improving the curing effect.

[0073] S12, Based on the environmental information, determine the light intensity corresponding to the illuminator.

[0074] In some embodiments, environmental information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of wind speed information, wind direction information, temperature information, humidity information, and illumination information. Optionally or additionally, determining the illumination intensity corresponding to the illumination element 133 based on the environmental information includes: determining the illumination intensity corresponding to the illumination element 133 based on at least one of wind speed information, wind direction information, temperature information, humidity information, and illumination information.

[0075] The wind speed information can include ambient wind speed and duration of wind. Wind direction information can include prevailing wind direction, wind direction fluctuation range, and wind direction variation over time. Temperature information can include ambient temperature, temperature fluctuation range, and rate of temperature change. Humidity information can include relative humidity and absolute humidity. Light intensity information can include light intensity, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation.

[0076] Optionally or additionally, a light intensity determination model can be pre-trained. The input data of the light intensity determination model is at least one of wind speed information, wind direction information, temperature information, humidity information, and light intensity information, and the output data is light intensity. The light intensity determination model can be, but is not limited to, convolutional neural network models such as LeNet-5, AlexNet, VGGNet, ResNet, and Inception, or supervised learning models such as support vector machines. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0077] S13, based on the type and intensity of light, uses a light source to cure the coating after it has been sprayed by the marking equipment.

[0078] In some embodiments, the illumination element 133 cures the coating sprayed by the marking device 10 based on the illumination type and intensity, performing a marking operation that is sprayed and cured simultaneously.

[0082] The wind speed threshold can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.
