[0016] Preferably, during the actual operation process, the real-time collected and preprocessed data is input into the trained BP neural network for judgment. If the judgment result shows that the gate is jammed, the control system controls the gantry crane to decelerate or stop according to the severity of the jamming situation.
[0017] On the other hand, the present invention provides an operation method for a multi-field information hydraulic torque converter anti-shock system of a gantry crane, including the following steps: (1) Monitor the gate slot state in real time and give early warnings: 1) Gate operation monitoring: The grab beam of the gantry crane is connected to the gate, and the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley runs, adsorbing on the track and moving from the grab beam of the gantry crane to the bottom of the gate; The cable drives the cable reel to rotate as the trolley runs, stretching the disc-shaped stainless steel spring to keep the cable in a tensioned state; After the gate runs into the water, the multi-beam three-dimensional sonar continuously scans the gate operation area to obtain a high-precision three-dimensional image of the underwater environment; the underwater camera is used to assist in obtaining optical images for verifying the sonar data; the data processing unit analyzes the sonar data to establish a three-dimensional model of the underwater environment; key parameters such as the distance between the gate and the gate slot and the integrity of the gate slot structure are monitored in real time; When the gate falls to the bottom of the gate slot, the system sends an instruction, and the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley runs towards the upper edge of the gate. The cable is received under the action of the elastic force of the stretched disc-shaped stainless steel spring and winds around the cable reel. After the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley runs to the upper edge of the gate, it moves to the grab beam of the gantry crane through the rotating rail-changing mechanism, and scans and monitors the situation above the grab beam of the gantry crane in real time; When the gate rises above the water surface, the sonar is turned off; 2) Abnormal warning handling During the operation of the gate, when potential obstacles or abnormal gate slot structures are detected at a certain elevation, the system issues a warning signal. Among them, when the distance between the bottom of the gate and this elevation is less than 1 meter, a pop-up warning appears on the man-machine interface in the driver's cab to remind the driver to observe and judge; when the distance from this elevation is less than 50 centimeters, the system pops up a window to ask the driver whether to slow down and continuously reminds the driver to pay attention; (2) Warning failure, gate jamming, and the hydraulic torque converter buffers impact loads: If the real-time monitoring system of the gate slot state fails to predict abnormal situations in time, resulting in the gate getting jammed, the impact load on the hoisting mechanism is buffered and absorbed by the oil in the hydraulic torque converter, reducing the direct impact on the hoisting mechanism; (3) The multi-physical field signal fusion decision-making system intervenes to control the gantry crane: When the gate gets jammed, the hydraulic torque converter buffers the impact load, and the rotational speed of the hoisting mechanism motor, the output current of the frequency converter, the code value of the load sensor of the hoisting mechanism, the internal temperature value of the hydraulic torque converter, and the rotational state of the fixed pulley group all change. The real-time collected data is input into the BP neural network. Combining with the data of the real-time monitoring system of the gate slot state, the multi-physical field signal fusion decision-making system judges the severity of the gate jamming and controls the gantry crane to slow down or stop through the control module.
[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Through early warning, buffer devices, and multi-physical field signal fusion decision-making means, the system effectively prevents the impact on the hoisting mechanism when the gate gets jammed, ensuring the equipment safety of the gantry crane.
[0019] 2. The structure of the present invention is simple, the technology is mature, and the manufacturing and installation are easy.
[0020] 3. Through real-time monitoring and accurate warning, the present invention can effectively prevent mechanical jamming failures that may occur during the operation of the gate, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the gantry crane, and has important engineering application value.

[0034] Further, the underwater monitoring unit includes a magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11. The magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11 is composed of a driving front body 11-1 and a following rear body 11-4 hinged by a pin shaft 11-5.

Through the above magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11, the whole device can be carried to operate between the grab beam 02 of the gantry crane and the gate 03.
[0035] Furthermore, the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley can selectively move onto the parking track 13 or the gate traveling track 15 under the action of the rotation and track-changing mechanism 12.

Thus, the normal operation of the underwater camera 11-2 and the multi-beam three-dimensional sonar imaging device 11-3 is ensured.
[0038] With the above structure, the multi-beam three-dimensional sonar imaging device and the underwater camera are installed on the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley to form a movable underwater monitoring unit. All its electrical interfaces adopt a radial and axial double waterproof sealing structure, and the metal parts are made of stainless steel material to ensure long-term stable operation in the underwater environment.
[0039] Furthermore, the signal transmission unit is composed of a zero-buoyancy underwater cable, a cable joint, and a signal relay device.

Among them, the underwater monitoring data is transmitted to the data processing unit installed in the electrical room of the gantry crane via the zero-buoyancy underwater cable, the signal relay device, and the traveling cable of the grab beam to achieve communication between the two.
[0040] Furthermore, for the zero-buoyancy underwater cable: a stainless steel armor layer is arranged inside the cable, which has good anti-tensile, anti-torsion, and anti-corrosion properties.
[0041] Furthermore, for the cable joint: it is made of stainless steel material and has a radial and axial double waterproof sealing structure.
[0042] Furthermore, for the signal relay device: it is used to achieve stable transmission of sonar signals, video signals, and control signals of the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley.
[0043] Further, the cable storage unit 14 includes a cable reel 14-1 on which a zero-buoyancy underwater cable is wound and stored. The cable reel 14-1 is internally provided with a disc-shaped stainless steel spring 14-2 which has a constant tension control function for automatically retracting and releasing the cable to ensure that the cable is always in a tensioned state, avoiding slack or excessive stretching.
[0044] Cable reel: Made of stainless steel, it has good corrosion resistance.
[0045] When the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11 moves downward, it pulls the cable and the disc-shaped stainless steel spring 14-2 is stretched under force; when the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11 moves upward, the disc-shaped stainless steel spring 14-2 recovers and pulls the cable upward for winding on the cable reel. During the operation of the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11, the tension monitoring sensor continuously monitors the cable tension. According to the feedback signal of the tension monitoring sensor, the running speed of the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11 is adjusted to ensure that the cable is always in a constant tension state.
[0046] Further, the operation guiding unit is composed of a base 10, a rotating track-changing mechanism 12, a parking track 13, a gate walking track 15 and a safety baffle 16.

By installing the industrial control computer and the human-machine interface at a suitable position in the driver's cab of the gantry crane and communicating with the electrical control system of the gantry crane, according to the set judgment conditions, a pop-up window is used to remind the driver and control the gantry crane to stop running when necessary.
[0050] Further, the hydraulic torque converter buffer device 17 includes a hydraulic torque converter 17-1 installed between the output shaft of the hoisting mechanism drive motor 18 and the brake 19. The hydraulic torque converter 17-1 realizes flexible power transmission through a hydraulic coupler. Under normal working conditions, it rotates synchronously with the hoisting mechanism drive motor 18 and transmits torque to the hoisting mechanism drum. When abnormal conditions such as the gate getting stuck occur, the impact load generated by the mechanism is dynamically buffered and energy-absorbed through the circulating oil in the hydraulic torque converter, effectively reducing the damage of mechanical impact to the transmission chain.
[0051] To avoid the attenuation of oil viscosity caused by the increase in oil temperature of the hydraulic torque converter under continuous working conditions, the hydraulic torque converter 17-1 is equipped with a closed-loop water cooling system, and the working oil temperature is regulated in real time through a plate heat exchanger to ensure that the hydraulic transmission medium is always in the best viscosity range, guaranteeing the transmission efficiency and equipment reliability.

By dividing the preprocessed data into a training set and a test set, use the training set to train the BP neural network, adjust the weights and thresholds of the neural network, so that the neural network can learn the characteristics and laws of each physical quantity under normal operation and gate jamming, and use the test set to test the trained BP neural network to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of its judgment.
[0053] Furthermore, during the actual operation, the data collected in real time and preprocessed is input into the trained BP neural network for judgment. If the judgment result shows that the gate is jammed, the control system controls the gantry crane to decelerate or stop according to the severity of the jamming situation.
[0054] Meanwhile, it communicates with the real-time monitoring system of the gate slot state, and the early warning signal sent by the real-time monitoring system of the gate slot state is transmitted to the multi-physical field signal fusion decision-making system. The decision-making system makes a comprehensive judgment by combining the real-time monitoring data and takes more reasonable control measures.
[0055] Embodiment 2: The operation method of the multi-field information hydraulic torque converter anti-shock system for gantry cranes is characterized by including the following steps: (1) Real-time monitoring of the gate slot state and early warning: 1) Gate operation monitoring: The grab beam 02 of the gantry crane is connected to the gate 03, and the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11 runs, adsorbs on the track, and moves from the grab beam 02 of the gantry crane to the bottom of the gate 03; The cable drives the cable reel 14-1 to rotate as the trolley runs, stretching the disc-shaped stainless steel spring 14-2 to keep the cable in a tensioned state; After the gate runs into the water, the multi-beam three-dimensional sonar continuously scans the gate operation area to obtain a high-precision three-dimensional image of the underwater environment; the underwater camera 11-2 assists in obtaining an optical image for verifying the sonar data; the data processing unit analyzes the sonar data to establish a three-dimensional model of the underwater environment; key parameters such as the distance between the gate and the gate slot and the integrity of the gate slot structure are monitored in real time; When the gate drops to the bottom of the gate slot, the system sends an instruction, and the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley 11 runs towards the upper edge of the gate. The cable is received under the action of the elastic force of the disc-shaped stainless steel spring 14-2 and winds around the cable reel. After the magnetic adsorption mobile trolley runs to the upper edge of the gate, it moves to the grab beam 02 of the gantry crane through the rotating track-changing mechanism 12, and the situation above the grab beam 02 of the gantry crane is scanned and monitored in real time; When the gate rises above the water surface, the sonar is turned off; 2) Abnormal early warning processing During the operation of the gate, when a potential obstacle or abnormal gate slot structure is detected at a certain elevation, the system issues an early warning signal. Among them, when the distance between the bottom of the gate and this elevation is less than 1 meter, a pop-up warning appears on the man-machine interface in the driver's cab to remind the driver to observe and judge; when the distance from this elevation is less than 50 cm, the system pops up a window to ask the driver whether to decelerate and continuously reminds the driver to pay attention; (2) The early warning fails, the gate is jammed, and the hydraulic torque converter buffers the impact load: If the real-time monitoring system of the gate slot fails and fails to predict abnormal situations in a timely manner, resulting in the jamming of the gate, the impact load on the hoisting mechanism is buffered and absorbed by the hydraulic fluid in the torque converter, reducing the direct impact on the hoisting mechanism; (3)The multi-physical field signal fusion decision-making system intervenes to control the gantry crane: When the gate jams, the torque converter buffers the impact load, and the rotational speed of the hoisting mechanism motor, the output current of the frequency converter, the code value of the load sensor of the hoisting mechanism, the internal temperature value of the torque converter, and the rotational state of the fixed pulley block all change.

14. The operating method of the gantry crane multi-field information hydraulic torque conversion anti-shock system according to any one of claims 12-13 is characterized in that: The following steps are involved: (1) Real-time monitoring of door slot status and early warning: 1) Gate operation monitoring: The gantry crane grab beam (02) is connected to the gate (03), and the magnetic attraction type moving trolley (11) is operated and adsorbed on the track, and moves from the gantry crane grab beam (02) to the bottom of the gate (03); The cable drives the cable reel (14-1) to rotate as the trolley moves, stretching the disc-type stainless steel spring (14-2) to keep the cable in a tensioned state; After the gate is put into the water, the multi-beam three-dimensional sonar continuously scans the gate operation area to obtain high-precision three-dimensional images of the underwater environment; the underwater camera (11-2) assists in obtaining optical images for verifying the sonar data; the data processing unit analyzes the sonar data to establish a three-dimensional model of the underwater environment; and monitors the distance between the gate and the gate slot and the key parameters of the gate slot structural integrity in real time; When the gate falls to the bottom of the gate slot, the system sends a command, and the magnetically attracted mobile trolley (11) moves toward the upper edge of the gate. The cable is collected under the elastic force of the tension disc stainless steel spring (14-2) and wound on the cable reel. After the magnetically attracted mobile trolley moves to the upper edge of the gate, it moves to the gantry crane grab beam (02) by rotating the track change mechanism (12), and scans and monitors the condition above the gantry crane grab beam (02) in real time; When the gate rises above the water surface, the sonar is turned off; 2) Abnormal warning processing During the operation of the gate, when a potential obstacle or abnormal gate slot structure is detected at a certain elevation, the system will issue a warning signal. When the distance between the bottom of the gate and the elevation is less than 1 meter, a pop-up window will appear on the human-computer interaction interface in the driver's cab to remind the driver to observe and judge; when the distance is less than 50 centimeters from the elevation, the system will pop up a window to ask the driver whether it is necessary to slow down and continue to remind the driver to pay attention; (2) Warning failure, gate jam, torque converter buffering impact load: If the real-time monitoring system for the gate slot status fails and the abnormal situation is not predicted in time, the gate will be blocked. The impact load on the lifting mechanism will be buffered and absorbed by the oil in the torque converter, reducing the direct impact on the lifting mechanism. (3) Multi-physics field signal fusion decision-making system intervenes to control the gantry crane: When the gate is stuck, the torque converter buffers the impact load, the rotation speed of the lifting mechanism motor, the output current of the inverter, the code value of the lifting mechanism load sensor, the internal temperature of the torque converter, and the rotation state of the fixed pulley block all change. The real-time collected data is input into the BP neural network. Combined with the data from the real-time monitoring system of the gate slot status, the multi-physical field signal fusion decision-making system determines the severity of the gate jam and controls the gantry crane to slow down or stop through the control module.
