[0058] Figure 1The following schematically shows a flow chart of a tower crane authority management method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a tower crane authority management method, which is used for a server, and the server is used to manage hoisting tasks, multiple tower cranes and multiple remote controllers at a work site. The method includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 210: Obtaining the location information of the shipping point and the location information of the receiving point;

[0060] In this embodiment, there may be a server, multiple tower cranes, and multiple remote controllers at the work site. Among them, the server is mainly responsible for work task management and equipment management, and the tower crane and the remote controller are mainly responsible for work task execution. The above-mentioned shipping point location information may include the coordinates of the shipping location, and the above-mentioned receiving point location information may include the coordinates of the receiving location. The above-mentioned acquisition may be issued by the remote controller, for example, remote controllers are respectively set at the shipping point and the receiving point, and the remote controller can send the coordinate information to the server; it can also be obtained by the operator inputting from the tower crane management server.

[0061] Step 220: In response to the task application instruction, a lifting task is established based on the shipping point location information and the receiving point location information, and a task execution device is determined from the multiple tower cranes and the multiple remote controllers, wherein the task execution device includes a working tower crane and a working remote controller;

[0062] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned task application instruction can be a request to initiate a work task. In addition to being issued by the shipping point remote control, it can also be initiated by the management platform, the receiving point remote control, etc. As long as the device can obtain the shipping point location information and the receiving point location information, the task request can be initiated. For example: the operator at the shipping point can initiate a lifting task application through a handheld remote control, that is, send a task application instruction to the server. It should be noted that if there is an overlapping area of ​​multiple tower cranes at the shipping point, the receiving point must be specified. The server has the work task management authority. After receiving the task application instruction, it establishes a lifting task. The lifting task includes the shipping point location and the receiving point location. Then the server will calculate whether there is an idle tower crane that can reach the receiving point location. It can call the remote control near the receiving point according to the principle of proximity to undertake the receiving task, thereby determining the working tower crane and the working remote control.

[0063] It should be noted that the remote controllers involved in completing the work tasks can be automatically called by the server based on the principle of proximity, or can be directly specified by the remote controller that initiates the lifting task application or the server.

[0064] Step 230: Initiate the lifting task, and during the execution of the lifting task, allocate management authority of the working tower crane to the working remote controller.

[0065] In this embodiment, after the lifting task is established, the lifting task can be started so that the working tower crane and the working remote controller start working to complete the lifting task. During the execution of the lifting task, the server can assign the management authority of the working tower crane to the working remote controller to facilitate the control of the working tower crane.

[0066] In some embodiments, in order to improve the efficiency of the lifting task execution, the effectiveness of the lifting task can be determined before executing the lifting task. That is, starting the lifting task includes the following steps:

[0067] First, a lifting task application is sent to the task execution device, and based on the application feedback from the task execution device, it is determined whether the lifting task is valid;

[0068] In this embodiment, after determining the task execution device, a lifting task application can be sent to the task execution device to notify the task execution device. After receiving the lifting task application, the task execution device determines whether to accept the lifting task and feeds back to the server. If accepted, the lifting task is determined to be effective, otherwise it is not effective. For example, if the remote controller near the receiving point can be called according to the principle of proximity to accept the receiving task, if a remote controller accepts the task, the task is determined to be effective, otherwise it is not effective.

[0069] Then, when the lifting task is valid, starting the lifting task;

[0070] Then, when the lifting task is invalid, lifting task feedback information is generated.

[0071] In this embodiment, if the lifting task is valid, the lifting task is started, and then the subsequent steps are executed. The lifting task feedback information may include the result of judging whether the lifting task is valid and the reason why the lifting task is invalid. For example, if the lifting task is valid, the shipping tower crane management authority can be assigned to the shipping remote controller and the receiving remote controller. After having the management authority, the remote controller can view the working condition and video information of the shipping tower crane. If the lifting task is invalid, the result and reason are fed back to the remote controller that initiated the lifting task application.

[0072] By sending a lifting task application to the task execution device and judging whether the lifting task is valid based on the application feedback from the task execution device, the lifting task is started only if it is valid, thereby avoiding the situation where the lifting task is invalid, improving the execution efficiency of the lifting task and ensuring the smooth execution of the lifting task.

[0073] In some embodiments, the working remote controller includes a shipping remote controller and / or a receiving remote controller;

[0074] The allocating the management authority of the working tower crane to the working remote controller during the execution of the lifting task includes: allocating the corresponding management authority of the working tower crane to the cargo remote controller and / or the receiving cargo remote controller during the execution of the lifting task.

[0075] In this embodiment, according to actual conditions, the working remote controller includes a delivery remote controller and / or a receiving remote controller. Accordingly, during the execution of the lifting task, which remote controller needs to control the working tower crane is assigned to the corresponding remote controller. This facilitates the delivery remote controller and the receiving remote controller to smoothly control the working tower crane and ensures the smooth execution of the lifting task.

[0076] In some embodiments, during the execution of the lifting task, allocating management authority of the working tower crane to the working remote controller includes:

[0077] The management authority includes calling rights. During the execution of the lifting task, the calling right of the working tower crane is allocated to the working remote controller so that the end effector of the working tower crane moves toward the working remote controller according to the calling instruction of the working remote controller.

[0078] In this embodiment, the end effector of the working tower crane may be a hook. The calling right may refer to the hook calling right, that is, the right to call the end effector of the working tower crane to the position of the working remote control. For example, when the lifting task begins, the server assigns the calling right of the working tower crane to the shipping remote control, and the shipping remote control has the hook calling right of the shipping tower crane. After the shipping remote control controls the end effector of the working tower crane to run to a safe height, the receiving stage can be started. At this time, the server assigns the calling right of the working tower crane to the receiving remote control, and the receiving remote control has the hook calling right of the receiving tower crane. After the working remote control has the calling right of the working tower crane, it can send a call instruction to the working tower crane to control the end effector of the working tower crane to move toward the working remote control.

[0079] During the execution of the lifting task, the calling right of the working tower crane is allocated to the working remote control, so that the working remote control has the authority to perform a hook operation on the working tower crane to ensure that the end effector of the working tower crane can move toward the working remote control according to the calling instruction of the working remote control.

[0080] In some embodiments, during the execution of the lifting task, allocating management authority of the working tower crane to the working remote controller includes:

[0081] The management authority includes ownership. During the execution of the lifting task, the ownership of the working tower crane is allocated to the working remote controller to ensure that the working remote controller has sole control over the working tower crane.

[0082] In this embodiment, the ownership of the working tower crane refers to the authority to operate the working tower crane. The working remote control obtains the ownership of the working tower crane automatically according to the distance between the working remote control and the end effector of the working tower crane, or the working remote control can manually apply for it through buttons, etc. For example, when the hook reaches the vicinity of the shipping point, it stops automatically, and the server assigns the ownership of the working tower crane to the shipping remote control, so that the shipping remote control automatically obtains the ownership of the working tower crane, and only the shipping remote control can operate the tower crane at this time. Correspondingly, when the hook reaches the vicinity of the receiving point, it stops automatically, and the server assigns the ownership of the working tower crane to the receiving remote control, and the receiving remote control automatically obtains the ownership of the tower crane, and only the receiving remote control can operate the tower crane at this time.

[0083] By allocating ownership of the working tower crane to the working remote controller, it is ensured that the working remote controller has exclusive control over the working tower crane, thereby ensuring the uniqueness of the control over the working tower crane, so that the lifting task can be carried out safely and smoothly.

[0084] In some embodiments, after obtaining ownership of the working tower crane, the method further comprises:

[0085] In the first step, the management authority also includes the operating right. When the ownership of the working tower crane is successfully assigned to the working remote controller, the tower crane operating right application sent by the working remote controller is obtained;

[0086] In the second step, in response to the tower crane operating right application, the operating right of the working tower crane is allocated to the working remote controller, so that the working remote controller can control the working tower crane to operate.

[0087] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned operating rights refer to the authority to operate the tower crane. For example, after obtaining the ownership of the tower crane, the delivery remote control can manually apply for the tower crane operating rights, and after the application is obtained, the tower crane can be manually operated to complete the hooking work. Releasing the tower crane operating rights midway does not affect the ownership. Correspondingly, after obtaining the ownership of the tower crane, the receiving remote control can manually apply for the tower crane operating rights, and after the application is obtained, the tower crane can be manually operated to complete the unhooking work. Releasing the tower crane operating rights midway does not affect the ownership.

[0088] The operating rights of the working tower crane are allocated to the working remote controller to ensure smooth control of the working tower crane by the working remote controller, so that the lifting task can be carried out safely and smoothly.

[0089] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0090] When the end effector of the working tower crane runs to a preset safety height, the operating right of the working tower crane is released by the working remote controller.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the hook is hooked, the consignor releases the right to operate the working tower crane after controlling the hook to move to a safe height through the delivery remote control. At this time, the receiving remote control can obtain the right to call the working tower crane. Correspondingly, when the hook is unhooked, the consignee releases the right to operate the working tower crane after manually controlling the hook to move to a safe height through the receiving remote control. The above-mentioned preset safety height can be pre-set according to actual conditions.

[0092] When the end effector of the working tower crane runs to a preset safety height, the working remote controller releases the operating right of the working tower crane so as to distribute the operating right to other working remote controllers, thereby ensuring the orderly and safe hoisting process.

[0093] It should be noted that the allocation of the above management authority can be to allocate corresponding management authority to each working remote controller according to the actual operating process of the lifting task during execution.

[0094] In the above implementation process, the server obtains the shipping point location information and the receiving point location information; in response to the task application instruction, a lifting task is established based on the shipping point location information and the receiving point location information, and a task execution device is determined among the multiple tower cranes and multiple remote controllers, and the task execution device includes a working tower crane and a working remote controller; the lifting task is started, and during the execution of the lifting task, the management authority of the working tower crane is allocated to the working remote controller. Work task management and equipment management are achieved by establishing a lifting task. During the execution of the lifting task, the management authority of the working tower crane is allocated to the working remote controller, and authority management of the working tower crane is achieved, which is suitable for group tower operation scenarios. During the execution of the lifting task, only those with a certain authority can perform corresponding operations on the working tower crane, thereby ensuring that the lifting task and process are orderly and safe.

[0095] In one embodiment, the management authority includes calling rights. After the management authority of the working tower crane is assigned to the working remote control, the method further includes: the working remote control obtains a calling instruction, and sends the calling instruction to the working tower crane to make the working tower crane move toward the working remote control.

[0096] In this embodiment, after obtaining the calling right of the working tower crane, the working remote controller has the calling hook right of the working tower crane, which can be achieved by manually pressing the calling button on the remote controller to obtain the calling instruction, and then sending the calling instruction to the working tower crane, and the hook will automatically move toward the working remote controller. For example: the delivery remote controller has the calling hook right of the delivery tower crane, and the hook will automatically move toward the delivery remote controller by manually pressing the calling button. The consignee presses the calling hook button and the hook will automatically move toward the delivery remote controller.

[0097] The calling instruction is obtained by the working remote controller and sent to the working tower crane, so that the operator can perform the hook calling operation.

[0098] In some embodiments, the management authority includes ownership and operating rights. After the management authority of the working tower crane is assigned to the working remote controller, the method further includes: after completing the manual hooking work or unhooking work, the working remote controller controls the end actuator of the working tower crane to run to a preset safety height.

[0099] In this embodiment, after obtaining ownership and operating rights, the tower crane can be manually controlled to complete the hooking or unhooking work. When the hooking is completed, the consignor manually remotely controls the end effector of the working tower crane to run to a safe height. When the unhooking is completed, the consignee manually remotely controls the end effector of the working tower crane to run to a safe height. The above-mentioned preset safety height can be preset according to actual conditions.

[0100] After completing the manual hooking work or unhooking work, the working remote controller controls the end effector of the working tower crane to run to a preset safe height, thereby further ensuring that the hoisting process is orderly and safe.

[0101] This embodiment provides a tower crane authority management method for a remote controller, the method comprising:

[0102] First, during the execution of the lifting task, obtain the management authority of the working tower crane;

[0103] Then, in case of successfully obtaining the management authority of the working tower crane, controlling the working tower crane to perform the lifting task;

[0104] Among them, the lifting task is established by the server acquiring the shipping point location information and the receiving point location information in response to the task application instruction based on the shipping point location information and the receiving point location information; the management authority of the working tower crane is obtained by the server determining the task execution equipment among the multiple tower cranes and multiple remote controllers, the task execution equipment includes a working tower crane and a working remote controller, starting the lifting task, and during the execution of the lifting task, allocating the management authority of the working tower crane to the working remote controller.

[0105] In some embodiments, the management authority includes calling rights;

[0106] When the management authority of the working tower crane is successfully obtained, the working tower crane is controlled to perform the lifting task, including: when the calling right of the working tower crane is successfully obtained, a calling instruction is sent to the working tower crane, so that the end effector of the working tower crane moves toward the working remote control according to the calling instruction.

[0109] The obtaining of the management authority of the working tower crane includes:

[0110] First, obtaining ownership of the working tower crane;

[0111] Then, in case of successfully acquiring the ownership of the working tower crane, sending an application for tower crane operation rights to the working tower crane;

[0112] Finally, the operating right of the working tower crane allocated by the server in response to the tower crane operating right application is obtained.

[0113] In some embodiments, the management authority includes ownership and operation rights;

[0115] In some embodiments, the method further includes: releasing the operating right of the working tower crane when the end effector of the working tower crane runs to a preset safety height.

[0116] It should be noted that the above embodiment describes the tower crane authority management method from the perspective of the remote controller, and the specific process is the same as the tower crane authority management method used for the server, which will not be repeated here.

[0121] The working remote controller controls the working tower crane to perform a lifting task according to the management authority of the working tower crane, including:

[0122] The first step is that after the lifting task is started, the shipping remote controller obtains the calling right of the working tower crane, and the shipping remote controller sends a calling instruction to the working tower crane, so that the end effector of the working tower crane moves toward the shipping remote controller according to the calling instruction;

[0123] In the second step, after the end effector of the working tower crane reaches the position of the shipping remote control, the shipping remote control obtains the ownership of the working tower crane, and the shipping remote control sends an application for tower crane operation rights to the server, and the server allocates the operation rights of the working tower crane to the shipping remote control;

[0124] The third step is to manually operate the working tower crane to complete the hooking work after the delivery remote controller obtains the operating right of the working tower crane;

[0125] Step 4: After the hooking work is completed, when the end effector of the working tower crane is remotely controlled by the shipping remote controller to run to a preset safety height, the operating right of the working tower crane is released, and the receiving remote controller obtains the calling right of the working tower crane;

[0126] Step 5: The receiving remote controller sends a call command to the working tower crane, so that the end effector of the working tower crane moves toward the receiving remote controller according to the call command;

[0127] Step 6: After the end effector of the working tower crane reaches the position of the receiving remote control, the receiving remote control obtains the ownership of the working tower crane, and the receiving remote control sends an application for tower crane operation rights to the server, and the server allocates the operation rights of the working tower crane to the receiving remote control;

[0128] Step 7: After the receiving remote controller obtains the operating right of the working tower crane, the working tower crane is manually controlled to complete the unloading work;

[0129] In the eighth step, after the unhooking work is completed, the end effector of the working tower crane is remotely controlled by the receiving remote controller to run to a preset safety height, and the operating right of the working tower crane is released.

[0130] In this embodiment, after the receiving remote controller releases the operating right of the working tower crane, the server can also close the lifting task and control the working tower crane to enter an idle state.

[0131] In the above implementation process, the server obtains the shipping point location information and the receiving point location information; based on the shipping point location information and the receiving point location information, a lifting task is established, and a task execution device is determined among the multiple tower cranes and multiple remote controllers, and the task execution device includes a working tower crane and a working remote controller; the lifting task is started, and during the execution of the lifting task, the management authority of the working tower crane is allocated to the working remote controller, and the working remote controller controls the working tower crane to perform the lifting task according to the management authority of the working tower crane. Work task management and equipment management are realized by establishing a lifting task. During the execution of the lifting task, the management authority of the working tower crane is allocated to the working remote controller, and authority management of the working tower crane is realized, which is suitable for group tower operation scenarios. During the execution of the lifting task, only those with a certain authority can perform corresponding operations on the working tower crane, thereby ensuring that the lifting task and process are orderly and safe.

[0132] The following is an example of completing a specific lifting task, which includes the following steps:

[0133] Step 1: The personnel at the delivery point can initiate a lifting task application by holding a remote control. If there are multiple tower cranes overlapping at the delivery point, a receiving point must be specified;

[0134] Step 2: The server has the task management authority. After receiving the task application, it will calculate whether there is an idle tower crane that can reach the receiving point. If so, it can call the remote control near the receiving point to undertake the receiving task. If a remote control accepts this task, it will be determined that this task is effective, otherwise it will not take effect: if it takes effect, the shipping tower crane management authority is assigned to the shipping and receiving remote controls. After having the management authority, the remote control can view the working condition and video information of the shipping tower crane; if it does not take effect, the result and reason will be fed back to the remote control that initiated the lifting task application.

[0135] Step 3: After the work task takes effect, the delivery remote controller has the right to call the hook of the delivery tower crane. If the call button is pressed manually, the hook will automatically move toward the delivery remote controller;

[0136] Step 4: When the hook reaches the delivery point, it stops automatically and the delivery remote controller automatically obtains ownership of the tower crane. At this time, only the remote controller can control the tower crane.

[0137] Step 5: After obtaining the ownership of the tower crane, the delivery remote controller can manually apply for the tower crane operation right. After the application is obtained, the tower crane can be manually controlled to complete the hooking work. Releasing the tower crane operation right midway does not affect the ownership;

[0138] Step 6: When the hook is hooked, the consignor manually controls the hook to move to a safe height and releases the tower crane operation right. At this time, the tower crane at the receiving point obtains the tower crane call right;

[0139] Step 7: The consignee presses the hook call button and the hook will automatically move toward the consignee remote control;

[0140] Step 8: When the hook reaches the receiving point, it stops automatically and the receiving remote controller automatically obtains ownership of the tower crane. At this time, only the remote controller can control the tower crane.

[0141] Step 9: After obtaining the ownership of the tower crane, the receiver of the remote control can manually apply for the tower crane operation right. After the application is obtained, the tower crane can be manually controlled to complete the unhooking work. Releasing the tower crane operation right midway does not affect the ownership;

[0142] Step 10: When the unloading is completed, the consignee manually controls the hook to move to a safe height and releases the tower crane operation right. At this point, the task is completed, the server closes this task, and the tower crane enters an idle state to take on the next round of tasks.
