The invention discloses an automatic driving
system of a
tower crane and the
tower crane. The automatic driving
system of the
tower crane comprises a
tower crane electromechanical mechanism, an on-tower cab, a
ground control station and a
wireless communication module, the
tower crane electromechanical mechanism comprises a traveling mechanism, a swing mechanism, a luffing mechanism and a hoisting mechanism, the on-tower cab is provided with an unmanned
automatic control system, the on-tower cab comprises an on-tower controller, the on-tower controller is in
signal connection with a series of sensors in the
tower crane electromechanical mechanism and a motor of a working mechanism, the
ground control station comprises a ground controller, and the on-tower controller is in remote
signal connection with the ground controller through the
wireless communication module. According to the automatic driving system of the tower crane and the tower crane, the use of GPS or GNSS
positioning system equipment is omitted, all tower crane electromechanical mechanisms are self-driven in a fixed
route according to a path and a control command specified by the system by virtue of all the sensors which are distributed in the prior art, and automatic driving in the fixed
route is realized, so that a tower crane lifting hook reciprocates between a material point and a construction point, and the working efficiency and reliability of the tower crane are improved.
