A 5G communication method is preferably used between the grab crane control units and the master control unit. This connection method allows each component to respond quickly, and each system can be controlled in time to prevent collisions between grab cranes.
[0026] The trolley, the trolley and the grab bucket are existing technologies. The trolley includes a main beam and a trolley track. The trolley track is distributed at both ends of the main beam. The main beam is suspended above the sand bin and moves along the length direction of the sand bin on the trolley track. The trolley track is provided with a motor, a rack and pinion and other components that drive the movement of the main beam. The trolley includes a grab bucket cab, a trolley track and a winch. The trolley track is provided along the length direction of the main beam. The grab bucket cab is provided on the trolley track. The movement of the grab bucket cab is achieved through components such as a motor, a rack and pinion. The winch is arranged at the bottom of the grab bucket cab. The winch is connected to the grab bucket to achieve the lifting and lowering of the grab bucket. The trolley, the trolley and the grab bucket together constitute the structure of the gantry crane. The trolley forms the crossbeam structure of the gantry crane, and the trolley is arranged on the crossbeam.

Each unit collects the real-time position information of the trolley and the trolley of each grab crane, and then processes the three-dimensional position information through the PLC controller, monitors the distance information between the trolleys of each grab crane and the position information of the trolley on the trolley in real time, and combines the grabbing work instructions given to the grab crane by the sand bin feeding management control system and the operating status of each grab crane at that time. After comprehensive calculation, the PLC of each grab crane control system uniformly controls the reasonable operation of each grab crane to prevent collisions between adjacent grab cranes. When the relative distance between the trolleys reaches the threshold, an alarm will be issued. When the safe distance is reached, the PLC controller will control the grab crane's braking system to brake urgently to prevent collisions. Similarly, the PLC controller will also monitor the position of the trolley in real time, and issue a braking command when the trolley approaches the two ends of the track to prevent the trolley from colliding with the two ends of the track.
[0028] Furthermore, the anti-collision unit between the grab cranes includes a laser distance measuring device, a mechanical anti-collision buffer device, a travel limit device, a PLC controller and a trolley position detection device; the laser distance measuring device is installed on the main beam of two adjacent grab crane trolleys to detect the distance between the two adjacent grab crane trolleys; the output end of the laser distance measuring device is connected to the input end of the PLC controller.

[0030] The laser distance measuring device is an existing technology, such as laser distance measuring devices of models TS-4000F, SD-C1100, QL-SR1050, etc. The laser emitting device continuously emits signals to the laser reflector, and the distance between the two will change with the relative movement of the grab crane. By real-time monitoring of the distance change between the two, and transmitting the distance change information to the PLC controller, the PLC controller makes instructions according to the settings. When the detection distance between the two grab cranes is less than 5m, the PLC controller of each grab crane will control each grab crane to slow down and alarm. When the detection distance is less than 3m, the PLC controller of each grab crane will control each grab crane to stop running.
[0031] Furthermore, the travel limit device 1 includes a travel limit switch and a trigger rod; multiple groups of the travel limit devices 1 are respectively installed on the grab end beams of the grab crane close to the adjacent grab crane, and the travel limit devices on the adjacent grab end beams are arranged in a pair; the input end of the limit switch is connected to the output end of the PLC controller. When the distance between the two adjacent large trolleys is less than 1.4m, the two travel limit switches installed on the left or right ends of the trolley are triggered by the trigger rods installed on the adjacent grab crane, the travel switch is actuated, and the action signal is transmitted to the PLC controller of the grab crane, and the PLC controller controls the grab crane trolley drive system to lose power and the brake system to engage the brake to prevent the adjacent grab cranes from colliding.
[0032] The limit switch is a prior art one, preferably a LX33-12 single roller travel switch.
[0033] Furthermore, the trolley position detection device includes a radar positioning detection device and a radar reflector. The radar positioning detection device is installed at one end of the trolley track, the radar reflector is installed on the grab, and the radar positioning detection device is connected to the general control unit.
[0034] The radar positioning detection device and the radar reflector are existing technologies. The radar positioning detection device can be a radar rangefinder, such as models TF03, LK-G5000, RPLIDAR, etc.
[0035] Under the joint action of the radar positioning detection device and the radar reflector, the displacement change of the grab bucket (radar reflector) is measured. Since the radar positioning detection device is fixedly set, its output end is facing the movement direction of the trolley, so that the specific position of the grab bucket and the specific position of the trolley on the trolley track can be identified.
[0036] Furthermore, the anti-collision unit between each grab bucket and the aggregate silo wall includes a trolley position detection device and a stroke limit device 2; the trolley position detection unit is installed on the main beam of the trolley, and is used to detect the moving position of the trolley; the output end of the trolley position detection unit is connected to the input end of the trolley position detection unit; the stroke limit device 2 is installed at both ends of the trolley main beam to prevent the trolley from colliding with the trolley guardrail.
[0037] Furthermore, the trolley position detection device includes a laser rangefinder and a laser reflecting component; the laser rangefinder is installed on the main beam of the trolley, and the laser reflecting component is installed on the trolley. The laser output by the laser rangefinder is irradiated on the laser reflecting component and reflected back to the laser rangefinder.
[0038] The laser rangefinder and the laser reflecting component work together to measure the displacement change of the trolley (the laser reflecting component on the grab cab). Since the laser rangefinder is fixedly set, its output end faces the direction of movement of the trolley, so that the specific position of the trolley on the trolley track can be identified.
[0039] Furthermore, the travel limit device 2 includes a limit switch 2 and a trigger rod 2; multiple groups of the travel limit device 2 are respectively installed at both ends of the trolley main beam; the input end of the limit switch 2 is connected to the output end of each grab crane control unit.
[0040] The second travel limit device is installed at both ends of the trolley running track on the main beam, and the two limit switches are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the rear end of the trolley running track, 3m away from the rear end end beam of the grab crane trolley. When the trolley runs to the action area of the travel limit switch at both ends of the trolley track, the trigger bar rolls the travel limit switch roller, the switch is actuated, and the action signal is transmitted to the PLC controller of the grab crane. The PLC controller controls the trolley drive device to lose power and the brake system to stop the car, thereby avoiding collision between the trolley and the trolley guardrail or the grab and the side wall of the aggregate bin.
[0041] Furthermore, each grab bucket and ground pedestrian anti-collision unit includes a projection lamp and a radar positioning detection device; the projection lamp is installed under the trolley and projects colored light to the area below the grab bucket to prevent ground personnel from mistakenly entering the grab bucket crane operating area; the projection lamp input end is connected to the output end of each grab bucket crane control unit; the radar positioning detection device is installed at one end of the trolley track to detect the moving position of the trolley.
[0042] When the grab crane is running, the projection lamp installed under the grab crane trolley automatically lights up and projects colored lights to the area below the grab crane to remind ground personnel who have mistakenly entered the grab crane operation area. At the same time, the master control unit continuously compares the position information of each grab crane with the pedestrian passage boundary data. When the difference between the two is less than 5m, the master control unit sends instructions to each grab crane control unit through 5G communication, causing the grab crane to slow down, sound the horn, and stop. The grab crane automatically stops when it approaches the area, realizing the isolation of man and machine, avoiding collision between man and machine, and causing personal injury.
[0043] Working process: When the grab crane is running on the track of the sand bin trolley, the radar positioning detection device installed at one end of the main beam of the trolley in the aggregate bin continuously transmits detection signals to the aggregate bin, and the radar reflector installed on the grab crane reflects the signal emitted by the transmitter to the radar positioning detection device. The radar positioning detection device measures the position of each grab crane in the aggregate bin by capturing the reflected signal, and sends the position information of the grab crane to the main control unit by communication. The main control unit calculates the grabbing work instructions given to the grab crane by the aggregate bin feeding management control system and the operating status of each grab crane at that time according to the specific position of each grab crane, and then controls the reasonable operation of each grab crane through the PLC of each grab crane control system to prevent collision between adjacent grab crane trolleys; at the same time, the laser ranging device installed on each grab crane trolley detects the distance between adjacent grab crane trolleys in real time, and transmits the detection data to each grab crane control unit through cables. When the detection distance between the two grab cranes is less than 5m, each grab crane control unit controls each The grab crane connects to the trolley deceleration relay and starts to decelerate. When the detection distance between the two grab cranes is less than 3m, the control unit of each grab crane controls the PLC to connect the trolley parking relay to stop the operation or wait. When the two protection links mentioned above fail to slow down and stop the grab crane as planned, the grab crane trolley continues to slide. When the distance between the two adjacent trolleys is less than 1.4m, the two limit switches installed on the left or right ends of the trolley are triggered by the trigger rods installed on the adjacent grab cranes, the travel switch is actuated, and the action signal is transmitted to the grab crane PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the grab crane trolley drive system to lose power and the brake system to prevent the adjacent grab cranes from colliding. When the system control and braking are not accurate, the grab cranes fail to decelerate and stop in time during the parking process, causing the grab crane trolley to slip on the trolley track. When the distance between the two adjacent grab cranes is less than 1.2m, the mechanical anti-collision buffer devices at the two ends of the main beams of the two grab crane trolleys slow down or release the impact force through contact to avoid harmful collisions.When the grab crane trolley runs on the trolley track, the laser distance measuring device installed at the front end of the trolley track detects the trolley position in real time, and transmits the detection data to the grab crane PLC controller through the cable. The PLC controller compares the trolley position with the position of the aggregate bin side wall preset in the PLC controller. When the trolley position differs from the position of the aggregate bin side wall by 3m, the trolley deceleration relay and the trolley parking relay are connected to control the trolley to decelerate and stop, so as to achieve collision prevention between the grab bucket and the side wall of the aggregate bin; the front and rear end travel limit devices of each grab crane trolley running track are used as redundant protection for the trolley travel limit. The two limit switches at the front end of the trolley running track are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the front end of the trolley running track at a distance of 1.5m from the front end beam of the grab crane trolley, and the two limit switches at the rear end of the trolley running track are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the rear end of the trolley running track at a distance of 3m from the rear end beam of the grab crane trolley. When the trolley runs to the action area of the limit switches at both ends of the trolley track, the trigger The second trigger rod rolls over the second roller of the limit switch, the switch moves, and the action signal is uploaded to the PLC controller of the grab crane through the cable, which controls the grab crane trolley drive system to lose power, the brake system to engage, and the car stops, so as to avoid collision between the trolley and the truck guardrail or the grab and the side wall of the aggregate bin; when the grab crane is running, the projection lamp installed under the grab crane trolley automatically lights up, and projects colored lights to the area below the grab bucket to remind ground personnel to accidentally enter the grab crane operation area; at the same time, the main control unit continuously compares the grab crane position information with the sand bin pedestrian passage boundary data set in the system. When the difference between the two is less than 5m, the main control unit sends instructions to the PLC controller through 5G communication to control the grab crane to connect the trolley deceleration relay to slow down, the alarm relay to sound, and the trolley parking relay to stop, so as to avoid the grab crane from entering the area above the pedestrian passage on the left and right ends of the sand bin to operate, and realize automatic parking of the grab crane when it approaches the area, so as to achieve isolation between man and machine, avoid collision between man and machine, and cause personal injury.
