Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of unmanned storage yard management technology, and in particular to an intelligent management system for unmanned storage yards of marine valves. Background Technology
[0002] Marine valves are primarily used to control the pressure, flow rate, and flow direction of fluids within ship pipelines. They are control devices for fluid systems, with core functions including connecting or disconnecting media flow, changing flow direction, regulating pressure and flow, and protecting pipeline equipment for normal operation. After manufacturing, marine valves require specialized storage and stacking. As highly precision components, marine valves have extremely stringent requirements for storage and stacking.
[0003] Currently, the management of marine valves still relies on manual inspection, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to false positives and false negatives. In order to facilitate operation, a large number of operation controls need to be deployed at the stacking site. At the same time, it is impossible to achieve all-weather, all-time monitoring, resulting in low safety and timeliness. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is that current marine valve management still relies on manual inspection, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to false detection and missed detection. In order to facilitate operation, a large number of operation controls need to be deployed at the stacking site. At the same time, it is impossible to achieve all-weather and all-time monitoring, resulting in low safety and timeliness.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: an intelligent management system for unmanned marine valve storage yards, including a main frame and a remote monitoring terminal for monitoring the operating status of the main frame. The main frame includes a first n-shaped frame and a second n-shaped frame. The bottom of the outer side of the first n-shaped frame and the bottom of the inner side of the second n-shaped frame both have a bottom traveling frame. Both the first n-shaped frame and the second n-shaped frame are equipped with an electrically controlled translation winch. The cable of the electrically controlled translation winch is equipped with a lifting monitoring module. An electrically controlled monitoring and control module is movably mounted on the lifting monitoring module.
[0006] The bottom walking frame is fixedly installed with bottom-side optical positioning probes and top-side LED lights that cooperate with the bottom-side optical positioning probes at both ends.
[0007] The electrically controlled translation winch includes a transverse guide rail installed inside the first n-shaped frame and the second n-shaped frame, a translation frame movably installed inside the transverse guide rail, a side support wheel and a side drive wheel installed on one side of the translation frame, and a longitudinal optical probe installed at the lower end of the translation frame.
[0008] Both ends of the lifting monitoring module are hinged with lateral connecting sleeves for connecting and extending the cable.
[0009] The lifting monitoring module is equipped with an embedded translation guide rail, and the embedded translation guide rail is movably fitted with a built-in electric control lead screw.
[0010] The electronically controlled monitoring and control module includes an internally threaded translation seat threaded onto a built-in electronically controlled lead screw, a lateral protrusion located on the side wall of the internally threaded translation seat, an electronically controlled external adjustment sleeve movably mounted on the lateral protrusion, and an electronically controlled flipping claw arm hinged to the outside of the electronically controlled external adjustment sleeve.
[0011] The outer arc-shaped surface of the lateral boss is provided with an annular side mounting groove for installing the electric control external adjustment sleeve. The electric control external adjustment sleeve includes an external mounting kit with an internal toothed ring, an internal motor fixed inside the lateral boss, and a control gear installed at the drive end of the internal motor.
[0012] The electrically controlled flipping claw arm includes a main flipping frame hinged to the outer connecting frame of the external assembly, a secondary flipping frame hinged to the end of the main flipping frame, a main adjusting support rod for controlling the main flipping frame, and a secondary adjusting support rod for controlling the secondary flipping frame.

[0014] The lifting monitoring module is equipped with a temperature and humidity control module.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) The intelligent management system for unmanned storage yards of marine valves of the present invention adopts a split structure design for the main frame, which can be folded up and merged when idle and separated and opened during operation, thereby freely changing the gap between the first n-shaped frame and the second n-shaped frame, changing the monitoring range and operating space, and reducing the operating space requirements; (2) Replacing manual inspection and retrieval with unmanned operation can not only save time and effort, but also achieve all-weather and all-time operation, effectively improving the safety of ship valve stacking and the timeliness of monitoring; (3) The lifting and angle adjustment of the lifting monitoring module are controlled by the electrically controlled translation winch inside the first n-shaped frame and the second n-shaped frame, so that the electrically controlled monitoring and control module on the lifting monitoring module can monitor and control the marine valve from multiple angles and directions, and the operation is convenient. (4) Bottom optical positioning probes are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom walking frame. A central monitoring probe is installed inside the electrically controlled flipping claw arm on the outer wall of the external equipment. A temperature and humidity transmission and control module is installed on the lifting monitoring module. A longitudinal optical probe is installed at the lower end of the translation frame.

The main frame includes a first n-shaped frame 1 and a second n-shaped frame 2.

The lifting and lowering cable of the electrically controlled translation winch 4 is equipped with a lifting monitoring module 5. An electrically controlled monitoring and control module 6 is movably mounted on the lifting monitoring module 5.
[0025] To facilitate optical positioning and recording of the vehicle's position, bottom optical positioning probes 31 and top LED lights 32 that cooperate with the bottom optical positioning probes 31 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom walking frame 3.
[0026] To facilitate translation adjustment, the electrically controlled translation winch 4 includes a horizontal guide rail 41 installed inside the first n-shaped frame 1 and the second n-shaped frame 2, a translation frame 42 movably installed inside the horizontal guide rail 41, a side support wheel 43 and a side drive wheel 44 installed on one side of the translation frame 42, and a longitudinal optical probe 45 installed at the lower end of the translation frame 42.
[0027] To facilitate connection with the retractable cable, both ends of the lifting monitoring module 5 are hinged with lateral connecting sleeves 51 for connecting the retractable cable.
[0028] By moving the electrically controlled translation winch 4 at different positions and controlling the winding and unwinding of the cable, the lateral and longitudinal angles of the entire electrically controlled monitoring and control module 6 can be changed.
[0029] To facilitate translation adjustment, the lifting monitoring module 5 is equipped with an embedded translation guide rail 52, and the embedded translation guide rail 52 is equipped with a built-in electric control screw 53.
[0030] To facilitate translation and gripping, the electronically controlled monitoring and control module 6 includes an internally threaded translation seat 61 threaded onto the built-in electronically controlled lead screw 53, a lateral protrusion 62 located on the side wall of the internally threaded translation seat 61, an electronically controlled external adjusting sleeve 63 movably mounted on the lateral protrusion 62, and an electronically controlled flipping claw arm 64 hinged to the outside of the electronically controlled external adjusting sleeve 63.
[0031] The built-in electronically controlled lead screw 53 drives the lateral boss 62 to translate along the embedded translation guide rail 52 by rotation.
[0032] To facilitate angle adjustment, an annular side mounting groove for mounting an electrically controlled external adjustment sleeve 63 is provided on the outer arc surface of the lateral boss 62. The electrically controlled external adjustment sleeve 63 includes an external mounting sleeve 632 with an internal toothed ring 631, an internal motor 633 fixed inside the lateral boss 62, and a control gear 634 mounted on the transmission end of the internal motor 633.
[0033] The built-in motor 633 is driven by the meshing of the built-in gear ring 631 with the control gear 634, and the built-in motor 633 controls the rotation of the external assembly 632.
[0034] To facilitate the electronic gripping, the electronically controlled flipping claw arm 64 includes a main flipping frame 641 hinged to the outer connecting frame of the external mounting 632, a secondary flipping frame 642 hinged to the end of the main flipping frame 641, a main adjusting support rod 643 for controlling the main flipping frame 641, and a secondary adjusting support rod 644 for controlling the secondary flipping frame 642.

[0037] To facilitate the monitoring of the surrounding temperature and humidity, a temperature and humidity transmission and control module 8 is installed on the lifting monitoring module 5.
[0038] Work process After the system starts, the remote monitoring terminal automatically initiates a self-test: the first n-shaped frame 1 and the second n-shaped frame 2 retract to the initial distance, and the bottom traveling frame 3 locks in position; the translation frame 42 of the electrically controlled translation winch 4 resets to the end of the horizontal guide rail 41, the cable is tightened, and the lifting monitoring module 5 rises to the high position; the electrically controlled flipping claw arm 64 of the electrically controlled monitoring and control module 6 is in the open state, and the internal thread translation seat 61 resets to the middle of the embedded translation guide rail 52; the bottom optical positioning probe 31, the longitudinal optical probe 45, the central monitoring probe 7, and the temperature and humidity transmission and control module 8 start self-tests to confirm that the signal transmission is normal; the top LED lighting 32 is in standby mode, the system displays "ready", and waits for the operation instruction.
[0039] Operators input work area information through a remote monitoring terminal and transmit signals via wireless signal transceiver modules built into the first n-shaped frame 1 and the second n-shaped frame 2. The system plans the movement path and issues commands: the bottom walking frame 3 starts, driving the first n-shaped frame 1 and the second n-shaped frame 2 to move towards the work area. The bottom optical positioning probe 31 scans the ground positioning marks in real time and accurately adjusts the frame position. According to the stacking density of valves in the work area, the two frames move in opposite directions to expand the distance to adapt to the operating range. After the movement is completed, the bottom walking frame 3 is locked, and the top LED lighting 32 automatically turns on or stays off according to the ambient light.
[0040] After the frame is fixed, the inspection command is issued: the side drive wheel 44 of the electrically controlled translation winch 4 starts, driving the translation frame 42 to move at a constant speed along the horizontal guide rail 41, and the length of the cable is adjusted synchronously to keep the lifting monitoring module 5 horizontal and the height adapted to the valve stacking height; the longitudinal optical probe 45 scans the area below, locates the approximate position of each valve and transmits it to the terminal; the built-in electrically controlled lead screw 53 rotates, driving the electrically controlled monitoring and control module 6 to move diagonally above the first target valve, and the built-in motor 633 drives the external equipment 632 to rotate, so that the central monitoring probe 7 is always aligned with the valve; the central monitoring probe 7 scans the valve appearance and marking information, the temperature and humidity transmission and control module 8 records the current ambient temperature and humidity, and all data is uploaded to the remote monitoring terminal in real time to form an inspection record; after the monitoring of one valve is completed, the system controls the movement of each component in sequence to inspect all valves in the work area one by one until full coverage is achieved.
[0041] After receiving the retrieval instruction, the remote monitoring terminal locks the target valve position and issues the following instructions: the electrically controlled translation winch 4 moves the lifting monitoring module 5 to directly above the target valve, and the cable is slowly lowered to bring the electrically controlled monitoring and control module 6 to a suitable height; the built-in motor 633 drives the external assembly 632 to rotate, adjusting the gripping angle of the electrically controlled flipping claw arm 64, and the main adjusting support rod 643 and the auxiliary adjusting support rod 644 extend and retract, controlling the main flipping frame 641 and the auxiliary flipping frame 642 to close, precisely clamping the valve; after the central monitoring probe 7 confirms the clamping, the cable is tightened, raising the valve to a safe height; the electrically controlled translation winch 4 moves the lifting monitoring module 5 to the target stacking position, the cable is slowly lowered, and the electrically controlled flipping claw arm 64 opens, completing the placement of the valve; after the placement is completed, all components are reset, ready for the next retrieval operation or inspection.
[0042] After all inspection or retrieval tasks are completed, the system issues a closing instruction: the first n-shaped frame 1 and the second n-shaped frame 2 are brought together to the initial spacing, and the bottom traveling frame 3 drives the frame back to the designated parking position and locks it; the electrically controlled translation winch 4, the lifting monitoring module 5, and the electrically controlled monitoring and control module 6 are all reset to their initial state; the remote monitoring terminal generates a complete work report, including inspection data, retrieval records, environmental temperature and humidity data, etc., which supports export and archiving; all monitoring components stop working, the top LED lighting 32 is turned off, and the system enters standby mode, waiting for the next work instruction.
[0043] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
