Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of building construction, and more particularly relates to a bridge crane sliding contact line support installation automatic measurement method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production and operation system of heavy industrial plants, the crane is the core cooperation equipment for lifting, maintaining and production process of large equipment, and its stable operation is directly related to the production efficiency and safety of the whole plant. The continuous operation of the crane depends on the stable power supply of the rigid sliding contact line, which makes the installation quality of the rigid sliding contact line support a key link. These supports are usually made of angle steel and installed on the high-altitude track beam support, and the installation precision and stability of the support have an important influence on the safe operation of the crane.
[0003] Currently, there are many problems to be solved in the installation method of rigid sliding contact line support. The installation personnel need to use a simple basket for high-altitude operation, and use a manual ruler and a level to measure and position. The error of manual operation is large, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the support installation, which may cause poor contact between the rigid sliding contact line and the crane current collector, affecting the stability of power supply, and even causing equipment failure. On the other hand, the construction efficiency of manual operation is very low. In the high-altitude environment, the movements of the installation personnel are limited, and a lot of time is needed to measure and adjust for each support installed, which seriously restricts the progress of the project. More importantly, the safety of the simple basket is poor, and high-altitude operation itself has a high risk, and the simple operation platform further increases the probability of safety accidents such as falling and object impact of the installation personnel.
[0004] The current positioning device can only position the installation of one sliding contact line support at a time. When the next support needs to be installed, the positioning device must be reinstalled at the new installation position, which undoubtedly increases the operation steps and time cost, reduces the installation efficiency, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale and rapid installation. Some positioning devices are designed for a specific model of crane sliding contact line support, and lack of universality. When facing different models and specifications of supports, the equipment needs to be redesigned or adjusted, increasing the equipment investment and use cost of enterprises. Some auxiliary machine tools have low automation degree and can only complete part of the operation link, cannot realize the whole process automation operation of moving, clamping, positioning and welding, still need manual intervention, and cannot fully play the advantages of automatic equipment.
[0005] In the research and application of automatic installation equipment, the measurement and positioning speed and accuracy during installation are the key factors restricting its development. Precise and rapid measurement and positioning can ensure the consistency and accuracy of the bracket installation, lay a good foundation for subsequent welding and other processes, and thus improve the quality and efficiency of the entire installation process. If there are defects in the measurement and positioning link, not only the installation quality of the bracket will be affected, but also the running efficiency of the automatic equipment will be greatly reduced, and the expected automation effect cannot be achieved. SUMMARY
[0006] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present application provides a bridge crane sliding contact line bracket installation automatic measurement method and system, which measures in two mutually perpendicular directions by using two electronic levels, ingeniously converts the perpendicularity measurement into the levelness measurement, realizes the online real-time monitoring of the perpendicularity during the installation process, effectively guides the installation operation, and speeds up the measurement, adjustment and installation speed. At the same time, through the perpendicularity measuring device and the first, second and third distance range finders, the perpendicularity of the sliding contact line bracket, the distance from the track beam, the distance from the moving trolley and the distance from the first sliding contact line bracket are measured respectively, so that each sliding contact line bracket can accurately meet the design requirements during installation, thereby improving the installation speed of the sliding contact line bracket, greatly improving the safety and reliability of the installation process through accurate measurement and real-time monitoring, reducing the frequency and time of the operating personnel in high-altitude operation, and reducing the safety risk.
[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, according to the first aspect of the present application, a bridge crane sliding contact line bracket installation automatic measurement method is provided, comprising the following steps: S100: a mounting plate is vertically fixed and mounted at the end of the gripper mounting rod, and a perpendicularity measuring device, a first distance measuring device, a second distance measuring device and a third distance range finder are mounted on the mounting plate, and a camera is mounted on the last section of the mechanical arm; S200: measuring the perpendicularity of the sliding contact line bracket by using the perpendicularity measuring device; S300: measuring the distance between the sliding contact line bracket and the top of the moving trolley by using the first distance range finder; S400: measuring the distance between the sliding contact line bracket and the track beam by using the third distance range finder; S500: measuring the distance between each sliding contact line bracket by using the second distance range finder; S600: during the entire measurement process, the camera assists the operator to observe the adjustment and installation of the sliding contact line bracket, so as to adjust the operation in time.
[0008] Further, in step S200, the verticality measuring device consists of two electronic levels, which are set perpendicular to each other. When both of the perpendicular electronic levels show a horizontal position, it can be determined that the mounting plate is in a horizontal state. Since the mounting plate and the clamp mounting rod are perpendicular to each other, it is determined that the clamp mounting rod is in a vertical state. Also, since the sliding contact line support column of the sliding contact line bracket is parallel to the clamp mounting rod, it is determined that the sliding contact line support column of the sliding contact line bracket is vertical.
[0009] Furthermore, in step 300, the first distance measuring instrument is a reflective distance measuring instrument, and also includes a first reflective device. The first reflective device is fixedly installed on the upper part of the mobile trolley. The distance between the sliding contact line bracket and the mobile trolley is measured by the first distance measuring instrument, and the distance between the sliding contact line bracket and the mobile trolley is adjusted to a preset value by adjusting the robotic arm.
[0010] Furthermore, in step 400, the track beam is used as a reflective surface. By adjusting the position of the sliding contact line support, the distance between the sliding contact line support and the track beam measured by the third distance measuring instrument is at a preset value, ensuring that all sliding contact line supports are in the same plane, and completing the measurement and adjustment of the straightness of the sliding contact line side.
[0011] Further, in step 500, taking the first installed conductor rail bracket as a reference, a second reflective device is fixedly installed on it. The distance between the conductor rail bracket to be installed and the first installed conductor rail bracket is measured by a second distance measuring instrument. The conductor rail bracket to be installed is adjusted by a robotic arm so that the spacing between adjacent brackets meets the design requirements and remains consistent, thus completing the measurement and adjustment of the conductor rail bracket spacing.
[0012] Furthermore, the verticality measuring device, the first distance measuring instrument, the second distance measuring instrument, and the third distance measuring instrument are connected to the operating console and transmit the measurement data to the control system of the operating console in real time. The control system analyzes and processes the data and automatically prompts for direction adjustment according to the preset error range, assisting the operator in completing the measurement and adjustment operations.
[0013] Furthermore, in step 600, the real-time images captured by the camera are transmitted to the display device on the operating table. The operator can observe the relative position of the sliding contact line bracket and the track beam, the clamping status of the gripper, and the condition of the welding area through the images. When the positional deviation shown in the image exceeds the preset threshold, the operator can make targeted adjustments based on the ranging data.
[0014] Furthermore, the control system of the operating platform can automatically store the measurement data of each sliding contact line bracket, including verticality, distance from the track beam, distance from the moving trolley, and spacing from the first sliding contact line bracket, and form an installation record for easy subsequent traceability and verification.
[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, an automatic measurement system for the installation of a bridge crane sliding contact line bracket is provided, comprising: Measuring device mounting module: A mounting plate is vertically fixed to the end of the gripper mounting rod. A verticality measuring device, a first distance measuring device, a second distance measuring device, and a third distance rangefinder are mounted on the mounting plate. A camera is also mounted on the last section of the robotic arm. Verticality measurement module: Uses a verticality measuring device to measure the verticality of the sliding contact line support; Distance measurement module between the top of the mobile trolley and the top of the mobile trolley: The distance between the sliding contact line bracket and the top of the mobile trolley is measured using a first distance measuring instrument; Distance measurement module between the track beam and the track beam: The distance between the sliding contact line support and the track beam is measured using a third distance measuring instrument; Support spacing measurement module: Utilizes a second distance measuring instrument to measure the distance between each sliding contact line support; Auxiliary observation module: Throughout the measurement process, a camera assists the operator in observing the adjustment and installation of the sliding contact line bracket, allowing for timely adjustments to the operation.
[0016] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above-described technical solutions conceived by this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. The automatic measurement method for installing the sliding contact line support of the bridge crane of the present invention uses two electronic levels to measure in mutually perpendicular directions, which cleverly converts the verticality measurement into the horizontality measurement, realizes online real-time monitoring of verticality during the installation process, effectively guides the installation operation, and speeds up the measurement, adjustment and installation.
[0017] 2. The automatic measurement method for installing the sliding contact line support of the bridge crane of the present invention, through a verticality measuring device, can accurately measure the verticality of the sliding contact line support, ensuring that it maintains the correct posture during installation. The first distance measuring instrument is used to measure the distance between the sliding contact line support and the track beam, the second distance measuring instrument is used to measure the distance between the sliding contact line support and the moving trolley, and the third distance measuring instrument is used to measure the distance between the sliding contact line support and the first sliding contact line support, ensuring that each sliding contact line support can accurately meet the design requirements during installation, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the entire installation process.
[0018] 3. The automatic measurement method for installing the sliding contact line support of the bridge crane of the present invention realizes the mechanization and automation of the measurement work, improves the installation speed of the sliding contact line support, and significantly improves the safety and reliability of the installation process through precise measurement and real-time monitoring. The automatic measurement technology can quickly and accurately acquire various key data of the sliding contact line support during the installation process, such as verticality, horizontality, and spacing, thereby ensuring that each support can be installed accurately. The automated system can provide real-time feedback of measurement results, helping operators to adjust the installation position in a timely manner, avoiding safety hazards caused by human error, and reducing the frequency and time of operators working at height, further reducing safety risks.

[0025] In this patent, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0026] Example 1 like Figures 1-4 As shown, according to a first aspect of the present invention, an automatic measurement method for installing a sliding contact line bracket of a bridge crane is provided, comprising the following steps: S100: A mounting plate 5 is vertically fixed at the end of the gripper mounting rod 4. A verticality measuring device 6, a first distance measuring device 7, a second distance measuring device 8, and a third distance measuring instrument 9 are mounted on the mounting plate. At the same time, a camera 10 is mounted on the last section of the robotic arm 3. Specifically, the bridge crane sliding contact line support installation device includes a mobile trolley 1, which is located on the top of the track beam 19. Multiple mechanical arms 3 are rotatably mounted on the top front end of the mobile trolley 1. The last section of the mechanical arm 3 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 15 via an upper clamping nut 16 and a lower clamping nut 17. A second transmission gear 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a gripper mounting rod 4 is fixedly connected to its end. A rotary motor 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the last section of the mechanical arm 3. A first transmission gear 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 12. The first transmission gear 13 and the second transmission gear 14 mesh with each other. Multiple grippers 11 are slidably connected to the gripper mounting rod 4. An mounting plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the end of the gripper mounting rod 4. A verticality measuring device 6, a first distance measuring instrument 7, a second distance measuring instrument 8, and a third distance measuring instrument are fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 5. The combined design of the mobile trolley 1 and the multi-section robotic arm 3 allows the device to move flexibly on the track beam 19. Simultaneously, the robotic arm 3 can rotate at multiple angles and extend in multiple directions, meeting the installation requirements of the sliding contact line bracket 20 at different positions. This reduces the hassle of manual handling and adjustment, improving the flexibility and convenience of the installation operation. Secondly, the rotary motor 12 drives the first transmission gear 13, which in turn drives the second transmission gear 14. This precisely controls the rotation angle of the gripper mounting rod 4 and the gripper 11, ensuring that the bracket is adjusted to the optimal angle during installation, guaranteeing the accuracy of the installation position and avoiding installation quality problems caused by angular deviations. Furthermore, the sliding design of the gripper 11 on the mounting rod allows multiple grippers 11 to be flexibly adjusted in position according to the actual size and installation spacing of the bracket, enhancing the adaptability of the device to different specifications of sliding contact line brackets. This eliminates the need for frequent equipment replacement for different specifications of brackets, reducing operating costs. In addition, the multiple measuring devices integrated on the mounting plate 5 ensure the accuracy of the installation of the sliding contact line bracket 20, reducing errors from manual measurement, improving installation precision, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the sliding contact line bracket, and also shortening the commissioning time after installation, thus improving the overall installation efficiency.
[0027] Furthermore, a first reflective device 71 and a welding robot 18 are sequentially fixedly installed on the other side of the top of the mobile trolley 1. An operating platform 2 is located inside the robot. The first reflective device 71 works in conjunction with a first distance measuring instrument 7 to measure the distance between the sliding contact line bracket 20 and the mobile trolley 1 in real time. The integration of the welding robot 18 achieves the integration of bracket installation and welding operation. After the gripper fixes the bracket in the preset position, the welding robot can quickly respond and complete the welding process, eliminating the need for manual handling of welding equipment or multiple adjustments to the work position, significantly shortening the installation cycle, and reducing quality fluctuations that may occur with manual welding, ensuring that the welding strength meets standards. On the other hand, the operating platform 2 inside the mobile trolley provides a centralized control platform for operators. Workers can monitor key information such as the robotic arm's movements, measurement data, and welding status in real time through the operating platform, and can directly issue operating instructions, reducing the tediousness of on-site travel and dispersed operations, improving the coordination and efficiency of the operation, and also reducing the risk of operational errors caused by remote control delays or information asymmetry.
[0028] Furthermore, the sliding contact line bracket 20 includes a sliding contact line bracket column 201, a sliding contact line bracket cross brace 202, a connecting rod 203, and a reinforcing plate 204. Multiple parallel sliding contact line bracket cross braces 202 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sliding contact line bracket column 201, and all of the multiple sliding contact line bracket cross braces 202 are perpendicular to the sliding contact line bracket column 201. Parallel connecting rods 203 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sliding contact line bracket column 201. The other end of the connecting rod 203 is connected to the track beam 19 by welding, and a reinforcing plate 204 is welded to the side of the connecting rod 203. A second reflecting device 81 is provided on the first sliding contact line bracket 20 on the track beam 19. The second reflecting device 81 cooperates with a second distance measuring instrument 8 to measure the distance between the sliding contact line bracket 20 to be installed and the first sliding contact line bracket 20.
[0029] Furthermore, the last section of the robotic arm 3 is equipped with a camera 10, which can capture the movement of the sliding contact line bracket 20 in real time during installation, providing the operator with intuitive visual feedback. Through the real-time images transmitted by the camera 10, the operator can clearly observe the position, angle, and relative relationship of the sliding contact line bracket to other components, thereby promptly identifying and correcting any potential deviations. This real-time monitoring function not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the installation but also reduces safety hazards caused by inaccurate positioning, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire installation process. In addition, the high-definition imaging capability of the camera 10 provides strong support for subsequent installation quality checks, further enhancing the overall quality of the installation.
[0030] S200: Measure the verticality of the sliding contact line bracket 20 using the verticality measuring device 6; Furthermore, the verticality measuring device 6 consists of two electronic levels, which are set perpendicularly to each other. When both perpendicular electronic levels show a horizontal reading, it can be determined that the mounting plate 5 is in a horizontal state. Since the mounting plate 5 and the clamp mounting rod 6 are perpendicular to each other, it is determined that the clamp mounting rod 6 is in a vertical state. Also, since the sliding contact line support column 201 of the sliding contact line bracket 20 is parallel to the clamp mounting rod 6, it is determined that the sliding contact line support column 201 of the sliding contact line bracket 20 is vertical. Through the chain judgment logic of "mounting plate horizontal → clamp mounting rod vertical → sliding contact line support column vertical," and by utilizing the fixed vertical or parallel structural relationship between the components, the verticality status of the sliding contact line support column can be quickly determined without direct measurement, simplifying the measurement process and significantly improving measurement efficiency. This is especially suitable for rapid verification during batch installation of sliding contact line brackets, and allows for real-time monitoring of verticality during installation, facilitating timely adjustments and ensuring the standardization and stability of the sliding contact line bracket installation.
[0031] S300: Measure the distance between the sliding contact line bracket 20 and the top 1 of the moving trolley using the first distance measuring instrument 7; Furthermore, the first distance measuring instrument 7 is a reflective distance measuring instrument. By cooperating with the first reflective device 71 on the upper layer of the mobile trolley 1, the first distance measuring instrument 7 can measure the distance between the sliding contact line bracket 21 and the mobile trolley 1. Then, the position of the sliding contact line bracket 20 is adjusted by the robotic arm 3 and the rotary motor 12 so that the distance between it and the mobile trolley 1 is at a preset value.
[0032] Specifically, in terms of measurement accuracy, the reflective rangefinder, in conjunction with the first reflective device 71 fixed on the upper layer of the mobile trolley 1, can accurately capture the distance data between the sliding contact line bracket 21 and the mobile trolley 1. Compared with traditional manual measurement, this significantly improves the accuracy of distance measurement, providing reliable data support for subsequent adjustment operations. This design automates distance measurement, eliminating the need for repeated manual measurements using handheld measuring tools. Distance information can be obtained in real time solely through the first distance rangefinder 7. Operators can directly adjust the robotic arm 3 based on the measurement results, quickly bringing the distance between the sliding contact line bracket 21 and the mobile trolley 1 to the preset value. This simplifies the operation process, reduces manual labor intensity, and minimizes errors caused by manual measurement and adjustment. The precise automatic distance measurement, combined with the rapid adjustment of the robotic arm 3 and the rotary motor 12, forms a linkage that significantly shortens the position calibration time during the installation of the sliding contact line bracket 20. Especially in batch installation operations, it ensures that the distance between each bracket and the mobile trolley remains consistent, guaranteeing the standardization and uniformity of installation, thereby improving overall installation efficiency and laying a solid foundation for the subsequent laying and use of the sliding contact line.
[0033] S400: Measure the distance between the sliding contact line support 20 and the track beam 19 using the third distance measuring instrument 9; Furthermore, using the track beam 19 as a reflective surface, the distance between the sliding contact line bracket 20 and the track beam 19 is measured by the third distance measuring instrument 9. The position of the sliding contact line bracket 20 is adjusted by the robotic arm 3 and the rotary motor 12 so that the distance between the sliding contact line bracket 20 and the track beam 19 measured by the third distance measuring instrument 9 is at the preset value, ensuring that all sliding contact line brackets 20 are in the same plane, thus completing the measurement and adjustment of the straightness of the sliding contact line side.
[0034] Specifically, using the track beam 19 as a stable reflective surface provides a reliable measurement benchmark for the third distance measuring instrument 9, reducing the interference of external environmental factors on the distance measurement accuracy and enabling precise acquisition of the distance data between the sliding contact line support 20 and the track beam 19. The cooperation of the robotic arm 3 and the rotary motor 12 allows for fine-tuning of the position of the sliding contact line support 20, ensuring that the distance strictly conforms to the preset value, thereby guaranteeing that all supports are on the same plane and significantly improving the control accuracy of the straightness of the sliding contact line side. In terms of operational efficiency, this automated measurement and adjustment method eliminates the need for tedious manual measurement and adjustment. The third distance measuring instrument 9 can provide real-time distance information, and the robotic arm 3 and rotary motor 12 can quickly respond and execute adjustment actions, significantly shortening the calibration time for a single support. Especially when installing sliding contact line supports in batches, it can effectively improve overall work efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity.
[0035] S500: Measure the distance between each sliding contact line bracket 20 using the second distance measuring instrument 8; Furthermore, taking the first installed conductor rail bracket 20 as a reference, a second reflector 81 is fixedly installed on it. The distance between the conductor rail bracket 20 to be installed and the first installed conductor rail bracket 20 is measured by the second distance measuring instrument 8. The conductor rail bracket 20 to be installed is adjusted by the robotic arm 3 so that the spacing between adjacent brackets meets the design requirements and remains consistent, thus completing the measurement and adjustment of the conductor rail bracket spacing.
[0036] Specifically, taking the first installed conductor rail bracket 20 as the reference point, the distance S between each subsequently installed conductor rail bracket 20 and the reference point bracket is measured to ensure that the distance between each adjacent bracket is equal and meets the design requirements. The calculation formula is as follows: Where: S is the distance between the current sliding conductor rail bracket to be installed and the reference point sliding conductor rail bracket; n is the current support number (counting from the reference support). D represents the design spacing between adjacent supports.
[0037] S600: Throughout the measurement process, the camera 10 assists the operator in observing the adjustment and installation of the sliding contact line bracket 20 so as to make timely adjustments to the operation.
[0038] Furthermore, the real-time images captured by the camera 10 are transmitted to the display device on the control panel. The operator can observe the relative position of the sliding contact line bracket 20 and the track beam 19, the clamping status of the gripper 11, and the condition of the welding area through the images. When the positional deviation shown in the image exceeds the preset threshold, the operator can make targeted adjustments based on the distance measurement data.
[0039] Specifically, real-time images provide operators with an intuitive visual reference. Through the display device on the control panel 2, the relative position of the sliding contact line bracket 20 and the track beam 19, the clamping status of the gripper, and the condition of the welding area can be clearly observed, making operation more flexible and efficient, especially suitable for complex or difficult-to-observe working environments. When the positional deviation displayed in the image exceeds a preset threshold, the operator can make targeted adjustments based on the distance measurement data. The intuitive image helps operators quickly locate the deviation and its cause, while the distance measurement data provides a precise quantitative reference. The combination of the two makes adjustments more directional and accurate, effectively avoiding blind adjustments and ensuring that the installation position of the sliding contact line bracket 20 meets the requirements. This remote observation and operation method reduces the operator's exposure time in dangerous areas such as high altitudes and confined spaces, reducing the risk of accidents. At the same time, by monitoring the clamping status and welding area in real time, problems such as unstable clamping and welding abnormalities can be detected and dealt with quickly, preventing equipment damage or safety accidents caused by these problems, and ensuring the safety and stability of the operation process.
[0040] Furthermore, the verticality measuring device 6, the first distance measuring instrument 7, the second distance measuring instrument 8, and the third distance measuring instrument 9 are connected to the operating platform 2 and transmit the measurement data to the control system of the operating platform 2 in real time. The control system analyzes and processes the data and automatically prompts for direction adjustment according to the preset error range, assisting the operator in completing the measurement and adjustment operations.
[0041] Specifically, each measuring device synchronously transmits key data such as verticality and distance to the control system on the operating console 2. The control system performs professional analysis and processing of the real-time transmitted data, becoming an "intelligent brain" to assist operation. It compares the measured values with preset values and automatically prompts specific adjustment directions, significantly reducing the difficulty of operation. More importantly, this collaborative model of "real-time equipment monitoring + intelligent system analysis + precise human operation" achieves complementary advantages between humans and machines. The control system provides a scientific basis for manual adjustments through data integration and logical judgment, avoiding time waste or installation errors caused by blind operation. Meanwhile, operators, based on their comprehensive judgment of the site conditions and combined with real-time images transmitted by the camera, can flexibly optimize the adjustment directions prompted by the system, ensuring that each operation is more in line with actual needs. This efficient collaboration not only improves installation accuracy but also accelerates the work progress while ensuring quality, providing a reliable guarantee for the standardized and regulated installation of the sliding contact line bracket.

At the same time, a camera 10 is mounted on the last section of the robotic arm 3. Verticality measurement module: The verticality of the sliding contact line bracket 20 is measured using the verticality measuring device 6; Distance measurement module between the top of the mobile trolley: The distance between the sliding contact line bracket 20 and the top of the mobile trolley 1 is measured using the first distance measuring instrument 7; Distance measurement module between track beam and track beam: The distance between the sliding contact line bracket 20 and the track beam 19 is measured using the third distance measuring instrument 9; Support spacing measurement module: The distance between each sliding contact line support 20 is measured using a second distance measuring instrument 8; Auxiliary observation module: Throughout the measurement process, camera 10 assists the operator in observing the adjustment and installation of the sliding contact line bracket 20, allowing for timely adjustments.
