Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a safety protection system for an aerial work platform and a control method thereof, belonging to the field of aerial work devices. Background Art

[0002] There are three main methods for existing scissor-type aerial work platforms to monitor the surrounding environment during operation projects: manual observation, mechanical height limit and laser height limit. During manual observation, observation and operation need to be carried out at the same time, and the implementation is easily interfered by obstacles. Mechanical height limit requires the installation of mounting rods, which can easily damage the mechanical height limit device when passing through narrow working conditions. Laser height limit is greatly affected by ambient light and dust and cannot detect transparent objects such as glass.

[0003] Since scissor-type aerial work platforms are mainly used for aerial work, most manufacturers only provide height limit protection and ignore the detection of the vehicle environment. When working at high altitude, the operator is at a high position and cannot observe the ground conditions well. If working in a basement or on a cloudy day with poor light, the surrounding personnel will have poor recognition of the equipment, which may lead to accidents. In addition, many aerial work conditions require working close to the wall, and the current limited motion mode cannot meet most conditions. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a safety protection system for an aerial work platform and a control method thereof, which realizes obstacle recognition within a set range by arranging corresponding radars on the platform and the vehicle respectively, and cooperates with the area outline, and executes the corresponding working mode to ensure the safety of the operation.

[0005] Technical solution: A safety protection system for an aerial work platform, comprising a platform protection device, a bottom vehicle protection device, a platform controller and a main controller, wherein the platform protection device and the platform controller are installed on the working platform, and the bottom vehicle protection device and the main controller are installed on the bottom vehicle; The platform protection device includes a platform radar fixedly mounted on the guardrail via a mounting bracket, and the platform radar is electrically connected to the main controller; The undercarriage protection device includes an undercarriage radar, a clearance spotlight and a radar control box. The undercarriage radar is electrically connected to the radar control box. The clearance spotlight and the radar control box are electrically connected to a main controller via a relay. The clearance spotlight and the undercarriage radar are installed around the undercarriage frame. The radar control box is electrically connected to the main controller. The platform controller is electrically connected to the main controller.

[0006] The present invention is provided with radars on both the platform and the undercarriage, and the radars transmit radar signals and receive returned signals to judge whether there are obstacles in the set area that affect the normal lifting and driving work. When working at night or in other places with poor lighting, when obstacles on the road are difficult to see clearly, the outline of the set detection area can be indicated by the outline lights composed of a plurality of spotlight elements around the vehicle frame, and the detection distance of the radar is set accordingly. The combination of the two can realize the safety of the undercarriage operation when working under limited light source conditions. At the same time, an upward detection radar is also provided on the lifting platform. During the platform lifting operation, when an obstacle is detected in the radar detection area, the main controller can judge and enter the corresponding working mode to ensure the safety of the operation.

[0007] The mounting bracket includes a "J"-shaped fixing frame fixedly connected to the upper end of the guardrail by bolts and a mounting cross frame arranged in the middle of the fixing frame.

[0008] In order to stably install the platform radar on the platform, a fixed frame that is raised upward in the shape of a "J" is used to protect the platform radar. In order to avoid unnecessary damage such as bumps caused by direct installation on the fixed frame and reduce the failure rate of the platform radar, a mounting cross frame is set and a through hole is opened at the corresponding position of the fixed frame to facilitate the signal transmission and reception of the platform radar. The clean space is convenient for cleaning work during the maintenance stage.

At the same time, the marker spotlight can be positioned at an angle after adjusting the angle by loosening or tightening the bolts or swinging up and down with the clamping mechanism. This allows marker spotlights of different heights to indicate the same marker area. It is also possible to achieve area markers of different ranges by adjusting the spotlight angle, and to expand or reduce the detection area by adjusting the detection range of the radar.

[0013] It also includes an audible and visual alarm and a buzzer, both of which are electrically connected to the main controller, the audible and visual alarm is installed at the edge of the bottom vehicle frame, and the buzzer is integrated in the platform controller; An audible and visual alarm and a buzzer are provided, which can emit an audible and visual alarm or a combination of the two in the corresponding working conditions to remind the operator of the working conditions of the current vehicle during operation and give the operator corresponding operation reminders.
