Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring and management technology, and in particular to a fully automatic monitoring system for hot-rolled spring production. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, fully automated hot-rolled spring production lines encompass multiple processes, including material preparation, heating and forming, heat treatment, and testing. The production process is lengthy and the equipment is widely distributed. Traditionally, this relies heavily on operators regularly or continuously visiting key equipment locations, such as the material feeding platform of the medium-frequency induction heating furnace, the heat treatment translation mechanism, and the quenching cooling tower outside the workshop, to conduct on-site inspections and visual observations to monitor equipment operation and the production process. This highly manual on-site inspection model not only significantly increases the workload of operators but also, due to the inability to achieve real-time synchronization and sharing of information from multiple points, results in a serious lag in the detection and response to emergencies such as material shortages, abnormal workpiece stacking, or media leaks. If problems are not detected in time during inspection intervals, it will directly lead to production interruptions or equipment damage.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: (I) A fully automatic hot-rolled spring production monitoring system includes several monitoring cameras, a signal transmission network, and several display terminals. By deploying monitoring cameras in multiple key processes of the production line and using the signal transmission network to distribute on-site video signals in real time to display terminals set up in different departments and locations according to production management functions, a complete remote visual monitoring system is constructed. This completely liberates operators from high-frequency, long-distance on-site inspections, reducing labor intensity. By presenting the operating status of each key process in the form of video information in real time and synchronously on the display terminals of the central control room, production department, and management personnel, centralized and distributed synchronous monitoring of the entire production line status is realized.

Thus, while achieving comprehensive monitoring, it constructs a management order with clear responsibilities and efficient collaboration, improving the standardization and security of the entire system management.

[0018] First embodiment: A fully automated monitoring system for hot-rolled spring production includes several monitoring cameras, a signal transmission network, and several display terminals. For example, the monitoring cameras include fixed cameras and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras.

[0019] Several surveillance cameras are installed at several key process locations on the hot-rolled spring production line, and these cameras are configured to collect on-site video signals. For example, there are 23 surveillance cameras, covering the entire production process from raw material input to finished springs, as well as auxiliary equipment areas. The key process locations include at least two of the following: the medium-frequency induction heating furnace feeding platform, the translation mechanism after heat treatment quenching, and below the quenching oil cooling tower. Specifically, the key process locations include the medium-frequency induction heating furnace feeding platform, the translation mechanism after heat treatment quenching, and below the quenching oil cooling tower.

[0020] The signal transmission network is connected to several surveillance cameras to transmit on-site video signals.

[0021] Several display terminals are communicatively connected to a signal transmission network and are configured to receive and display live video signals. These display terminals are deployed in different departments and locations according to production management functions. For example, the display terminals include a live display screen mounted on the head of a spring coiling machine, a large monitoring screen in the central control room, computer monitors in the production and manufacturing department, computer monitors in the equipment and power department, and mobile smart terminals for relevant department leaders.

[0022] Furthermore, the signal transmission network can be a wired network, a wireless network, or a combination of both. It can flexibly select the most suitable communication method based on the complex equipment layout and building structure of the production site. It leverages the stability and reliability of wired networks to ensure signal transmission quality at key monitoring points, while utilizing the ease of deployment of wireless networks to overcome installation difficulties in remote or hard-to-wire areas. This ensures that all video signals collected by monitoring cameras can be transmitted in real-time and completely to display terminals at all levels, providing a fundamental communication guarantee for the stable operation of the entire system.

[0023] Furthermore, the fully automated hot-rolled spring production monitoring system also includes an access control module.

This prevents information chaos or leakage risks caused by unauthorized access, and ensures that various functional departments such as production, equipment, and safety, as well as their leaders, can only focus on key monitoring footage relevant to their responsibilities. Thus, while achieving comprehensive monitoring, it also builds a management order with clear responsibilities and efficient collaboration, improving the standardization and security of the entire system management.

[0024] In operation, this embodiment is as follows: First, multiple fixed or pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) monitoring cameras deployed at key processes in the hot-rolled spring production line, such as the medium-frequency induction heating furnace feeding platform, the heat treatment quenching translation mechanism, and the area beneath the quenching oil cooling tower, continuously collect on-site video signals. These signals are transmitted in real time via wired or wireless signal transmission networks. Subsequently, the transmitted video signals are distributed to various display terminals located in different departments and locations according to production management functions, including the on-site display screen at the head of the spring coiling machine, the monitoring screen in the central control room, the computer monitors in the production and manufacturing department and the equipment and power department, and the mobile smart terminals of relevant leaders. During this process, the access control module strictly controls the access permissions of users to different camera video signals based on their positions and functions. Ultimately, this enables authorized personnel to simultaneously observe the real-time production scenes under their jurisdiction, thereby achieving centralized monitoring and distributed management of the entire production process and enabling immediate detection and response to equipment status, material conditions, and potential risks.

[0025] In this embodiment, a complete remote visual monitoring system was constructed, which completely freed operators from high-frequency, long-distance on-site inspections, reduced labor intensity, and presented the operating status of each key process in real time and synchronously on the display terminals of the central control room, production department and management personnel in the form of video information. This achieved centralized and distributed synchronous monitoring of the entire production line status, eliminated information blind spots and monitoring delays, and avoided production interruptions and equipment damage caused by potential problems such as equipment material shortages, workpiece abnormalities or media leaks, thus ensuring the continuity of production and the reliability of equipment.
