Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent tower crane operator attendance system, and more specifically, to an intelligent tower crane operator attendance system that can effectively prevent maintenance personnel from being absent from their posts. Background Technology

[0002] Tower cranes, also known as tower hoists, are widely used in modern construction. The work efficiency of tower crane operators directly affects the project's progress, and their punctuality is a prerequisite for the normal operation of the tower crane. In actual tower crane management, attendance is usually recorded using time clocks or fingerprint verification. However, sometimes substitute clocking in / out occurs, leading to discrepancies between attendance records and actual work. Furthermore, for tower crane operators on rotating shifts, if substitutes are used, hoisting efficiency will decrease due to prolonged continuous work by the operator, potentially causing serious safety accidents. An attendance management system that records tower crane operators' work on the crane would effectively prevent operator absences and unreasonable substitute work. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an intelligent tower crane operator attendance system.

[0004] The present invention relates to an intelligent tower crane worker attendance system, comprising an attendance machine (1) and a system management platform (2). The attendance machine is located at the top of the tower crane (5), and the system management platform is composed of a computer. The system is characterized in that: a camera (3) is provided at the bottom of the tower crane to take pictures of people who are about to climb the ladder (7), a footboard (4) is provided on the ground at the bottom of the tower crane, and a contact switch (8) is provided at the bottom of the footboard. The contact switch is connected to the control terminal of the camera. The system management platform is connected to a second wireless communication module (10), and the attendance machine and the camera are respectively connected to a third wireless communication module (11) and a first wireless communication module (9) that communicate with the system management platform.

[0005] The present invention relates to an intelligent tower crane staff attendance system, wherein the attendance machine (1) is a card swiping, fingerprint or facial recognition attendance system.

[0006] The present invention relates to an intelligent tower crane operator attendance system, wherein the tower crane (5) is provided with a cab (6) at the top and the attendance machine is located inside or outside the cab.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The intelligent tower crane operator attendance system of this utility model allows both the attendance machine and the camera to communicate with the system management platform, enabling the uploading of operator images captured by the camera to the system management platform, as well as the uploading of attendance records obtained by the attendance machine to the system management platform; by setting a footboard at the lower end of the tower crane, and a contact switch connected to the camera below the footboard, when the tower crane operator steps on the footboard to climb the tower crane, the camera will be triggered to take a picture, so as to record the images of tower crane operators and other personnel. This solves the existing problems of tower crane operator absenteeism and unreasonable substitute work, and has significant beneficial effects, making it suitable for application and promotion.

[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0012] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the intelligent tower crane worker attendance system of this utility model. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the intelligent tower crane worker attendance system of this utility model is provided. It consists of an attendance machine 1, a system management platform 2, a camera 3, a foot pedal 4, and a contact switch 8. A cab 6 is located at the top of the tower crane 5. The attendance machine 1 is located inside or outside the cab 6. The attendance machine 1 can use card swiping, fingerprint recognition, or facial recognition for attendance. The system management platform 2 is composed of a computer, which is used to run the corresponding management system and store relevant data.

[0013] The camera 3 shown is installed at the lower end of the tower crane 5 to photograph and record workers about to climb the tower crane 5. A footboard 4 is installed on the ground at the lower end of the tower crane 5. Tower crane operators must step on footboard 4 to climb the ladder 7. A contact switch 8 is installed below footboard 4, and the contact switch 8 is connected to the control terminal of the camera 3. When someone steps on footboard 4, it changes the state of the contact switch 8 below footboard 4, thereby triggering the camera 3 to take a picture of the person.

[0014] The camera 3, system management platform 2, and attendance machine 1 are respectively equipped with a first wireless communication module 9, a second wireless communication module 10, and a third wireless communication module 11 to realize wireless communication between the camera 3, the attendance machine 1, and the system management platform 2.
