| description | Garbage sweepers are crucial to municipal cleaning; however, they frequently encounter two significant challenges during their operations: overflowing rubbish storage compartments and vacuum duct clogging. The conventional method of monitoring overflowing refuse and clogging vacuum ducts is based on manual labour, which is inefficient and susceptible to error. Consequently, this investigation suggests an automated monitoring approach that is predicated on the integration of wind speed sensors and ultrasonic sensors. The ultrasonic sensors assess the blockage status by monitoring the height of the accumulation of rubbish in real time, while the wind speed sensors monitor the change in wind speed. The experimental results indicate that the system is an effective solution for monitoring the refuse intake status of intelligent sweepers, significantly reducing manual intervention and improving the operational efficiency of the equipment. Additionally, the system is accurate and reliable. |
