[0021] Embodiment 1:

[0022] According to the distance between the two tracks on the dam surface and the structure size of the portal crane, the equipment cross working area range is determined, and the three-dimensional space of the portal crane is positioned in a three-coordinate positioning mode.

[0023] The large bidirectional portal crane is set as the main portal crane, when any one of the portal cranes is in the cross working area, the working travel or rotation range of the other portal cranes is limited through coordinates. In order to avoid collision between the portal crane and the equipment during the lifting of the hook, the running space area of the hook is limited through the relative coordinates of the real-time height (Z) direction of the hook detected by the sensor and the equipment; the millimeter wave radar sensors are installed on both sides of the rotary arm of the main portal crane, and the millimeter wave radar sensors are assisted by the calculation of the main machine and the software, which is to actively detect the obstacles entering the detection area, so as to prevent the boom and the hook from colliding with the small bidirectional portal crane.

[0024] The equipment is equipped with position detection, information exchange system, operation processing system and man-machine interaction system; the position sensor is installed on the corresponding equipment.

[0025] Collision avoidance system is constructed:

[0026] 1. Laser anti-collision sensors are installed on the walking area surface of the two small bidirectional portal cranes facing each other on the same track;

[0027] 2. Millimeter wave radar sensors are installed at the highest point of the portal frame on the side of the small bidirectional portal crane close to the main portal crane, and millimeter wave radar sensors are installed on the side of the small bidirectional portal crane trolley room close to the main portal crane;

[0028] 3. Millimeter wave radar sensors are installed on both sides of the rotary arm of the main portal crane;

[0029] 4. The hook height sensor and the rotation sensor are increased to detect the height, horizontal position (X / Y / Z axis space range) of the hook, establish the networking of the equipment, and communicate with each other;

[0030] 5. Millimeter wave radar sensors are installed at important parts of the small bidirectional portal crane and the main portal crane to prevent collision between the equipment and the equipment and large buildings.

[0031] The system needs to limit the operation space of the door machine through three coordinates according to the corresponding spatial coordinate range. The data exchange between devices achieves the anti-collision purpose between each other.

[0032] The millimeter wave radar sensor is used between the door machine (including the main door machine and the small bidirectional door machine) and the object to detect the horizontal distance obstacle. Through data feedback, the horizontal two sides of the arm rod are monitored to prevent collision. The anti-collision relationship is established between the door machines, and the data is exchanged. The operation space of the door machine is limited through three coordinates, so as to avoid collision between the door machines.

[0033] The anti-collision system is achieved by networking between the main door machine and the two small bidirectional door machines, and the data is exchanged between each other. The position of the door machine on the XYZ axis is detected through the corresponding sensor, and the area where the door machine is located and the anti-collision range are displayed in real time through the calculation of the system software. The millimeter wave radar sensor is used to increase the horizontal anti-collision of the device and the large obstacle, which is a direct way without data exchange and fast processing speed. The complementary form is adopted to achieve omnidirectional anti-collision.

[0034] The latest millimeter wave radar sensor is used in this embodiment. It actively detects the obstacle entering the detection area, sends an alarm information to the main control room, so that the operator can take measures to avoid in time, or provides a control signal to directly instruct the lifting equipment. The data is connected through CAN signal, and the data connection is stable. The horizontal distance obstacle is detected through data feedback, the horizontal two sides of the arm rod are detected, and the collision with buildings and other lifting equipment is prevented.

[0035] The millimeter wave radar sensor installed on the rotating arm of the door machine is fixed on the arm through a U-shaped clamp. The sensor is installed on the arm, the data is connected, and the relative distance is set. Then it can be used. The millimeter wave radar sensor has flexible installation position and is suitable for various anti-collision application platforms. According to the application requirements, 12 or more modules can be installed to emit low-power electromagnetic beams around to capture the return signal and calculate the distance, speed and angle of the obstacle. Through the calculation of the host, early warning is achieved to prevent collision.
