Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this specification. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention belong to the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a trajectory optimization control method for a beam moving machine based on the collaboration of digital twins and unmanned aerial vehicles, the method comprising:

[0036] Step 1: Collect basic data of the construction site, including terrain, building structure and equipment information. The terrain and building structure can be collected by a total station.

[0037] Step 2: Use a drone equipped with a high-resolution camera and LiDAR to shoot the construction site scene, obtain video data and 3D point cloud data in real time, and process it to obtain a panoramic view of the construction site and a digital model of the construction site. This includes the following processes:

[0038] s2.1. Flight path planning: Set the flight path based on the construction site basic data to ensure coverage of the entire construction site and avoid obstacles;

[0039] s2.2, Real-time data acquisition: The UAV collects image data and 3D point cloud data in real time according to the preset flight path, and transmits the image data and 3D point cloud data to the ground control station;

[0040] s2.3. Data processing and analysis: The ground control station processes the image data and 3D point cloud data, stitches and corrects the image data using image processing software, generates a panoramic view of the construction site, and converts the 3D point cloud data into a digital model of the construction site through BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology.

[0041] During this process, sensor equipment pre-deployed at the construction site can also be used to obtain real-time construction site environmental information, including temperature, humidity, and equipment status, which can be synchronized to the construction site digital model to provide more information for subsequent on-site control.

[0042] Step 3: Obtain the optimal trajectory of the beam moving machine through the following process:

[0043] S3.1, let the trajectory of the beam moving machine be T = {(x1, y1, z1, t1), (x2, y2, z2, t2),…, (x i ,y i ,z i ,t i ), …}, (x i ,y i ,z i ) indicates that the beam moving machine is at t i The spatial coordinate position at the moment;

[0044] S3.2. Establish the objective function:

[0045]

[0046] Among them, E(t i ) indicates that the beam moving machine is at t i The energy consumption at the moment can be calculated by the following formula:

[0047] E(t)=p(t)×t1

[0048] P(t) represents the power consumption of the beam moving machine at time t, which is usually determined by the motor power and other load factors, and t1 represents the time period, which can be regarded as the duration of a short period of time; represents the preset time weight coefficient, which is set to 0.5 in this embodiment, indicating the weight balance between time and energy consumption during trajectory optimization. This balance is a reasonable choice for general construction site scenarios because it takes into account both efficiency (time) and energy consumption;

[0049] S3.3. Establish constraint conditions based on the obstacle positions in the digital model of the construction site. Set the obstacle coordinates as (x obs ,y obs ,z obs ), then it satisfies where d safe The preset safety distance;

[0050] S3.4. Optimize the objective function according to the constraints to obtain the optimal trajectory of the beam moving machine.

[0051] When there is updated data in the digital model of the construction site, the optimal trajectory is recalculated through steps S3.1 to S3.4, and the trajectory of the beam mover is adjusted by implementing control input.

[0052] Step 4: Use the Internet of Things technology to perform data transmission and interaction between physical construction site equipment and the digital model of the construction site, and control the beam mover to move along the optimal trajectory of the beam mover.

[0053] During the control process, a closed-loop control mechanism can be established to monitor and adjust the trajectory of the beam mover in real time, while continuously updating the environmental model to form a feedback loop to continuously optimize trajectory planning and operating efficiency. The design of the intelligent collaborative optimization framework includes data collection, digital modeling, environmental simulation and other processes. For the closed-loop control system in the collaborative optimization framework, real-time monitoring and adjustment of the trajectory of the beam mover can be expressed as:

[0054] u(t)=K(x desired (txt))

[0055] Where u(t) represents the control input, K is the control gain matrix, and x desired (t) is the expected trajectory, and x(t) is the current actual trajectory. By continuously adjusting u(t), the beam moving machine is ensured to move along the optimal trajectory.
