Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for detecting that a container F-TR is not unlocked, and in particular to a method capable of accurately judging whether a container is completely unlocked, so as to avoid dangerous situations during lifting. Background Art
[0002] As an advanced modern transportation mode, container transportation has the characteristics of high transportation efficiency, good economic benefits and excellent service quality compared with traditional bulk transportation. It is widely used in international and domestic cargo transportation and has developed rapidly.
[0003] At present, F-TR locks are widely used to connect containers and flatbed transporters. F-TR locks have a unique eagle head structure, commonly known as "eagle head locks". Its head has a total of 4 faces that guide, lock and guide the container to drop, lock and exit. In order to ensure that the F-TR lock works, the 4 F-TR locks on the same container on the flat car are arranged with their eagle heads (upper cone direction) in the same direction at the same end and in opposite directions at both ends. After the eccentric structure of the F-TR lock core head and the F-TR lock are assembled, the outer width of the lock head is larger than the outer width of the container corner hole, which changes the movement form of the container in and out of the lock head from a single form of vertical movement to a composite form of "vertical movement + plane rotation" to lock the container.
[0004] Due to the particularity of container loading and unloading operations, when the loading volume inside the container is uneven, the container F-TR lock is not completely disengaged, resulting in accidents such as lifting the container together with the flat car, causing damage to the derailment brake valve, vehicle derailment and other serious accidents. Such accidents often cause serious damage to the container and the flat car, which not only brings huge economic losses to the railway company, but also has a great impact on the operation process of the lifting site. In order to solve the problem of F-TR lock failure to unlock and unhook warning, it is necessary to develop an efficient and reliable container F-TR lock unlocked lifting detection system and device, which can accurately monitor whether the F-TR lock is unlocked during container lifting, timely detect the unlocking of the F-TR lock, and make corresponding alarms and processing to ensure safety during container lifting.
[0005] Patent CN206192554U designs a container F-TR lock disengagement intelligent detection system based on four tension sensors connected to the container special spreader. When the deviation between the tension change value of a tension sensor and the tension change value of another or several tension sensors exceeds the set threshold, it is considered that the F-TR lock is not normally disengaged. The entire system has a simple structure, but it cannot identify the state of all four F-TR locks being locked, and the ability to identify eccentric loads is insufficient.
[0006] Patent CN218453903 installs 4 force sensors on the container spreader to monitor the loads on the four locks in real time during the lifting process. According to the size of the four loads, the relative proportional relationship and the actual gross weight range of the container, it is determined whether the F-TR lock is dragged (not disengaged) during the container lifting operation. The entire system has a simple structure, but using only tension sensors may not be able to detect other abnormal conditions that are not related to the unlocking state of the container, such as damage, tilt or instability of the container. These abnormal conditions may pose a potential threat to the safety of the lifting process. Summary of the invention
[0007] Purpose of the invention: The present invention provides a method for detecting that the F-TR of a container is not unlocked, aiming to obtain the weight, weight change rate and distance from the flatbed truck of the container when the spreader is performing lifting work through multiple sensors, and comprehensively determine whether the F-TR is unlocked, thereby avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents caused by the F-TR not being fully unlocked.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: A method for detecting that a container F-TR is not unlocked; S1. Arrange several force sensors to collect the load data P of each container spreader on the container i ; Arrange several distance sensors to collect the distance data L of each position of the container relative to the pallet i ; Arrange a timer to record the lifting time T; The ECU controller determines that if the load data P of each force sensor i If the data changes with the lifting time T, it is determined that the container lifting device starts to lift the container; S2. After determining that the container spreader starts to lift the container, the timer restarts the timing. The ECU controller determines if the distance data L i As the hoisting time T changes, it is determined that each F-TR lock has been unlocked.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the ECU controller determines the change of the load data Pi with the lifting time T as follows: determine whether the container spreader starts to bear and lift the container, set the time interval ΔT for data recording, set the critical value ΔP0 of the value change of the force sensor according to the deadweight data of the container; collect the load data Pi of the container spreader through the force sensor at intervals of ΔT i , if any load data P of the lifting time T i Compared with the weight data of the previous moment P (i-1) The difference is less than the critical value ΔP0, then it is determined that the container has not been lifted. If the load data P i If it is greater than the critical value ΔP0, it is determined that the container spreader starts to lift the container; ECU controller determines distance data L i The specific process of changes with the lifting time T is as follows: the data transmission module transmits the load data P of the force sensor to i The lifting time T is transmitted to the ECU controller, which calculates the load data P i / Change rate of hoisting time T k n ; Determine the change rate k in the ECU controller n Is it 0? If k n ≠0, the distance sensor starts to collect the distance data L between the container and the truck i ECU records the distance data at this time as Li0; ECU determines that during the process of lifting the container, any lifting time T |L i -L i0 | is less than the distance threshold ΔL0, the distance threshold ΔL0 is set according to the frame volume of the F-TR lock. If |L i -L i0 | is less than or equal to ΔL0, the ECU controller determines that the F-TR lock is not unlocked, and ends the current judgment; If |L i -L i0 | is greater than ΔL0, the ECU controller continues to determine the distance data L of the current lifting time T i Is it greater than the maximum distance critical value ΔL? max , maximum distance critical value ΔL max Set according to the height of the F-TR lock; if Li>ΔL max , the ECU controller determines that the F-TR lock has been unlocked and outputs the result.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the F-TR lock has four groups, namely, a left front F-TR lock, a left rear F-TR lock, a right front F-TR lock, and a right rear F-TR lock, which are respectively arranged at four rectangular diagonal positions of the flatbed truck; the force sensors include four groups, which are respectively arranged at four rectangular diagonal positions of the container spreader, and the four groups of force sensors include a left front force sensor, a left rear force sensor, a right front force sensor, and a right rear force sensor; the load data P iIt includes P1, P2, P3, and P4 collected by the left front force sensor, the left rear force sensor, the right front force sensor, and the right rear force sensor respectively; the distance sensor includes four groups, and the four groups of distance sensors are arranged at four rectangular diagonal positions of the cart respectively, including the left front distance sensor, the left rear distance sensor, the right front distance sensor, and the right rear distance sensor; the distance data Li includes L1, L2, L3, and L4 collected by the left front distance sensor, the left rear distance sensor, the right front distance sensor, and the right rear distance sensor respectively; The change rate kn includes k1, k2, k3, k4 obtained by calculating P1, P2, P3, P4 and the hoisting time T respectively by the ECU controller; The ECU controller determines the unlocking status of the left front F-TR lock, the left rear F-TR lock, the right front F-TR lock, and the right rear F-TR lock respectively through the aforementioned steps and records them.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the detection method also includes the detection of single-angle locking, double-angle locking, triangular locking, and four-angle locking; Among them; the ECU controller determines that if any of the left front F-TR lock, the left rear F-TR lock, the right front F-TR lock, and the right rear F-TR lock is not unlocked, then a single-angle lock reminder is output; the ECU controller determines that if any of the left front F-TR lock, the left rear F-TR lock, the right front F-TR lock, and the right rear F-TR lock is unlocked, and the other F-TR locks are not unlocked, then a triangle lock reminder is output; the ECU controller determines that if the left front F-TR lock, the left rear F-TR lock, the right front F-TR lock, and the right rear F-TR lock are all not unlocked, then a four-corner lock is output; the ECU controller determines that if any two of the left front F-TR lock, the left rear F-TR lock, the right front F-TR lock, and the right rear F-TR lock are unlocked, then a double-corner lock reminder is output.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, when the ECU controller outputs a double-angle lock, the ECU controller sequentially performs the following judgments: If the left front F-TR lock is not unlocked, then determine whether the right rear F-TR lock is unlocked. If the right rear F-TR lock is unlocked, then output a lateral lock reminder. If the right rear F-TR lock is not unlocked, then output a diagonal lock reminder. If the right front F-TR lock is not unlocked, then determine whether the left rear F-TR lock is unlocked. If the left rear F-TR lock is unlocked, then output a lateral lock reminder. If the left rear F-TR lock is not unlocked, then output a diagonal lock reminder. If the right rear F-TR lock is not unlocked, then determine whether the left front F-TR lock is unlocked. If the left front F-TR lock is unlocked, then output a lateral lock reminder. If the left front F-TR lock is not unlocked, then output a diagonal lock reminder. If the right front F-TR lock is not unlocked, it is determined whether the left rear F-TR lock is unlocked. If the left rear F-TR lock is unlocked, a lateral lock reminder is output; if the left rear F-TR lock is not unlocked, a diagonal lock reminder is output.
[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the left front distance sensor, the left rear distance sensor, the right front distance sensor, and the right rear distance sensor are installed on the anti-collision ear plate or the guide ear plate of the container spreader; the left front distance sensor, the left rear distance sensor, the right front distance sensor, and the right rear distance sensor measure the distances L1, L2, L3, and L4 between the top of the container stationary fixed by the container spreader and the plane of the flatbed truck.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention provides a method for detecting whether a container F-TR is unlocked and a lifting detection system. The method for detecting whether a container F-TR is unlocked and the lifting detection system adopt a "force measurement + distance measurement" dynamic multi-sensor fusion measurement method to determine the unlocking state of the container. Compared with the single tension detection method in the prior art, the present solution can not only detect whether the container is separated from each F-TR lock by distance measurement, but also prevent the misjudgment caused by a single force measurement, especially when the tension of the F-TR lock is the same as the load of the container, because the data of the four groups of force sensors are the same, it may be misjudged that the four groups of F-TR locks have been unlocked or not unlocked.
[0017] 2. During the container lifting process, the non-contact distance sensor is used to measure the distance change between the upper plane of the container truck / flatbed and the lower plane of the container, as well as the weight change rate detected by the force sensor. The data is transmitted to the control unit through a wired or wireless transmission device to determine whether the container is unlocked and display it in real time to detect whether there is a single-foot lock, horizontal lock, longitudinal lock, triangular lock, or four-corner lock.
[0018] 3. The present invention sets the critical value ΔP0 of the value change of the force sensor according to the deadweight data of the container, which can reduce the data error caused by the virtual position of the F-TR lock and the stretching amount of the container hoisting cable.
[0019] 4. The present invention preferentially detects whether the traction force is stably applied to the container by the rate of change of the pulling force relative to time. Compared with directly detecting whether the pulling force exceeds the threshold, the structural damage caused by excessive pulling force can be prevented. Then, the present invention detects whether the container is partially lifted while the pulling force changes stably by the rate of change of the distance relative to time. Whether the F-TR lock is locked is determined by whether it is lifted. This prevents structural damage caused by continuous pulling force output when the F-TR is not unlocked. At the same time, the data of the lifting detection method is more accurate.
[0020] 5. In view of the fact that four F-TR locks are used in general containers, the present invention designs four sets of distance sensors and force sensors, and the measuring axes of the force sensors and distance sensors are coaxial with the unlocking direction axis of the F-TR locks, so that the data transmission efficiency is higher.
[0021] 6. The present invention can judge and output different unlocking states, so as to facilitate operators to judge and adjust the on-site state of the F-TR lock in a timely manner.
[0022] 7. The present invention also additionally provides a left distance sensor and a right distance sensor located in the middle of the spreader for detecting the lifting state of the middle of the container and the lifting state relative to the ground. The detection of the distance data relative to the ground assists the detection of the lifting state, making the determination of the unlocking state more accurate; and the distance data of the midpoint position relative to the ground can also better determine the tilt state of the entire container when the four F-TR locks are not completely unlocked.

If the right front F-TR lock is not unlocked, then determine whether the left rear F-TR lock is unlocked. If the left rear F-TR lock is unlocked, then output a lateral lock reminder. If the left rear F-TR lock is not unlocked, then output a diagonal lock reminder. If the right rear F-TR lock is not unlocked, then determine whether the left front F-TR lock is unlocked. If the left front F-TR lock is unlocked, then output a lateral lock reminder. If the left front F-TR lock is not unlocked, then output a diagonal lock reminder. If the right front F-TR lock is not unlocked, it is determined whether the left rear F-TR lock is unlocked. If the left rear F-TR lock is unlocked, a lateral lock reminder is output; if the left rear F-TR lock is not unlocked, a diagonal lock reminder is output.
6. A method for detecting that a container F-TR is not unlocked as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that: The left front distance sensor, left rear distance sensor, right front distance sensor, and right rear distance sensor are installed on the anti-collision ear plate or the guide ear plate of the container spreader; the left front distance sensor, left rear distance sensor, right front distance sensor, and right rear distance sensor measure the distance L1, L2, L3, and L4 between the top of the container statically fixed by the container spreader and the plane of the flatbed truck.
7. A method for detecting that a container F-TR is not unlocked as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that: The left front force sensor, the left rear force sensor, the right front force sensor, and the right rear force sensor are installed at the locking hook support position of the container spreader relative to the container.
8. A method for detecting that a container F-TR is not unlocked as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that: The distance sensor further includes a left distance sensor located between the left front distance sensor and the left rear distance sensor; the left distance sensor measures the distance L5 from the left side of the top of the container to the ground; the left distance sensor measures the distance L6 from the right side of the top of the container to the ground; When lifting a container, the following auxiliary steps are included to determine the unlocking status of the F-TR lock: If the ECU controller determines that L i ≤ΔL max , then re-collect distance data, i=1, 2, 3, 4; If the ECU controller determines that |L i -L i0 |>ΔL max When i=1, 2, 3, 4; The ECU controller continues to collect L5 and L6, and determines whether L5-L i >ΔL f And L6-L i >ΔL f , ΔL f is the maximum critical value of the distance between the distance sensor and the ground; If the current L5-L i >ΔL f And L6-L i >ΔL f , then it is determined that all F-TR locks have been unlocked; if the current L5-L i ≤ΔL f or L6-L i ≤ΔL f , then continue to re-collect L5 and L6.
