Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intermodal transport of containerized molten iron, and particularly to an intermodal transport system and method for direct loading and unloading of ships and vehicles in continuous operation. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are mainly three modes of intermodal transport of containerized molten iron as follows.

[0003] Mode 1. Operating process: Ship ←→ Quayside Container Crane (QC) ←→ Internal Container Truck ←→ Rear Yard and Yard Gantry Crane ←→ External Container Truck ←→ Railway Container Yard ←→ Gantry Crane on Railway Loading and Unloading Line ←→ Railway Vehicle. In Mode 1, the railway loading and unloading yard and the port terminal are independently set up. In this mode, the container exchange and transportation between the railway loading and unloading and the terminal yard use external container trucks, and the handover of intermodal transport containers is realized through the external road connecting the railway loading and unloading yard and the terminal yard.

[0004] Mode 2. Operating process: Ship ←→ Quayside Container Crane (QC) ←→ Internal Container Truck ←→ Rear Yard and Yard Gantry Crane ←→ Gantry Crane on Railway Loading and Unloading Line ←→ Railway Vehicle. In Mode 2, the railway loading and unloading line is located in the rear yard of the port. In this mode, there is a certain distance between the railway container loading and unloading line and the quay crane of the terminal, and a certain number of internal container trucks need to be equipped for short-distance transportation through the internal road for container transshipment.

[0005] Mode 3. Operating process: Ship ←→ Quayside Container Crane ←→ Vehicle on the Railway Loading and Unloading Line at the Terminal Front. In Mode 3, the railway loading and unloading line extends to the terminal front. The transshipment operation between waterway transportation and railway transportation does not pass through the yard operation, and the container can be directly loaded and unloaded between the ship and the vehicle through the quay crane. Thus, the container can be directly transshipped without being stacked in the yard, reducing the container truck transportation link, the yard stacking operation link, and the number of handling machines, and can reduce the yard occupation area.

[0006] Analysis of the limitations of the existing technologies in the existing modes:

[0007] Mode 1:

[0008] 1) The distance between the railway container loading and unloading yard and the terminal yard is relatively far, and the container handover between the two yards needs to be completed by external container trucks, resulting in high transportation and time costs.

[0009] 2) The handling equipment and yard are independently set up. From the perspective of the overall layout of intermodal transport of containerized molten iron, it causes duplicate investment in equipment and yard, and the project investment cost is relatively high.

[0010] 3) The transportation link of intermodal transport of containerized molten iron is complex and the efficiency is low.

[0011] 4) Railway loading and unloading yards and port yards require relatively high rear depth conditions. The connecting road between the railway loading and unloading yard and the port should not be too long. Moreover, the height difference between the two yards is restricted by the length of the connecting road. The greater the height difference, the longer the connecting road alignment will be, and the higher the external transportation cost and time cost of containers.

[0012] Mode 2:

[0013] 1) The internal container truck transportation link and loading and unloading transportation equipment are added, increasing the transportation cost of on-site equipment and yards. This mode is suitable for large-capacity terminals, and the cost can be reduced by spreading the volume.

[0014] 2) Loading and unloading equipment and yards need to be equipped in the railway loading and unloading area, with a large project investment and increased operating costs.

[0015] 3) Railway loading and unloading yards and port yards require relatively high rear depth conditions and are required to be at the same horizontal elevation. This restricts the track elevation of the railway loading and unloading area where the railway enters the port. Especially in ports in areas with large changes in inland water levels, when passing through the dike, there are more restrictions on the elevation.

[0016] Mode 3:

[0017] 1) When the railway vehicles to be loaded and unloaded stay at the quay front loading and unloading line without power and the ship is fixed at the berth during the loading and unloading in the port, the direct container transfer between the ship and the railway vehicle is achieved through the longitudinal movement of the quay crane trolley at the quay front. Only about 10 standard containers can be loaded and unloaded per hour, with low loading and unloading efficiency. At the same time, synchronous operation of multiple quay cranes cannot be achieved.

[0018] 2) When the railway vehicles to be loaded and unloaded have traction power and can cooperate with the quay crane trolley and the quay crane car, the railway loading and unloading vehicle moves longitudinally under the traction of the power equipment to align with the quay crane, realizing the container transfer operation of direct ship-railway pickup. This layout has relatively high efficiency in the direct ship-railway pickup mode. However, due to the longitudinal traction requirement of the vehicle, the quay line length needs to be relatively long, which is twice the length of the vehicle to be loaded, and at the same time, high accuracy requirements are imposed on the alignment of the traction power equipment.

[0019] 3) In this mode, relatively high requirements are imposed on the time matching between railway trains and operating ships. It is necessary to coordinate the arrival and departure times of railway trains, the arrival and departure times of ships at the port, and the consistency and rationality of the loading and unloading operation plans of loading and unloading machinery vehicles through information intercommunication between ships and railway trains, so as to avoid a large amount of mutual waiting idle time for railway trains and ships and reduce the overall loading and unloading efficiency.

[0020] 4) The railway loading and unloading line is introduced to the front of the quay of the shoreline. To reduce the interference with the internal traffic, the track elevation of the railway loading and unloading line is the same as or slightly lower than the road surface elevation of the quay front. This poses higher requirements for the route selection and longitudinal section condition slope of the railway line. When the elevation difference between the railway connection point and the port quay is too large, it is impossible to introduce the railway loading and unloading line under this mode.

[0021] Analysis conclusion:

[0022] Mode 1 and Mode 2 are widely used in the combined transport of railway and waterway, and the related technologies are relatively mature. However, Mode 1 cannot achieve seamless connection of the combined transport of railway and waterway, with low transport efficiency and high operation cost, and is only applicable to the transport of scattered cargo flows; Mode 2 is more suitable for ports with large volumes of combined transport operations of railway and waterway, and the investment cost for ports with small volumes of operations is relatively high; With the development of information technology, the development space and advantages of Mode 3 will gradually emerge.

[0023] Modes 1 and 2 have relatively high requirements for the depth conditions behind the quay, and sufficient construction space is required both in front of and behind the shore dike of the shoreline. This is restricted by factors such as terrain conditions, urban planning, and construction land. Mode 3 adopts the direct ship-to-truck loading and unloading mode, makes full use of the space in front of the quay, saves the yard area, and greatly reduces the land construction space, but there is a certain conflict with the short-distance transfer transportation of internal port vehicles.

[0024] The track elevation of the railway loading and unloading line in Mode 3 is restricted by the construction elevation of the quay. When the elevation difference between the railway connection station and the quay is large, it is necessary to extend the railway line to achieve the effect of reducing the elevation, which greatly increases the construction cost of the railway. This restricts the implementation and promotion of Mode 3 when the elevation difference between the line and the quay cannot be overcome. Summary of the Invention

The first railway gantry crane 700 lifts the container 100 on the AGV trolley 730 through the first gantry spreader 701, moves the container 100 above the railway vehicle 710, and lowers the container 100 onto the railway vehicle 710, thereby completing the direct ship-to-rail continuous loading and unloading operation.

[0056] Preferably, the operating system further includes a temporary stacking system, which includes a container truck 400, a container truck lane, and a second lifting device. One end of the container truck lane is located under the boom of the quay crane 300, and the other end is located under the second lifting device. The container truck 400 runs on the container truck lane. A temporary stacking yard is arranged under the second lifting device. The container truck 400 is used to move under the boom of the quay crane 300 to receive the container 100 lowered by the quay crane spreader 304, and move along the container truck lane to under the second lifting device. The second lifting device is used to lift the container 100 from the container truck 400 and lower the container 100 to the temporary stacking yard.

[0057] Preferably, the second lifting device is a second railway gantry crane 600. A temporary stacking yard is arranged under the crossbeam of the second railway gantry crane 600. A second loading and unloading trolley that moves back and forth along the length direction of the crossbeam is arranged on the crossbeam of the second railway gantry crane 600. A second gantry spreader 601 for lifting or lowering the container 100 is connected to the second loading and unloading trolley. The container truck 400 is used to move under the boom of the quay crane 300 to receive the container 100 lowered by the quay crane spreader 304, and move along the container truck lane to under the crossbeam of the second railway gantry crane 600. The second gantry spreader 601 is used to lift the container 100 from the container truck 400 and lower the container 100 to the temporary stacking yard.

The container truck 400 carrying the container 100 moves along the container truck lane to the lower part of the rear crossbeam 603 of the second railway gantry crane 600. The second gantry spreader 601 of the second railway gantry crane 600 lifts the container 100 from the container truck 400 and moves and lowers the container 100 to the temporary storage yard. A small number of containers 100 to be loaded and unloaded can be stored in the temporary storage yard 800, thus greatly saving the yard area and reducing the port storage and operation costs. When the loading and unloading vehicle is idle, the second gantry spreader 601 of the second railway gantry crane 600 then lifts the container 100 from the temporary storage yard 800, moves to the front crossbeam 602 and lowers the container 100 onto the AGV cart 730 below the front crossbeam 602. The AGV cart 730 conveys the container 100 along the AGV lane to below the first railway gantry crane 700.

Since the loading and unloading operation of the container 100 between the ship and the railway vehicle 710 can be automatically controlled, the loading and unloading efficiency is high, human resources are saved, and the intermodal transfer cost of the container 100 is reduced.
