Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lifting equipment control technology, specifically to a lifting equipment control system, method, device, medium, and program. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lifting equipment is gradually adopting wireless control to replace traditional wired control. Wireless-controlled lifting equipment is usually equipped with a communication module and a main control module. After the equipment is turned on, the main control module is generally kept powered on to ensure that it can respond to control commands at any time.

[0003] However, while this ensures that the device is always responsive, it will still consume power when the device is not performing any actions, causing the battery energy to be wasted for no reason.

[0004] Against this backdrop, how to reduce power consumption during non-operation periods while ensuring the remote management capability of lifting equipment has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a remote switching control method, system, device, medium, and program for lifting equipment, which can reduce power consumption during non-operation periods while ensuring the remote management capability of the lifting equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a remote switching control method for lifting equipment, including: In response to a power-on event, power is supplied to the wireless communication module via the power supply module, enabling the wireless communication module to enter a communicable state; Establish a communication connection between the mobile terminal control module and the wireless communication module; The mobile terminal control module sends control commands to the target lifting equipment. The control commands include at least a power-on command and a power-off command, which are used to control the power-on and power-off status of the lifting equipment. When the mobile control module sends a power-on command to the target lifting equipment, the power-on command is received by the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment, and based on the power-on command, the power supply circuit of the main control board is controlled to be turned on so that the main control board is powered on and resumes working status. When the mobile control module sends a shutdown command to the target lifting equipment, the shutdown command is received through the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment, and based on the shutdown command, the power supply circuit of the main control board is cut off, so that the main control board stops supplying power and enters a power-saving state.

[0008] Optionally, the control commands may further include power on / off status query commands; The step of sending control commands to the target lifting equipment through the mobile terminal control module includes: The mobile terminal control module sends a power on / off status query command to the target lifting equipment. Specifically, when the mobile control module sends a power-on / off status query command to the target lifting equipment, the power-on / off status query command is received by the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment, and the current status information of the target lifting equipment is returned to the mobile control module based on the power-on / off status query command.

[0009] Optionally, the status information of the target lifting equipment includes at least one of the following: Is the main control board currently powered on? Is the device currently powered on or off? Is it currently in the top position? Is the brake currently engaged? Is the device currently in a stationary, suspended state? Is the device currently authorized to shut down? What is the device number, group, and online status?

[0010] Optionally, the method further includes: Based on the status information of the current target lifting equipment received by the mobile control module, it is determined whether to issue a shutdown command to the target lifting equipment.

[0011] Optionally, determining whether to issue a shutdown command to the target lifting equipment based on the current status information of the target lifting equipment received by the mobile control module includes: If the status information of the current target lifting equipment meets the preset conditions, a shutdown command is sent to the current target lifting equipment to cut off the power supply circuit of the main control board; The preset conditions include at least one of the following: The equipment has now risen to the top position, is currently in a stationary suspended state, the equipment's braking mechanism has been activated and is in a stable holding state, no operation control command has been received within the preset time, the user has actively selected the power-saving shutdown mode, and the system has determined that the current target lifting equipment does not need to maintain continuous power supply to the main control board.

[0012] Optionally, the number of target lifting devices may be one or more, and some target lifting devices may be grouped together; The methods for issuing start-up and shutdown commands to the target lifting equipment include at least one of the following: The system can issue start / stop commands to a single target lifting device, issue start / stop commands to multiple selected target lifting devices in batches, issue start / stop commands to lifting devices in a preset group in a unified manner, and issue start / stop commands to all online lifting devices in a unified manner.

[0013] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a remote switching control system for lifting equipment, comprising: A mobile terminal control module is used to send control commands to the lifting equipment. The control commands include at least a power-on command and a power-off command, which are used to control the power-on and power-off states of the lifting equipment. At least one lifting device, the lifting device comprising: The main control board is used to execute the operation control logic of the lifting equipment; The power control module is used to connect or disconnect the power supply circuit of the main control board; The wireless communication module is used to control the power control module to connect or disconnect the power supply circuit of the main control board according to the received power-on or power-off command; The power supply module is used to supply power to the wireless communication module after the main switch of the lifting equipment is turned on.

[0014] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a lifting device, including... The main control board is used to execute the operation control logic of the lifting equipment; The power control module is used to connect or disconnect the power supply circuit of the main control board; The wireless communication module is used to control the power control module to connect or disconnect the power supply circuit of the main control board according to the received power-on or power-off command; The power supply module is used to supply power to the wireless communication module after the main switch of the lifting equipment is turned on.

[0015] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a storage medium that stores one or more computer-executable instructions. When the one or more computer-executable instructions are executed, the remote switching control method for the lifting equipment as described in the first aspect above is implemented.

[0016] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product including one or more computer-executable instructions, which, when executed, implement the remote switching control method for lifting equipment as described in the first aspect above.

[0017] The remote switching control method for lifting equipment provided in this application includes: responding to a power-on event by supplying power to a wireless communication module via a power supply module, enabling the wireless communication module to enter a communicable state; establishing a communication connection between a mobile terminal control module and the wireless communication module; and sending a control command to the target lifting equipment via the mobile terminal control module, the control command including at least a power-on command and a power-off command, the power-on command and power-off command being used to control the power-on and power-off states of the lifting equipment; wherein, when the mobile control module sends a power-on command to the target lifting equipment, the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment receives the power-on command, and based on the power-on command, controls the connection of the power supply circuit of the main control board, so that the main control board powers on and resumes its working state; when the mobile control module sends a power-off command to the target lifting equipment, the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment receives the power-off command, and based on the power-off command, controls the disconnection of the power supply circuit of the main control board, so that the main control board stops supplying power and enters a power-saving state.

[0018] As can be seen, in the remote switching control method for lifting equipment provided in this application embodiment, after responding to a power-on event, power is first supplied to the wireless communication module (e.g., WiFi board) in the lifting equipment to establish a communication connection between the wireless communication module and the mobile terminal module (e.g., APP). Then, control commands can be sent to the target lifting equipment through the mobile terminal control module, including power-on commands for controlling the power-on and power-off status of the lifting equipment. Subsequently, the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment can control the connection or disconnection of the power supply circuit of the main control board based on the power-on and power-off commands to realize remote switching control of the target lifting equipment.

[0019] In other words, the remote switch control scheme provided in this application embodiment, while ensuring that the wireless communication module (e.g., WiFi) remains online and the device still has remote communication capabilities, designs the main control board to be remotely controlled to turn on and off. Therefore, when the device cannot operate continuously, the main control board can be turned off to save power, and when operation needs to be resumed, the mobile control module remotely wakes it up and connects the main control board to power. Therefore, the remote switch control method for lifting equipment provided in this application embodiment can reduce power consumption during non-operation periods while ensuring the remote management capability of the lifting equipment.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without creative effort.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the remote switch control method for lifting equipment provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is another schematic flowchart of the remote switch control method for lifting equipment provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of control command transmission in an embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the remote switch control system for the lifting equipment provided in the embodiments of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of this application 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 this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, those skilled in the art can understand the concepts without making any inventive decisions. Wireless electric cranes are widely used in material handling, construction assistance, maintenance, installation, and other scenarios requiring short-distance or fixed-point lifting. With the development of wireless control technology, more and more lifting equipment is adopting wireless communication with the control terminal to replace traditional wired control methods, thereby improving operational flexibility and reducing wiring limitations.

[0023] Existing wireless cranes are typically equipped with a communication module and a main control module. After the device is turned on, the main control module is usually kept powered on to ensure that it can respond to control commands at any time. Although this ensures that the device is always controllable, in actual use, the crane is not always in motion. There are often scenarios where the crane is stationary and suspended for a long time, such as when the crane rises to the top and remains braked and suspended, waiting for the next command.

[0024] In such scenarios, although the crane does not perform actual lifting or lowering actions, the main control board of the equipment remains continuously powered, resulting in continuous power consumption. This leads to the ineffective consumption of battery energy and shortens the usable time of the equipment after a single charge. Especially for wireless electric cranes, the endurance directly affects the efficiency of on-site operations. Therefore, how to reduce power consumption during non-operation periods while ensuring the remote management capability of the equipment has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0025] In one wireless crane control method, after the main power switch of the crane is turned on, the communication module and the main control board are powered on simultaneously. The user sends operation control commands to the crane through a remote control or APP, and the main control board executes actions such as raising, lowering, stopping, and braking according to the received commands.

[0026] In this scheme, to ensure the crane can respond to control commands at any time, the main control board is typically kept continuously powered. Even when the crane is stationary, suspended on top, or waiting for work, the main control board remains on. Although the control terminal can send operation commands, it usually cannot remotely control the power supply status of the main control board itself, and lacks a remote start-up mechanism for energy saving.

[0027] In multi-device scenarios, existing solutions generally focus on solving operation control or equipment connection problems, but lack support for energy-saving management capabilities such as unified start-up and shutdown of multiple cranes, start-up and shutdown by selected equipment, and start-up and shutdown by equipment group.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, the existing solutions have the following drawbacks: First, the main control board is continuously powered, resulting in significant standby power consumption: Even when the wireless crane is stationary or waiting to operate, the main control board continues to work, causing unnecessary power consumption. Second, remote power on / off control of the main control board is not possible: The control terminal typically only controls the crane's operation and lacks the ability to remotely control the power supply to the main control board. Third, equipment runtime is affected: Due to the continuous power consumption of the main control board during non-operational periods, the actual operating time of the wireless crane after a single charge is significantly shortened. Fourth, there is a lack of state-based power-saving control logic: The existing solutions cannot automatically execute power-saving control based on conditions such as top position, braking status, and stationary suspension status. Fifth, the ability to manage power saving across multiple devices is insufficient: For scenarios where multiple wireless cranes operate simultaneously, the existing solutions lack management capabilities such as one-click batch power on / off, group power on / off, and selective power on / off.

[0029] Therefore, a new type of remote switching control solution for lifting equipment is urgently needed to solve the problems of continuous power consumption of the main control board, insufficient equipment endurance, and inability to remotely control the main control board's on / off state via software in existing wireless cranes during static suspension or standby. Specifically, this includes: First, resolving the problem of ineffective power consumption caused by the main control board remaining powered on when the wireless crane is not in operation; Second, resolving the problem that existing control terminals cannot remotely control the crane's main control board's on / off state; Third, resolving the problem of continued power consumption even after the crane has risen to the top and entered the brake holding state; Fourth, resolving the problem of achieving power-saving control without shutting down the equipment's basic communication capabilities; Fifth, resolving the problem of not being able to uniformly perform remote on / off management for single cranes, multiple cranes, or selected cranes; Sixth, extending the actual usage time of the wireless crane after a single charge, thereby improving the equipment's on-site operating efficiency.

[0030] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a remote switching control method, system, device, medium, and program for lifting equipment, which can reduce power consumption during non-operation periods while ensuring the remote management capability of the lifting equipment.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the remote switch control method for lifting equipment provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is another schematic flowchart of the remote switch control method for lifting equipment provided in this application embodiment; wherein, Figure 2 This is a detailed flowchart of the entire control process.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The remote switch control method may include the following steps.

[0033] Step S101: In response to the power-on event, power is supplied to the wireless communication module through the power supply module so that the wireless communication module enters the communication state.

[0034] Combination Figure 2 As shown, step S21: Start.

[0035] Step S22: Power on the device.

[0036] In this embodiment of the application, the first step in the entire control process is the power-on initialization of the device.

[0037] In practice, when the user turns on the main switch of the lifting equipment (such as a crane), the power supply module starts to supply power to the wireless communication module, enabling the wireless communication module to enter a communicable state.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the wireless communication module may be a WiFi board.

[0039] In this embodiment of the application, the WiFi board is a wireless communication control board installed in the lifting equipment, used to establish a communication connection with the mobile terminal control module (e.g., an App), and to receive, parse, and execute remote control commands; wherein, the App is a control application installed on a mobile phone, tablet, or other smart terminal, used to communicate with the lifting equipment, query its status, and perform control operations.

[0040] In this embodiment of the application, a mobile app is preferably used as the server, but the control terminal can also be a tablet, an industrial control terminal, host computer software, a dedicated remote control terminal or a cloud platform control terminal.

[0041] In other words, the preferred method of this application embodiment is WiFi communication. In other embodiments, Bluetooth, local area network, 4G / 5G, ZigBee or other wireless communication methods may also be used to realize functions such as remote status query and power on / off control of the lifting equipment.

[0042] At this time, whether the main control board in the lifting equipment is powered on can be determined by the system default policy or controlled by the wireless communication module (WiFi board).

[0043] Among them, the main control board is the main control circuit board of the lifting equipment, which is used to execute the main operating control logic of the equipment, including control functions such as lifting, lowering, stopping, and braking; therefore, if the main control board is continuously powered, the standby power consumption is relatively large.

[0044] Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, a wireless communication module (WiFi board) is preferably used to control whether the main control board is powered on.

[0045] In other words, in this embodiment of the application, after the main switch of the device is turned on, the power supply module prioritizes or at least supplies power to the wireless communication module WiFi board, so that the WiFi board remains in an online communication state; the power supply to the main control board is not fixed and continuously connected, but is determined by the power control module controlled by the WiFi board to connect or disconnect.

[0046] This completes the first step of the entire control process: device power-on initialization.

[0047] Back Figure 1 Step S102: Establish a communication connection between the mobile terminal control module and the wireless communication module.

[0048] After the device is powered on and initialized, proceed to the second step: establishing a wireless communication connection.

[0049] Specifically, the mobile terminal control module and the wireless communication module (WiFi board) inside the lifting equipment establish a connection through WiFi communication; after the connection is established, the wireless communication module can identify the equipment identity information of the target lifting equipment, such as equipment number, equipment name, group information or online status.

[0050] Combination Figure 2 As shown, step S23: Is the APP connected? If yes, proceed to step S241; if no, proceed to step S242.

[0051] Step S241: Status query.

[0052] After the mobile terminal control module (APP) and the wireless communication module (WiFi board) successfully establish a communication connection, you can proceed to the next step to check the current on / off status of the target lifting equipment.

[0053] Step S242: Reconnect the APP.

[0054] Back Figure 1Step S103: The mobile terminal control module sends control commands to the target lifting equipment. The control commands include at least a power-on command and a power-off command, which are used to control the power-on and power-off status of the lifting equipment.

[0055] In an optional implementation, the control instructions may further include power on / off status query instructions.

[0056] The step of sending control commands to the target lifting equipment through the mobile terminal control module includes: sending a power on / off status query command to the target lifting equipment through the mobile terminal control module.

[0057] In this embodiment of the application, before sending a power on / off command to the target lifting equipment, it is necessary to query the current power on / off status of the target lifting equipment to determine whether the current equipment needs to be powered on, that is, whether the mobile terminal control module (APP) can send a power on / off command, and specifically whether a power on command or a power off command needs to be sent.

[0058] When the mobile control module (APP) sends a power-on / off status query command to the target lifting equipment, it can receive the power-on / off status query command through the wireless communication module (WiFi board) in the lifting equipment, and return the current status information of the target lifting equipment to the mobile control module (APP) based on the power-on / off status query command.

[0059] In an optional implementation, the status information of the target lifting equipment may include at least one of the following: whether the main control board is currently powered on, whether the equipment is currently in a powered-on or powered-off state, whether it is currently in the top position, whether the brake is currently activated, whether it is currently in a stationary suspended state, whether the equipment is currently allowed to be powered off, and the current equipment number, group, and online status.

[0060] Among them, the static suspension state refers to the state in which the load on the lifting equipment is in a suspended or held state and the equipment does not perform any lifting or lowering movements; the top position refers to the state when the lifting equipment is raised to the preset highest position or the mechanical upper limit position; the brake activation state refers to the state in which the braking mechanism of the lifting equipment has entered the brake holding state and can maintain the current lifting position.

[0061] Back Figure 2 Step S25: Is the device powered off? If yes, proceed to step S261; otherwise, proceed to step S262.

[0062] Step S261: Remote power-on.

[0063] The above status information can all be used as a basis for subsequent judgment on whether the lifting equipment needs to be turned on or off.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, when the mobile control module (APP) sends a power-on command to the target lifting equipment, the power-on command can be received through the wireless communication module (WiFi board) in the lifting equipment, and based on the power-on command, the power supply circuit of the main control board can be controlled to be turned on so that the main control board is powered on and resumes its working state.

[0065] Specifically, when a user selects the target lifting equipment in the APP and issues a power-on command, the APP sends a power-on control signal to the WiFi board of the corresponding lifting equipment. After receiving the power-on control signal, the WiFi board can control the power control module to connect the power supply circuit of the main control board, so that the main control board is powered on and resumes working status, thereby enabling the lifting equipment to enter the runnable control state and completing the remote power-on process.

[0066] In this embodiment, the WiFi board controls the power supply to the main control board mainly through the power control module. The power control module can be implemented in any of the following ways: relay control, MOSFET switch control, power management chip control, controlled switch circuit control, and other control methods that can realize the on / off switching of the main control board power supply circuit.

[0067] To facilitate understanding, the transmission paths of control commands and signals throughout the entire start-up and shutdown control process will be explained below, using a crane as an example, in conjunction with the attached diagram. Figure 3 To explain, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of control command transmission in an embodiment of this application.

[0068] First, the control terminal APP located on the mobile phone / tablet application interface issues control commands and sends the corresponding control signals to the WiFi board in the crane equipment through a wireless communication link. The wireless communication method includes 4G / 5G / WiFi transmission, etc., and this application preferably adopts WiFi communication.

[0069] Secondly, after the wireless receiving module (i.e. WiFi board) at the crane end receives the control signal, the control power control module connects or disconnects the power supply circuit of the crane core control unit (i.e., main control board) to realize the remote start-up and shutdown function.

[0070] Step S262: Does the device need to be powered off to enter power-saving mode? If yes, proceed to step S27; otherwise, proceed to step S31.

[0071] Step S27: Remote shutdown.

[0072] Step S28: Energy saving control.

[0073] Power saving control refers to cutting off the power supply to the main control board and keeping only the WiFi board online when preset conditions are met, in order to reduce the overall power consumption of the device.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, the remote switch control method further includes: determining whether to issue a shutdown command to the target lifting equipment based on the current status information of the target lifting equipment received by the mobile control module.

[0075] In a specific implementation, the method for determining whether to issue a shutdown command to the target lifting equipment based on the status information of the current target lifting equipment received by the mobile control module may include: if the status information of the current target lifting equipment meets preset conditions, then issue a shutdown command to the current target lifting equipment to cut off the power supply circuit of the main control board.

[0076] The preset conditions may include at least one of the following: the equipment has risen to the top position, the equipment is currently in a stationary suspended state, the equipment's braking mechanism has been activated and is in a stable holding state, no operation control command has been received within a preset time, the user actively selects the power-saving shutdown mode, and the system determines that the current target lifting equipment does not need to maintain continuous power supply to the main control board.

[0077] If the status information fed back by the lifting equipment indicates that the above preset conditions have been met, the power-saving conditions can be triggered, and a shutdown command can be issued through the mobile terminal control module to start the remote shutdown task.

[0078] In this embodiment of the application, when the mobile control module (APP) sends a shutdown command to the target lifting equipment, the shutdown command can be received through the wireless communication module (WiFi board) in the lifting equipment, and based on the shutdown command, the power supply circuit of the main control board can be cut off so that the main control board stops supplying power and enters a power saving state.

[0079] Specifically, when a user selects the target lifting equipment in the APP and issues a shutdown command, or when the above status information meets the preset conditions, the APP sends a shutdown control signal to the WiFi board of the corresponding lifting equipment. After receiving the shutdown control signal, the WiFi board can control the power control module to cut off the power supply circuit of the main control board, so that the main control board stops supplying power and enters the power saving state, thus completing the remote shutdown process.

[0080] In this embodiment of the application, the main control board is preferably powered off when preset conditions are met, i.e., a power-saving control mechanism based on the working state.

[0081] For example, after the lifting equipment (such as a crane) rises to the top, the lifting equipment enters the brake holding state, and the load is in a stable suspended state. At this time, a shutdown control command can be sent to the target lifting equipment through the APP to cut off the main control board circuit and keep only the WiFi board powered by the battery, thereby significantly reducing the power consumption of the equipment during the static suspension period (i.e., non-operation state).

[0082] In other optional implementations, in addition to “the lifting equipment (e.g., a crane) rises to the top and the brakes start”, the main control board can also be triggered to shut down based on conditions such as no operation timeout, power threshold, load status, limit status, planned tasks or automatic strategies.

[0083] As an optional implementation, in addition to powering off the entire main control board, in other embodiments, only high-power-consuming modules, drive modules, processing modules or other non-essential operating modules in the main control board can be shut down to reduce power consumption.

[0084] Step S29: Is remote wake-up required? If yes, proceed to step S30; otherwise, return to step S28.

[0085] Step S30: Remote wake-up.

[0086] Step S31: End.

[0087] In this embodiment, the WiFi board remains online after the main control board is shut down; therefore, when the lifting equipment needs to be restored to operation, the user does not need to manually restart it at the equipment site. The user only needs to send a power-on command in the App, and the WiFi board can control the main control board to power on again.

[0088] Furthermore, embodiments of this application also provide a multi-device control method, namely, supporting unified remote start-up and shutdown control of multiple lifting devices.

[0089] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the number of target lifting devices can be one or more, and some target lifting devices can be divided into a group.

[0090] Based on this, the methods for issuing start-up and shutdown commands to target lifting equipment may include at least one of the following: issuing start-up and shutdown commands to a single target lifting equipment, issuing start-up and shutdown commands to multiple selected target lifting equipment in batches, issuing start-up and shutdown commands uniformly to lifting equipment in a preset group, and issuing start-up and shutdown commands uniformly to all online lifting equipment.

[0091] The above methods enable centralized energy-saving management of equipment when multiple lifting devices are operating simultaneously or are simultaneously in a static suspended state.

[0092] In the optional implementation, multi-device control can be performed not only manually by selecting multiple devices, but also by performing batch power on / off according to grouping, numbering, area, workstation, task mode, or preset strategy.

[0093] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the entire remote power on / off control logic can be led by the APP. In other embodiments, it can also be automatically triggered by the WiFi board, the device's local program, the host computer platform, or the cloud scheduling logic.

[0094] As can be seen, the remote switching control scheme for lifting equipment provided in this application can bring the following beneficial effects: First, it significantly reduces the ineffective power consumption during the equipment's static suspension period; this application reduces continuous power loss in non-operational states by cutting off the main control board's power supply when preset conditions are met, leaving only the WiFi board online. Second, it extends the usage time of the wireless lifting equipment crane after a single charge; since the main control board no longer needs to be continuously powered during the entire operation, battery consumption can be effectively reduced, enhancing the equipment's endurance. Third, it enables remote power-on / off control via software; users can directly perform remote power-on or power-off operations on the main control board through the App, without needing to perform manual operation on-site. Fourth, it balances power saving and online communication capabilities; even when the main control board is powered off, the WiFi board continues to be powered and remains online, thus the equipment still has status response and remote wake-up capabilities. Fifth, it is suitable for top-suspended power-saving scenarios; when the lifting equipment rises to the top and the brakes are activated, the main control board circuit can be shut down, which is particularly suitable for long-term suspension scenarios. Sixth, it supports unified management of multiple devices; it can perform unified remote start-up and shutdown control on single devices, selected multiple devices, grouped devices, or all devices, improving the collaborative management capability of multiple devices. Seventh, it improves on-site operation efficiency and intelligence; through remote control, power-saving logic, and batch management mechanisms, it enhances the automation and intelligence level of wireless crane equipment.

[0095] The remote switching control method for lifting equipment provided in this application includes: responding to a power-on event by supplying power to a wireless communication module via a power supply module, enabling the wireless communication module to enter a communicable state; establishing a communication connection between a mobile terminal control module and the wireless communication module; and sending a control command to the target lifting equipment via the mobile terminal control module, the control command including at least a power-on command and a power-off command, the power-on command and power-off command being used to control the power-on and power-off states of the lifting equipment; wherein, when the mobile control module sends a power-on command to the target lifting equipment, the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment receives the power-on command, and based on the power-on command, controls the connection of the power supply circuit of the main control board, so that the main control board powers on and resumes its working state; when the mobile control module sends a power-off command to the target lifting equipment, the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment receives the power-off command, and based on the power-off command, controls the disconnection of the power supply circuit of the main control board, so that the main control board stops supplying power and enters a power-saving state.

[0096] As can be seen, in the remote switching control method for lifting equipment provided in this application embodiment, after responding to a power-on event, power is first supplied to the wireless communication module (e.g., WiFi board) in the lifting equipment to establish a communication connection between the wireless communication module and the mobile terminal module (e.g., APP). Then, control commands can be sent to the target lifting equipment through the mobile terminal control module, including power-on commands for controlling the power-on and power-off status of the lifting equipment. Subsequently, the wireless communication module in the lifting equipment can control the connection or disconnection of the power supply circuit of the main control board based on the power-on and power-off commands to realize remote switching control of the target lifting equipment.

[0097] In other words, the remote switch control scheme provided in this application embodiment, while ensuring that the wireless communication module (e.g., WiFi) remains online and the device still has remote communication capabilities, designs the main control board to be remotely controlled to turn on and off. Therefore, when the device cannot operate continuously, the main control board can be turned off to save power, and when operation needs to be resumed, the mobile control module remotely wakes it up and connects the main control board to power. Therefore, the remote switch control method for lifting equipment provided in this application embodiment can reduce power consumption during non-operation periods while ensuring the remote management capability of the lifting equipment.
