[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a debugging system for the gate mechanism of a ship lift includes:
[0020] The electrical control system testing module is used to perform a comprehensive pre-power-on inspection and functional verification of the gate mechanism control system. This module systematically tests the voltage, continuity, and operating status of circuits and electronic components in each electrical cabinet to form a preliminary judgment and automatically summarizes all test results and judgment conclusions to generate a standardized Excel report. During this process, the system's embedded time encoder will add a unique time identifier to each report to ensure the traceability of records and the timeliness of reporting.
[0021] The network communication detection module aims to verify the smoothness of the data link and the accuracy of signal transmission of the entire control system. This module sends simulated control commands to the upper gate mechanism and simultaneously collects real-time screen information and feedback parameters from various position sensors during the response process. It then performs comprehensive comparison and analysis to make a judgment on the network communication status and signal quality, and reports the final diagnostic results to the central processing unit.
[0022] The mechanism operation status monitoring module is responsible for dynamic performance testing of the core actuators of the upper gate. Based on the single-machine debugging mode, this module drives the transmission system of the upper gate working door and the emergency maintenance door to perform preset actions. During this process, it comprehensively collects and records the operating parameters of key sensors such as encoders, load instruments, and torque meters. By comparing and analyzing the measured data with the system's preset rated parameters, it assesses the operational health status of the mechanism and reports its judgment status.
[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electrical control system detection module includes a power-on test unit. The execution process of this unit is as follows: First, the operator closes each circuit switch in the electrical control cabinet one by one according to the established procedures, and initially observes and confirms whether the power-on status of the components is normal. If any abnormality is found, a multimeter or other tools are used manually to conduct in-depth electrical troubleshooting to locate the fault point. After all faults are eliminated and the system status is normal, the test results are finally reported and recorded through a handheld mobile terminal.
[0024] Furthermore, the electrical control system testing module also includes a PLC and remote I / O rack power-on inspection unit. The execution process of this unit is as follows: the PLC main rack and remote I / O rack are powered on manually in sequence; then, the PLC CPU module is switched to the running mode, and it is confirmed that no fault alarm indicator lights are lit on its panel; at the same time, the status indicator lights of each module on all remote I / O racks are checked to see if they are displayed normally. After all checks are correct, the power-on inspection results are reported and logged through a handheld device.
[0025] Furthermore, in the embodiments provided by the invention, the network communication detection module includes a remote I / O reading test unit. The core of this test is to verify the communication link between the local control station and the remote I / O station. During the test, the local control station at the upper gate attempts to read the configuration and status information of all modules on its subordinate remote I / O rack. If this information can be read stably and correctly, the network connection is determined to be successful and valid.
[0026] Furthermore, in the embodiments provided by the invention, the network communication detection module includes a PLC module read / write channel detection unit, which is used to verify the correctness of the wiring and signal response capability of the digital input channel. During the test, by triggering the on-site position switches, pressure switches, external buttons and other signal transmitting devices, the status of the channel indicator lights of the digital input module corresponding to the PLC and the signal changes in the software are observed. If all trigger signals can be accurately mapped to the corresponding I / O address, it proves that the on-site wiring is correct.
[0027] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the PLC module read / write channel detection unit is further responsible for testing the analog input channel. The specific testing steps are as follows: Simulate continuous physical quantity signals such as opening degree, pressure, temperature, oil level, position, torque, and speed using a standard signal generator or by directly operating field sensors; In the online state of the control system, check the numerical code values read by the corresponding analog input channel, high-speed counting channel, and SSI channel in real time on the host computer or programming software; If the code value can change normally within its theoretical range, and the value read by the PLC is consistent with the actual physical value or standard electrical signal value of the simulated given signal, it can be determined that the analog input channel is correctly wired and the conversion function is normal.
[0028] Secondly, the mechanism operation status monitoring module includes a single-unit debugging unit for the upper gate working door transmission system. This unit executes precise opening and closing control commands to the upper gate working door through the local control station. During this process, it closely monitors the actual opening and closing status, stroke position, and speed of the working door. At the same time, it synchronously collects and records the operating parameters output by the associated encoder, load instrument, and torque meter. Based on the comparison of these real-time data with the rated parameters, the system will make a comprehensive judgment on the current performance and status of the working door transmission system.
[0029] Furthermore, the mechanism operation status monitoring module also includes a single-machine debugging unit for the upper gate emergency maintenance door transmission system. The execution logic of this unit is the same as that of the working door debugging unit, but its application object is the upper gate emergency maintenance door. By performing independent opening and closing control on the emergency maintenance door and simultaneously monitoring its actual action response and the operating parameters of the encoder, load instrument, and torque meter connected to it, the system can independently evaluate the performance and determine the status of the backup or maintenance transmission system.
[0030] The solution involves debugging the upper gate mechanism to determine the architecture and operating status of its electrical control system, sensors, drives, and other components, thereby enabling timely detection and handling to ensure the smooth operation of the mechanism.
