Overhead crane positioning system based on Gray code technology

Abstract

The invention discloses an overhead crane positioning system based on the Gray code technology. A cart walking track is arranged on a walk path for a cart, and the cart walking track is provided with a cart Gray busbar in wireless connection with a cart position awareness module; a trolley walking track is arranged on a walking path for a trolley, and the trolley walking track is provided with a trolley Gray busbar in wireless connection with a trolley position awareness module; and an address decoder obtains the running position of an overhead crane through respectively receiving address coding messages of a cart address encoder and a trolley address encoder and carrying out address decoding to the address coding messages. Through the adoption of the Gray code position detection technology in combination with wireless network data transmission equipment for achieving the data acquisition and information transmission function, the position information of the overhead crane is determined, position detection in all the places involving overhead crane application such as warehousing and distribution operations, operation scheduling, inventory making, stack transferring and the like are achieved, and reliable position information is provided for the use of the overhead crane of an enterprise.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of crane positioning, in particular to a crane positioning system based on Gray code technology. Background technique [0002] At present, most enterprises still use the first-generation warehouse management mode. Both the crane and the ground are operated by people, relying on manual experience and walkie-talkies to determine the driving position of the crane, and manually scheduling the operation of the crane. There is a lack of effective positioning equipment and work guidance methods. The low level of automation leads to a disconnect between information and real objects. The operation and status tracking of cranes is not timely and accurate. It is easy to have chaotic product stacking, wrong inventory information, difficulty in stocktaking, and delivery of wrong goods, resulting in low logistics efficiency and poor operation. The high cost affects the production, logistics and sales management of the enterprise. ...
