[0002] General cargo is typically characterized by a wide variety of goods and complex operational processes, and its packaging includes both whole and individual items. Therefore, when sorting general cargo, it is usually necessary for tally clerks to manually count and record data using paper documents at the dockside. As a result, tally clerks can only perform sorting operations manually at the dockside, which is inefficient.
[0003] The use of manual labor for sorting operations in existing technologies is not only inefficient, but also results in poor timeliness of data feedback, making it impossible to grasp data dynamically in real time, and it is also difficult to trace operation records, leading to low management accuracy.
[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address the problems of low efficiency and low management accuracy caused by manual sorting of miscellaneous goods in existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a door machine system for visual sorting of general merchandise, so as to at least solve the problems of low efficiency and low management accuracy caused by manual sorting of general merchandise in the prior art.

[0037] The following describes the technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0038] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a gantry crane system for visual sorting of general merchandise, including a gantry crane body 10. The gantry crane body 10 includes a first working platform 11, a second working platform 12 and a third working platform 13 with a transfer boom 14 arranged sequentially from bottom to top.
[0039] The second work platform 12 is installed on the first work platform 11, and the third work platform 13 is installed on the second work platform 12.
[0040] The first operating platform 11, the second operating platform 12, and the third operating platform 13 are basically the same as the operating platform structure in the existing gantry crane, and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] The third working platform 13 is equipped with a rotating working platform, a driver's cab, and a transfer boom 14. The rotating working platform is used to rotate on the third working platform 13 and drive the transfer boom 14 to rotate. The driver's cab is used for the driver to enter and control the transfer boom 14 and the rotating working platform.
[0042] The transfer boom 14 can extend or retract in the direction away from or towards the third working platform 13 under the control of the operator.
[0043] Furthermore, the gantry crane system also includes a first camera unit 20, a second camera unit 30, a third camera unit 40, and a communication unit 50. The first camera unit 20 is installed at a relatively high position in the middle of the transfer boom 14 to acquire images of the goods below the transfer boom 14; the second camera unit 30 is located at the end of the transfer boom 14 furthest from the third working platform 13 to acquire images of the goods to be grabbed; the third camera unit 40 is located on the second working platform 12 to acquire images of the goods on both sides of the second working platform 12; the communication unit 50 is located on the gantry crane body 10 and is communicatively connected to the first camera unit 20, the second camera unit 30, and the third camera unit 40, respectively, to acquire the images of the goods acquired by the first camera unit 20, the second camera unit 30, and the third camera unit 40, and to send the images of the goods to the user terminal.
[0044] The first camera unit 20 is used to acquire image information of the goods below the transfer boom 14, such as image information of general cargo, box number information, seal information, or damage information.
[0045] The second camera unit 30 is used to acquire image information of the goods to be grabbed, so that the image information is sent to the communication unit 50 before the crane transfers the goods, thereby sending the goods transfer information to the user terminal, realizing real-time goods transfer data, and also facilitating subsequent operation record traceability and improving management accuracy.
[0046] The third camera unit 40 can acquire images of goods on both sides of the second operating platform 12, allowing workers to understand the goods around the gantry crane system from multiple perspectives, and making it convenient for workers to record data information for remote visual cargo handling.
[0047] The third camera unit 40 can also acquire video information of the goods for staff to review and understand the condition of the goods.
[0048] The first camera unit 20 includes at least one suspended PTZ camera.
[0049] The second camera unit 30 includes at least one PTZ camera.
[0050] The third camera unit 40 includes multiple cameras, which are respectively set on both sides of the second working platform 12 to obtain as much cargo image information as possible from both sides of the second working platform 12.
[0051] For example, the third camera unit 40 includes at least two cameras with the same number of pixels, and the two cameras are positioned on both sides of the second working platform 12.
[0052] When the gantry crane system is placed next to the dock, the third camera unit 40 can acquire cargo image information from both the seaside and landside sides.
[0053] The communication unit 50 is used to send cargo image information to the user terminal, so that staff can remotely and visually sort the cargo through the cargo image information received by the user terminal, which solves the problems of low efficiency and inability to transmit data back in a timely manner that require manual on-site sorting in the existing technology.
[0054] Furthermore, the installation height of the first camera unit 20 is higher than that of the second camera unit 30, so that the field of view of the first camera unit 20 is greater than that of the second camera unit 30. This allows the staff to adjust the posture of the boom tail through the field of view of the first camera unit 20, and to grab and transfer the goods to be transferred through the second camera unit 30 at the boom tail.
[0055] Specifically, the first camera unit 20 can be installed at the top of the boom of the crane to maximize the installation height of the first camera unit 20 and increase its field of view.
[0056] In some embodiments, the bottom of the first working platform 11 is provided with rollers, and the rollers cooperate with the paved track, so that the gantry crane system can move along the paved track to increase the range of goods transported by the gantry crane system.
[0057] In some embodiments, the rollers at the bottom of the first working platform 11 can be controlled by a motor, thereby enabling the movement of the gantry system.
[0058] In some embodiments, the motor is connected to the communication unit 50, so that staff can control the motor to open or close via a user terminal and the communication unit 50, thereby enabling remote control of the gantry crane system to move along the paved track.
[0059] Furthermore, the communication unit 50 is a wireless communication unit 50, such as a 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi module, a 2G communication module, a 3G communication module, a 4G communication module, a 5G communication module, etc.
[0060] In some embodiments, the communication unit 50 includes a transmission module 51 and a receiving module 52. The transmission module 51 is communicatively connected to the first camera unit 20, the second camera unit 30, and the third camera unit 40, respectively; the receiving module 52 is connected to the transmission module 51 and sends the acquired cargo image information to the user terminal.
[0061] The transmission module 51 includes at least one switch.
[0062] In this specification, the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to mutually. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments. In particular, for the product embodiments described later, since they correspond to the methods, the descriptions are relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions in the system embodiments.
[0063] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
