[0003] In the prior art solution, patent publication number "CN216199356U," the pile gripper's clamping cylinder is a key component of the gripper's hydraulic system. In practice, after the pile is hoisted into position, the gripper's arm cylinders drive the left and right gripping arms to close. Once the arms are fully encircled, the vertical locking cylinders lock the arms. The clamping cylinders activate, securing the pile in the center. To open the gripper, the vertical locking cylinders are first raised and opened, while the clamping cylinders are retracted and released, allowing the gripper arms to open.
[0004] However, the current clamping cylinder of the pile gripper is not efficient enough during execution. In addition, the clamping cylinder is not equipped with a limit switch.

[0064] Figure 1 It is an overall flow chart of the method for executing the clamping cylinder of the pile gripper described in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0065] In actual use, after the pile is hoisted into position, the pile gripper's arm cylinders drive the left and right arms to close. Once the arms are fully encircled, the vertical locking cylinders lock the arms. The clamping cylinders then actuate, securing the pile in the center. To open the pile gripper, the vertical locking cylinders are first raised and opened, while the clamping cylinders are retracted and released, allowing the arms to open.
[0066] However, the current clamping cylinder of the pile gripper is not efficient enough during execution. In addition, the clamping cylinder is not equipped with a limit switch. The start and stop of each cylinder requires the operator to make his own judgment based on the actual situation on site, which has poor accuracy.
[0067] This invention incorporates a comprehensive execution model and signal processing mechanism to achieve automated and intelligent control of cylinder movements. This eliminates the uncertainty and errors inherent in manual judgment, improves the platform's response speed and control accuracy, and reduces operator workload and operational risks. Through a combined debugging and optimization process, the platform's performance is continuously improved to adapt to varying operating conditions and requirements.

[0083] Step 2-2: When the clamping cylinder retracts and touches the limit switch at the retraction end, the PLC stops the retraction action immediately after receiving the touch signal, ensuring that the cylinder is fully retracted and ready for the next action;
[0084] Step 2-3: Design a logic interlock to prevent the clamping cylinder from receiving both extend and retract commands simultaneously during operation, thus preventing cylinder failure.

[0108] Steps 2-3 use Boolean variables for precise status identification, improving the accuracy and efficiency of interlock judgment. Compared to traditional fuzzy judgment methods, Boolean variables can more clearly and accurately reflect the cylinder's operating status.

[0141] Step 3-3: Based on the feedback information, monitor and diagnose the action of the cylinder, detect abnormal conditions in time and issue an alarm.
[0142] Step 3-3 specifically includes:
[0143] Accurately identify normal and abnormal cylinder movement patterns. Quickly detect abnormal situations and ensure timely alarms. Reduce false alarm rates and improve alarm accuracy.
[0144] Main steps:
[0145] 1. Data collection and preprocessing:
[0146] (1) Collect the position data of the oil cylinder at a high frequency to ensure the integrity and timeliness of the data.
[0147] (2) Smooth the collected data to remove spikes and noise.
[0148] (3) Convert the processed data into a format suitable for analysis.
[0149] The above provides a high-quality data foundation for subsequent action analysis.
[0150] 2. Action pattern analysis:
[0151] (1) Establish a model of the normal operation of the cylinder, which can be based on historical data or theoretical calculations.
[0152] (2) Use machine learning algorithms (such as support vector machines, decision trees, etc.) to compare real-time data with normal models.
[0153] (3) Update the normal action model in real time to adapt to changes in cylinder performance.
[0154] The above can accurately determine whether the action of the cylinder is normal.
[0155] 3. Abnormal detection and alarm:
[0156] (1) Set an abnormal threshold and judge it as abnormal when the real-time data exceeds the threshold range.
[0157] (2) Use multi-parameter comprehensive judgment to combine position, speed, acceleration and other parameters to improve the accuracy of anomaly detection.
[0158] (3) Once an abnormality is detected, the alarm mechanism is triggered immediately and the operator is notified through sound and light.
[0159] The above can detect abnormal situations in time and issue effective alarms.
[0160] Based on this, machine learning algorithms are applied to motion pattern analysis, enabling adaptive learning and recognition of complex motion patterns. Compared to traditional fixed threshold judgment methods, this approach offers greater accuracy and flexibility. It uses multiple parameters to comprehensively judge abnormalities, reducing the possibility of misjudgment based on a single parameter. This consideration of more factors improves the reliability of anomaly detection. By incorporating real-time data to update the normal motion model, the system achieves greater adaptability and robustness. It can cope with changes in cylinder performance over time, maintaining effective monitoring results.
[0161] Step 3-3 provides timely and accurate signal processing and feedback, which enables the operator to understand the working status of the cylinder and facilitate timely adjustment and maintenance.
[0162] The beneficial effects of the present invention are that, compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present invention include:
[0163] The use of new, high-precision, and highly reliable limit switches improves the accuracy and stability of position detection. These new limit switches enable more precise detection of cylinder position, reducing errors and malfunctions, and enhancing the platform's operating efficiency and reliability. A comprehensive execution model and signal processing mechanism are designed to enable automated and intelligent control of cylinder movements. This eliminates the uncertainty and errors inherent in manual judgment, improves the platform's response speed and control accuracy, and reduces operator workload and operational risks. Through a combined debugging and optimization process, the platform's performance is continuously improved to adapt to varying operating conditions and requirements. This ensures the platform's flexibility and adaptability in practical applications, extends the equipment's service life, and reduces maintenance costs.
