[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0058] Please refer to the following Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a flowchart of an anti-hooking control method for a reachstacker provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0059] The specific steps may include:

[0060] S101: Set the spreader height of the container reach stacker at the current moment as the current spreader height.

[0061] Among them, this embodiment can be applied to the vehicle controller of the container reach stacker. Multiple spreader locks are arranged on the spreader of the container reach stacker, and a pressure sensor is arranged in each spreader lock for detecting the force condition of the spreader lock.

[0062] The spreader lock is a device on the spreader of the container reach stacker for locking and unlocking the corner fittings of the container; the spreader lock can firmly fix the container on the spreader through cooperation with the corner fittings on the container, ensuring that the container will not fall off during the hoisting and transportation process.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 , which is an axonometric view of the spreader provided by the embodiment of the present application. The lock rod assembly 201 and the spreader lock 202 of the spreader are shown in the figure; as a feasible implementation manner, 4 spreader locks can be arranged on the spreader. Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 , which is a layout position diagram of the pressure sensors of the spreader lock provided by the embodiment of the present application. S1, S2, S3, and S4 in the figure represent the pressure sensors arranged in 4 spreader locks on the spreader.

[0064] A length and angle sensor can be arranged on the container reach stacker. According to the detection value of the length and angle sensor and the structural parameters of the container reach stacker, the spreader height of the container reach stacker at the current moment, that is, the current spreader height, can be calculated.

[0065] S102: If the current spreader height is less than the first threshold, determine whether a container landing signal is received; if so, proceed to S103; if not, end the process.

[0066] Among them, if the current spreader height is less than the first threshold, it indicates that the container reach stacker may perform an operation of lifting the container from the flatbed trailer (i.e., container discharging operation), and it can be determined whether a container landing signal is received.

[0067] The above container landing signal is the signal generated when the spreader lock completes the locking of the container; specifically, the container landing signal is used to confirm whether the spreader lock has correctly locked the corner fittings of the container. Only after the lock is correctly locked can the spreader safely lift the container; the container landing signal can be detected and sent by the sensors or mechanical devices on the spreader to ensure that the operator or the automated control system can accurately judge the locking state of the spreader.

[0068] If the current spreader height is less than the first threshold and the signal of container landing has been received, the operations of spreader lifting and hook connection detection in S103 - S105 can be entered; otherwise, enter the normal working state.

[0069] The above - mentioned first threshold is calculated based on the height of the flatbed trailer, the track height, and the container height. The track height is the height of the track where the flatbed trailer is located.

[0070] S103: Control the spreader to lift in response to the lifting instruction, and determine the pressure detection results of the pressure sensor in the first lifting state and the second lifting state respectively.

[0071] Before this step, there may also be an operation to judge whether the lifting instruction has been received. If the lifting instruction has been received, control the spreader to lift in response to the lifting instruction, and determine the pressure detection results of the pressure sensor in the first lifting state and the second lifting state respectively during the lifting process of the spreader.

[0072] The first lifting state is the state where the current spreader height is equal to the first preset height, the second lifting state is the state where the current spreader height is equal to the second preset height. The first preset height is the height at which the lower surface of the container leaves the flatbed trailer, and the second preset height is the height at which the lower corner fitting of the container disengages from the locking device of the flatbed trailer; when the container is placed on the flatbed trailer, the lower corner fitting of the container cooperates with the locking device of the flatbed trailer for locking.

[0073] The above - mentioned first preset height is determined by the height of the flatbed trailer, the track height, and the container height. The second preset height is determined by the height of the flatbed trailer, the track height, the container height, and the height of the locking device of the flatbed trailer. The locking device of the flatbed trailer may include F - TR lock, integral fixed locking device, push - pull translation locking device, etc. Here, the locking device is not specifically limited. The locking device refers to the distance between the lowest point and the highest point of the locking device in the vertical direction. The container height refers to the height among the length, width, and height dimensions of the container. F - TR represents the model of the lock.

[0074] S104: Determine the force change information of the spreader lock head according to the pressure detection results, and judge whether the lower corner fitting of the container is hooked with the locking device of the flatbed trailer according to the force change information.

[0075] Among them, when there is no connection between the lower corner fittings of the container and the locking device of the flatbed trailer, when the spreader lock correctly locks the upper corner fittings of the container and lifts it, the force is mainly concentrated at the connection point between the spreader lock and the upper corner fittings. At this time, the force detected by the pressure sensor is uniform and stable, and the force detected by the pressure sensor in the above situation is predictable. When the lower corner fittings of the container are connected to the locking device of the flatbed trailer, due to the mechanical constraint caused by the connection, additional lateral forces or torsional forces will be generated during the lifting process, that is, the container will be subject to additional resistance during the lifting process.

[0076] During the lifting process, it can be judged whether the lower corner fittings of the container are connected to the locking device of the flatbed trailer according to the force change of the spreader lock. Specifically, in this embodiment, the force change information of the spreader lock can be determined according to the pressure detection results of the pressure sensor in the first lifting state and the second lifting state respectively, and then it can be judged whether the lower corner fittings of the container are connected to the locking device of the flatbed trailer according to the force change information.

[0077] S105: If the lower corner fittings of the container are connected to the locking device of the flatbed trailer, control the spreader to stop lifting and generate an alarm message.

[0078] Among them, if it is detected that the lower corner fittings of the container are connected to the locking device of the flatbed trailer, the spreader can be controlled to stop lifting and an alarm message can be generated to prevent safety accidents.

[0079] This embodiment determines the current spreader height of the reach stacker, and controls the spreader to lift when the current spreader height is less than the first threshold and a container landing signal is received. A plurality of spreader locks are provided on the spreader of the above reach stacker, and pressure sensors are provided in the spreader locks. The spreader locks can lock the container to lift the container, and the pressure sensors can detect the pressure exerted by the container on each spreader lock during the lifting process of the spreader. This embodiment obtains the pressure detection results of the pressure sensor in the first lifting state (the lower surface of the container leaves the flatbed trailer) and the second lifting state (the lower corner fittings are disengaged from the locking device) respectively. During the lifting process of the container, the force situation between the locking device and the lower corner fittings will vary significantly depending on whether there is a connection. This embodiment can determine the force changes of each spreader lock in the first lifting state and the second lifting state by analyzing the above pressure detection results, and then judge whether the lower corner fittings of the container are connected to the locking device of the flatbed trailer based on the force change information, so as to take corresponding treatment measures when a connection is detected. Therefore, this embodiment can accurately judge whether the lower corner fittings of the container are connected to the locking device of the flatbed trailer, and improve the operation safety of the reach stacker.

[0080] As for Figure 1For further introduction of the corresponding embodiments, during the process of determining the force change information based on the pressure detection results, the force change of a single spreader lock head can be determined, or the force change of the entire spreader can be determined. Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0081] Step A1: Determine the first pressure value of each spreader lock head in the first lifting state, and calculate the first total force value of the spreader in the first lifting state according to the first pressure values of all the spreader lock heads.

[0082] Specifically, in this step, the first pressure values of all the spreader lock heads can be added together to obtain the first total force value of the spreader in the first lifting state.

[0083] Step A2: Determine the second pressure value of each spreader lock head in the second lifting state, and calculate the second total force value of the spreader in the second lifting state according to the second pressure values of all the spreader lock heads.

[0084] Specifically, in this step, the second pressure values of all the spreader lock heads can also be added together to obtain the second total force value of the spreader in the second lifting state.

[0085] Step A3: Calculate the pressure difference of each spreader lock head in the first lifting state and the second lifting state respectively according to the first pressure value and the second pressure value, and set the maximum value among all the pressure differences as the maximum lock head pressure difference.

[0086] Specifically, in this step, the absolute value obtained by subtracting the first pressure value from the second pressure value of the same spreader lock head can be set as the pressure difference. Each spreader lock head has its corresponding pressure difference, and in this application, the maximum value among all the pressure differences is set as the maximum lock head pressure difference.

[0087] Step A4: Calculate the total spreader force difference according to the first total force value and the second total force value.

[0088] Specifically, in this step, the absolute value obtained by subtracting the first total force value from the second total force value can be set as the total spreader force difference.

[0089] Step A5: Set the maximum lock head pressure difference and the total spreader force difference as the force change information.

[0090] Specifically, the force change information includes the maximum pressure difference of the lock head and the total force difference of the spreader. In this embodiment, the following method can be used to determine whether the lower corner fitting of the container is hooked to the locking device of the flatbed trailer: Determine whether the maximum pressure difference of the lock head is greater than the second threshold to obtain a first judgment result; Determine whether the total force difference of the spreader is greater than the third threshold to obtain a second judgment result; If both the first judgment result and the second judgment result are yes, it is determined that the lower corner fitting of the container is hooked to the locking device of the flatbed trailer. If the first judgment result and the second judgment result are not both yes, it is determined that the lower corner fitting of the container is not hooked to the locking device of the flatbed trailer.

[0091] As for Figure 1 For a further introduction to the corresponding embodiment, the lifting speed can be controlled in stages during the lifting of the spreader, so as to lift at a low speed in the early stage of the spreader lifting, and then control the lifting speed of the spreader according to the opening of the handle. Specifically, the process of controlling the spreader to lift in response to the lifting instruction includes the following steps:

[0092] Step B1: Set the spreader height when the container landing signal is received as the initial spreader height.

[0093] Step B2: If the lifting instruction is received, set the difference between the current spreader height and the initial spreader height as the spreader height change value.

[0094] Step B3: If the spreader height change value is less than the fourth threshold, control the spreader to lift at a preset speed.

[0095] Step B4: If the spreader height change value is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, control the spreader to lift according to the opening of the handle.

[0096] Specifically, the above fourth threshold is set according to the height of the locking device of the flatbed trailer. If the spreader height change value is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, determine the target speed according to the opening of the handle, and control the spreader to lift according to the target speed.

[0097] As for Figure 1 For a further introduction to the corresponding embodiment, before determining the pressure detection results of the pressure sensor in the first lifting state and the second lifting state respectively, the spreader height when the container landing signal is received can also be set as the initial spreader height; Add the first height change value to the initial spreader height to obtain the first preset height; Add the second height change value to the initial spreader height to obtain the second preset height; Wherein, the first height change value is less than the second height change value, the first height change value and the second height change value are determined according to the structural parameters of the locking device of the flatbed trailer, and both the first height change value and the second height change value are greater than 0.

[0098] In the above manner, the difference between the current spreader height and the initial spreader height can be set as the current spreader height change value. If the current spreader height change value is equal to the first height change value, it is determined that the reach stacker is in the first lifting state; if the current spreader height change value is equal to the second height change value, it is determined that the reach stacker is in the second lifting state.

[0099] As a further introduction to the Figure 1 corresponding embodiment, before setting the spreader height of the reach stacker at the current moment as the current spreader height, the spreader height at the current moment can also be determined through the following operations:

[0100] Step C1: Collect the extension distance and lifting angle of the reach stacker.

[0101] The above extension distance and lifting angle are the extension distance and lifting angle of the telescopic boom of the reach stacker at the current moment relative to the reference state, and the above reference state is the state where the telescopic boom of the reach stacker is retracted to the shortest and the spreader is at the lowest point.

[0102] Step C2: Calculate the distance between the lower edge of the spreader lock head and the ground according to the extension distance, the lifting angle and the structural parameters.

[0103] Among them, the structural parameters include the horizontal distance between the hinge points, the vertical distance between the hinge points, the first height and the second height. The horizontal distance between the hinge points is the horizontal distance between the upper hinge point and the rear hinge point (i.e., the force fulcrum), the vertical distance between the hinge points is the vertical distance between the upper hinge point and the rear hinge point, the first height is the vertical distance between the upper hinge point and the lower edge of the spreader lock head, and the second height is the vertical distance between the rear hinge point and the ground. The upper hinge point is the hinge point between the telescopic boom and the spreader of the reach stacker, and the rear hinge point is the hinge point between the boom and the vehicle body of the reach stacker. The lower edge of the spreader lock head is the lowest point of the spreader lock head, and the boom of the reach stacker includes a telescopic boom and a basic boom.

[0104] Specifically, the above horizontal distance between the hinge points is the horizontal distance between the upper hinge point and the rear hinge point in the reference state, and the above vertical distance between the hinge points is the vertical distance between the upper hinge point and the rear hinge point in the reference state.

[0105] Step C3: Set the distance between the lower edge of the spreader lock head and the ground as the spreader height of the reach stacker at the current moment.

[0106] The following uses an embodiment in actual application to illustrate the process described in the above embodiment.

[0107] Since the F-TR lock of railway containers was put into operation, it has become the main lock type for special flat cars of railway containers. The unique eagle head structure design of the F-TR lock of railway containers ensures the safety of containers during transportation and solves the safety problem of relying on bundling and reinforcement to prevent empty containers from falling. However, at the same time, it brings greater safety risks to the loading and unloading operations after replacement. During the operation of lifting containers with a reach stacker, if the operation is improper, it is very easy for the corner fittings of the container to fail to unlock, and even the vehicle is lifted together, resulting in derailment accidents of the vehicle.

[0108] At present, most of the existing anti-hooking control systems for F-TR locks adopt a control strategy of comparing the weight value obtained by lifting the container point by point with the preset weight value of the container pre-entered into the system, and prohibiting the boom from lifting when the point-by-point weight value is greater than the preset weight value. However, for the above anti-hooking control technology of F-TR locks, the preset weight of the container needs to be known in advance, and when the box specifications or total weight change, the preset weight value needs to be frequently re-entered, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0109] This embodiment proposes an anti-hooking control scheme for the F-TR lock of a reach stacker for containers, which combines the calculation of the total weight and the pressure change of a single lock head.

The administrator can set adjustable parameters 1 to n through the interactive instrument.

[0111] The vehicle controller records the lifting height of the spreader when the spreader lands on the container by comprehensively analyzing the values of the angle, length, and boom geometric parameters, and controls the boom lifting speed in segments according to the change of the boom lifting height after landing. The controller also calculates the total weight value of the container goods and the sub-weight values of each single lock head based on the pressure sensors installed on the four lock heads of the spreader, judges whether the F-TR lock is hooked when lifting the container according to the changes of the total weight and the sub-weight within different lifting height change ranges, and executes the corresponding safety control strategy to avoid the occurrence of greater accidents.

[0112] Information interaction is carried out between the bus instrument, the control handle, the ACQ sensor, the vehicle controller and the spreader controller through the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus; the administrator can input the following adjustable parameters through the instrument according to the trailer specifications: the maximum allowable total weight change value of the system , the maximum allowable uneven weight change value , the boom speed limit lifting height value , the F-TR lock function trigger height value and the opening value of the proportional valve for lifting in the speed limit section ; the accuracy and efficiency of system operation can be adjusted through the above five adjustable parameters.

[0126] Step D4: The vehicle controller judges the current spreader height value . When , the system enters step D5; when , the system enters the normal working state.

[0127] Step D5: The vehicle controller determines the current container-carrying status of the spreader through the spreader controller. When the container-carrying signal is true (indicating that the spreader has been pressed on the container), the vehicle controller records the initial height value of the spreader at this time and enters step D6.

[0128] Step D6: The vehicle controller determines the state of the operating handle. If it is detected that the handle issues a lifting command, the vehicle controller VCU control system enters step D7.

[0129] Step D7: The vehicle controller obtains the opening degree of the handle when it is lifted according to the handle signal , calculate the real-time spreader height change value . .when When the vehicle controller VCU controls the boom lifting valve Y1, The small opening of the lifting proportional valve Y1 during lifting ensures the accuracy of weighing and avoids the hook caused by the lifting speed being too fast and not being able to make calculations and judgments in time. The specific calculation is as follows:

[0132] Step D8: When the vehicle is in the sampling point 1 state, the lower surface of the container just leaves the upper surface of the special flat car. (like Figure 6 As shown), the vehicle controller collects the data of the four pressure sensors S1~S4 on the sling lock to obtain the weight values ​​of the four locks of the sling at this time. , , and , calculate the total weight of the container cargo collected at the current sampling point When the vehicle is at sampling point 2, the lower corner of the container just leaves the F-TR lock on the special flat car. (like Figure 7 As shown), the vehicle controller calculates the weight values ​​of the four locks of the sling at this time. , , and , calculate the total weight of the container cargo collected at the current sampling point . and The value is determined by the locking head structure characteristics on the special flatbed vehicle.

[0133] That is, the above-mentioned first height change value, That is, the above-mentioned second height change value, That is, the above-mentioned first total force value, That is, the above-mentioned second total force value. The state of sampling point 1 is the above-mentioned first lifting state (that is, the state where the lower surface of the container just leaves the upper surface of the flatbed trailer), and the state of sampling point 2 is the above-mentioned second lifting state (the state where the lower corner fitting of the container just disengages from the locking device of the flatbed trailer). Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a relative position diagram of the lower corner fitting of the container and the F-TR lock on the flatbed vehicle in the state of sampling point 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application; please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a relative position diagram of the lower corner fitting of the container and the F-TR lock on the flatbed vehicle in the state of sampling point 2 provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the lower corner fitting 601 of the container, the F-TR lock head 602, the structural parameter and the structural parameter .

[0134] In a feasible implementation manner, the values of the above parameters are as follows: = 30mm, = 100mm.

[0135] The total weight values of the container goods at the above two sampling points , are calculated as follows:

[0136] ;

[0137] .

[0138] Step D9: When and the change value of the weight of a single container lock head , it indicates that the F-TR lock is hooked. The vehicle controller controls the opening of the lifting proportional valve Y1 to 0, prohibits the spreader from continuing to lift, and controls the buzzer alarm H01 to alarm, and a pop-up box on the instrument prompts "The F-TR lock is hooked, lifting is prohibited". The maximum allowable total weight change value and the maximum allowable weight change value of the system are determined by the specifications of the F-TR special trailer weight specifications.

[0139] The change values of the weight pressure of the container lock heads at the two sampling points are calculated as follows:

The upper backing plate 10 and the lower backing plate 8 designed on the upper and lower surfaces of the sensor can ensure that the pressure sensor is fully stressed when lifting the container.

[0143] Lifting height limit value of the boom is determined by the lock head height value of the F-TR lock flat car. When the height change value of the spreader is such that, the boom can only lift at a uniform low speed to ensure the accuracy of weighing and avoid snagging due to the lifting speed being too fast to calculate and judge in time.

[0144] F-TR lock function trigger height value is determined by comprehensively considering the height of the flatbed trailer , the height of the railway track and the height value of the 9-foot container (2.89 m). , in this application example, , when the spreader height value is greater than the value, it indicates that the vehicle is not in the F-TR lock container unloading condition, does not trigger the F-TR lock anti-snagging function, and does not affect the working efficiency of the non-flat car container unloading condition.

[0145] This embodiment solves the safety problems such as vehicle derailment caused by the failure of the F-TR lock head to open in time when the container front loader performs container lifting operations on a flat car equipped with an F-TR lock head, so as to improve the operation feeling and safety of the vehicle.

[0157] Step E11: Judge whether and ; if yes, go to Step E12; if no, end the process.

[0158] Step E12: The vehicle controller controls the opening of the hoisting proportional valve to 0, the buzzer alarm sounds, and a text warning pops up on the instrument.

[0159] This embodiment proposes a container reachstacker F-TR lock anti-hooking control system and method that combines the calculation of the total weight and the change in the pressure of a single lock head. The controller is based on the total weight value of the container cargo and the pressure values of each single lock head installed on the four lock heads of the spreader, and judges the state of the F-TR lock when lifting the container according to the changes in the total weight and the single lock head pressure within different lifting height change ranges. According to the calculated results, it comprehensively judges whether the F-TR lock is detached from the container and executes corresponding safety control strategies.

[0160] In this embodiment, the F-TR lock function trigger height value is introduced , which is determined by comprehensively considering the flatbed trailer height , the railway track height and the 9-foot container height value (2.89 m). Only when the spreader height value , the system triggers the F-TR lock anti-hooking function. When the spreader height value is greater than value, it means that the vehicle is not in the F-TR lock container unloading working condition, and the F-TR lock anti-hooking function is not triggered. This control method can avoid triggering the anti-hooking function in non-flatbed vehicle container unloading working conditions, ensuring that the working efficiency of the vehicle when lifting more than two rows of containers is not affected.

[0161] In this embodiment, a combined F-TR lock hooking judgment method of the total weight of the goods and the change value of the pressure of a single lock head is introduced. Only when both of them exceed the range is it determined that the F-TR lock is hooked, which can prevent false alarms to the greatest extent while ensuring safety. Compared with the conventional multi-point lifting control method, in this embodiment, when the F-TR function is triggered, the lifting section can be automatically divided into a speed-limited section and a non-speed-limited section during container unloading. Unless the system determines that it is in the F-TR hooking working condition, the lifting action will not stop in the middle, reducing the impact caused by the frequent start and stop of the conventional point-by-point lifting control.

[0162] This embodiment combines the container landing condition of the spreader. When the spreader is in the container landing state obtained through the spreader controller, a new sampling calculation cycle will start, and the driver's judgment is not required throughout the process. Compared with the existing solutions on the market that require the driver to actively trigger the point-by-point lifting function, the complexity of the operation is greatly simplified. In this embodiment, the container weight does not need to be preset and input by the driver, but is automatically calculated by the controller, greatly improving the convenience of the operation.

The anti-hooking control system of the reach stacker includes: A spreader height determination module for setting the spreader height of the reach stacker at the current moment as the current spreader height; The lifting control module is configured to determine whether a container landing signal is received if the current height of the spreader is less than a first threshold; wherein, the container landing signal is a signal generated when the spreader lock head completes the locking of the container; if so, it controls the spreader to lift in response to a lifting instruction, and determines the pressure detection results of the pressure sensor in a first lifting state and a second lifting state respectively; wherein, the first lifting state is a state where the current height of the spreader is equal to a first preset height, the second lifting state is a state where the current height of the spreader is equal to a second preset height, the first preset height is the height at which the lower surface of the container leaves the flatbed trailer, and the second preset height is the height at which the lower corner fitting of the container disengages from the locking device of the flatbed trailer; when the container is placed on the flatbed trailer, the lower corner fitting of the container cooperates with the locking device of the flatbed trailer to lock. The coupling detection module is configured to determine the force change information of the spreader lock head according to the pressure detection results, and judge whether the lower corner fitting of the container is coupled with the locking device of the flatbed trailer according to the force change information; if so, it controls the spreader to stop lifting and generates an alarm message.
