Description

[0002] Safety is of utmost importance during the operation of mobile cranes. Its carrying capacity, namely the stability of the load, refers to the limit load of the mobile crane without instability during the lifting process, which determines whether it can safely complete the lifting task. As an important safety performance indicator, the stability of the load of new products needs to be accurately tested for dangerous working conditions to obtain accurate stability data of the product, and the safety of personnel and equipment must be ensured during the test. At present, the stability test of mobile cranes is carried out in the form of lifting weights. During the test, the customized weights stacked to a certain weight are directly lifted. Due to the shape of the weights, the test results are not accurate enough and the limit stability cannot be accurately grasped. The matching weights have problems such as long test time, low efficiency and high test cost. At the same time, if the overload is directly lifted, the moment the weight leaves the ground, the crane is subjected to sudden force changes, and the moment of force changes, which is easy to become unstable and tip over, and the safety risk is high. In this case, in order to meet market demand and relevant national laws and regulations and standards, it is necessary to design and develop a device for the load stability test that can meet continuous loading, accurate loading, safe test process and high test efficiency to replace the traditional detection method.

[0003] The test equipment uses a combination of laser and vision to detect the position change of the mobile crane boom head, controls the oil cylinder to achieve precise loading, controls the steering of the Mecanum wheel to make the test equipment move universally on the ground, ensures the verticality of the load, and can better simulate the original test method process.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the present invention's hoisting stability test process demonstration. The oil cylinder connection plate 14 on the mobile inspection vehicle 4 is connected to the hook 5 of the mobile crane through the wire rope 3. The mobile crane boom 1 hoists and pulls the oil cylinder 406 to simulate the process of lifting the weight in the original test. During the hoisting process, after the mobile crane boom 1 is deformed by force, the position of the arm head changes. The positioner 2 detects and obtains the relative position change of the arm head relative to the mobile inspection vehicle 4. The direction of the hoisting force changes, which is inconsistent with the direction of gravity. The relative position change information is sent to the mobile inspection vehicle 4. The mobile inspection vehicle 4 automatically moves with the displacement of the arm head, corrects the direction of the hoisting force, and keeps it consistent with the direction of gravity. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the connection between the clamp 6 and the boom head of the mobile crane boom 1. In the clamp 6, the fixing knob 604 is rotated to make the fixing screw 603 move axially in the clamp body 601, and cooperate with the first fixer 602 to squeeze the two sides of the boom head to generate friction, so that the clamp 6 is fixed on the boom head. Figure 3The schematic diagram of the connection between the positioner 2 and the clamp 6 of the present invention is shown in FIG. The servo 204 on the positioner 2 is fixedly connected to the clamp body 601 of the clamp 6 by a nut 7, so that the positioner 2 is fixed to the arm head of the mobile crane boom 1 by the clamp 6. The gyroscope 206 on the positioner 2 is used to measure the position of the positioner bracket 201. The output shaft of the servo 204 drives the second connecting shaft 203 to rotate under the control of the signal measured by the gyroscope 206, and then drives the positioner 201 to rotate, adjusts the position of the positioner bracket 201, and keeps the positioner bracket 201 horizontal. The positioner 2 is used to obtain the relative position of the mobile detection vehicle 4 and the arm head. The laser transmitter 202 of the positioner 2 performs laser positioning by irradiating the laser reflector 405 of the mobile detection vehicle 4, and the positioning camera 205 performs visual positioning on the visual positioning beacon 401 of the mobile detection vehicle 4. Fig.11 The control principle diagram of the detection equipment is shown in the figure. With visual positioning as the guide, the relative position of the boom head of the mobile crane boom 1 and the mobile detection vehicle 4 is detected, and then the error of visual positioning is corrected by laser positioning to achieve precise positioning. During the test, the two detection methods are cyclically performed until the test is completed. Visual positioning is to obtain the position information of the detection feature by identifying the visual recognition beacon 401 of the mobile detection vehicle 4. Four laser ranging sensors 8 are arrayed in the laser fixing seat 9. The four laser ranging sensors 8 simultaneously illuminate the laser reflector 405. The two opposite laser ranging sensors 8 form a group to measure the distance between the laser reflector 405 and compare whether the measured values ​​are equal. The control program is used to determine the moving direction of the mobile detection vehicle 4, measure the two groups of distances for comparison, and correct the directional deviation of the hoisting force in the direction of gravity to make the hoisting force vertical. The driving motor 409 on the mobile inspection vehicle 4 drives the four Mecanum wheels 402, and can move in any direction on the ground. According to the relative position information detected by the positioner 2, the mobile inspection vehicle 4 performs follow-up motion control on the arm head of the mobile crane boom 1 to reduce the relative position distance between the arm head and the mobile inspection vehicle 4 on the horizontal plane. The mobile crane boom 1 carries the oil cylinder 406 on the mobile inspection vehicle 4 to simulate the weight of the hoisting. According to the weight to be hoisted, the working pressure of the oil cylinder is set. When hoisting, the tension sensor 502 sends back the current tension value in real time and displays it on the host computer. When the tension of the boom reaches the set value, the oil cylinder keeps the internal pressure stable, thereby ensuring that the hoisting force on the mobile crane boom 1 remains unchanged. At the same time, the oil cylinder piston rod 13 moves in the oil cylinder body 12 to simulate the process of the weight being lifted off the ground.
