[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] like Figs. 1 to 5 As shown, the safety system of the port gantry crane includes a human-machine interface assembly 4, a track distance meter 6, a control center electrical box 8, a tilt sensor 7, a rotation angle sampler 5 and a wireless communication module 2. The human-machine interface assembly 4 and the control center electrical box 8 are installed in the cab of the crane 1. There are two tilt sensors 7, which are installed on the large and small booms of the crane 1. The rotation angle sampler 5 is installed on the flange on one side of the slewing gear of the crane 1. The sampling gear in the rotation angle sampler 5 is engaged with the slewing gear. The track distance meter 6 is installed on one side of the crane 1 trolley. The measuring wheel in the track distance meter 6 is in contact with the lifting wheel of the crane 1 trolley. The wireless communication module 2 is installed on the top of the crane 1. The tilt sensor 7, the rotation angle sampler and the track distance meter 6 are respectively connected to the control center electrical box 8 through wires. The control center electrical box 8 is connected to the human-machine interface assembly 4, the wireless communication module 2 and the gantry crane monitoring system through wires.
[0025] The control center electrical box 8 uses HJFZ-FZZJ, AC220V, 8 groups of RS485 communication interface electrical box; the guide rail distance meter uses HJFZ-FZZJ, repeatability ±5%, DC24V, RS485 communication interface, MODBUS communication protocol; the rotation angle sampler 5 uses HJFZ-HZQY, RS485 communication interface, MODBUS communication protocol; the inclination sensor 7 uses HJFZ-QJCG, 0.1° maximum accuracy, 0.01° resolution, ±180° range, RS485 communication interface, MODBUS communication protocol; the human-machine interface assembly 4 uses HJFZ-RJJM, 7 inches, 16.77 million color LCD display, four-wire resistive touch screen, RS485 communication interface.
[0026] The human-machine interface assembly 4 is used for distance display and anti-collision pre-alarm; the track distance meter 6 is used to accurately measure the distance between the trolleys; the control center electrical box 8 is the core processing unit of the system; the inclination sensor 7 is used to detect the inclination angle of the crane 1 boom; the rotation angle sampler 5 is responsible for data feedback and positioning; the wireless communication module 2 is used to provide wireless communication capabilities between the equipment of each crane 1.
[0027] In addition, since the guide rail range finder is mounted on the walking mechanism of the crane 1, when it is connected with the control center electric box 8 in the cab by wire, four terminals of the center slip ring need to be connected.
[0028] The inclination sensor 7 and the rotation angle sampler 5 transmit the measured arm angle signal and rotation angle signal to the control center through the RS-485 bus, and exchange information with the control center.
[0029] The instrument main machine reads the data of the peripheral devices, calculates the left and right vehicle distance and the left and right arm distance, and displays them on the screen. At the same time, according to the set rated working / protective parameters, real-time monitoring and protection are carried out, and when in an unsafe operating state or meeting the control action conditions, corresponding sound warning pre-warning, alarm and action protection and switch action are given to cut off the lifting and corresponding dangerous operation, so as to achieve the effect of safety protection.
[0030] The wireless communication module 2 is responsible for communication between the two adjacent cranes, obtains the state of the adjacent crane, and sends its own state to the adjacent crane. Through the operation of these data, the shoulder distance of the two cranes is judged.
[0031] The wireless communication module 2 is connected with at least two omnidirectional antennas, and the horizontal distance between the two omnidirectional antennas is 5-10 meters. In the construction of the port, it is often necessary to lay cables in a large area, and the environment layout is complex, the operation area does not allow to erect a line, and other situations interfere with the realization of the background monitoring, therefore, it is very practical and effective to use the wireless network transmission system to build the underlying communication platform.
[0032] In addition, since the crane center slip ring rotates 360 degrees above the position, considering the blocking situation, we will use two omnidirectional antennas, one left and one right, installed with a horizontal distance of 5-10 meters, which can ensure that the crane always has one antenna in communication with the receiving end during the 360-degree rotation, and can guarantee the capacity communication of the wireless link. Considering the transformation of electromagnetic waves in the process of mobile communication and the excessive complex structure of steel, the 5.8GHz 866M device series is selected to adopt point-to-point transmission mode to realize wireless transmission of the video monitoring system.
[0033] The wireless transmitting base station and the antenna connected with the wireless communication module 2 are installed on the top rail of the machine room, and the horizontal distance between the two omnidirectional antennas is 10 meters apart to ensure that there is always an antenna in communication during the rotation of the crane 1. The receiving base station and the antenna are installed on the nearby lamp pole, and then transmitted to the terminal control room through the optical fiber under the lamp pole.
[0034] Also included are a plurality of cameras 3 respectively arranged on the elephant trunk, the cab, each door leg, the cable reel, the machine room and the electrical room of the crane 1, each camera 3 is connected with the crane 1 collector through a video connector, the crane 1 collector is connected with a monitor arranged in the cab, the switch in the collector is connected with the central control building top receiving base station through the wireless communication module 2, the central control building top receiving base station is connected with the machine room through a cable. The camera 3 arranged on the elephant trunk is provided with a cloud platform. The camera 3 arranged on the elephant trunk of the crane is used for monitoring the spreaders and the working conditions in the cabin; the camera 3 arranged in the cab is used for monitoring the working conditions of the driver; the camera 3 arranged on each door leg is used for monitoring the conditions on the track when the trolley is running; the camera 3 arranged on the cable reel is used for monitoring the working conditions of the cable reel; and the cameras 3 arranged on the machine room and the electrical room are used for monitoring the conditions in the machine room and the electrical room.
[0035] The content described in the embodiments of the present specification is only a list of implementation forms of the utility model concept, and the protection scope of the utility model should not be regarded as being limited to the specific forms stated in the embodiments, and the protection scope of the utility model also extends to the equivalent technical means that can be thought of by those skilled in the art according to the utility model concept.
