Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of port container transport technology. More specifically, this invention relates to a port container transport berthing system. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development and maturation of automated operations in container terminal yards, an increasing number of container terminal operations are adopting automated operation modes, employing automated rail-mounted gantry cranes (ARMGs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). During unloading, containers are unloaded from the ship and transported by AGVs along a pre-defined route to the sea side of the yard. The ARMGs then lift and transfer the containers to the roadside, where they are transported out of the terminal by trucks. During loading, trucks transport containers to the roadside, where the ARMGs lift and transfer them to the sea side, and the AGVs then transport them to the ship along a pre-defined route. When both loading and unloading operations occur at the same terminal, how to separately tow and moor loading and unloading vessels, and how to ensure orderly vehicle traffic flow under traffic interference conditions, thereby facilitating cargo transfer and alleviating traffic congestion, are pressing technical challenges that need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a terminal container transport docking system that can solve the problem of high traffic pressure caused by simultaneous loading, unloading and container transfer. It can achieve orderly coordination between ARMGs and AGVs, as well as complete separation between AGVs and container trucks, avoiding traffic interference and improving the safety and efficiency of container transport.

[0023] The terminal container transport berthing method, which constructs the aforementioned terminal container transport berthing system, also includes:
[0024] Loading and docking procedures: The cargo ship docks at the berth in the loading area, and the loading transport vehicle docks at the first loading plot. The first rail-mounted gantry crane lifts the container from the first stacking plot to the loading transport vehicle. After loading, the loading transport vehicle drives out of the yard enclosure area through the loading area exit gate along the dedicated road of the loading area. The loading transport vehicle drives along the external road to the first unloading plot to prepare for unloading. The first rail-mounted gantry crane lifts the container from the loading transport vehicle to the loading area platform.

The second rail-mounted gantry crane lifts the container from the loading and unloading transport vehicle to the second container stacking plot. After unloading, the unloading transport vehicle drives onto the external road and proceeds to the second loading plot for the next round of unloading, or stops at the unloading transport vehicle parking area.
[0026] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0027] First, the present invention sets up a loading area that allows the first rail-mounted gantry crane to move along the land to the coast. The loading and unloading vehicles cooperate with the first rail-mounted gantry crane to load and unload, and the loading and unloading vehicles cooperate with the loading and unloading bridge to load onto ships, so as to realize the orderly progress of the entire loading operation and improve the docking and loading efficiency of the collection and transportation.
[0028] Secondly, the present invention sets the unloading area so that the second rail-mounted gantry crane can move along the loading area to the side coast, that is, perpendicular to the movement direction of the first rail-mounted gantry crane, making full use of the space on the side coast for unloading. The second rail-mounted gantry crane and the unloading transport vehicle cooperate to unload the ship, load the vehicle, and unload the vehicle, so as to realize the orderly progress of the entire unloading operation and improve the docking and unloading efficiency of the collection and transportation.
[0029] Third, this invention forms a closed storage yard area by setting up a protective fence, with four gates in the east, west, south, and north directions. A ring road is set up outside the closed storage yard area, and an internal road is set up inside the closed storage yard area. This ensures that the transportation paths of loading and unloading vehicles do not overlap or interfere with each other, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the collection and transportation system. By setting up a parking area in the unloading area inside the closed storage yard area, it is convenient for all loading and unloading vehicles to park at designated points. The first loading area and the second unloading area are reserved to facilitate the transfer of trucks, further improving the efficiency of the collection and transportation system.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a terminal collection and transportation berthing system, including a loading area and an unloading area, wherein the loading area includes:
[0036] The first storage yard 1 includes a first loading plot, a first stacking plot, and a first unloading plot arranged sequentially from the land to the coast. The first stacking plot includes a first stacking unit 2 distributed in multiple rows and columns. The length direction of the first stacking unit 2 is arranged from the land to the coast. The first stacking unit 2 is used to stack containers.
[0037] Loading terminal 3 has a loading area platform along the coastline, which has multiple loading area berths, and the cargo ship 23 is moored parallel to the coastline.
[0038] The loading and transport vehicle moves clockwise around the first container stacking plot. The loading and transport vehicle is loaded at the first loading plot and unloaded at the first unloading plot.
[0039] Several first rail-mounted gantry cranes 5 are erected on both sides of the width direction of the first stacking unit 2. The lifting path of the first rail-mounted gantry cranes 5 includes from the first stacking block to the first loading block, and from the first unloading block to the loading area platform.
[0040] The loading and unloading bridge 6 is located on the loading area platform, and the hoisting path of the loading bridge is from the loading area platform to the cargo ship 23.
[0041] In the above technical solution, the present invention arranges containers in the first yard 1 of the loading area for directional stacking, so that the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 can perform segmented lifting from the land to the coast. Before loading, the container truck transports the container to the first stacking plot. During loading, the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 lifts the container from the first stacking plot to the loading transport vehicle. During unloading, the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 lifts the container from the loading transport vehicle to the loading area platform. The loading and unloading bridge 6 lifts the container from the loading area platform to the cargo ship 23.
[0042] The first container yard 1 is used for stacking containers. The stacking method adopts the first container stacking unit 2, which is distributed in multiple rows and columns to facilitate classification and movement of the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5. One first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 is erected above a row of first container stacking units 2, along the land to the coast. During the entire loading process (loading, unloading, and loading onto ships), it cooperates with the loading transport vehicles and loading and unloading bridges 6. The loading terminal 3 sets the loading area berths parallel to the coast to facilitate the loading and unloading bridges 6 to lift the containers into place. The loading area platform is set up to facilitate the rapid unloading and departure of loading transport vehicles after they arrive, forming a temporary storage and classified parking area. Loading transport vehicles move in a clockwise circular motion around the first container stacking plot. The movement path is fixed and the one-way movement is orderly.
[0043] In another technical solution, the unloading area includes:
[0044] The second storage yard 7 includes a second unloading plot, a second stacking plot, and a second loading plot arranged sequentially from the loading area to the side coast. The second stacking plot includes a second stacking unit 8 distributed in multiple rows and columns. The length direction of the second stacking unit 8 is arranged from the loading area to the side coast. The second stacking unit 8 is used to stack containers.
[0045] The unloading wharf 9 has an unloading area platform along the side coast, the unloading area platform has multiple unloading area berths, and long breakwaters are set on both sides of the unloading area berths. The unloading ship 10 is moored perpendicular to the side coast.
[0046] The unloading transport vehicle moves clockwise around the second container stacking plot. The unloading transport vehicle is loaded at the second loading plot and unloaded at the second unloading plot.
[0047] Several second rail-mounted gantry cranes 11 are erected on both sides of the width direction of the second container stacking unit 8. The lifting path of the second rail-mounted gantry cranes 11 includes from the long embankment to the second loading site and from the second unloading site to the second container stacking site.
[0048] In the above technical solution, the present invention arranges containers in the second yard 7 of the unloading area in a directional manner, so that the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 can perform segmented lifting from the loading area to the side coast. During loading, the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 lifts the containers from the unloading ship 10 to the unloading transport vehicle. During unloading, the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 lifts the containers from the unloading transport vehicle to the second container stacking plot.
[0049] The second container yard 7 is used for stacking containers. The stacking method adopts the method of stacking second container units 8 in blocks, which are distributed in multiple rows and columns to facilitate classification and movement of the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11. The rows and columns of the second container units 8 are perpendicular to the first container units 2. A second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 is erected above a row of second container units 8, along the loading area to the side coast and extending to the breakwater. During the entire unloading process (unloading from ships, loading onto trucks, and unloading from trucks), it works in conjunction with the unloading transport vehicles. The unloading wharf 9 sets the unloading area berths perpendicular to the side coast to facilitate the smooth docking of unloading ships 10 and the lifting of containers into place by the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11. The setting of the unloading area platform facilitates the quick departure of all unloading ships 10 after unloading, forming a temporary storage and classified parking area. The unloading transport vehicles move in a clockwise circular motion around the second container plot, with a fixed movement path and orderly one-way movement.
[0050] Another technical solution includes:
[0051] The guardrail 12 encloses the first and second container stacking plots to form a closed storage area. The height of the guardrail 12 is lower than the lifting height of the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 and the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11. The first loading plot is located inside the guardrail 12, the first unloading plot is located outside the guardrail 12, the second loading plot is located outside the guardrail 12, and the second unloading plot is located inside the guardrail 12.
[0052] In the above technical solution, the present invention encloses the first storage yard 1 and the second storage yard 7 by setting up a guardrail net 12 to form a closed storage area for closed management. At the same time, the height of the guardrail net 12 is lower than the lifting height of the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 and the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11, which facilitates the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 and the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 to cross the guardrail net 12 to transfer containers from loading transport vehicles to the loading area platform, and from the unloading ship 10 to the unloading transport vehicles. The first loading plot and the second unloading plot are located inside the guardrail net 12 to facilitate loading at the first loading plot and unloading at the second unloading plot. The first unloading plot and the second loading plot are located outside the guardrail net 12 to facilitate unloading at the first unloading plot and loading onto the ship, as well as unloading from the unloading ship 10 and loading at the second loading plot.
[0053] Another technical solution also includes:
[0054] An external road 13 is provided around the outside of the guardrail 12. The external road 13 has an entrance and exit on the land side between the loading area and the unloading area. The external road 13 is a one-way lane that travels in a clockwise direction.
[0055] The internal roads are set inside the guardrail 12. The internal roads include a common road 21 for the storage yard and a dedicated road 22 for the loading area. The common road 21 for the storage yard is located on the central axis between the loading area and the unloading area. The common road 21 for the storage yard is a two-way road. The dedicated road 22 for the loading area is located in the first loading plot. The dedicated road 22 for the loading area is a one-way road.
[0056] The gate includes a main shore gate 15, a side shore gate 16, a loading area exit gate 17, and an entrance / exit gate 18. The main shore gate 15 and the entrance / exit gate 18 are located at both ends of the common road 21 of the storage yard, and the loading area exit gate 17 is located at the exit of the dedicated road 22 of the loading area.
[0057] In the above technical solution, the external road 13 is a one-way lane traveling clockwise, with at least two lanes. The internal roads include the yard common road 21 and the loading area dedicated road 22. The yard common road 21 is a two-way lane, and the loading area dedicated road 22 is a one-way lane. The travel direction is the same as the clockwise direction on the land side. Loading and unloading vehicles travel along the closed path formed by the loading area dedicated road 22, part of the external road 13, and the yard common road 21 to carry out loading, unloading, and ship loading operations. Unloading and unloading vehicles travel along the closed path formed by the remaining part of the external road 13 and the yard common road 21 to carry out ship unloading, loading, and unloading operations. The main shore gate 15 is set up for loading and unloading vehicles to enter the yard enclosed area, the loading area exit gate 17 is set up for loading and unloading vehicles to leave the yard enclosed area, and the entrance and exit gate 18 is set up for trucks to enter the yard enclosed area, enter the first loading plot, and transport containers to the first stacking plot, or enter the second unloading plot and transport containers from the second stacking plot to the outside of the yard enclosed area.
[0058] Another technical solution also includes:
[0059] The parking area is located in the unloading area. The parking area includes a loading vehicle parking plot 19 and an unloading vehicle parking plot 20. The loading vehicle parking plot 19 is located on the land side and is aligned with the dedicated road 22 of the loading area. The unloading vehicle parking plot 20 is located on the coastline side and is equipped with the side coastline gate 16.
[0060] In the above technical solution, the parking area is set up in the unloading area, making full use of the open space on the land side and the coast side of the second yard 7. When no operation is required, the loading and unloading vehicles are parked in the loading vehicle parking area 19 and the unloading vehicle parking area 20, respectively. At this time, the external road 13 and the internal road are avoided, achieving orderly management. At the same time, it is convenient for trucks to enter the first loading area and the second unloading area of the yard for the transfer of containers inside and outside the park, without affecting the normal driving of the trucks.
[0061] The terminal container transport berthing method, which constructs the aforementioned terminal container transport berthing system, also includes:
[0062] Loading and docking procedures: The cargo ship 23 docks at the loading area berth, and the loading transport vehicle docks at the first loading plot. The first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 lifts the container from the first stacking plot to the loading transport vehicle. After loading, the loading transport vehicle drives away from the yard enclosure area through the loading area exit gate 17 along the dedicated road 22 of the loading area. The loading transport vehicle drives along the external road 13 to the first unloading plot to prepare for unloading. The first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 lifts the container from the loading transport vehicle to the loading area platform. The loading and unloading bridge 6 lifts the container from the loading area platform to the cargo ship 23. After loading, the loading transport vehicle drives into the yard common road 21 and drives to the first loading plot for the next round of loading, or docks at the loading transport vehicle parking plot 19.
[0063] Unloading procedure: The unloading ship 10 is moored at the unloading area berth, and the unloading transport vehicle is moored at the second loading plot. The second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 lifts the container from the unloading ship 10 to the unloading transport vehicle. After loading, the unloading transport vehicle drives along the external road 13 through the entrance gate 18 into the enclosed area of the yard. The unloading transport vehicle drives along the yard's common road 21 to the second unloading plot to prepare for unloading. The second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 lifts the container from the loading and unloading transport vehicle to the second container stacking plot. After unloading, the unloading transport vehicle drives into the external road 13 and drives to the second loading plot for the next round of unloading, or stops at the unloading transport vehicle parking plot 20.
[0064] In the above technical solution, the loading area is configured to allow the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 to move along the land towards the coast. The loading transport vehicle works in conjunction with the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5 for loading and unloading, and the loading transport vehicle works in conjunction with the loading and unloading bridge 6 for loading onto the ship, thus realizing the orderly progress of the entire loading operation and improving the docking and loading efficiency of the collection and transportation system. The unloading area is configured to allow the second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 to move along the loading area towards the side coast, that is, perpendicular to the movement direction of the first rail-mounted gantry crane 5, making full use of the space on the side coast for unloading. The second rail-mounted gantry crane 11 works in conjunction with the unloading transport vehicle for unloading from the ship, loading onto the vehicle, and unloading onto the vehicle, thus realizing the orderly progress of the entire unloading operation and improving the docking and unloading efficiency of the collection and transportation system.
[0065] The storage yard is enclosed by a fence 12 to form a closed area, with four gates in the east, west, south, and north directions. A ring road 13 is set up outside the closed area, and an internal road is set up inside the closed area. This ensures that the transport routes of loading and unloading vehicles do not overlap or interfere with each other, improving the efficiency of the collection and transportation. By setting up a parking area in the unloading area inside the closed area, it is convenient for all loading and unloading vehicles to park at designated points. The first loading area and the second unloading area are reserved to facilitate the transfer of trucks, further improving the efficiency of the collection and transportation.
