Automated container wharf handling system and handling method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an automated container wharf handling system and a handling method thereof. The automated container wharf handling system comprises shore bridges, straddle carriers, storage yard cranes and a shuttle carrier system. A wharf storage yard area is divided into a front storage yard and a rear storage yard along the depth direction of the wharf storage yard area. The shuttle carrier system comprises at least one set of rail and conveyors, the rails are perpendicular to the shoreline direction of a wharf and penetrate the front and rear storage yards, the conveyors are arranged on the rails and are capable of relay-conveying containers, the rails are located below the storage yard cranes, and the working radius of the storage yard crane in the front storage yard is capable of extending to a container stacking area of the rails and the front storage yard area while the working radius of the rear storage yard area is capable of extending to the container stacking area of the rails and the rear storage yard area and a traffic channel of container trucks. By means of the shuttle carrier technology, relay conveying and automated handling of the containers can be realized, energy resources are saved, and efficiency is high; the rail carriers take the place of shuttle carriers travelling for long distance, so that cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a container loading and unloading technology of a container terminal, in particular to an automatic container terminal loading and unloading system and a loading and unloading method thereof. Background technique [0002] In 1996, the world's first automated container terminal was put into commercial operation in the Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, followed by the Port of London in the United Kingdom, the Port of Kawasaki in Japan, the Port of Singapore, and the Port of Hamburg in Germany. pier. In the nearly 20-year development process of automated container terminals, it can be basically divided into three stages: the first generation is represented by ECT in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The second generation is represented by the German HHLA port which was put into operation in 2002. The third generation is represented by Euromax in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which was put into operation in 2010. [0003] The Rotterda...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

First, the overall efficiency of the terminal is low, especially the current running speed of AGV is slow, and generally can only reach a speed of about 20 kilometers

At the same time, AGV operations require a huge computer system to process. Every time there is a conflict in the operation, both parties must brake urgently, and then the system will determine the priority. This traffic management method also leads to low efficiency of the AGV method.

The second is that the yard uses ARMG hanging boxes for long-distance operation, and the energy utilization efficiency is also low

The third is that the rear transportation link requires the collection truck to perform reversing operations, which makes the overall efficiency of collection and distribution low.

[0008] Chinese Patent Authorization Notice No. CN100545065C discloses "Container Wharf Arrangement Scheme and Loading and Unloading Process". Although the use of the conveying trolley system can improve a certain efficiency, in the transportation process, a single trolley travels a long distance, and the turn-back time is long, thus waste of resources and time
