Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-sway control technology for bridge cranes, and in particular to an integrated control method and system for a double-sway bridge crane. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge cranes are key pieces of equipment in production and transportation, widely used in manufacturing, logistics warehousing, and port trade. The equipment mainly consists of a trolley, hook ropes, hoisting mechanism, drive motor, and crossbeam frame. In a single transport task, the motor drives the trolley, loaded with goods at its lower end, from the initial worktable to the designated working point. Once the trolley has reached its destination and the goods at its lower end are no longer swaying, the hoisting mechanism slowly places the goods onto the worktable. Furthermore, ensuring the stability and safety of transport is crucial when facing complex engineering environments (such as the effects of wind and waves during offshore operations). Therefore, achieving rapid positioning and effective suppression of goods swaying while improving the system's adaptability are key issues in crane transportation.

[0003] Among numerous crane anti-sway control methods, input shaping technology has been widely used due to its advantages such as simple structure and low cost. This technology shapes the input signal based on the inherent oscillation frequency of the crane system to reduce cargo swaying. Patent (CN201710007624.X) performs input shaping feedforward processing on the real-time measured hook sway angle and trolley displacement signals, and uses the processed signal to control the crane system, achieving precise trolley positioning and cargo sway suppression. Patent (CN202510394222.4) designs an input shaper based on the system transfer function to provide a preset acceleration control signal for the trolley. Results show that this method can effectively suppress cargo swaying. Addressing the performance degradation caused by input time delay and initial sway in engineering transportation, the articles (A robust input shaper for trajectory control of overhead cranes with non-zero initial states, 2021; On reference trajectory generation for overhead crane travel movements, 2022) propose input compensation and reparameterization methods, respectively. Results show that these methods can mitigate the impact of initial conditions on system performance to a certain extent. However, the lack of a feedback adjustment mechanism makes the control system face challenges when dealing with complex operating scenarios such as large changes in transportation conditions and external disturbances.

[0004] To address this issue and improve the dynamic performance and robustness of crane systems, recent research has focused on combining input shapers with various closed-loop control algorithms. The paper (Distributed delay adaptive output-based command shaping for different cable lengths of double-pendulum overhead cranes, 2024) proposes a composite control method combining an adaptive output algorithm with a distributed delay zero-vibration shaper. Results show that the developed system exhibits good dynamic performance and adaptability. Patent (CN202310097434.7) proposes a crane anti-sway control method integrating predictive control and an input shaper. This method ensures the system state is always within constraints while maintaining good dynamic performance. The paper (Control of an underactuated double-pendulum overhead crane using improved model reference command shaping: Design, simulation and experiment, 2021) combines a model reference command shaper with a PID controller, resulting in a system with good stability and ease of engineering deployment. Furthermore, the article (Combined input shaping and feedback control for double-pendulum systems, 2017) designed a composite control framework of double closed-loop PD feedback and input shaping.

[0005] The research on these composite control algorithms for bridge cranes has improved the dynamic performance and adaptability of the system to some extent. However, some problems still need to be solved and optimized: 1) The sway suppression performance of the system needs to be improved. The robustness of the current crane anti-sway control system to complex external disturbances and uncertainties needs to be improved. Cargo often has a certain amount of residual sway, which affects the efficiency of engineering transportation to some extent. 2) The design of the controller does not adequately address the double-pendulum effect. Most current research focuses on simplified single-pendulum models, but in engineering applications, the mass of the hook is not negligible, causing it to interact directly with the cargo and increasing the difficulty of positioning and anti-swing measures. 3) The application and deployment capabilities of the engineering need to be improved. The closed-loop mechanisms in the above studies rely heavily on prior set parameters. When the transportation environment is unknown, the parameters need to be readjusted to ensure optimal control performance. Therefore, their engineering application and deployment capabilities need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and the specific implementation can be determined according to the technical solution of the present invention and the actual situation.

[0029] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an integrated control method for a double-swing bridge crane, comprising the following steps: Step S101: Construct the dynamic equations of the double pendulum bridge crane system and calculate the swing dynamic equations of the hook and the cargo. Step S102: Based on the swing dynamics equation, and using the input shaping principle, design an input shaper for use in a double swing bridge crane system; Step S103: Set the target acceleration signal for the double pendulum bridge crane system and output the target acceleration signal to the input shaper to obtain a new target acceleration trapezoidal input signal; Step S104: Perform convolution operation on the target acceleration trapezoidal input signal to obtain the desired displacement trajectory; Step S105: Collect the actual acceleration signal of the double pendulum bridge crane and perform integration calculation to obtain the real-time displacement trajectory.

[0050] In summary, this invention improves the sway suppression and anti-interference performance of a double-swing bridge crane system by setting a mathematical model of the double-swing effect and introducing an input shaper. Based on the control system's control of the double-swing bridge crane, it enhances the system's sway suppression and anti-interference performance. Furthermore, through the setting of a multi-loop control system and a nonlinear PID-like integrated control system, the synergistic effect of input shaping and the controller fully considers the vibration frequency characteristics and real-time information of the double-swing bridge crane system. This results in the double-swing bridge crane system having good response speed and stability, reducing residual sway, improving the engineering transportation efficiency of the double-swing bridge crane system, and enhancing its application and deployment capabilities in engineering projects.

Figure 7-9 As shown.

[0052] Depend on Figure 7 It can be seen that both types of control systems can ensure the rapid positioning of the vehicle. For example... Figure 8The nonlinear PID integrated control system designed for the hook sway exhibits superior suppression performance, achieving zero residual sway of the hook more quickly. Regarding the relative sway between the hook and the cargo, this nonlinear PID integrated control system reduces the maximum sway angle from 0.78 degrees to 0.16 degrees, while achieving zero residual sway within 12 seconds. Figure 9 As shown above, the analysis demonstrates that the designed nonlinear PID integrated control system, by effectively coordinating the regulation capability of the nonlinear PID controller and the oscillation suppression performance of input shaping, can achieve superior dynamic performance.

[0053] In summary, this invention utilizes both a multi-loop control system and a nonlinear PID integrated control system, both of which offer the advantage of achieving composite control. The nonlinear PID integrated control system, based on the multi-loop control system, features a simple structure, ease of engineering implementation, and better control performance (sway suppression and stability). Meanwhile, the multi-loop control system has the advantage of low input.
