[0052] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to explain and illustrate the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0053] As shown in Fig. 1, in the first aspect of the preferred embodiment, a tower dispatching method is provided, which is applied to a server, and the method comprises:

[0054] S100, in response to a delivery request of a target delivery remote control device and a delivery request of a target delivery remote control device, obtaining a target delivery point position of the target delivery remote control device and a target delivery point position of the target delivery remote control device;

[0055] S200, based on the target delivery point position, the target delivery point position, and the positions of all hoisting devices in the hoisting device group, determining hoisting devices covering the target delivery point position and the target delivery point position as to-be-dispatched hoisting devices;

[0056] S300, in the case where the to-be-dispatched hoisting devices are multiple, determining a target hoisting device according to the positional relationship between each to-be-dispatched hoisting device and the target delivery point position and / or the target delivery point position.

[0057] Thus, the application realizes intelligent tower dispatching control of each tower crane in the group tower operation scene, and effectively improves the operation efficiency and hoisting safety of unmanned tower cranes in the group tower operation scene, by determining the hoisting equipment to be dispatched as the hoisting equipment covering the delivery point position and the receiving point position in the hoisting range after receiving the delivery request and the receiving request of the delivery remote control device and the receiving remote control device, and determining the target hoisting equipment according to the positional relationship between each hoisting equipment to be dispatched and the delivery point position and / or the receiving point position when there are multiple hoisting equipments to be dispatched.

[0058] It can be understood that before step S100, the application also determines the target delivery remote control device and the target receiving remote control device. Specifically, the determination steps of the target delivery remote control device and the target receiving remote control device include: receiving a delivery request of at least one delivery remote control device and a receiving request of at least one receiving remote control device. It can be understood that in the group tower operation scene, there can be multiple delivery requests and multiple receiving requests at the same time. The delivery end staff can send a delivery request to the server through the delivery remote control device, and the receiving end staff can send a receiving request to the server through the receiving remote control device. In the case where the delivery remote control device and the receiving remote control device are both single based on the received delivery request and receiving request, for example, when there is only one delivery request and one receiving request, the current delivery remote control device can be directly determined as the target delivery remote control device, and the current receiving remote control device can be directly determined as the target receiving remote control device. In the case where the receiving remote control device is single and the delivery remote control device is multiple based on the received delivery request and receiving request, for example, when there are multiple delivery requests but only one receiving request at the same time, the server obtains the request time of receiving the delivery request of each delivery remote control device, and determines the delivery remote control device with the earliest request time as the target delivery remote control device, and determines the current receiving remote control device as the target receiving remote control device. For example, when the server receives delivery request 1 and delivery request 2 from different delivery remote control devices and receiving request from the receiving remote control device at the same time, the server determines the delivery remote control device corresponding to the delivery request with the earlier sending time as the target delivery remote control device according to the sending time sequence of the delivery request 1 and the delivery request 2, and determines the current receiving remote control device as the target receiving remote control device.

[0059] Further, if the server determines that there are multiple delivery remote control devices and multiple receiving remote control devices based on the received delivery request and receiving request, the server sends first interaction information for confirming the lifting device to each delivery remote control device and each receiving remote control device. For example, the first interaction information can include the number or position of each lifting device, i.e., tower crane. Meanwhile, the server receives second interaction information returned by each delivery remote control device and each receiving remote control device based on the first interaction information. For example, the second interaction information can include the device information of the lifting device confirmed by the delivery remote control device or the receiving remote control device, such as the number or position of the tower crane selected by the delivery end worker through the delivery remote control device or the number or position of the tower crane selected by the receiving end worker through the receiving remote control device. The server determines the delivery remote control device and the receiving remote control device with the same device information in the second interaction information as the target delivery remote control device and the target receiving remote control device. For example, if the server receives the delivery request of delivery remote control device 1 and delivery remote control device 2 and the receiving request of receiving remote control device 1 and receiving remote control device 2, the server returns the position information of each tower crane to each delivery remote control device and receiving remote control device and receives the selection result returned by each remote control device. For example, the selection result returned by delivery remote control device 1 is tower crane 1, the selection result returned by delivery remote control device 2 is tower crane 2, the selection result returned by receiving remote control device 1 is tower crane 1, and the selection result returned by receiving remote control device 2 is tower crane 2. The server determines that delivery remote control device 1 and receiving remote control device 1 are a group of target delivery remote control device and target receiving remote control device, and delivery remote control device 2 and receiving remote control device 2 are a group of target delivery remote control device and target receiving remote control device. The server determines the target delivery remote control device or the target receiving remote control device according to the selection result returned by each remote control device and determines the target lifting device corresponding to the target delivery remote control device and the target receiving remote control device through steps S100-S300. It can be understood that the number or position information of each tower crane can be pre-stored in the server. For example, a coordinate system is established based on the target construction site in advance, the coordinates of each tower crane in the target construction site are determined, and the coordinates of each tower crane are used as the position information of each tower crane.

[0060] In step S100, the target delivery point position of the target delivery remote control device and the target collection point position of the target collection remote control device are acquired, including: receiving the target delivery point position and the target collection point position input by a user through a first data interface; or acquiring the target delivery point position from a positioning device of the target delivery remote control device and acquiring the target collection point position from a positioning device of the target collection remote control device through a second data interface. It can be understood that the delivery remote control device and the collection remote control device are each provided with a positioning device, and the target delivery point position and the target collection point position can be acquired by the positioning device of the target delivery remote control device and the target collection remote control device, and the acquired target delivery point position and target collection point position are sent to the server when sending a delivery request, or the target delivery point position and the target collection point position can be manually input by the server side in advance.

[0061] In step S200, after the server receives the target delivery point position and the target collection point position, the target delivery point position and the target collection point position are judged according to the positions of each tower crane and the hoisting range of each tower crane, and if the target delivery point position and the target collection point position can be covered by the hoisting range of the same tower crane, the tower crane is determined as a to-be-assigned hoisting device.

[0062] In step S300, after the server determines the target hoisting device according to the positional relationship between each to-be-assigned hoisting device and the target delivery point position and / or the target collection point position, the control authority of the target hoisting device is assigned to the target delivery remote control device and the target collection remote control device. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the server sends the communication address of the target hoisting device to the corresponding target delivery remote control device and target collection remote control device through wireless communication, and the target delivery remote control device and the target collection remote control device can access and match the target hoisting device through the communication address of the target hoisting device, and when the target hoisting device determines that the target delivery remote control device and the target collection remote control device have the control authority of the target hoisting device, the target delivery remote control device and the target collection remote control device can successfully match the target hoisting device. As shown in FIG. 3, after each remote control device is successfully paired with the corresponding tower crane, the delivery remote control device and the collection remote control device can directly control the delivery and collection operation of the tower crane without the need for server relay.

[0063] In the present application, when the to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment is a single machine, the to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment is directly determined as the target hoisting equipment, and when the to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment is multiple machines, the server determines the target hoisting equipment according to the positional relationship between each to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment and the target delivery point position and the target collection point position. In step S300, when the to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment is multiple machines, the method further comprises: receiving the equipment state of each to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment, and determining the target hoisting equipment according to the equipment state of each to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment, wherein the equipment state includes the running state or the idle state of the hoisting equipment. It can be understood that each hoisting equipment will send its latest equipment state to the server, for example, when the current hoisting equipment receives the control signal of the delivery remote control device or the collection remote control device to start the delivery or collection operation, the current hoisting equipment will update its equipment state to the running state, and send the updated equipment state to the server through wireless or wired communication. In this way, the server can obtain the real-time equipment state of all hoisting equipment.

[0064] Then, determining the target hoisting equipment according to the equipment state of each to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment comprises: first obtaining the equipment state of each to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment, i.e., determining whether each hoisting equipment is in the running state or the idle state; and then determining the number of idle state equipment, i.e., in the case that the to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment in the idle state is a single machine, determining the to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment in the idle state as the target hoisting equipment, for example, if tower crane 1 and tower crane 2 can both hoist the goods from the target delivery point position to the target collection point position, if tower crane 1 is idle and tower crane 2 is in the running state, then tower crane 1 is assigned to the target delivery remote control device and the target collection remote control device; in the case that the to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment in the idle state is multiple machines, the target hoisting equipment can be determined according to the positional relationship between each to-be-dispatched hoisting equipment in the idle state and the target delivery point position and / or the target collection point position. It can be understood that if all the tower cranes are in the running state, the tower assignment instruction is temporarily not executed, and the tower assignment instruction is executed after the tower crane is idle.

[0065] Further, in the case that the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state are multiple, the method further comprises receiving device heights of the to-be-assigned hoisting devices, and determining the target hoisting device according to the device heights of the to-be-assigned hoisting devices. The determination of the target hoisting device according to the device heights of the to-be-assigned hoisting devices comprises: obtaining the device heights of the to-be-assigned hoisting devices, and determining the to-be-assigned hoisting device with the lowest device height as the target hoisting device in the case that the to-be-assigned hoisting device with the lowest device height is single; and determining the target hoisting device according to the positional relationship between the to-be-assigned hoisting device with the lowest device height and the target shipping point position and / or the target receiving point position in the case that the to-be-assigned hoisting device with the lowest device height is multiple. Specifically, the device heights of the hoisting devices can be pre-stored in the server. If it is determined that the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state are multiple, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state comprise tower crane 1 and tower crane 2, first, the device height of the tower crane 1 and the device height of the tower crane 2 are obtained, and if the device height of the tower crane 1 is lower than the device height of the tower crane 2, the tower crane 1 is determined as the target hoisting device; or, as shown in FIG. 5, if the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state comprise tower crane 1, tower crane 2 and tower crane 3, if the device heights of the tower crane 1 and the tower crane 3 are lower than the device height of the tower crane 2, and the device heights of the tower crane 1 and the tower crane 3 are the same, the tower crane 1 or the tower crane 3 is further determined as the target hoisting device according to the positional relationship between the tower crane 1 and the target shipping point position and / or the target receiving point position, and the positional relationship between the tower crane 3 and the target shipping point position and / or the target receiving point position. That is, in the execution of the tower assignment strategy, the tower crane with a lower height is preferentially assigned, so that the tower cranes can be more reasonably assigned, and the waste of resources can be avoided.

[0066] Further, in the case that the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state are multiple, the method further comprises receiving device heights of the to-be-assigned hoisting devices, and determining the target hoisting device according to the device heights of the to-be-assigned hoisting devices. The determination of the target hoisting device according to the device heights of the to-be-assigned hoisting devices comprises: obtaining the device heights of the to-be-assigned hoisting devices, and determining the to-be-assigned hoisting device with the lowest device height as the target hoisting device in the case that the to-be-assigned hoisting device with the lowest device height is single; and determining the target hoisting device according to the positional relationship between the to-be-assigned hoisting device with the lowest device height and the target shipping point position and / or the target receiving point position in the case that the to-be-assigned hoisting device with the lowest device height is multiple. Specifically, the device heights of the hoisting devices can be pre-stored in the server. If it is determined that the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state are multiple, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state comprise tower crane 1 and tower crane 2, first, the device height of the tower crane 1 and the device height of the tower crane 2 are obtained, and if the device height of the tower crane 1 is lower than the device height of the tower crane 2, the tower crane 1 is determined as the target hoisting device; or, as shown in FIG. 5, if the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state comprise tower crane 1, tower crane 2 and tower crane 3, if the device heights of the tower crane 1 and the tower crane 3 are lower than the device height of the tower crane 2, and the device heights of the tower crane 1 and the tower crane 3 are the same, the tower crane 1 or the tower crane 3 is further determined as the target hoisting device according to the positional relationship between the tower crane 1 and the target shipping point position and / or the target receiving point position, and the positional relationship between the tower crane 3 and the target shipping point position and / or the target receiving point position. That is, in the execution of the tower assignment strategy, the tower crane with a lower height is preferentially assigned, so that the tower cranes can be more reasonably assigned, and the waste of resources can be avoided.

[0067] Further, in the present application, the target hoisting device is determined according to the positional relationship between each to-be-assigned hoisting device and the target delivery point position and / or the target collection point position, and can further include: determining a first distance between the hoisting device position of each to-be-assigned hoisting device and the target delivery point position, determining a second distance between the hoisting device position of each to-be-assigned hoisting device and the target collection point position, and determining a to-be-assigned hoisting device with the smallest sum of the first distance and the second distance among the to-be-assigned hoisting devices as the target hoisting device. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, taking the to-be-assigned hoisting devices in the idle state as an example, the to-be-assigned hoisting devices include tower crane 1 and tower crane 2. First, the first distance h1 between tower crane 1 and the target delivery point is determined according to the position of tower crane 1, the first distance h2 between tower crane 2 and the target delivery point is determined according to the position of tower crane 2, the second distance h3 between tower crane 1 and the target collection point is determined according to the position of tower crane 1, and the second distance h4 between tower crane 2 and the target collection point is determined according to the position of tower crane 2. The spatial travel H1 of tower crane 1 from the target delivery point position to the target collection point position and the spatial travel H2 of tower crane 2 from the target delivery point position to the target collection point position are calculated respectively, where H1 = h1 + h3 and H2 = h2 + h4. The sizes of H1 and H2 are compared. If H1 > H2, tower crane 2 is determined as the target hoisting device. If H1 < H2, tower crane 1 is determined as the target hoisting device. If H1 = H2, tower crane 1 or tower crane 2 is randomly determined as the target hoisting device. In this way, the tower crane with the shortest spatial travel distance to the target delivery point position and the target collection point position is determined as the target hoisting device, which can effectively reduce the waste of energy.

[0068] In the present application, after determining the target hoisting device, the server sends the target delivery point position and the target collection point position to the hoisting device. The hoisting device receives the target delivery point position and the target collection point position from the server, and controls the hoisting mechanism of the current hoisting device to reach a delivery initial position according to the target delivery point position. The delivery initial position is any position within the first hoisting range of the current hoisting device that can cover the target delivery point position, i.e., the delivery initial position is an initial range that can cover the target delivery point position. For the target delivery remote control device, in the case where the server assigns the control authority of the target hoisting device to the current delivery remote control device, the delivery control instruction is sent to the target hoisting device. The hoisting device receives the delivery control instruction from the target delivery remote control device, and controls the hoisting mechanism of the current hoisting device to reach the target delivery point position to hoist the goods in the case where the target delivery remote control device has the control authority of the current hoisting device. The delivery remote control device can send a delivery task end request to the target hoisting device to release the control authority of the target hoisting device in the case where the delivery task is completed. It can be understood that the hoisting mechanism of the hoisting device is the hook and / or the lifting arm of the tower crane.

[0069] After the target hoisting device completes hoisting of the goods, before the hoisting mechanism of the current hoisting device reaches the target receiving point position, the hoisting mechanism of the current hoisting device is first controlled to reach a receiving initial position, which is any position within a second hoisting range of the target receiving point position that can be covered by the hoisting mechanism of the current hoisting device, that is, the receiving initial position is an initial range that can cover the target receiving point position. For the target receiving remote control device, in a case where it is determined that the server assigns the control right of the target hoisting device to the current receiving remote control device, a receiving control instruction is sent to the target hoisting device to control the hoisting mechanism of the target hoisting device to reach the target receiving point position. The hoisting device receives the receiving control instruction from the target receiving remote control device, and in a case where it is determined that the target receiving remote control device has the control right of the current hoisting device, controls the hoisting mechanism of the current hoisting device to reach the target receiving point position. The receiving remote control device can send a receiving task end request to the target hoisting device to release the control right of the target hoisting device in a case where the receiving task is completed.

[0070] In addition, the hoisting devices also transmit their own device states to each other. For example, before performing the delivery operation, the current hoisting device receives the current device state of the adjacent hoisting device, where the hoisting range of the adjacent hoisting device overlaps with the hoisting range of the current hoisting device, and the device state includes the running state or the idle state of the hoisting device. As shown in FIG. 8, in a case where the current device state of the adjacent hoisting device is the running state, the hoisting mechanism of the current hoisting device is controlled to move out of the hoisting range of the adjacent hoisting device, and the current hoisting device is controlled to enter the waiting state until the current device state of the adjacent hoisting device is updated to the idle state, thereby avoiding the adjacent hoisting device.

[0071] After the current device state of the adjacent hoisting device is updated to the idle state, the current hoisting device sends the device state that the current hoisting device is in the running state to the adjacent hoisting device and the server in a case where it is determined that the current target delivery remote control device has the control right of the current hoisting device, and performs the delivery operation in response to the instruction of the target delivery remote control device; and sends the device state that the current hoisting device is in the idle state to the adjacent hoisting device and the server in a case where it is determined that the server has recovered the control right of the current hoisting device from the target delivery remote control device and the target receiving remote control device. In this way, the hoisting devices can avoid each other based on the device state of the adjacent hoisting device by updating the device state of the hoisting device in real time, thereby effectively improving the safety of the hoisting process.
