Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of travel control technology, and in particular to a bridge crane and a travel control method and a travel control device thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of bridge crane travel control, existing travel control methods, such as patent CN114108478B, which discloses a steel box girder combined bridge crane anchor system and travel method, mainly rely on simple mechanical operation steps, specifically, first lift the bridge crane bracket, and use the travel push cylinder to push the bridge crane bracket forward to slide; when walking to the lifting operation position, check the track anchoring status, and then adjust the bridge crane bracket. The entire walking operation process does not involve precise control of walking. In addition, patent CN117800231A discloses a multifunctional intelligent bridge crane and control method. Although it provides a more detailed walking operation step and controls it through the pressure and stroke sensor data of the walking cylinder, this method still faces challenges in achieving the synchronous walking of the crane body on different guide rails.

[0003] Large bridge cranes usually have at least two parallel guide rails, and their movement depends on the positioning of the ratchet by the slots on the guide rails. Due to processing errors, installation accuracy, and possible front-to-back misalignment of the guide rails after movement, it is difficult to keep the slots on different guide rails aligned, which makes the synchronous movement of the crane body on different guide rails complicated. It is difficult to simply collect data from the walking cylinders to achieve synchronous control of the crane body on different guide rails. When the crane body moves out of sync on different guide rails, it will cause the crane body to be pulled on different guide rails, which will not only affect the stability of the entire crane body structure and the safety of the crane body's movement, but may also cause the crane body to get stuck.

[0004] With the rapid development of image analysis technology, its application in many fields is becoming more and more extensive. For example, in the field of bridge construction, image recognition technology has gradually been applied to construction safety monitoring, stability assessment, precision control, and structural lifting and assembly. For example, patent CN114753256B discloses a machine vision-based steel beam lifting monitoring system and method, which collects and analyzes target information through industrial cameras, realizes precise control of bridge cranes, and provides technical support for the precise splicing of beam sections.

[0005] In view of the potential of image analysis technology in improving the accuracy and safety of bridge construction, it has become a trend to apply it to the field of bridge crane travel control to solve the limitations of existing technologies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0056] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bridge crane 1 in one embodiment of the present application can at least improve the reliability and safety of the bridge crane 1 during the traveling process. Specifically, the bridge crane 1 includes a crane body 10, a track 20, a traveling drive mechanism 30 and a traveling control device 40 (such as Fig. 9As shown). The track 20 is arranged below the crane body 10, one end of the travel drive mechanism 30 is movably arranged on the track 20, and the other end is rotatably connected to the crane body 10, and the travel drive mechanism 30 is used to drive the track 20 and the crane body 10 to move relative to each other. The travel drive mechanism 30 is electrically connected to the travel control device 40, and the travel control device 40 is used to control the driving speed of the travel drive mechanism 30.

[0057] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the travel drive mechanism 30 includes a travel drive member 301 and a reversing assembly 302. One end of the travel drive member 301 is rotatably connected to the reversing assembly 302, and the other end is rotatably connected to the crane body 10. The reversing assembly 302 can switch between the track travel mode and the crane body travel mode. Specifically, the bridge deck crane 1 also includes a sliding mechanism 50, which is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the crane body 10, and the sliding mechanism 50 is slidably connected to the track 20. The other end of the travel drive member 301 is rotatably connected to the front sliding mechanism 50.

[0058] The crane body 10 is slidably connected to the track 20 through the sliding mechanism 50, and the reversing assembly 302 is controlled to switch to the track travel mode, and the travel drive 301 drives the track 20 to move along the forward direction until the track 20 moves into place. Then the reversing assembly 302 is controlled to switch to the crane body travel mode, and the travel drive 301 drives the crane body 10 to move on the track 20, ensuring that the crane body 10 can effectively move along the forward direction until the crane body 10 moves into place.

[0059] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, along the length direction of the track 20, a plurality of slots 210 are provided on the track 20 at intervals. Specifically, along the length direction of the track 20, the plurality of slots 210 on the track 20 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0060] In one embodiment, the reversing assembly 302 includes a reversing ratchet block 310, a sliding bracket 320 and a reversing drive unit 330. One end of the travel drive member 301 is rotatably connected to the sliding bracket 320. The reversing ratchet block 310 is rotatably disposed on the sliding bracket 320. The reversing ratchet block 310 can be inserted into the card slot 210. The reversing drive unit 330 is disposed on the sliding bracket 320. The reversing drive unit 330 is used to control the reversing ratchet block 310 to switch between forward rotation and reverse rotation, so as to realize the switching of the travel drive mechanism 30 between the track travel mode and the crane body travel mode.

[0061] See also Figures 5 to 8In this embodiment, the sliding bracket 320 is provided with a first insertion hole 321 and a second insertion hole 322 spaced apart from the first insertion hole 321. When the reversing ratchet block 310 is inserted into the card slot 210, the reversing ratchet block 310 is located between the first insertion hole 321 and the second insertion hole 322. Figure 5 As shown, when the reversing ratchet block 310 can rotate toward the direction of the first socket 321, the travel drive mechanism 30 is in the crane body travel mode; when the reversing ratchet block 310 can rotate toward the direction of the second socket 322, the travel drive mechanism 30 is in the track travel mode.

[0062] Specifically, the reversing drive unit 330 includes a first latch 331, a second latch 332, a reversing power source 333 and a linkage 334. The first latch 331 is located opposite to the first plug hole 321, the second latch 332 is located opposite to the second plug hole 322, the first latch 331 and the second latch 332 are both connected to the linkage 334, and the reversing power source 333 is used to drive the linkage 334 to move back and forth, so as to drive the first latch 331 to be inserted into the first plug hole 321 and the second latch 332 to be inserted into the second plug hole 322 alternately. When the first latch 331 can be inserted into one side of the reversing ratchet block 310, the reversing ratchet block 310 can be restricted from rotating in the direction of the first latch 331; when the second latch 332 can be inserted into the other side of the reversing ratchet block 310, the reversing ratchet block 310 can be restricted from rotating in the direction of the second latch 332.

[0063] The first plug 331 and the second plug 332 can be moved synchronously by the reversing power source 333 and the linkage member 334, so that the first plug 331 is inserted into the first plug hole 321 and the second plug 332 is inserted into the second plug hole 322 alternately at the same time. Figure 5 As shown, when the first pin 331 is inserted into the first plug hole 321, the reversing ratchet block 310 is restricted to rotate counterclockwise, and the travel drive mechanism 30 is in the track travel mode; when the second pin 332 is inserted into the second plug hole 322, the reversing ratchet block 310 is restricted to rotate clockwise, and the travel drive mechanism 30 is in the crane body travel mode. Through the cooperation of the reversing power source 333 and the linkage 334, the automatic switching of the travel mode is realized, avoiding manual operation switching.

[0064] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, further, one end of the first latch 331 facing away from the second latch 332 and one end of the second latch 332 facing away from the first latch 331 are both connected to the linkage 334. Among them, the reversing power source 333 and the linkage 334 are both located above the first latch 331 and the second latch 332. Since it is necessary to control the first latch 331 to be inserted into the first plug hole 321 or the second latch 332 to be inserted into the second plug hole 322 at different times, the sliding bracket 320 is to be slidably arranged on the track 20, and thus the space of the sliding bracket 320 in the horizontal direction is limited. If the size of the sliding bracket 320 is increased in the horizontal direction, it may cause the sliding bracket 320 to be subjected to unbalanced force on the track 20, affecting the stability of the sliding. Therefore, the reversing power source 333 and the linkage 334 are arranged above the first latch 331 and the second latch 332, so as to avoid increasing the lateral size of the sliding bracket 320, and make the structure of the reversing assembly 302 more compact.

[0065] In one embodiment, the linkage member 334 includes a movable cam 3341 and a linkage body 3342, the first latch 331 and the second latch 332 are respectively connected to the linkage body 3342; an active cavity 3343 is formed in the linkage body 3342, the movable cam 3341 is arranged in the active cavity 3343, and the reversing power source 333 is used to drive the movable cam 3341 to rotate in the active cavity 3343 to push the linkage body 3342 to slide along the axis direction of the first latch 331 and the second latch 332 on the sliding bracket 320. When the movable cam 3341 is driven to rotate by the reversing power source 333, the sliding bracket 320 is used to limit the rotation of the linkage body 3342, so that the linkage body 3342 can only slide along the axis direction of the first latch 331 and the second latch 332 under the action of the movable cam 3341, so as to achieve the purpose of inserting the first latch 331 into the first plug hole 321 or the second latch 332 into the second plug hole 322. By providing the movable cam 3341 and the linkage body 3342, the first plug 331 can be inserted into the first plug hole 321 or the second plug 332 can be inserted into the second plug hole 322 alternately by only driving the movable cam 3341 to rotate in one direction, and the driving process is convenient and reliable.

[0066] Specifically, a sliding groove 323 is formed on the sliding bracket 320, and the linkage body 3342 is disposed in the sliding groove 323 and can move in the sliding groove 323 along the axis direction of the first latch 331 and the second latch 332. By providing the sliding groove 323, the movable direction of the linkage body 3342 can be more stably limited, ensuring that the first latch 331 can be more stably inserted into the first plug hole 321 or the second latch 332 can be more stably inserted into the second plug hole 322.

[0067] Specifically, the linkage member 334 further includes two connecting parts 3344. The first latch 331 and the second latch 332 are both located below the linkage body 3342. One end of the first latch 331 facing away from the second latch 332 and one end of the second latch 332 facing away from the first latch 331 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the linkage body 3342 through the two connecting parts 3344. The connecting parts 3344 facilitate the connection between the first latch 331 and the second latch 332 and the linkage body 3342, and at the same time, facilitate the arrangement of the first latch 331 and the second latch 332 below the linkage body 3342, thereby improving the compactness of the structure and avoiding affecting the walking stability.

[0068] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the number of the tracks 20 is at least two, and each track 20 is arranged in parallel and spaced relationship below the crane body 10; the number of the travel drive mechanisms 30 is two, and the two travel drive mechanisms 30 are movably arranged on the two tracks 20 respectively. The bridge deck crane 1 also includes two image acquisition devices 70, which are respectively mounted on the crane body 10, and the two image acquisition devices 70 are respectively located on the two tracks 20, and the two image acquisition devices 70 are respectively used to acquire images of the two tracks 20; the two image acquisition devices 70 are both electrically connected to the travel control device 40, and the image acquisition devices 70 are used to transmit the acquired images of the tracks 20 to the travel control device 40, and the travel control device 40 is used to control the driving speed of the two travel drive mechanisms 30 according to the images acquired by the image acquisition devices 70.

[0069] During the movement of the crane body 10, since the crane body 10 needs to move synchronously on at least two tracks 20, at least two travel drive mechanisms 30 need to be driven synchronously. During the movement, two image acquisition devices 70 are used to simultaneously obtain the current position images of the two tracks 20; the marking elements in the current position images of the two tracks 20 are respectively identified; the current offset difference between the positions of the marking elements in the two current position images is compared to determine the travel distance difference of the two travel drive mechanisms 30; by comparing the positions of the marking elements on the two tracks 20, the synchronization of the crane body 10 on the two tracks 20 can be determined, so after adjusting the travel speed of the two travel drive mechanisms 30 that drive the crane body 10 to move according to the travel distance difference, return to the step of obtaining the current position images of the two tracks 20 until the crane body 10 moves in place. The above-mentioned bridge crane 1 can ensure that the speed of the crane body 10 walking on different tracks 20 is matched, avoid walking too fast or too slow on one side of the track 20, reduce the internal force unevenness of the crane body 10, and thus ensure the stability of the entire crane body 10 structure and the safety of the crane body 10 walking during the walking process.

[0070] In this embodiment, there are two tracks 20. In other embodiments, the number of tracks 20 may be three, four, or other numbers, and the two image acquisition devices 70 may only acquire images of two of the tracks 20.

[0071] In one embodiment, the bridge crane 1 further includes a leg mechanism 80, which is telescopically arranged at the bottom of the crane body 10. When the track 20 needs to be moved, the leg mechanism 80 can be driven to prop up the crane body 10 to prevent the gravity of the crane body 10 from being applied to the track 20 through the sliding mechanism 50, thereby affecting the movement of the track 20. Specifically, the number of the leg mechanisms 80 is at least two, wherein the two leg mechanisms 80 are respectively located on the outside of the two tracks 20. By using at least two leg mechanisms 80, the reliability of supporting the crane body 10 can be improved.

[0072] In one embodiment, the bridge crane 1 further includes a rear anchoring mechanism 90, which is arranged at the bottom of the crane body 10 and behind the sliding mechanism 50, and is used to anchor on the bridge deck. The rear anchoring mechanism 90 can improve the reliability of the crane body 10 on the bridge deck.

[0073] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like appear, these terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. If an element is referred to as being "fixed to", "connected to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can be a central element.

[0074] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if there is a description that a first feature is "on" or "under" a second feature, etc., it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

[0075] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 The present application also discloses a travel control method for a bridge crane 1, and the travel control method is applied to the bridge crane 1 in the above embodiment. Specifically, the travel control method includes:

[0076] Control the bridge crane 1 to switch to the track travel mode. Specifically, control the reversing power source 333 to drive the movable cam 3341 to rotate, thereby pushing the linkage body 3342 to move to drive the first latch 331 to withdraw from the first socket 321, while allowing the second latch 332 to be inserted into the first socket 321, and the travel drive mechanism 30 switches to the track travel mode.

[0077] Furthermore, the crane body 10 is controlled to be supported on the bridge deck. The crane body 10 is propped up by the leg mechanism 80 to prevent the gravity of the crane body 10 from being applied to the track 20, so as to facilitate the control of the travel drive mechanism 30 to drive the track 20 to move along the forward direction a. Since the track 20 is now in a state of no positive pressure or less positive pressure, the travel drive member 301 of the travel drive mechanism 30 can more easily drive the track 20 forward.

[0078] The travel drive mechanism 30 is controlled to drive the track 20 to move relative to the crane body 10. Specifically, the travel drive member drives the reversing assembly 302 to continuously extend and retract, thereby continuously driving the track 20 to move step by step in the track travel mode.

[0079] It is determined whether the track 20 is moved to the position; if so, the movement of the travel drive mechanism 30 is stopped, and the crane body 10 is controlled to be placed on the track 20. Specifically, the leg mechanism 80 is controlled to lower the crane body 10 to the track 20 so as to facilitate the subsequent driving of the crane body 10 to move on the track 20.

[0080] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In one embodiment, the bridge crane 1 is controlled to switch to the crane body walking mode. Specifically, after the control reversing assembly 302 is switched to the crane body walking mode, the travel drive member 301 is controlled to drive the crane body 10 to move on the track 20. In this embodiment, the reversing power source 333 is continued to be controlled to drive the movable cam 3341 to rotate, thereby pushing the linkage body 3342 to move in the opposite direction to drive the first pin 331 to insert into the first plug hole 321, so that the second pin 332 is withdrawn from the first plug hole 321, and the travel drive mechanism 30 is switched to the crane body walking mode.

[0081] In this embodiment, the walking control method further includes:

[0082] When the crane body 10 is located at the initial position of the track 20, initial position images of the two tracks 20 are acquired respectively;

[0083] The marking elements in the initial position images of the two tracks 20 are respectively identified, and the initial offset differences between the positions of the marking elements in the two initial position images are compared.

[0084] In this embodiment, on each track 20, a plurality of marking points are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the track 20, and each marking point is arranged at equal intervals, and the marking points form a marking element. In other embodiments, the marking points can also be omitted, and a plurality of slots 210210 arranged at intervals and at equal intervals are provided on the track 20. Therefore, the position of the slot 210210 can be identified as a marking element, and there is no need to set a separate marking point on the track 20. Setting the marking point can reduce the difficulty of image processing, and directly identifying the slot 210210 as a marking element can avoid adding a process for setting the marking point.

[0085] Step S1: When the bridge crane 1 is in the crane body walking mode, the current position images of the two tracks 20 are simultaneously acquired. Specifically, the current position images of the two tracks 20 are acquired by two image acquisition devices 70, so as to control the operation of the walking drive mechanism 30 by analyzing the images later.

[0086] Step S2: Identify the marking elements in the current position images of the two tracks 20 respectively.

[0087] Step S3: comparing the current offset difference between the positions of the marking elements in the two current position images to determine the travel distance difference of the two travel drive mechanisms 30 .

[0088] In this embodiment, the current offset difference is calibrated with the initial offset difference to determine the travel distance difference of the two travel drive mechanisms 30. By identifying the marking elements in the initial position image of the track 20 at the initial position, an initial reference can be provided for the marking elements in the current position image of the track 20 obtained during walking, thereby facilitating the calibration of the marking elements in the subsequently identified images and improving the accuracy of determining the travel distance difference of the two travel drive mechanisms 30.

[0089] In this embodiment, the walking method further includes:

[0090] Determining whether the current offset difference is greater than or equal to a preset difference;

[0091] Step S4: If yes, then adjust the travel speeds of the two travel drive mechanisms 30 that drive the crane body 10 to travel according to the travel distance difference, and then return to step S1 until the crane body 10 moves to the right position.

[0092] When the crane body 10 is driven to move on two tracks 20 by two travel drive mechanisms 30, when the driving speed of the travel drive mechanism 30 on one track 20 is greater than or less than that of the travel drive mechanism 30 on the other track 20, or the two travel drive mechanisms 30 are not in step with each other, then the forward position of the crane body 10 on the two tracks 20 will be inconsistent, and the current offset difference of the marking elements on the two tracks 20 finally identified will be greater than or equal to the preset difference. At this time, it is necessary to increase or decrease the driving speed of one of the travel drive mechanisms 30 according to the size of the current offset difference and the positive and negative of the current offset difference, so as to make the forward position of the crane body 10 on the two tracks 20 consistent, and ensure the stability of the structure of the crane body 10 and the safety of the crane body 10 during its movement.

[0093] In this embodiment, the initial position image of the track 20 is obtained, and then the following steps are further included:

[0094] Step S5: fitting the outer contour of the track 20 according to the initial position image and the preset walking direction of the crane body 10. The fitting outer contour of the track 20 obtained by fitting can provide a reference comparison for the track 20 image obtained after the crane body 10 actually walks on the track 20, so as to facilitate the judgment of whether walking deflection or offset occurs during the actual walking.

[0095] Specifically, the method for fitting the outer contour includes:

[0096] After grayscale processing is performed on the initial position image, Gaussian filtering is used to reduce noise on the initial position image. Grayscale processing can reduce the amount of image data to be processed, which helps to simplify subsequent image processing steps. By applying a Gaussian filter for noise reduction, the image can be smoothed and random noise in the image can be reduced, while retaining the edge information of the image as much as possible.

[0097] The denoised initial position image after Gaussian filtering is binarized to simplify the image so that the image contains only two colors with extremely high contrast, which is convenient for subsequent recognition and processing to obtain the contour image of the track 20.

[0098] The connected contour function is used to draw the track 20 contours in the initial position image to form the initial position contour; for example, the findContours function is used to draw the track 20 contours in the initial position image to form the initial position contour. Through the algorithm for finding contours, the connected areas in the image can be identified, and the contours of these areas can be returned to draw the track 20 contours.

[0099] In the preset walking direction of the crane body 10 , a straight line fitting method is used along the initial position contour to obtain the fitting outer contour of the track 20 .

[0100] Step S6: When the current offset difference is less than the preset difference, the current position image is processed and the current position outer contour of the track 20 is drawn. In this embodiment, the current position image can be processed in the same manner as the initial position image to draw the current position outer contour of the track 20.

[0101] Step S7: superimpose and compare the outer contour of the current position with the fitted outer contour to analyze the degree of deflection of the track 20 relative to the crane body 10. By analyzing the degree of deflection of the track 20 relative to the crane body 10, it is possible to further determine whether the crane body 10 is offset while walking on the track 20.

[0102] Specifically, the method for superimposing and comparing the outer contour of the current position with the fitted outer contour includes:

[0103] The image of the outer contour of the current position is aligned with the image of the fitted outer contour using an image transformation. For example, the outer contour of the current position is aligned with the fitted outer contour using an affine transformation. Affine transformation can adjust the size, direction, rotation, etc. of the image to ensure the consistency of the two contours in space. Aligning the images facilitates subsequent comparison and analysis.

[0104] The difference between the current position outer contour and the fitted outer contour is analyzed as follows:

[0105] ,in, is the pixel value of the fitted outer contour image at point (x, y), is the pixel value of the outer contour image at the current position at point (x, y); M and N are the number of rows and columns of the image. MSE calculates the average of the squares of the difference between the fitted outer contour image and the outer contour image at the current position at each pixel. This metric can reflect the degree of visual difference between the two images.

[0106] The difference metric is quantified as: This quantization makes the difference measure unaffected by image brightness and contrast, and enables comparison between different images. The quantized value ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 means that the two images are exactly the same and 1 means that they are completely different.

[0107] The current walking speeds of the two walking drive mechanisms 30 are analyzed as follows: , where f is the image acquisition frequency, k is the adjustment coefficient, and p is the image resolution; the coordinates of the markers in the current position image collected are (x2, y2), and the coordinates of the markers in the first n images collected are (x1, y1). In this embodiment, n can be 1, and the current walking speed of the walking drive mechanism 30 can be determined by using the coordinates of the markers in the two adjacent images collected. Of course, n can be other values, and the current walking speed of the walking drive mechanism 30 can be determined by using the coordinates of the markers in the current position image and other position images collected. The walking speeds of the two walking drive mechanisms 30 can be analyzed by using their respective collected images to analyze their respective current walking speeds, so that they can be adjusted separately later.

[0108] Step S8: If the deflection degree is greater than or equal to the preset degree, the walking speeds of the two walking drive mechanisms 30 are adjusted according to the deflection degree until the deflection degree is less than the preset degree.

[0109] Specifically, if ≥ , the quantified difference measurement is used as a feedback signal to adjust the current walking speed V of the two walking drive mechanisms 30; is the preset degree value;

[0110] Return to the step of obtaining the current position images of the two tracks 20 to obtain the quantized current difference measure ;

[0111] Based on the current difference measure , adjust the current travel speed V of the two travel drive mechanisms 30 until < , adjust the current walking speeds V of the two walking drive mechanisms 30 to be consistent.

[0112] The quantified difference measurement is used as a feedback signal to control and adjust the travel speed of the two travel drive mechanisms 30. This closed-loop control system ensures that the system can make adaptive adjustments based on the current image differences through real-time monitoring and adjustment to achieve more precise alignment and control.

[0113] In this embodiment, the current difference metric , adjusting the current walking speed V of the two walking drive mechanisms 30, including:

[0114] The current stepping states of the two travel drive mechanisms 30 are respectively determined. When one of the travel drive mechanisms 30 is in the ready state, the travel drive mechanism 30 in the forward state stops and waits until all the travel drive mechanisms 30 enter the forward state; wherein the stepping state includes the ready state and the forward state;

[0115] Based on the current difference measure , adjust the current walking speed V of the corresponding one of the walking drive mechanisms 30 to increase and / or adjust the current walking speed V of another of the walking drive mechanisms 30 to decrease.

[0116] The travel drive mechanism 30 in the present application is a step-by-step drive mode. Taking the driving of the crane body for example, the travel drive member is a hydraulic drive member, and the hydraulic drive member includes two states, namely, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod. When the hydraulic rod is extended, the reversing component 302 is driven to move in the direction away from the sliding mechanism, and then the slot 210 on the guide rail can be used to drive the crane body to move in the direction away from the reversing component 302. At this time, the travel drive mechanism 30 is in a forward state. In this state, if another travel drive mechanism 30 is in a ready state, that is, when the hydraulic rod is retracted, the reversing component 302 moves in the direction close to the sliding mechanism, and the crane body will not walk on the track 20, then the deviation of the crane body may be aggravated, and the walking may be out of sync. Therefore, when each travel drive mechanism 30 is in the same state, adjusting its walking speed is conducive to synchronous adjustment and control.

[0117] In this embodiment, when the current offset difference is less than the preset difference, it is judged from the dimension of the forward direction that the crane body 10 is walking in a relatively balanced manner at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to further judge whether the deflection degree is greater than the preset degree. If the deflection degree is still greater than the preset degree, it proves that the crane body 10 is still unbalanced during walking, and then it is necessary to adjust one of the walking drive mechanisms 30 or synchronously adjust the two walking drive mechanisms 30 according to the deflection degree and the direction of the deflection to increase or decrease the walking drive speed.

[0118] In this embodiment, the walking control method further includes:

[0119] The PID controller is used to respectively control the travel speeds of the two travel drive mechanisms 30. The travel drive speed of the travel drive mechanism 30 can be accurately adjusted by the PID controller, and the PID controller can quickly respond to system deviations and adjust inputs in a timely manner.

[0120] In the above-mentioned travel control method, when it is determined that the track 20 has moved into position, the crane body 10 is controlled to be placed on the track 20; after the reversing component 302 is controlled to switch to the crane travel mode, the travel drive 301 is controlled to drive the crane body 10 to move on the track 20. When the bridge crane 1 is in the crane body travel mode, the current position images of the two tracks 20 are obtained at the same time; the marking elements in the current position images of the two tracks 20 are respectively identified; the current offset difference between the positions of the marking elements in the two current position images is compared to determine the travel distance difference of the two travel drive mechanisms 30; by comparing the positions of the marking elements on the two tracks 20, the synchronization of the crane body 10 on the two tracks 20 can be determined, so after adjusting the travel speed of the two travel drive mechanisms 30 that drive the crane body 10 to travel according to the travel distance difference, the step of obtaining the current position images of the two tracks 20 is returned to execute until the crane body 10 moves into position. The above method can ensure that the speed of the crane body 10 walking on different tracks 20 is matched, avoid walking too fast or too slow on one side of the track 20, reduce the internal force unevenness of the crane body 10, and thus ensure the stability of the entire crane body 10 structure and the safety of the crane body 10 walking during the walking process.

[0121] At the same time, the above-mentioned walking control method can effectively realize the automatic control of the walking process of the bridge crane 1, improve the displacement efficiency and accuracy of the bridge crane 1, reduce the participation and operation of construction personnel, and improve the safety of the bridge crane 1 during the displacement process.
