Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for geo-referenced location determination of containers, in particular in the loading area of container cranes according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned in such a way that an accurate location of located in the loading or unloading of container cranes containers can be made.
- the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.
- An essential feature of the invention is that now instead of the failing in the receiving shadow of container cranes GPS localization of the transport vehicle now a determination of the distance of the transport vehicle to fixed points of the crane is completed.
- receiving shadow is understood to mean that the outriggers or loading bridges or other parts of the container crane cover the transport vehicle operating under the crane so that the GPS system of the transport vehicle does not transmit the signals from the sky-based GPS satellites can receive and evaluate more.
- the distance measurement according to the invention is carried out by wireless communication.
- a transponder is arranged on the transport vehicle, which operates with a distance measuring device operating via a wireless communication.
- the distance measurement takes place in this case, for example via a radio beacon and a transponder.
- This distance-measuring device operating via a wireless communication transmits radio pulses at regular intervals, which are picked up by receivers arranged on the crane and sent back again. The duration of this pulse is recorded, and the runtime measurement determines the exact distance in all two or three spatial planes.
- At least three radio beacons arranged at different locations are present on the crane, which transmit back the received pulse.
- the distance measuring device is attached to the transport vehicle and measures its distance to transponders, which are attached as radio beacons, for example, to the legs of the crane.
- optical distance measurement (for example via laser) takes place.
- the distance measurement takes place via ultrasound.
- the present invention is not limited to the fact that the position of the transport vehicle with the attached container (or double container) takes place only in the receiving shadow of the container crane.
- the distance measurement takes place with respect to two spaced apart and possibly with separately operating container cranes.
- the distance measurement can also take place outside the GPS receiving shadow in the direction of only one crane.
- the signals of the transport vehicle are further processed via radio-based technology.
- a transponder tag
- the transport vehicle which works with a preferably fixedly arranged reader.
- the reader does not have to be stationary.
- the beacon can together with the reader form a device.
- FIG. 1 is generally shown that from a ship 2, which is located on a quay of a port, a number of containers 1 are loaded, which are unloaded by a container crane 5.
- the container crane 5 on one or more of trolleys 6 located lifting tools, which are arranged, for example, raised and lowered in the direction of arrows 7.
- the trolley 6 is brought into the position 6 ', d. H. a arranged on the ship 1 container is unloaded by moving the trolley 6 on the crane bridge 4 and should be spent on a storage area 3.
- a container bearing 8 is provided, on which operate one or more transport vehicles 9.
- this carries a GPS receiver 20, which receives a plurality of satellites 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d each have a transmit beam 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d and due to the transit time differences between the different transmitted beams 19, the absolute position of the container crane 5 can be detected on the bearing surface 3.
- the transport vehicle 9 operating in the reception shade 17 is shaded by the satellite receiver and is no longer able to position itself accurately with its own GPS receiver to hand over the warehouse management program.
- the transport vehicle 9 consists in a conventional manner of a gripping device 10 which is arranged on a lifting device 11. It is freely movable with wheels and, for example, just takes a container 12, which is arranged in the row 13 of the loading and unloading.
- a container 12 which is arranged in the row 13 of the loading and unloading.
- FIG. 2 are in the loading and unloading also two more rows 14, 15 arranged on which containers are sold or can be raised.
- the arrangement of two further rows 14, 15 is an embodiment of the invention, but other configurations of the loading and unloading space may be provided.
- Each Kranfixtician is designed as a radio beacon 28, 29, where - like FIG. 2 shows - a total of 4 different radio beacons 28a, 28b and 29a, 29b are present. This is only to be understood as an example of a preferred constellation.
- the distance sensor 26 thus carries out measuring distances at intervals of distance to the crane fixedly arranged radio beacons 28, 29 and thus determines - very accurately - the distance of the transport vehicle 9 relative to the container crane. 5
- the transponder 23 on the transport vehicle 9 cooperates with a preferably stationary arranged reading device 24, which in turn accounts for the received data with the absolute crane position data.
- FIG. 1 shows, are first received in the crane-side GPS receiver 20, the four satellite signals in a specific data format 21 and input via an output 22 a computer.
- the calculation of the crane coordinates 21 takes place via the output 22 with the aid of a calculation of the current position of the crane in the calculation block 31.
- This absolute position of the crane is fed to a computer 32 and connected to the data of the rangefinder 26 by inputting it to a calculation block 33 which determines the relative transport vehicle coordinates Xs, Ys, Zs.
- the result is the absolute location coordinates of the container just taken up by the transport vehicle or dropped off or carried along with it.
- FIG. 2 can be arranged in a row 13, 14, 15, either a double container 12 or two individual containers 12a, 12b, which are, however, always taken together or individually by the transport vehicle 9 or discontinued.
- the transport vehicle 9 is located exactly above the double containers 12a, 12b arranged in row 13, the distance measurement is carried out and, in the previously described procedure, offset against the absolute location coordinates of the container crane, whereby the absolute positional position of the two containers 12a, 12b in row 13 is known and thus can be tracked exactly to which storage location the transport vehicle 9 spends these two containers.
- the absolute spatial position of the containers picked up or set down by the transport vehicle is therefore possible at any desired time, even if the transport vehicle operates in the GPS receiving shadow of the container crane 5.
- FIG. 4 shows as a development of the present invention that the distance measurement does not necessarily have to take place to a single container crane.
- two adjacent container cranes 5a, 5b are arranged, which operate at a certain distance on the quay.
- the distance measurement then takes place between the radio beacons of both a container crane 5a and the other container crane 5b.
- the invention is not limited to perform a distance measurement via radio beacons, which are arranged on two spaced container cranes 5a, 5b.
- the invention is not limited thereto.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur georeferenzierten Ortsbestimmung von Containern, insbesondere im Ladebereich von Container-Kränen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a method for geo-referenced location determination of containers, in particular in the loading area of container cranes according to the preamble of claim 1.
Beim Entladen von Containerschiffen mit Hilfe von Container-Kränen und einem unter dem Container-Kran operierenden Transport-Fahrzeug ist es bekannt, die aktuelle Position des Container-Kranes mit einem GPS-gestützten System zu ermitteln. Ein solches System ist in Dokument
Ferner ist es bekannt, auch den Transport-Fahrzeugen, mit dem die Container aus dem Ladebereich oder in den Ladebereich des Container-Kranes gebracht werden, mit einer GPS-gestützten Ortsbestimmung zu versehen.Furthermore, it is also known to provide the transport vehicles with which the containers are brought out of the loading area or into the loading area of the container crane with a GPS-supported location determination.
Es hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, dass, wenn ein solches Transport-Fahrzeug im durch Satellitenempfang bedingten Empfangsschatten des Container-Kranes operiert, das kranseitige GPS-System vom GPS-Satellitenempfang abgeschirmt wird, so dass für die im Empfangsschatten des Container-Kranes operierenden Transportfahrzeuge keine GPS-Ortsbestimmung vorgenommen werden kann.However, it has been found that when such a transport vehicle operates in satellite reception-conditioned reception shadow of the container crane, the crane-side GPS system is shielded from the GPS satellite reception, so that for the operating in the receiving shadow of the container crane transport vehicles no GPS location can be made.
Aus diesem Grund ist es nicht möglich, eine genaue Lokalisierung der im Ladebereich des Container-Kranes angeordneten Container zu bewerkstelligen.For this reason, it is not possible to accomplish a precise localization of the container arranged in the loading area of the container crane.
Bisher hat man sich dadurch beholfen, dass eine Bedienungsperson per Funk dem Bedienungsmann am Container-Kran die Anweisung gab, welchen Container er wohin befördern soll, um eine lagenrichtige Zuordnung der Container auf dem Ladeplatz zu erreichen. In anderen Fällen wurden Prozesse definiert, die eine Annahme über den Ort des Containers mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit treffen konnten.So far, it has been remedied that an operator by radio to the operator on the container crane gave the instruction which container he should carry to where to achieve a correct assignment of the container on the loading place. In other cases, processes have been defined that could make an assumption about the location of the container with high probability.
Beim Entladen von Containern von Schiffen, die am Kai liegen, ist es bekannt, die an dem Container angeordnete OCR-lesbare Information auszulesen und einem Hafenverwaltungs-Programm einzuspeisen. Auf diese Weise ist in Verbindung mit den GPS-Koordinaten des Container-Kranes bekannt, welcher Container-entsprechend seinem OCR-lesbaren Etikett - aktuell gerade entladen wird.When unloading containers from ships that are on the dock, it is known to read the arranged on the container OCR-readable information and feed a port management program. In this way, it is known in conjunction with the GPS coordinates of the container crane, which container according to its OCR-readable label - currently being unloaded.
Sobald aber der Container von dem Container-Kran erfasst und auf den an Land befindlichen Lade- oder Entladeplatz verbracht wird, ist es nicht mehr möglich, die aktuelle georeferenzierte Position im Lade- oder Entladebereich des Container-Kranes zu erfassen, weil dieser Bereich vom Container-Kran selbst gegen einen satellitengestützten Empfang von GPS-Signalen in unerwünschter Weise abgeschirmt wird.However, as soon as the container is picked up by the container crane and transferred to the on-land loading or unloading station, it is no longer possible to detect the current georeferenced position in the loading or unloading area of the container crane because this area is off the container Crane itself is shielded against satellite-based reception of GPS signals in an undesirable manner.
Auf diese Weise kommt es beim Laden und Entladen von Containern mit Hilfe von Container-Kränen zu Verwechslungen dergestalt, däss die im Lade- oder Entladebereich vorhandenen Container nicht mehr genau lokalisiert werden können und deshalb der falsche Container an den falschen Ort gebracht wird.In this way, when loading and unloading containers with the help of container cranes to confusion in such a way that the existing in the loading or unloading container can not be accurately located and therefore the wrong container is placed in the wrong place.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, dass auch eine genaue Ortsbestimmung von im Lade- oder Entladebereich von Container-Kränen befindlichen Containern vorgenommen werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object, a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned in such a way that an accurate location of located in the loading or unloading of container cranes containers can be made.
Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist die Erfindung durch die technische Lehre des Anspruches 1 gekennzeichnet.To solve the problem, the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.
Wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung ist, dass nun anstatt der im Empfangsschatten von Container-Kränen versagenden GPS-Lokalisierung des Transport-Fahrzeuges nunmehr eine Abstandsbestimmung des Transportfahrzeuges zu festgelegten Fixpunkten des Kranes vollzogen wird.An essential feature of the invention is that now instead of the failing in the receiving shadow of container cranes GPS localization of the transport vehicle now a determination of the distance of the transport vehicle to fixed points of the crane is completed.
Damit wird eine relative Lagenbestimmung (Positionsbestimmung) des im Kranbereich operierenden Transport-Fahrzeuges im Bezug zum Kran erzeugt. Nachdem die GPS-Koordinaten des Kranes bekannt sind, ist es durch Verrechnung der relativen Entfernung des Transport-Fahrzeuges zu den festgelegten Fixmarken des Kranes und seinen GPS-Koordinaten nunmehr möglich, die absolute Lage des Transportfahrzeuges auch im Empfangsschatten des Kranes zu bestimmen.This generates a relative position determination (position determination) of the transport vehicle operating in the crane area in relation to the crane. After the GPS coordinates of the crane are known, it is now possible to determine the absolute position of the transport vehicle in the receiving shadow of the crane by offsetting the relative distance of the transport vehicle to the specified fixed marks of the crane and its GPS coordinates.
Unter dem Begriff "Empfangsschatten" wird verstanden, dass die Ausleger oder Ladebrücken oder sonstige Teile des Container-Kranes das unter dem Kran operierende Transport-Fahrzeug so abdecken, dass das GPS-System des Transport-Fahrzeuges die Signale von himmelsgestützt operierenden GPS-Satelliten nicht mehr empfangen und auswerten kann.The term "receiving shadow" is understood to mean that the outriggers or loading bridges or other parts of the container crane cover the transport vehicle operating under the crane so that the GPS system of the transport vehicle does not transmit the signals from the sky-based GPS satellites can receive and evaluate more.
Hier setzt die Erfindung ein, die stattdessen vorsieht, dass eine relative Entfemungsmessung des Transport-Fahrzeuges in Bezug zu der bekannten Position des Kranes stattfindet und dass diese relativen Koordinaten in Verbindung mit den absoluten Positionskoordinaten des Container-Kranes so verrechnet werden, dass zu jedem beliebigen Zeitpunkt die genaue Position des Transport-Fahrzeuges unter dem Kran zu ermitteln ist.This is where the invention begins, which instead provides that a relative distance measurement of the transport vehicle takes place in relation to the known position of the crane and that these relative coordinates are calculated in relation to the absolute position coordinates of the container crane such that they can be added to any one Time to determine the exact position of the transport vehicle under the crane.
Nachdem das Transport-Fahrzeug entweder nur einen einfachen Lang-Container (40 Fuß) oder zwei Kurz-Container (zu je 20 Fuß) aufnehmen oder absetzen kann, ist durch die nunmehr mögliche absolute Ortsbestimmung des Transport-Fahrzeuges zu jedem beliebigen Zeitpunkt möglich, die Position des gerade von dem Container-Kran aufgenommenen Lang-Containers oder der zwei von ihnen aufgenommenen Kurz-Container zu bestimmen.After the transport vehicle either only a simple long-container (40 feet) or two short containers (20 feet each) can take or drop, is possible by the now possible absolute location of the transport vehicle at any time, the Determine the position of the long container currently being picked up by the container crane or the two short containers it has picked up.
Damit ist es erstmals möglich, über das Hafenverwaltungs-Programm die Container zu lokalisieren, die im Lade- oder Entladebereich des Kranes angeordnet sind und demzufolge eine genaue Lagenbestimmung mit absoluten Positions-Koordinaten vorzunehmen.This makes it possible for the first time to locate the containers via the port management program, which are arranged in the loading or unloading area of the crane and therefore make an exact position determination with absolute position coordinates.
Damit wird ein Irrtum über den Standort des Containers ausgeschlossen, und es kommt nicht mehr vor, dass ein solcher Container am falschen Ort zur falschen Zeit positioniert wird.This eliminates an error about the location of the container, and it no longer happens that such a container is positioned in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Mit der gegebenen technischen Lehre ergibt sich somit der wesentliche Vorteil, dass durch eine einfache Entfernungsmessung der relativen Koordinaten des Transport-Fahrzeuges damit auch der vom Transportfahrzeug erfasste Container in absoluten georeferenzierten Koordinaten bestimmt werden kann und somit seine absolute Position in X-Y- und gegebenenfalls Z-Richtung auf der Aufstellfläche ermittelt werden kann.With the given technical teaching, there is thus the essential advantage that by a simple distance measurement of the relative coordinates of the transport vehicle and thus the container detected by the transport vehicle can be determined in absolute geo-referenced coordinates and thus its absolute position in XY- and possibly Z- Direction can be determined on the footprint.
Statt der hier als Beispiel angegebenen kartesischen Koordinaten können auch die bekannten Geo-Koordinaten verwendet werden.Instead of the Cartesian coordinates given here as an example, the known geo coordinates can also be used.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die erfindungsgemäße Entfernungsmessung durch eine drahtlose Kommunikation erfolgt.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, provision is made for the distance measurement according to the invention to be carried out by wireless communication.
Zu diesem Zweck ist am Transportfahrzeug ein Transponder angeordnet, der mit einem über eine drahtlose Kommunikation arbeitenden Entfernungsmessgerät arbeitet. Die Entfernungsmessung erfolgt in diesem Fall beispielhaft über eine Funkbake und einen Transponder.For this purpose, a transponder is arranged on the transport vehicle, which operates with a distance measuring device operating via a wireless communication. The distance measurement takes place in this case, for example via a radio beacon and a transponder.
Dieses über eine drahtlose Kommunikation arbeitende Entfernungsmessgerät sendet in regelmäßigen Intervallen Funkimpulse aus, die von kranseitig angeordneten Empfängern aufgenommen und wieder zurückgesendet werden. Die Laufzeit dieses Impulses wird erfasst, und über die Laufzeitmessung wird die genaue Entfernung in allen zwei oder drei Raumebenen bestimmt.This distance-measuring device operating via a wireless communication transmits radio pulses at regular intervals, which are picked up by receivers arranged on the crane and sent back again. The duration of this pulse is recorded, and the runtime measurement determines the exact distance in all two or three spatial planes.
Hierbei wird es bevorzugt, wenn am Kran mindestens drei an unterschiedlichen Stellen angeordnete Funkbaken vorhanden sind, welche den empfangenen Impuls zurücksenden.In this case, it is preferred if at least three radio beacons arranged at different locations are present on the crane, which transmit back the received pulse.
Denkbar ist auch eine Variante, bei dem das Entfernungsmessgerät am Transportfährzeug angebracht ist und seine Entfernung zu Transpondern misst, die als Funkbaken z.B. an den Beinen des Kranes befestigt sind.Also conceivable is a variant in which the distance measuring device is attached to the transport vehicle and measures its distance to transponders, which are attached as radio beacons, for example, to the legs of the crane.
In einer anderen Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung kann es auch vorgesehen sein, dass statt der drahtlosen Kommunikation zur Entfernungsmessung eine optische Entfernungsmessung (z. B. über Laser) stattfindet.In another embodiment of the present invention, it may also be provided that, instead of the wireless communication for distance measurement, optical distance measurement (for example via laser) takes place.
In einer dritten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass die Entfernungsmessung über Ultraschall erfolgt.In a third embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the distance measurement takes place via ultrasound.
Daneben werden auch andere Meßprinzipien für die Entfernungsmessung als erfindungswesentlich angesehen:
- Time-of-Flight-Messung (das ist eine Funkmessung)
- Time difference of arrival
- RSSI (received signal strength indicator)
- UWB (ultra wideband technology)
- Und der gleichen mehr.
- Time-of-flight measurement (this is a radio measurement)
- Time difference of arrival
- RSSI (received signal strength indicator)
- UWB (ultra wideband technology)
- And the same more.
Selbstverständlich ist die vorliegende Erfindung nicht darauf beschränkt, dass die Position des Transport-Fahrzeuges mit dem daran angehängten Container (oder Doppel-Container) nur im Empfangsschatten des Container-Kranes stattfindet. In einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass die Entfernungsmessung in Bezug auf zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordneten und eventuell mit getrennt operierenden Container-Kränen erfolgt.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the fact that the position of the transport vehicle with the attached container (or double container) takes place only in the receiving shadow of the container crane. In another embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the distance measurement takes place with respect to two spaced apart and possibly with separately operating container cranes.
Auch kann die Entfernungsmessung auch außerhalb des GPS-Empfangsschattens in Richtung nur auf einen Kran stattfinden.The distance measurement can also take place outside the GPS receiving shadow in the direction of only one crane.
Nach einem besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Signale des Transport-Fahrzeuges über funkgestützte Technik weiter verarbeitet werden. Dies bedeutet, dass am Transport-Fahrzeug ein Transponder (Tag) angeordnet ist, der mit einem bevorzugt ortsfest angeordneten Leser (Reader) arbeitet. Der Leser muss jedoch nicht ortsfest sein. Und die Funkbake kann mit dem Leser zusammen ein Gerät bilden.According to a particular feature of the invention, it is provided that the signals of the transport vehicle are further processed via radio-based technology. This means that a transponder (tag) is arranged on the transport vehicle, which works with a preferably fixedly arranged reader. However, the reader does not have to be stationary. And the beacon can together with the reader form a device.
Ebenso kann es in einer Weiterbildung vorgesehen sein, dass auch am Container-Kran ein oder mehrere Transponder angeordnet sind, die mit einem ortsfesten Lesegerät kommunizieren. In diesem Fall wird die Entfernungsmessung zwischen Kran und einem weiteren bekannten Punkt durchgeführt, welcher dann als Referenzpunkt dient.Likewise, it may be provided in a development that also on the container crane one or more transponders are arranged with a fixed Reader communicate. In this case, the distance measurement between crane and another known point is performed, which then serves as a reference point.

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun vorgesehen, dass wegen der Abschattung des Transport-Fahrzeuges 9 im Empfangsschatten 17 des Container-Kranes 5 eine Entfernungsmessung des Transport-Fahrzeuges zu festgelegten Kranfixpunkten stattfindet.According to the invention, it is now provided that because of the shadowing of the

Daraus ergibt sich also ein sogenannter Floating Reference Point 34, was bedeutet, dass nun die relativen Koordinaten des Transport-Fahrzeuges 9 in den Rechner 32 eingegeben werden und mit den absoluten Ortskoordinaten des Container-Krans 5 verrechnet werden. Über eine Ausgabe 35 wird diese Berechnung in einen Rechenblock 36 übergeben und schließlich im Rechenblock 37 als Ergebnis ausgegeben.This results in a so-called floating

Statt einer solchen mit einer drahtlosen Kommunikation arbeitenden Entfernungsmessung können auch Ultraschall-Entfernungsmessungen, optische oder lasergestützte Entfernungsmessungen vorgenommen werden.However, the invention is not limited thereto. Instead of such a wireless communication distance measurement also ultrasonic distance measurements, optical or laser-based distance measurements can be made.
