DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only shows the components related to the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides an automated check-in station for truck drivers operating container trucks outside ports, used to control a rail-mounted crane. The station includes a stainless steel housing 10 and an operating platform 20 disposed within the housing 10. A gravity sensing platform 21 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10, and the operating platform 20 is electrically connected to the gravity sensing platform 21. During operation, an operator stands on the gravity sensing platform 21 and operates the platform 20 to control the rail-mounted crane. When the operator leaves the gravity sensing platform 21, the rail-mounted crane automatically shuts down and disconnects control, thereby ensuring operational safety.

[0020] Furthermore, the operating console 20 is a square shell-like structure with an opening (not shown) at its top. This opening extends through the wall of the console 20 and connects to its internal cavity. A control motherboard (not shown) is housed within the internal cavity of the console 20 for controlling the rail-mounted crane. This control motherboard, a common industrial motherboard available on the market, converts operating signals into digital signals, which are then converted by a single-chip microprocessor into digitally encoded signals for comprehensive processing by the main single-chip microcomputer on the motherboard. The signals are then converted by a communication isolation module into serial port signals that are transmitted to the main controller to control the rail-mounted crane.

[0021] A mounting plate 29 is rotatably mounted on the opening of the operating table 20. A switch lock 28 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 29. The switch lock 28 is partially connected to the operating table 20 and controls the opening and closing of the mounting plate 29 on the operating table 20, thereby protecting the control board within the cavity of the operating table 20. The switch lock 28 includes, but is not limited to, a cabinet lock. A sealing gasket is also provided between the mounting plate 29 and the operating table 20. This gasket ensures the sealing of the operating table 20, reduces the ingress of dust and moisture into the interior of the operating table 20, prevents damage to the control board, and improves the operational stability of the device. A heat dissipation hole (not shown) is provided on the side of the operating table 20 away from the mounting plate 29. The heat dissipation hole extends through the wall of the operating table 20 and faces the control board, ensuring the ventilation and heat dissipation effects of the present invention.

[0022] Further, see Figure 2 The mounting plate 29 of the operating table 20 is equipped with a touch screen 22, a button module 23, a knob module 24, an emergency stop module 25, a voice module 26 and a punch-in module 27.

[0023] The touch screen 22 is electrically connected to the control main board. The touch screen 22 is a common industrial capacitive touch screen on the market, which is used to realize operations such as face recognition and password input for operators, facilitates touch control by operators, ensures convenience and comfort of operation, and realizes human-computer interaction.

[0024] The button module 23 is electrically connected to the control motherboard and includes a button base and a button body retractably disposed within the button base. Pressing the button body transmits a signal to the control motherboard. Meanwhile, the knob module 24 is electrically connected to the control motherboard and includes a knob base and a knob body rotatably disposed within the knob base. Rotating the knob body transmits a signal to the control motherboard.

[0025] The emergency stop module 25 is a common mechanical emergency stop button on the market, which is installed on the power switch of the control main board to cut off the power supply and stop the rail crane from working immediately.

[0026] The voice module 26 includes a wireless voice transmitter and a broadcaster. The voice module 26 is electrically connected to the control mainboard to wirelessly connect to the mobile intercom to ensure communication between the operator.

[0027] The card punch module 27 includes a card insertion slot and a signal recognition device. The signal recognition device is a common IC card reader used to identify the card inserted through the card insertion slot. The card punch module 27 is electrically connected to the touch screen 22 and is also electrically connected to the control motherboard to identify the inserted card and collect information, thereby achieving digital control.

[0028] The top of the housing 10 is also provided with an indicator light, a warning light and a buzzer (not shown) for prompting and alarming.

[0029] It can be understood that the touch screen 22, button module 23, knob module 24, emergency stop module 25, voice module 26 and punch-in module 27 in the present invention are electrically connected to the control main board by other components, such as signal converters, optical fiber connectors and data transmission lines, etc. The control main board provides components with operations including signal transmission, power supply and human-computer interaction, and the specific structure is not repeated here.

[0030] Further, please refer again to Figure 1 The gravity sensing platform 21 includes a gravity sensing pad and a gravity sensor. The gravity sensor is installed under the gravity sensing pad, and the operator stands on the gravity sensing pad. The gravity sensor is a common load-bearing gravity sensor on the market. The gravity sensor is electrically connected to the control main board to transmit the received gravity signal to the control main board. When the control main board receives the specified weight signal, the rail crane can work. If the control main board does not receive the weight signal or the weight signal does not meet the standard, the rail crane stops working.

[0031] The specific operation of this utility model is as follows: the truck driver drives to the designated area and backs the truck into the lane's safe stop line, placing the rear wheels in reverse and against the chocks. The driver then puts on reflective clothing and a helmet and exits the truck. After returning the truck for a week, the driver inspects and unlocks the vehicle. After the inspection, the driver returns to the truck driver's station next to the cab and stands within the safe area above the gravity sensing platform 21. The driver inserts their card, enters their password, and scans the QR code on their mobile phone. After the scan is complete, the central control TOS system displays the corresponding container area task on the screen and sends instructions to the track operator to prepare for the operation. Simultaneously, the three-color light at the truck driver's station turns from green to yellow, and the LED screen displays and announces the "prepare for operation" message. In the central control room, the remote rail crane operator monitors the entire operation process and maintains constant communication. During the operation, the truck driver must always stand within the safe area of ​​the gravity sensing platform 21. If the gravity sensing platform 21 cannot detect the driver, the rail crane automatically stops. After the operation is completed, the driver drives to the factory exit.

[0032] The utility model provides an integrated driver operating station, fully considering the driver's safety and comfort. It can cope with various weather conditions and provides wind, rain, and sun protection while the driver is waiting. At the same time, the provision of the gravity sensing platform 21 greatly improves the standardization and safety of operation, ensuring that the driver is always outside the operating range of the rail crane, ensuring safe and stable operation.
