The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.
[0020] The present application provides an integrated automatic lifting device for pipe segments and box culverts, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including two clamping beams 1, through which the box culvert 200 is clamped and lifted; a segment support body 2 is fixed at the bottom of the clamping beam 1, and when lifting the segment 100, the segment support body 2 is used to clamp the segment 100. In this way, the automatic lifting device of the present application can not only realize the lifting of the box culvert 200, but also be used to lift the segment 100, without the need to frequently replace the lifting device. Among them, both ends of the clamping beam 1 are provided with a support block 6 for abutting against the inner wall of the box culvert 200, so as to realize a more stable and safe lifting of the box culvert 200.
[0021] The clamping beam 1 is provided with a clamp leg 5, a hydraulic drive device 3 and a slewing device 4 in sequence. The hydraulic drive device 3 is used to drive and adjust the distance between the two clamping beams 1; the slewing device 4 is used to drive the clamping beam 1 and the segment support body 2 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the box culvert 200 and the segment 100. A suspension point 7 for connecting with the crane is provided above the slewing device 4. The suspension point 7 is provided with one or more. In a preferred embodiment, at least four suspension points 7 are provided. By providing at least four suspension points 7, the stable and reliable operation of the sling is ensured, and the shaking is reduced. In addition, a spare sling hook needs to be designed on the sling.
[0022] The spreader is also provided with a proximity switch limiter for the maximum and minimum opening between the two beams, as well as a mechanical stopper device. By setting the switch limiter and the mechanical stopper device, the distance adjustment between the two beams does not exceed the maximum and minimum openings; in addition, the spreader is also provided with a maximum and minimum limit proximity switch limiter and a mechanical stopper device for rotation to ensure safe and reliable rotation. The clamp leg 5 is provided with photoelectric sensors such as load, clamping, seam alignment, bottom anti-collision, laser ranging, and top anti-collision, and is provided with a status indicator light, so that the crane operator can identify the working status from the indicator light signal, which is convenient for the spreader operation.
[0023] The rotary device 4 is equipped with an absolute value encoder for detecting the rotation angle, and the driving part of the rotary device 4 adopts frequency conversion or servo drive. The control part of the rotary device 4 needs to have the functions of accurate rotation positioning and anti-sway to ensure that the sling does not have obvious rotational shaking after the rotation is completed. Furthermore, the sling of the present application is also equipped with an inclination detection device to facilitate the detection of whether the hoisted weight is eccentric.
[0024] The implementation principle of the integrated automatic hoist for pipe segments and box culverts of the present application is as follows: a three-dimensional laser scanning device is installed on the hoist, and the coordinates of the pipe segment 100 and the box culvert 200 are automatically identified by the scanning device; after the hoist is positioned at the position of the pipe segment 100 or the box culvert 200, the suspension point 7 is automatically lowered, and multiple suspension points 7 ensure that the operation process of the hoist is stable and reliable; the rotary device 4 is driven to rotate at a certain angle to ensure that the hoist is aligned with the pipe segment 100 or the box culvert 200; the laser rangefinder arranged on the clamp leg 5 can accurately locate the position of the suspension point; after the pipe segment supporting body 2 or the supporting block 6 runs to a certain distance below the suspension point of the pipe segment 100 or the box culvert 200, the suspension point 7 is lifted, and after the supporting body or the supporting block 6 detects the load, the suspension point 7 stops running.
[0025] The hydraulic drive device 3 controls the extension and retraction of both sides of the clamp legs 5 so that the clamping beam 1 or the segment support body 2 clamps the segment 100 or the box culvert 200. When the load set on the clamp legs 5 is monitored to a certain load value, the hydraulic drive device 3 stops running. The sling of the present application is more practical, more efficient, reduces costs, and is safer and more reliable.
[0026] The present application also provides a method for lifting a pipe segment and a box culvert integrated automatic lifting device, using the above-mentioned pipe segment and box culvert integrated automatic lifting device, comprising the following steps: S1. Visual recognition and feature extraction: Use 3D laser to scan the on-site segments and box culverts, output the 3D models of the segments and box culverts, and extract the size coordinates, position coordinates, and hanging point coordinates of the segments and box culverts.
[0027] S11. Input image: The camera obtains the real-time image of the pipe segment or box culvert S12. Build a deep learning model ResNet , in, Indicates the information of the picture after shooting. Represents the model parameters of ResNet, , p is the output geometric feature, where is the width, is the height, is the thickness and position characteristics; , ( ) is the geometric center position of the target is the rotation angle.
[0028] S2. Parametric shape representation: Based on the geometric feature data extracted in step S1, a specific parametric function is used to represent the shape of the segment and box culvert.
[0029] Specifically, use the parameter set Represent the shape of the segment or box culvert using a parameterized function Describes a geometric model of a rectangular body or other specific shapes. Specifically: .
[0030] S3, spatial posture calculation: According to the axial position of the pipe segment and the box culvert, determine whether the axial direction of the pipe segment and the box culvert is consistent with the clamping force direction of the hanger clamp. The axial direction of the pipe segment is perpendicular to the side of the pipe segment, and the axial direction of the box culvert is perpendicular to the side of the box culvert. Based on the shape representation of step S2 and the position information of visual recognition, the spatial posture of the object is determined through step S3, which specifically includes the following steps: S31. Establish homogeneous transformation matrix T
[0031] Among them, the rotation matrix R represents the rotation posture of the object, and the translation vector t=(x, y, z) represents the position of the object; S32. Output the spatial position of the object , where the rotation matrix Information from an angle Calculated. Taking the rotation around the z axis as an example,
[0032] S4. Automatic lifting and operation: Use spatial posture information to guide the lifting equipment to complete automatic grasping, lifting and placement.
[0033] First, align the center point of the spreader with the center point of the pipe segment and the box culvert, and adjust the position and rotation angle of the spreader according to the angle between the clamping force direction of the spreader clamp and the axial direction of the pipe segment and the box culvert.
[0034] According to the center position and axial direction of the pipe segment and the box culvert, adjust the position and rotation angle of the spreader to keep the distance between the spreader clamps greater than the thickness of the pipe segment and the box culvert by 50 cm; it should be noted that 50 cm is only one of the embodiments, and the construction site can adjust the distance value according to the actual situation. For example, the thickness of the pipe segment and the box culvert along the axial direction is 2m, and the distance between the clamps is 250cm.
[0035] The hoist slowly descends to 5 cm below the hanging point of the segment and box culvert, and the hoist clamps further verify whether it is the hanging point through infrared rays. The hoist clamps slowly clamp. When the distance between the clamps is greater than 10 cm of the thickness of the segment and box culvert, for example, the thickness of the segment and box culvert along the axial direction is 2 m, and the distance between the clamps is 210 cm, the segment and box culvert are automatically lifted upward. When the hoist senses the downward gravity of the segment and box culvert, in one of the embodiments, when the hoist senses that the gravity reaches 10% of the dead weight of the segment and box culvert, the clamps are controlled to clamp through the hydraulic drive device. When the clamping force, that is, the pressure, reaches 5 MPa, the hydraulic drive clamps are stopped. It should be noted that 5 MPa is only one of the embodiments, and the pressure value can be adjusted according to actual conditions at the construction site.
[0036] The specific steps include: S41, automatic positioning: adjust the position of the spreader according to t to align it with the pipe segment and box culvert; use the rotation matrix R to adjust the spreader angle to be consistent with the object posture; S42, Gripping Position Optimization: Through Geometric Model and posture Determine the best gripping point ; S43, automatic clamping: hydraulic system provides clamping force ; S44, Path Optimization: Through the dynamic programming algorithm, the lifting path is automatically planned to avoid obstacles. When planning the lifting path, the starting point, end point and environmental constraints are used as reference parameters, and the optimal path is dynamically planned.
[0037] S45, Output: The automated lifting task is completed and the workpiece is safely and accurately grasped, moved and placed.
[0038] In the integrated lifting method of pipe segments and box culverts in the present application, the lifting device is equipped with an advanced visual recognition system, which uses a camera and a deep learning algorithm ResNet to identify the shape and position of the pipe segment or box culvert and accurately locate the position of the lifting device. The visual recognition system can capture the coordinates and angle information of the box culvert or pipe segment in real time, and calculate the best clamping position through an algorithm, thereby achieving automatic alignment without manual intervention, significantly improving operational efficiency.
[0039] The built-in intelligent algorithm system of the spreader can automatically adjust the spreader's posture and clamping force in combination with visual recognition data to achieve flexible adaptation to workpieces of different sizes and shapes. During the clamping process, the algorithm can adjust the position and angle in real time to ensure that the spreader is aligned with the workpiece in the optimal position for efficient and safe clamping.
[0040] In addition, hydraulic automatic clamping is adopted, and the clamping force can be monitored at the same time; the clamping force of the spreader is provided by the hydraulic system, and is equipped with sensors for real-time monitoring. The fuzzy control algorithm is used to determine whether the clamping force is within the safe range. Once an abnormal force value is detected, the system can automatically adjust to ensure the safety of the lifting process. The control system of the spreader combines visual recognition data and position feedback, and can optimize the path through a dynamic planning path algorithm to automatically plan the best lifting route. At the same time, it can automatically rotate as needed during the lifting process to ensure that the direction of the workpiece meets the operating requirements during transportation and placement. The automated spreader has an automatic rotation function, and can automatically rotate a certain angle during clamping and lifting to ensure that the position of the pipe segment and box culvert clamping and unloading process meets the requirements.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
