Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminal operation, and in particular to an approach bridge type container terminal. Background Art
[0002] In order to ensure the safety of the transportation process and prevent the container from moving / dumping, the container is fixed during transportation. Locking pins can be installed at the four corners of the bottom of the container, and the upper and lower containers are connected by locking pins (manual or semi-automatic locking pins). When the existing container terminal loads and unloads the berthed container ship, the locking pins are loaded and unloaded with the container. When loading, the container with the locking pin is moved from the berth of the terminal to the container ship through the shore container crane (quay crane); when unloading, the container with the locking pin is moved from the container ship to the berth of the terminal through the quay crane.
[0003] The disassembly and assembly of the lock pins of the existing approach bridge type yard (i.e. the yard is arranged behind the land, and the front of the wharf and the yard are connected by the approach bridge) are divided into two methods: disassembly and assembly on the bridge and disassembly and assembly at the front of the wharf. The disassembly and assembly on the bridge needs to be carried out on a fixed platform set up on the approach bridge. The internal container truck (the container truck transported on the approach bridge between the front of the wharf and the yard) stops on the fixed platform on the approach bridge during transportation to disassemble and assemble the lock pins. The setting of the fixed platform occupies the traffic lane of the internal container truck on the approach bridge, reducing the traffic efficiency of vehicles on the approach bridge; the common method of disassembly and assembly at the front of the wharf is to carry out it on the lane below the quay crane. Its advantage is to ensure the traffic efficiency of vehicles on the approach bridge, but there are safety hazards due to the mixing of people and motorcycles in the same area. Summary of the invention
[0004] The problem solved by the invention is: how to realize the disassembly and assembly of container lock pins safely and efficiently without reducing the traffic efficiency of the approach bridge, so as to optimize the overall layout of the approach bridge type container terminal.
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an approach bridge type container terminal, comprising: a front working platform, a yard and a plurality of approach bridges, wherein the approach bridges are connected between the front working platform and the yard, and the plurality of approach bridges are spaced apart along the length extension direction of the front working platform or the yard, the approach bridge is provided with a traffic lane area extending along its length direction and two working lanes extending along its length direction, the traffic lane area is used for IGV passage, the two working lanes are respectively located on both sides of the traffic lane area, the working lane is spaced apart along its length direction with a plurality of pairs of working areas, each pair of working areas are relatively arranged on both sides of the working lane, the approach bridge is widened at each pair of working areas for arranging the working areas, and the working areas are provided with lock stations for disassembling and assembling container lock pins.
[0006] Optionally, the locking station is an intelligent disassembly and assembly locking station, or the locking station is a manual disassembly and assembly locking station.
[0007] Optionally, the traffic lane area includes a plurality of IGV lanes arranged side by side, wherein at least one IGV lane is a tidal lane.
[0008] Optionally, a forklift lane is provided on one side of the two working lanes away from the traffic lane area, and the forklift lane includes multiple lane sections connected between multiple working areas, and the forklift lane is used for forklifts to transport locking pins between the locking stations.
[0009] Optionally, a forklift lane area is provided on the land side of the front work platform along its length direction, and the forklift lane is connected to the forklift lane area. A pin lock box is provided on the land side of the front work platform close to one end of the several approach bridges, and the pin lock box contains several pin lock barrels, and the pin lock barrels are used to place several locking pins connecting containers. The several pin lock boxes are evenly spaced on the land side of the forklift lane area along the length direction of the front work platform.
[0010] Optionally, the forklift lane area includes one lane.
[0011] Optionally, the traffic lane area of the approach bridge at both ends extending along the length direction also includes a plurality of artificial lanes, and the plurality of artificial lanes are arranged on the sea side of the plurality of IGV lanes arranged side by side, and a separation zone extending along the length direction is provided between the plurality of artificial lanes and the plurality of IGV lanes arranged side by side.
[0012] Optionally, the front work platform is provided with an artificial lane area and an IGV lane area in sequence along the length direction from the sea side to the land side, a guardrail is provided between the artificial lane area and the IGV lane area, the artificial lane area is connected with the artificial lane, and the IGV lane area is connected with the IGV lane.
[0013] Optionally, the artificial lane area includes a two-way lane.
[0014] Optionally, the IGV lane area includes five lanes.
[0015] The beneficial effect of the approach bridge type container terminal of the present invention is that the length extension direction of the front working platform and the yard is parallel to the coastline, which is convenient for seamless docking of marine transportation and land yard. The approach bridge is connected between the front working platform and the yard, and several approach bridges are evenly spaced along the length extension direction of the front working platform or the yard. It ensures multiple path selections from the yard to the front working platform, and improves the flexibility of loading and unloading operations. The approach bridge is provided with a traffic lane area extending along the length direction and two operation lanes extending along the length direction. The traffic lane area is specially used for IGV (automatic guided vehicle) to pass, ensuring the automation and efficiency of logistics transportation. The operation lane is used for the operation of disassembling and assembling the lock pin of the container. The operation lane is evenly spaced along the length direction, and each pair of operation areas is relatively arranged on both sides of the operation lane.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an approach bridge type container terminal provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a front working platform 2, a yard 3 and a plurality of approach bridges 1, wherein the approach bridge 1 is connected between the front working platform 2 and the yard 3, and the plurality of approach bridges 1 are spaced apart along the length extension direction of the front working platform 2 or the yard 3, and the approach bridge 1 is provided with a traffic lane area 11 extending along its length direction and two working lanes 12 extending along its length direction, the traffic lane area 11 is used for IGV passage, the two working lanes 12 are respectively located on both sides of the traffic lane area 11, and the working lane 12 is spaced apart along its length direction and provided with a plurality of pairs of working areas 121, each pair of working areas 121 are relatively arranged on both sides of the working lane 12, the approach bridge 1 is widened at each pair of working areas 121 for arranging the working areas 121, and a lock station 122 for disassembling and assembling container lock pins is provided in the working area 121.
[0026] Specifically, the length extension direction of the front operating platform 2 and the yard 3 can be parallel to the coastline to ensure the coordination between the terminal operation and the coastline direction. The approach bridge 1 is a key channel connecting the front operating platform 2 and the yard 3. Its number and layout have been carefully designed to ensure the smooth transportation of containers between the two. A traffic lane area 11 and two operation lanes 12 are set on the approach bridge 1. The traffic lane area 11 is mainly used for the automated transportation of IGVs. IGVs can quickly and accurately complete the container handling tasks, greatly improving the transportation efficiency of the terminal. The two operation lanes 12 are respectively located on both sides of the traffic lane area 11. On the operation lanes 12, several pairs of operation areas 121 are evenly spaced along the length direction, providing a special place for the disassembly and assembly of the lock pins. Each pair of operation areas 121 is relatively arranged on both sides of the operation lane 12, and is used to disassemble and assemble the lock pins at the bottom of both sides of the container, respectively, to ensure the convenience and efficiency of the disassembly and assembly of the lock pins. Each work area 121 can extend to the outside of the work lane 12 (the outside is the side away from the center position of the work lane 12 in the width direction) to provide sufficient space and equipment to support the disassembly and assembly of the lock pins. At the same time, the approach bridge 1 is widened at each pair of work areas 121 to arrange the work areas 121, so that the work areas 121 will not occupy the space of the traffic lane or hinder the normal passage of the IGV on the traffic lane. In the work area 121, a lock station 122 for disassembling and assembling the container lock pins is provided, so that the disassembly and assembly of the lock pins can be carried out in a professional and safe environment. When the container is loaded and unloaded to the transport ship or the yard 3 by the IGV, the disassembly and assembly of the lock pins will be completed in these work areas 121.
[0027] In this embodiment, a special traffic lane area 11 is set up for IGVs to pass, and a special operation lane 12 is set up for IGVs loaded with containers and requiring the removal and installation of lock pins to perform the removal and installation of lock pins, thereby avoiding the interference of the removal and installation of lock pins on logistics transportation. The operation lane 12 on the approach bridge 1 is evenly spaced along the length direction and is provided with a number of pairs of operation areas 121, which can be used to remove and install lock pins on multiple containers at the same time. Each operation area 121 can extend to the outside of the operation lane 12. Specifically, the approach bridge 1 is partially widened to arrange a number of operation areas 121, so as to avoid the operation areas 121 affecting the layout space of the traffic lane, while saving the construction cost of the approach bridge 1. A lock station 122 is set up in the operation area 121, so that the removal and installation of lock pins can be carried out without occupying the traffic lane area 11, which not only ensures the unobstructed traffic lane, but also meets the space requirements for the removal and installation of lock pins, while controlling the construction cost of the approach bridge 1.
[0028] Optionally, the locking station 122 is an intelligent assembly and disassembly locking station, or the locking station 122 is a manual assembly and disassembly locking station.
[0029] Specifically, on the operation lane 12 of the approach bridge container terminal, the lock station 122 is a key device for disassembling and assembling the container lock pins, and its type can be selected according to actual needs. Specifically, the lock station 122 can be an intelligent disassembly and assembly lock station or a manual disassembly and assembly lock station. The intelligent disassembly and assembly lock station (such as a robotic arm) uses advanced automation technology to achieve fast and accurate disassembly and assembly of the lock pins. This lock station is usually equipped with high-precision sensors, control systems and disassembly and assembly mechanisms, which can automatically identify the position, specifications and status of the lock pins on the container, and accurately control the movement trajectory and strength of the disassembly and assembly mechanism based on this information. The intelligent disassembly and assembly lock station 122 not only improves the operating efficiency, but also reduces the labor intensity and safety risks of the operators. At the same time, in order to facilitate the installation of the relevant equipment of the intelligent disassembly and assembly lock station, the width of the corresponding operating area 121 is relatively wide. The manual disassembly and assembly lock station relies on the skills and experience of the operator to complete the disassembly and assembly of the lock pins. This lock station is usually equipped with professional disassembly and assembly tools and auxiliary equipment, such as lifting platforms, lighting devices, etc., to improve operating efficiency and safety. Manual disassembly and assembly lock stations are suitable for docks or temporary work sites that do not require high automation, and also provide more employment opportunities and skills improvement opportunities for operators. The width of the work area corresponding to the manual disassembly and assembly lock station is relatively narrow. During the construction of the approach bridge 1, the width of the work area 121 can be set to a relatively wide range, which is convenient for actual selection of manual lock stations and intelligent lock stations according to needs.
[0030] In this optional embodiment, two types of lock stations 122 are provided for selection, namely, intelligent disassembly and assembly lock stations and manual disassembly and assembly lock stations, so that the terminal can flexibly select the most suitable type of lock station 122 according to actual needs, cost budget, technical level and other factors. For example, in a terminal that pursues high efficiency and high automation, an intelligent disassembly and assembly lock station can be selected; and in a terminal with low labor costs or low automation requirements, a manual disassembly and assembly lock station can be selected.
[0031] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the traffic lane area 11 includes a plurality of IGV lanes 111 arranged side by side, wherein at least one IGV lane 111 is a tidal lane.
[0032] Specifically, in the traffic lane area 11 of the approach bridge container terminal, in order to further improve the traffic efficiency and resource utilization efficiency of IGV, several IGV lanes 111 arranged side by side are set. These lanes are independent of each other and can handle the traffic needs of multiple IGVs in parallel, thereby ensuring the rapid and efficient transportation of containers between the yard 3 and the front work platform 2. At the same time, in order to cope with the changes in traffic flow and improve the traffic capacity of the lane, at least one IGV lane 111 is designed as a tidal lane. The characteristic of the tidal lane is that it can flexibly adjust its traffic direction according to the changes in traffic flow. When the traffic flow in a certain direction increases, the tidal lane can temporarily change the traffic direction to alleviate the traffic pressure in that direction, so that the traffic capacity of the IGV lane 111 is more flexible and efficient, and can cope with various complex traffic conditions. Specifically, the control system of the tidal lane will analyze and predict based on real-time traffic data to determine whether the traffic direction of the tidal lane needs to be adjusted. When adjustment is required, the control system will send instructions to the IGVs on the tidal lane to guide them to travel in the new traffic direction. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of IGV, corresponding navigation signs, sensors, control systems and other facilities will be set up on the tidal lane to ensure that the IGV can travel along the lane accurately and efficiently.
[0033] In this optional embodiment, the IGV lanes 111 arranged side by side can handle the traffic needs of multiple IGVs in parallel, thereby significantly improving the traffic efficiency. At the same time, the setting of the tidal lane enables the IGV lane 111 to flexibly adjust the traffic direction according to the changes in traffic flow, further improving the traffic capacity of the lane. The introduction of the tidal lane makes the resource utilization of the IGV lane 111 more flexible and efficient. When the traffic flow is small, the tidal lane can be used as a spare lane to deal with emergencies or future traffic growth; when the traffic flow is large, the tidal lane can temporarily change the direction of travel to alleviate traffic pressure, making the resource utilization of the IGV lane 111 more sufficient and reasonable. In this embodiment, the traffic direction of each IGV lane 111 can also be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure the vehicle circulation efficiency of the approach bridge 1.
[0034] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, a forklift lane 13 is provided on one side of the two working lanes 12 away from the traffic lane area 11 . The forklift lane 13 includes multiple lane sections connected between multiple working areas 121 . The forklift lane 13 is used for forklifts to transport locking pins between locking stations 122 .
[0035] Specifically, during the operation of the container, when unloading the ship, the operators on the ship will first open the locking pins connecting the two connected layers of containers, and then the container crane will move the container equipped with the locking pins from the ship to the front working platform 2 of the dock, and then the IGV will transport the container equipped with the locking pins from the front working platform 2 to the yard 3 through the approach bridge 1. When the IGV passes the approach bridge 1, it enters the working lane 12 from the IGV lane 111, and at the lock station 122 in the two opposite working areas 121 on the working lane 12, the operators or the mechanical arm will remove the locking pins on both sides of the container from the bottom corners respectively, and store the removed locking pins in the lock station 122, so as to facilitate the use of the container during loading. During loading, when the IGV transports the container from the yard 3 to the front operating platform 2 through the approach bridge 1, the IGV enters the operating lane 12 from the IGV lane 111, and at the lock station 122 in the two opposite operating areas 121 on the operating lane 12, the operators or mechanical arms respectively install the lock pins on both sides of the container at the bottom corners of the container, and then transport the container with the lock pins to the front operating platform 2 of the dock, and then transport it to the container transport ship through the shore container crane (quay crane), and the operators on the ship connect the two layers of containers together through the lock pins. In addition to being used for container disassembly and assembly operations, the lock station 122 is also used to store lock pins. When the lock pins in the lock station 122 are insufficient, the forklift transports the lock pins between the lock stations 122 through the forklift lane 13, and transports the lock pins at the lock station 122 with a large stock of lock pins to the lock station 122 with insufficient stock of lock pins. The forklift lane 13 is located on the side of the working lane 12 away from the traffic lane area 11, ensuring that the forklift does not interfere with the normal driving of the IGV when carrying the lock pin. At the same time, the connectivity between the forklift lane 13 and each working area 121 ensures that the forklift can smoothly carry the lock pin from one lock station 122 to another lock station 122.
[0036] In this optional embodiment, the travel direction of the working lane 12 can be adjusted according to the berthing direction of the ship, that is, the lock stations 122 on the two working lanes 12 on the approach bridge 1 can both be used to install lock pins, or both can be used to remove lock pins, or one can be used to install lock pins and the other can be used to remove lock pins. In actual use, according to the number and inventory of lock pins required by each lock station 122, a forklift is required to transport lock pins between each lock station 122. The setting of the forklift lane 13 enables the forklift to efficiently transport lock pins between the lock stations 122 without crossing the IGV lane 111 or waiting for the IGV to pass, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the entire terminal. Forklifts and IGVs use different lanes respectively, avoiding traffic conflicts and congestion, ensuring that both IGVs and forklifts can travel smoothly, and improving the overall traffic fluency of the terminal.
[0037] Alternatively, if Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a forklift lane area 21 is provided on the land side of the front work platform 2 along its length direction, and the forklift lane 13 is connected to the forklift lane area 21. A pin lock box 22 is provided on the land side of the front work platform 2 near one end of the plurality of approach bridges 1. The pin lock box 22 contains a plurality of pin lock barrels 23, and the pin lock barrels 23 are used to place locking pins. The plurality of pin lock boxes 22 are evenly spaced on the land side of the forklift lane area 21 along the length direction of the front work platform 2.
[0038] Specifically, the pin lock box 22 provides a safe storage environment for the lock pins, and the pin lock barrel 23 is inside the pin lock box 22 for placing the lock pins for connecting the container. During the operation, if the lock pins in the nearby lock stations 122 are insufficient, the forklift can enter the forklift lane area 21 of the front work platform 2 through the forklift lane 13, and carry the pin lock barrel 23 containing the lock pins from the pin lock box 22 to the required lock station 122.
[0039] In this optional embodiment, the forklift lane area 21 ensures a smooth connection between the forklift and the front work platform 2, which helps to reduce the turning and waiting time of the forklift in carrying the pin lock barrel 23, thereby improving the overall work efficiency. By arranging multiple pin lock boxes 22 on the land side of the front work platform 2, the staff can more conveniently obtain the lock pin, reducing the time of searching for the lock pin, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0040] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the forklift lane area 21 includes one lane.
[0041] Specifically, the forklift moves back and forth between the lock stations 122 of the approach bridge 1, and between the lock stations 122 of the approach bridge 1 and the pin lock box 22 on the nearby front work platform 2, to carry the pin lock barrel 23 containing the lock pin. The operation of the forklift is simple, and does not require a large range of back and forth movement. One forklift lane is sufficient to meet the operation needs of the forklift.
[0042] In this optional embodiment, within the limited operating area of the front work platform 2, a single forklift lane is sufficient to meet the driving needs of the forklift, which can more effectively utilize the space, avoid redundancy and waste between lanes, and ensure smooth operation.
[0043] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the traffic lane area 11 of the approach bridge 1 at both ends extending along the length direction also includes a plurality of artificial lanes 113, and the plurality of artificial lanes 113 are arranged on the sea side of a plurality of IGV lanes 111 arranged side by side. A separation zone 112 extending along the length direction is provided between the plurality of artificial lanes 113 and the plurality of IGV lanes 111 arranged side by side.
[0044] Specifically, in the operation mode of the automated yard 3, usually the approach bridge 1 and the front work platform 2 are both operated automatically by IGV. However, when special items, such as dangerous goods or oversized items, are transported on the berthed ship, they need to be transported by manual vehicles to ensure the stability of transportation. In order to meet the needs of manual vehicle transportation, a number of manual lanes 113 are set in the middle of the traffic lane area 11 of the approach bridge 1 at both ends extending along the length direction in the width direction. Usually, there are two lanes in both directions. The manual vehicle enters the front work platform 2 from the manual lane 113 of the approach bridge 1 at one end, and then the shore container crane (quay crane) moves the objects from the ship to the manual vehicle, and then the manual vehicle drives out of the front work platform 2 to the yard 3 from the manual lane 113 of the approach bridge 1 at the other end.
[0045] In this optional embodiment, the parallel arrangement of the manual lane 113 and the IGV lane 111 allows manual vehicles and IGV vehicles to travel in the traffic lane area 11 at the same time without interfering with each other, greatly improving the operation efficiency and shortening the handling time of containers or other goods. The setting of the isolation belt 112 effectively prevents potential conflicts between manual vehicles and IGV vehicles and reduces the safety risks of the traffic lane area 11.
[0046] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the front work platform 2 is provided with an artificial lane area 24 and an IGV lane area 25 in sequence from the sea side to the land side, a guardrail 26 is provided between the artificial lane area 24 and the IGV lane area 25, the artificial lane area 24 is connected to the artificial lane 113, and the IGV lane area 25 is connected to the IGV lane 111.
[0047] Specifically, when a manual vehicle is required to enter the front working platform 2, the manual vehicle enters the manual lane area 24 of the front working platform 2 through the manual lane 113 of the approach bridge 1 at one end, and the IGV enters the IGV lane area 25 of the front working platform 2 through the IGV lane 111 of the approach bridge 1. In order to cooperate with the approach bridge 1 and the front working platform 2, a lane for manual vehicles to pass is provided along the outer periphery of the yard 3 on the yard 3. The manual vehicle enters the manual lane 113 of the approach bridge 1 at one end of the yard 3 through the lane of the yard 3, and then enters the manual lane area 24 of the front working platform 2 to work. After completing the work, the manual vehicle enters the manual lane 113 of the approach bridge 1 at the other end of the yard 3 through the manual lane area 24 of the front working platform 2, and then exits the yard 3 through the lane for manual vehicles in the yard 3. At the same time, a number of internal container truck lanes for IGVs to travel are also provided in the yard 3 corresponding to the approach bridge 1.
[0048] In this optional embodiment, the zoning layout of the manual lane area 24 and the IGV lane area 25 allows manual vehicles and IGVs to operate in parallel without interfering with each other, greatly improving the operating efficiency and shortening the handling time of containers or other goods. The provision of the guardrail 26 effectively prevents potential conflicts between manual vehicles and IGVs, and reduces the operating risks of the front work platform 2. The connectivity between the manual lane area 24 and the manual lane 113, and the IGV lane area 25 and the IGV lane 111 ensures the smooth operation of the entire terminal. Manual vehicles can enter or leave the front work platform 2 through the manual lane area 24, while IGV vehicles can efficiently shuttle between the front work platform 2 and other operating areas through the IGV lane area 25.
[0049] Optionally, the artificial lane area 24 includes a two-way lane.
[0050] Specifically, in the operation mode of the automated terminal, manual vehicles only need to enter the front operating platform 2 from the yard 3 through the approach bridge 1 to perform operations in very rare cases. Therefore, the manual lane area 24 is set as a two-way two-lane, which can accommodate two vehicles traveling in opposite directions at the same time, which not only meets the traffic needs of manual vehicles in rare cases, ensures the efficient flow of manual vehicles, but also makes full use of the space resources of the front operating platform 2.
[0051] In this optional embodiment, within the limited space of the front workbench 2, the setting of two-way two-lane fully utilizes the space resources of the work area, which not only meets the traffic needs of manual vehicles, but also ensures the cleanliness and orderliness of the work area.
[0052] Optionally, the IGV lane area 25 includes five lanes.
[0053] Specifically, with five lanes, IGV vehicles can flexibly choose driving routes and speeds according to operational requirements. Through advanced scheduling systems and traffic management strategies, IGV vehicles can be ensured to shuttle efficiently and orderly between lanes, reducing waiting time and conflicts. At the same time, it also provides more choices and possibilities, allowing IGV vehicles to cope with different operating scenarios and emergencies. The five-lane setting also makes full use of the spatial resources of the frontier work station 2. Through reasonable lane division and traffic management strategies, IGV vehicles can be ensured to operate efficiently and orderly, reducing resource waste and conflicts. At the same time, combined with automation and intelligent systems such as navigation systems, obstacle avoidance systems and communication systems, the position, speed and status of IGV vehicles can be monitored in real time, and dynamically adjusted and optimized according to operational requirements.
[0054] In this optional embodiment, within the limited space of the front work platform 2, the setting of five lanes fully utilizes the spatial resources of the operating area of the front work platform 2. Through reasonable lane division and traffic management strategies, it can ensure that IGV vehicles operate efficiently and orderly, reducing resource waste and conflicts. The five-lane IGV lane area 25 provides more options and possibilities, allowing IGV vehicles to flexibly adjust their routes and speeds according to operational requirements, which helps to cope with different operational scenarios and emergencies, and improves the adaptability and robustness of the overall operation.
