Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of crane vessels, and in particular to a main hook motion measurement system and method for a large crane vessel. Background Art

[0002] Large crane vessels are important equipment for water construction. From the overall hoisting of wind turbines to the overall lifting of large-section bridges to large pile driving operations, they are all inseparable from large lifting equipment. However, the efficiency of construction operations and the judgment of operation windows play a crucial part, and whether the main hook can reach the swing range for hoisting operations is the main judgment content. Currently, the observation of the main hook and the judgment of operation feasibility mainly rely on human eye observation, and it is experienced operators who rely on visual inspection and experience to judge whether the movement amplitude of the main hook meets the operation requirements. This observation method is relatively common, but there are large errors, and the judgment often tends to be conservative, and there are also many uncontrollable factors.

Detailed implementation manners

[0041] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0042] The present invention discloses a main hook motion measurement system for a large hoisting ship, which includes a hoisting hull 1. An arm 2 is provided on the hoisting hull 1. The arm 2 is connected to a main hook 4 through a suspension cable 3. There are two arms 2, and two main hooks 4 are provided on each arm 2. The four main hooks 4 are arranged in a rectangle. Two laser rangefinder radars 9 are fixedly connected to the cross beam of each arm 2. The included angle formed by the connection line between the centers of the two laser rangefinder radars 9 on the cross beam of each arm 2 and the center of the cross beam of this arm 2 is 60°. The two fan-shaped fields of view of the two laser rangefinder radars 9 on each arm 2 form a butterfly-shaped field of view, and the field of view range of the butterfly-shaped field of view can completely cover the motion space of the main hook 4 under various working conditions.

[0043] Preferably, the main definition of the large hoisting ship of the present invention is as follows: This ship is a large hoisting ship with double arms. Two main hooks are arranged front and back on each arm. The 4 main hooks of the whole ship are arranged in a rectangle. Two lidar radars are vertically installed on the platform at an included angle of 60 degrees. The platform is fixed to the cross beam through a special installation clamp. The arm is a fixed arm, a double arm, arranged at the bow operation part, and is the main operation equipment of the large hoisting ship.

[0044] Preferably, two laser rangefinder radars 9 are installed at the cross beam of the boom 108m away from the base.

[0045] Preferably, a platform 10 is connected to the cross beam of each arm 2 through an installation clamp, and two laser rangefinder radars 9 are arranged on the platform 10.

[0046] Preferably, the arm 2 is a fixed arm, and the arm 2 is arranged at the bow operation part.

[0047] Preferably, one end of the suspension cable 3 is connected to a suspension cable winch located on the hoisting hull 1, and the other end is connected to the main hook 4.

[0048] Preferably, the suspension cable winch is arranged below the A-frame. The cable passes through the connecting arm of the A-frame and passes through the guiding pulley at the lower end of the suspension cable platform at the upper end of the arm and hangs down naturally.

[0049] Preferably, the main hook is located at the front end of the suspension cable. Two main hooks and one auxiliary hook are arranged on a single arm. The two main hooks are arranged front and back.

[0050] Preferably, two lidar sensors are vertically installed on the console at an angle of 60°, and the console is fixed to the crossbeam by a special installation clamp. To ensure that the field of view of the lidar sensors can cover the space where the main hook moves, two lidar sensors are installed at the crossbeam 108 m away from the base of each boom. The two lidar sensors are vertically installed and arranged at an angle of 60°. Thus, the two fan-shaped fields of view of the two lidar sensors form a large butterfly-shaped field of view, and this butterfly-shaped field of view can completely cover the movement space of the main hook under various working conditions. The main working principle is that the laser of the lidar sensor emits a cluster of pulsed lasers to the wave surface. After the laser reaches an object (main hook) with a certain reflectivity, it is reflected back to the radar receiver. According to the laser ranging principle, the distance and azimuth angle from the radar to the target point can be obtained, and the overall movement of the measured object (main hook) can be determined.

[0051] Preferably, the main console is located in the captain's cabin and integrated into the panel of the ship intelligent auxiliary decision-making system, serving as the main decision-making center during the construction operation window period. The sub-console is located in the bow observation house, serving as the main observation point for measuring the movement of the main hook during construction operations and an auxiliary decision-making point for the construction operation window. The spreader and the object being lifted are located directly below the main hook and connected by the main hook, having a certain relative position with the main hook, and the relative position of the spreader and the object being lifted with respect to the main hook is relatively stable.

[0052] The present invention also discloses a method for measuring the movement of the main hook of a large lifting ship, which includes obtaining the three-dimensional point cloud of four main hooks 4 based on four lidar sensors 9; obtaining the three-dimensional front view of the point cloud of the four main hooks 4 based on the three-dimensional point cloud; obtaining the three-dimensional coordinates of the movement of the main hook based on the three-dimensional front view of the point cloud and the FVNet algorithm of the target detection framework; and reconstructing and visualizing the movement field of the lifting hook based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the movement of the main hook.

[0053] Specifically, the method for measuring the movement of the main hook of a large lifting ship disclosed in the present invention includes:

[0054] Correction of the absolute movement of the main hook:

[0055] Constructing a main hook target detection algorithm using a deep learning neural network method based on the three-dimensional point cloud generated by the lidar sensor to realize the monitoring of the three-dimensional movement of the main hook.

[0056] The monitoring of the main hook movement is based on the point cloud 3D front view generation and target detection framework FVNet algorithm implementation (it should be pointed out that the "point cloud 3D front view generation and target detection framework FVNet algorithm implementation" recorded in the present invention belongs to the prior art, and the specific reference can be made to the paper FVNet: 3D Front-View Proposal Generation for Real-Time Object Detection from Point Clouds. The creativity of the present invention lies in applying the above method to the specific scenario of large crane ship main hook measurement). The above algorithm includes two stages: the generation of the front view proposal and the estimation of the main hook 3D bounding box parameters. First, the 3D point cloud is projected onto the cylinder to generate a front view feature map that retains rich information. Then a region proposal network is introduced to predict the 3D region proposal from the generated map, and further extract the main hook object of interest from the entire point cloud. Finally, the point features are extracted from the extracted target points, and the final main hook 3D bounding box parameters are regressed in the standard coordinate system. The center point of the main hook 3D bounding box is the 3D coordinate of the main hook movement.

[0057] Since the hull in the water will inevitably be affected by the combined effects of wind, waves and currents, and the laser ranging radar is fixed on the crane arm, it will move along with the hull. During the lifting operation, the absolute coordinate position of the hook is required to match the construction position.

[0058] First, establish the earth coordinate system O-XYZ and the body coordinate system O'-xyz for describing the point coordinates. The earth coordinate system is fixed to the earth, and the origin of the coordinates is the center of gravity of the floating body. The body coordinate system is fixed to the laser radar, and its origin of the coordinates is the center of the radar O'. The x-axis points from the stern to the bow, the y-axis points from the port side to the starboard side, and the z-axis points vertically from the bottom of the radar to the top. Then, the laser radar with an integrated inertial navigation module is installed on the platform, and the radar coverage area is directed to the main hook and the hanging object.

[0059] The laser radar emits a cluster of pulsed lasers at a certain pulse frequency to form a conical measurement area covering the entire domain. Based on the laser ranging principle, the coordinates P0i (x, y, z, t) of each laser reflection point on the wave surface in the body coordinate system are calculated. All reflection points form the main hook coordinate set {P0i (x, y, z, t)}. At the same time, the six-degree-of-freedom motion of the radar relative to the earth coordinate system is synchronously measured by the inertial navigation module integrated on the laser radar. And the coordinate transformation matrix Ni(t) is obtained from the six-degree-of-freedom motion:

[0060]

[0061] Then, in the main hook motion data processing module, the coordinate transformation algorithm is used to transform the main hook coordinate set from the body-fixed coordinate P0i(x, y, z, t) to the earth coordinate Pei(x, y, z, t):

[0062] {Pei} = {Ni(t)}{P0i}

[0063] Thus, based on the lidar and the data processing module, the acquisition of three-dimensional main hook data in the earth coordinate system is completed. Finally, the data processing module sends the acquired three-dimensional main hook coordinate set {Pei} to the central processing computer through wireless or wired data transmission for the reconstruction and visualization of the hook motion field.

[0064] Lidar measurement and data transmission:

[0065] The main console or the sub-console can control simultaneously and generate real-time observation results. When there is no object being lifted, it is the empty hook condition, and when there is an object being lifted, it is the loaded hook condition.

[0066] Empty hook condition

[0067] The main console or the sub-console sends a measurement start signal;

[0068] The lidar receives the signal from the main console or the sub-console and starts the laser emission work;

[0069] The lidar emits lasers covering the entire designed range horizontally and vertically;

[0070] The lidar receives the laser reflected by the main hook and processes and analyzes the reflected signal;

[0071] The lidar converts the collected reflected signal into the position signals of the empty hook in the horizontal and vertical directions;

[0072] The lidar transmits the position signals of the empty hook back to the main console and the sub-console;

[0073] The main console and the sub-console display the position parameters of the empty hook, and process the signal into a three-dimensional model and display the current state in real time on the panels of the main console and the sub-console.

[0074] Precisely observe the real-time motion state of the 6 degrees of freedom of the main hook, providing intelligent auxiliary decision-making for the main hook to judge the construction operation window period and predict dangerous situations.

[0075] The intelligent auxiliary decision-making alarms when the lidar monitors that the angle between the swing of the empty hook and the vertical axis exceeds 15°, and issues alarm messages simultaneously on the main console and the sub-console, reminding the operator that the swing amplitude of the main hook is too large and it is necessary to adjust the hull, boom and wire rope length to reduce the swing of the main hook.

[0076] Lifting load condition

[0077] The main console or the secondary console sends a measurement start signal;

[0078] The laser ranging radar receives the signal from the main console or the secondary console and starts the laser emission work;

[0079] The laser ranging radar emits lasers covering the entire designed range within the horizontal and vertical ranges;

[0080] The laser ranging radar receives the laser reflected by the main hook and processes and analyzes the reflected signal;

[0081] The laser ranging radar converts the collected reflected signal into the position signals of the empty hook in the horizontal and vertical directions;

[0082] The laser ranging radar transmits the position signals of the empty hook back to the main console and the secondary console;

[0083] The main console and the secondary console display the position parameters of the empty hook, and process the signal into a three-dimensional model and display the current state in real time on the panels of the main console and the secondary console.

[0084] At the same time, input the three-dimensional parameters of the lifted object and the lifting appliance and the relative positions of the main hook, the lifting appliance and the lifted object into the panel of the main console or the secondary console, and analyze to obtain the three-dimensional real-time state diagram of the lifted object.

[0085] By accurately measuring the real-time motion state of the 6 degrees of freedom of the main hook, calculate the real-time motion state of the 6 degrees of freedom of the lifted load, and provide an intelligent auxiliary decision for the construction operation regarding the lifted load.

[0086] The intelligent auxiliary decision during lifting the load:

[0087] During single boom operation, when the laser ranging radar monitors that the included angle between the overall swing of the two main hooks and the lifted load and the vertical axis exceeds 5°, an alarm is triggered, and alarm messages are sent simultaneously to the main console and the secondary console, reminding the operator that the swing amplitude of the main hook is too large, and it is necessary to adjust the hull, the boom and the wire rope length to reduce the swing of the main hook, or lower the main hook and the lifted load to a lower position.

[0088] During double boom operation, when the laser ranging radar monitors that the included angle between the overall swing of the four main hooks and the lifted load and the vertical axis exceeds 5°, an alarm is triggered, and alarm messages are sent simultaneously to the main console and the secondary console, reminding the operator that the swing amplitude of the main hook is too large, and it is necessary to adjust the hull, the boom and the wire rope length to reduce the swing of the main hook, or lower the main hook and the lifted load to a lower position.

According to the principle of laser ranging, the coordinates P0i(x, y, z, t) of each laser reflection point on the wave surface in the body coordinate system are calculated. All the reflection points form the main hook coordinate set {P0i(x, y, z, t)}. At the same time, the six-degree-of-freedom motion of the lidar relative to the earth coordinate system is synchronously measured through the inertial navigation module integrated on the lidar And the coordinate transformation matrix Ni(t) is obtained from the six-degree-of-freedom motion: Then, in the main hook motion data processing module, the coordinate transformation algorithm is used to transform the main hook coordinate set from the body coordinate P0i (x, y, z, t) to the earth coordinate Pei (x, y, z, t): {Pei}={Ni(t)}{P0i} Thus, based on the lidar and the data processing module, the acquisition of three-dimensional main hook data in the earth coordinate system is completed; finally, the data processing module sends the collected three-dimensional main hook coordinate set {Pei} to the central processing computer through wireless or wired data transmission for the reconstruction and visualization of the hook motion field; Lidar measurement and data transmission: The main console or the secondary console can control simultaneously and generate real-time observation results. When there is no object being lifted, it is the empty hook condition, and when there is an object being lifted, it is the lifting condition.
