Currently, engineering equipment equipped with quick-change devices already possesses multiple operational functions. However, the method of manually switching attachments to change the operational functions of equipment generally has the following problems:

[0003] (1) In high-risk environments, remote operation of rescue equipment is often used to complete emergency work. When switching attachments remotely, the image viewed by the operator on the display screen is different from the real environment. The attachment switching time is long and the work efficiency is reduced.

[0004] (2) In non-high-risk environments, on-site operation of rescue equipment is often used to complete the rescue work. The switching of attachments is a delicate operation. Repeated operations can easily cause driver fatigue and increase the risk of work.

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the problems existing in the current method of manually switching attachments to change the operation function of equipment, it is necessary to develop a control system and method with automatic attachment switching, which is of great significance for improving the safety and efficiency of operators.

Only sensors and cameras need to be added to the original equipment, requiring minimal modification to the original emergency rescue engineering equipment control system, which is conducive to mass production and modification.

[0039] Rescue operations in high-risk environments require remote control. Due to factors such as differences in perspective in remote images, the switching time for attachments under remote control is long and the switching efficiency is low. This control system and method automatically calculates the position and posture of the working attachment relative to the whole machine and establishes a motion trajectory model by receiving visual information collected by the visual feedback unit and motion state information collected by the motion feedback unit through the control unit.

Attachment control is a delicate operation, and repeated operation can easily cause operator fatigue and reduce work safety. However, this control system and method can achieve unmanned operation, avoid the operator fatigue caused by multiple attachment switching operations, and improve work safety.
