Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of container lock pin devices, in particular to a device for automatically monitoring the removal state of container lock pins. Background Art

[0002] Container transportation is increasingly becoming the main method of maritime transportation. Container ships are getting bigger and bigger, container terminals and berths are expanding, and terminal business management is also developing from manual management to informationization and automation to adapt to the busy container loading and unloading operations.

[0003] The advantage of container transportation is that cargo boxes manufactured according to global standards can be stacked up to place more cargo boxes in a limited space. In order to prevent the containers on the ship from tipping over due to the ship's turbulence, the upper and lower boxes of the stack must be connected with special container locks, which are container lock pins. The lock pins are provided by the shipping company. Therefore, there must be a process for installing and removing the lock pins when loading and unloading containers. Before loading the container, the lock pins must be installed in the lock pin installation holes at the designated positions of the four corners of the lower part of the container, and then the container is hoisted and loaded by the quay crane; conversely, when unloading the container, the lock pins at the lock pin installation holes at the designated positions of the four corners of the lower part of the container must be removed before the quay crane unloads the container onto the lighter to be transported to the yard, and then it is transported to the designated yard at the terminal for stacking.

[0004] In the container unloading process, after the locking pins of the container are removed and transported to the yard, the container needs to be lifted from the AGV or the inner container truck by a yard crane or rail crane and placed on the designated location of the stack in the yard. Since there is no turbulence on the shore as there is at sea, and in order to improve the efficiency of container unloading, the yard's operating specifications are that the boxes are not connected by locking pins. However, if due to negligence, the individual locking pins of a container are not removed, the container will be placed on the stack in the yard. At this time, the corner of the container and the lower box will be locked by this locking pin. When the container is lifted again to be loaded out of the terminal, because this corner is locked and hung, it will be lifted together with the next container. It may cause the tilt and collision of the lifted box body, causing the container stack to fall, and even cause a major production safety accident such as the overturning of the yard crane or rail crane.

[0005] Therefore, to prevent such accidents, it is necessary to thoroughly check whether the locking pin at the bottom has been removed before the container is transferred to the yard. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a device for automatically monitoring the removal status of the container lock pins, which can automatically monitor the removal status of the lock pins at the bottom of the container to prevent major production safety accidents such as overturning of yard cranes or rail cranes.
