Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lifting platform maintenance technology, specifically a lifting platform operation and maintenance testing method. Background Technology
[0002] Existing cargo lifting platforms are widely used in factories, warehouses, logistics parks, and other scenarios, and their operational safety is directly related to the safety of personnel and goods. These devices require regular maintenance based on their specifications, load capacity, and other parameters to identify potential problems such as mechanical wear, electrical faults, and hydraulic system malfunctions, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.
[0003] In an effort to reduce operating costs, some factories and enterprises arbitrarily violate maintenance standards, deliberately evading regular inspections and maintenance, resulting in equipment operating in a "defective" state for extended periods. This not only accelerates the aging of mechanical components but also significantly increases the risk of safety device failure, ultimately leading to safety accidents such as falls, jamming, and component breakage, causing personal injury and property damage. Therefore, we propose a method for the operation and maintenance inspection of lifting platforms. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for the operation and maintenance testing of lifting platforms to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for operation and maintenance testing of a lifting platform, comprising the following steps: S1. Running frequency setting: Collect the equipment model, rated load capacity, manufacturing date, cumulative running time, historical maintenance records and maintenance cycle recommended in the equipment manual of the cargo lifting platform, and set the basic maintenance trigger number and maximum running limit number for each piece of equipment in combination with industry safety standards; S2. Maintenance reminder: During equipment operation, the local controller accumulates the number of runs in real time and compares it with the preset basic maintenance trigger count in the background. When the basic maintenance trigger count is reached, the local operation panel of the equipment lights up a red warning light and displays maintenance reminder text. S3. Forced shutdown control: The background system monitors the number of times the equipment runs throughout the process. If the equipment fails to complete maintenance within the specified period after receiving a maintenance reminder, and the number of runs reaches the preset maximum running limit, the background system will automatically send a forced shutdown command to the local controller of the equipment, and the equipment will immediately stop lifting and running operations. S4. Maintenance Qualification Verification: Before the maintenance work begins, the maintenance unit uploads its qualification documents through the back-end system. S5. Maintenance process data upload: Maintenance personnel simultaneously record equipment status and maintenance operation details during on-site operations; S6. Maintenance Data Verification and Confirmation: Back-end administrators conduct a comprehensive review of the uploaded qualification documents, equipment status data, maintenance records, and on-site video data against the equipment's basic parameters, historical maintenance records, and industry maintenance standards. If the review is successful, the system generates a maintenance qualification certificate, simultaneously unlocks the equipment's operating permissions, and updates the benchmark for the next maintenance trigger count. If any issues are found during the review, the maintenance certification is rejected, and the maintenance unit is ordered to rectify the issues within a specified period until the requirements are met.
[0006] Preferably, in step S1, the maximum number of operation limits does not exceed 1.2 times the number of basic maintenance triggers. The set parameters are entered into the background management system and synchronized to the local controller of the device to realize real-time statistics and data synchronization of the number of operation.
[0007] Preferably, the number of basic maintenance triggers is configured differently according to the rated load capacity of the equipment: for light platforms with a rated load capacity of 5 tons or less, a maintenance reminder is set to be triggered every 500 operations; for medium platforms with a rated load capacity of 5-10 tons, a maintenance reminder is set to be triggered every 300 operations; and for heavy platforms with a rated load capacity of more than 10 tons, a maintenance reminder is set to be triggered every 200 operations.
[0008] Preferably, in step S2, the backend system also pushes maintenance reminders to the equipment manager and the head of the operation and maintenance department via at least one of the following methods: SMS, enterprise internal office software messages, and email, clearly indicating the equipment number, current number of runs, maintenance deadline, and core requirements.
[0009] Preferably, in step S3, the emergency descent function is retained during forced shutdown, while the system locks the device's operating permissions to prevent manual forced startup.
[0010] Preferably, the emergency descent function is only used to safely lower the platform to the ground, and the system monitors the platform's operating status and records data in real time during the descent.
[0011] Preferably, in step S4, the qualification documents include a business license for enterprises with a scope of business including the maintenance of lifting platforms, a special equipment installation, modification and repair license, and a valid special operation certificate for maintenance personnel.
[0012] Preferably, in step S5, after maintenance is completed, the equipment status data, maintenance operation records, and maintenance site video data are uploaded to the backend system to form a complete maintenance file. The equipment status data includes the wear condition of mechanical parts, hydraulic system pressure test data, circuit system insulation test results, and safety protection device effectiveness test results. The maintenance site video data includes at least 3 maintenance photos of key parts and 1 maintenance operation video.
[0013] Preferably, the maintenance operation record also includes the name, specifications and quantity of the replaced parts, and the replaced parts must be compatible with the equipment model.
[0014] Preferably, in step S6, the key points of the verification include whether the maintenance content covers the critical parts of the equipment, whether the test data meets the safety standards, whether the replaced parts are compatible with the equipment model, and whether the maintenance records are consistent with the on-site images.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. By quantifying the number of basic maintenance triggers (configured differently according to equipment load), the traditional vague maintenance cycle setting is replaced, which completely solves the problem of "unclear cycle and large execution flexibility" in operation and maintenance, making maintenance triggering more scientific and precise.
[0016] 2. An innovative mandatory shutdown mechanism has been established, breaking through the previous regulatory bottleneck of "enterprises deciding whether to carry out maintenance" and forming a rigid constraint through technical means. This effectively prevents enterprises from evading maintenance in order to reduce costs and reduces the risk of safety accidents from the source.
[0017] 3. Conduct pre-maintenance qualification verification (check the company's business license, special equipment repair license, etc.) to exclude unqualified or unqualified maintenance providers, avoid secondary failures caused by unprofessional maintenance, and ensure the compliance and professionalism of maintenance work.
[0018] 4. After maintenance, it is required to upload equipment status data, information on replaced parts, on-site images, and other materials to build a complete maintenance file. This will not only facilitate subsequent equipment failure tracing and responsibility determination, but also meet the inspection needs of industry regulatory departments and improve the transparency of operation and maintenance management.
[0019] 5. Integrate the data synchronization, automatic reminders, mandatory control, and online audit functions of the back-end system and local controller to replace the traditional manual supervision mode, comprehensively improve the intelligence and standardization of the operation and maintenance management of the lifting platform, and ultimately significantly reduce the incidence of safety accidents such as falls, jams, and component breakage. Attached Figure Description
[0020] The accompanying drawings are provided to further illustrate the invention and form part of the specification. They are used in conjunction with embodiments of the invention to explain the invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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 a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. 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. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the invention, a method for operation and maintenance testing of a lifting platform includes the following steps: S1. Running frequency setting: Collect the equipment model, rated load capacity, manufacturing date, cumulative running time, historical maintenance records and maintenance cycle recommended in the equipment manual of the cargo lifting platform, and set the basic maintenance trigger number and maximum running limit number for each piece of equipment in combination with industry safety standards; In step S1, the maximum number of operation limits does not exceed 1.2 times the number of basic maintenance triggers. The set parameters are entered into the background management system and synchronized to the local controller of the device to realize real-time statistics and data synchronization of the number of operation.
[0023] The basic maintenance trigger frequency is configured differently according to the rated load capacity of the equipment: for light platforms with a rated load capacity of 5 tons or less, a maintenance reminder is set to be triggered every 500 operations; for medium platforms with a rated load capacity of 5-10 tons, a maintenance reminder is set to be triggered every 300 operations; and for heavy platforms with a rated load capacity of more than 10 tons, a maintenance reminder is set to be triggered every 200 operations.
[0024] S2. Maintenance reminder: During equipment operation, the local controller accumulates the number of runs in real time and compares it with the preset basic maintenance trigger count in the background. When the basic maintenance trigger count is reached, the local operation panel of the equipment lights up a red warning light and displays maintenance reminder text. S2 also includes the back-end system sending maintenance reminders to the equipment manager and the head of the operation and maintenance department via at least one of the following methods: SMS, enterprise internal office software messages, and email. The reminders clearly indicate the equipment number, the current number of times the equipment has been used, the maintenance deadline, and the core requirements.
[0025] S3. Forced shutdown control: The background system monitors the number of times the equipment runs throughout the process. If the equipment fails to complete maintenance within the specified period after receiving a maintenance reminder, and the number of runs reaches the preset maximum running limit, the background system will automatically send a forced shutdown command to the local controller of the equipment, and the equipment will immediately stop lifting and running operations. In S3, the emergency descent function is retained during forced shutdown, while the system locks equipment operation permissions to prevent manual forced startup, thus blocking the risk of equipment operating beyond its service life and with defects at the source. The emergency descent function is only used to safely lower the platform to the ground, and the system monitors the platform's operating status and records data in real time during the descent.
[0026] S4. Maintenance Qualification Verification: Before commencing maintenance work, the maintenance unit shall upload qualification documents through the back-end system. The qualification documents include the business license of the enterprise with the scope of business of lifting platform maintenance, the special equipment installation, modification and repair license, and the special operation certificate of the maintenance personnel within the validity period.
[0027] Back-end administrators must complete the qualification review within two working days, focusing on verifying the authenticity, validity, and compatibility of the documents with the maintenance equipment, and confirming that the maintenance unit and personnel have the capability to maintain the corresponding tonnage and model of the lifting platform. Maintenance work can only begin after the review is approved. If the review fails, the system will reject the maintenance application and explain the specific reasons. Units and personnel without qualifications or with inadequate qualifications are strictly prohibited from participating in maintenance operations.
[0028] S5. Maintenance process data upload: Maintenance personnel simultaneously record equipment status and maintenance operation details during on-site operations; After maintenance is completed, the equipment status data, maintenance operation records, and maintenance site video data are uploaded to the back-end system to form a complete maintenance file. The equipment status data includes the wear and tear of mechanical parts, hydraulic system pressure test data, circuit system insulation test results, and safety protection device effectiveness test results. The maintenance site video data includes at least 3 maintenance photos of key parts and 1 maintenance operation video.
[0029] The maintenance operation record also includes the name, specifications and quantity of the replaced parts, and the replaced parts must be compatible with the equipment model.
[0030] S6. Maintenance Data Verification and Confirmation: Back-end administrators conduct a comprehensive review of the uploaded qualification documents, equipment status data, maintenance records, and on-site video data against the equipment's basic parameters, historical maintenance records, and industry maintenance standards. If the review is successful, the system generates a maintenance qualification certificate, simultaneously unlocks the equipment's operating permissions, and updates the benchmark for the next maintenance trigger count. If any issues are found during the review, the maintenance certification is rejected, and the maintenance unit is ordered to rectify the issues within a specified period until the requirements are met.
[0031] The key points of the verification include whether the maintenance content covers the critical parts of the equipment, whether the test data meets the safety standards, whether the replaced parts are compatible with the equipment model, and whether the maintenance records are consistent with the on-site images.
[0032] The working principle of this invention is: Precise quantitative management foundation: First, collect core parameters such as model, rated load, and manufacturing date of each device. Combined with industry safety standards, set the basic maintenance trigger count and maximum operating limit count in a differentiated manner. Synchronize the parameters to the backend system and local controller to provide precise quantitative basis for subsequent operation and maintenance management, ensuring that management is in line with the actual working conditions of the equipment.
[0033] Dual reminder triggering mechanism: When the equipment is running, the local controller counts the number of runs in real time and compares it with the preset basic maintenance trigger count. Once the threshold is reached, on the one hand, a visual reminder is given on the local panel of the equipment in the form of a red light and text. On the other hand, the backend pushes precise reminders to relevant personnel through multiple channels to ensure that maintenance needs are not overlooked.
[0034] Rigid mandatory constraint logic: To address the issue of enterprises evading maintenance, an overdue mandatory shutdown mechanism is set up. When the equipment is not maintained on schedule and the number of times it is operated reaches the maximum limit, the background automatically sends a shutdown command, retaining only the safety emergency descent function and locking operation permissions, thus technically preventing the possibility of the equipment "operating with defects".
[0035] Full-process data traceability and verification: Before maintenance, qualified maintenance entities are screened through qualification review to avoid the risk of unqualified operation; after maintenance, complete information such as equipment status data, operation records, and on-site images are required to be uploaded to form a traceable file; the background conducts a comprehensive verification against the standards to ensure that the equipment is unlocked only after the maintenance quality meets the standards, realizing a closed loop of "qualification review before maintenance, process recording during maintenance, and quality verification after maintenance".
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
