The embodiments described herein are specific embodiments of the present invention, and are intended to be illustrative and exemplary of the concepts of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments of the present invention. In addition to the embodiments described herein, those skilled in the art will be able to employ other technical solutions which are obvious based on the disclosure of the claims and the specification of the present application, and these technical solutions include technical solutions which make any obvious replacement or modification for the embodiments described herein.
The drawings in the present specification are schematic views to assist in explaining the concept of the present invention, and schematically show the shapes of respective portions and their mutual relationships. It is noted that the drawings are not necessarily to the same scale so as to clearly illustrate the structures of the various elements of the embodiments of the invention. Like reference numerals are used to denote like parts.
The invention discloses a module schematic diagram of a tower crane early warning monitoring system, which comprises a wind speed detection sensor and a control analysis device, wherein the wind speed detection sensor is arranged on a lifting appliance 10 of a tower crane to measure the natural wind speed of the lifting appliance in real time; the control analysis device comprises a filtering module which filters the interference of the movement of the lifting appliance on the natural wind speed of the lifting appliance so as to accurately monitor the natural wind speed of the lifting appliance 10 of the tower crane.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the control and analysis device further includes a data acquisition module, which acquires the measurement signal of the wind speed detection sensor in real time and performs analog-to-digital conversion so that the measurement value is compared with a preset value.
In the invention, the filtering module combines a program judgment filtering method and a jitter elimination filtering method to filter interference waves of the hanger subjected to natural wind speed measurement. Specifically, according to an empirical judgment, the maximum deviation value allowed by two sampling is determined (set as P), and it is judged each time a new value is detected: if the difference between the current value and the previous value is not more than P, the current value is valid, and if the difference between the current value and the previous value is more than P, the current value is invalid, the current value is discarded, and the previous value is used to replace the current value. It can be understood that the filtering module can also adopt an arithmetic average filtering method, a limiting average filtering method, a first-order lag filtering method and/or a limiting jitter-eliminating filtering method to filter interference waves of the hanger, which are measured by the natural wind speed.
As another embodiment of the present invention, the control and analysis device presets a safety value a, an early warning value B, and a risk value C; if the natural wind speed borne by the lifting appliance is not greater than the safety value A, indicating that the tower crane normally operates; if the natural wind speed borne by the lifting appliance is between a safety value A and an early warning value B, indicating early warning operation of the tower crane; and if the natural wind speed borne by the lifting appliance is greater than the dangerous value C, the dangerous operation of the tower crane is represented. The tower crane early warning monitoring system further comprises an acousto-optic alarm device which sends different output signals according to the measured value of the wind speed detection sensor.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the wind speed detecting sensor realizes wireless data transmission through the Zigbee communication module. Specifically, a transmitting end of a Zigbee communication module is arranged on the wind speed detection sensor, and a receiving end of the Zigbee communication module is arranged on a tower crane operation room and a tower crane operation handheld end, so that wireless transmission of data is realized through Zigbee.

Preferably, the wind speed detection sensor is a constant temperature type hot wire wind speed sensor. The constant-temperature hot-wire wind speed sensor comprises a sensing element which is a thin metal wire heated by current, and is arranged in a channel. When the gas flows through the fine wire, it will carry away some heat, which is related to the velocity of the fluid. The heating current is changed to supplement the heat taken away by the gas, so that the resistance value of the metal wire is kept unchanged; at this time, the larger the flow rate, the larger the current required, and the fluid velocity can be obtained from the current required to be applied, that is, the wind velocity at the position can be obtained.

(3) the wind speed sensor of the tower crane has different principles, the conventional rotating cup type wind speed sensor is adopted in the conventional wind speed sensor of the tower crane, and the heat-sensitive constant-temperature type wind speed sensor has the advantage of small volume.
Before the tower crane early warning monitoring system is normally used for operation, the tower crane operation room fixing display equipment needs to be installed in the tower crane operation room in advance and connected with a power supply, and ground personnel use the tower crane to operate the handheld end within the range of 100m of the straight-line distance of hoisting operation. Before the wind speed detection sensor is used, the sensitivity of the wind speed detection sensor is firstly tested, the ZigBee communication module is subjected to pairing test, and whether the wind speed detection sensor is firmly installed or not is checked.
