Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a six-point truss sand suction lifting device for a laying ship and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A laying ship is an engineering vessel used for channel management and coastal bottom protection projects. It can lift concrete interlocking blocks and mortar transported from barges through the lifting equipment and sand suction and filling equipment installed on the laying ship, and suck and discharge mortar to the laying arrangements, sand bags, and sand ribs, and then transport them to the seabed.

[0003] Existing chain block installation on laying vessels relies entirely on manual experience: two operators operate two fully revolving cranes at the bow and stern of the vessel to lift the concrete chain blocks. The lifting position, placement, and lifting process require remote observation by the operators with weak eyesight, and remote control by multiple on-site workers using high-frequency communication tools. This results in relatively high labor costs and low efficiency and safety. During construction, the two cranes can only lift two chain blocks. A single cycle from lifting the chain block to the lifting position and back to the lifting position takes 6 minutes. During the lifting process, the two crane booms must be carefully positioned to prevent collisions. The load sways significantly during the lifting process, making it difficult for humans to accurately determine the desired lowering position. Crane operators must constantly adjust the crane booms and revolving mechanisms under the guidance of on-site command personnel to ensure accurate placement of the chain blocks. This results in relatively low lifting efficiency and safety, and requires a high level of operational proficiency and coordination between the operators and command personnel.

[0004] Sand suction and filling need to be completed through manual operation of different equipment. The sand suction pump motor, cable, sand suction pump must be connected to the ship-end delivery pipeline and distribution box first, and then the sand suction pump must be hoisted into the barge cabin. The pre-construction preparation process is cumbersome, the labor cost is high, and the construction efficiency is low. During the startup, the operator cannot directly observe the actual operation of the pump, and the relative safety value is low. During the entire construction period, 6-7 workers are required to continuously operate the flushing nozzle to sweep the barge cabin, and at the same time adjust the position of the mud pump in real time to achieve the required suction concentration of the mud pump. The labor demand is large, which leads to increased labor costs, and the operator needs to have certain work experience. The operator must be highly concentrated during the entire operation to prevent the mortar concentration from being too high and the mud pump from overturning, which may lead to production accidents.

[0005] The existing construction technology of laying vessels requires a large amount of manual shifts. Affected by the individual differences of operators, there are problems such as emotionality, fatigue, uneven skills, and construction safety and efficiency varying from person to person. Many key parameter decisions rely too much on manual experience, and fail to effectively utilize the massive data accumulated during construction to provide data support for optimizing construction.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a six-point truss sand suction lifting device for a laying ship and a method for using the device are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a six-point truss sand suction lifting device and a method of use for a laying ship, thereby minimizing the labor intensity and labor cost of operators and effectively improving the medium-precision control, safety performance and construction efficiency of the construction process.

[0008] The technical solution to achieve the above object is: a six-point truss sand suction lifting device for a laying ship, comprising a bracket assembly and six groups of working assemblies; the six groups of working assemblies are all slidably connected to the bracket assembly;

[0009] The working assembly comprises a moving assembly, a sand suction assembly and a lifting assembly; the sand suction assembly and the lifting assembly are both connected to the moving assembly and move and work through the moving assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the bracket assembly includes two main beams, each of the two ends of the main beam is connected to a main frame leg, a camera is installed on each main frame leg, and two auxiliary beams are connected between every two left and right main frame legs; the moving assembly is slidably connected to the two main beams; the auxiliary beams are connected to a hydraulic pump station, a frequency conversion cabinet and a driver's cab.

[0012] Preferably, the extension component includes a folding arm, one end of the folding arm is rotatably connected to the longitudinal walking beam, the upper end face of the other end of the folding arm is connected to a rope body, the other end of the rope body is connected to a folding arm winch, and the folding arm winch is arranged on the main beam; a limit switch and a camera are provided at the front end of the folding arm.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is connected to the transverse walking mechanism; the lifting mechanism is provided with an encoder and a weight sensor.

[0014] Preferably, the sand suction assembly is connected to the side wall of one end of the longitudinal walking beam; the sand suction assembly includes a mechanical arm, one end of the mechanical arm is rotatably connected to the longitudinal walking beam, the end of the mechanical arm close to the longitudinal walking beam is connected to the main arm oil cylinder, the middle of the mechanical arm is connected to the auxiliary arm oil cylinder, the other end of the mechanical arm is connected to the flushing nozzle oil cylinder and the sand suction pump, the flushing nozzle oil cylinder is connected to the flushing nozzle; the sand suction pump is connected to a mud and water pipe; a plurality of angle sensors are connected to the mechanical arm; and a discharge pressure sensor is connected to the outlet pipeline of the sand suction pump.

[0015] Preferably, the driver's cab is respectively provided with an operation console, a video monitoring display, a data acquisition alarm and control system display, a longitudinal walking mechanism stepless speed regulation control handle, a lifting mechanism and a transverse walking mechanism stepless speed regulation control handle, a walking mechanism single action / linkage selection switch, a mechanical arm control handle, a folding arm control knob, a sand suction pump flushing pump start speed regulation knob and a flushing nozzle control handle.

[0016] A method for using a six-point truss sand suction lifting device of a laying ship comprises the following steps:

[0017] Concrete interlocking plate lifting and hoisting:

[0018] Step 1: The transport ship equipped with concrete interlocking pieces moves to the port side of the laying ship;

[0019] Step 2: The operator uses the folding arm control knob to level the folding arms on both sides. During the lowering process, the signal from the limit switch is fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display to display the alarm and status, and the control system takes automatic stop protection;

[0020] Step 3: The operator operates the stepless speed control handle of the longitudinal walking mechanism to control the longitudinal walking beam and the transverse walking mechanism at the same time, and moves the transverse walking mechanism to be just above the concrete chain of the transport ship; the stroke, speed and real-time position during the movement are collected by the encoder, and the control system calculates and feeds back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display. The operator can observe its operating status, speed and position information in real time. When the longitudinal walking beam and the transverse walking mechanism are close to their specified movement stroke, the control system performs pre-deceleration and stop protection through the encoder and limit switch;

[0021] Step 4: When the lifting mechanism reaches the position above the target concrete chain piece on the transport ship, the lifting mechanism is operated by the stepless speed control handle of the longitudinal walking mechanism. The operator lowers the hook to a reasonable height by observing the encoder height information collected by the data acquisition alarm and control system display. After all mechanisms are in place, the operator records and saves the current longitudinal walking beam, transverse walking mechanism and lifting mechanism stroke and height through the data acquisition alarm and control system display interface.

[0022] Step 5: When the hook on the lifting mechanism reaches the target height, the on-site worker hangs the concrete chain ring on the hook. The operator can transmit the real-time on-site image collected by the camera to the data acquisition alarm and control system display for observation. The next step can only be carried out after all personnel have evacuated.

[0023] Step 6: When the concrete interlocking pieces are hooked, the operator can set the size of the actual arrangement and the number of concrete interlocking pieces to be placed through the data acquisition alarm and control system display. The system automatically arranges and displays the concrete interlocking pieces to be transported to the target position above the arrangement already laid by the ship based on the input parameters;

[0024] Step 7: The operator uses the stepless speed control handle of the longitudinal walking mechanism to lift the weight to a certain height. When the concrete interlocking piece leaves the ground, the data measured by the weight sensor is transmitted to the data acquisition alarm and control system display for the operator to observe. The control system determines the maximum speed that the horizontal walking mechanism can travel and limits it according to the design requirements and the data fed back by the weight sensor to prevent equipment failure and safety accidents caused by excessive speed.

[0025] Step 8: When the concrete interlocking piece is hoisted to a certain height, the operator can hoist the concrete interlocking piece to the target position in two ways:

[0026] 1. The operator selects the travel mechanism single-action / linked selection switch. When linked, the operator can simultaneously control the longitudinal travel beam, transverse travel mechanism, and lifting mechanism by manipulating the longitudinal travel mechanism stepless speed control handle and the lifting mechanism and transverse travel mechanism stepless speed control handles. The operator observes the real-time position and speed of the concrete interlocking piece by observing the real-time position and speed collected by each encoder and fed back to the data acquisition, alarm, and control system display. The on-site situation monitored by the camera is transmitted to the video surveillance display to observe the real-time position of the concrete interlocking piece until it is lowered to the set target position. After the concrete interlocking piece is hoisted to the target position, the on-site workers unhook it. The operator confirms the unhooking on the video surveillance display. After the workers evacuate to a safe location, the operator reverses the original operation process and moves the longitudinal travel beam, transverse travel mechanism, and lifting mechanism to the target lifting position on the barge. During the operation, if the concrete interlocking piece fails to move according to the target path and position due to unsafe behavior or error by the operator, or if the equipment malfunctions, the data acquisition, alarm, and control system display will use the data or signals fed back by the frequency converter cabinet, each encoder, and each limit switch to display an alarm and provide protection to prevent safety accidents.

[0027] Second, the operator selects the automatic mode on the data acquisition alarm and control system display and clicks to start automatic lifting. The control system will automatically control the longitudinal walking beam, transverse walking mechanism, and lifting mechanism based on the target position set in step 6 and the feedback information from each sensor to lift the concrete interlocking piece to the target position. After reaching the target position, the on-site workers will unhook it. After unhooking is completed and the workers have retreated to a safe point, the operator clicks the one-key return button on the interface. The control system will automatically return each mechanism to the lifting position based on the lifting position and height recorded in step 4 for the next round of lifting.

[0028] Sand blasting operation:

[0029] Step 1: Start the hydraulic pump of the hydraulic pump station through the data acquisition alarm and control system display interface. The hydraulic pump station has low liquid level, high oil temperature, and oil pressure measurement sensors, and feeds back signals to the data acquisition alarm and control system display interface to display data and alarms, and is protected by the control system;

[0030] Step 2: Operate the manipulator control handle to control the main arm cylinder and auxiliary arm cylinder on multiple manipulators to lower the sand suction pump to the sand surface in the transport cabin. The real-time angle measured by the angle sensor is fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display interface for display. The control system alarms and provides protection for the maximum and minimum angles according to the design requirements of the manipulator, which can prevent damage to the equipment caused by excessive or insufficient angles due to human error.

[0031] Step 3: Start the flushing pump by turning the speed control knob of the sand suction pump and adjust it to the required flow rate and discharge pressure. Water is sprayed out from the flushing nozzle to flush the sand surface. The flushing nozzle cylinder is adjusted by manipulating the flushing nozzle control handle to make the flushing nozzle spray to the desired target position and flush out a mortar pit on the sand surface.

[0032] Step 4: Operate the control handle of the robotic arm to adjust the main arm cylinder and the auxiliary arm cylinder to lower the suction port of the sand suction pump into the mortar pit;

[0033] Step 5: Adjust the speed knob of the sand suction pump and flushing pump to the required speed. The sand suction pump will run at the speed set by the knob.

[0034] Step six: the sucked mortar is discharged into the sand bags or sand ribs laid on the deck through the mud pipe. During the sand suction process, the operator can observe the data fed back by the discharge pressure sensor to the display interface of the data acquisition alarm and control system. The discharge pressure display value can be used to determine whether the sand suction pump is in the state of suction or blocked. During the sand suction process, the flushing pump start speed knob can be adjusted to control the output flow of the flushing pump to keep the mortar at a certain concentration, and the spray position of the flushing nozzle can be adjusted to flush the surrounding sand to the suction port of the sand suction pump.

[0035] Step 7: After the sand is sucked out, follow the above process in reverse order to retract the robotic arm to its original position to complete the sand blasting operation.

[0036] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the six-point truss sand suction hoisting device for the laying ship integrates the equipment hardware required for two different construction processes, lifting and sand suction and filling, into the six-point truss sand suction hoisting device, and is combined with a centralized monitoring, alarm, visual acquisition and automatic control system that can measure and display in real time. It can help operators understand and accurately grasp the position information, posture, operating status and construction data of each device during the construction of interlocking blocks and sand suction and filling in real time, provide alarm and protection functions during equipment operation, and meet the needs of operators to control multiple devices simultaneously through data monitoring and automatic control systems to perform operations, thereby minimizing the labor intensity and labor costs of operators and effectively improving the medium-precision control, safety performance and construction efficiency of the construction process.

Operators can control multiple devices simultaneously through data monitoring and automatic control systems, minimize the operator's labor intensity and labor costs, and effectively improve the precision control, safety performance and construction efficiency of the construction process.

[0058] A method for using a six-point truss sand suction lifting device of a laying ship comprises the following steps:

[0059] Concrete interlocking plate lifting and hoisting:

[0060] Step 1: The transport ship equipped with concrete interlocking pieces moves to the port side of the laying ship;

[0061] Step 2; the operator folds the arms 8 on both sides flat by turning the folding arm control knob 35. During the lowering process, the signal from the limit switch 10 is fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 to display the alarm and status, and the control system automatically stops the protection;

[0062] Step three; the operator operates the stepless speed control handle 33 of the longitudinal walking mechanism to simultaneously control the six longitudinal walking beams 17 and the transverse walking mechanism 6, and moves the transverse walking mechanism 6 to the top of the concrete chain of the transport ship; the stroke, speed and real-time position during the movement are collected by the encoder 12, and then calculated and fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 through the control system. The operator can observe its operating status, speed and position information in real time. When the longitudinal walking beam 17 and the transverse walking mechanism 6 are close to their specified action stroke, the control system performs pre-deceleration and stop protection through the encoder 12 and the limit switch 10;

[0063] Step 4: When the lifting mechanism 4 reaches the target concrete chain position on the transport ship, the lifting mechanism 4 is operated by the stepless speed control handle 33 of the longitudinal walking mechanism. The operator lowers the hook to a reasonable height by observing the height information of the encoder 12 collected by the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32. After each mechanism is in place, the operator operates the current longitudinal walking beam 17, the transverse walking mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 4 through the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 interface to record and save the stroke and height of the lifting mechanism 4 with one click.

[0064] Step five: When the hook on the lifting mechanism 4 reaches the target height, the on-site workers will hang the concrete chain ring to the hook, and the operator can transmit the real-time picture collected by the camera 11 to the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 for observation to ensure that all personnel are evacuated before the next step can be carried out;

[0065] Step six: When the concrete chain piece is hooked, the operator can set the size of the concrete chain piece according to the actual arrangement and the number of concrete chain pieces to be placed through the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32. The system automatically arranges the concrete chain piece according to the input parameters and displays the target position above the arrangement of the concrete chain piece to be transported to the ship;

[0066] Step seven; the operator lifts the weight to a certain height through the stepless speed control handle 33 of the longitudinal walking mechanism. When the concrete chain piece is off the ground, the data measured by the weight sensor 19 is transmitted to the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 for the operator to observe. The control system determines the maximum speed at which the transverse walking mechanism 6 can travel and limits it according to the design requirements and the data fed back by the weight sensor 19 to prevent equipment failure and safety accidents caused by excessive speed;

[0067] Step 8: When the concrete interlocking piece is hoisted to a certain height, the operator can hoist the concrete interlocking piece to the target position in two ways:

[0068] 1. The operator selects the travel mechanism single action / linkage selection switch 30. When linkage is selected, the operator can simultaneously control the six longitudinal travel beams 17, the transverse travel mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 4 by operating the longitudinal travel mechanism stepless speed control handle 33 and the lifting mechanism and transverse travel mechanism stepless speed control handle 39. The operator observes the real-time position and speed collected by the encoder 12 at each position and fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32, and the on-site situation monitored by the camera 11 is transmitted to the video monitoring display 31 to observe the real-time position of the concrete interlocking piece until it is lowered to the set target position; the concrete interlocking piece After the lifting reaches the target position, the on-site workers unhook it, and the operator confirms whether the unhook has been completed through the video monitoring display 31. After the workers evacuate to a safe position, the operator moves the longitudinal walking beam 17, the transverse walking mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 4 to the target lifting position of the barge according to the original operation process in reverse. During the operation, if the concrete interlocking piece fails to move according to the target path and position due to unsafe behavior or error of the operator, or if the equipment fails, the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 will use the data or signals fed back by the frequency converter cabinet 18, each encoder 12 and each limit switch 10 to display an alarm and provide protection to prevent safety accidents.

[0069] 2. The operator selects the automatic mode through the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 interface and clicks to start one-key automatic lifting. The control system will automatically control the longitudinal walking beam 17, the transverse walking mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 4 according to the target position set in step 6 through the feedback information of each sensor to lift the concrete chain piece to the target position. After reaching the target position, the on-site workers will unhook it. After the unhook is completed and the workers have retreated to a safe point, the operator clicks the one-key return button through the interface. The control system will automatically return each mechanism to the lifting position according to the lifting position and height recorded in step 4 for the next round of lifting.

[0070] Sand blasting operation:

[0071] Step 1: Start the hydraulic pump of the hydraulic pump station 13 through the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 interface. The hydraulic pump station 13 has low liquid level, high oil temperature, and oil pressure measurement sensors, and feeds back signals to the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 interface to display data and alarms, and is protected by the control system;

[0072] Step 2: Operate the manipulator control handle 34 to control the main arm oil cylinder 46 and the auxiliary arm oil cylinder 47 on the multiple manipulators 2 to lower the sand suction pump 45 to the sand surface in the transport cabin. The real-time angle measured by the angle sensor 43 is fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 for display. The control system alarms and provides protection for the maximum and minimum angles according to the design requirements of the manipulator, thereby preventing damage to the equipment caused by excessive or insufficient angles due to human error.

[0073] Step 3: Start the flushing pump by turning the sand suction pump speed knob 36 and adjust it to the required flow rate and discharge pressure. Water is ejected from the flushing nozzle 49 to flush the sand surface. The flushing nozzle cylinder 48 is adjusted by manipulating the flushing nozzle control handle 37 to make the flushing nozzle 49 spray toward the target position and flush out a mortar pit on the sand surface.

[0074] Step 4: Operate the manipulator arm control handle 34 to adjust the main arm cylinder 46 and the auxiliary arm cylinder 47 to lower the suction port of the sand suction pump 45 into the mortar pit;

[0075] Step 5: Adjust the sand suction pump speed knob 36 to the desired speed, and the sand suction pump 45 runs according to the speed set by the knob;

[0076] Step six, the sucked mortar is discharged into the sand bags or sand ribs laid on the deck through the mud pipe 51. During the sand suction process, the operator can observe the data fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display 32 interface through the discharge pressure sensor 44, and judge whether the sand suction pump 45 is in the state of empty suction or blocked pump by the discharge pressure display value; during the sand suction process, when empty suction or blocked pump occurs, the sand suction pump speed control knob 36 can be adjusted to control the output flow of the flushing pump to keep the mortar at a certain concentration, and the spray position of the flushing nozzle 49 can be adjusted to flush the surrounding sand to the suction port of the sand suction pump 45. The suction port of the sand suction pump 45 can be adjusted by adjusting the main arm oil cylinder 46 and the auxiliary arm oil cylinder 47 to ensure the normal operation of the sand suction pump 45. When the amount of sand at the suction port of the sand suction pump 45 is too low, the suction port position of the sand suction pump 45 can be adjusted by adjusting the main arm cylinder 46, the auxiliary arm cylinder 47, and the longitudinal travel mechanism 3 of the lifting device to ensure the efficiency of the sand suction pump. During the sand suction process, the flushing nozzle 49 can be adjusted in real time to flush the sand near the suction port to the suction port position. The scanning positions of the mechanical arm 2, the suction port of the sand suction pump 45, and the flushing nozzle 49 can be observed in real time on the data acquisition, alarm, and control system display 32. The operator can control the above equipment based on the observed real-time monitoring screen.

[0077] Step 7: After the sand is sucked out, follow the reverse process to retract the robot arm 2 to its original position to complete the sand blasting operation.

[0078] The laying vessel is equipped with a six-point truss sand suction lifting device. Two operators can operate the walking mechanisms at the same time to lift six concrete interlocking pieces at a time according to needs, thereby increasing lifting efficiency and saving labor costs. Two operators can control six robotic arms at the same time according to needs, and remotely control the mud pump to improve the efficiency of sand suction and flushing and save labor costs. Operators can observe the on-site situation in real time through the visual acquisition system, reducing labor costs and improving the safety factor. The measurement and display system can improve the equipment control accuracy, prevent accidents caused by operator errors and equipment failures, and improve the safety factor from the perspective of inherent safety. The control system can select six truss lifting devices for automatic lifting, and achieve precise lifting according to the preset position.

During the lowering process, the signal of the limit switch (10) is fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32), which displays the alarm and status, and automatically stops the protection by means of the control system; Step 3: The operator operates the stepless speed control handle (33) of the longitudinal walking mechanism to control the six longitudinal walking beams (17) and the transverse walking mechanism (6) at the same time, and moves the transverse walking mechanism (6) to the top of the concrete chain of the transport ship; the stroke, speed and real-time position during the movement are collected by the encoder (12), and the control system calculates and feeds back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32). The operator can observe its operating status, speed and position information in real time. When the longitudinal walking beam (17) and the transverse walking mechanism (6) are close to their specified action stroke, the control system performs pre-deceleration and stop protection through the encoder (12) and the limit switch (10); Step 4: When the lifting mechanism (4) reaches the position above the target concrete chain piece on the transport ship, the lifting mechanism (4) is operated by the stepless speed control handle (33) of the longitudinal walking mechanism, and the operator lowers the hook to a reasonable height by observing the height information of the encoder (12) collected by the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32). After all the mechanisms are in place, the operator records and saves the current stroke and height of the longitudinal walking beam (17), the transverse walking mechanism (6) and the lifting mechanism (4) through the interface of the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32); Step 5: When the hook on the lifting mechanism (4) reaches the target height, the on-site workers hang the concrete chain ring on the hook, and the operator can transmit the real-time on-site image collected by the camera (11) to the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) for observation, ensuring that all personnel are evacuated before the next step can be carried out; Step 6: When the concrete chain piece is hooked, the operator can set it according to the actual size of the arrangement and the number of concrete chain pieces to be placed through the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32). The system automatically arranges and displays the concrete chain pieces required to be transported to the target position above the arrangement already laid by the ship according to the input parameters; Step 7: The operator lifts the weight to a certain height through the stepless speed control handle (33) of the longitudinal walking mechanism. When the concrete chain piece is off the ground, the data measured by the weight sensor (19) is transmitted to the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) for the operator to observe. The control system determines the maximum speed that the transverse walking mechanism (6) can travel and limits it according to the design requirements and the data fed back by the weight sensor (19) to prevent equipment failure and safety accidents caused by excessive speed. Step 8: When the concrete interlocking piece is hoisted to a certain height, the operator can hoist the concrete interlocking piece to the target position in two ways:

1. The operator selects the single-action / linkage selection switch (30) of the traveling mechanism. When linkage is selected, the operator can simultaneously control the six longitudinal traveling beams (17), the transverse traveling mechanism (6) and the lifting mechanism (4) by operating the stepless speed control handle (33) of the longitudinal traveling mechanism and the stepless speed control handle (39) of the lifting mechanism and the transverse traveling mechanism. The operator observes the real-time position and speed collected by the encoder (12) at each position and feeds them back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) and the on-site situation monitored by the camera (11) and transmitted to the video monitoring display (31) to observe the real-time position of the concrete chain until it is lowered to the set target position; After the locking piece is hoisted to the target position, the on-site workers unhook it, and the operator confirms whether it has been unhooked through the video monitoring display (31). After the workers evacuate to a safe position, the operator moves the longitudinal walking beam (17), the transverse walking mechanism (6) and the lifting mechanism (4) to the target lifting position of the barge according to the original operation process in reverse. During the operation, if the concrete locking piece does not move according to the target path and position due to unsafe behavior or mistakes of the operator or if the equipment fails, the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) will use the data or signals fed back by the frequency conversion cabinet (18), each encoder (12) and each limit switch (10) to perform alarm display and protection to prevent safety accidents from occurring; 2. The operator selects the automatic mode through the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) interface, clicks to start automatic lifting, and the control system automatically controls the longitudinal walking beam (17), the transverse walking mechanism (6) and the lifting mechanism (4) according to the target position set in step 6 through the feedback information of each sensor, and lifts the concrete chain piece to the target position. After reaching the target position, the on-site workers unhook it; after the unhook is completed and the workers retreat to a safe point, the operator clicks the one-key return button through the interface, and the control system automatically returns each mechanism to the lifting position according to the lifting position and height recorded in step 4, and performs the next round of lifting; Sand blasting operation: Step 1: start the hydraulic pump of the hydraulic pump station (13) through the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) interface. The hydraulic pump station (13) has low liquid level, high oil temperature, and oil pressure measurement sensors, and feeds back signals to the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) interface to display data and alarms, and is protected by the control system; Step 2: operate the manipulator control handle (34) to control the main arm oil cylinder (46) and the auxiliary arm oil cylinder (47) on the multiple manipulators (2) to lower the sand suction pump (45) to the sand surface in the transport cabin. The real-time angle measured by the angle sensor (43) is fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) interface for display. The control system alarms and provides protection for the maximum and minimum angles according to the design requirements of the manipulator, thereby preventing damage to the equipment caused by excessive or insufficient angles due to human operation errors. Step 3: Start the flushing pump by turning the speed knob (36) of the sand suction pump and adjust it to the required flow rate and discharge pressure. Water is ejected from the flushing nozzle (49) to flush the sand surface. The flushing nozzle oil cylinder (48) is adjusted by manipulating the flushing nozzle control handle (37) to make the flushing nozzle (49) spray toward the desired target position and flush out a mortar pit on the sand surface. Step 4: operate the mechanical arm control handle (34) to adjust the main arm oil cylinder (46) and the auxiliary arm oil cylinder (47) to lower the suction port of the sand suction pump (45) into the mortar pit; Step 5: Adjust the speed knob (36) of the sand suction pump to the desired speed, and the sand suction pump (45) runs according to the speed set by the knob; Step 6: The sucked mortar is discharged into the sand bags or sand ribs laid on the deck through the mud and water pipe (51). During the sand suction process, the operator can observe the data fed back to the data acquisition alarm and control system display (32) by the discharge pressure sensor (44). The discharge pressure display value can be used to determine whether the sand suction pump (45) is in the state of suction or blocked. During the sand suction process, the sand suction pump speed knob (36) can be adjusted to control the output flow of the flushing pump to keep the mortar at a certain concentration, and the flushing nozzle (49) spray position can be adjusted to flush the surrounding sand to the suction port of the sand suction pump (45); Step 7: After the sand is sucked and the speed is completed, the above process is reversed to retract the mechanical arm (2) to the original position to complete the sand blasting operation.
