Abnormal vibrations, wire rope breakage detection and prevention, and wind-resistant adaptive measures for the slewing mechanism significantly impact the safe and stable operation of gantry cranes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a steady-state control system for gantry cranes to improve the efficiency and safety of equipment operation. Summary of the Invention

Based on the real-time wind direction and angle of the bulk cargo terminal operating environment transmitted by the wind monitoring unit, the real-time angle of the slewing mechanism transmitted by the absolute encoder module, and the real-time wind speed, a third control signal is generated to control the drive unit and the self-locking control unit, thereby realizing adaptive control of the slewing structure of the pedestal crane.
[0005] Furthermore: the wire rope monitoring unit includes: Lifting absolute encoder: used to monitor the amount of wire rope wound up and down on the hoisting mechanism drum; Magnetic flux monitoring sensor for hoisting wire rope: used to collect the magnetic flux value of the hoisting wire rope at the rope outlet in the machine room; High-definition camera: used to capture image data of the hoisting mechanism wire rope between the top of the elephant trunk and the lifting device; Monitoring data exchange: used to receive and transmit the winding and unwinding amount of the hoisting mechanism drum wire rope transmitted by the hoisting absolute encoder, the magnetic flux value of the hoisting wire rope passing through the rope outlet of the machine room transmitted by the hoisting wire rope magnetic flux monitoring sensor, and the image data of the hoisting mechanism wire rope from the top of the elephant trunk to the lifting device transmitted by the high-definition camera.

It uses magnetic flux detection method or machine vision recognition method to determine the degree of wire breakage and calculate the location of wire breakage.
[0006] Furthermore: the process of determining the degree of wire breakage in the wire rope using magnetic flux detection or machine vision recognition methods includes determining the degree of wire breakage based on magnetic flux detection, as detailed below: When 90%≤K 实际 / K 标准 When the percentage is less than 95%, it is determined that there is a minor breakage in the wire rope at this point.

[0007] Furthermore: the process of determining the location of the broken wire in the wire rope using magnetic flux detection or machine vision recognition methods includes calculating the location of the broken wire based on the magnetic flux detection method, as detailed below: When a minor or severe wire rope breakage is detected, the location of the broken wire rope is calculated starting from the connection point between the wire rope and the lifting device at the top. The specific formula is as follows: S1=HH 吊具 +L+S 当前 -S 初始 ; Where: H is the height position value of the lifting device in the lifting direction, H 吊具 The height of the lifting device is L, where L is the length of the wire rope from the top pulley of the elephant trunk beam to the magnetic flux monitoring sensor at the rope outlet in the machine room, and S is the height of the lifting device itself. 当前 S represents the current release of the hoisting wire rope detected by the hoisting absolute encoder. 初始 The amount of hoisting wire rope released is detected by the hoisting absolute encoder when the spreader is in the upper stop position; The process of determining the location of the broken wire in the wire rope using magnetic flux detection or machine vision recognition methods includes the following process of calculating the location of the broken wire based on machine vision recognition methods: When a minor or severe wire rope breakage is detected, the location of the broken wire rope is calculated starting from the connection point between the wire rope and the lifting device at the top.

[0008] Further: The process of receiving the first control signal of the hoisting mechanism transmitted by the PLC control unit and driving the operation of the hoisting mechanism is as follows: When a minor wire breakage occurs, an alarm signal is issued, and the hoisting mechanism of the gantry crane is controlled to operate at a speed limited to 50%. When a severe wire breakage occurs, a fault signal is issued, and the hoisting mechanism of the gantry crane is only allowed to exit the operation at a speed limited to 10% before the wire rope is replaced.

[0010] Furthermore: the process of generating a second control signal to suppress or eliminate the abnormal vibration of the key parts of the gantry crane structure based on the abnormal vibration level transmitted by the vibration monitoring unit is as follows: When the trolley mechanism of the gantry crane moves, the same abnormal vibration judgment method is used for the seventh to fourteenth vibration acquisition sensors, as follows: If 1.1 K 标准a >K 实际a ≥1.05 K 标准a The vibration acquisition sensor is used to determine whether the abnormal vibration of the corresponding key structural part has reached the alarm level.

If K 实际b ≥1.1 K 标准b The abnormal vibration of the corresponding key structural parts monitored by the vibration acquisition sensor is determined to have reached the level of a fault. Where K 实际bK represents the vibration amplitude value monitored in real time by any one of the vibration acquisition sensors (first to fifth and fifteenth vibration acquisition sensors); 标准b The vibration amplitude value of any one of the vibration acquisition sensors, from the first to the fifth and the fifteenth vibration acquisition sensors, during normal operation; When the hoisting mechanism of the gantry crane operates, the data from the first to the fifth vibration acquisition sensors and the sixteenth vibration acquisition sensor are monitored in real time. If 1.1 K 标准c >K 实际c ≥1.05 K 标准c The system determines that any one of the vibration acquisition sensors (first to fifth and fifteenth) has detected abnormal vibrations in the corresponding key structural parts, which has reached the alarm level. If K 实际c ≥1.1 K 标准c The abnormal vibration of the corresponding key structural part monitored by any one of the vibration acquisition sensors (first to fifth and fifteenth) reaches the level of a fault. Where: K 实际c K represents the vibration amplitude value monitored in real time by any one of the vibration acquisition sensors (first to fifth and fifteenth vibration acquisition sensors); 标准c The vibration amplitude value of any one of the vibration acquisition sensors, from the first to the fifth and the fifteenth vibration acquisition sensors, during normal operation; When the slewing mechanism of the gantry crane operates, the sixth vibration acquisition sensor is monitored in real time. If 1.1 K 标准d >K 实际d ≥1.05 K 标准d The system determines that the abnormal vibration of the corresponding key structural part monitored by the sixth vibration acquisition sensor has reached the alarm level. If K 实际d ≥1.1 K 标准d The abnormal vibration of the corresponding key structural part monitored by the sixth vibration acquisition sensor is determined to have reached the level of a fault. Where K 实际d K represents the vibration amplitude value monitored in real time by the sixth vibration acquisition sensor. 标准d This represents the vibration amplitude value when the sixth vibration acquisition sensor is operating normally.
[0011] Furthermore: the process of generating a control signal to suppress or eliminate the abnormal vibration of the key parts of the gantry crane structure based on the abnormal vibration level transmitted by the vibration monitoring unit is as follows: When the gantry crane's trolley mechanism reaches an alarm or fault level during its acceleration and deceleration phases, if the vibration amplitude value monitored in real-time by any of the seven to fourteenth vibration sensors reaches the alarm or fault level, the acceleration and deceleration values of the trolley mechanism will be optimized and adjusted to suppress vibration. The specific optimization and adjustment method is as follows: Optimized and adjusted acceleration and deceleration values a of the trolley mechanism 大车调整 =K a a 大车 ; Where: K a The vibration suppression optimization coefficient for the acceleration and deceleration phases of the trolley mechanism is set to 0.8, a. 大车 These are the acceleration and deceleration values before the adjustment of the trolley mechanism; When the gantry crane's trolley mechanism is running at a constant speed, and the vibration amplitude value monitored in real time by any one of the vibration acquisition sensors (seventh to fourteenth vibration acquisition sensors) reaches the alarm or fault level, the trolley mechanism's running speed will be optimized and adjusted to suppress vibration. The specific optimization and adjustment method is as follows: Optimized and adjusted trolley mechanism operating speed value V 大车调整 =K A V 大车 The speed value corresponding to the vibration amplitude reaching the alarm or fault level will be added to the given speed shielding zone of the trolley mechanism. In subsequent operation of the trolley mechanism, the speed setpoint in the given shielding zone will be controlled according to the optimized and adjusted operating speed value. Where: K A The vibration suppression optimization coefficient for the trolley mechanism during uniform motion is set to 0.95. 大车 This refers to the operating speed value of the trolley mechanism before adjustment.
[0012] When the luffing mechanism of a gantry crane reaches an alarm or fault level in real-time monitoring by any one of the first to fifth vibration sensors or the fifteenth vibration sensor during its acceleration and deceleration phases, the acceleration and deceleration values of the luffing mechanism will be optimized and adjusted to suppress vibration.

When the luffing mechanism of a gantry crane reaches an alarm or fault level during its uniform speed operation phase, if the vibration amplitude value monitored in real time by any one of the first to fifth vibration sensors or the fifteenth vibration sensor reaches the level required for an alarm, the operating speed of the luffing mechanism will be optimized and adjusted to suppress vibration. The specific optimization and adjustment method is as follows: Optimized and adjusted operating speed value V of the luffing mechanism 变幅调整 =K B V 变幅 The speed value corresponding to the vibration amplitude reaching the alarm or fault level is added to the speed setpoint shielding zone of the luffing mechanism. In subsequent operation of the luffing mechanism, the speed setpoint in the setpoint shielding zone is controlled according to the optimized and adjusted operating speed value. Where: K B The vibration suppression optimization coefficient for the constant velocity motion phase of the amplitude-changing mechanism is set to 0.95. 变幅 This is the operating speed value of the luffing mechanism before adjustment.
[0013] When the hoisting mechanism of a gantry crane reaches an alarm or fault level during its acceleration and deceleration phase, if the vibration amplitude value monitored in real time by any one of the first to fifth vibration sensors or the sixteenth vibration sensor reaches the alarm or fault level, the PLC control unit will optimize and adjust the acceleration and deceleration values of the hoisting mechanism to suppress vibration. The specific optimization and adjustment method is as follows: Optimized and adjusted hoisting mechanism acceleration and deceleration values a 起升调整 =K c a 起升 ; Where K c The vibration suppression optimization coefficient for the hoisting mechanism during acceleration and deceleration is set to 0.8, a. 起升 These are the acceleration and deceleration values before the hoisting mechanism is adjusted.
[0014] Step 8: When the hoisting mechanism of the gantry crane reaches an alarm or fault level during its uniform speed operation phase, if any one of the vibration acquisition sensors (first to fifth and sixteenth vibration acquisition sensors) detects a vibration amplitude that triggers an alarm, the hoisting mechanism's operating speed will be optimized and adjusted to suppress vibration. The specific optimization and adjustment method is as follows: Optimized and adjusted hoisting mechanism operating speed value V 起升调整 =K C V 起升The speed value corresponding to the vibration amplitude reaching the alarm or fault level will be added to the hoisting mechanism's operating speed setpoint shielding zone. Subsequently, when the hoisting mechanism is running, the speed setpoint in the setpoint shielding zone will be controlled according to the optimized and adjusted operating speed value. Where K C The vibration suppression optimization coefficient for the hoisting mechanism during uniform motion is set to 0.95. 起升 This is the operating speed value of the hoisting mechanism before adjustment.
[0015] When the slewing mechanism of a gantry crane reaches an alarm or fault level as monitored in real time by the sixth vibration acquisition sensor during its acceleration and deceleration phase, the acceleration and deceleration values of the slewing mechanism will be optimized and adjusted to suppress vibration. The specific optimization and adjustment method is as follows: Optimized and adjusted acceleration / deceleration values a of the slewing mechanism 回转调整 =K d a 回转 ; Where K d The vibration suppression optimization coefficient for the acceleration and deceleration phases of the rotary mechanism is set to 0.8, a. 回转 These are the acceleration and deceleration values before the adjustment of the slewing mechanism.
[0016] When the slewing mechanism of the gantry crane reaches an alarm or fault level as monitored in real time by the sixth vibration acquisition sensor during its uniform speed operation, the slewing mechanism's operating speed will be optimized and adjusted to suppress vibration. The specific optimization and adjustment method is as follows: Optimized and adjusted operating speed value V of the slewing mechanism 回转调整 =K D V 回转 The speed value corresponding to the vibration amplitude reaching the alarm or fault level is added to the speed setpoint shielding zone of the slewing mechanism. In subsequent operation of the slewing mechanism, the speed setpoint in the setpoint shielding zone is controlled according to the optimized and adjusted operating speed value. Where: K D The vibration suppression optimization coefficient for the uniform motion phase of the rotary mechanism is set to 0.95, V. 回转 This is the operating speed value of the slewing mechanism before adjustment.
[0017] Furthermore: the process of comparing the real-time wind direction angle of the bulk cargo terminal operating environment transmitted by the wind monitoring unit, the real-time angle of the slewing mechanism transmitted by the absolute encoder module, and the real-time wind speed to generate a third control signal to control the third drive unit and the self-locking control unit, and adaptively controlling the slewing structure of the pedestal crane, is as follows: The real-time wind direction angle of the bulk cargo terminal operating environment transmitted by the wind monitoring unit is compared with the real-time angle of the slewing mechanism transmitted by the absolute encoder module: When the deviation between the minimum windward angle of the upper part of the gantry crane above the slewing structure and the wind direction angle is less than the threshold angle, no adaptive adjustment is required; When the minimum windward angle of the upper part of the gantry crane above the slewing structure deviates from the wind direction angle by ≥ the threshold angle, proceed to the next step; The self-locking control unit releases the electric anchoring device; The control drive unit performs adaptive adjustment control of the slewing angle according to the given value of the slewing damping correction until the slewing structure rotates to the adaptive ideal angle. During the adaptive adjustment of the slewing angle, when the slewing structure is subjected to wind force and the slewing angle exceeds the theoretical angle of the adaptive adjustment, the slewing inverter in the control drive unit outputs reverse damping control torque to prevent the slewing structure from rotating uncontrollably at high speed. The self-locking control unit anchors the electric anchoring device.
[0018] Furthermore, the calculation process for the given value of the slewing damping correction is as follows: The specific calculation method for determining the ideal windproof adaptive angle of a gantry crane is as follows: The reference is based on south as 0°, west as 90°, north as 180°, and east as 270°; When (Φ N -Φ 风 )<(Φ N+1 -Φ 风 When the ideal windproof angle Φ of the gantry crane is 0, 理想 For Φ N ; When (Φ N -Φ 风 )≥(Φ N+1 -ω 风 When the ideal windproof angle Φ of the gantry crane is 0, 理想 For Φ N+1 ; Where: Φ 风 Φ is the wind direction angle detected by the wind monitoring unit. N Φ is the angle of the nearest keyhole in the counterclockwise direction of the wind direction. N+1 The angle of the nearest keyhole in the clockwise direction of the wind direction; Based on the wind-resistant adaptive ideal angle of the gantry crane, the slewing angular velocity limit value is determined, and the calculation method of the slewing angular velocity limit value ω is as follows: ω=(2 β (Φ-Φ理想 )) 0.5 ; Where: β is the angular acceleration of the rotary mechanism, Φ is the real-time angle value of the rotary mechanism, Φ 理想 Ideal angle for wind protection and adaptive design of gantry cranes; The rotational damping is calculated based on the aforementioned rotational angular velocity limit ω, and the rotational damping correction setpoint ω 阻尼 The calculation formula is as follows: ω 阻尼 =((Φ-Φ 理论 ) / (Φ 理想 -Φ 起始 )) 0.5 ω Where: ω 阻尼 Φ represents the actual angle of the slewing mechanism. 理论 For the adaptive adjustment of the rotary mechanism, the corresponding theoretical angle, Φ 理想 For the ideal windproof adaptive angle of the gantry crane, Φ 起始 ω represents the initial angle before the adaptive adjustment of the slewing mechanism, and ω represents the angular velocity limit value for the adaptive adjustment of the slewing mechanism.
[0019] This invention provides a steady-state control system for gantry cranes. By equipping the gantry crane with devices for vibration monitoring and suppression, wire rope monitoring and breakage prevention, and wind-resistant adaptive slewing mechanism, the safety and stability of gantry crane operation are enhanced. The steady-state control system for gantry cranes is the core of ensuring safe and efficient operation of the equipment and is crucial for the efficient and stable operation of bulk cargo terminals.

The specific judgment process is as follows: If 1.1 K 标准a >K 实际a ≥1.05 K 标准a The vibration monitoring sensor determines that the abnormal vibration of the corresponding key structural part has reached the alarm level. If K 实际a ≥1.1 K 标准a The vibration monitoring sensor determines that the abnormal vibration of the corresponding key structural part has reached the level of a fault.
[0046] Where: K 实际a The vibration amplitude value is the real-time monitoring value of any one of the seventh vibration acquisition sensors 12 to the fourteenth vibration acquisition sensors 19. K standard a represents the vibration amplitude value of any one of the seventh vibration acquisition sensors 12 to the fourteenth vibration acquisition sensors 19 during normal operation.
[0047] When the luffing mechanism of the gantry crane operates, the same anomaly detection method is used for the data from the first vibration acquisition sensor 6 to the fifth vibration acquisition sensor 10 and the fifteenth vibration acquisition sensor 20. The specific detection process is as follows: If 1.1 K 标准b >K 实际b ≥1.05 K 标准b The vibration monitoring sensor determines that the abnormal vibration of the corresponding key structural part has reached the alarm level.

[0052] The encoder detects the rotational displacement of the rotary motor to calculate the corresponding rotation angle. For example, if the rotation angle is 0 degrees, the absolute encoder value is 100. When the rotation angle reaches 90 degrees, the rotary motor needs to rotate 2000 times, and the absolute encoder value becomes 9100. This change in encoder value can be used to calculate the actual rotation angle of the rotary mechanism.
[0053] The process of comparing the real-time wind direction angle of the bulk cargo terminal operating environment transmitted by the wind monitoring unit 36 with the real-time angle of the slewing mechanism transmitted by the absolute encoder module 39, and generating a control signal based on the real-time wind speed to control the drive unit 2 and the self-locking control unit 40 to adaptively control the slewing structure of the pedestal crane is as follows: The real-time wind direction angle of the bulk cargo terminal operating environment transmitted by the wind monitoring unit 36 is compared with the real-time angle of the slewing mechanism transmitted by the absolute encoder module 39: When the deviation between the minimum windward angle of the upper part of the gantry crane above the slewing structure and the wind direction angle is less than the threshold angle, no adaptive adjustment is required; 15° ≥ the threshold angle ≥ 8°. When the minimum windward angle of the upper part of the gantry crane above the slewing structure deviates from the wind direction angle by ≥ the threshold angle, proceed to the next step; The self-locking control unit 40 releases the electric anchoring device 35; The control drive unit 2 performs adaptive adjustment control of the slewing angle according to the given value of the slewing damping correction until the slewing structure rotates to the adaptive ideal angle. During the adaptive adjustment of the slewing angle, when the slewing structure is subjected to wind force and the slewing angle exceeds the theoretical angle of the adaptive adjustment, the slewing inverter in the control drive unit 2 outputs the reverse damping control torque to prevent the slewing structure from rotating uncontrollably at high speed. The self-locking control unit 40 anchors the electric anchoring device 35.

N Φ is the angle of the nearest keyhole in the counterclockwise direction of the wind direction. N+1 The angle of the nearest keyhole in the clockwise direction of the wind direction; Based on the wind-resistant adaptive ideal angle of the gantry crane, the slewing angular velocity limit value is determined, and the calculation method of the slewing angular velocity limit value ω is as follows: ω=(2 β (Φ-Φ 理想 )) 0.5 ; Where: β is the angular acceleration of the rotary mechanism, Φ is the real-time angle value of the rotary mechanism, Φ 理想 Ideal angle for wind protection and adaptive design of gantry cranes; The rotational damping is calculated based on the aforementioned rotational angular velocity limit ω, and the rotational damping correction setpoint ω 阻尼 The calculation formula is as follows: ω 阻尼 =((Φ-Φ 理论 ) / (Φ理想 -Φ 起始 )) 0.5 ω Where: ω 阻尼 Φ represents the actual angle of the slewing mechanism. 理论 For the adaptive adjustment of the rotary mechanism, the corresponding theoretical angle, Φ 理想 For the ideal windproof adaptive angle of the gantry crane, Φ 起始 ω represents the initial angle before the adaptive adjustment of the slewing mechanism, and ω represents the angular velocity limit value for the adaptive adjustment of the slewing mechanism.

S42: PLC control unit 2 begins to receive wind speed and wind direction detection data from wind monitoring unit 36 in real time; S43: When the wind speed is detected to exceed the wind protection threshold of the slewing structure of the gantry crane, the adaptive adjustment function of the slewing method is activated.

If the minimum windward angle of the upper part of the gantry crane above the slewing structure deviates from the wind direction angle by less than 10°, it is at the optimal windward angle and no adaptive adjustment is required.

Once the slewing structure is affected by wind and the slewing angle exceeds the theoretical angle of the adaptive adjustment, the PLC control unit 2 controls the slewing inverter in the drive unit 2 to output the reverse damping control torque to prevent the slewing structure from rotating uncontrollably at high speed.
