Detailed implementation manner

[0067] The overall idea of the present invention is as follows: A method for monitoring key connection points during tower crane jacking operation, which uses image recognition technology to detect the working states of the safety pin of the jacking cross beam and the movable climbing claw. When it is detected that the safety pin of the jacking cross beam is not in the normal state required for the jacking operation, it is determined that the tower crane cannot perform the jacking operation. The industrial control computer will give a voice alarm, and the ground management personnel will simultaneously monitor and require the operators to make rectifications according to the operation requirements. The present invention can increase the safety detection of key connection points during tower crane jacking operation, facilitate the intuitive monitoring of the jacking operation by the management personnel, standardize the operation process, effectively solve the safety supervision problem during tower crane jacking operation, and improve the safety management and safety of the jacking operation.

[0068] The specific technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0069] The present invention proposes a method for monitoring key connection points during tower crane jacking operation, wherein the tower crane structure includes: the main limb 1 of the standard section, the step 2, the jacking cross beam 3, the safety pin 4, the safety pin handle 5, the movable climbing claw 6, and the main limb 7 of the jacking sleeve frame. The overall structure schematic diagram is as Figure 7 shown.

[0070] Set around the target tower crane: a high-definition camera, an industrial control computer, a wireless transmission unit and a ground tower crane monitoring terminal for monitoring key connection points during the jacking operation. The system block diagram is asFigure 2 as shown

[0071] Among them, the images of the high-definition cameras can cover the jacking crossbeam 3, the safety pin 4, the safety pin handle 5, and the movable climbing claw 6. The high-definition cameras can identify whether the safety pin 4 and the movable climbing claw 5 are in what working state, transmit signals to the industrial control computer according to various states of the key connection points and conduct voice announcements, and display them on the ground tower crane monitoring terminal interface, facilitating the supervision of the jacking operation or the tower crane operation.

[0072] The state of the key connection points is the working state of the jacking crossbeam safety pin 4 and the movable climbing claw 6.

[0073] The number of high-definition cameras is at least 4.

[0074] The installation positions of the four high-definition cameras are on the jacking sleeve. Two of the cameras are directed at the movable climbing claw 6, and the other two high-definition cameras are directed at the safety pins 4 at both ends of the jacking crossbeam.

[0075] The high-definition cameras are installed using strong magnets.

[0076] Only when all the movable climbing claws 6 and the jacking crossbeam safety pins 4 are in the normal working state required by this operation process, is the next process allowed. During the jacking operation, voice announcements are made in real time, and for abnormal working states, the operators are required to make rectifications.

[0077] The working states include the safe in-place state, the unsafe in-place state, and the not in-place state.

[0078] Draw different color labels, such as red, green, and white, or labels of different shapes, such as square or other shapes, on the working axis end of the safety pin 4.

[0079] Taking the color labels as an example, the sizes of the red and white color labels occupy 1 / 4 of the area of the tail end of the safety pin 4 when it is not in use, and the interval size of the labels occupies 1 / 4 of the area of the tail end of the safety pin 4 when it is not in use. The size of the green color label occupies 1 / 2 of the area of the safety pin handle 5. Use the YOLO v8 algorithm (reference: https: / / blog.csdn.net / Natsuago / article / details / 135785356?spm=1001.2014.3001.5506) to identify the color labels to determine what working state the safety pin is in. The specific judgment method is as follows:

[0080] When both the red and white color labels are recognized simultaneously, it is in the not in-place state. When and only when the red color label is recognized, it is in the unsafe in-place state. When and only when the green color label is recognized, it is in the safe in-place state.

[0081] Draw color labels on the flipping action end and the fixed end of the movable climbing claw 6, such as blue strip-shaped labels. It is best to be strip-shaped (convenient for extracting linear features and calculating the angle), and the color can be other colors but avoid repeating the color of the safety pin label.

[0082] Taking the color label as an example, use the YOLO v8 algorithm to identify the color label and calculate the angle formed by the color label to obtain the inclination angle of the climbing claw 6 with respect to the reference plane. Compare the inclination angle with the in-place state angle of the climbing claw 6 to determine what working state the climbing claw is in. The specific judgment method is as follows:

[0083] When no blue label is recognized or only one blue color label is recognized, it is in the not-in-place state. When the angle is within the range of 0° to 85°, it is in the unsafe in-place state. When the angle is within the range of 85° to 95°, it is in the safe in-place state. The above angle range settings are for reference only and can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0084] Taking the use of color labels as an example, collect the images containing color labels, such as images of red, green, white, and blue color labels on a yellow background that conforms to the tower crane color, and use the labelimg method (reference: https: / / blog.csdn.net / didiaopao / article / details / 119808973?ops_request_misc=%257B%2522request%255Fid%2522%253A%2522bc53c740dc05388eaf8fb6146f0efb4f%2522%252C%2522scm%2522%253A%252220140713.130102334..%2522%257D&request_id=bc53c740dc05388eaf8fb6146f0efb4f&biz_id=0&utm_medium=distribute.pc_search_result.none-task-blog-2~all~top_positive~default-2-119808973-null-null.142^v101^pc_search_result_base9&utm_term=labelimg&spm=1018.2226.3001.4187) for annotation and train the YOLOv8n model.

[0085] As Figure 6As shown, when determining what working state the active climbing claw is in, a pre-trained YOLOv8n model is used to detect the targets in the image, identify the target categories (such as the blue label image category shows blue). When no blue label is recognized or only one blue color label is recognized, a voice alarm prompts that the jacking operation is not allowed. When two blue long-strip color labels are recognized simultaneously, image preprocessing is performed on the two blue label images respectively. The original image is converted into a grayscale image, which can reduce the computational complexity and improve the robustness of edge detection at the same time. Gaussian filtering is performed on the grayscale image to reduce noise interference. Then, the Canny edge detection (reference: https: / / blog.csdn.net / Natsuago / article / details / 143665040?ops_request_misc=%257B%2522r equest%255Fid%2522%253A%2522bc53c740dc05388eaf8fb6146f0efb4f%2522%252C%2522scm%2522%253A%252220140713.130102334..%2522%257D&request_id=bc53c740dc05388eaf8fb6146f0efb4f&biz_id=0&utm_medium=distribute.pc_search_result.none-task-bl og-2~all~sobaiduend~default-6-143665040-null-null.142^v101^pc_search_result_base9&ut m_term=labelimg&spm=1018.2226.3001.4187) method is used to extract the edge information in the image to provide feature data for subsequent line detection. Then, the Hough transform is used to extract the line features from the edge image.

[0086] Using the lines detected by the Hough transform in the previous step, the RANSAC algorithm is then used to fit the optimal line, obtaining the slope and intercept of the line after fitting, and drawing the line. Two lines are finally drawn for the two blue long-strip color labels. Calculate the included angle between the two lines. Then, in order to reduce the volatility of the detection data and improve the stability of the calculation results, the Kalman filter is used to smooth the angle values. Finally, the working state of the climbing claw is judged based on the smoothed angle data.

[0087] The Yolov8 pre-trained model is combined with an online data update strategy to improve the state perception ability of the camera for the safety pin 4 and the climbing claw 6, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the detection.

[0088] The industrial control computer uses a wireless transmission unit to transmit wireless signals to the ground tower crane monitoring terminal, facilitating supervisors to monitor the tower crane jacking operation in real time.

[0089] The high-definition camera adopts a wired connection scheme with the industrial control computer for wired signal transmission and power supply.

[0090] Embodiment:

[0091] The following uses a specific actual example to illustrate the key connection point monitoring method for the tower crane jacking operation proposed by the present invention. This method includes the standard section main limb 1, the step 2, the jacking crossbeam 3, the safety pin 4, the safety pin handle 5, the movable climbing claw 6, the jacking sleeve main limb 7, the high-definition camera, the industrial control computer, the wireless transmission unit, and the ground tower crane monitoring terminal. The image of the high-definition camera can cover the Figure 1 shown jacking crossbeam 3, safety pin 4, safety pin handle 5, and movable climbing claw 6.

[0092] Among them, the state of the key connection point is the working state of the jacking crossbeam safety pin 4 and the movable climbing claw 6. The structure of the jacking machine crossbeam is as Figure 7 shown.

[0093] Set around the target tower crane: a high-definition camera, an industrial control computer, a wireless transmission unit, and a ground tower crane monitoring terminal for monitoring the key connection points of the jacking operation. The system framework is as Figure 2 shown.

[0094] Among them, when the high-definition camera can identify that all safety pins 4 and movable climbing claws 6 are in the normal working state required by this operation process, the next process is allowed. During the jacking operation, voice announcements are made in real time, and operators are required to rectify abnormal working states.

[0095] Among them, the installation positions of the four high-definition cameras are on the jacking sleeve. Two of the cameras are directed at the movable climbing claws, and the other two high-definition cameras are directed at the safety pins at both ends of the jacking crossbeam.

[0096] Among them, the working states include the safe in-place state, the unsafe in-place state, and the not in-place state.

[0097] In a specific embodiment, for the safety pin 4 of the jacking crossbeam 3, red 10, green 12, and white square color labels 11 are drawn on the working axis end of the safety pin 4. The sizes of the red 10 and white color labels 11 occupy 1 / 4 of the area of the tail end of the safety pin 4 when it is not in use, and the label spacing size occupies 1 / 4 of the area of the tail end of the safety pin 4 when it is not in use. The size of the green color label 12 occupies 1 / 2 of the area of the safety pin handle 5. The specific installation positions are as Figure 3a , Figure 3b and Figure 3cAs shown in the figure, the YOLO v8 algorithm is used to identify color tags to determine the working state of the safety pin 4. When both the red color tag 10 and the white color tag 11 are identified simultaneously, it is in the not-in-place state. When and only when the red color tag 10 is identified, it is in the unsafe in-place state. When and only when the green color tag 12 is identified, it is in the safe in-place state.

[0098] In a specific embodiment, before the tower crane performs the jacking operation, when the camera monitoring is turned on, when no color tag is identified or the working state of the identified safety pin 4 is in an abnormal state, the industrial control computer will give a voice alarm and does not allow the jacking operation, requiring the operator to make rectifications.

[0099] In a specific embodiment, for the movable climbing claw 6, blue long-strip color tags are respectively drawn on the flipping working end and the fixed end of the movable climbing claw 6. The specific installation positions are as Figure 4 shown; the YOLO v8 algorithm is used to identify the color tags, calculate the angle formed by the color tags, and thus obtain the inclination angle of the climbing claw 6 with respect to the reference plane. By comparing the inclination angle with the in-place state angle of the climbing claw 6, it is determined what working state the climbing claw 6 is in. When no blue tag is identified or only one blue color tag is identified, it is in the not-in-place state. When the angle satisfies the range of 0° to 85°, it is in the unsafe in-place state. When the angle satisfies the range of 85° to 95°, it is in the safe in-place state. This set angle range is for reference only and can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0100] In a specific embodiment, before the specific implementation, the images (images of red, green, white, and blue color tags based on the yellow background color of the tower crane) need to be collected and labeled with labelimg to train the YOLOv8n model.

[0101] The specific steps for judging the working state of the jacking crossbeam are as follows:

[0102] Video frames are collected through the camera, and the pre-trained YOLOv8 model is used to detect the targets in the image, identify the target categories (red, green, white). When both the red color tag 10 and the white color tag 11 are identified simultaneously, it is in the not-in-place state. When and only when the red color tag 10 is identified, it is in the unsafe in-place state. When and only when the green color tag 12 is identified, it is in the safe in-place state.

[0103] The specific steps for judging the working state of the climbing claw are as follows:

[0104] Step 1: Target recognition

[0105] Video frames are collected through the camera, and the pre-trained YOLOv8 model is used to detect the targets in the image, identify the target category (blue), and obtain its bounding box coordinates.

[0106] Step 2: Image Preprocessing

[0107] Input: The target area detected by YOLOv8.

[0108] Processing procedure:

[0109] 1. Adopt the grayscale conversion formula:

[0110] I gray = 0.2989R + 0.5870G + 0.1140B

[0111] Convert the color image to a grayscale image to reduce the computational complexity.

[0112] 2. Use Gaussian filtering to remove noise. Use a 5×5 Gaussian kernel to perform weighted averaging on each pixel point and its neighborhood, so that the noise can be smoothed.

[0113]

[0114] Among them, (x,y) = (5,5) represents the size of the Gaussian kernel, that is, a 5×5 neighborhood is taken for calculation; the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel in the X direction (i.e., σ) is set to 1.0 here.

[0115] 3. Use the Canny algorithm to extract the edge information in the image to provide feature data for subsequent line detection.

[0116] Output: The edge image of the target

[0117] Step 3: Line Detection

[0118] Input: The binary image after Canny edge detection.

[0119] Processing procedure:

[0120] 1. Adopt the Hough transform to detect the lines in the image. The transformation formula is as follows:

[0121] ρ = xcosθ + ysinθ

[0122] Among them, ρ is the distance from the point to the origin, and θ is the polar angle.

[0123] 2. Determine the line that best matches the target features through a voting mechanism.

[0124] Output: The set of lines within the target area.

[0125] Step 4: Line Fitting

[0126] Input: The lines detected by the Hough transform.

[0127] Processing procedure:

[0128] 1. Fit the optimal straight line using the RANSAC algorithm, randomly sample points and calculate the straight line equation:

[0129] y = mx + b

[0130] where m is the slope and b is the intercept.

[0131] 2. Calculate the distances from all data points to the straight line:

[0132]

[0133] 3. Select the straight line with the most inliers as the final fitting result.

[0134] Output: the slope m and intercept b of the straight line.

[0135] Step 5: Angle calculation

[0136] Input: the slopes m1 and m2 of two straight lines obtained by straight line fitting.

[0137] Calculate the included angle between the two straight lines:

[0138]

[0139] Output: the included angle data between the targets.

[0140] Step 6: Kalman filter optimization

[0141] Input: the calculated included angle value.

[0142] Processing procedure: reduce the volatility of the data, and use the Kalman filter to smooth the angle data.

[0143] Output: the smoothed angle data.

[0144] Finally, judge the working state of the climbing claws through the smoothed angle data, and the final displayed result image is as Figure 5 shown.

[0145] In a specific embodiment, a pre-trained model is adopted in combination with an online data update strategy to improve the state perception ability of the camera for the safety pin 4 and the climbing claw 6, and ensure the stability and accuracy of detection.

[0146] In a specific embodiment, the industrial control computer uses a wireless transmission unit to transmit wireless signals to the ground tower crane monitoring terminal, facilitating the supervisors to monitor the tower crane jacking operation in real time.
