Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions better understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present application and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

With the enlargement of the scale of highways, particularly expressways, the quality standards of highway construction and maintenance are higher and higher. The road marking is one of the most important indexes of the road construction quality, and the safety of the pedestrians is concerned all the time. So that the user can spray the road marking paint on the constructed road. When the user sprays the road marking, different tools are used for drawing the corresponding road marking pattern, and then the road marking paint can be sprayed at the position corresponding to the pattern by using a road marking spraying machine. Finally, the user can spread glass beads on the road marking paint. The process of spreading the glass beads is followed by spraying the marking paint. The glass beads are scattered, so that the adverse effect of the road marking on the irradiation of the vehicle lamp can be improved, and a driver can clearly see the road marking.

It is easy to understand that the development of the road marking material, the road marking pattern and the time for spreading the glass beads all have an influence on the stability of the road marking. The present inventors have found that the timing of spreading the glass beads directly affects the degree of sedimentation of the glass beads because the reticle paint has a short curing time. For example, glass beads that were deposited too deeply into the marking paint before dusting affected the retroreflective effect, and glass beads that were deposited too shallowly and easily dropped off after dusting. Therefore, it is necessary to scatter the glass beads at an appropriate timing so that the scattered glass beads can produce the retroreflection with the best effect.

Optionally, the user may use the sign line retroreflection detector to detect whether the road sign line meets the preset requirement. For example, the marking line retroreflection detector can determine whether the road marking line meets the preset requirement by detecting whether a new marking line material meets the preset requirement, detecting whether the design construction of the road marking line pattern meets the standard and detecting whether the road marking line retroreflection coefficient detection is qualified. The existing marking line inverse reflection detector has the disadvantages of complex structure, high price and long maintenance time, and brings more inconvenience for a user to use the marking line inverse reflection detector to detect the road marking line. The road marking reflected light detection system of the embodiment of the application has a simple structure, processes the received photoelectric signals through the reflected light processing module, can acquire the retroreflection coefficient of the road marking, can provide standard basis for design construction and acceptance of the road marking, and further can improve the convenience and accuracy and reliability of the road marking reflected light detection system.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a road marking reflected light detection system according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1, the road marking reflected light detection system 10 includes a light source 101, a diaphragm and light source collimator 102, a reflector 103, a reflected light receiving sensor 104, and a reflected light processing module 105, where the diaphragm and light source collimator 102 is composed of a diaphragm and a light source collimator.

According to some embodiments, the light source 101 emits detection light for road markings. The light emitted by the light source 101 for detecting the road marking may be a single color or a combination of several single colors. For example, the light source 101 may be a white Light Emitting Diode (LED). A white LED is a solid-state semiconductor device capable of converting electrical energy into visible light, which can directly convert electricity into white light. There is no white light in the spectrum of visible light, so that the white light emitted by the white LED is not monochromatic light, but is a composite light formed by combining a plurality of monochromatic lights. For example, the detection light emitted by a white LED may be a two-wavelength emission, i.e., a combination of blue and yellow light.

It is easily understood that the detection light of the road marking emitted by the light source 101 may also be monochromatic light. The monochromatic light may be light within a certain wavelength range, or may be monochromatic light of a certain fixed wavelength. The light source 101 may be, for example, a he — ne laser, which may emit monochromatic light having a wavelength of 0.6328 microns.

Alternatively, the light source 101 may be one of an LED light source, an LD light source, and a VCSEL light source. The light source 101 of the road marking reflected light detection system 10 may be, for example, an LD light source.

According to some embodiments, the aperture is used to shape limit the detection light of the road marking emitted by the light source 101, and the light source collimator is used to shape the emitted light. When the light source 101 emits the detection light of the road marking, the detection light can propagate along a straight line in the air, but because the detection light of the road marking emitted by the light source 101 has a very obvious divergence, the light received by the reflective mirror 103 does not meet the requirement of a reflected light detection system of the road marking, and therefore the shape limitation needs to be performed on the detection light of the road marking emitted by the light source 101, so that the reflective mirror 103 can reflect the received detection light to a corresponding area.

It is easily understood that the Stop may be of the type such as an aperture Stop or a Field Stop (Field Stop), and the road marking reflected light detection system of the embodiment of the present application may be provided with at least one Stop. The diaphragm may always be any one of an aperture diaphragm and a field diaphragm.

According to some embodiments, the road marking 20 may include a road marking region 21, a retro-reflective light-receiving region 22 and a light source illumination region 23. The detection effect of the road marking can be illustrated as shown in fig. 2.

It is easily understood that the reflective mirror 103 may irradiate the detection light to the light source irradiation angle area 23 of the road marking and receive the detection light reversely reflected on the road marking. The mirror 103 is disposed at a fixed angle relative to the road marking 20, depending on the detection requirements of the retroreflective light detection system for the road marking. The fixed angle is set so that the reflecting mirror 103 reflects the received detection light to the corresponding light source irradiation region 23. The light source illumination angle area may be a partial position of the road marking. The fixed angle may be, for example, 44 °. When the fixed included angle is too large, the light source irradiation area 23 on the road marking 20 becomes small, the retro-reflected light is weak, and the detection accuracy of the road marking reflected light detection system is affected. When the fixed included angle is too small, the light source irradiation area 23 on the road marking 20 becomes large, so that the retroreflection light is strong, and the complexity of detecting the retroreflection light coefficient of the road marking by the reflected light detection system of the road marking is increased.

According to some embodiments, in order to improve the adverse effect of the road marking on the irradiation of the vehicle lamp, so that a driver can clearly see the road marking, glass beads are scattered on the marking paint during marking construction. The process of spreading the glass beads is followed by spraying the marking paint. The present inventors have found that the timing of spreading the glass beads directly affects the degree of sedimentation of the glass beads because the reticle paint has a short curing time. For example, glass beads that were deposited too deeply into the marking paint before dusting affected the retroreflective effect, and glass beads that were deposited too shallowly and easily dropped off after dusting. Therefore, a user can scatter the glass beads in the light source irradiation area 23 at a proper time, and the retroreflection light detection system of the road marking can receive the retroreflection light of the scattered glass beads so as to detect that the road marking meets the preset requirement and ensure the driving safety of a driver.

It is well understood that the reflected light receiving sensor 104 is used to receive the retro-reflected light and convert the retro-reflected light into an electro-optical signal. Due to the presence of the glass beads on the light source irradiation region 23, when the detection light whose shape is limited by the diaphragm and the light source collimator lens 102 is reflected by the reflecting mirror 103 to the light source irradiation angle region 23 of the road marking, the reflected light of the detection light is generated. The retroreflection light can be received by the retroreflection mirror 103 and reflected to the retroreflection light receiving sensor 104. The retro-reflective light receiving sensor 104 may receive the retro-reflective light and convert the retro-reflective light into a photoelectric signal.

According to some embodiments, the reflected light processing module 105 is configured to receive the photoelectric signal and process the photoelectric signal to obtain the retroreflection coefficient of the road marking. The photoelectric signal received by the reflected light processing module 105 may be, for example, the wavelength of the detection light of the road marking emitted by the light source 101 and the irradiation angle at which the detection light is irradiated to the light source irradiation region 23.

It is readily understood that the reflected light processing module 105 can calculate the retroreflection coefficient of the road marking according to equation (1).

I＝I₀×R(θ，λ) (1)

In the formula:

i is the power of the retroreflected light of the road marking received by the reflected light receiving sensor 104;

I₀the power of the detection light reflected to the road marking for the mirror 103;

r (θ, λ) is the retroreflection coefficient of the road marking, which is related to the light source wavelength, the illumination angle, the sign line color, and the acceptance angle.

According to some embodiments, in the road marking reflected light detection system 10, the wavelength of the detection light of the road marking emitted by the light source 101 and the irradiation angle of the detection light irradiated to the light source irradiation region 23 are determined constants. When the colors of the road marking lines are different, the retroreflection light coefficients of the obtained road marking lines are also different. The calculation formula of the back reflection coefficient may be:

R(λ)＝(I/I₀)×100％ (2)

for example, when the power of the detection light reflected by the mirror 103 to the road marking is 100mW and the retroreflection light power received by the reflected light receiving sensor 104 is 30mW, the retroreflection light processing module 105 obtains the retroreflection light coefficient R (λ) ═ 30/100 × 100% ═ 30%.

According to some embodiments, the reflected light processing module 105 may compare the obtained back reflection coefficient with the calibration data. When the reflected light processing module 105 detects that the difference value between the retroreflection light coefficient and the calibration data is within the error range, it is determined that the road marking meets the preset requirement.

It will be readily appreciated that the retroreflection factor detected by the road marking reflected light detection system is related to the color of the road marking and to the weather environment. For example, in sunny days or rainy days, the reflected light detection system of the road marking receives different reflected light power, so that the reflected light detection system of the road marking detects different reflected light coefficients. Therefore, the calibration data used are different under different detection conditions.

Alternatively, the calibration data may be a standard template provided by a national accreditation and detection institution or may be calibrated according to the actual condition of the simulated road surface. The road marking reflected light detection system can refer to GB/T16311 road traffic marking quality requirements and detection methods, GB5768-1999 road signs and markings, and GB/T21383-2008 new ground marking initial retroreflection brightness coefficient and test method to obtain calibration data.

The embodiment of the application provides a road marking reflected light detection system, which comprises a light source, a diaphragm, a light source collimating mirror, a reflecting mirror, a reflected light receiving sensor and a reflected light processing module, wherein the light source is arranged on the diaphragm; wherein: the light source is used for emitting detection light of the road marking; the diaphragm and the light source collimating mirror are used for limiting the shape of the detection light and collimating and shaping the emitted light; the reflector is used for reflecting the detection light to a light source irradiation angle area of the road marking and reflecting the reverse reflection light of the road marking back to the reflection light receiving sensor; the reflected light receiving sensor is used for receiving retro-reflected light and converting the retro-reflected light into a photoelectric signal; the reflected light processing module is used for receiving the photoelectric signal and processing the photoelectric signal to obtain the back reflection light coefficient of the road marking. The road marking reflected light detection system of the embodiment of the application is simple in structure, processes the received photoelectric signals through the reflected light processing module, can acquire the retroreflection coefficient of the road marking, can provide standard basis for design construction and acceptance of the road marking, and further can improve the convenience of the road marking reflected light detection system.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of a road marking reflected light detection system according to another embodiment of the present application.

According to some embodiments, the reflected light detection system 30 is designed in a modular or unit-independent manner, and when a component of the reflected light detection system is damaged, the component can be independently maintained, so that the reflected light detection system 30 can be maintained more conveniently by adopting the modular or unit-independent manner.

As can be readily understood, as shown in fig. 3, the road marking reflected light detection system 30 includes: a light source 301, an aperture 303, an aperture 304, a light source collimator 305, a mirror 306, a reflected light receiving sensor 309, a reflected light processing module 308, an optical fiber 302, a window mirror 307, a retro-reflective light reflecting module 308, and a collimator 305. The optical fiber 302 may include a multimode optical fiber, which may have a core diameter of 200um, and a photosensor.

According to some embodiments, the light source 301 may emit detection light for a road marking, and the optical fiber 302 may receive a portion of the detection light as reference light for the light source 301 and send the reference light to the collimating mirror 305. The optical fiber 302 receiving a part of the detection light as the reference light of the light source 301 can reduce the detection error of the road marking reflected light detection system 30 due to the power variation of the light source 301. The detected light passes through the stop 303 when it reaches the collimator 305. Since the aperture 303 is shaped to detect light, the shape of the detected light changes as it passes through the aperture 303. The collimator mirror 305 can adjust the angle at which the detection light enters the mirror 306, that is, the collimator mirror 305 can adjust the angle at which the reference light enters the mirror 306. The detection light emitted from the collimator 305 is received by the reflector 306, and can be reflected to the light source irradiation angle area of the road marking. The light source irradiation area comprises a simulated motor vehicle driver visual field angle area and one of other irradiation angle areas designed according to the standard of the optical detection parameters of the reference road marking line. When the light source irradiation area is the area simulating the view field angle of the motor vehicle driver, the accuracy of the photoelectric signal acquired by the road marking reflected light detection system 30 can be improved. The window mirror 307 is used to enclose the optical system to avoid contamination of the optical system by the environment.

It is to be understood that, due to the presence of the glass beads on the road marking, when the reference light is irradiated to the light source irradiation angle region, the reflecting mirror 303 may transmit the retro-reflected light received from the road marking to the retro-reflective light reflecting module 308, and the retro-reflective light reflecting module 308 may transmit the retro-reflected light to the reflective light receiving sensor 309 when receiving the retro-reflected light. The retro-reflective light receiving sensor 309 receives the retro-reflective light and converts the retro-reflective light into an electro-optical signal. And processing the photoelectric signal to obtain the back reflection light coefficient of the road marking.

According to some embodiments, in the road marking reflected light detection system 30, the light source 301 may employ a warm white LED light source that emits light in a spectrum close to natural light. The diaphragm 303 may be provided as a rectangular aperture, which may have dimensions of 40mm by 60 mm. The collimator 305 may be a plano-convex design, the focal length of the collimator 309 may be 120mm and the diameter of the collimator 309 may be 55 mm. The size of the 45 reflecting mirror 306 may be 50mm × 60mm, the size of the window mirror 307 may be 50mm × 60mm, and the size of the light source irradiation angle region may be 45mm × 200 mm. The reflected light receiving sensor 309 is composed of a photodetector and an amplifier, and a viewing angle region in which the reflected light receiving sensor 309 can receive the back reflected light is a 45mm × 600mm region of the road marking, which is similar to a viewing angle range in which a driver looks at the road marking when driving normally.

The retroreflective road marking detection system provided by the embodiment of the application is simple in structure, can acquire retroreflective light coefficients of road markings by processing received photoelectric signals through the retroreflective light processing module, can provide standard basis for design construction and acceptance of the road markings, and further can improve the convenience of use of the retroreflective road marking detection system.
