[0048] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes an operation management system for bridge crane operations.
[0049] This utility model embodiment provides an operation management system for bridge crane operation management, such as... Figure 1As shown, the operation management system includes: a personnel feature recognition device 101, a bridge crane operation data acquisition device 102, a display device 103, and a control device 104.

[0052] The personnel feature recognition device 101 is installed in the cab of the bridge crane to verify the operator's work authorization and transmit the verification result to the display device 103 and the control device 104.
[0053] The operation data acquisition device 102 is installed on the bridge crane. The operation data acquisition device 102 is used to collect the operation data of the bridge crane and transmit the operation data to the display device 103 and the control device 104.
[0054] Display device 103 is used to display verification results and operation data.
[0055] The control device 104 is used to receive and store verification results and operation data, analyze the operation data, and transmit the analysis results to the display device 103.
[0056] The display device 103 is also used to display the analysis results.
[0057] The system also includes a communication system through which the devices are connected. The communication system includes wired and / or wireless communication. Wired communication includes RS-485, while wireless communication includes WiFi, 5G, 4G, and Bluetooth. Users can configure the specific communication methods used between the devices according to their needs; this application does not impose specific restrictions.
[0058] The operation management system for bridge crane operation management provided by this utility model includes: a personnel feature identification device 101, an operation data acquisition device 102, a display device 103, and a control device 104. The personnel feature identification device 103 verifies the operator's operating authority to prevent unauthorized personnel from operating the bridge crane, and the display device 103 displays the verification results, allowing supervisors to promptly detect potential unauthorized operation of the bridge crane. The acquisition device 102 transmits the collected bridge crane operation data to the display device 103 and the control device 104, enabling supervisors to conveniently and in real-time monitor the bridge crane's operation using the display device 103 installed on the factory floor. The control device 104 analyzes the operation data and transmits the analysis results to the display device 103, allowing supervisors to quickly and accurately obtain the bridge crane's operation status through the display device 103, achieving the goal of real-time, efficient, and accurate operation management of the bridge crane.
[0059] In one specific embodiment, the display device 103 is installed on the ground area of the workshop where the bridge crane is located.
[0060] Specifically, the display device 103 can display verification results, operating data, and alarm information generated by alarms to ground operators in real time. It can synchronize alarm information in the cab to the ground, ensuring that ground operators can obtain abnormal information in a timely and intuitive manner, and avoiding safety hazards caused by operator violations.
[0061] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the display device 103 includes a first display 201 and a first alarm 202.
[0062] The first display 201 is used to display the verification results and running data.
[0063] The first alarm device 202 is used for audible and visual alarms.
[0064] The first alarm device 202 includes an audible and visual alarm.
[0065] In one specific embodiment, the first display 201 includes a liquid crystal display (LCD).
[0066] Specifically, the operating data displayed on the first display 201 is based on the operating data preset by the user, that is, the key operating parameters of the bridge crane are displayed, such as the trolley travel speed, the gantry travel speed, the hook load, the sling tilt angle and the motor temperature.
[0067] Specifically, the control device 104 analyzes the operating data including:
[0068] For each key operating parameter, a corresponding threshold is set. The control device 104 compares the real-time value of each key operating parameter with its corresponding threshold. If the real-time value exceeds the threshold, an analysis result indicating parameter abnormality is generated, and an alarm message indicating parameter abnormality is generated based on the analysis result. The key operating parameters are transmitted to the first display 201, along with the analysis result indicating parameter abnormality. Based on the analysis result, the first display 201 causes the corresponding abnormal parameter to enter a fluctuating state.
[0069] Furthermore, alarm information indicating abnormal parameters is transmitted to the first alarm device 202, which simultaneously issues an audible and visual alarm to alert ground personnel to the abnormal situation. This allows for timely adjustments to the bridge crane control strategy based on the abnormal situation.
[0070] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the display device 103 also includes an emergency stop button 301.
[0071] Emergency stop button 301 is used to control the start and stop of the bridge crane.
[0072] Specifically, in an emergency, ground staff can use the emergency stop button 202 to stop the bridge crane from operating, ensuring operational safety.
[0073] In one specific embodiment, the personnel feature recognition device is communicatively connected to the control panel inside the driver's cab.
[0074] Personnel identification device, used to activate or deactivate the control panel.
[0075] In one specific embodiment, the personnel feature recognition device includes any one or both of a fingerprint recognition component and a face recognition component.
[0076] The fingerprint recognition component, or fingerprint module, is the core component of the fingerprint lock, used to collect and recognize fingerprints. The fingerprint module mainly consists of a fingerprint acquisition module and a fingerprint recognition module.
[0077] Fingerprint recognition components have many applications, such as smart door locks in smart home scenarios and fingerprint unlocking of smartphones in consumer electronics scenarios.
[0078] The face recognition component is a module used to collect and recognize faces, and it mainly consists of a face collection module and a face recognition module.
[0079] Among them, facial recognition components can also be applied to smart door locks in smart home scenarios, fingerprint unlocking of smartphones in consumer electronics scenarios, and so on.
[0080] In one specific embodiment, the fingerprint recognition component includes: an optical sensor, an image processor, and a second display.
[0081] The optical sensor and image processor are connected in communication, and the image processor and the second display are connected in communication.
[0082] Optical sensors include: a glass plane.
[0083] An optical sensor is used to allow an operator to press their finger against a glass surface to capture a fingerprint image and transmit the fingerprint image to an image processor.
[0084] An image processor is used to verify the operation permissions of fingerprint images and transmit the verification results to a second display.
[0085] The second display is used to show the verification results.
[0086] Specifically, the fingerprint recognition component is used to verify the operator's work permissions and prevent unauthorized personnel from operating the bridge crane.
[0087] The verification results include: verification passed and verification failed. Verification passed indicates that the user has the authority to operate the bridge crane, while verification failed indicates that the user does not have the authority to operate the bridge crane.
[0088] Specifically, if the verification result is a verification failure, the control device 104 generates an alarm message indicating the verification failure and sends the alarm message to the display device 103. The display device 103 displays the alarm message indicating the verification failure and issues an audible and visual alarm.
[0089] Specifically, if the verification result is a verification failure, the second display shows information indicating the verification failure. If the verification result is a verification success, the second display shows information indicating the verification success.
[0090] In one specific embodiment, the fingerprint recognition component further includes a second alarm.
[0091] The image processor and the second alarm are connected in communication.
[0092] The image processor is also used to transmit the verification results to the second alarm.
[0093] The second alarm is used to sound an alarm.
[0094] Specifically, if the verification result is a verification failure, the image processor also generates alarm information to characterize the verification failure and transmits the alarm information to the second alarm to enable the second alarm to trigger an audible and visual alarm.
[0095] In one specific embodiment, the fingerprint recognition component further includes a memory.
[0096] A memory is used to store fingerprint images of operators with authority to operate the bridge crane.
[0097] Specifically, the image processor performs image processing on the fingerprint image and compares it with the fingerprint images already stored in the memory. If a match can be found in the stored fingerprint images, the verification is successful; otherwise, the verification fails.
[0098] The image processing specifically includes: performing noise reduction, contrast enhancement, and blur region repair on the fingerprint image; extracting fingerprint feature points (such as ridge bifurcation and endpoints); generating a fingerprint feature template; and comparing this template with the fingerprint image already stored in the memory. If the similarity of the comparison result is greater than a preset similarity, the match is successful; otherwise, the match fails.
[0099] Of course, the matching results also need to be sent to the control device 104.
[0100] Furthermore, after successful verification, the control device 104 activates the operator panel inside the cab, enabling the operator to control the bridge crane. The control device 104 is communicatively connected to the operator panel. Specifically, the control device 104 generates an activation command and sends it to the operation control unit of the operator panel to activate the operator panel.
[0101] Specifically, the control device 104 is the centralized control center of the bridge crane, such as a desktop computer, which supports centralized remote monitoring and control of one or more bridge cranes, realizing unified management and safety supervision of bridge cranes throughout the plant.
[0102] Specifically, after the operator of the bridge crane enters the cab, personnel identification is first performed. The operator's fingerprint is identified by the optical sensor in the personnel feature recognition device 101. The personnel feature recognition device 101 compares the collected fingerprint features with the fingerprint information of authorized personnel stored in the memory through an image processor. If the operator has operating authority, "Verification successful" is displayed on the second display, and the control panel is activated, granting the operator the necessary permissions. If the operator's fingerprint recognition fails, "Verification failed" is displayed on the second display, the control panel is shut down, and an alarm is sent to the display device 103 and the control device 104 to alert ground personnel and the operator of the control device 104 to the unauthorized personnel attempting to operate the crane.
[0103] When an authorized operator is working normally, the operation data acquisition device 102 installed on the crane will transmit the preset key operation parameters collected by the sensors on the crane to the display device 103 and the control device 104 through the communication system.
[0104] Key operating parameters include: hook weight, angle, speed, limit switch status, and motor current.
[0105] Specifically, during normal operation, the LCD digital display shows key operating data of the crane so that ground personnel can intuitively and conveniently understand the crane's working status. When the crane's operating data exceeds the corresponding normal range, such as when the load is overloaded or the sling tilt angle is too large, the audible and visual alarm of the display device 103 will activate to alert ground personnel to the abnormal situation. In case of emergency, ground personnel can stop the crane's operation using the emergency stop button to ensure the safety of crane operations.
[0106] During the above process, the crane's operating data is also simultaneously displayed on the control device via the communication system. The crane's working status is known not only to ground operators but also to personnel controlling it remotely, overcoming the drawback of traditional bridge cranes where the operating parameters are only known to the operator and avoiding situations where operators force themselves to operate illegally without supervision.
[0107] Centralized remote control devices (control devices) can simultaneously monitor multiple lifting equipment within the plant area and record the operating parameters of each lifting equipment, thereby improving the efficiency of bridge crane management.
[0108] In one specific embodiment, the control device 104 is installed in the driver's cab. Specifically, via... Figure 4 The overall structure of the job management system is illustrated below. Figure 4 In this designation, 401 represents the crane, and 402 represents the operator's cab (which includes a personnel identification device). This invention utilizes a fingerprint recognition component to identify whether the crane operator has the necessary operating permissions, preventing unauthorized personnel from operating the crane. When the operator has the required permissions, those permissions are granted. Furthermore, the system collects the operator's usage records and the crane's operational data using the operational data acquisition device 102. An alarm is triggered when the operator lacks the required permissions.
[0109] Display device 103 receives signals from the transmission system and displays key operating data, such as hook load, hook speed, trolley / crane speed, and motor temperature. Specifically, the device is equipped with an audible and visual alarm, which can simultaneously display alarm information originally only shown in the crane cab onto display device 103. Display device 103 is installed in an easily observable location within the workshop where the bridge crane is located, allowing information / alarms originally only shown to the operator to be simultaneously displayed on the ground. This facilitates ground personnel's understanding of the crane's status and access to alarm information, preventing the possibility of unsupervised, forced violations by traditional bridge crane operators and enabling real-time monitoring of crane operators.
[0110] The control device 104 can receive and store the operation / alarm information of one or more bridge cranes, realize the collection of operation information of the whole plant or a single crane during the operation cycle, and provide convenience for the comprehensive management of cranes.
[0111] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
