Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of crane application technology, specifically to a crane intelligent magnetic separation method, device, and system. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the steel industry, the demand for cranes has been increasing, promoting innovation and progress in crane technology. However, due to the steel industry's increasingly higher requirements for the efficiency of steel transportation and the continuous upgrading of hoisting needs, people's requirements for hoisting automation, intelligence, and precision are also constantly increasing, making the improvement of various performance indicators a difficult problem to be solved.
[0003] In recent years, with the increasing demand for steel plates, the existing electromagnetic control systems for cranes can no longer meet production needs. The main problems are as follows:
[0004] 1. Long adjustment time for lifting electromagnets
[0005] Currently, electromagnetic cranes have limited magnetic force selection for steel plate attraction and release operations, typically offering only five settings: 20%-40%-60%-80%-100%, to accommodate steel plates of varying thicknesses. Due to the limited magnetic force adjustment, electromagnets can easily attract and lift 2-3 plates during the lifting of thinner plates. Furthermore, since loading and unloading are remotely controlled, operators cannot promptly detect multiple attracted plates, leading to issues such as discrepancies between the actual plate number and the actual plate being lifted, and sometimes even the safety hazard of plates suddenly falling. If operators do detect the problem in time, they can adjust the crane's magnetic force, the gap between the electromagnet and the steel plate, and repeatedly adjust the attraction and release of the plates through demagnetization, enhancement, and repositioning until successful lifting is achieved. This significantly impacts the crane's steel plate handling speed, reduces production pace, increases labor intensity, and generates substantial noise pollution.
[0006] 2. Monotonous work mode
[0007] Depending on the actual needs on site and the requirement for high production efficiency, it is sometimes necessary to simultaneously attract multiple steel plates and then release them separately. This requires linear or precise adjustment of the crane's electromagnet settings to meet production demands. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the issues of long adjustment time and limited operating modes of lifting electromagnets, this invention provides an intelligent magnetic separation method, device, and system for cranes. This method utilizes big data technology and other auxiliary equipment to construct a mathematical model coupling steel plate specifications with magnetic force, enabling precise separation and lifting of steel plates of different sizes and thicknesses, thereby improving the operating efficiency of lifting equipment.
[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an intelligent magnetic separation method for cranes, comprising the following steps:
[0010] Collect relevant information about the steel plate and control information from the crane's PLC;
[0011] The collected information is processed and then stored;
[0012] The processed data is then matched with data from the control model library.
[0013] If the match is successful, the system outputs and sends instructions to the crane PLC control system based on the optimal magnetic force and electromagnet working quantity of the steel plate matched in the control model library to complete the loading, unloading and position movement of the steel plate.
[0014] If the matching fails, the correlation between different types of data collected is analyzed, and a mathematical model of the coupling between steel plate specifications and electromagnet magnetic force is obtained through iterative evolution.
[0015] The optimal magnetic force of the steel plate and the number of electromagnets working were obtained through simulation experiments and stored in the control model library.
[0016] As a further limitation of the technical solution of the present invention, the steps of collecting relevant information of the steel plate and control information of the crane PLC include:

[0021] Determine whether the information of the steel plate to be lifted is consistent with the information obtained from the tail markings of the steel plate;
[0022] If the information is consistent, the system outputs and sends instructions to the crane PLC control system based on the optimal magnetic force of the steel plate and the number of electromagnets working according to the matching steel plate in the control model library to complete the loading, unloading and position movement of the steel plate.
[0023] If the information is inconsistent, the error message will be sent to the management system and pushed to the operator for manual confirmation.

[0026] Upon receiving the uploaded data, the system processes the data to obtain the exact location of the plate and the centerline position of the steel plate's length.
[0027] As a further limitation of the technical solution of the present invention, the step of outputting and issuing instructions to the crane PLC control system based on the optimal magnetic force of the steel plate and the number of electromagnets working according to the control model library includes:
[0028] Based on the optimal magnetic force of the steel plate and the number of electromagnets working according to the matching in the control model library, the output command is sent to the crane PLC control system.
[0029] When the centerline of the crane's electromagnetic field coincides with the centerline of the steel plate's length, the crane is controlled to stop, and the electromagnetic field is controlled to execute the lifting and transport instructions for the steel plate based on the received control instructions for the optimal magnetic force of the steel plate and the number of working electromagnets.
[0030] As a further limitation of the technical solution of this invention, the steps of analyzing the correlation between different types of collected data and obtaining a mathematical model of the coupling between steel plate specifications and electromagnet magnetic force through iterative evolution include:
[0031] The consistency of electromagnet performance and the flatness of its bottom plane are inspected.
[0032] Mechanical analysis was conducted on the adsorption of thin and thick plates by electromagnets with different distributions. Conventional electromagnets were used to conduct adsorption and release experiments on the plates. The relationship between the deformation of the plates and the distribution of electromagnets was found through the experiments, and an electromagnet distribution model was established for lifting steel plates of different specifications.
[0033] As a further limitation of the technical solution of the present invention, before the step of analyzing the correlation of different types of collected data and obtaining a mathematical model of the coupling between steel plate specifications and electromagnet magnetic force through iterative evolution, the following steps are included:
[0034] A precise electromagnet current control and power supply control system is established based on the operating principle of crane electromagnets; specifically including:

[0041] The optimal value acquisition module is used to obtain the optimal magnetic force of the steel plate and the number of electromagnets working through simulation experiments and store them in the control model library.
[0042] Thirdly, the technical solution of the present invention also provides an intelligent magnetic separation system for cranes, including a server, a crane PLC control system, and a data acquisition module;
[0043] The crane's PLC control system and data acquisition module are connected to the server respectively;
[0044] The data acquisition module is used to read the tail marking information of the steel plate and upload it to the server; scan the 2D outline information of all objects during the crane's movement and the 3D data model of the entire site, and upload the scanned information to the server; it is also used to collect the process information of the steel plate and the control information of the crane PLC and upload it to the server.
[0045] The server analyzes the correlation of different types of collected data, and obtains a mathematical model of the coupling between steel plate specifications and electromagnet magnetic force through iterative evolution. The optimal magnetic force of the steel plate and the number of working electromagnets are obtained through simulation experiments and stored in the control model library. When the server receives the information uploaded by the acquisition module, it compares and calculates with the data in the control model library, provides the current control system for lifting the steel plate, and sends instructions to the crane PLC control system to complete the loading, unloading and position movement of the steel plate.
[0046] As a further limitation of the technical solution of the present invention, the acquisition module includes a machine vision device and a laser contour scanning sensor installed at the position of the crane beam.
[0047] The machine vision device and the laser contour scanning sensor are respectively connected to the server;

[0051] The received scanned information is processed and analyzed to obtain the exact location of the plate and the centerline of the steel plate. Simultaneously, the steel plate marking information scanned by the machine vision device is compared with the length, width, weight, and coordinate position information of the steel plate to be lifted, as instructed by the server. If the information matches, the information uploaded by the acquisition module is compared and calculated with the data in the control model library to determine the current steel plate lifting control system. Instructions are then sent to the crane's PLC control system to control the crane to move slowly. When the centerline of the crane's electromagnetic field coincides with the centerline of the steel plate, the crane stops, and the electromagnet executes the lifting and transport instruction for the steel plate. If the information is inconsistent, a prompt message is sent to the operator for manual confirmation.
[0052] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0108] The present invention provides a method for implementing intelligent magnetic separation in cranes, comprising the following steps:
[0109] S101. Install a machine vision device at the position of the crane beam;
[0110] S102. Install a laser contour scanning sensor at the position of the crane beam;
[0111] S103. Collect steel plate material information and crane weighing information from the production system based on Internet of Things (IoT) communication technology;
[0112] S104. Establish a precise electromagnet current control and power supply control system based on the operating principle of crane electromagnets.
[0113] S105. Set the above data as a unified communication conversion standard and integrate it into the database;
[0114] S106. Establish a mathematical model of the number of electromagnets in operation, the magnitude of magnetic force, and the steady-state lifting of steel plates of different lengths, widths, and thicknesses by combining experimental methods and big data analysis technology.
[0115] S107. Install a PC server on the crane's central control console.
[0116] This invention uses an electromagnetic crane used in a heat treatment workshop for 4300mm thick plates as an example to illustrate a method for intelligent magnetic separation in cranes. Figure 3 As shown, the specific method is as follows:
[0117] In step S201, as Figure 4 As shown, the machine vision device 21 is a commercially available device with supplementary lighting. Its response time is less than 40ms. The device reads the marking information at the tail of the steel plate and uploads it to the PC server.
[0118] In step S202, as Figure 4 As shown, the laser contour scanning sensor 22 is installed at the crane beam position, with a response time of less than 50ms and a measurement accuracy of ±15mm. The laser contour scanning sensor scans the 2D contour information of all objects during the crane's movement and the 3D data model of the entire site. This information is uploaded to the PC server, where dedicated software processes and analyzes the data to obtain the exact position of the plate and the centerline position of the steel plate's length. Then, the steel plate marking information scanned by the machine vision device is compared with the length, width, weight, and coordinate position information of the steel plate to be lifted issued by the PC server. If the information matches, the PC server calculates the specific position the crane should move to and sends it to the crane's PLC system, controlling the crane to move slowly. When the centerline of the crane's electromagnetic field coincides with the centerline of the steel plate's length, the crane stops and controls the electromagnet to execute the lifting and transport command for the steel plate. If the information does not match, the error information is fed back to the PC server and a new command is issued, or it is pushed to the operator for manual confirmation.
[0119] In step S203, the collected information includes primary and secondary system information of the steel plate production system, as well as control information such as current and voltage from the crane PLC. The primary and secondary system information of the steel plate includes key production information such as steel type, length, width, thickness, weight, and date, and other information, ranging from 5000 to 14000*1600 to 4000*5 to 100mm. The crane control information includes control information for transformers, rectifiers, contactors, and other components.
[0120] In step S204, the control system includes analyzing the current and voltage characteristics of different steel plates under different operating modes. This is achieved through analysis of the electromagnet's constant magnetization mode, strong magnetization mode, adjustable magnetization mode, and sheet splitting mode, as well as their operational processes. Based on real-time sensor sampling values, theoretical analysis is performed using inverter principles, PI control systems, rectification principles, and a positive logic non-circulating current control subsystem to determine precise current control and a power supply control system. Preliminary simulations of the control system are conducted using Simulink to identify problems and improve the control system, verifying the correctness of the fundamental analysis.
[0121] In step S205, the machine vision device data, laser contour scanning data, steel plate primary and secondary information in the production system, and control information such as current and voltage of the crane PLC belong to different systems. They need to be converted into data in a unified format and stored on the server to facilitate data correlation analysis. The data exchange is carried out through Profibus-DP cable.
[0122] In step S206, the mathematical model includes checking the consistency of electromagnet performance and the flatness of the bottom plane; conducting mechanical analysis when electromagnets with different distributions adsorb thin and thick plates; using conventional electromagnets to conduct plate adsorption and release experiments; finding the relationship between plate deformation and electromagnet distribution through experiments; and establishing an electromagnet distribution model for lifting steel plates of different specifications.
[0123] In step S207, the server integrates and compares the data from steps 201-207, constructs a mathematical model of steel plate specifications and electromagnet magnetic coupling using big data technology, and ultimately obtains a control model library of optimal magnetic force and electromagnet working quantity for steel plates of different specifications. Specifically, after receiving data from the machine vision device, laser contour scanning data, primary and secondary information of the steel plates in the production system, and control information such as current and voltage from the crane PLC, the server compares and calculates this data with the control model library data, provides the current steel plate lifting control system, and issues instructions to the crane PLC control system to complete the loading, unloading, and position movement of the steel plates.
