Therefore, a water-assisted multi-raft common track sliding technology was developed. However, during the multi-raft common track sliding process, the sliding tools and tourists are prone to front-to-back collisions in the same slide, so a control solution is needed to solve the above problem.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the topological structure of a water-assisted multi-raft common rail sliding control system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0022] The water-assisted multi-raft common rail sliding control system 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a closed-loop slide 200 and a controller 100; the closed-loop slide 200 includes a return area conveyor 210, a departure area conveyor 220 connected to the tail of the return area conveyor 210; a first stroke slide, a second stroke slide, a third stroke slide and a fourth stroke slide connected between the tail of the departure area conveyor 220 and the head of the return area conveyor 210; the first stroke slide, the second stroke slide, the third stroke slide and the fourth stroke slide The four-stroke slides are connected in sequence; the head of the first-stroke slide, the head of the second-stroke slide, the head of the third-stroke slide and the head of the fourth-stroke slide are all provided with a water pump 240; the tail of the first-stroke slide, the tail of the second-stroke slide, the tail of the third-stroke slide, the tail of the fourth-stroke slide and the head of the return area conveyor 210 are all provided with a first position detection device 230; the return area conveyor 210, the departure area conveyor 220, the water pump 240 and the position detection device are all connected to the controller 100.

[0023] Specifically, the first position detection device 230 includes: a first photoelectric switch 231 provided at the tail of the first stroke slideway; a second photoelectric switch 232 provided at the tail of the second stroke slideway; a third photoelectric switch 233 provided at the tail of the third stroke slideway; a fourth photoelectric switch 234 provided at the tail of the fourth stroke slideway; and a fifth photoelectric switch 235 provided at the head of the return zone conveyor 210. The water pump 240 includes a first water pump 241 provided at the head of the first stroke slideway; a second water pump 242 provided at the head of the second stroke slideway; a third water pump 243 provided at the head of the third stroke slideway; and a fourth water pump 244 provided at the head of the fourth stroke slideway.

[0024] After receiving the system start-up command, the controller 100 starts the first water pump 241 of the first stroke slide at a power frequency according to the start-up control command, and waits to start the second water pump 242 of the second stroke slide, the third water pump 243 of the third stroke slide, and the fourth water pump 244 of the fourth stroke slide. After each water pump is started, it sends a water pump start-up completion message to the controller 100. After receiving the water pump start-up completion message, the controller 100 starts the departure area conveyor 220 according to the water pump start-up completion message to send the first raft into the first stroke slide. When the first raft reaches the first photoelectric switch 231 of the first stroke slide (i.e., the first preset position), the controller 100 starts the second water pump 242 at a power frequency. When the first raft reaches the second photoelectric switch 232 (i.e., the second preset position) within the specified time period, the controller 100 starts the third water pump 243 of the third stroke slide at a power frequency; otherwise, the alarm device 300 is activated to give an alarm prompt. When the first raft reaches the third photoelectric switch 233 (i.e., the third preset position) within the specified time period, the controller 100 starts the fourth water pump 244 of the fourth stroke slide at the power frequency, switches the second water pump 242 to the standby operation state, and sends a prompt message at the same time to remind the staff to put in the second raft; if the first raft does not reach the third photoelectric switch 233 (i.e., the second preset position) within the specified time period, the controller 100 starts the alarm device 300 for an alarm prompt. When the first raft reaches the fourth photoelectric switch 234 (i.e., the fourth preset position) within the specified time period, the controller 100 switches the third water pump 243 to the standby operation state; if the first raft does not reach the fourth photoelectric switch 234 within the specified time period, the controller 100 starts the alarm device 300 for an alarm prompt. When the first raft reaches the fifth photoelectric switch 235 (i.e., the fifth preset position) within the specified time period, the fourth water pump 244 switches to the standby operation state and starts the return area conveyor 210 at the same time; then it analyzes whether there is a third raft on the departure area conveyor 220. If there is no third raft on the departure area conveyor 220, the first raft is transported to the departure area conveyor 220; otherwise, the first raft is stopped on the return area conveyor 210.

[0025] In the above implementation process, the prescribed time period for the first raft in each stroke slide to reach the preset position can be set to 30s-60s, and the specific time can be set according to the length of each slide.

[0026] In one embodiment, the first stroke slide, the second stroke slide, the third stroke slide and the fourth stroke slide all include a climbing section, a descending section and a descending buffer section, and the first position detection device 230 is arranged at the tail of the descending buffer section of each stroke slide, and multiple second position detection devices (the second position detection device can be a photoelectric switch) can also be arranged in the climbing section of each stroke slide to detect the sliding state of the raft in each climbing section. In order to detect the abnormal sliding state of the raft in time, the distance between two adjacent second position detection devices can be set to 3-4m. When the sliding state of the raft is abnormal, the controller 100 starts the alarm device 300 for alarm prompting. For example, when the raft passes through a second position detection device and still does not pass through the next second position detection device within a set time period, the controller 100 starts the alarm device 300 for alarm prompting; or, when the raft passes through a second position detection device and slides to the second position detection device again, the controller 100 starts the alarm device 300 for alarm prompting. A third position detection device (a photoelectric switch may be selected as the third position detection device) may also be provided at the top of the climbing section of each stroke slide. After the raft passes through the third position detection device, the controller 100 records whether the raft reaches the first position detection device 230 within a specified time period. If the raft does not reach the first position detection device 230 within the specified time period after passing through the third position detection device, the controller 100 activates the alarm device 300 to issue an alarm prompt.

[0027] By means of the above method, the abnormal sliding of the raft in each stroke slideway can be discovered in time, so as to avoid the front raft sliding abnormally and continue to push the rear raft, causing the front and rear rafts to collide.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a water-assisted multi-raft common rail sliding control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0029] The specific contents of the water-assisted multi-raft common rail sliding control method provided in the embodiment of the present application are described as follows.

[0030] Step S101, obtaining a system startup control instruction.

[0031] Step S102, starting the water pump of the first stroke slideway at industrial frequency according to the starting control instruction, and starting the water pumps of the second stroke slideway, the third stroke slideway and the fourth stroke slideway in standby mode.

[0032] Step S103, receiving the water pump start completion information, and starting the departure area conveyor according to the water pump start completion instruction to send the first raft into the first stroke slide.

[0033] Step S104, detecting whether the first raft reaches a first preset position of the first stroke slideway, and if the first raft reaches the first preset position, starting a water pump of the second stroke slideway at an industrial frequency.

[0034] Step S105, detecting whether the first raft reaches the second preset position of the second stroke slideway, and if the first raft reaches the second preset position, starting the water pump of the third stroke slideway at an industrial frequency.

[0035] Step S106, detecting whether the first raft reaches the third preset position of the third stroke slide, if the first raft reaches the third preset position, starting the water pump of the fourth stroke slide at industrial frequency, the water pump of the second stroke slide is on standby, and sending a prompt message for placing the second raft.

[0036] Step S107, detecting whether the first raft reaches the fourth preset position of the fourth stroke slide; if the first raft reaches the fourth preset position, starting the return zone conveyor and the water pump of the third stroke slide is in standby operation.

[0037] Step S108, detecting whether the first raft reaches the fifth preset position of the return zone conveyor; if the first raft reaches the fifth preset position, the water pump of the fourth stroke slideway is in standby operation.

[0038] In the above implementation process, if the first raft does not reach the head of the return zone conveyor (ie, the fifth preset position), the water pump of the third stroke slideway continues to run in standby mode, and the second raft at the rear stops sliding to avoid continued sliding and collision with the first raft.

[0039] Step S109, analyzing whether there is a third raft on the departure area conveyor, if there is no third raft on the departure area conveyor, the return area conveyor conveys the first raft to the departure area conveyor, otherwise the first raft stops on the return area conveyor.

[0040] Through the above method, while avoiding the collision between the front and rear rafts, the water pump of each stroke slide can be controlled more accurately to reduce the power consumption of the water pump.

[0041] In one embodiment, the controller 100 can also analyze whether there is an abnormally sliding raft through the detection information of multiple second position detection devices arranged on the climbing sections of the first stroke slide, the second stroke slide, the third stroke slide and the fourth stroke slide. If there is an abnormally sliding raft in the climbing section of a stroke slide, the controller 100 activates the alarm device 300 to issue an alarm prompt.

[0042] In one embodiment, in order to prevent the raft from failing to slide to the tail of the current stroke slide after passing through the climbing section, the controller 100 can also analyze whether the raft reaches the tail of the stroke slide within a preset time period. If the raft fails to reach the tail of each stroke slide within the preset time period after passing through the climbing section, the controller 100 activates the alarm device 300 to issue an alarm prompt to avoid further placing the raft.

[0043] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a water-assisted multi-skin raft common rail sliding control system and method, including a closed-loop slide and a controller; the closed-loop slide includes a return area conveyor, a departure area conveyor connected to the tail of the return area conveyor; a first-stroke slide, a second-stroke slide, a third-stroke slide and a fourth-stroke slide connected between the tail of the departure area conveyor and the head of the return area conveyor; the first-stroke slide, the second-stroke slide, the third-stroke slide and the fourth-stroke slide are connected in sequence; the head of the first-stroke slide, the head of the second-stroke slide, the head of the third-stroke slide Water pumps are provided at the head of the first-stroke slide and the head of the fourth-stroke slide; position detection devices are provided at the tail of the first-stroke slide, the tail of the second-stroke slide, the tail of the third-stroke slide, the tail of the fourth-stroke slide and the head of the return area conveyor; the return area conveyor, the departure area conveyor, the water pump and the position detection device are all connected to the controller; the position of the raft is detected in real time by the set position detection device, and the controller controls the operating state of the water pump at the head of each stroke slide according to the detection result, which can reduce the power consumption of the water pump while avoiding collision between the front and rear rafts.
