DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the hook control method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0053] Step S101: obtaining a first measurement value from a first obstacle recognition module to an obstacle, and a second measurement value from a second obstacle recognition module to an obstacle.

[0054] Specifically, the first obstacle recognition module is arranged at the upper end of the hook, and the second obstacle recognition module is arranged at the lower end of the hook, and the distance of the obstacle is detected at the same time, which has higher accuracy.

[0055] Step S102: Compare the first measurement value with the first safety distance and compare the second measurement value with the second safety distance; if the first measurement value is smaller than the first safety distance or the second measurement value is smaller than the second safety distance, send a command to stop the hook from descending.

[0056] Specifically, when the hook is lowered to lift the cargo, the controller compares the first measurement value with the first safety distance. If the first measurement value is greater than the first safety distance, the hook continues to descend; if the first measurement value is less than the first safety distance, the hook stops descending and triggers other operation instructions, such as prompting manual operation. When the hook is lowering the cargo, the controller compares the second measurement value with the second safety distance. If the second measurement value is greater than the second safety distance, the hook continues to descend; if the second measurement value is less than the second safety distance, the hook stops descending and triggers other operation instructions. At the same time, the controller calculates the diameter of the steel coil based on the first measurement value and the second measurement value and sends it to the controller.

[0057] Step S103: If the hook stops descending, a hole alignment instruction is sent.

[0058] Step S104: Control the movement of the hook according to the hole alignment instruction.

[0059] Specifically, the driving mechanism determines the moving direction of the hook according to the hole alignment instruction sent by the controller, and drives the hook to move.

[0060] Step S105: If the hole sensing module on the hook senses the inner hole of the steel coil, a command to stop the movement of the hook is sent.

[0061] Specifically, if the hole sensing module detects that the inner hole of the steel coil is aligned, the hook stops moving; if the hole sensing module detects that the inner hole of the steel coil is not aligned, the controller sends a hole alignment instruction to the driving mechanism according to the detection result, and the driving mechanism drives the hook to move in the forward direction according to the hole alignment instruction, and the hole sensing module detects the inner hole of the steel coil in real time. When the hole sensing module detects the inner hole of the steel coil, the driving mechanism stops moving to determine whether the hook is ahead of the position of the inner hole of the steel coil due to inertia; if the hook is ahead of the position of the inner hole of the steel coil, the driving mechanism drives the hook to move in the reverse direction, and the hole sensing module detects the inner hole of the steel coil in real time. The above operation is repeated until the hole sensing module detects that the inner hole of the steel coil is aligned.

[0062] Further, after the hole is completed, perform the following operations:

[0063] The controller sends a hook closing instruction to the opening and closing mechanism;

[0064] The opening and closing mechanism controls the hook to close according to the hook closing instruction;

[0065] If the clamping sensing module senses the steel coil, the controller sends a command to the opening and closing mechanism to stop the hook from closing.

[0066] Specifically, during the closing process of the hook, the hole-aligning sensing module continues to detect the position of the inner hole of the steel coil. When the inner hole is blocked, the hook stops closing. After the hole-aligning sensing module detects that the inner hole of the steel coil is aligned, the hook continues to close. After the clamping sensing module on the hook senses that the hook clamps the steel coil, the hook stops closing, to avoid damage to the hook or clamping of the steel coil caused by misoperation.

[0067] Furthermore, if the load-bearing sensing module senses that the hook has entered a load-bearing state, the controller sends a prohibition instruction to the opening and closing mechanism.

[0068] Specifically, the hook lifts the steel coil and presses down the weighing detection probe of the weighing sensing module, entering the detection range of the load-bearing sensing module. The hook enters the load-bearing state, and the controller prohibits the hook from opening and closing to prevent workers from accidentally opening the hook.

[0069] Furthermore, when the hook rises to lift the steel coil, the weighing module obtains the weight of the steel coil and sends it to the controller.

[0070] Furthermore, during the lifting process of the hook, the QR code camera module obtains the QR code information on the steel coil; the controller receives the QR code information and binds the QR code information with the weight and diameter information of the steel coil.

[0071] Specifically, the QR code photographing module takes a photo of the QR code information on the steel coil and uploads it to the controller. The controller reads the QR code information and binds it with the weight and diameter information of the steel coil.

[0072] The hook control method provided in the first embodiment of the present invention can quickly collect cargo information and accurately align the holes through obstacle distance sensing and hole sensing, thereby reducing manual labor intensity and improving work efficiency.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, the hook control method provided by the second embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0074] Step S201: Record the order in which the hook passes through the first position sensor and the second position sensor.

[0075] Step S202: determining the direction in which the hook deviates from the origin according to the order in which the hook passes through the first position sensor and the second position sensor.

[0076] Step S203: If a hook return instruction is received, a hook rotation instruction is sent according to the direction in which the hook deviates from the origin.

[0077] Step S204: controlling the hook to rotate according to the hook rotation instruction.

[0078] Step S205: If the origin sensor senses that the hook has returned to its original position, a command to stop the hook rotation is sent.

[0079] Specifically, during the operation, the controller records the order in which the hook passes through the first position sensor and the second position sensor, thereby determining the rotation direction of the hook. After the operation is completed, the controller receives the hook return instruction and detects whether the hook is at the origin. If the hook is at the origin, the drive mechanism does not perform the action; if it is detected that the hook is not at the origin, the controller determines whether the hook returns to the origin in a forward or reverse rotation according to the rotation direction of the hook during the operation, and drives the hook to return to the origin.

[0080] The hook control method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention records the rotation direction of the hook during rotation. When the hook needs to be returned to its original position, the hook is controlled to return to its original position according to the recorded rotation direction. No manual calibration is required and the hook returns to its original position automatically.

[0081] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a hook device, such as Figure 3 As shown, the hook device is used to clamp and lift the steel coil, including a hook 1, a controller (not shown in the figure), an opening and closing mechanism 11 for controlling the opening and closing of the hook 1, and a driving mechanism 12 for controlling the movement of the hook 1, and the opening and closing mechanism 11 and the driving mechanism 12 are both connected to the controller. The hook 1 includes a crossbeam 13, a hook portion 14 located on the upper part of the crossbeam 13, and two booms 15 located at both ends of the crossbeam 13 for clamping the steel coil, the hook portion 14 is used to connect to an external crane, and the boom 15 includes a vertical plate 151 and a horizontal plate 152; one end of the vertical plate 151 is connected to one end of the crossbeam 13, and the other end is connected to one end of the crossbeam 152; the opening and closing mechanism 11 is located on the crossbeam 13, connected to the two booms 15, and is used to control the opening and closing of the booms 15, and the driving mechanism 12 is located on the upper side of the crossbeam 13, and is used to control the movement and rotation of the hook 1.

[0082] The hook device also includes: an obstacle distance detection module 2, a hole sensing module 3 and a hook return sensing module 4, and the obstacle distance detection module 2, the hole sensing module 3 and the hook return sensing module 4 are all connected to the controller.

[0083] The obstacle distance detection module 2 includes a first obstacle recognition module 21 and a second obstacle recognition module 22. The first obstacle recognition module 21 is located at the lower end of the opening and closing mechanism 11, and the second obstacle recognition module 22 is located at the lower end of the horizontal plate 152 of one of the arms 15. The obstacle distance detection module 2 is used to obtain the distance information of the obstacle and send the distance information to the controller. The first obstacle recognition module 21 is used to detect the first measurement value of the obstacle and send it to the controller, and the second obstacle recognition module 22 is used to detect the second measurement value of the obstacle and send it to the controller. When the hook is lowered to lift the goods, the controller compares the first measurement value with the first safety distance. If the first measurement value is greater than the first safety distance, the hook continues to descend; if the first measurement value is less than the first safety distance, the hook stops descending and triggers other operation instructions, such as prompting manual operation. When the hook is lowering the goods, the controller compares the second measurement value with the second safety distance. If the second measurement value is greater than the second safety distance, the hook continues to descend; if the second measurement value is less than the second safety distance, the hook stops descending and triggers other operation instructions. The distance to the obstacle is sensed by two sensors located at the upper and lower ends of the hook, which has high accuracy and better safety. At the same time, the controller calculates the diameter of the steel coil according to the first measurement value and the second measurement value and sends it to the controller.

[0084] The hole sensing module 3 includes a first hole sensing device 31 and a second hole sensing device 32 respectively located at the upper ends of the two horizontal plates 152; the hole sensing module 3 is used to sense the inner hole position information of the steel coil and send the inner hole position information to the controller. If the hole sensing module 3 detects that the inner hole of the steel coil is aligned, the hook stops moving.

[0085] The hook return sensing module 4 is located at the upper end of the opening and closing mechanism 11, and includes a first position sensor (not shown in the figure), a second position sensor (not shown in the figure) and an origin sensor (not shown in the figure). The hook return sensing module 4 is used to determine the direction information of the hook 1 deviating from the origin, and send the direction information to the controller. During the operation, the controller records the order in which the hook 1 passes through the first position sensor and the second position sensor, thereby determining the rotation direction of the hook 1. After the operation is completed, after the controller receives the hook 1 return instruction, it detects whether the hook 1 is at the origin. If the hook 1 is at the origin position, the driving mechanism 12 does not perform the action; if it is detected that the hook is not at the origin position, it is determined whether the hook returns to the origin position in a forward rotation or a reverse rotation according to the rotation direction of the hook during the operation, and the hook is driven to return to the origin position.

[0086] The controller is used to control the opening and closing mechanism 11 and the driving mechanism 12 according to the distance information, the inner hole position information, and the direction information.

[0087] During the process of lifting cargo with a hook, obstacle distance sensing and hole sensing can be used to quickly collect cargo information and accurately align holes, reducing manual labor intensity and improving work efficiency. The hook return sensing module records the direction of movement of the hook and controls the hook to return to its initial position. It does not require manual proofreading and automatically returns to its original position.

[0088] Furthermore, the hook device also includes: a steel coil clamping module 5, a load-bearing sensing module 6, a weighing module 7 and a QR code camera module 8, and the steel coil clamping module 5, the load-bearing sensing module 6, the weighing module 7 and the QR code camera module 8 are all connected to the controller.

[0089] The coil clamping module 5 is located on the inner side of the two vertical plates 151, and is used to determine whether the hook 1 contacts the coil and send the contact information to the controller. During the hook closing process, the hook continues to close after the hole sensing module detects that the inner hole of the coil is aligned, and the hook stops closing after the clamping sensing module on the hook senses that the hook clamps the coil, so as to avoid damage to the hook or clamping of the coil caused by misoperation.

[0090] The load-bearing sensing module 6 is located at the upper ends of the two horizontal plates 152 and is used to detect the load-bearing state information of the hook 1 and send the load-bearing state information to the controller. When the hook lifts the steel coil and presses down the weighing detection probe of the weighing sensing module, it enters the detection range of the load-bearing sensing module 6, and the hook enters the load-bearing state. The controller prohibits the hook from opening and closing to prevent the worker from opening the hook by mistake.

[0091] The weighing module 7 is located between the hook 14 and the driving mechanism 12. When the hook 1 is lifting the goods, the weighing module 7 obtains the weight information of the steel coil and sends the weight information to the controller.

Further, the flange 71 also includes a lower cover 716, and the connecting rod 713 passes through the lower cover 716, and the lower cover 716 is fixed to the other end of the hanging sleeve 7141, so as to further fix the hanging sleeve 7141.

[0094] Furthermore, the weighing device further comprises a connecting ring 717, which is movably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 713, so as to reduce the force exerted by external factors on the gravity sensor 72 and ensure the accuracy of the gravity sensor 72.
