Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect pest monitoring technology, and in particular to an elevated three-dimensional tobacco insect pest monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] In the elevated automated warehouse storing tobacco raw materials, the warehouse area is large and the shelves are as high as nine layers. Tobacco pest pheromone traps can only be hung at fixed points, and the insect infestation situation in the warehouse can be judged by periodically observing the capture of the pheromone traps.

[0003] However, this method can only cover a small monitoring range, and the pheromone traps suspended in the interior and high areas of the automated storage facility are inconvenient to observe, resulting in low monitoring efficiency and making it difficult to meet the pest monitoring needs of the automated storage facility for tobacco raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an elevated, three-dimensional tobacco pest monitoring system that utilizes a synchronous belt to move and adjust the position of a pheromone trap within the storage facility, thereby increasing the monitoring coverage area.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: A tobacco pest monitoring system for an elevated automated storage facility includes a monitoring component and a synchronous belt component. The synchronous belt component includes an active pulley, a synchronous belt, and a driven pulley. The driven pulley is mounted on the automated storage facility via a wheel frame. The synchronous belt, along with the driven pulley and the active pulley, forms a rectangular frame. The active pulley is positioned at one corner of the rectangular frame, while the driven pulleys are distributed at the other corners and edges of the rectangular frame to tension the synchronous belt. The active pulley is connected to a drive element to rotate the synchronous belt. The monitoring components include a camera and a sex decoy. The sex decoy is fixed to a timing belt by a sex decoy bracket so that it moves and adjusts its position relative to the three-dimensional library as the timing belt rotates. The camera's shooting area is arranged in the sex decoy's moving path to obtain images of the sex decoy's surface.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment, the driving pulley and the driven pulley are fitted on the inner ring of the synchronous belt, and the sex pheromone trap bracket is installed on the outer ring of the synchronous belt, avoiding the mating positions of the synchronous belt, the driving pulley and the driven pulley.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, the axle of the driven pulley is mounted on the wheel frame, causing the driven pulley to rotate relative to the wheel frame, and the wheel frame is arranged within the inner circle of the synchronous belt.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, the active pulley is connected to the output end of the drive element and is mounted on the monitoring bracket via a support, and the monitoring bracket is fixed to the side frame of the automated warehouse.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, the monitoring bracket is positioned at the corner of the rectangular frame formed by the synchronization belt and is spaced apart from the synchronization belt.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, a backplate bracket is fixed on the monitoring bracket, and a backplate is fixed on the backplate bracket at intervals from the camera. The sex pheromone trap can be moved between the backplate and the camera for the camera to take pictures.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, the camera is mounted on the monitoring bracket via a camera bracket.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment, the automated storage and retrieval system is a frame structure, and the monitoring bracket is fixed to the uprights of the automated storage and retrieval system.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment, it also includes a position sensor, which is spaced apart from the camera and distributed on one side of the sex decoy's movement path.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment, the driving element includes a servo motor and a reducer, with the output end of the servo motor connected to the reducer and the output end of the reducer connected to the drive pulley.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: To address the issues of low monitoring efficiency and limited detection range of currently fixed-point suspended sex decoys, a rectangular track formed by a synchronous belt assembly is used. This allows the sex decoys to move and monitor within the automated storage and retrieval system, freeing them from fixed-point limitations. A drive element rotates an active pulley, which in turn drives the synchronous belt to rotate along the rectangular track. The sex decoy moves with the synchronous belt to key areas within the automated storage and retrieval system, including high-altitude and large-area areas, no longer limited to fixed points. This expands the monitoring coverage. Images of the sex decoys are automatically captured by a camera, replacing close-range observation and solving the problem of inconvenient observation of high-altitude decoys, thus improving monitoring efficiency.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The existing monitoring method using fixed-point suspended pheromone traps 13 cannot cover the large area and high-level areas of the elevated warehouse 14, and the traps at high positions are inconvenient to observe, resulting in a small monitoring range and low efficiency, which is difficult to meet the needs of pest monitoring. Therefore, this embodiment provides a tobacco pest monitoring system for elevated warehouses, which establishes a synchronous belt 1 component to move the pheromone traps 13 within the warehouse 14, covering a large area of ​​the warehouse 14 and the high-level shelf area, thus solving the problem of insufficient coverage from fixed points.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the elevated automated storage tobacco pest monitoring system mainly includes an automated storage unit 14, a synchronous belt 1 component, and a monitoring component 3.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the moving track foundation is constructed using the synchronous belt 1 assembly. The synchronous belt 1 assembly includes a driving pulley 4, a synchronous belt 1, a driven pulley, and a drive element. The driven pulley is mounted on the automated storage unit 14 via a wheel frame. The synchronous belt 1, driving pulley 4, and driven pulley cooperate to form a rectangular frame. The driving pulley 4 is located at one corner of the rectangular frame, and the driven pulleys are distributed at the other corners and sides to ensure that the synchronous belt 1 is taut. The driving pulley 4 is connected to the drive element, which can drive the synchronous belt 1 to achieve rotational motion, providing the movement power and track for the sex trap 13 of the monitoring component 3.

[0025] The monitoring component 3 enables insect capture and image acquisition. The monitoring component 3 includes a sex pheromone trap 13 and a camera 11. The sex pheromone trap 13 is fixed on the synchronous belt 1 by a bracket and can move with the synchronous belt 1 as it rotates.

[0026] The camera 11 is positioned to capture the movement path of the sex decoy 13. When the sex decoy 13 moves into the capture area of ​​the camera 11, a surface image of the sex decoy 13 is captured.

[0027] The sex decoy 13 is moved within the automated storage and retrieval system 14 by utilizing the rectangular track formed by the synchronous belt 1 assembly, thus overcoming the limitations of fixed locations. A drive element rotates the active pulley 4, which in turn rotates the synchronous belt 1 along the rectangular track, causing the sex decoy 13 to move with it. Furthermore, the distribution of the synchronous belt 1 can be configured according to requirements, allowing it to pass through key areas within the automated storage and retrieval system 14, no longer confined to fixed locations, thereby expanding the monitoring coverage.

[0028] The camera 11 automatically captures images of the sex decoy 13, replacing close-up observation and solving the problem of inconvenient observation of decoys at high locations. After completing its capture, the sex decoy 13 moves to the shooting area of ​​the camera 11, which then acquires images of its surface. Staff can view the capture status through these images without having to climb high or come into close contact with the decoy, significantly reducing the difficulty of observation and improving monitoring efficiency.

[0029] The pheromone trap 13 moves along the synchronous belt 1 track, covering a large area of ​​the automated warehouse 14 and the high-level shelf area, solving the problem of insufficient coverage at fixed points. Through the combination of mobile monitoring and automatic image acquisition, it accurately matches the insect monitoring scenario of tobacco raw materials in the automated warehouse 14.

[0030] The driving pulley 4 and the driven pulley are tightly fitted on the inner ring of the synchronous belt 1. The inner surface of the synchronous belt 1 has teeth with equal spacing, and the teeth of the driving pulley 4 and the driven pulley mesh with them. During operation, the driving pulley 4 is driven to rotate by the drive element. Through the precise meshing of the teeth on the synchronous belt 1 with the tooth grooves of the pulley, the power is transmitted to the synchronous belt 1, thereby driving the driven pulley to rotate synchronously.

[0031] Because the synchronous belt component uses gear meshing transmission, it can ensure a constant transmission ratio and stable operation. Compared with other transmission methods that rely on friction, it greatly reduces slippage, effectively reduces vibration and noise, and improves motion control accuracy.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the pheromone trap holder 12 is installed on the outer ring of the synchronous belt 1, avoiding the mating positions of the synchronous belt 1 with the driving pulley 4 and the driven pulley. The pheromone trap holder 12 allows for easy adjustment of the position of the pheromone trap 13 by moving the synchronous belt 1. When it is necessary to move the pheromone trap 13 to different areas for pest trapping, simply drive the driving pulley 4 to rotate, causing the synchronous belt 1 to move, thus moving the pheromone trap holder 12 along with the pheromone trap 13 to the designated position, achieving effective monitoring and trapping of pests in different areas.

[0033] Meanwhile, the sex decoy 13 and its bracket 12 avoid the contact points between the synchronous belt 1 and the pulley, effectively preventing interference problems that may occur during operation. If the contact points between the sex decoy bracket 12 and the synchronous belt 1 and pulley are not properly avoided, the bracket may collide with the pulley, damaging the equipment or affecting the normal transmission of the synchronous belt 1, causing the entire system to malfunction. Therefore, this embodiment fully utilizes the transmission function of the synchronous belt 1 while ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.

[0034] The driven pulley's axle is mounted on the pulley frame, allowing the pulley to rotate freely relative to the frame. During installation, the axle is precisely inserted into the corresponding mounting hole in the pulley frame, ensuring a tight fit between the axle and the frame. After installation, the rotation of the driven pulley should be tested. Rotate the driven pulley to check for smooth rotation and any jamming. If uneven rotation is detected, the problem needs to be identified and addressed promptly. Adjustments and optimizations should be made to ensure stable and smooth rotation of the driven pulley.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive pulley 4 is connected to the output end of the drive element and is securely mounted on the monitoring bracket 6 via the support 5. The drive element typically consists of a servo motor 10 and a reducer. The servo motor 10 features high precision and high response speed, enabling precise control of output speed and torque. Its output end is connected to the reducer, which converts the high-speed, low-torque output of the servo motor 10 to a low-speed, high-torque output, thus meeting the drive requirements of the drive pulley 4. The drive pulley 4 is tightly connected to the output end of the reducer, thereby obtaining a stable and powerful power source.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring bracket 6 is fixed to the side frame of the automated storage and retrieval system 14, providing a solid and reliable support for the drive pulley 4. It not only bears the weight of the drive pulley 4 itself, but also withstands various forces from the drive pulley 4 during equipment operation. The structure of the monitoring bracket 6 has sufficient strength and stability to ensure that the drive pulley 4 remains stable during high-speed rotation, without displacement or shaking, thus ensuring the normal operation of the entire transmission system.

[0037] The monitoring bracket 6 is positioned at the corner of the rectangular frame formed by the synchronous belt 1 and is spaced apart from the synchronous belt 1. This provides ample space for the installation of other components without affecting the normal operation of the synchronous belt 1. Camera brackets, backplate brackets 7, and other related components can be easily installed at the corner positions, making the overall layout of the equipment more reasonable and compact, and fully utilizing the space resources of the automated warehouse 14.

[0038] The monitoring bracket 6 and the timing belt 1 are spaced apart to avoid potential friction or collisions between them during equipment operation. If the monitoring bracket 6 and the timing belt 1 are too close, the timing belt 1 may scrape against the monitoring bracket 6 during high-speed movement, causing wear or even damage to the timing belt 1, affecting the service life and operational stability of the equipment. The spaced distribution also facilitates routine maintenance and repair of the timing belt 1 and the monitoring bracket 6 by personnel, enabling timely detection and handling of potential problems.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a backplate bracket 7 is fixed on the monitoring bracket 6, and backplates 8, spaced apart from the camera, are mounted on the backplate bracket 7. The sex decoy 13 can move between the backplate 8 and the camera under the drive of the synchronous belt 1, providing favorable conditions for camera shooting. The presence of the backplate 8 provides a uniform background for the camera to shoot the sex decoy 13 and effectively blocks light, avoiding interference from a cluttered background on the shooting effect, making the captured images clearer and easier to analyze.

[0040] When the pheromone trap 13 moves between the backplate 8 and the camera, the camera can capture and monitor the status of the pheromone trap 13 from all angles. By analyzing the captured images, staff can promptly understand the pest capture status and the remaining amount of bait in the pheromone trap 13, allowing for timely maintenance and replacement of the pheromone trap 13 based on actual conditions, ensuring it maintains its optimal trapping effect. This collaborative approach improves the monitoring efficiency and accuracy of the pheromone trap 13, providing strong data support for pest monitoring and control.

[0041] The camera is mounted on the monitoring bracket 6 via a camera bracket to effectively film and monitor the sex decoy 13. The camera bracket is flexible and can adjust the height and angle of the camera within a certain range. By adjusting the height of the camera, it can adapt to the filming needs of the sex decoy 13 at different height positions, ensuring that the entire sex decoy 13 can be captured.

[0042] The monitoring bracket 6 provides a stable support foundation for the camera bracket and camera. Because the monitoring bracket 6 is fixed to the column 2 of the automated warehouse 14, it has high stability and can effectively reduce interference from external factors on camera shooting. Even when there is some vibration or airflow change in the environment surrounding the automated warehouse 14, the monitoring bracket 6 can ensure the stability of the camera, so that the captured images will not be blurry or shaky, ensuring the quality and reliability of the captured data.

[0043] The automated storage and retrieval system 14 adopts a frame structure, and the monitoring bracket 6 is firmly fixed to the column 2 of the automated storage and retrieval system 14. The frame structure of the automated storage and retrieval system 14 has good stability and load-bearing capacity, and its column 2, as the main load-bearing component, can provide support for the monitoring bracket 6. The monitoring bracket 6 is usually fixed to the column 2 by bolting or welding to ensure the connection is firm.

[0044] Position sensors 9 are spaced apart from the camera and positioned along one side of the movement path of the sex decoy 13. Position sensors 9 can detect the passage of the sex decoy 13 and can employ principles such as electromagnetic induction or photoelectric induction. Taking a photoelectric position sensor 9 as an example, when the sex decoy 13 moves within the sensor's sensing range, it will block or reflect light. The sensor determines the position of the sex decoy 13 by detecting changes in the light.

[0045] The position sensor 9 transmits the detected position signal to the system controller. The controller calculates the position of the sex decoy 13 by combining the rotational speed and running time of the drive pulley 4. Based on these signals, the controller can grasp the motion state and position information of the sex decoy 13.

[0046] It should be noted that the position information of the sex decoy 13 can be calculated using existing methods. The position sensor 9 is deployed on one side of the sex decoy 13's movement path, identifying in real time whether the sex decoy 13 is at the position of the position sensor 9. After triggering identification, it performs calibration and sends a signal. This signal is transmitted to the system controller, where it is fused with the rotational speed data of the drive pulley 4 and the running time parameters for calculation. The rotational speed of the drive pulley 4 determines the moving speed of the synchronous belt 1. Combined with the running time, the theoretical displacement of the sex decoy 13 can be preliminarily estimated, thus achieving the locking of the actual position of the sex decoy 13.

[0047] When the sex decoy 13 moves to the predetermined shooting position, the controller can trigger the camera to take pictures, realizing the automation and precision of the shooting process. The position sensor 9 can also be used to monitor whether the sex decoy 13 is operating normally. In each operating cycle, the synchronous belt 1 can rotate forward and reverse, so that the sex decoy 13 does not need to pass through the position of the monitoring bracket 6, avoiding interference with the monitoring bracket 6. After the sex decoy 13 is identified by the position sensor 9, the position of the sex decoy 13 can be calibrated.

[0048] The specific embodiments of the utility model have been described in detail above, but they are only examples, and the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications or substitutions to the utility model are also within the scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations, modifications, and improvements made without departing from the spirit and principles of the utility model should be covered within the scope of the utility model.
