[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Fig.12 As shown, the present invention discloses an intelligent management system for a container front-lift crane, including a TBOX data acquisition terminal, wherein the signal input end of the TBOX data acquisition terminal is electrically connected to a gate box number recognition system, a vehicle-mounted box number recognition system, a vehicle-mounted weighing system, and a box area box location positioning system, respectively, and the signal output end of the TBOX data acquisition terminal is electrically connected to a task indication screen. Specifically, the BOX data acquisition terminal transmits data between the gate box number recognition system, the vehicle-mounted box number recognition system, the vehicle-mounted weighing system, the box area box location positioning system, and the container management platform through a CAN bus. The TBOX data acquisition terminal interacts with the container management platform, and the TBOX data acquisition terminal transmits the container data collected by the gate box number recognition system, the vehicle-mounted box number recognition system, the vehicle-mounted weighing system, and the box area box location positioning system to the container management platform, and receives the task data below the container management platform and transmits it to the task indication screen for display. The task data includes warehousing and packing, dispatching and moving boxes, and unloading boxes out of the warehouse, as well as controlling the gate switch.

[0043] How to install the gate container number identification system Figure 1As shown in the figure, the gate container number recognition system is responsible for the container number recognition during the container entry process. After the container number is recognized, it is uploaded to the management platform through the TBOX terminal. The platform verifies and registers the entry container number. After the verification is completed, the container is allowed to enter the yard. The principle of the gate container number recognition system is as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0044] How to install the vehicle box number recognition system Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the vehicle-mounted container number recognition system is responsible for the container number recognition during the reach stacker operation. After the reach stacker vehicle-mounted terminal receives the loading, moving and unloading tasks issued by the platform, it automatically recognizes the captured container number and uploads it to the container management platform, which verifies the consistency between the operating container number and the target container number.

[0045] How to install the vehicle weighing system Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the on-board weighing system is responsible for calculating the weight and unbalanced load information of the operating container. Through the high-precision weighing sensors installed on the four locks, the weight, unbalanced load and qualified information of the current operating container are calculated in real time, and uploaded to the container management platform in real time through the TBOX terminal. The container management platform records the current container weight, unbalanced load and qualified information.

[0046] The container area and container location positioning system is responsible for calculating the location information of the current operating container in real time.

[0047] like Fig.12 As shown in the figure, in the present invention, the container management platform includes a container entry information registration module, a container entry rack module, a container transfer scheduling module, a container exit rack module and a container exit information proofreading module. In addition, the container management platform also includes a yard operation information statistics management module for statistical management of yard operation information. Fig. 9 shown.

[0048] The container entry information registration management involves filling in the reservation entry information through the mobile phone APP, including the container number, container weight, container size, entry time, truck license plate number and other information. After the container management platform reviews it, it is allowed to enter. After the truck arrives at the designated location of the gate, the gate container number recognition system automatically identifies the entry container number and uploads it to the container management platform. After the container management platform reviews it, the gate is opened to allow entry.

[0049] For container entry and shelving management, the platform selects the container yard storage location based on the container information after entry. The yard placement rules are divided into 20-foot storage area, 40-foot storage area, empty container storage area, and loaded container storage area. After the platform matches the storage location, it sends the container shelving task to the front loader. After the driver receives the task, he moves the container with the corresponding container number to the designated location. After the container is placed, the current container location is automatically calculated and uploaded through the container area location positioning system. After the container management platform verifies that it is correct, it updates the inventory container information and the task is completed. Yard container inventory management is as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0050] In the process of moving inner or lower containers, the platform performs moving scheduling according to the current inventory container location information, moves the upper and outer containers, and issues container moving tasks to the front crane. After receiving the task, the driver moves the container in the current location to the new location. When grabbing the container, the original location is uploaded through the container area location positioning system, and the platform confirms that the old location is correct. When the container is placed after the handling is completed, the container location is uploaded again, and the platform confirms that the new location is correct, and the task is completed.

[0051] For container outbound and off-shelf management, the platform generates an outbound container list based on the yard shipping tasks entered by the dispatcher, and issues container off-shelf tasks to the front loaders. The driver moves the container in the designated location to the truck according to the task list, and uploads the current container location through the container area positioning system when grabbing the container. After the platform confirms that the location is correct, it updates the inventory container information and the off-shelf task is completed.

[0052] The container factory information is proofread. After the outgoing truck arrives at the designated location of the gate, the current outgoing container number is identified by the gate container number and uploaded to the management platform. After the platform verifies that the outgoing container number is correct, it is allowed to leave the gate.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] This embodiment discloses a working method of an intelligent management system for a container reach-lift crane based on the embodiment 1. The terminal task execution interface is as follows: Fig.11 As shown, the following steps are included:

When the truck arrives at the designated location of the gate, the gate container number recognition system automatically identifies the entry container number and uploads it to the container management platform through the TBOX data acquisition terminal. After review by the container entry information registration management module, the gate opening task information is sent to the task instruction screen, and the operator opens the gate to allow entry.

[0056] Step 2: The container entry information registration and shelving module selects the container yard storage location according to the container number collected by the onboard container number recognition system and the container weight, overload and qualified information collected by the onboard weighing system through the TBOX data acquisition terminal. After matching the storage location, the container shelving task is sent to the task indication screen through the TBOX data acquisition terminal. After receiving the task, the front loader driver moves the container with the corresponding container number to the designated area. After the container is placed, the container area location positioning system automatically calculates the current container location information through the TBOX data acquisition terminal. After the container entry information registration and shelving module verifies that it is correct, it updates the inventory container information. The container entry and warehousing process corresponding to step one and step two is as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0057] Step three, the container shifting dispatching management module, in the process of moving the inner or lower containers, performs shifting dispatching according to the current inventory container location information, shifts the upper and outer containers, and sends the container shifting task to the task indicator screen through the TBOX data acquisition terminal. After the reach loader driver receives the task, he moves the container in the current location to the new location. After receiving the task, the reach loader driver moves the container in the current location to the new location. When grabbing the container, the TBOX data acquisition terminal accepts the container number collected by the on-board container number recognition system for consistency review. In addition, when grabbing the container, the TBOX data acquisition terminal accepts the original location uploaded by the container area location positioning system. The container shifting dispatching management module confirms the old location. When the handling is completed and the container is placed, the TBOX data acquisition terminal is used again to accept the container location uploaded by the container area location positioning system. The container shifting dispatching management module confirms the new location.

[0058] Step 4: The container outbound unloading management module generates an outbound container list task based on the yard shipping task entered by the dispatcher in the container transfer scheduling management module, and sends it to the task indication screen through the TBOX data acquisition terminal. After receiving the task, the front loader driver moves the container in the specified location to the truck according to the task list, and accepts the current container location uploaded by the container area location positioning system through the TBOX data acquisition terminal when grabbing the container. The container outbound unloading management module confirms that the container location is correct and updates the inventory container information. After receiving the task, the front loader driver moves the container in the specified location to the truck according to the task list, and accepts the container number collected by the on-board container number recognition system through the TBOX data acquisition terminal when grabbing the container for consistency review.

[0059] Step 5: After the truck arrives at the designated location of the gate, the container factory information verification module automatically identifies the current container number through the gate container number recognition system and uploads it to the container management platform through the TBOX data acquisition terminal. After the container factory information verification module verifies that the container number is correct, it sends the gate opening task information to the task instruction screen, and the operator opens the gate to allow the container to leave the warehouse. The container exit and warehouse process corresponding to steps 4 and 5 is as follows: Figure 8 described.

A working method for an intelligent management system of a container reach-lift crane, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: The container entry information registration management module fills in the reservation entry information through the mobile phone APP, including the container number, container weight, container size, entry time and truck license plate number information. After being reviewed by the container management platform, it is allowed to enter. When the truck arrives at the designated location of the gate, the gate container number recognition system automatically recognizes the entry container number and uploads it to the container management platform through the data collection terminal. After the container entry information registration management module reviews it, it sends the gate opening task information to the task instruction screen, and the operator opens the gate to allow entry; The container entry information registration and shelving module selects the container yard storage location according to the container number collected by the vehicle-mounted container number recognition system and the container weight, unbalanced load and qualified information collected by the vehicle-mounted weighing system through the data acquisition terminal. After matching the storage location, the container shelving task is sent to the task indication screen through the data acquisition terminal. After receiving the task, the reach loader driver moves the container with the corresponding container number to the designated area. After the container is placed, the container area location positioning system automatically calculates the current container location information through the data acquisition terminal. After the container entry information registration and shelving module verifies that it is correct, it updates the inventory container information. The container shifting dispatching management module performs shifting dispatching according to the current inventory container location information during the process of moving inner or lower containers, shifts the upper and outer containers, and sends the container shifting task to the task indication screen through the data acquisition terminal. After receiving the task, the reach loader driver moves the container in the current location to the new location. The container outbound unloading management module generates an outbound container list task based on the yard delivery task entered by the dispatcher in the container transfer dispatch management module, and sends it to the task indication screen through the data acquisition terminal. After receiving the task, the reach loader driver moves the container in the specified location to the truck according to the task list. When grabbing the container, the data acquisition terminal accepts the current container location uploaded by the container area location positioning system. The container outbound unloading management module confirms that the container location is correct and updates the inventory container information. After the outgoing truck arrives at the designated location of the gate, the container outgoing information proofreading module automatically identifies the current outgoing container number through the gate container number recognition system and uploads it to the container management platform through the data acquisition terminal. After the container outgoing information proofreading module verifies that the outgoing container number is correct, the gate opening task information is sent to the task indication screen, and the operator opens the gate to allow outgoing container.
