Description

Technical Field

[0002] A tower crane belt conveyor is an engineering machine that combines a tower crane with a belt conveyor for concrete pouring. The belt conveyor includes a feed belt, a transfer belt, an inner belt, and an outer belt. The feed belt transports concrete from the front feed line to the transfer belt, which then delivers the concrete to the inner belt. The inner belt then transports the concrete to the outer belt, which in turn delivers it to the placing hopper. The feed belt and transfer belt are fixed in place, while the inner and outer belts can move relative to each other, enabling efficient and continuous concrete transport and ensuring uninterrupted concrete pouring operations.

[0003] In existing technology, mechanical limit switches are used only in the boom plane to limit the relative movement between the inner and outer belts. However, during the relative movement between the inner and outer belts, the contacts of the limit switches may become loose. After repeated contact, the internal contact state of the limit switches may change. The contacts of the limit switches are prone to failure due to long-term wear, which may prevent the tower conveyor belt from stopping in time and cause safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0023] To better illustrate the safety control method for the tower conveyor provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a brief description of the prior art is given. Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates the structure of the tower belt conveyor in the boom plane according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1As shown, the tower belt conveyor includes an outer belt 11, an inner belt 13, a hook wire rope 15, a hook 16, and a winch ( Figure 1 The structure includes (not shown in the diagram), winch wire rope 17, tower body 18, boom 19, and trolley 20. Trolley 20 is mounted on boom 19 and runs along boom 19. Trolley 20 is connected to hook wire rope 15, with hook 16 at the end of hook wire rope 15. Hook 16 is connected to outer belt 11 and used to pull outer belt 11. One end of outer belt 11 is connected to inner belt 13, which is connected to winch wire rope 17. Winch wire rope 17 is used to pull inner belt 13. Winch wire rope 17 moves upwards or downwards via winch to pull inner belt 13. Winch is mounted on tower body 18 and runs along tower body 18. During lifting operations or winch operation, outer belt 11 and inner belt 13 experience relative movement in the vertical direction of the boom plane. The lifting operation includes the simultaneous upward or downward lifting of the hook wire rope 15 and the hook 16, and the winch operation includes the winch winding up or unwinding the winch wire rope 17.

[0024] Figure 2 The schematic diagram illustrates the structure of the limit switch and the baffle according to an embodiment of this application, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the limit switch 10 is located on the outer belt 11. The limit switch 10 includes a contact 12 at the upper end, and a baffle 14 is provided on the top of the contact 12. The baffle 14 is located on the inner belt 13. When the relative position of the outer belt 11 and the inner belt 13 changes, the contact 12 will come into contact with the baffle 14. After contact, the internal contact state of the limit switch changes, and the tower conveyor belt stops running in response to the change in contact state. The contact 12 of the limit switch is prone to failure due to long-term wear with the baffle 14, which may cause the tower conveyor belt to fail to stop in time, resulting in a safety risk.

[0025] Based on the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this application provides a safety control method for a tower belt conveyor, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The schematic diagram illustrates a safety control method for a tower belt conveyor according to an embodiment of this application. This application provides a safety control method for a tower belt conveyor, which includes an inner belt and an outer belt. The method may include the following steps: Step S110: Within the boom plane, obtain the first tilt angle between the inner belt and the horizontal direction and the second tilt angle between the outer belt and the horizontal direction; Step S120: Based on the target tilt angle and the preset tilt angle range, control the operation of the first target element so that the target tilt angle is within the preset tilt angle range, wherein the target tilt angle includes a first tilt angle and a second tilt angle; Step S130: In the horizontal plane, obtain the first angle between the inner belt and the horizontal direction and the second angle between the outer belt and the horizontal direction; Step S140: Based on the target angle and the preset angle range, control the operation of the second target element so that the target angle is within the preset angle range, wherein the target angle includes a first angle and a second angle.

[0026] In step S110, as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The viewpoint is the boom plane, and the first tilt angle represents the angle between the inner belt 13 and the horizontal plane. The second tilt angle represents the angle between the outer belt 13 and the horizontal plane. Among them, with the horizontal plane (blue dashed line) as the baseline, when the inner belt 13 runs clockwise around the baseline, the first tilt angle is... The value is negative; when the inner belt 13 is running counterclockwise around the baseline, the first tilt angle is... It is a positive value. When the outer belt 11 runs counterclockwise around the reference line, the second tilt angle is... It is a positive value; when the outer belt 11 runs clockwise around the reference line, the second tilt angle is... It is a negative value.

[0027] In step S120, the operation of the first target element is controlled according to the target tilt angle and the preset tilt angle range, so as to limit the first tilt angle and the second tilt angle to within the preset tilt angle range in which the tower conveyor can operate safely.

[0028] In step S130, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the tower belt conveyor in a horizontal plane according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The perspective is the horizontal plane, and the first included angle represents the angle between the inner belt 13 and the horizontal baseline. The second included angle represents the angle between the outer belt 11 and the horizontal baseline. When the inner belt 13 rotates counterclockwise around the horizontal baseline, the first included angle... It is a positive value; when the inner belt 13 runs clockwise around the horizontal baseline, the first included angle is... The value is negative. When the outer belt 11 runs counterclockwise around the horizontal baseline, the second included angle is... It is a positive value; when the outer belt 11 runs clockwise around the horizontal baseline, the second included angle is... It is a negative value.

[0029] In step S140, the operation of the first target element is controlled according to the target angle and the preset angle range, so as to limit the first angle and the second angle to the preset angle range within which the tower belt conveyor can operate safely.

[0030] In this embodiment, within the boom plane, a first tilt angle between the inner belt and the horizontal direction and a second tilt angle between the outer belt and the horizontal direction are obtained. Based on the first tilt angle, the second tilt angle, and a preset tilt angle range, the operation of the first target element is controlled so that the first tilt angle and the second tilt angle are within the preset tilt angle range. Within the horizontal plane, a first included angle between the inner belt and the horizontal direction and a second included angle between the outer belt and the horizontal direction are obtained. Based on the first included angle, the second included angle, and a preset included angle range, the operation of the second target element is controlled so that the included angle is within the preset included angle range. This limits the first tilt angle, the second tilt angle, the first included angle, and the second included angle to the safe operating angle range of the tower belt conveyor, effectively avoiding safety accidents caused by abnormal target tilt angles or included angles, reducing the operating risks of the tower belt conveyor caused by loose limit switches, internal aging, and wear in the prior art, thereby improving the operating safety of the tower belt conveyor.

[0031] Furthermore, the first target element includes a winch, the preset tilt angle range includes a first preset tilt angle range, and step S120 may include the following steps: Step S121: When the first tilt angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration tilt angle of the first tilt angle preset range, control the winch to wind up the rope at the speed of the winch operation preset gear. Step S122: If the first tilt angle is greater than the maximum preset stop tilt angle of the first tilt angle preset range, the winch is prohibited from winding the rope, wherein the maximum preset stop tilt angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration tilt angle; Step S123: When the first tilt angle is less than the minimum preset deceleration tilt angle within the preset range of the first tilt angle, control the winch to release the rope at the speed of the winch operation preset gear. Step S124: If the first tilt angle is less than the minimum preset stop tilt angle within the preset range of the first tilt angle, the winch is prohibited from releasing the rope, wherein the minimum preset stop tilt angle is less than the minimum preset deceleration tilt angle.

[0032] In step S121, under one example, the maximum preset deceleration angle within the first preset angle range is 90°. When the first angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration angle of 90° within the first preset angle range, the winch is controlled to wind the rope at the speed of the first winch operating gear. The winch operating gears include the first winch operating gear and the second winch operating gear, with the speed of the first winch operating gear being lower than the speed of the second winch operating gear. Winding the rope refers to the process of orderly retracting and winding the winch wire rope onto the drum by driving the winch drum to rotate. Using a low-speed gear on the winch results in a slower adjustment process, which is suitable for precise control when the target angle initially exceeds the maximum preset deceleration angle within the first preset angle range, avoiding rapid movements that could cause new imbalances.

[0033] In step S122, under one example, the maximum preset stop tilt angle of the first tilt angle preset range is 100°. When the first tilt angle is greater than the maximum preset stop tilt angle of 100° within the first tilt angle preset range, the winch winding is prohibited to prevent the first tilt angle from continuing to increase.

[0034] In step S123, under one example, the minimum preset deceleration angle within the first preset angle range is -150°. When the first angle is less than the minimum preset deceleration angle of the first preset angle range (-150°), the winch is controlled to release the rope at the speed of the first winch operating gear. Winch rope release refers to the process of pulling out or releasing the winch wire rope in a controlled state by controlling the winch.

[0035] In step S124, under one example, the minimum preset stop tilt angle within the first tilt angle preset range is -160°. When the first tilt angle is less than the minimum preset stop tilt angle of the first tilt angle preset range, -160°, the winch rope release is prohibited to prevent the first tilt angle from continuing to decrease.

[0036] In this embodiment, the operation mode of the winch is controlled for the positive and negative values ​​of the first tilt angle, so as to limit the first tilt angle within the preset range of the first tilt angle in which the tower belt conveyor can operate safely. This is to prevent the change angle of the first tilt angle from being less than the physical limit of excessive reverse tilt of the inner belt (such as the inner belt overturning or the structure being subjected to reverse force) or greater than the physical limit of excessive forward tilt of the inner belt, thereby preventing failure of the inner belt support structure, sudden changes in load, etc.

[0037] Furthermore, the first target element includes a hook, the preset tilt angle range includes a second preset tilt angle range, the second preset tilt angle range includes the first preset tilt angle range, and step S120 may include the following steps: Step S125: When the second inclination angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration inclination angle of the second inclination angle preset range, control the winch to release the rope at the speed of the winch operation preset gear and the hook to move upward at the speed of the lifting operation preset gear; Step S126: When the second tilt angle is greater than the maximum preset stop tilt angle of the second tilt angle preset range, the winch rope release and the hook upward movement are prohibited, wherein the maximum preset stop tilt angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration tilt angle; Step S127: When the second tilt angle is less than the minimum preset deceleration tilt angle within the preset range of the second tilt angle, control the winch to wind up the rope at the speed of the winch operation preset gear and control the hook to move downward at the speed of the lifting operation preset gear; Step S128: When the second tilt angle is less than the minimum preset stop tilt angle within the preset range of the second tilt angle, the winch rope winding and the hook downward movement are prohibited, wherein the minimum preset stop tilt angle is less than the minimum preset deceleration tilt angle.

[0038] In step S125, under one example, the maximum preset deceleration angle within the second inclination angle preset range is 155°. When the second inclination angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration angle of 155° within the second inclination angle preset range, the winch is controlled to release the rope at the speed of the first winch operating gear, and the hook moves upward at the speed of the first lifting operating gear. The lifting operation of the hook includes the first lifting operating gear, the second lifting operating gear, the third lifting operating gear, the fourth lifting operating gear, and the fifth lifting operating gear, wherein the speed of the first lifting operating gear < the speed of the second lifting operating gear < the speed of the third lifting operating gear < the speed of the fourth lifting operating gear < the speed of the fifth lifting operating gear. Both the winch and the hook use low speed gears, resulting in a slower adjustment process, which is suitable for fine control when the target inclination angle initially exceeds the maximum preset inclination angle, avoiding rapid movements that could cause new imbalances.

[0039] In step S126, under one example, the maximum preset stop tilt angle of the second tilt angle preset range is 165°. When the second tilt angle is greater than the maximum preset stop tilt angle of the second tilt angle preset range of 165°, the winch rope release and the hook upward movement are prohibited to prevent the second tilt angle from continuing to increase.

[0040] In step S127, under one example, the minimum preset deceleration angle within the second preset angle range is -155°. When the second inclination angle is less than the minimum preset deceleration angle of the second preset angle range (-155°), the winch is controlled to wind up the rope at the speed of the first winch operating gear, and the hook moves downward at the speed of the first lifting operating gear. Both the winch and the hook use low speed gears, resulting in a slower adjustment process. This is suitable for precise control when the target inclination angle initially exceeds the maximum preset inclination angle, avoiding rapid movements that could cause new imbalances.

[0041] In step S128, under one example, the minimum preset stop tilt angle within the second tilt angle preset range is -165°. When the second tilt angle is less than the minimum preset stop tilt angle of the second tilt angle preset range, -165°, the winch rope winding and the hook downward movement are prohibited to prevent the second tilt angle from continuing to decrease.

[0042] In this embodiment, the operation mode of the winch is controlled for the positive and negative values ​​of the second tilt angle, so as to limit the second tilt angle within the preset range of the second tilt angle in which the tower belt conveyor can operate safely. This is to prevent the change angle of the second tilt angle from being less than the physical limit of excessive reverse tilt of the outer belt (such as the outer belt overturning or the structure being subjected to reverse force) or greater than the physical limit of excessive forward tilt of the outer belt, thereby preventing failure of the outer belt support structure, sudden changes in load, etc.

[0043] Furthermore, the second target element includes a slewing mechanism and a luffing mechanism, and the included angle preset range includes a first included angle preset range. Step S140 may include the following steps: Step S141: When the first included angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration included angle of the first included angle preset range, control the slewing mechanism to run in the first preset direction at the slewing running preset gear and control the luffing mechanism to run in the second preset direction at the luffing running preset gear; Step S142: When the first included angle is greater than the maximum preset stop included angle of the first included angle preset range, the slewing mechanism is prohibited from running in the first preset direction and the luffing mechanism is prohibited from running in the second preset direction; Step S143: When the first included angle is greater than the minimum preset deceleration included angle of the first included angle preset range, control the slewing mechanism to run in the third preset direction at the slewing running preset gear and control the luffing mechanism to run in the second preset direction at the luffing running preset gear. Step S144: When the first included angle is greater than the minimum preset stop included angle of the first included angle preset range, the slewing mechanism is prohibited from running in the third preset direction and the luffing mechanism is prohibited from running in the second preset direction.

[0044] In step S141, in one example, the maximum preset deceleration angle within the first preset angle range is 90°; the first preset direction is left, which in this embodiment is set based on the driver's field of vision in the driver's cab, i.e., left represents the left direction of the driver's field of vision; the second preset direction is inward, which in this embodiment is set based on the driver's field of vision in the driver's cab, i.e., inward represents the space between the luffing mechanism and the driver's cab. When the first angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration angle of 90° within the first preset angle range, the slewing mechanism is controlled to only move to the left in the first slewing gear and the luffing mechanism is controlled to only move inward in the first luffing gear. Furthermore, this embodiment does not specifically restrict the slewing gear for the slewing mechanism to move to the right, nor does it specifically restrict the luffing gear for the luffing mechanism to move outward. In this embodiment, the right side is defined based on the driver's field of vision in the driver's cab, meaning the right side represents the right direction of the driver's field of vision; the outer side is defined based on the driver's field of vision in the driver's cab, meaning the outer side represents the space outside the luffing mechanism. The preset gear for slewing operation (first slewing operation gear) is the lowest speed gear for slewing operation, and the preset gear for luffing operation (first luffing operation gear) is the lowest speed gear for luffing operation.

[0045] In step S142, under one example, the maximum preset stop angle of the first included angle preset range is 100°. When the first included angle is greater than the maximum preset stop angle of the first included angle preset range of 100°, the slewing mechanism is prohibited from running to the left and the luffing mechanism is prohibited from running inward, so as to prevent the first included angle from continuing to increase. In addition, this application embodiment does not make specific restrictions on the slewing gear of the slewing mechanism running to the right, nor does it make specific restrictions on the luffing gear of the luffing mechanism running outward.

[0046] In step S143, in one example, the minimum preset deceleration angle of the first preset angle range is -150°, and the third preset direction is to the right. In this embodiment, the right side is set based on the driver's field of vision in the driver's cab, that is, the right side represents the right direction of the driver's field of vision. When the first angle is greater than the minimum preset deceleration angle of the first preset angle range -150°, the slewing mechanism can only move to the right in the first slewing gear and the luffing mechanism can only move inward in the first luffing gear. In addition, this embodiment does not specifically restrict the slewing gear for the slewing mechanism to move to the left, nor does it specifically restrict the luffing gear for the luffing mechanism to move outward.

[0047] In step S144, under one example, the minimum preset stop angle of the first included angle preset range is -160°. When the first included angle is greater than the minimum preset stop angle of the first included angle preset range -160°, the slewing mechanism is prohibited from running to the right and the luffing mechanism is prohibited from running inward, so as to prevent the first included angle from continuing to decrease. In addition, this application embodiment does not make specific restrictions on the slewing gear for the slewing mechanism to run to the left, nor does it make specific restrictions on the luffing gear for the luffing mechanism to run outward.

[0048] In this embodiment, the operation modes of the slewing mechanism and the luffing mechanism are controlled for the positive and negative values ​​of the first included angle, respectively, so as to limit the first included angle to a preset range within which the tower belt conveyor can operate safely. This is to prevent the change angle of the first included angle from being less than the physical limit of excessive reverse tilting of the inner belt (such as the inner belt flipping or the structure being subjected to reverse force) or greater than the physical limit of excessive forward tilting of the inner belt, thereby preventing failure of the inner belt support structure, sudden changes in load, etc.

[0049] Furthermore, the included angle preset range includes a second included angle preset range, and the second included angle preset range includes a first included angle preset range. Based on the target included angle and the included angle preset range, the operation of the second target element is controlled. Step S140 may include the following steps: Step S145: When the second included angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration included angle of the preset range of the second included angle, control the slewing mechanism to run in the first preset direction at the preset slewing gear and the luffing mechanism to run in the second preset direction at the preset luffing gear; Step S146: When the second included angle is greater than the maximum preset stop included angle of the preset range of the second included angle, the slewing mechanism is prohibited from running in the first preset direction and the luffing mechanism is prohibited from running in the second preset direction; Step S147: When the second included angle is greater than the minimum preset deceleration included angle of the preset range of the second included angle, control the slewing mechanism to run in the third preset direction at the preset slewing gear and the luffing mechanism to run in the second preset direction at the preset luffing gear. Step S148: When the second included angle is greater than the minimum preset stop included angle of the preset range of the second included angle, the slewing mechanism is prohibited from running in the third preset direction and the luffing mechanism is prohibited from running in the second preset direction.

[0050] In step S145, in one example, the maximum preset deceleration angle within the second included angle preset range is 155°. When the second included angle is greater than the maximum preset deceleration angle of 155° within the second included angle preset range, the slewing mechanism is controlled to only move to the left at the first slewing gear and the luffing mechanism is controlled to only move inward at the first luffing gear. Furthermore, this embodiment does not specifically restrict the slewing gear for the slewing mechanism to move to the right, nor does it specifically restrict the luffing gear for the luffing mechanism to move outward.

[0051] In step S146, in one example, the maximum preset stop angle of the second included angle preset range is 165°. When the second included angle is greater than the maximum preset stop angle of the second included angle preset range of 165°, the slewing mechanism is prohibited from running to the left and the luffing mechanism is prohibited from running inward, so as to prevent the second included angle from continuing to increase. In addition, this application embodiment does not make specific restrictions on the slewing gear for the slewing mechanism to run to the right, nor does it make specific restrictions on the luffing gear for the luffing mechanism to run outward.

[0052] In step S147, in one example, the minimum preset deceleration angle within the second included angle preset range is -155°. When the second included angle is greater than the minimum preset deceleration angle of the second included angle preset range, -155°, the slewing mechanism is controlled to only move to the right in the first slewing gear and the luffing mechanism is controlled to only move inward in the first luffing gear. Furthermore, this embodiment does not specifically restrict the slewing gear for the slewing mechanism to move to the left, nor does it specifically restrict the luffing gear for the luffing mechanism to move outward.

[0053] In step S148, under one example, the minimum preset stop angle of the second included angle preset range is -165°. When the second included angle is greater than the minimum preset stop angle of the second included angle preset range -165°, the slewing mechanism is prohibited from running to the right and the luffing mechanism is prohibited from running inward, so as to prevent the second included angle from continuing to decrease. In addition, this application embodiment does not make specific restrictions on the slewing gear for the slewing mechanism to run to the left, nor does it make specific restrictions on the luffing gear for the luffing mechanism to run outward.

[0054] In this embodiment, the operation modes of the slewing mechanism and the luffing mechanism are controlled for the positive and negative values ​​of the second included angle, respectively, so as to limit the second included angle within the preset range of the second included angle in which the tower belt conveyor can operate safely. This is to prevent the change angle of the second included angle from being less than the physical limit of excessive reverse tilt of the outer belt (such as the outer belt overturning or the structure being subjected to reverse force) or greater than the physical limit of excessive forward tilt of the outer belt, thereby preventing failure of the outer belt support structure, sudden changes in load, etc.

[0055] In this embodiment of the application, the tower belt conveyor includes a display screen, a buzzer, and an electric horn, and the method further includes the following steps: Step S210: If the target tilt angle is not within the preset tilt angle range and / or the target included angle is not within the preset included angle range, control at least one of the display screen, buzzer and horn to sound an alarm.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, when the target tilt angle is not within the preset tilt angle range and / or the target included angle is not within the preset included angle range, the control display screen, buzzer, and horn will sound an alarm. The display screen and buzzer are both located in the driver's cab to remind the driver to pay attention to operational safety, while the horn is located outside the driver's cab to remind personnel outside the driver's cab to avoid danger from the tower crane.
