Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tower crane safety protection, and in particular to a system and method capable of integrating multiple anti-collision systems to realize coordinated anti-collision of a group of tower cranes. Background Art

[0002] In construction, in order to meet the construction progress and operation needs, it is very common for multiple tower cranes to operate at the same time. These tower cranes often belong to different subcontractors, and the tower crane anti-collision systems selected by each subcontractor come from different brand manufacturers. Due to differences in technology research and development, product design, etc., their anti-collision systems have significant differences in communication protocols, data formats and algorithm logic.

[0003] The communication protocols of the anti-collision systems of different brands are incompatible with each other, making it impossible to exchange data smoothly between systems of different brands, just like people speaking different languages ​​cannot communicate normally, and information sharing and collaborative work cannot be achieved; the inconsistency of data formats also increases the difficulty of data integration and processing. The data collected by systems of different brands cannot be directly analyzed in a unified manner, and complex data conversion is required, which reduces work efficiency; in terms of algorithm logic, different brands have different judgment standards and early warning methods for collision risks, and it is impossible to form a unified anti-collision strategy. It is difficult to give full play to the anti-collision function during group tower operations, resulting in a significant increase in the risk of collision accidents.

[0004] At present, the existing technical solutions have failed to effectively solve the compatibility problems of anti-collision systems of different subcontractors, cannot achieve efficient collaboration among various systems, cannot meet the safety requirements of group tower operations in construction, and cannot effectively solve the compatibility and collaboration problems of anti-collision systems of different brands in the complex group tower operation environment of construction; greatly reduce the probability of collision accidents; and ensure construction safety and progress. In view of this, we propose a system and method that can integrate multiple anti-collision systems to achieve group tower collaborative anti-collision. Summary of the invention

For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0038] See also Figure 1 - Figure 6 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0039] A system capable of integrating multiple anti-collision systems to realize coordinated anti-collision of towers, including:

[0040] Cloud computing tower crane data sharing platform, building a cloud computing-based tower crane data sharing platform as the core hub of the entire group tower crane anti-collision system. Furthermore, the platform is built using cloud computing technology and has powerful computing power and storage resources. As an information hub, it can collect, store and distribute data from anti-collision systems of various brands, providing data support for collaborative anti-collision. The platform uses distributed storage technology to ensure that a large amount of tower crane operation data can be stored efficiently, and further ensure the integrity and scalability of the data.

[0041] Communication docking module, used for connecting collision avoidance systems of different brands with data sharing platforms through communication protocols to achieve real-time data upload and download. The communication docking module supports a variety of industrial communication protocols, including but not limited to Modbus, CAN bus or TCP / IP protocol;

[0042] The data storage management module is responsible for classifying, storing and managing the data uploaded from the anti-collision systems of each tower crane. The stored data includes the tower crane location information (using the satellite positioning system to accurately obtain the center coordinates of each tower crane), tower crane height, boom length, working status (including trolley amplitude, boom angle, hook height and other detailed information) and operating status (such as start, stop, running direction and speed, etc.). The data storage management module adopts distributed storage technology to support dynamic expansion and redundant backup of data.

[0043] Intelligent analysis and early warning module, the early warning strategy includes collision possibility classification, which is divided into early warning level and alarm level. Based on the rich data stored in the platform, it further runs advanced intelligent analysis algorithms. The algorithms conduct comprehensive analysis on the positions and motion trajectory predictions of multiple tower cranes, further, predict potential collision risks in advance. Once the collision data reaches the alarm threshold, it immediately generates early warning information and accurately pushes it to the corresponding anti-collision system. The anti-collision systems of various brands push the alarm information and data from the platform to the tower cranes of their respective brands in real time. Furthermore, the tower cranes receive the early warning information issued by the platform to execute alarm processing, and at the same time feedback the alarm execution status to the platform.

[0044] A method for integrating multiple anti-collision systems to achieve group-tower collaborative anti-collision, comprising the following steps:

[0045] S1. System initialization. The data sharing platform provides a communication protocol. Each tower crane anti-collision system is connected to the data sharing platform. Furthermore, the communication between the data sharing platform and the anti-collision systems of various brands is encrypted to ensure data security. Each tower crane involved in the construction is equipped with an anti-collision system. The relevant technical parameters of the tower crane are entered into the anti-collision system. Furthermore, the tower crane is registered on its anti-collision system platform and the relevant information of the tower crane is sent, including: global positioning coordinate information of the tower crane, tower crane height, boom length, obstacle parameters, working status and operation status.

[0046] S2. Data collection and upload. During the operation of the tower crane, each brand of anti-collision system uploads the real-time operation data of the tower crane to the anti-collision system platform of the brand through the communication module at a preset time interval (for example, every 100 milliseconds). Furthermore, the anti-collision system platform sends the data to the data storage management module of the data sharing platform. When uploading data, the communication module performs a preliminary check on the data to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. If any abnormal data is found, the anti-collision system of the corresponding tower crane is notified in time to retransmit the data or troubleshoot the fault.

[0047] S3, intelligent analysis and early warning, the intelligent analysis and early warning module analyzes and processes the data updated on the platform at a high frequency (such as every 100 milliseconds); uses technical means such as spatial geometry calculation, kinematic model and machine learning algorithm to further monitor and predict the operation status of multiple tower cranes in real time. When the analysis results show that there is a risk of collision, further, according to the preset early warning strategy (divided into early warning and alarm levels according to the possibility of collision), early warning information is generated, and the early warning information is sent to the anti-collision system of the relevant tower crane through the communication docking module;

[0048] S4. Execution and feedback of anti-collision measures. After receiving the warning information, each tower crane anti-collision system will start the corresponding anti-collision measures according to its own anti-collision strategy, such as issuing sound and light alarms, limiting the swing speed of the crane arm, adjusting the trolley amplitude, suspending the lifting of the hook, etc. At the same time, the execution of the anti-collision measures will be fed back to the data sharing platform so that the platform can evaluate and subsequently optimize the overall anti-collision effect. If an abnormal situation occurs during the execution process (such as the anti-collision action is not effective), the platform will promptly notify the relevant personnel to conduct manual intervention and troubleshooting.

[0049] S5. System optimization and update. Regularly conduct in-depth analysis of the operating data of the data sharing platform, summarize the anti-collision experience and problems in the group tower operation process, and optimize and update the intelligent analysis algorithm, early warning strategy and the compatibility of the communication docking module according to the analysis results. Further, in order to continuously improve the overall performance and reliability of the system, the spatial analysis model is revised according to historical data, and the classification standards of the early warning level are dynamically adjusted.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the project preparation stage: first build a cloud computing tower crane data sharing platform, give a communication protocol, further, each tower crane anti-collision system platform is data-connected with the data sharing platform, and then each tower crane involved in the construction is installed with an anti-collision system (including a system host and corresponding sensors), the sensors include angle sensors, amplitude sensors, height sensors, and other sensors, the tower crane related technical parameters are entered into the anti-collision system, registered on its anti-collision system platform, and tower crane related information is sent, the information includes: tower crane global positioning coordinate information, tower crane height, boom length, obstacle parameters, working status (including trolley amplitude, boom angle, hook height and other detailed information) and operation status (such as start, stop, operation direction and speed, etc.).

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, during the construction operation stage: after each tower crane starts operation, its anti-collision system establishes a connection with the data sharing platform according to the set communication protocol, and starts uploading data in real time. For example, the brand A1 anti-collision system uploads the position coordinates (longitude X1, latitude Y1), height Z1, boom length L1, trolley amplitude D1, boom angle A1, hook height H1 and operation status information (such as start, stop, operation direction and speed, etc.) of the 1# tower crane in the system to the data sharing platform every 100 milliseconds;

[0052] After the data sharing platform receives the data, the data storage management module classifies and stores the data, and the intelligent analysis and warning module immediately analyzes the data. Assume that at a certain moment, the platform detects that the movement trajectories of the 1# tower crane and the 2# tower crane with the brand A2 anti-collision system have a cross trend, and the distance between the two is gradually approaching the safety threshold;

[0053] After precise calculation and judgment, the intelligent analysis and warning module generates warning information and sends it to the anti-collision systems of tower cranes 1# and 2# respectively;

[0054] After receiving the warning, the brand A1 anti-collision system sends the warning information to the 1# tower crane, which then initiates corresponding anti-collision measures based on its own anti-collision strategy (such as sound and light alarm, limiting the boom rotation speed, adjusting the trolley amplitude, suspending the hook lifting, etc.). Similarly, the 2# tower crane that receives the warning information initiates corresponding anti-collision measures based on its own anti-collision strategy.

[0055] After executing anti-collision measures, the anti-collision systems of the two tower cranes will feed back the execution results to the data sharing platform. The platform will evaluate the feedback information. If any abnormality is found in the execution process (such as the 1# tower crane fails to successfully issue an audible and visual alarm), the platform will immediately send a fault information notification to the 1# tower crane and record the relevant fault information for subsequent analysis and system optimization.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, during the system maintenance and optimization stage: the operation data of the data sharing platform is automatically comprehensively analyzed to count key indicators such as the number of warnings of each tower crane and the success rate of the execution of anti-collision measures;

[0057] Based on the results of data analysis, the intelligent analysis algorithm is optimized and adjusted. For example, if it is found that false warnings often occur in the operation of multiple tower cranes in a certain area, the spatial analysis model of the area is refined and revised; the warning strategy is improved, and further, the warning level classification standards are dynamically adjusted according to different construction stages and operating environments; the communication module is upgraded to enhance compatibility with emerging brand anti-collision systems or new communication protocols.

[0058] Subsequently, through the continuous operation and continuous optimization of the above-mentioned system design and implementation methods, the compatibility and collaborative work issues of anti-collision systems of different brands can be effectively solved in the complex construction tower operation environment, greatly reducing the probability of collision accidents and ensuring construction safety and progress.

[0059] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
