Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of special transportation equipment for water conservancy and hydropower projects, and specifically to a large-sized penstock intelligent transport vehicle and its usage method. Background Technique

[0002] In water conservancy and hydropower projects, large-sized penstocks (with a diameter of 3 meters to 6 meters and a length of 3.5 meters to 5 meters) are core components of the water diversion system. Their transportation needs to overcome technical problems such as being over-wide, over-high, and having an unstable center of gravity. The traditional method is to use a crane to hoist the penstock onto a flatbed transport vehicle and then fix it with electric welding or rigging. After arriving at the destination, the fixing is removed and the penstock is hoisted off the vehicle. This method of penstock transportation has a high center of gravity, requires a high level of road flatness, has poor stability in the fixing method, a large amount of loading and unloading work, and requires the assistance of a large crane. When loading and unloading, 3 to 4 people need to cooperate. Among them, 1 person operates the chassis lifting, rear axle rotation, hydraulic jacking, etc. at the trailer, 1 person drives the tractor, and 1 to 2 people observe and direct. It has the following defects: (1) Poor fixing stability: The steel pipe is only simply tied and fixed, and it is easy to shift or even overturn due to the bumps during driving, and it requires an extremely high level of road flatness; (2) Low loading and unloading efficiency: It depends on manual operation of the chassis lifting, rear axle rotation, and jacking mechanism, which is difficult to coordinate, and it is easy to cause accidents due to signal errors; (3) High safety risk: There is a lack of real-time status monitoring, and it is difficult to give early warnings in time when the center of gravity of the steel pipe shifts, the vehicle rolls over, or rubs against height-limiting obstacles; (4) Insufficient adaptability: The rear axle of the existing transport vehicle cannot be rotated and adjusted, it is difficult to enter the interior of the steel pipe for loading and unloading, and it depends on auxiliary equipment.

[0003] Although existing patents (such as ZL201110026225.0) have optimized some problems through the structure of a special trailer, there are still bottlenecks such as low intelligence level, insufficient stability of the hydraulic system, and complex operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a transportation solution that integrates intelligent monitoring, automated operation, and structural innovation to improve safety, efficiency, and working condition adaptability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a large-sized penstock intelligent transport vehicle and its usage method, which solve the core problems of the traditional transportation method such as low efficiency, high risk, and poor adaptability, and provide an efficient, safe, and economical solution for the transportation of large-sized penstocks. The technical solution is as follows: A large-sized penstock intelligent transport vehicle includes a tractor head, a trapezoidal trailer frame, a jacking mechanism, a fixing mechanism, a rear axle slewing mechanism, a rear axle, auxiliary wheel B, auxiliary wheel A, a hydraulic system, an electric control operation panel, and an intelligent monitoring system; The front end of the trapezoidal trailer is connected to the tractor head through a traction connection disc; the jacking mechanism is arranged on the trapezoidal trailer and is used to drive the vertical lifting of the penstock through a hydraulic system; the fixing mechanism is also arranged on the trapezoidal trailer and is used to fix the penstock through a hydraulic system drive; The rear axle is connected to the lower part of the tail of the trapezoidal trailer through a rear axle slewing mechanism; the rear axle slewing mechanism includes a slewing component and a locking pin driven by a hydraulic system, and is used to drive the rear axle to rotate 90° around the vertical axis, and can lock the rear axle in the transportation state so that the tire connection line is perpendicular to the vehicle body axis, or unlock the rear axle in the loading and unloading state so that the tire axis is parallel to the vehicle body axis to enter the inside of the penstock; The auxiliary wheel B and the auxiliary wheel A are arranged one in front of the other below the middle of the trapezoidal trailer, and the lifting of the auxiliary wheel B and the auxiliary wheel A is controlled by a lifting hydraulic system, so that they work together with the rear axle, and alternately jack up the trailer frame during the loading and unloading process, so that the rear axle tires leave the ground and enter the inside of the penstock; The intelligent monitoring system includes a sensor group, a camera group and an intelligent monitoring computer, which real-time monitors the posture, force, vehicle speed and obstacles of the transport vehicle, and realizes automatic operation and alarm prompt through an electric control operation panel.

[0005] A method for using a large-scale penstock intelligent transport vehicle includes the following steps: Loading steps: Step 1: Align the transport vehicle with the penstock through the loading, unloading and penstock monitoring rear view camera group; Step 2: Start the hydraulic system, lower the auxiliary wheel A to jack up the frame, and lift the rear axle so that the rear wheels reach the suspended height; Step 3: Unlock the rear axle slewing mechanism, drive the rear axle to rotate 90° and lock it; Step 4: Reverse the transport vehicle so that the rear axle and the auxiliary wheel B enter the penstock; Step 5: Alternately lower the auxiliary wheel B and lift the auxiliary wheel A until the rear axle completely passes through the penstock; Step 6: Swing the rear axle to the driving direction and lock it; Step 7: Jack up the front jacking mechanism and the rear jacking mechanism, adjust the height of the penstock and fix it; Step 8: Operate the front fixing mechanism, the rear fixing mechanism and the rear limiting mechanism to lock the position of the penstock; Unloading steps: Perform the opposite operation to the loading steps, and exit the penstock through the alternate support of the auxiliary wheels and the slewing of the rear axle.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The large-scale penstock intelligent transport vehicle and its using method of the present invention have the following significant advantages compared with the traditional technology: 1) Efficient and convenient operation: By integrating the control function of the hydraulic system through an electric control operation panel, a single driver can complete the entire loading and unloading process (traditionally requiring 3 to 4 people to cooperate), reducing manual dependence and improving efficiency; the rear axle slewing mechanism and the auxiliary wheels work together to achieve a 90° rotation of the rear axle and the rapid lifting of the tires off the ground, greatly shortening the loading and unloading time.

[0007] 2) Comprehensive improvement in safety performance: The double locking mechanism of the hydraulic lock and the hydraulic lead screw completely eliminates the risk of accidental sliding of the pressure steel pipe after jacking up, avoiding ground contact accidents; the intelligent monitoring system continuously detects the center of gravity deviation, vehicle body inclination and obstacles, and actively warns of dangers such as rollover and rubbing through sound and light alarms and screen prompts, greatly reducing the accident rate.

[0008] 3) Significantly enhanced fixing stability: The front / rear fixing mechanisms adopt a multi-directional tightening design, combined with a sensor group to dynamically adjust the tightening pressure, ensuring that the steel pipe has no displacement under bumpy road conditions and improving the fixing reliability; the rear limiting mechanism adaptively adjusts the clamping range through a guide rail and a pressing oil cylinder, compatible with steel pipes of different lengths from 3 meters to 6 meters, with a wider applicability.

[0009] 4) Optimization of intelligence and adaptability: The camera group combined with the contour marking algorithm provides real-time loading and unloading guidance for the driver, reducing operation errors. The rear axle slewing mechanism enables the transport vehicle to enter the interior of the steel pipe for loading and unloading, getting rid of the dependence on large cranes for assistance, especially suitable for narrow or complex construction site scenarios.

[0010] 5) Outstanding economy: It reduces labor costs and investment in auxiliary equipment, and reduces the comprehensive operation and maintenance costs; the optimized design of the trailer counterweight and the trapezoidal trailer frame extends the service life of the equipment and reduces the maintenance frequency.

[0011] Summary: Through structural innovation and intelligent integration, the present invention solves the core problems of traditional transportation methods such as low efficiency, high risk, and poor adaptability, providing an efficient, safe, and economical solution for the transportation of large-diameter steel pipes.

[0031] The following further elaborates on the present invention in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Figure 1 It is a side view of the structure of a large - scale pressure steel pipe intelligent transport vehicle, which is composed of a towing head 01, a trapezoidal trailer frame 02, a trailer counterweight 03, a front part limit mechanism 04, a front part fixing mechanism 05, a front part lifting mechanism 06, a rear part lifting mechanism 07, a rear part fixing mechanism 08, a rear axle rotary mechanism 09, a rear axle 10, a rear part limit mechanism 11, an auxiliary wheel B 12, an auxiliary wheel A 13, a support leg 14, and a towing connection disk 15.

[0033] The trapezoidal trailer frame 02 is composed of an upper left beam, an upper right beam, a lower left beam, a lower right beam, diagonal braces, and inter - beam connecting beams.

[0034] The trailer counterweight 03 is used to maintain the force balance of the trailer, increase the force on the rear tires of the towing vehicle, so that the pressure steel pipe is tightly pressed between the front part limit mechanism 04 and the rear part limit mechanism 11 during the driving of the towing vehicle. The front part limit mechanism 04 is used to block the front of the pressure steel pipe to prevent the pressure steel pipe from sliding forward during driving, and the rear part limit mechanism 11 is used to block the rear of the pressure steel pipe to prevent the pressure steel pipe from sliding backward during driving; the rear part limit mechanism 11 is provided with a guide rail and a pressing oil cylinder, and the pressing oil cylinder can push the limit baffle to slide back and forth, and can maintain clamping when the length of the pressure steel pipe changes within the stroke range of the pressing oil cylinder.

[0035] The front part fixing mechanism 05 and the front part lifting mechanism 06 jointly fix the front end of the pressure steel pipe to prevent the pressure steel pipe from shaking left and right and bouncing on the vehicle. Figure 2It is a front view of the front fixing mechanism 05, which is divided into two symmetrical left and right parts. The left and right parts have the same structural principle, and are composed of a tightening piston 051, a tightening cylinder lower bracket 052, a tightening cylinder 053, and a tightening cylinder upper bracket 054. The tightening cylinder lower bracket 052 and the tightening cylinder upper bracket 054 are fixed on the trapezoidal trailer frame 02. The tightening piston 051 can be controlled to retract and form a fulcrum for tightening in three different directions with the front jacking mechanism 06 to fix the front of the pressure steel pipe. The rear fixing mechanism 08 and the rear jacking mechanism 07 jointly fix the rear of the pressure steel pipe. The structural principle is exactly the same as that of the front fixing mechanism 05.

[0036] The front lifting mechanism 06 is used to lift the front end of the pressure steel pipe to keep the pressure steel pipe at a certain height from the ground. Figure 3 It is a front view of the front lifting mechanism 06, which consists of a lifting hydraulic screw 061, a lifting guide tube 062, a lifting beam 063, a lifting hydraulic screw bracket 064, and a coaxial guide column 065; the lifting guide tube 062 and the lifting hydraulic screw bracket 064 are fixed on the trapezoidal trailer frame 02, the lifting hydraulic screw 061 extends to drive the lifting beam 063 to move upward, lifting the pressure steel pipe, and the lifting hydraulic screw 061 retracts to drive the lifting beam 063 to move downward, lowering the pressure steel pipe; there is a coaxial guide column 065 in the lifting guide tube 062, the coaxial guide column 065 can make a linear motion along the lifting guide tube 062, and the coaxial guide column 065 is rigidly connected to the two ends of the lifting beam 063, so that the lifting beam 063 maintains a stable vertical lifting. The rear lifting mechanism 07 is exactly the same as the front lifting mechanism 06.

[0037] The rear axle slewing mechanism 09 can make the rear axle 10 rotate 90° around the vertical axis. When the trailer is driving, the connection line of the rear axle tires is perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle body. When loading a small-diameter pressure steel pipe, the rear axle rotates so that the tire axis is consistent with the axis of the vehicle body, so that the trailer body can enter the interior of the pressure steel pipe. The rear axle slewing mechanism 09 is driven to rotate by a hydraulic motor and is provided with a locking pin. When driving, the locking pin locks the rear axle and the vehicle body in a vertical position.

[0038] The auxiliary wheel B12 and the auxiliary wheel A13 are fixed to the lower part of the piston at the lower end of the auxiliary wheel lifting hydraulic cylinder, and the lifting and lowering are controlled by the auxiliary wheel lifting hydraulic cylinder. When the auxiliary wheel is lowered, the rear frame of the trailer can be lifted up, so that the rear wheels of the trailer leave the ground and enter the inside of the pressure steel pipe. The auxiliary wheel B12 and the auxiliary wheel A13 are alternately supported to enter the inside of the pressure steel pipe.

[0039] When the trailer is separated from the tractor, it is supported by the legs 14, which are raised and lowered by the screw. When it is necessary to release the tractor head, the handle is shaken to lower the legs to the ground, prop up the front of the trailer, and release the lock of the traction coupling plate 15, so that the tractor head can leave alone. The tractor head tows the trailer through the traction coupling plate 15.

[0040] Figure 4It is a hydraulic system diagram. The hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump 56, a hydraulic overflow valve 55, a hydraulic lock group (front lifting hydraulic lock 26, rear lifting hydraulic lock 29, auxiliary wheel B hydraulic lock 32, auxiliary wheel A hydraulic lock 35, left rear limit hydraulic lock 38, right rear limit hydraulic lock 40, left front fixed hydraulic lock 43, right front fixed hydraulic lock 46, left rear fixed hydraulic lock 49, and right rear fixed hydraulic lock 52), and an electromagnetic valve group. The hydraulic pump 56 is driven by a power take-off of the tractor. The electromagnetic valve group is integrated into the electric control operation panel 80, including a rear axle locking electromagnetic valve 23, a rear axle slewing electromagnetic valve 21, a front lifting electromagnetic valve 25, a rear lifting electromagnetic valve 28, an auxiliary wheel A electromagnetic valve 34, an auxiliary wheel B electromagnetic valve 31, and a rear limit electromagnetic valve 37, as well as fixed mechanism electromagnetic valves (left front fixed electromagnetic valve 42, right front fixed electromagnetic valve 45, left rear fixed electromagnetic valve 48, and right rear fixed electromagnetic valve 51). Each electromagnetic valve is controlled by a microprocessor 800. The hydraulic pump 56 obtains driving force from the power take-off of the tractor, and the hydraulic overflow valve 55 is used to prevent damage to components due to excessive pressure of the hydraulic pump.

[0041] Figure 5 It is a hydraulic electric control wiring diagram. All hydraulic operation electric control switches are installed inside the electric control operation panel 80 in the cab. The load switch 854 and the hydraulic load electromagnetic valve 54 are used to control the loading of the hydraulic system. When the load switch 854 is closed, the hydraulic load electromagnetic valve 54 is turned on, and the unloading pressure of the hydraulic system disappears. When the load switch 854 is turned on, the hydraulic load electromagnetic valve is cut off, and the hydraulic system is loaded, and the pressure increases.

[0042] The rear axle unlocking switch 823, the rear axle locking electromagnetic valve 23, and the rear axle locking hydraulic cylinder 24 constitute the rear axle locking mechanism. When the rear axle unlocking switch is turned on, the rear axle locking electromagnetic valve 23 is energized to supply oil to the rear axle locking hydraulic cylinder 24. The rear axle locking hydraulic cylinder 24 drags the locking pin to retract, releasing the rear axle lock, and the angle between the rear axle and the vehicle body can be changed. When the rear axle unlocking switch is closed, the rear axle locking electromagnetic valve 23 is de-energized, and the oil circuit of the rear axle locking hydraulic cylinder 24 is depressurized through the rear axle locking electromagnetic valve 23. The spring pushes the rear axle locking hydraulic cylinder 24 and the locking pin into the locking pin hole, and the rear axle is locked, and the angle between the rear axle and the vehicle body cannot be changed.

[0043] The rear axle slewing switch 821, the rear axle slewing electromagnetic valve 21, and the rear axle slewing motor 22 control the rear axle slewing. When the rear axle slewing switch 821 is in the middle position, the rear axle slewing electromagnetic valve 21 is in the stop position, and the rear axle slewing motor 22 has no oil supply and remains in the stop state. When the rear axle slewing switch 821 is in the forward rotation position, the rear axle lock is released, and the rear axle 10 is off the ground, the forward rotation coil of the rear axle slewing electromagnetic valve 21 is energized, and the rear axle slewing motor 22 rotates forward with forward oil supply. When the rear axle slewing switch 821 is in the reverse rotation position, the rear axle lock is released, and the rear axle is off the ground, the reverse rotation coil of the rear axle slewing electromagnetic valve 21 is energized, and the rear axle slewing motor 22 rotates in reverse with reverse oil supply.

[0044] When the front lifting switch 825 is in the middle position, the front lifting solenoid valve 25 is in the stop position, the front lifting hydraulic lead screw 27 is not supplied with oil and is in a locked state, and the front lifting hydraulic lock 26 cuts off the oil circuit to prevent the hydraulic lead screw from sliding under the action of the load pressure due to reasons such as hydraulic pipeline breakage. The hydraulic lead screw also has a self-locking characteristic. When the hydraulic pipeline is broken or the hydraulic motor has internal leakage, the hydraulic lead screw can maintain the locked state without sliding (using a hydraulic cylinder can also achieve the lifting function, but the hydraulic cylinder does not have the self-locking ability. When the lifting cylinder leaks internally during the transportation of the penstock, it will slide, resulting in the penstock touching the ground and causing an accident); when the front lifting switch 825 is in the lifting position, the lifting coil of the front lifting solenoid valve 25 is energized to supply oil, the hydraulic oil pressure opens the front lifting hydraulic lock 26, and the motor of the front lifting hydraulic lead screw 27 rotates in the lifting direction to lift the penstock; when the front lifting switch 825 is in the lowering position, the lowering coil of the front lifting solenoid valve 25 is energized to supply oil, the hydraulic oil pressure opens the front lifting hydraulic lock 26, and the motor of the front lifting hydraulic lead screw 27 rotates in the lowering direction to lower the penstock.

[0045] The principle of the rear lifting switch 828, the rear lifting solenoid valve 28, the rear lifting hydraulic lead screw 30, and the rear lifting hydraulic lock 29 is the same as that of the front lifting control.

[0046] When the auxiliary wheel B lifting switch 831 is in the middle stop position, the auxiliary wheel B solenoid valve 31 is not energized and does not supply oil, the auxiliary wheel B remains stationary, and the auxiliary wheel B hydraulic lock 32 is used to prevent the pipeline from breaking and the auxiliary wheel B from sliding when the vehicle is running; when the auxiliary wheel B lifting switch 831 is in the extended position, the extended coil of the auxiliary wheel B solenoid valve 31 is energized, supplies oil in the extended direction, the auxiliary wheel B hydraulic lock 32 is opened, and the piston of the auxiliary wheel B hydraulic cylinder 33 drives the auxiliary wheel B to extend downward, lifting the trailer body, the rear axle tires leaving the ground, and the rear axle can rotate. The auxiliary wheel B takes over the support of the trailer body by the main rear axle tires and walks into the penstock; when the auxiliary wheel B lifting switch 831 is in the retracted position, the retracted coil of the auxiliary wheel B solenoid valve 31 is energized, supplies oil in the retracted direction, the auxiliary wheel B hydraulic lock 32 is opened, and the piston of the auxiliary wheel B hydraulic cylinder 33 drives the auxiliary wheel B to retract upward, putting the main rear axle tires back on the ground.

[0047] The control principle of the auxiliary wheel A, the auxiliary wheel A lifting switch 834, the auxiliary wheel A solenoid valve 34, the auxiliary wheel A hydraulic lock 35, and the auxiliary wheel A hydraulic cylinder 36 is the same as that of the auxiliary wheel B.

[0048] When the rear limit operation switch 837 is in the middle stop position, the rear limit solenoid valve 37 is de-energized and does not supply oil. The left rear limit oil cylinder 39 and the right rear limit oil cylinder 41 remain locked and immobile. The left rear limit hydraulic lock 38 and the right rear limit hydraulic lock 40 prevent pipeline breakage and pressure relief. If the rear limit operation switch 837 is in the clamping position, the clamping direction coil of the rear limit solenoid valve 37 is energized to supply oil. The left rear limit oil cylinder 39 and the right rear limit oil cylinder 41 extend, pushing the rear limit mechanism to move towards the head of the vehicle, clamping the penstock between the front limit mechanism and the rear limit mechanism. If the rear limit operation switch 837 is in the release position, the release direction coil of the rear limit solenoid valve 37 is energized to supply oil. The left rear limit oil cylinder 39 and the right rear limit oil cylinder 41 retract, pulling the rear limit mechanism to move towards the tail of the vehicle, releasing the clamped penstock.

[0049] When the left front fixing mechanism switch 842 is in the stop position, the left front fixing solenoid valve 42 is de-energized and does not supply oil. The left front fixing oil cylinder 44 is locked and immobile. The left front fixing hydraulic lock 43 is used to prevent pipeline breakage and pressure relief. When the left front fixing mechanism switch 842 is in the tightening position, the tightening coil of the left front fixing solenoid valve 42 is energized to supply oil. The left front fixing oil cylinder 44 extends to tighten the penstock. When the left front fixing mechanism switch 842 is in the retracting position, the retracting coil of the left front fixing solenoid valve 42 is energized to supply oil.

[0053] The sensor group 60 of the front fixing mechanism is used to detect the extension length and pressure of the two front jacking cylinders, and provide detection data for the monitoring computer to analyze the position and fastening degree of the penstock. The sensor group 60 of the front fixing mechanism includes 4 sensors, namely: the left front fixing cylinder extension length sensor 601, the left front fixing cylinder pressure sensor 602, the right front fixing cylinder extension length sensor 603, and the right front fixing cylinder pressure sensor 604.

[0055] The sensor 61 of the front lifting mechanism is a lead screw extension length sensor, which detects the lifting height of the front part of the penstock.

[0056] The sensor 62 of the rear lifting mechanism is a lead screw extension length sensor, which detects the lifting height of the rear part of the penstock.

[0057] The sensor group 64 of the rear axle slewing mechanism includes: a left pressure sensor group 641 for the rear axle load, a right pressure sensor group 642 for the rear axle load, and a rear axle slewing angle sensor 643.

[0058] The sensor group 65 of the rear wheel height is used to detect the rear wheel height when the rear axle enters the penstock to prevent the rear wheel from colliding with the penstock. It is composed of a left rear wheel height sensor 651 and a right rear wheel height sensor 652.

[0059] The rear limit mechanism sensor group 67, the traction connection disc sensor group 71, and the trapezoidal trailer frame attitude sensor group 70 jointly detect the force load and angle of the trailer, providing detection data for the intelligent monitoring computer to analyze the center of gravity and whether it can pass road obstacles. The rear limit mechanism sensor group 67 includes two sensors, namely: the extended length sensor 671 of the rear limit mechanism jacking oil cylinder and the pressure sensor 672 of the rear limit mechanism jacking oil cylinder. The traction connection disc sensor group 71 includes: the left pressure sensor group 711 of the traction connection disc load and the angle sensor 712 of the traction connection disc.

[0060] The trapezoidal trailer frame attitude sensor group 70 includes two sensors, namely the horizontal inclination angle sensor 701 of the trapezoidal trailer frame and the ground clearance sensor 702 of the trapezoidal trailer frame.

[0061] The front obstacle detection camera group 75 consists of two embedded cameras, the left front camera 751 and the right front camera 752, which are used to monitor the obstacles on both sides in the front.

[0062] The electric control operation panel 80 is used to control the execution actions of each component. There is a microprocessor 800 inside the electric control operation panel 80. All control switches are connected to the microprocessor 800. The microprocessor 800 detects the operations of each control switch and sends the operation results to the intelligent monitoring computer 81 through the communication bus 82.

[0063] The loading / unloading and pressure steel pipe monitoring rearview camera group 76 is composed of the left rear camera 761 and the right rear camera 762, which are installed on both sides of the front cross beam of the trailer and are used to monitor the rear situation, mainly for observing the attitude of the pressure steel pipe, the states of each component, and observing the blind area of the rearview mirror during loading and unloading.

[0064] The height limit monitoring camera 77 is installed on the upper part of the front limit mechanism 04 and is used to monitor the obstacles in the upper front.

[0065] The intelligent monitoring computer 81 calculates, analyzes, and stores the data of each sensor and camera, and displays the videos and analysis results of each camera on the screen. If dangerous situations such as component displacement, possible collision, or rollover are detected through monitoring, an alarm prompt sound will be emitted in real time.

[0066] Intelligent monitoring system algorithm: 1. The main monitoring algorithm of the intelligent monitoring system during loading and unloading; (1) The intelligent monitoring system automatically calculates whether the rear wheels have been jacked up and suspended: When loading or unloading, the driver lowers the auxiliary wheel A to lift the frame and the rear wheels. If the measured height of the rear-wheel height sensor at the rear is greater than the installation height of the sensor, it indicates that the rear wheels are already suspended. The driver can operate the rear-axle slewing mechanism to slewing the rear axle by 90 degrees, so that the rear-axle axis rotates to the same direction as the vehicle body axis, and the two left and right wheels rotate to be one in front and one behind. If the driver unlocks and operates the rear axle when the rear wheels are not suspended, the intelligent monitoring computer 81 will immediately emit an alarm sound and prompt on the screen to prohibit operating the rear-axle rotation.

[0067] (2) Automatically analyze whether the rear wheels can pass through the penstock: When loading and unloading the penstock, the two left and right wheels rotate to be one in front and one behind. When loading, if the measured height of the rear-wheel height sensor at the rear is greater than the installation height of the sensor, it indicates that the space below the sensor is sufficient for the rear wheels at the rear to pass through suspended. The trailer can reverse into the penstock without collision. The rear wheels at the rear and the front wheels pass through the penstock in sequence. When the measured height of the front-wheel height sensor suddenly increases, it indicates that the rear axle has passed through the penstock, and the rear axle can be slewed to the driving direction.

[0068] When unloading, the driver lowers the auxiliary wheel B to lift the frame and the rear wheels, and rotates the two left and right wheels to be one in front and one behind. If the measured height of the front-wheel height sensor is greater than the installation height of the sensor, it indicates that the space below the sensor is sufficient for the front wheels to pass through suspended. The trailer can move forward to let the rear axle enter the penstock without collision. The front wheels and the rear wheels at the rear pass through the penstock in sequence. When the measured height of the rear-wheel height sensor at the rear suddenly increases, it indicates that the rear axle has passed through the penstock, and the rear axle can be slewed to the driving direction and lowered to drive away.

[0069] If the intelligent monitoring system detects that the rear wheels may rub or collide, it will send out a warning message in real time.

[0070] (3) Automatically analyze whether the auxiliary wheels can pass through the penstock: Automatic detection and analysis during the loading process: The auxiliary wheel A jacks up the vehicle frame and retreats towards the penstock. If the measured height of the height sensor 68 of the auxiliary wheel B suddenly decreases, it indicates that the auxiliary wheel B is approaching the penstock. If the measured height of the height sensor 68 of the auxiliary wheel B is greater than the distance from the lower end of the auxiliary wheel B to the sensor, it means that the auxiliary wheel B is higher than the inner edge of the penstock, and the auxiliary wheel B can enter the penstock without collision and can continue to retreat. If the measured height of the height sensor 68 of the auxiliary wheel B is less than the distance from the lower end of the auxiliary wheel B to the sensor, the intelligent monitoring computer 81 issues a warning message that the auxiliary wheel B may collide, prompting the driver to raise the height of the auxiliary wheel B. When the measured height of the height sensor 69 of the auxiliary wheel A suddenly decreases during the backward movement of the trailer, it indicates that the auxiliary wheel A is approaching the penstock, and the auxiliary wheel B has completely entered the penstock. At this time, the driver lowers the auxiliary wheel B and raises the auxiliary wheel A, and the auxiliary wheel B takes over the auxiliary wheel A to jack up the vehicle frame of the trailer and continue to retreat until the rear axle passes through the penstock.

[0071] Automatic detection and analysis during the unloading process: The driver operates the auxiliary wheel B of the trailer to jack up the vehicle frame and lift the rear wheels, and uses the auxiliary wheel B to support the vehicle frame to move forward in the penstock. When the measured height of the height sensor 69 of the auxiliary wheel A suddenly increases, it indicates that the auxiliary wheel A has exited the penstock. Lower the auxiliary wheel A and raise the auxiliary wheel B, and use the auxiliary wheel A to support the vehicle frame to move forward until the rear axle tires completely pass through the penstock, rotate the rear axle to lock in the driving direction, and lower it to complete the unloading.

[0072] (4)Intelligent assistance for loading and unloading videos: The loading / unloading and penstock monitoring rearview cameras take videos backward from the left and right directions respectively and are displayed on the screen of the monitoring computer. The trapezoidal vehicle frame ground clearance sensor 702 continuously detects the ground clearance of the vehicle frame, and the horizontal inclination sensors continuously detect the front-rear direction inclination and left-right direction inclination of the vehicle frame. The monitoring computer calculates and marks the position of the trailer contour in the video in combination with the dimensions of the penstock intelligent transport vehicle, providing instructions for loading and unloading. The driver can also directly view the position status of each component through the video. This function is similar to the video display and marking of the vehicle contour when a car reverses.

[0073] (5)Center of gravity monitoring and adjustment, penstock weight monitoring: The center of gravity monitoring is carried out by the intelligent monitoring computer 81, which calculates the relative position of the center of gravity vertical line in the vehicle frame plane based on the three vehicle frame fulcrums of the left pressure sensor group 641 of the rear axle load, the right pressure sensor group 642 of the rear axle load, and the left pressure sensor group 711 of the traction connection plate load and displays it on the screen. If the center of gravity of the penstock is too far to the left, retract the hydraulic cylinders on the right side of the front fixing mechanism 05 and the rear fixing mechanism 08 and tighten the hydraulic cylinders on the left side to shift the penstock to the right, adjust the center of gravity to the center of the vehicle frame, and then tighten the right hydraulic cylinder to lock the penstock. If the center of gravity is shifted to the right, the correction direction is opposite.

[0074] The intelligent monitoring computer 81 calculates the front lifting height of the penstock according to the front lifting mechanism sensor 61, calculates the rear lifting height of the penstock according to the rear lifting mechanism sensor 62, and calculates the weight and center of gravity height of the penstock by combining the left pressure sensor group 641 of the rear axle load, the right pressure sensor group 642 of the rear axle load, and the left pressure sensor group 711 of the traction connection disk load with the self-weight of the vehicle frame.

[0075] 2. Intelligent monitoring of the vehicle; The monitoring computer calculates the offset of the center of gravity relative to the vehicle frame axis according to the ratio of the left pressure sensor group 641 of the rear axle load and the right pressure sensor group 642 of the rear axle load. The horizontal inclination sensor detects the lateral inclination of the vehicle body in real time, and gives a real-time alarm prompt when rollover may occur due to penstock displacement or uneven road surface. The horizontal inclination sensor detects the longitudinal inclination of the road surface in real time, the vehicle speed sensor 66 monitors the vehicle speed in real time, and the left pressure sensor group 641 of the rear axle load, the right pressure sensor group 642 of the rear axle load, and the left pressure sensor group 711 of the traction connection disk load detect the load weight of the transport vehicle in real time. The monitoring computer analyzes the braking ability in real time according to the slope, load, and vehicle speed, and prompts the driver to control the vehicle speed.

[0076] Video monitoring of the vehicle: The traction connection disk angle sensor 712 is used to detect the angle between the tractor and the trailer. Combining with the dimensions of the transport vehicle components, the monitoring computer can mark the outline of the transport vehicle on the left front camera 751, the right front camera 752, the height limit monitoring camera 77, the left rear camera 761, and the right rear camera 762 respectively, providing an intuitive display for the driver. The monitoring computer performs video recognition on each camera and issues a warning message when a possible collision is recognized.
