Embodiment
Provide some specific embodiments with regard to various aspects of the present utility model below:
The system chart of the guest flow statistics device based on distance measuring sensor of the present utility model as shown in Figure 1, mainly form by statistic unit 1 that is erected at the walkway top and coupled control module 2, the signal emitting facet of statistic unit 1 and reception end face are placed over against ground, and have a distance between statistic unit 1 and the ground, the input/output terminal of statistic unit 1 is connected with the input/output terminal of control module 2; Control module 2 has a power supply and is himself and statistic unit 1 power supply, in addition, control, communication, the information to statistic unit 1 that also is used to control module 2 to realize reads and deals with the work, and control module 2 also provides communication interface for external call or provide network interface for networking.Statistic unit 1 is perpendicular to walkway direction and placement parallel to the ground, usually approximate doorframe or ceiling height with the height on ground to ground, promptly be approximately 2~4.5 meters, statistic unit 1 is formed by range cells 11,12,13,14 equidistant arrangements, and be located on the same line the average shoulder breadth that the distance between per two adjacent range cells equals to be grown up.The number of range cells is 4 in the present embodiment, and in actual use, the number of range cells should be obtained divided by the average shoulder breadth of being grown up by the width of walkway.Control module 2 provides power supply for statistic unit 1, and control, communication, the information to statistic unit 1 finished reads and deals with the work, and control module 2 should also provide communication interface for external call or provide network interface for networking.The setting of range cells is not limited only to range cells 11,12,13,14 these quantity, according to the width of walkway the quantity of range cells is set, and does not repeat them here.
Each range cells in the statistic unit 1 transmits from top to bottom, and measures himself distance to the reflecting body that is positioned at its below.When not having pedestrian's process, this distance should equal the height of range cells to ground, and under range cells, the people is arranged through out-of-date, the distance of measuring should be the distance of certain position (head or shoulder) of people to range cells, approximate the height that range cells height overhead deducts the pedestrian, just can judge by this information whether people's process is arranged, further can calculate pedestrian's height, judge that process person is adult or children.Range cells can directly send to control module 2 with the range information that records and handle, and has judged whether that by control module 2 people's process and process person are adult or children; Perhaps range cells self information of adjusting the distance is handled, and has judged whether that people's process and process person are adult or children, further the real consumption ability of the volume of the flow of passengers is made assessment.In addition, each range cells can also be distinguished pedestrian's working direction, realizes two-way guest flow statistics.The information that control module 2 sends over all range cells in the statistic unit 1 is handled and is gathered, and draws the volume of the flow of passengers information by this section, sends to the server of far-end by communication bus or network interface.Described reflecting body is pedestrian, ground or the object in the walkway.
Because the range cells 11,12,13,14 in the statistic unit 1 all has identical functions and structure, is the embodiment that example provides two specific embodiments and corresponding control module 2 with range cells 11 below.
Embodiment one: as shown in Figure 2, range cells 11 is made of ultrasonic range finder sensor 111, and control module 2 is by processor module 21, and communication module 22 and power module 23 are formed.Processor module 21 control ultrasonic range finder sensors 111 send a ultrasonic pulse, and the enabling counting device, when ultrasonic range finder sensor 111 received echoed signal, notification processor module 21 stopped counting, and calculate the corresponding time, calculate range information according to hyperacoustic velocity of propagation.In the present embodiment, range finder module 11 is just finished hyperacoustic transmission and echo receiving function, the calculating of range information and processing all are to be finished by the processor module in the position control module 2 21, in the time of a plurality of range cells, adopt a kind of time-multiplexed mode to work.Distance measuring sensor 111 can also be the contactless distance detecting module of laser ranging module or other types, and the network interface that communication module 22 provides can be the communications network interface of Ethernet, GPRS, WLAN (wireless local area network) or other types.
Embodiment two: as shown in Figure 3, range cells 11 is made up of distance measuring sensor 111 and A processor module 112, and control module 2 is by processor module 21, and communication module 22 and power module 23 are formed.Distance measuring sensor 111 is finished the measurement of distance under the control of A processor module 112, A processor module 112 information of adjusting the distance are handled, judged whether that people's process and process person are adult or children, result after handling is sent to processor module 21 in the control module 2 by communication bus, the information that 21 pairs of all range cells of processor module send over gathers, and draws the volume of the flow of passengers information by this section.Distance measuring sensor 111 can be the supersonic sounding module, also can be the contactless distance detecting module of laser ranging module or other types, the network interface that communication module 22 provides can be the communications network interface of Ethernet, GPRS, WLAN (wireless local area network) or other types.
Provide two specific embodiments that can distinguish the distance measuring sensor 111 of direct of travel below.
Embodiment one: as shown in Figure 4, distance measuring sensor 111 is made up of ultrasonic transmitter 1111 and ultrasonic receiver 1112 and 1113, and ultrasonic receiver 1112 and 1113 is positioned at the both sides of ultrasonic transmitter 1111, and orientation is consistent with pedestrian advancing direction.The ultrasonic pulse that ultrasonic transmitter 1111 sends is propagated downwards with certain scattering angle, running into reflecting body (for example people's head) reflects afterwards, transmitted wave is also propagated according to certain scattering angle, received by ultrasonic receiver 1112 and 1113 respectively, because the distance of ultrasonic propagation is different, thereby ultrasonic receiver 1112 and 1113 times of receiving echoes also have have earlier after, for example work as the pedestrian from left to right through out-of-date, should be that ultrasonic receiver 1112 receives echo earlier, otherwise ultrasonic receiver 1113 receives echo earlier.Therefore, can draw the direction that the pedestrian advances according to ultrasonic receiver 1112 and 1113 precedence relationships that receive echo.
Embodiment two: as shown in Figure 5, distance measuring sensor 111 is made up of two modules 1111 and 1112 of independently finding range, both at intervals arrange along the direction that the pedestrian advances, should select more greatly for the sensor distance that scattering angle is big, and can be smaller for the little sensor distance of scattering angle, with two modules interference not taking place is as the criterion.Range finding module 1111 and 1112 transmits downwards simultaneously and waits for the arrival of reflected signal, if the pedestrian passes through from left to right, the module 1111 of finding range so receives the time of reflected signal and should in view of the above, just can judge the direction that the pedestrian advances less than 1112 times that receive reflected signal.
The above; it only is the embodiment in the utility model; but protection domain of the present utility model is not limited thereto; anyly be familiar with the people of this technology in the disclosed technical scope of the utility model; can understand conversion or the replacement expected; all should be encompassed in of the present utility model comprising within the scope, therefore, protection domain of the present utility model should be as the criterion with the protection domain of claims.
