[0001] This application belongs to the field of safety protection facilities technology, and specifically relates to a safety protection device for maintenance operations of automated yard rail cranes. Background Technology

[0002] An automated container terminal is a terminal that uses advanced automation technology and equipment to achieve a high degree of automation and intelligence in container loading, unloading, storage, and transportation.

[0003] In automated container terminals, rail-mounted gantry cranes and IGVs work together to stack and transfer containers. In container terminals, IGV stands for Intelligent Guided Vehicle, which is a key piece of equipment for automating horizontal transport.

[0004] When equipment malfunctions and requires on-site repair, IGVs must be prohibited from entering the repair area;

[0005] Existing technologies mainly rely on temporary facilities such as traffic cones and median strips, but they have the following drawbacks: they lack active warning functions, rely on manual supervision, and are difficult to adapt to emergency maintenance scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a safety protection device for automated yard rail-mounted crane maintenance operations, so as to at least solve the technical problems of related safety protection devices lacking active warning functions, relying on manual supervision, and being difficult to adapt to sudden maintenance scenarios.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a safety protection device for maintenance operations of automated yard rail-mounted cranes;

[0008] The safety protection device includes:

[0009] The protective frame base has vertically arranged support rods connected to one side, and the top of each support rod is fixedly connected to the protective crossbeam; a light frame is supported on the protective crossbeam, and a solar warning light is installed on the top of the light frame.

[0010] The control system module, pressure sensor module, and integrated radar module are all electrically connected to the control system module. The control system module is used to receive pressure data monitored by the pressure sensor module and also to receive radar monitoring data from the integrated radar module. The radar monitoring data is used to characterize whether there is an IGV intrusion in the protected area. The pressure sensor module is built into the base of the protective frame, and the integrated radar module is integrated into the solar warning light.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a signboard, which is installed on at least one support column and displays identification information to serve as a reminder.

[0013] The surface of the sign has a reflective layer to reflect light at night.

[0014] Preferably, the upper surface of the protective frame base is a ramp structure, and the ramp structure design ensures that the IGV wheel decelerates after contact.

[0015] Preferably, the top end of the support vertical rod on the edge side is connected to the top end of the support diagonal rod, and the bottom end of the support diagonal rod is connected to the base of the protective frame. The support diagonal rod is provided to ensure the stability of the connection between the support vertical rod and the base of the protective frame.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom end of the supporting vertical rod is hinged to the base of the protective frame, and the top end of the supporting diagonal rod is detachably fixed to the supporting vertical rod by bolt connection. The bottom end of the supporting diagonal rod is also detachably fixed to the base of the protective frame by bolt connection. Therefore, after the supporting diagonal rod is removed, the supporting vertical rod and the base of the protective frame can be folded together for easy storage.

[0017] Preferably, the pressure sensor module consists of multiple pressure sensors arranged in an array to monitor the force at various points on the protective frame base, thereby detecting whether there are wheels on the protective frame base.

[0018] Preferably, the control system module is also electrically connected to the solar warning light, and the control system module is also electrically connected to the warning terminal via a wireless communication module;

[0019] The control system module is used to generate warning commands when receiving pressure data or radar monitoring data, control the solar warning lights to start based on the warning commands, and send the warning commands to the warning terminal.

[0020] Preferably, the warning terminal is an electronic device with a display screen, such as a smartphone or desktop computer, etc., without any specific limitation.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the safety protection device for automated yard rail-mounted gantry crane maintenance operations in this disclosure embodiment can combine physical barriers and active warning linkage to achieve dual protection of the maintenance area. The physical barrier is manifested in the combined use of support poles, signs and solar warning lights; the active warning linkage is reflected in the pressure sensor module and integrated radar module to realize real-time monitoring of IGVs that intrude into the protected area.
