The terminal 50 obtains the real-time weighing information by accessing the WEB server 420. On the other hand, in the case of network disconnection, the ground operation room module 30 can also manually input the batching table information and send it to the first control module 110 in the cab operation box 10.

[0035] Preferably, the number of overhead cranes is two, including the first overhead crane and the second overhead crane, and each overhead crane is equipped with a hook scale 220. The hook scale 220 with a specification of 25 tons is used in the first overhead crane, and the 16-ton hook scale 220 is used in the second overhead crane; the static weighing accuracy of both hook scales 220 is 5‰, and weighing sensors are installed on both hook scales 220. The weighing sensors send the weighing information to the hook scale instrument 210. The hook scale instrument 210 is provided with an independent digital junction box for each sensor and can display the signal value of each sensor.

[0036] This embodiment adopts the traditional three-level architecture in the industrial control system. Among them, the field level is the overhead crane module, the device level is the ground operation room module 30, and the system level is the server 40 and the terminal 50. When the cab operator weighs, the corresponding scrap steel type is selected by operating the first operation button 130. The hook scale 220, as the equipment main body, transmits the weighing information to the hook scale instrument 210 in the cab in real time by wireless RS485 signal. The hook scale instrument 210 then sends the weighing information to the first control module 110, and the first control module 110 sends the weighing information to the operation display module for display.

[0037] In some possible embodiments, a plurality of vibrators 60 are fixed on the side or top surface of the electromagnetic chuck 80. Such as Figure 3As shown in the figure, four vibrators 60 are symmetrically fixed in four directions on the side of the electromagnetic chuck 80. Among them, the vibrator 60 includes a housing and a vibrator remote control module 650, as well as a battery 640, a motor 620, an eccentric block, a vibration controller 610 and a vibrator wireless transceiver module 630 installed in the housing. The battery 640, the motor 620, and the eccentric block are connected in sequence. The vibration controller 610 is respectively connected to the battery 640, the vibrator wireless transceiver module 630, and the motor 620. The battery 640 supplies power to the vibration control module, the vibration wireless transceiver module, and the motor 620 of the vibrator 60. The output shaft of the motor 620 is connected to the eccentric block. Under the action of the motor 620, the eccentric block drives the entire vibrator 60 to vibrate, and the vibrator 60 transmits the vibration to the electromagnetic chuck 80. The vibrator wireless transceiver module 630 is wirelessly communicatively connected to the vibrator remote control module 650; among them, the vibrator remote control module 650 is installed on the cab operation box 10.

[0038] A plurality of mounting grooves 70 adapted to the housing are fixed on the side or top surface of the electromagnetic chuck 80, and a plurality of vibrators 60 are respectively installed in the mounting grooves 70. When the electromagnetic chuck 80 collects a certain kind of scrap steel, in order to achieve the weight required by the batching table, it is necessary to suck and release the scrap steel multiple times during the last collection of the scrap steel to meet the weight requirement. In this embodiment, four vibrators are symmetrically fixed in four directions on the electromagnetic chuck 80. Thus, when collecting the scrap steel for the last time, if the hook scale of the scrap steel shows overweight, the operator can operate the vibrator remote control module 650 to make the excess scrap steel fall under the vibration of one or more vibrators 60, avoiding multiple sucking and releasing of the scrap steel and improving the work efficiency.

[0039] This embodiment greatly reduces the manual scheduling cost during the batching process, improves the batching efficiency, and lays a hardware foundation for the rapid transfer of batching plan information and batching actual performance information through a three-level hardware architecture, reduces the difficulty of information management, and saves management costs.

[0040] As is known by common technical knowledge, the present utility model can be implemented by other embodiments without departing from its spiritual essence or essential features. Therefore, the above-disclosed embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present utility model or within the scope equivalent to the present utility model are encompassed by the present utility model.
