The environmental and working condition data include the structural displacement under wind load, the thermal stress caused by the temperature gradient, the motor power factor fluctuation, and the pulley bearing temperature change rate, labeled as Sd, Sg, Sm, and Sp, respectively.

3. The control method for a digital twin of a gantry crane according to claim 1, characterized in that: The preset value of the comprehensive anomaly index is denoted as η. Def When η Def When η ≥ η, it indicates that no abnormality has occurred in the target gantry crane, so the acquisition and analysis of the target gantry crane will continue. Def When the value is less than η, it indicates that the target gantry crane is malfunctioning. The target gantry crane will be marked as malfunctioning and an early warning signal will be sent to the management personnel terminal.

4. A control system for a digital twin of a gantry crane, used to implement the control method for a digital twin of a gantry crane as described in any one of claims 1-3, comprising a central processing module, an operating database, and a user information terminal, characterized in that, Also includes: The monitoring time division module is used to determine the monitoring time of the target gantry crane as the target time area, and divides the target time area into sub-time areas by equal time division, and marks them as 1, 2...n in sequence; The data acquisition module is used to collect structural stress data, kinematic data, dynamic performance data, and environmental and working condition data of the target gantry crane in each sub-time zone, and transmit the collected data to the data analysis module. The data analysis module is used to analyze the data transmitted by the data acquisition module, including structural stress data analysis unit, kinematic data analysis unit, dynamic performance data analysis unit, and environmental and working condition data analysis unit, and transmits the analysis results to the comprehensive analysis module. The comprehensive analysis module is used to establish a comprehensive analysis model. The comprehensive analysis model is used to perform comprehensive analysis on the data transmitted by the data analysis module. The data transmitted by the data analysis module is imported into the comprehensive analysis model to calculate the comprehensive anomaly index of the target gantry crane and transmit it to the control module. The control module is used to establish a preset value for the comprehensive anomaly index, judge the abnormal state of the target gantry crane based on the preset value of the comprehensive anomaly index, and issue control commands based on the judgment result.

5. A computer-readable storage medium, characterized in that, The computer program is stored that can be loaded by a processor and executed as described in any one of claims 1-3.
