[0002] The cluster tower crane collision avoidance visualization is an intelligent safety system that integrates sensor networks, real-time data fusion, and dynamic display technologies. It is designed specifically for collaborative operation environments of multiple tower cranes on construction sites. Its core objective is to predict collision risks by monitoring the positional relationships, motion status, and environmental parameters of the tower group in real time, and to intuitively display potential hazards to tower crane operators and managers through a graphical interface, thereby achieving proactive early warning and automatic intervention, and significantly reducing the incidence of collision accidents. In existing tower crane operation visualization devices, most of the monitoring units are directly installed at various locations on the tower crane, providing only basic protection for the equipment. Long-term use will cause damage to the equipment. The varying distances between the devices make it difficult to ensure synchronous data transmission, leading to information delays and increasing the risk of collisions. Utility Model Content

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] See Figures 1-4 As shown, a tower crane frame 2 is provided on the upper part of the tower crane foundation section 1, a lifting boom 3 is provided on the top of the tower crane foundation section 1, and an operator's cab 4 is provided above the tower crane frame 2. This utility model provides a visual anti-collision device for multi-tower operation, including an anti-collision mechanism 5 provided above the tower crane operator's cab. The anti-collision mechanism 5 is provided with a distance detection placement mechanism 6, a trajectory detection mechanism 7, and two clamping mechanisms 8. The anti-collision mechanism 5 is provided above the operator's cab 4. The distance detection placement mechanism 6 and the trajectory detection mechanism 7 are both connected to one of the clamping mechanisms 8, and the two clamping mechanisms 8 are interconnected. Using the above technical solution, the tower crane base section 1 supports the tower crane frame and boom 3, the tower crane frame 2 supports the operator's cab 4 and other equipment such as the electrical distribution box, the boom 3 is used for tower crane operations, and the operator's cab 4 supports the anti-collision mechanism 5. At the same time, the anti-collision mechanism 5 and the operator's cab 4 are close to each other, which makes it easier to monitor the height, swing amplitude and swing angle. The distance detection placement mechanism 6 and the trajectory detection placement mechanism monitor the height and swing angle respectively. The two clamping mechanisms 8 monitor other requirements besides distance and swing angle. The two clamping mechanisms 8 are easy to clamp the equipment, which makes it convenient for the staff to monitor according to different types of operations and transmit the data to the operator's cab 4 of each tower crane. Finally, the data is collected from the operator's cab 4 and sent to the control room. Data transmission can be achieved by existing direct technology.

[0019] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the anti-collision mechanism 5 includes an anti-collision shell 501, a cover plate 502, and a plurality of first transmission pipes 508. The anti-collision shell 501 is connected to an energy-absorbing layer 503. The anti-collision shell 501 and the energy-absorbing layer 503 have through holes 504 and placement slots 505. A rotation sensor 507 is provided in the through hole 504, and a rangefinder 506 is connected in the placement slot 505. The through hole 504 and the placement slot 505 in the anti-collision mechanism 5 face outward. During use, the internal structure is protected and supported by the anti-collision shell 501 and the energy-absorbing layer 503. The internal structure of the anti-collision shell 501 and the energy-absorbing layer 503 is sealed by the cover plate 502. The two clamping mechanisms 8, the distance detection placement mechanism 6 and the trajectory detection mechanism 7 are connected in series through the first transmission pipe 508. At the same time, the monitored data is transmitted to the cab 4 through one of the clamping mechanisms 8, which directly monitors the individual cab 4 and the tower crane, improving data accuracy. The monitored data is transmitted to the control room through the cab 4. Finally, the control room commands the cab 4 to avoid collisions. All of the above data transmission can be achieved by existing technology. The rotation sensor 507 and the rangefinder 506 are supported by the through hole 504 and the placement slot 505, respectively, to monitor the rotation angle and height of the boom 3.

[0020] See Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the distance detection placement mechanism 6 includes a first placement frame 601, which is connected to a transmission cable 602 and has a placement box 603. The trajectory detection mechanism 7 includes a second placement frame 701, which is connected to a second transmission pipe 702. The second placement frame 701 has two support seats 703, each of which has a sleeve 704. Multiple sleeves 704 are connected to telescopic rods 706, multiple telescopic rods 706 are provided with support plates 707, multiple support plates 707 are provided with clamping rings 708, and telescopic springs 705 are provided between the multiple support seats 703 and the multiple support plates 707.

[0021] Using the above embodiment, the monitoring device is placed inside the placement box 603 on the inner side of the first placement frame 601 to collect and transmit data from the rangefinder 506. This device can use an existing GPS receiver, which is convenient for industrial surveying. The rangefinder 506 and the GPS receiver are connected through the transmission cable 602. The rotary sensor 507 and its matching data transmitter are connected through the second transmission pipe 702 in the second placement frame 701. RS485 is commonly used, but it can also be replaced as needed. During the replacement process, the operator directly pushes the clamping rings 708 on both sides to the sides. Through the support plate 707 and the telescopic spring 705, the telescopic rod 706 retracts into the sleeve 704. At this time, the transmission device to be placed can be installed. Then, the clamping rings 708 on both sides are released. Through the characteristics of the telescopic spring 705 itself, the clamping rings 708 are pushed inward to clamp and fix the transmission device, and the second transmission pipe 702 is connected to collect and transmit data.

[0022] See Figure 3 As shown, both clamping mechanisms 8 include a third placement frame 801, the third placement frame 801 is provided with two bolts 802, the two bolts 802 are provided with nuts 803, the two bolts 802 are connected to rotating sleeves 804, the two rotating sleeves 804 are connected to clamping plates 805, and the inner walls of the two third placement frames 801 are provided with grooves.

[0023] In use, the two clamping mechanisms 8 have identical internal structures and are interconnected through one of the multiple first transmission channels 508 to facilitate data transmission. One of the two bolts 802 rotates on the inner wall of the third placement frame 801. There is a selector sleeve between the bolt 802 and the clamping plate 805 so that the bolt 802 will not rotate with the clamping plate 805 during the rotation displacement, thereby shortening the distance between the two clamping plates 805 for clamping. The groove opened in the third placement frame 801 is used for the clamping plate 805 to move and limit the clamping plate 805.

[0024] Using the above structure, when using this product, the distance transmitter and the rotary transmitter are first placed inside the placement box 603 of the first placement frame 601 of the distance detection placement mechanism 6. Then, the rangefinder 506 and the distance transmitter are connected through the transmission cable 602, and the data of the rangefinder 506 is recorded and transmitted. At the same time, the rotary transmitter is placed inside the multiple clamping rings 708 in the trajectory detection mechanism 7. The operator pushes the clamping rings 708 to both sides, and the sleeve 704 and the telescopic rod 706 are retracted by the telescopic spring 705, clamping the rotary transmitter between them. At the same time, the data is transmitted through the second transmission pipe 702. The distance between the clamping plates 805 in the two clamping mechanisms 8 is adjusted by the bolts 802 to install different equipment, so as to facilitate the installation of different equipment in different tower groups. A data bundle transmitter is installed on one of the two clamping mechanisms 8 to transmit information to the cab 4 and the control center, so that the operator can directly control the operation of the tower group and avoid collisions between the tower groups.

[0025] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
