Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent tower crane technology, and in particular to an embedded integrated control method and system for the hoisting mechanism of a tower crane. Background Technology
[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, current tower cranes use a PLC-controlled frequency converter on the control console to further control the speed of the hoisting motor M, thereby controlling the lifting mechanism's hook as it rises or falls. However, this approach has the following problems: 1. Hook speed control often relies on the operator's experience or visual observation, which can lead to overshooting accidents when the lifting is nearing completion. 2. Load height control also relies on visual observation, resulting in coarse control and an inability to precisely control the load's lifting height. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to propose an embedded integrated tower crane hoisting mechanism control method and system, which can specifically solve the existing tower crane hoisting mechanism control problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes an embedded integrated control method for the hoisting mechanism of a tower crane, comprising:
[0005] A speed sensor is installed at the hook of the hoisting mechanism. The speed sensor can measure the running speed and direction of the hook in real time and send the data to the CNC system of the operation console.
[0006] A laser rangefinder is installed on the luffing trolley. The laser rangefinder can measure the distance between the load of the hoisting mechanism and the luffing trolley in real time and send it to the CNC system on the operation console. The system then calculates the height information of the load by combining the initial height information of the luffing trolley with the initial height information of the luffing trolley.
[0007] After the hoisting mechanism is started, the CNC system controls the frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism according to the data of the speed sensor, so as to control the speed increase or deceleration of the hoisting motor through the frequency converter, and control the running speed of the hook within a preset range from the start of the hoisting mechanism until the height of the load reaches the first height.
[0008] When the load reaches the first height, the CNC system controls the hoisting motor to gradually and linearly decelerate to the fine-tuning speed through the frequency converter. When the fine-tuning speed is reached, the height of the load is recorded as the second height.
[0009] When the load is moved to a height close to the preset target height at the fine-tuning speed, the CNC system controls the hoisting motor to gradually decelerate from the fine-tuning speed to zero via the frequency converter, so that the load stops running when it reaches the preset target height.
[0010] Furthermore, the CNC system is connected to an operation console, a speed sensor, a laser rangefinder, and a frequency converter. The frequency converter is connected to a lifting motor, and the lifting motor is connected to a brake and a hook.
[0011] Furthermore, the laser rangefinder sensor can measure the distance between the load of the hoisting mechanism and the luffing trolley in real time, and send it to the CNC system on the operation console. Combined with the initial height information of the luffing trolley, the system calculates the height information of the load, including:
[0012] The laser rangefinder is pointed vertically downwards to align with the load of the lifting mechanism;
[0013] The laser rangefinder sensor measures the height of the luffing trolley above the ground before the load is installed by measuring the time between emitting and receiving the returned laser light, and uses this as the initial height information of the luffing trolley.
[0014] The laser rangefinder sensor calculates the distance between the load of the hoisting mechanism and the luffing trolley in real time after the load is installed by measuring the time it emits and receives the returned laser light, and sends the result to the CNC system on the control console.
[0015] The height information of the load is obtained by subtracting the distance between the load and the luffing trolley from the initial height information of the luffing trolley.
[0016] Furthermore, after the hoisting mechanism is started, the CNC system controls the frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism based on the data from the speed sensor, so as to control the speed increase or decrease of the hoisting motor through the frequency converter, and control the running speed of the hook within a preset range from the start of the hoisting mechanism until the height of the load reaches the first height, including:
[0017] After the lifting mechanism is started, the CNC system acquires the data from the speed sensor in real time;
[0018] When the value of the speed sensor exceeds the first preset threshold, it is determined that the hook speed is too fast. The frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism is controlled by the CNC system to reduce the frequency, so as to control the hoisting motor to decelerate through the frequency converter.
[0019] When the value of the speed sensor is lower than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the hook speed is too slow. The frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism is controlled to increase the frequency through the CNC system, so as to control the speed of the hoisting motor through the frequency converter.
[0020] After the hoisting mechanism is started and before the load reaches the first height, the operating speed of the hook is controlled between the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold.
[0021] Furthermore, when the load reaches a first height, the CNC system controls the lifting motor to gradually and linearly decelerate to a fine-tuning speed via a frequency converter. Upon reaching the fine-tuning speed, the load height is recorded as a second height, including:
[0022] The CNC system includes a display screen, and the height information of the load is displayed in real time through the display screen of the CNC system.
[0023] When the height of the load reaches the first height, the CNC system controls the frequency converter to linearly reduce the frequency to the fine-tuning frequency;
[0024] The frequency converter controls the hoisting motor to gradually and linearly decelerate to a fine-tuning speed;
[0025] Record the height of the load when the lifting motor just reaches the fine-tuning speed, as the second height.
[0026] Furthermore, when the load is moved to a height close to the preset target height at the fine-tuning speed, the CNC system controls the hoisting motor to gradually decelerate from the fine-tuning speed to zero via a frequency converter, so that the operation stops when the load reaches the preset target height, including:
[0027] After the load reaches the second height, it runs at a constant speed for a period of time at the fine-tuning speed.
[0028] When the load is moved at the fine-tuning speed to a height S that is a preset distance from the preset target height, the CNC system controls the frequency converter to linearly reduce the frequency to zero.
[0029] The frequency converter controls the hoisting motor to linearly decelerate to zero from the fine-tuning speed V within a time period T, so that it stops operating when the height of the load reaches the preset target height. The following relationship is satisfied between S, T, and V:
[0030] S = (V / 2) × T.
[0031] Further includes:
[0032] The numerical control system can be a FANUC numerical control system.
[0033] To achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes an embedded integrated control system for the hoisting mechanism of a tower crane, comprising:
[0034] The hook speed measurement module is used to install a speed sensor at the hook of the hoisting mechanism. The speed sensor can measure the running speed and direction of the hook in real time and send the data to the CNC system of the operation console.
[0035] The load height calculation module is used to install a laser rangefinder on the luffing trolley. The laser rangefinder can measure the distance between the load of the hoisting mechanism and the luffing trolley in real time and send it to the CNC system of the operation console. Combined with the initial height information of the luffing trolley, the load height information is calculated.
[0036] The hook speed control module is used to control the frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism according to the data of the speed sensor after the hoisting mechanism is started. The frequency converter controls the speed increase or deceleration of the hoisting motor. The hook running speed is controlled within a preset range from the time the hoisting mechanism is started until the load reaches the first height.
[0037] The fine-tuning control module is used to control the lifting motor to gradually and linearly decelerate to the fine-tuning speed through the frequency converter after the height of the load reaches the first height. When the fine-tuning speed is reached, the height of the load is recorded as the second height.
[0038] The stop control module is used to control the lifting motor to gradually decelerate from the fine-tuning speed to zero through the frequency converter when the load is running at the fine-tuning speed to a height close to the preset target height, so that the load stops running when the height reaches the preset target height.
[0039] In summary, the advantages of this application and the user experience it brings are as follows:
[0040] 1. Hook speed control does not rely on operator experience or visual observation. It allows for precise, numerically visible control of the hook's upward speed during lifting, preventing load overshoot accidents. 2. Precise control and fine-tuning of load speed and height ensure a smooth, seamless lifting process, guaranteeing the safety of the lifting operation. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the system architecture of this application. In embodiments of this application, the device includes: an operation console, a numerical control system, a speed sensor, a laser rangefinder, a frequency converter, a hoisting motor, a brake, and a hook; the numerical control system is connected to the operation console, the speed sensor, the laser rangefinder, and the frequency converter; the frequency converter is connected to the hoisting motor; and the hoisting motor is connected to the brake and the hook.
[0051] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating an embedded integrated tower crane hoisting mechanism control method according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the embedded integrated tower crane hoisting mechanism control method includes:
[0052] Step 101: Install a speed sensor at the hook of the hoisting mechanism. The speed sensor can measure the running speed and direction of the hook in real time and send the data to the CNC system of the operation console. The CNC system can be a FANUC CNC system.
[0053] In the embodiments of this application, specifically, the speed sensor can be a ZLS-C50 speed sensor.
[0054] Step 102: Install a laser rangefinder sensor on the luffing trolley. This laser rangefinder sensor can measure the distance between the load of the hoisting mechanism and the luffing trolley in real time, and send the data to the CNC system on the control console. The system then calculates the height information of the load based on the initial height information of the luffing trolley, including:
[0055] The laser rangefinder is pointed vertically downwards to align with the load of the lifting mechanism;
[0056] The laser rangefinder sensor measures the height of the luffing trolley above the ground before the load is installed by measuring the time between emitting and receiving the returned laser light, and uses this as the initial height information of the luffing trolley.
[0057] The laser rangefinder sensor calculates the distance between the load of the hoisting mechanism and the luffing trolley in real time after the load is installed by measuring the time it emits and receives the returned laser light, and sends the result to the CNC system on the control console.
[0058] The height information of the load is obtained by subtracting the distance between the load and the luffing trolley from the initial height information of the luffing trolley.
[0059] In an embodiment of this application, for example, before installing the load, the laser rangefinder emits a laser beam towards the ground and calculates the initial height of the luffing trolley based on the time it takes to receive the echo, for example, 30 meters. During the installation and raising of the load, the laser rangefinder aims at the load, emits a laser beam, and receives the echo, similarly calculating the distance between the load and the luffing trolley, for example, 20 meters. Subtracting the two values gives the current height of the load, 30 - 20 = 10 meters.
[0060] Step 103: After the hoisting mechanism is started, the CNC system controls the frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism based on the data from the speed sensor, so as to control the speed increase or decrease of the hoisting motor through the frequency converter. From the start of the hoisting mechanism until the load reaches the first height, the operating speed of the hook is controlled within a preset range, including:
[0061] After the lifting mechanism is started, the CNC system acquires the data from the speed sensor in real time;
[0062] When the value of the speed sensor exceeds the first preset threshold, it is determined that the hook speed is too fast. The frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism is controlled by the CNC system to reduce the frequency, so as to control the hoisting motor to decelerate through the frequency converter.
[0063] When the value of the speed sensor is lower than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the hook speed is too slow. The frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism is controlled to increase the frequency through the CNC system, so as to control the speed of the hoisting motor through the frequency converter.
[0064] After the hoisting mechanism is started and before the load reaches the first height, the operating speed of the hook is controlled between the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold.
[0065] This step constitutes the first control stage of this application, namely the early hoisting speed control stage. Tower crane operators can switch between manual and automatic control modes, allowing the hoisting mechanism to switch control freely as needed. Data from speed sensors and laser rangefinders provides real-time information on the current hoisting speed and height of the load. When the hoisting speed is too fast, for example, greater than 1 m / s, an alarm is triggered in the CNC system, and the frequency converter is manually or automatically reduced to decrease the hoisting speed. Conversely, when the hoisting speed is too slow, for example, less than 0.2 m / s, an alarm is also triggered in the CNC system, and the frequency converter is manually or automatically increased to increase the hoisting speed. This prevents the hook from hoisting too fast and causing an overshoot accident. It also provides alerts when the hoisting speed is too slow, improving work efficiency and reducing hoisting time.
[0066] Step 104: When the load reaches the first height, the CNC system controls the lifting motor to gradually and linearly decelerate to a fine-tuning speed via a frequency converter. Upon reaching the fine-tuning speed, the load height is recorded as the second height, including:
[0067] The CNC system includes a display screen, and the height information of the load is displayed in real time through the display screen of the CNC system.
[0068] When the height of the load reaches the first height, the CNC system controls the frequency converter to linearly reduce the frequency to the fine-tuning frequency;
[0069] The frequency converter controls the hoisting motor to gradually and linearly decelerate to a fine-tuning speed;
[0070] Record the height of the load when the lifting motor just reaches the fine-tuning speed, as the second height.
[0071] Step 104 represents the second control stage of this application, namely the fine-tuning control stage. When the load height reaches a certain level, such as 20 meters, since the target lifting height is 25 meters and most of the lifting task has been completed, it is considered to reduce the lifting speed in advance to prevent an overshoot accident. To this end, this application designs a linear deceleration scheme to reduce the lifting speed. For example, the lifting speed of the hook of the lifting mechanism is linearly reduced from 1 m / s to 0.5 m / s, and the load height at this time is recorded simultaneously, for example, 23 meters.
[0072] Step 105: When the load is moved to a height close to the preset target height at the fine-tuning speed, the CNC system controls the lifting motor to gradually decelerate from the fine-tuning speed to zero via the frequency converter, so that the operation stops when the load reaches the preset target height, including:
[0073] After the load reaches the second height, it runs at a constant speed for a period of time at the fine-tuning speed.
[0074] When the load is moved at the fine-tuning speed to a height S that is a preset distance from the preset target height, the CNC system controls the frequency converter to linearly reduce the frequency to zero.
[0075] The frequency converter controls the hoisting motor to linearly decelerate to zero from the fine-tuning speed V within a time period T, so that it stops operating when the height of the load reaches the preset target height. The following relationship is satisfied between S, T, and V:
[0076] S = (V / 2) × T.
[0077] In step 105, the final lifting stage of this application, namely the final control stage, requires precise control of the final lifting height, lifting speed, and deceleration during this stage to achieve accurate control of the final lifting height. For example, continuing the design above, in the final 2-meter lifting stage from 23 meters to 25 meters, if the lifting speed is linearly reduced from 0.5 m / s to 0 within 8 seconds, then according to the basic physical law S = (V / 2) × T, the lifting height can be precisely controlled at 25 meters without relying solely on human judgment or experience. This meets the needs of crane applications requiring precise control of lifting height.
[0078] This application eliminates the need for operator experience or visual observation to control hook speed. It enables precise, numerically visible control of the hook's upward speed during lifting, preventing load overshoot accidents. Precise control and fine-tuning of load speed and height ensure a smooth, seamless lifting process, thereby guaranteeing the safety of the lifting operation.
[0079] The application embodiment provides an embedded integrated tower crane hoisting mechanism control system, which is used to execute the embedded integrated tower crane hoisting mechanism control method described in the above embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the system includes:

The laser range sensor can measure the distance between the load of the hoisting mechanism and the luffing trolley in real time and send it to the CNC system of the operation console. Combined with the initial height information of the luffing trolley, the load height information is calculated.
[0082] The hook speed control module 503 is used to control the frequency converter of the hoisting mechanism according to the data of the speed sensor after the hoisting mechanism is started, so as to control the speed increase or deceleration of the hoisting motor through the frequency converter, and control the running speed of the hook within a preset range from the start of the hoisting mechanism until the height of the load reaches the first height.
[0083] The fine-tuning control module 504 is used to control the lifting motor to gradually and linearly decelerate to the fine-tuning speed through the frequency converter after the height of the load reaches the first height, and record the height of the load as the second height when the fine-tuning speed is reached.
[0084] The stop control module 505 is used to control the lifting motor to gradually decelerate from the fine-tuning speed to zero through the frequency converter when the load is running at the fine-tuning speed to a height close to the preset target height, so that the load stops running when the height reaches the preset target height.
