Abstract

[0002] In the field of security monitoring, infrared boundary crossing detection technology is widely used in security surveillance, industrial isolation, traffic construction protection, and other scenarios due to its rapid response (typical response time ≤300ms), moderate cost (single unit equipment cost approximately 800-1200 RMB), and strong environmental adaptability. Currently, similar technologies and products in this field have formed a certain technical system. The basic principle is that an infrared beam is emitted by an infrared transmitter, and the receiver converts the beam into an electrical signal through a photodiode. When an object blocks the beam, causing the electrical signal to be interrupted, it is determined as a boundary crossing. The standard architecture is basically composed of a "transmitter + receiver + signal processing unit". Existing boundary crossing detection devices mount the device itself on a fixed or mobile bracket, requiring the initial installation of additional brackets, increasing deployment costs and time.
[0003] Therefore, how to provide an efficient and quick-to-install boundary crossing monitoring device is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a boundary crossing monitoring device based on traffic cones, including a transmitting component and a receiving component. The transmitting component includes a transmitter 1 and a transmitter support component 2 for supporting the transmitter 1. The receiving component includes a receiver 3 and a receiver support component 4 for supporting the receiver 3. The transmitter support component 2 and the receiver support component 4 have the same structure, both including: a traffic cone body 21, a post 22, a mounting base 23 and a limiting ring 24. The traffic cone body 21 has an insertion hole at its top; the lower end of the insertion post 22 is positioned and inserted into the insertion hole; the mounting base 23 is fixed to the top of the insertion post 22; the inner ring surface of the limiting ring 24 is adapted to fit and fit against the upper outer wall surface of the traffic cone body 21 to securely fit it on the upper outer wall of the traffic cone body 21, and the top of the limiting ring 24 is fixed to the mounting base 23; the transmitter 1 is installed on the top of the mounting base 23 in the transmitter support assembly 2, and the receiver 3 is installed on the top of the mounting base 23 in the receiver support assembly 4, with the transmitting end of the transmitter 1 and the receiving end of the receiver 3 arranged opposite to each other. The dual limiting of the insertion post 22 and the limiting ring 24 strengthens the tightness of the connection between the support assembly and the traffic cone body 21, preventing the transmitter 1 or receiver 3 on the traffic cone body 21 from falling off due to insecure installation.
[0028] This device uses a traffic cone as its base, making it suitable for both boundary crossing monitoring and general warning applications. The various components of the device can be customized as needed. However, in actual production, to save costs and time, the traffic cone body 21 is typically not manufactured separately. Instead, a standard traffic cone with an insertion hole at the top is used, such as the one conforming to GB / T24725-2024. The dimensions of the insertion post 22, mounting base 23, and limiting ring 24 are then customized to fit the selected traffic cone. The insertion post 22, mounting base 23, and limiting ring 24 can be made of PP material, which is lightweight, portable, and resistant to corrosion and damage.
[0029] Specifically, transmitter 1 includes a transmitter body, a transmitter controller housing, and a transmitter controller and a transmitter power supply, both installed within the transmitter controller housing. The transmitter body and the transmitter controller housing are symmetrically mounted on the top of the mounting base 23 with the axis of the insertion post 22 as the center. The transmitting end of the transmitter body is arranged opposite to the receiving end of the receiver 3. The transmitter controller is electrically connected to both the transmitter body and the transmitter power supply. A support plate is fixed to the upper side wall of the transmitter controller housing, and the transmitter body is fixed to the upper part of the support plate. The transmitter power supply and the transmitter body are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base, in an up-down arrangement, which helps to balance the weight, keep the body stable, and prevent tipping.
[0030] Specifically, receiver 3 includes receiver body 31, receiver controller housing 32, and receiver controller and power supply both installed inside receiver controller housing 32. Receiver body 31 and receiver controller housing 32 are symmetrically mounted on top of mounting base 23 with the axis of insertion post 22 as the center. The receiving end of receiver body 31 is arranged opposite to the transmitting end of transmitter body. Receiver controller is electrically connected to receiver body 31 and receiver 3 power supply. Similarly, the counterweights on both sides of receiver 3 ensure the stability of the receiver.
[0031] Specifically, the transmitter body includes a transmitter 1 housing and multiple infrared emitting units of different wavelengths; the transmitter 1 housing is mounted on the top of the corresponding mounting base 23, and the multiple infrared emitting units of different wavelengths are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the transmitter 1 housing and fixed inside the transmitter 1 housing; The receiver body 31 includes a receiver 3 housing and multiple infrared receiving units of different wavelengths. The receiver 3 housing is mounted on the top of the corresponding mounting base 23. Multiple infrared emitting units of different wavelengths are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the receiver 3 housing and fixed inside the receiver 3 housing. The multiple infrared emitting units correspond one-to-one with the multiple infrared receiving units and are arranged opposite each other.
[0032] The housings of the transmitter controller, receiver controller 32, transmitter 1, and receiver 3 can all be made of ABS material, which is lightweight and durable.
[0033] More specifically, there are two infrared transmitting units and two infrared receiving units, with wavelengths of 850nm and 940nm respectively, to improve the accuracy of monitoring and prevent false alarms caused by birds or other objects.
[0034] Specifically, multiple infrared emitting unit angle adjustment mechanisms are also provided. These mechanisms are installed inside the transmitter 1 housing, with each infrared emitting unit installed at the adjustment end of its corresponding emitting unit angle adjustment mechanism.
[0035] Specifically, multiple infrared receiving unit angle adjustment mechanisms are also provided. These mechanisms are installed inside the receiver 3 housing, with each infrared receiving unit mounted on the adjustment end of its corresponding angle adjustment mechanism. The angle adjustment mechanisms allow for adjustment of the horizontal and vertical angles of the receiver 3 and transmitter 1, ensuring correspondence between the transmitter and receiver, guaranteeing the reliability of boundary crossing monitoring, and improving the applicability of the device. The angle adjustment mechanisms can employ manual or electric angle adjusters. Electric angle adjusters require electrical connection to a corresponding controller. Both manual and electric angle adjusters are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0036] Specifically, a fixed alarm 5 is also provided, which is installed inside the receiver controller housing 32. The fixed alarm can be an audible and visual alarm, which can sound an alarm at the installation location to alert personnel who have crossed the boundary and nearby management personnel. When the indicator light inside the audible and visual alarm is green, it indicates that the equipment is working normally; when it is red, it indicates a boundary crossing alarm.
[0037] Specifically, a personal alarm is also provided. A LoRa wireless communication module 6 is installed inside the receiver controller housing 32, and the personal alarm signal is connected to the LoRa wireless communication module 6. The personal alarm can be worn on safety helmets / shoulder patches equipped with audible and visual alarms, and can promptly alert relevant management personnel in cases of boundary violations.
[0038] Specifically, a cloud management platform is also provided. A 4G wireless communication module 7 is installed inside the receiver controller housing 32. The cloud management platform connects to the receiver controller via the signal from the 4G wireless communication module 7. The 4G wireless communication module uploads monitoring data to the cloud management platform in real time. The cloud management platform supports functions such as "alarm statistics (by area / time period), equipment status (monitoring power / signal), and historical data export," allowing management personnel to monitor safety dynamics without being on-site, thus reducing the workload of on-site inspections.
[0039] Specifically, a locator is also provided, which is installed inside the receiver controller housing 32 and electrically connected to the receiver controller. The locator can use GPS positioning, and the road cone body 21 is numbered. The GPS positioning is linked to the road cone number and uploaded, realizing rapid alarm and accurate traceability, which is conducive to quickly locating the location of the boundary violation and responding in a timely manner.
[0040] The transmitter controller housing has a power button for transmitter 1, electrically connected to the transmitter controller, to control the activation and deactivation of the infrared transmitting unit. The receiver controller housing 32 has a receiver power button 33 and a beam-through button 34, electrically connected to the receiver controller. The receiver power button 33 controls the circuitry of the infrared receiving unit, alarm, locator, and other related electronic components. With both power buttons activated, a short press of the beam-through button 34 initiates the infrared receiving unit's reception of infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitting unit, ensuring the device establishes infrared beam-through and enters alert mode.
[0041] Both the transmitter support assembly 2 and the receiver support assembly 4 have charging ports 8 at the bottom of their insertion posts 21. Power cables pass through the insertion posts and base, extending into the inner cavity of the controller housing and electrically connecting to a power source for charging. In some other embodiments, the charging ports 8 may also be installed on the housing of the transmitter or receiver controller. Protective plugs are provided at the charging ports 8 for dust and water protection.
