Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of truck loading alignment technology, and in particular to a truck loading alignment device for open-pit mines. Background Technology

[0002] Existing truck alignment technologies primarily employ a combination of mechanical structures, LiDAR positioning, and visual recognition systems. In practical applications, LiDAR positioning systems, by emitting laser beams and receiving reflected signals, can accurately measure the distance and angle between the truck and the loading point, achieving centimeter-level accuracy. However, they are susceptible to the effects of mining dust and inclement weather, leading to deviations in the measurement data. Visual recognition systems typically use industrial-grade high-definition cameras, coupled with dedicated image processing algorithms, to capture the truck's outline features in real time. However, they require regular lens cleaning and adequate lighting, and their recognition performance significantly decreases at night or in low visibility conditions. Furthermore, their mechanical structures are complex and difficult to maintain. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Before providing a further detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model, the directional terms used in the embodiments of this utility model, such as "upper part", "lower part" and "side part", do not have the meaning of limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a truck loading alignment device 100 for open-pit mines, the truck loading alignment device 100 comprising: The substrate 110 has a prompting element on it, and the prompting element is located at the center of the substrate 110. A positioning component 120 is provided. Multiple positioning components 120 are disposed outside the prompting component, and the space formed by the multiple positioning components 120 is capable of accommodating the loading device 200. The positioning component 120 is configured to measure the distance to the loading device 200. The positioning component 120 includes a mounting post 122 and a housing 123 that is fitted onto the mounting post 122. A distance measuring module is provided on the mounting post 122. The housing 123 is configured to reciprocate on the mounting post 122, and the distance measuring module is exposed or covered during the movement of the housing 123.

[0024] The truck loading alignment device 100 includes a base plate 110 and multiple positioning components 120 disposed on the base plate 110. The space formed by the multiple positioning components 120 facilitates the entry of the loading equipment 200. The base plate 110 is equipped with a prompting element to help the loading equipment 200 accurately locate the loading position even in nighttime environments. Each positioning component 120 includes a mounting post 122 and a housing 123. The housing 123 is fitted over the mounting post 122 and is slidably connected to it. The mounting post 122 is equipped with a distance measuring module. The distance between the vehicle loading equipment 200 and the distance measuring module indicates whether the loading equipment 200 is in the correct loading position. When the loading device 200 begins to approach the substrate 110, the positioning component 120 is activated, and the housing 123 moves. At this time, the housing 123 is in the working position, exposing the ranging module. The ranging module measures whether the distance between it and the loading device 200 is within the set range. When the loading device 200 is completely on the substrate 110, the loading device 200 is in position. At this time, the housing 123 moves again to cover the ranging module, preventing sand and gravel fragments from being ejected onto the ranging module during the loading process, which would affect the service life of the ranging module. At the same time, it can prevent the ranging module from being exposed to harsh environments for a long time, thereby improving the service life and accuracy of the positioning component 120.

[0025] Specifically, when the loading device 200 needs to load, it reverses into the base plate 110. The indicator on the base plate 110 indicates its location, which helps the loading device 200 to accurately enter the base plate 110. At the same time, after the subsequent identification component 130 identifies the license plate of the loading device 200, it controls the housing 123 of the positioning component 120 to move to the working position, exposing the distance measuring module to measure the distance of the loading device 200. When the actual measured value is not within the range set by the distance measuring module, an alarm is issued, indicating that the position of the loading device 200 is not accurate. The driver makes adjustments until the distance monitored by the distance measuring module meets the set range and no alarm is issued, indicating that the loading device 200 has entered the loading position accurately, which facilitates the subsequent loading of the loading device 200 and improves loading efficiency.

[0026] It is understandable that a weight sensor could also be installed on the substrate 110 at the initial position where the loading device 200 enters. Once the weight sensor detects weight, it is feasible to control the housing 123 of the positioning assembly 120 to move to the working position. After the loading device 200 has fully entered the loading position, the housing 123 of the positioning assembly 120 can be controlled to move to the non-working position to protect the ranging module inside the positioning assembly 120 and prevent the harsh environment of the open-pit mine from affecting the service life of the ranging module.

[0027] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first mounting groove is provided at the center of the substrate 110. The prompting device also includes a first indicator light 111 and a transparent protective shell 112. The first indicator light 111 matches the first mounting groove. The transparent protective shell 112 covers the first indicator light 111 for searching books, and the transparent protective shell 112 is detachably connected to the substrate 110.

[0028] A first mounting groove is provided at the center of the substrate 110. The shape of the first indicator light 111 matches the first mounting groove, and at least part of the first indicator light 111 is located within the first mounting groove, thus enabling the installation of the first indicator light 111. Normally, when the loading equipment 200 enters the loading position, the first indicator light 111 is positioned directly below the loading equipment 200, and the wheels of the loading equipment 200 typically do not touch the first indicator light 111. However, to prevent damage to the first indicator light 111 due to operational errors, a transparent protective shell 112 can be provided outside the first indicator light 111. The transparent protective shell 112 encloses the first indicator light 111 and is substantially detachably connected, facilitating the replacement of the transparent protective shell 112 and the maintenance of the first indicator light 111. Simultaneously, the transparent protective shell 112 also prevents the first indicator light 111 from being exposed, reducing damage to the first indicator light 111 from sand and gravel in the open-pit mine and extending the service life of the first indicator light 111.

[0029] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning component 120 also includes: Mounting base 121 is fixedly connected to base plate 110, and mounting post 122 is fixedly disposed on mounting base 121; An electric telescopic rod 124 is provided at one end of the mounting column 122 away from the mounting base 121. One end of the electric telescopic rod 124 is fixedly connected to the mounting column 122, and the other end of the electric telescopic rod 124 is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 123 facing the mounting column 122.

[0030] Typically, the projected area of ​​the mounting base 121 on the substrate 110 is larger than the projected area of ​​the mounting post 122 on the substrate 110. Therefore, using the mounting base 121 as a support can improve the stability of the positioning component 120 and prevent the positioning component 120 from being too large, which would result in an excessively large overall footprint of the truck loading alignment device 100. An electric telescopic rod 124 is usually provided between the mounting post 122 and the housing 123 to enable the reciprocating movement of the housing 123 on the mounting post 122. The smooth extension and retraction speed of the electric telescopic rod 124 improves the stability of the reciprocating movement of the housing 123.

[0031] In one feasible embodiment, a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole are provided on the same side of the mounting post 122. An infrared ranging sensor 125 is provided in the first mounting hole, and the test end of the infrared ranging sensor 125 is set towards the housing 123. A second indicator light 126 is provided in the second mounting hole. The housing 123 is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. When the housing 123 is in the working position, the first through hole is aligned with the infrared ranging sensor 125 and the second through hole is aligned with the second indicator light 126. When the housing 123 is not in the working position, the housing 123 is configured to cover the infrared ranging sensor 125 and the second indicator light 126.

[0032] The ranging module includes an infrared ranging sensor 125 and a second indicator light 126. The infrared ranging sensor 125 and the second indicator light 126 are set in the height direction of the mounting column 122. Usually, the second indicator light 126 is located below the infrared ranging sensor 125. This ensures that the infrared ranging sensor 125 can be aligned with the position of the loading equipment 200, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the ranging.

[0033] Specifically, after the loading device 200 enters the base plate 110, the control housing 123 moves upward, exposing the infrared ranging sensor 125 and the second indicator light 126. The second indicator light 126 increases in brightness, improving the reliability of the loading device 200 during reversing and enhancing its stability during nighttime operation. The infrared ranging sensor 125 detects the distance to the loading device 200, preventing the loading device 200 from being too large, which could lead to alignment errors during loading and improve the reliability and stability of loading.

[0034] In one feasible implementation, the mounting post 122 is provided with a slide or slider, and the housing 123 is provided with a slider or slide at a corresponding position. The slide is provided with a first limiting block and a second limiting block. When the slider contacts the first limiting block, the housing 123 is in the working position. When the slider contacts the second limiting block, the housing 123 is in the non-working position.

[0035] It should be noted that, since the housing 123 has a certain length, it may wobble during movement, causing damage to the ranging module. Therefore, a slider or slide rail can be installed on the side of the mounting post 122 that avoids the ranging module. Similarly, a slide rail or slider can be installed at the corresponding position on the housing 123. Matching sliders further ensures the stability and reliability of the housing 123's movement, prevents wobbling of the housing 123 on the mounting post 122, and improves the reliability of the ranging module's working environment.

[0036] Furthermore, a first limit block and a second limit block can be set inside the slide. The first limit block is located above the second limit block. When the slider touches the first limit block, it indicates that the first through hole is aligned with the infrared ranging sensor 125, and the second through hole is aligned with the second indicator light 126. The housing 123 is in the working position, and the electric telescopic rod 124 stops extending. When the slider touches the second limit block, it indicates that the first through hole is located between the infrared ranging sensor 125 and the second indicator light 126, and the second through hole is located below the second indicator light 126. The housing 123 is in the non-working position, and the electric telescopic rod 124 stops retracting. At this time, the housing 123 completely covers the ranging module, thus protecting the ranging module.

[0037] It is understandable that when the housing 123 is in the non-working position, that is, when the slider touches the second limit block, the bottom end of the housing 123 can contact the mounting base 121, thereby achieving overall coverage of the mounting post 122, preventing flying sand and stones from entering the housing 123 and the mounting post 122, and affecting the working life of the infrared ranging sensor 125 and the second indicator light 126.

[0038] In one feasible implementation, the mounting post 122 is provided with a plurality of second indicator lights 126, the plurality of second indicator lights 126 having the same height, and the housing 123 is provided with a plurality of second through holes, the plurality of second through holes being aligned with the plurality of second indicator lights 126 respectively when the housing 123 is in the working position.

[0039] One infrared ranging sensor 125 can be provided, and the probe of the infrared ranging sensor 125 shoots towards the loading device 200 through the first through hole. At the same time, multiple second indicator lights 126 can be provided. The multiple second indicator lights 126 are located on the outer periphery of the mounting post 122, and each second indicator light 126 corresponds to a second through hole. The setting of multiple second indicator lights 126 can improve the brightness in dark environments and improve the reliability of the loading device 200 entering the loading position.

[0040] In one feasible implementation, the truck loading alignment device 100 further includes: The identification component 130 is fixedly disposed on the substrate 110. The identification component 130 is located at one end of the substrate 110, and when the loading device 200 enters, the identification component 130 is configured to identify the license plate of the loading device 200.

[0041] The recognition component 130 can identify the license plate of the loading device 200, which facilitates subsequent statistics, such as which loading device 200 the object to be loaded is loaded into and where it is transported to, thus improving the accuracy of loading.

[0042] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 4a , Figure 4b and Figure 5 As shown, the identification component 130 includes: The bracket 131 is fixedly disposed at one end of the base plate 110; Mounting box 132 is disposed at the end of bracket 131 away from substrate 110, and mounting box 132 is provided with a third through hole; Camera component 134 is installed inside mounting box 132. Camera component 134 is used to capture the license plate of the loading device 200. The camera of camera component 134 is aligned with the third through hole of the book search. The protective component 133 is disposed inside the mounting box 132 and is located on the camera side of the camera component 134; The information transceiver processing device 136 is installed in the mounting box 132 and is connected to the camera assembly and the positioning assembly 120 respectively. A cooling fan 138 is disposed inside the mounting box 132, and the cooling fan 138 is located at the end of the camera assembly 134 away from the camera. The air outlet is located on the mounting box 132, and the position of the air outlet corresponds to that of the cooling fan 138. Rainproof baffle 139 is installed on the air outlet.

[0043] The bracket 131 is designed to allow the camera assembly 134 to be aligned with the license plate of the loading device 200, while the mounting box 132 provides protection for the internal components. The camera of the camera assembly 134 faces the third through-hole and the license plate of the loading device 200, facilitating the transmission of the captured license plate to the information transceiver processing device 136. Simultaneously, the monitoring distance value of the infrared range sensor 125 is also transmitted to the information transceiver processing device 136. The infrared range sensor 125 ensures that the vehicle-mounted equipment enters the loading position accurately and relatively centrally. Furthermore, the monitoring distance value of the infrared range sensor 125 is used in the information transceiver processing device 136 to calculate the accurate position of the loading device 200 and transmit this position information to the loading and unloading equipment to indicate the loading location. During loading, the camera assembly 134 identifies and records the license plate and transmits it to the information transceiver processing device 136 for subsequent statistical analysis.

[0044] It should be noted that the protective component 133 is positioned in front of the camera to prevent dust and sand from directly impacting the camera through the third through-hole. This improves the clarity of the image information recorded by the camera component 134 and extends the lifespan of the camera within the camera component 134. A cooling fan 138 is installed inside the mounting box 132 to dissipate the heat generated by the camera component 134 and the protective component 133 during operation, thereby extending the maintenance cycle and lifespan of the camera component 134 and the protective component 133. Because of the cooling fan 138, an air outlet is required on the mounting box 132 to prevent excessive pressure inside. Furthermore, since the truck-mounted alignment device 100 operates outdoors, a rainproof baffle 139 is installed on the air outlet to prevent rainwater from directly entering the mounting box 132 and affecting the lifespan of the components within it.

[0045] Understandably, the rainproof baffle 139 is tilted downwards (towards the bracket 131) to prevent rainwater from directly entering the mounting box 132. Simultaneously, the protective component 133 is positioned as close as possible to the third passage hole, also providing some protection for it. If the rainfall is too heavy, loading will not be performed. In this case, a rainproof cloth can be covered to prevent excessive rainwater from entering the mounting box 132, thus protecting the components within the identification component 130 for normal subsequent use.

[0046] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the camera assembly 134 has partitions on both sides, and one end of each partition is connected to a baffle 135. The camera assembly 134 is located within the space enclosed by the partitions and the baffle 135. The protective assembly 133 includes: A fixing plate 1331 is disposed on the side of the partition away from the camera assembly 134. The fixing plate 1331 is located inside the mounting box 132. The fixing plate 1331 has a through hole in the center. A rotating plate 1332 is movably connected in the through hole. Each partition is equipped with one fixing plate 1331. Square rod 1333 is disposed on one side of rotating plate 1332; Motor 1334 is located on the side of rotating plate 1332 that is opposite to the design. A square-hole round rod 1335 is fitted onto a square rod 1333. The internal shape of the square-hole round rod 1335 matches that of the square rod 1333. A roll 1336 is fixedly provided on the outside of the square-hole round rod 1335. A PVC soft film 1339 is wound on the roll 1336 and located in front of the camera. A fixing block 1337 is located at the end of the square hole round rod 1335 away from the motor 1334, and the fixing block 1337 is rotatably connected to the square hole round rod 1335.

[0047] A fixing plate 1331 is fixedly mounted on the side of the two partitions away from the camera assembly 134. A through hole is provided at the center of the fixing plate 1331, and a rotating plate 1332 is rotatably mounted within the through hole. Square rods 1333 are fixedly mounted on the two rotating plates 1332. The other ends of the two rotating plates 1332 are fixedly connected to a motor 1334. The motor 1334 sequentially drives the rotating plates 1332 and the square rods 1333 to rotate. A square-hole round rod 1335 is fitted onto the square rod 1333. The square hole of the round rod 1335 matches the square rod 1333. Thus, even if the square rod 1333 and the square rod 1333 have a clearance fit, as long as the square rod 1333 rotates and interferes with the square-hole round rod 1335, the rotation of the square rod 1333 can drive the rotation of the square-hole round rod 1335. A sleeve is fixed to the outside of the square hole round rod 1335. PVC soft film 1339 is wrapped around the two sleeves. The PVC soft film 1339 is a thin transparent film that protects the camera component 134 without affecting the clarity of the image information captured by the camera component 134.

[0048] It should be noted that when the PVC film 1339 blocking the camera assembly 134 becomes blurry, the PVC film 1339 can be replaced by rotating the two motors 1334 in the same direction and the two rollers 1336 winding and unwinding, so that the camera assembly 134 can obtain the cleaning image information later.

[0049] Furthermore, a fixing block 1337 is rotatably mounted at the end of the square-hole rod 1335 away from the fixing plate 1331, thus providing a certain counterweight. Due to the clearance fit between the square-hole rod 1335 and the square hole, the square-hole rod 1335 will experience some movement during rotation. To prevent this movement from affecting the stability of the image acquisition by the camera assembly 134, the fixing block 1337 is installed to press down on the square-hole rod 1335, preventing its movement. Simultaneously, a magnetic attachment can be provided on the fixing block 1337. This allows for magnetic connection with the second cover plate 150 and also facilitates the magnetic attraction of the fixing block 1337, enabling the removal of the square-hole rod 1335, the roll 1336, and the PVC film 1339 together for replacement of the PVC film 1339.

[0050] For example, the mounting box 132 can be configured as a detachable form with a groove on one end and a protrusion on the other end. Then, a pressure plate 1338 can be provided on one side of the mounting box 132 to press the two parts of the mounting box 132 together, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the mounting boxes 132. This is a prior art solution and will not be described in detail here. Alternatively, the mounting and setting can be integrated, and the internal components can be disassembled and assembled by removing the cover plate.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the identification component 130 further includes: The sound-generating device 137 is installed inside the mounting box 132 and is connected to the information transceiver and processing device 136; The first cover plate 140 is located at one end of the mounting box 132 away from the bracket 131, and the first cover plate 140 has two notches; The second cover plate 150 is disposed on the side of the first cover plate 140 opposite to the mounting box 132, and the second cover plate 150 is configured to enclose the mounting box 132.

[0052] The sound-emitting device 137 is connected to the information transceiver and processing device 136. When the loading device 200 is severely misaligned, it will issue an alarm to prompt the driver to adjust its position. The positions of the camera component 134, the protection component 133, and the cooling fan 138 are usually fixed. The sound-emitting device 137 and the information transceiver and processing device 136 are not specifically positioned; they can be placed inside the mounting box 132. In this example, they can be placed above the baffle 135 and supported by the baffle 135.

[0053] It is understandable that an external computer and / or remote control for remote monitoring can also be set up, which will not be elaborated further. The two notches on the first cover plate 140 are for use when replacing the PVC film 1339. The notches match the position of the fixing block 1337, making it easy to remove the fixing block 1337 and the PVC film 1339, etc., and preventing collision with other components when replacing the PVC film 1339. The second cover plate 150 can achieve a complete seal for the mounting box 132, or it can be a detachable connection method with magnetic attachment.

[0054] Example In operation, the first indicator light 111 flashes intermittently to indicate the specific location of the loading area. Simultaneously, the electric telescopic rods 124 of multiple positioning components 120 move the housing 123 upwards until the slider touches the first limit block, exposing the infrared ranging sensor 125 and multiple second indicator lights 126 for ranging and supplementary lighting range indication, guiding the loading equipment 200 into position. Once the loading equipment 200 is stopped, the multiple electric telescopic rods 124 move the multiple housings 123 downwards, causing the slider to touch the second limit block. During reversing, the infrared ranging sensor 125 detects excessive tilt of the loading equipment and promptly corrects it. After the loading equipment 200 stops, the information transceiver processing device 136 calculates the received distance monitoring results to obtain the accurate position of the loading equipment 200 and sends it to an external remote monitoring station. The monitoring station then controls the loading and unloading device to move to the calculated position for loading. The camera component 134 identifies and records the license plate of the loading equipment 200 for subsequent statistical purposes.

[0055] After the truck-mounted alignment device 100 has been in operation for a period of time, the PVC membrane 1339 at the camera of the camera assembly 134 will accumulate dust. The two motors 1334 will rotate in the same direction to replace the PVC membrane 1339 with a new, clean PVC membrane 1339, thus maintaining the clarity of the camera and ensuring the clarity of the recognized image.

[0056] The electric telescopic pole 124 in this example can be a Firgelli L12 type electric telescopic pole 124.
