Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tower crane positioning technology, and more specifically, relates to a vertical positioning system for a tower crane hook. Background Technology

[0002] Tower cranes, also known as "tower hoists," are used to lift construction materials such as steel bars, timber, concrete, and steel pipes. They are essential lifting equipment on construction sites, and oblique pulling or lifting is strictly prohibited during operation. Currently, due to various reasons, such as short contract periods, high pressure to meet deadlines, the need for day and night construction, traffic restrictions making daytime work unsuitable for certain procedures, and the requirement for continuous operation of large-volume concrete pouring, nighttime construction on construction sites is increasing. Since nighttime construction often results in insufficient lighting, the main solution is to install headlights on the standard sections of the tower crane to enhance nighttime illumination and ensure visibility during lifting operations.

[0003] However, installing headlights on standard sections generally results in poor lighting. Moreover, when signalmen look up at the boom and hook, the headlights create blind spots, creating a "darkness under the light" situation. This makes it difficult to observe the hook's offset when preparing to lift, and makes vertical lifting difficult during nighttime operations, increasing the risk of tilting and posing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a vertical positioning system for tower crane hooks, which can solve the problems of difficulty in vertical lifting of tower cranes during nighttime construction, easy occurrence of slanted lifting, and potential safety hazards.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] This invention provides a vertical positioning system for a tower crane hook, comprising a camera module, a displacement measurement module, a lighting module, an alarm module, a positioning module, and a power supply module;

[0007] The shooting module is used to take continuous photos of the hook under the tower crane's moving trolley at equal intervals and transmit them to the positioning module;

[0008] The displacement measurement module is used to detect the displacement of the tower crane moving trolley and hook, and transmit it to the positioning module;

[0009] The lighting module is used to illuminate the environment below the tower crane's mobile trolley;

[0010] The alarm module is used to issue alarms;

[0011] The positioning module is used to receive signals, analyze the offset of the hook, and output control signals;

[0012] The positioning module is electrically connected to the shooting module, the displacement measurement module, the lighting module, and the alarm module, respectively; the power supply module is electrically connected to and supplies power to the shooting module, the displacement measurement module, the positioning module, the lighting module, and the alarm module, respectively.

[0013] This tower crane hook vertical positioning system uses a camera module and a displacement measurement module to detect the displacement of the hook and the tower crane trolley. The positioning module then calculates the data to obtain the relative displacement between the load and the trolley. After assessment, control commands are sent to the alarm module and the tower crane control center to issue warnings. This ensures that the relative displacement between the load and the trolley remains within a controllable range. Furthermore, using both camera and displacement measurement methods to detect the relative displacement avoids measurement errors caused by a single detection method, preventing the timely detection of tilted lifting. It also avoids injuries caused by blind spots or weather-related visual interference during tilted lifting, ensuring that the load is lifted vertically and reducing accidents during hook lifting and the lifting process.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the vertical positioning system for a tower crane hook of the present invention can be further improved as follows:

[0015] The positioning module specifically includes the following modules:

[0016] The image analysis module is used to analyze the image of the hook and determine the first displacement of the hook.

[0017] The calculation module is used to determine the relative displacement between the tower crane's moving trolley and the hook, which is then used as the second displacement.

[0018] The positioning module also includes a control chip, which has a built-in allowable displacement threshold.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a comparison module, which is used to determine whether the first displacement and the second displacement exceed the allowable displacement.

[0020] The comparison module includes a first comparator, a second comparator, and a NAND gate;

[0021] The input terminals of the first comparator are electrically connected to the positioning module and the image analysis module, respectively.

[0022] The input terminals of the second comparator are electrically connected to the positioning module and the calculation module, respectively.

[0023] The outputs of the first comparator and the second comparator are electrically connected to the input of the NAND gate, and the output of the NAND gate is electrically connected to the alarm module.

[0024] Furthermore, the positioning module performs the following steps:

[0025] The first step involves receiving the image of the hook captured by the imaging module and transmitting it to the image analysis module; and receiving the displacement signal measured by the displacement measurement module and transmitting it to the calculation module.

[0026] The second step involves the image analysis module analyzing the hook image and determining the first displacement of the hook; the calculation module then calculates the difference between the tower crane trolley displacement and the hook displacement, which is used as the second displacement.

[0027] Third step: The image analysis module sends the first displacement to the comparison module; the calculation module sends the second displacement to the comparison module.

[0028] After receiving the first displacement and the second displacement information, the comparison module determines whether the first displacement and the second displacement exceed the allowable displacement. If neither the first displacement nor the second displacement exceeds the allowable displacement, the module does not output a signal to the alarm module and the tower crane control center; otherwise, it outputs a signal to the alarm module and the tower crane control center.

[0029] Furthermore, the image analysis module performs the following steps:

[0030] Step 1: Receive the target image, establish the image coordinates of the hook, and calculate the average brightness of the target image;

[0031] The second step is to determine whether the average brightness is within the range of the first threshold and the second threshold. If yes, proceed to the next step; otherwise, change the exposure parameters and repeat the first and second steps.

[0032] The third step is to determine whether the attenuation value needs to be deducted. If yes, the first displacement is obtained by comparing the target image with the reference image; otherwise, proceed to the next step.

[0033] Step 4: Update the attenuation value and gain; subtract the updated attenuation value from the target image and amplify the attenuated target image with the gain; compare the attenuated and amplified target image with the reference image to obtain the first displacement.

[0034] Fifth step: The first displacement obtained in the third or fourth step is transmitted to the image coordinates of the hook and displayed.

[0035] The image analysis module includes an image sensor, a digital / analog unit, an adder unit, an amplifier, an analog / digital unit, and a digital signal processor;

[0036] The image sensor is used to acquire an image of the hook to form a simulated image, wherein the simulated image has an average brightness;

[0037] The digital / analog unit is used to generate the attenuation value;

[0038] The addition unit is coupled to the image sensor and the digital / analog unit, and is used to subtract the attenuation value from the analog image;

[0039] The amplifier is used to amplify the attenuated analog image and has both linear and nonlinear gains to effectively increase the surface image resolution.

[0040] The analog / digital unit is a linear or nonlinear analog / digital unit, used to digitally attenuate and amplify the analog image;

[0041] The digital signal processor is used to compare the digitized analog image with the reference image to form a displacement, and to control the digital / analog unit to generate the attenuation value.

[0042] The lighting module includes a lighting device, including a laser spotlight that shines vertically toward the ground. The laser spotlight is bolted to a spotlight mounting rod. Two parallel angle steels are respectively provided at both ends of the spotlight mounting rod. The spotlight mounting rod is welded to one end of the angle steels. A hook is provided at the other end of the angle steels. The hook is used to fix the lighting module to the tower crane moving trolley.

[0043] Furthermore, the power supply module is mounted on the lighting device and includes a solar panel for collecting solar energy, an electrical box for receiving and storing electrical energy, and a conversion device for converting solar energy into electrical energy. One end of the solar panel is bolted to the angle steel, and the other end is bolted to the conversion device mounting bracket. The conversion device is located at the bottom of the solar panel and is fixedly connected to the conversion device mounting bracket by bolts. The electrical box is fixed to the electrical box mounting bracket by bolts, and both ends of the electrical box mounting bracket are welded to the angle steel. The solar panel and the conversion device, and the conversion device and the electrical box are respectively connected by cables.

[0044] The power supply module eliminates the need for direct power from the tower crane, ensuring uninterrupted operation. Furthermore, mounting the power supply module on the tower crane's mobile trolley facilitates maintenance and inspection. During the day, the laser spotlights are switched off, storing energy through solar panels. At night, the laser spotlights automatically turn on, allowing real-time positioning of the hook and boom as the mobile trolley moves, significantly improving visibility and safety during nighttime lifting operations. The use of bolts to connect components facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, increasing material turnover.

[0045] The shooting module includes a camera installed at the bottom of the tower crane's moving trolley, with the camera shooting direction perpendicular to the hook.

[0046] The displacement measurement module includes a first displacement sensor mounted on the tower crane moving trolley for measuring the displacement of the tower crane moving trolley; and a second displacement sensor mounted on the hook for measuring the displacement of the hook.

[0047] The alarm module includes a warning light and a buzzer.

[0048] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of the tower crane hook vertical positioning system provided by this invention are as follows: This tower crane hook vertical positioning system uses a camera module and a displacement measurement module to detect the displacement of the hook and the tower crane trolley. The positioning module then calculates the data to obtain the relative displacement between the load and the trolley. After judgment, a control command is sent to the alarm module and the tower crane control center to issue a warning, ensuring that the relative displacement between the load and the trolley is within a controllable range. Furthermore, using both camera and displacement measurement methods to detect the relative displacement between the hook and the trolley avoids measurement errors caused by a single detection method, preventing the timely detection of tilted lifting. It also avoids injuries caused by tilted lifting due to blind spots or weather-related visual interference, ensuring that the load is lifted vertically and reducing accidents during hook lifting and the lifting process.

Simultaneously, the displacement measurement module detects the displacement of the tower crane trolley and the hook and transmits it to the positioning module. The positioning module transmits the displacement information to the calculation module to obtain the relative displacement of the tower crane trolley and the hook, which is then used as the second displacement and sent to the comparison module. The comparison module then compares the first and second displacements with the allowable displacements. If neither the first nor the second displacement exceeds the allowable displacement, the hook is determined to be in a vertical state, and no control signal is output to the alarm module or the tower crane control center. If at least one of the first or the second displacement exceeds the allowable displacement, the hook is determined to be in an inclined state, and a control signal is output to the alarm module and the tower crane control center.

[0084] The third step is to determine whether the attenuation value needs to be deducted. If so, the first displacement is obtained by comparing the target image with the reference image; otherwise, proceed to the next step.

[0085] Step 4: Update the attenuation value and gain; subtract the updated attenuation value from the target image and amplify the attenuated target image with the gain; compare the attenuated and amplified target image with the reference image to obtain the first displacement.

[0086] Fifth, the first displacement obtained in the third or fourth step will be transmitted to the image coordinates of the hook and displayed.

[0087] It should be noted that the exposure parameters refer to the luminous intensity of the illumination module;

[0088] The first threshold is 64 gray levels; the second threshold is 128 gray levels.
