Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal structure gate hoists for hydropower stations, and more specifically to the technical field of a protection system and control method suitable for an open-air surface of a crane. Background Art

[0002] Cranes are used for lifting heavy objects, usually above the reference plane of the heavy objects. The track of the trolley mechanism is set on the main beam of the crane. To facilitate the operation of the lifting trolley mechanism, one side of the track is the passage area for operators, and the other side is the open area. When operating, inspecting and maintaining the crane, operators need to pass on the main beam of the crane, which poses a risk of falling from a height.

[0003] The current protective measures generally include arranging a safety line near the main beam of the crane, and the operators wearing safety belts, which are hung on the safety ropes as temporary protection when passing. When multiple people are working on the crane at the same time, wearing safety belts is very inconvenient, and the work efficiency is low. In addition, there is a phenomenon that operators do not wear safety belts for convenience, which cannot fundamentally solve the protection problem of the crane's open surface.

[0004] When carrying out major repairs on crane equipment, a large amount of maintenance materials are piled on the crane's main beam. If they are not placed properly or maintenance personnel accidentally collide with them, it is very easy for objects to fall from high altitudes, posing a certain safety risk. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a protection system and a control method suitable for the free surface of a crane.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] One aspect of the present invention provides a protection system suitable for the free surface of a crane, the crane comprising two crane main beams and a lifting trolley mechanism slidably arranged between the two crane main beams, an free surface being formed between the two crane main beams, the protection system comprising a metal protection net retracting and extending mechanism arranged on the free surface, the metal protection net retracting and extending mechanism comprising a first protection net retracting and extending unit and a second protection net retracting and extending unit symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting trolley mechanism and linked to the lifting trolley mechanism, the first protection net retracting and extending unit and the second protection net retracting and extending unit being in a tensioned state; one end of the first protection net retracting and extending unit and the second protection net retracting and extending unit are fixed to the ends of the two crane main beams, and the other end is hung on the lifting trolley mechanism.

[0008] Specifically, this plan sets up a metal protective net on the free surface between the main beams of the crane and establishes an free surface protection system. Its control system is linked with the lifting trolley mechanism. With the operating data of the lifting trolley mechanism of the crane as a reference, the free surface protection system releases and contracts the metal protective net so that the metal protective net is always in a tensioned state, forming an free surface protection system without affecting the normal operation of the crane, thereby ensuring the safety of people passing through the main beams of the crane.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first protection net retracting and extending unit and the second protection net retracting and extending unit have the same structure.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first protective net retracting and releasing unit and the second protective net retracting and releasing unit both include a storage reel, a protective net and a reel motor. The storage reel is installed between the ends of two crane main beams. The width of the protective net is adapted to the width of the air-facing surface. The fixed end of the protective net is wound around the storage reel assembly, and the movable end of the protective net is hung on the lifting trolley mechanism.

[0011] In one embodiment, a hooking / unhooking device is provided at both ends of the bottom of the lifting trolley mechanism, and one end of the protective net is connected to the hooking / unhooking device.

[0012] Specifically, a hanging / unhooking device for the protective net is provided at the bottom of the lifting trolley mechanism, which facilitates the quick connection of the protective net with the lifting trolley mechanism; when the air surface protection system fails or needs to be shut down, it can be quickly detached from the lifting trolley mechanism by operating the hanging / unhooking device.

[0013] In one embodiment, position detection devices are installed at the front section of the metal protective net and the bottom of the lifting trolley mechanism for real-time monitoring of the synchronization between the metal protective net and the lifting trolley mechanism. Each position detection device is electrically connected to the crane PLC controller.

[0014] Specifically, the position detection device is a speed synchronization monitoring module. The position detection device is installed at a suitable position at the front end of the metal protective net and the bottom of the lifting trolley mechanism to monitor the synchronization of the metal protective net and the lifting trolley mechanism in real time.

[0015] In one embodiment, the hanging / unhooking device includes an operating rod, net hooks arranged at equal intervals on the operating rod, and fixed bases arranged at both ends of the operating rod, the two fixed bases are fixed on the base of the lifting trolley mechanism, and the position detection device is arranged on one of the fixed bases.

[0016] In one embodiment, one end of the storage drum is connected to the output shaft of the drum motor through a connecting shaft, and the drum motor is electrically connected to the crane PLC controller.

[0017] Specifically, the metal protective net is wrapped around the storage reel, and the other end is connected to the metal protective hanging / unhooking device at the bottom of the lifting trolley mechanism. The storage reel is connected to the three-in-one motor through the connecting shaft. The crane PLC controller controls the rotation of the three-in-one motor to realize the release and retraction of the metal protective net.

[0018] In one embodiment, the protective net is a metal protective net.

[0019] In one embodiment, the metal protective net is woven from crisscross metal wires.

[0020] In one embodiment, the output end of the reel motor is connected to the connecting shaft at one end of the storage reel through a transmission and a torque limiter.

[0021] Another aspect of the present invention provides a control method for a protection system for an open-air surface of a crane, comprising the following steps:

[0022] S1. Determine the operating speed of the air surface protection system based on the operating parameters of the lifting trolley mechanism:

[0023] According to the motor speed of the lifting trolley mechanism and the reduction ratio of the reducer, calculate the rotation speed of the storage drum of the air surface protection system, that is, the release and retraction speed of the metal protection net;

[0024] Assume that the rated speed of the running motor of the lifting trolley mechanism is n1, the reduction gear ratio of the reducer is i1, the wheel diameter of the lifting trolley mechanism is D1, and there is no pulley set, so the pulley set ratio is m1=1, then the rated operating speed of the lifting trolley mechanism is: v1=(π*D1*n1) / (i1*m1).

[0025] Assume that the rated speed of the three-in-one motor of the air surface protection system is n2, the transmission ratio of the reducer is i2, the diameter of the drum is D2, and there is no pulley set, so the pulley set ratio is m2=1, then the rated rotation speed of the drum of the air surface protection system is: v2=(π*D2*n2) / (i2*m2).

[0026] Taking the speed values ​​of the motor of the lifting trolley mechanism at each gear as a reference, according to the proportional relationship between v1 and v2, calculate the speed values ​​of the motor of the air surface protection system at each gear in turn; modify the program of the crane PLC controller to transmit the calculated speed values ​​of each gear to the frequency converter respectively.

[0027] S2. Speed ​​correction of air surface protection system:

[0028] A position detection switch is installed at a suitable position at the front end of the metal protective net and the bottom of the lifting trolley mechanism to monitor the synchronization between the metal protective net and the lifting trolley mechanism in real time, and the operating speed of the air surface protection system is adjusted in time according to the monitoring data.

[0029] During the forward movement of the lifting trolley mechanism, the crane PLC controller reads the deviation value d of the position detection switch in real time. If d is a positive value and d1<d<d2 (taking the zero point of the position detection switch as the reference, d1 is the set maximum allowable deviation distance value, which is adjusted appropriately according to actual needs; d2 is the limit value of the position detection switch), the release speed of the metal protective net increases by 20% (which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs); if d is a negative value and -d2<d<-d1 (taking the zero point of the position detection switch as the reference, d1 is the set maximum allowable deviation distance value, which is adjusted appropriately according to actual needs; d2 is the limit value of the position detection switch), the release speed of the metal protective net decreases by 20% (which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs); within the specified time t, if -d1≤d≤d1 (taking the following limit as the reference, d is a certain distance value, which is adjusted appropriately according to actual needs), the drum rotation returns to normal speed, otherwise the PLC issues an alarm command.

[0030] During the backward movement of the lifting trolley mechanism, the crane PLC controller reads the deviation value d of the position detection switch in real time. If d is a negative value and -d2<d<-d1 (taking the zero point of the position detection switch as the reference, d1 is a certain distance value, which is adjusted appropriately according to actual needs; d2 is the limit value of the position detection switch), the retraction speed of the metal protective net increases by 20% (which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs); if d is a positive value and d1<d<d2 (taking the zero point of the position detection switch as the reference, d1 is a certain distance value, which is adjusted appropriately according to actual needs; d2 is the limit value of the position detection switch), the retraction speed of the metal protective net decreases by 20% (which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs); within the specified time t, if -d1≤d≤d1 (taking the following limit as the reference, d is a certain distance value, which is adjusted appropriately according to actual needs), the drum rotation returns to normal speed, otherwise the crane PLC controller issues an alarm command.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. The present invention is reasonably designed. A metal protective net is arranged on the free surface between the main beams of the crane to establish a free surface protection system. The control system is linked with the lifting trolley mechanism. With reference to the operation data of the lifting trolley mechanism of the crane, the free surface protection system releases and contracts the metal protective net so that the metal protective net is always in a tensioned state, thereby forming a free surface protection system without affecting the normal operation of the crane and ensuring the safety of people passing through the main beams of the crane.

[0033] 2. The present invention has a simple structure, mature technology, and is easy to manufacture and install.

[0034] 3. This method can be used to protect the free surface of the crane, and essentially solve the safety risks of falling from high altitude and falling objects from high altitude when people pass through and materials are stacked on the crane.

[0035] 4. This method is highly versatile and can be extended to all lifting equipment that requires free surface protection, and has broad application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0068] This embodiment provides a control aspect of a protection system applicable to an open-air surface of a crane, comprising the following steps:

[0069] S1. Determine the operating speed of the air surface protection system based on the operating parameters of the lifting trolley mechanism:

[0070] According to the motor speed of the lifting trolley mechanism and the reduction ratio of the reducer, calculate the rotation speed of the storage drum of the air surface protection system, that is, the release and retraction speed of the metal protection net;

[0071] Assume that the rated speed of the running motor of the lifting trolley mechanism is n1, the reduction gear ratio of the reducer is i1, the wheel diameter of the lifting trolley mechanism is D1, and there is no pulley set, so the pulley set ratio is m1=1, then the rated operating speed of the lifting trolley mechanism is: v1=(π*D1*n1) / (i1*m1).
