[0037] In order to better explain the utility model, so as to facilitate understanding, the utility model is described in detail in combination with the specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0040] First, through multifunctional overhead travelling crane, weighing sensor array, camera and infrared thermometer are integrated, not only realize the accurate monitoring of the weight of hoisting object, can also capture visual information and temperature state of hoisting object in real time in operation site, greatly improve the safety and controllability of hoisting operation.Further, the integration of scanning component, including RFID reader-writer and two-dimensional code scanner, so that the device can efficiently obtain the identity information of hoisting object.

[0041] Meanwhile, the addition of acquisition component, i.e.temperature sensor, humidity sensor and smoke detector, provides comprehensive monitoring for hoisting environment, timely warning potential safety hazard, such as overheating, damp or smoke, to effectively prevent accidents.

[0042] Especially important is the careful design of the pose detection component, which integrates a GPS receiver, a motion sensor, a six-axis attitude sensor, and an accelerometer, achieving high-precision real-time detection of the three-dimensional position and attitude of the hoisting device and the hoisted object, greatly improving the accuracy and stability of the operation.

[0043] Furthermore, the utility model still is provided with embedded processing, thereby overall promotion hoisting device's security, efficiency and durability, perfect satisfaction modern aluminum production to high precision, intelligent and high requirement of reliability.

[0044] Therefore, the hoisting device of the utility model combines the multifunctional crown block, the scanning component, the acquisition component, the pose detection component, and the embedded processor, not only solves the deficiencies of traditional hoisting devices in intelligent monitoring and control, pose detection accuracy, and protection design, but also improves the safety level, operation efficiency, and equipment durability of aluminum production as a whole, and is indispensable intelligent equipment for modern aluminum production.

[0045] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the exemplary embodiments of the utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the utility model are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the utility model can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer and more thorough understanding of the utility model and to convey the complete scope of the utility model to those skilled in the art.

[0046] Among them, the weighing sensor array is a ring array based on pressure sensors or a cross array based on tension sensors, and the sensor array is embedded in the hook or boom of the crown block.

[0047] Specifically, the weighing sensor array is one of the core components in the hoisting device, responsible for real-time monitoring of the weight of the hoisted object. The weighing sensor array is designed as a ring array based on pressure sensors or a cross array based on tension sensors. In the ring array, multiple pressure sensors are evenly distributed in a ring structure, which is tightly embedded in the hook or boom of the crown block. When the hoisted object is lifted, the hook or boom will be subjected to pressure, which will be captured by the sensor array and converted into an electrical signal transmitted to the embedded processor. In the cross array, the tension sensors are arranged in a cross manner and are also embedded in the hook or boom, and the weight of the hoisted object is calculated by measuring the tension in different directions. This design not only ensures the accuracy of weight measurement, but also enables the sensor array to adapt to various hoisting angles and working conditions.

[0048] The camera and infrared thermometer are both installed on the top of the crown block, providing a wider field of view and better monitoring effect. The camera is equipped with a 360-degree rotating base, which means it can capture image information in all directions, providing real-time visual feedback for the operator. This design is important for monitoring the lifting process, ensuring job safety, and timely detection of potential problems. At the same time, the infrared thermometer is used to monitor the temperature of the aluminum liquid in real time. It uses the principle of infrared radiation to measure the temperature value emitted by the surface of the aluminum liquid. This is important for preventing safety accidents caused by high temperature, protecting the load and the crown block equipment.

[0049] Further, optical filters and polarizing plates are provided in front of the lenses of the camera and two-dimensional code scanner. Optical filters are used to filter out interfering light, significantly improving the imaging effect of the camera, ensuring that the operator can clearly see the situation at the work site. Polarizing plates can significantly reduce the impact of these reflected lights on camera imaging or two-dimensional code scanner reading, improving recognition accuracy and speed.

[0050] Further, the temperature sensor uses a platinum resistance or thermocouple sensor, the humidity sensor uses a capacitive or resistive sensor, and the smoke detector uses a photoelectric or ionic sensor. The temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and smoke detector are connected to the embedded processor through a digital interface.

[0051] Further, the pose detection component also includes a gyroscope and a magnetometer. By adding these two sensors, the function of the pose detection component has been significantly enhanced. It can not only monitor the three-dimensional position and attitude of the crown block and the load in real time, but also provide accurate orientation information.

[0052] It should be noted that in the design of the multifunctional crown block, the boom is one of the core components, which undertakes the key task of lifting and moving heavy objects. The boom is designed to be multi-section telescopic or folding, so as to reduce the occupied space when not needed, and quickly expand to the required length when needed, to meet the needs of different working scenarios. The end of the boom is equipped with lifting mechanisms such as hooks, rings, etc., while the rotating bearing of the boom is an important component to realize the flexible rotation and stable support of the boom. The rotating bearing adopts types such as slewing bearing or spherical hinge, and the bearing material is selected from high-strength, high-wear-resistant alloy steel or stainless steel to ensure stable performance in long-term use. The bearing is provided with sealing elements inside to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the bearing, while keeping the lubricating grease inside the bearing from being lost. The bearing is provided with oil injection holes and oil discharge holes outside for regular lubrication and maintenance of the bearing.

[0053] Therefore, in order to improve the stability and safety of the crown block during lifting and moving heavy objects, a shock absorber and a stabilizer are arranged at the end of the hoist arm or at least one rotating bearing on the multifunctional crown block.

[0054] The shock absorber is a device that can absorb and dissipate vibration energy, and types such as spring shock absorbers, hydraulic shock absorbers, or rubber shock absorbers are used. By installing a shock absorber at the end of the hoist arm or the rotating bearing, the vibration and impact caused by the movement of the hoisted object, the movement of the crown block, or external environmental factors (such as wind, earthquakes, etc.) can be significantly reduced. The shock absorber absorbs vibration energy through the deformation of its elastic elements and converts this energy into heat or other forms of energy through the dissipating action of the damping elements, effectively reducing the transmission and amplification of vibrations, protecting the hoisted object from damage, and improving the stability and service life of the crown block.

[0055] The stabilizer is a device used to enhance structural stability, which usually achieves this by increasing the rigidity of the structure or providing additional support points. By arranging a stabilizer at the end of the hoist arm or the rotating bearing, it can effectively prevent the hoisted object from shaking or deviating during transportation due to vibration or external forces. The stabilizer can take various forms, such as adjustable support rods, stabilizing brackets, or balancing blocks, which can ensure that the hoisted object remains stable and steady throughout the transportation process.

[0056] Furthermore, the scanning assembly, the acquisition assembly, and the pose detection assembly are all provided with protective covers or sealed cavities, and the interiors of the protective covers or sealed cavities are filled with thermal insulation materials. The protective covers or sealed cavities are made of corrosion-resistant and impact-resistant materials, and the interiors of these cavities are filled with high-performance thermal insulation materials such as glass fibers, ceramic fibers, or aerogels, which have extremely low thermal conductivity and excellent high-temperature resistance, effectively isolating the influence of external high or low temperatures on the internal components and maintaining the components within the set temperature range.

[0057] At the same time, the embedded processor is arranged in a waterproof and dustproof protective box on the multifunctional crown block, and the waterproof and dustproof protective box is also provided with a cooling fan or cooling fins inside. The shell of the protective box is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal materials (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy) or high-quality plastic materials (such as engineering plastics) to ensure its durability and ability to withstand vibrations and impacts during the operation of the crown block. The box cover and the box body are connected tightly through precise mechanical processing and sealing strips, effectively preventing the intrusion of water, dust, and other impurities.

[0058] In view of the fact that the processor generates a large amount of heat when working, an effective heat dissipation structure, such as a heat dissipation fan, a heat dissipation fin, etc., is designed inside the protection box to ensure that the processor can work within a suitable temperature range. The heat dissipation fan carries away the heat generated by the processor through forced convection, and the heat dissipation fin increases the heat conduction efficiency by increasing the heat dissipation area, and the two work together to ensure that the processor can maintain a stable running state in harsh environments.

[0059] Then, a detachable bearing dust cover is arranged at the rotating bearing of the hoisting arm of the multifunctional crown block, and a plurality of drainage holes and ventilation holes are arranged on the dust cover. In order to drain the accumulated water and impurities, while ensuring the normal heat dissipation of the bearing.

[0060] In addition, a plurality of longitudinal or transverse ribs are arranged inside the hoisting arm of the multifunctional crown block along the length direction of the hoisting arm. These ribs can be arranged longitudinally, transversely, or according to actual needs, arranged in a longitudinal and transverse interlaced manner, to form a more solid internal support structure.

[0061] In addition, the utility model provides a kind of for aluminum production's hoisting system, as shown in figure, Figure 2 As shown, comprising: the hoisting device for aluminum production as described above;General service desk, connected with hoisting device, for receiving and storing the data transmitted by hoisting device;And visual platform, connected with general service desk, for displaying the data transmitted by hoisting device in at least one way.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the suction worker first uses the multifunctional crown block to hoist the aluminum outlet platform bag. At this time, the scanning assembly (including RFID reader and two-dimensional code scanner) arranged on the crown block automatically scans the bag number tag on the aluminum outlet platform bag, and stores the bag number information in the embedded processor.

[0063] The crown block then travels to the predetermined electrolytic cell position, and the scanning assembly scans the cell number of the current electrolytic cell. The embedded processor retrieves the aluminum output plan and the aluminum water grade information in the current electrolytic cell according to the scanned electrolytic cell cell number through internal storage or communication with the company general service desk. These information is then displayed on the display screen of the multifunctional crown block for the suction worker to refer to.

[0064] The suction worker starts the suction operation by pressing the suction aluminum start button on the crown block. The weighing sensor array built in the crown block aluminum outlet system measures the aluminum amount data sucked from the electrolytic cell in real time, and transmits these data to the embedded processor.

[0065] In the aluminum discharging process, the embedded processor packages the key data such as the slot number, the package number, the planned amount, the actual aluminum discharging amount, the flow rate, etc. obtained, and transmits the data to the server of the company general service platform through wireless communication or wired connection. The staff in the company dispatching room can query the state of each overhead crane and each aluminum discharging platform package in real time through the general service platform, including the current position, the aluminum discharging progress, the aluminum water grade and other information. According to the information, the dispatching room can timely dispatch the aluminum water, and ensure the smooth progress of the production process.

[0066] In summary, the hoisting system realizes the automatic and intelligent management in the aluminum discharging operation of aluminum production, improves the production efficiency, reduces the manual intervention, and provides strong support for the digital transformation of the aluminum production industry.
