It realizes the continuous transportation of bulk materials in the cabin through a chain bucket lifting mechanism.

In the traditional operation mode, the spatial positioning of the material taking head mainly depends on manual operation experience, and the protection technology mainly uses a mechanical pull rope limit switch by arranging pull rope triggering devices around the lifting mechanism frame.

The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0028] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary system architecture shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1As shown in the figure, the system architecture may include a material handling head 101 and a computer device 102. Among them, the material handling head 101 includes at least two laser ranging sensors, which are evenly arranged around the material handling head with the material handling head 101 as the center, and includes a buffer mechanism, and each buffer mechanism is evenly arranged around the material handling head with the material handling head 101 as the center. The computer device 102 may be at least one of a microcomputer, an embedded computer, an industrial computer, a network computer, etc. The computer device 102 determines the current risk level of entering and leaving the warehouse by obtaining the real-time distance parameter between the material handling head 101 and the obstacle area, matches the target anti-collision execution strategy according to the real-time distance parameter and the risk level division threshold information, and generates an anti-collision control instruction according to the target anti-collision execution strategy, so that the ship unloader controls the entry and exit of the material handling head 101 according to the anti-collision control instruction.

[0030] Schematically, the computer device 102 determines the current risk level of entering and leaving the warehouse by obtaining the real-time distance parameter between the material handling head 101 and the obstacle area, matches the target anti-collision execution strategy based on the current risk level of entering and leaving the warehouse, and generates an anti-collision control instruction according to the target anti-collision execution strategy, so that the ship unloader controls the entry and exit of the material handling head 101 according to the anti-collision control instruction; in this application, by obtaining the real-time distance parameter between the material handling head 101 and the obstacle area, the position of the material handling head 101 can be accurately determined, no longer relying solely on manual experience, but determining the current risk level of entering and leaving the warehouse according to the real-time distance parameter and the risk level division threshold information. By setting different risk level thresholds, the risk can be judged in advance when the material handling head 101 approaches the obstacle, realizing pre-collision warning, and taking different control measures at different risk levels, rather than directly stopping work for adjustment, which can improve the efficiency of the loading and unloading process while ensuring safety.

[0031] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of a method for controlling the entry and exit of a material handling head shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. This method for controlling the entry and exit of a material handling head can be executed by a computing processing device, and this computing processing device can be Figure 1 the computer device 102 shown in Figure 2 As shown, the flowchart of this method for controlling the entry and exit of a material handling head at least includes steps S210 to S230, which are introduced in detail as follows:

[0032] In step S210, obtain the real-time distance parameter between the material handling head and the obstacle area.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, obtain a plurality of ranging parameters of at least two laser ranging sensors, and perform weighted average calculation on the plurality of ranging parameters according to the weight ratio of each laser ranging sensor to obtain the real-time distance parameter.

[0034] Among them, at least two of the above laser distance sensors are evenly arranged around the material taking head with the material taking head as the center, and the weight ratio of each of the above laser distance sensors is determined according to the relative angle between the installation position of the laser distance sensor and the hatch.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a material taking head device shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Four laser distance sensors are provided, installed at intervals of 90 degrees on the front, rear, left, and right sides. The detection angle coverage range of each laser distance sensor needs to partially overlap to ensure 360-degree monitoring in the horizontal direction. Each laser distance sensor synchronously collects multiple ranging parameters between the material taking head and the hatch or the obstacle area at a fixed frequency to form a real-time data stream.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, through an attitude sensor or other attitude sensing devices, the relative angle between the traveling direction of the material taking head and the center line of the hatch is obtained in real time, and the weight ratio of each laser distance sensor is determined according to the relative angle. Among them, the weight of each laser distance sensor is proportional to the cosine value of the angle between it and the positive direction of the hatch. In some embodiments, when the relative angle between any laser distance sensor and the hatch is less than 30°, its weight ratio is set to more than 80%.

[0037] The effective ranging data is weighted and averaged according to the weight coefficient, and the real-time distance parameter is the sum of the products of the ranging parameters of each laser distance sensor and the weight ratio of the corresponding laser distance sensor.

[0038] In step S220, the current risk level of entering and leaving the bin is determined according to the real-time distance parameter and the risk level division threshold information.

[0039] In step S230, a target anti-collision execution strategy is matched based on the current risk level of entering and leaving the bin, and an anti-collision control instruction is generated according to the target anti-collision execution strategy, so that the ship unloader controls the entry and exit of the material taking head according to the anti-collision control instruction.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the risk level division threshold information includes a first safety threshold and a second safety threshold, and the first safety threshold is greater than the second safety threshold.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, if the real-time distance parameter is greater than or equal to the first safety threshold, it is determined that there is no risk in the current entry and exit of the bin.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, if the real-time distance parameter is less than the first safety threshold and greater than or equal to the second safety threshold, and the current risk level of entering and leaving the warehouse is determined to be a secondary risk, the target anti-collision execution strategy includes sending a deceleration control signal and giving a secondary warning at the terminal, and the secondary warning includes a text prompt.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, if the real-time distance parameter is less than the second safety threshold and the current risk level of entering and leaving the warehouse is determined to be a primary risk, the target anti-collision execution strategy includes sending an emergency stop control signal and giving a primary warning at the terminal, and the primary warning includes an audible and visual alarm, a text prompt, and a voice prompt.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, after sending the emergency stop control signal and giving the primary warning at the terminal, it further includes obtaining the deformation parameters of each buffer mechanism. The buffer mechanisms are evenly arranged around the material taking head with the material taking head as the center. If the deformation parameter of at least one buffer mechanism among the buffer mechanisms exceeds the preset safety deformation threshold, a secondary protection strategy is executed, and the secondary protection strategy includes cutting off the power source or triggering reverse braking, either one.

[0045] As Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a material taking head device shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Four buffer mechanisms are provided, installed at intervals of 90 degrees on the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right sides and at intervals with a laser distance sensor. Each buffer mechanism is provided with a deformation parameter detection sensing device.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, the text prompt at least includes the real-time distance parameter between the current material taking head and the obstacle area and the current operating speed parameter of entering and leaving the warehouse.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, before determining the current risk level of entering and leaving the warehouse according to the real-time distance parameter and the risk level division threshold information, initial level division threshold information, hatch type information, hatch image information, and environmental wind speed parameters are obtained. According to the hatch type information and the hatch image information, the abnormal state of hatch deformation is determined, and the initial level division threshold information is corrected according to the abnormal state of hatch deformation and the environmental wind speed parameter to obtain the risk level division threshold information.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the abnormal state of hatch deformation includes that the hatch is deformed and the hatch is normal.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, if the abnormal hatch deformation state is that the hatch is deformed and the environmental wind speed parameter is greater than or equal to the preset wind speed threshold, the initial grade division threshold information is corrected according to the first preset correction coefficient and the second preset correction coefficient to obtain the risk grade division threshold information.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, if the abnormal hatch deformation state is that the hatch is deformed and the environmental wind speed parameter is less than the preset wind speed threshold, the initial grade division threshold information is corrected according to the first preset correction coefficient to obtain the risk grade division threshold information.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, if the abnormal hatch deformation state is that the hatch is normal and the environmental wind speed parameter is greater than or equal to the preset wind speed threshold, the initial grade division threshold information is corrected according to the second preset correction coefficient to obtain the risk grade division threshold information.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, if the abnormal hatch deformation state is that the hatch is normal and the environmental wind speed parameter is less than the preset wind speed threshold, the initial grade division threshold information is determined as the risk grade division threshold information.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the hatch type information can obtain the preset parameters of the hatch from the database or the operation interface, including the shape, standard size, material and structural strength. The hatch point cloud data or image is collected in real time by laser scanning or camera. In some implementable environments, the surface fitting is performed on the hatch point cloud data scanned by laser to generate a standard geometric model, and then the local maximum deviation value between the actual point cloud and the standard model is calculated. If there is a local depression or overall inclination, it is determined that the hatch is deformed. For a special-shaped hatch, a segmented fitting strategy can be adopted to calculate the deformation amount in different regions. Among them, the first preset correction coefficient is the deformation abnormal correction coefficient. If the hatch is normal, the first preset correction coefficient is 1. If the hatch is deformed, the first preset correction coefficient is 1.5. The second preset correction coefficient is the wind speed correction coefficient. If the environmental wind speed parameter is greater than or equal to the preset wind speed threshold of 5 meters per second, the second preset correction coefficient is 1.2.

[0054] The present application incorporates the hatch structure characteristics, real-time deformation state, and environmental wind speed into a unified decision-making model, and realizes the adaptive adjustment of the threshold with the risk level by quantifying the correction coefficient, balancing safety and operation efficiency, and can avoid misjudgment or missed judgment.

[0055] It should be noted that the above deformation monitoring process can also determine whether there is deformation through simple comparison of images, which can simplify the process calculation amount and improve the decision-making efficiency. Secondly, the implementation parameters, the first preset correction coefficient, the second preset correction coefficient, and the preset wind speed threshold in the above specific implementation environment are only exemplary numerical values of the embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the adjustment and definition of parameters in the actual application process.

[0056] As Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 is a flowchart of a specific method for controlling the entry and exit of the material taking head shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. First, after the device is started, the laser rangefinder obtains data in real time and sends the data to the central control unit. The above laser rangefinder is consistent with the laser ranging sensor in the above embodiment.

[0057] Judge whether the current distance is greater than the safety distance. If the current distance is greater than or equal to the safety distance, control is maintained at the current speed, where the safety distance is the same as the first safety threshold in the above embodiment.

[0058] If the current distance is less than the safety distance, further judge whether the current distance is within the deceleration threshold range. If the current distance is within the deceleration threshold range, control is maintained at the current speed, where the maximum value within the deceleration threshold range is the same as the second safety threshold in the above embodiment.

[0059] If the current distance is less than the minimum value of the deceleration threshold range, adjust the speed according to the proportionality coefficient. If the emergency stop area is not entered after the adjustment is completed, update the user interface. If the emergency stop area is entered after the adjustment is completed, send an emergency stop signal. At this time, if a collision occurs, the buffer spring absorbs the collision energy. If no collision occurs, update the user interface.

By setting different risk level thresholds, the risk can be judged in advance when the material taking head approaches the obstacle, pre-collision warning can be realized, and different control measures can be taken at different risk levels, rather than directly stopping work for adjustment, which can improve the efficiency of the loading and unloading process while ensuring safety.
