Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lifting machinery, and in particular relates to a safety evaluation of a bridge crane, and is also applicable to the safety evaluation of other cranes. Technical Background

[0002] Bridge crane is a kind of lifting equipment with a wide range of uses, playing an important role in production and life. Once a safety accident occurs, it will cause great economic losses and serious consequences. Therefore, scientific and reasonable safety evaluation is particularly important.

[0003] At present, special equipment inspectors inspect the safety status of cranes according to relevant national inspection regulations at all levels, and finally give a "qualified" or "unqualified" conclusion, which determines whether the crane inspection result is qualified from an administrative perspective. In fact, due to technical means, judgment standards and other factors, the inspection results of the special inspection department cannot fully reflect the actual safety status of the crane. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention studies the safety evaluation system of cranes in more depth on the basis of studying the current inspection procedures, and provides a theoretical and practical basis for the relevant national special inspection agencies to conduct more scientific and reasonable safety evaluation and risk control. Research on the safety evaluation method of bridge cranes based on fuzzy hierarchical comprehensive analysis. The fuzzy hierarchical comprehensive analysis method is adopted, combined with the on-site inspection situation of the inspectors, based on the existing inspection process, and considering the remaining life of the structure, a comprehensive safety evaluation method for bridge cranes is established.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is: a bridge crane safety evaluation method based on fuzzy hierarchical comprehensive analysis method, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0008] 1) Select safety evaluation indicators and divide the safety indicator system into A layer, B layer and C layer. Among them, A layer is the whole bridge crane. B layer includes technical data B1, metal structure B2, parts B3, safety protection device B4, electrical system B5, performance test B6 and remaining life B7, a total of seven indicators. The C layer is further subdivided according to the B layer indicators, with a total of 29 indicator layers, such as Figure 1 As shown;

[0009] 2) Judge each evaluation index and use the nine-scale method to construct the judgment matrix U = (u ij ) n×n The meaning of each scale value of the nine-scale method is shown in Table 1. Table 1 Meaning of scale values ​​of the nine-scale method Scale value meaning 1 The relative importance between the two indicators is the same 3 One metric is slightly more important than the other 5 One indicator is significantly more important than another 7 One indicator is more important than another 9 One indicator is definitely more important than another 2,4,6,8 The middle value between two adjacent judgments reciprocal <![CDATA[The comparison of index i and index j gives u ij , and the comparison of j and i gives u ji = 1 / u ij >

[0010] 3) Determine the weight value of the evaluation index, formula is the calculation formula of the weight value. After calculation, the weight result W of the indicator is obtained.

[0011] 4) Use a one-time test to determine whether the results are consistent. The formula for a one-time test is: Where, CR is the consistency ratio. If CR < 0.1, it means that the judgment matrix meets the one-time test standard; CI is the random one-time index; λ max is the maximum characteristic root of the matrix; n is the number of pairs of comparison indicators; RI is the evaluation consistency index, and the value of the one-time index RI is selected according to Table 2; Table 2 Consistency Index RI n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 RI 0 0 0.52 0.89 1.12 1.26 1.36 1.41 1.49 1.49 1.52 n 12 13 14 15 RI 1.54 1.56 1.58 1.59

[0012] 5) By constructing a judgment matrix, calculating and passing a consistency test, the weight value of each indicator is finally obtained;

[0013] 6) With reference to the safety technical specifications related to cranes, establish the evaluation set of C-level indicators. The scoring criteria of C-level indicators are shown in Table 3; Table 3 C-level indicator scoring criteria Evaluation content Evaluation score qualified 4 Basic Qualification 3 Defective and repairable 2 Failed and cannot be repaired 1

[0014] 7) The scores of the evaluation indicators are integrated according to the corresponding weights to finally obtain the evaluation score of the entire crane. The safety level of the crane is now divided into four levels: excellent, good, medium, and poor, and the score range is divided as shown in Table 4.
