Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In the working scene of the tower crane, because the area condition close to the ground or the obstacle is complex, people and machines often work or irregular obstacles exist, and the like, for the sake of safety, a tower crane driver generally lifts a hoisted object to a certain height when driving, and starts the operations of amplitude variation and rotation after the hoisted object is away from the ground and the obstacle by a certain distance, so that the hoisted object is prevented from horizontally moving to a large extent in the area with equal distance to the obstacle on the ground. Similarly, when the crane is lowered, the driver moves the weight to a position right above the target point, and then slowly lowers the crane.
The core of the algorithm is that a heuristic path searching algorithm is introduced, and a bootstrap program is led to tend to select nodes closer to an end point each time the node is selected, so that the program can quickly obtain a feasible path. Common heuristic functions in the a-algorithm are:
euclidean distance:
Figure BDA0003301036340000071
manhattan distance:
Figure BDA0003301036340000072
chebyshev distance:
Figure BDA0003301036340000073
in the formula, pi、qiAnd (i ═ 1, 2.., n) are coordinate values of the current node and the end point respectively. The distance is used as an heuristic function, the planned path is often a path from a starting point to a terminal point, and the situation that the path is attached to the ground and a barrier area moves horizontally to a large extent often occurs, so that the method adopts the heuristic function of the conventional A-x algorithm to plan the lifting path of the tower crane, the obtained path is not suitable for the working scene of the tower crane, and certain potential safety hazards exist.
Therefore, the present invention provides an embodiment of a method for planning a lifting path of a tower crane based on an a-x algorithm, as shown in fig. 1, including:
step S10: and establishing a three-dimensional grid model of the construction site under the column coordinates, and generating a grid node set.
To implement this step, a three-dimensional model of the construction site under rectangular coordinates may be established first, and the three-dimensional model may be established by combining oblique photography with an image analysis technique or three-dimensional laser scanning modeling, wherein the implementation process of combining oblique photography with an image analysis technique may include: (1) arranging a plurality of video monitoring cameras at the periphery of the building main body and the tower crane; the video monitoring camera is used for collecting field images around the building main body and the tower crane, and is fixedly installed, so that a shooting visual angle is always kept in the image collecting process. (2) Acquiring a field image by a video monitoring camera; (3) carrying out image analysis on a site image shot by a video monitoring camera to generate a three-dimensional model of a construction site under rectangular coordinates; extracting the tower crane, the building and the like shot in the field image, reducing the tower crane, the building and the like in proportion according to the position and the image size, and finally determining the three-dimensional model of the embodiment.
After a three-dimensional model of the construction site under the rectangular coordinate is established, the three-dimensional model is converted into a three-dimensional grid model, and a grid node set is determined according to the set plane grid precision (for example, less than or equal to 1 m). The three-dimensional mesh model of the present embodiment is built under the cylindrical coordinates, and may include: (1) equally dividing an angle coordinate theta into a parts by a set step length by taking a central axis of a tower body of the tower crane as a longitudinal axis of a column coordinate; (2) converting the angle coordinates theta of all the nodes into integers from 0 to a-1; (3) and taking the angle coordinate of the node as an index of the primary list, and taking the radius coordinate r and the height coordinate h of the node as a secondary list. Preferably, the step size is set to 1 °, the angle coordinate θ is equally divided into 360 parts, the angle coordinates θ of all the nodes are converted into integers between 0 and 359, and then the angle coordinate is used as an index of the first list, and the radius coordinate r and the height coordinate h of the node are stored in the second list. Namely:

step S20: generating an obstacle point set U according to obstacles and a grid node set in a construction site0
In order to ensure the tower crane to perform lifting operationIn the process of operation, the lifted object does not collide with the obstacles in the construction site, and an obstacle point set U needs to be determined according to the grid node set, the positions, the sizes and the shapes of the obstacles in the construction site and the like0

Step S30: obtaining the coordinates of a lifting starting point S and the coordinates of a lifting end point G under the column coordinates, wherein the coordinates are respectively (r)SS,hS) And (r)GG,hG)。
The manner of acquiring the coordinates of the lifting starting point S and the lifting end point G under the column coordinates can be used for reference in the prior art, and will not be limited herein.
Step S40: according to a lifting starting point S, a lifting end point G, a grid node set and an obstacle point set U0And planning a preset hoisting path planning strategy to plan a hoisting path from the hoisting starting point S to the hoisting end point G.
As shown in fig. 2, the lifting path planning strategy includes:
s101: a reachable point set open list and a focus free list are established.
The reachable point set open list and the non-attention point set close list are provided by the grid node set, the barrier point set and the set redundancy l in the foregoing embodimentsextraIs established according to the basis.
S102: and putting the lifting starting point S into the reachable point set open list, and making the total cost f (S) and the actual cost g (S) of the lifting starting point S be 0 and making the father node be the father node.
S103: selecting a node n with the minimum total cost f (n) from the reachable point set open list, and deleting the node n from the reachable point set open list; wherein the coordinate of the node n is (r)nn,hn) Node ofn total cost f (n) g (n) h (n), g (n) actual cost of node n, h (n) heuristic function of node n, and h (n) k1(hmid-hn)+k2+k3(|rn-rG|+|θnG|)+k4|hn-hG|,k1,k2,k3,k4Is a predetermined weight function, hmidThe height value is a safety height value which needs to be ensured before the horizontal movement with a preset large amplitude.
Specifically, the weight function k in this embodiment1Mainly used for controlling the lifting, the path can firstly move upwards to the target height hmidWeight function k1The expression of (a) is:

Safety height hmidAccording to the height of the lifting starting point S and the lifting end point G and the maximum height h allowed to be lifted by the tower cranemaxComprehensively determining:
the safety height value is: h ismid=max(hS,hG)+(hmax-max(hS,hG))/2。
S104: acquiring a node m adjacent to the node n, and judging whether the node m belongs to an obstacle point set U0Or no focus set close list; wherein the coordinate of the node m is (r)mm,hm)。
This step determines whether node m belongs to the set of obstacle points or a close list without paying attention to the set of points, and the coordinate (r) of node m is required to be determinedmm,hm) And obstacle point set U0And comparing the coordinates of each point in the close list without paying attention to the point set one by one, and when the coordinates of the obstacle point set U are in the close list, comparing the coordinates of each point in the close list with the coordinates of each point in the close list0And when the close list of the point set is not needed to be paid attention to, the comparison times are greatly increased, so that the comparison process is slowed down, and the efficiency of planning the path is reduced. Especially for the obstacle point set U0Because the tower crane work site is large, in order to ensure the accuracy of the tower crane path, the site is divided into space grids with the side length of each unit not more than 1m according to the previous steps, so that the number of the obstacle points is at least hundreds of thousands, and a large amount of comparison work is generated.
To this end, embodiments of the present invention take the form of the aforementioned nested list, comprising: angular coordinate theta of node mmIndexing in a first-level list in a barrier point set or a close list without attention to a point set to find a corresponding second-level list; find the corresponding (r) in the corresponding secondary listm,hm). Whether the query node m belongs to the barrier point set U or not0Or when the focus set close list is not needed, only the angle coordinate theta is neededmAs an index, the thetamWhether there is a correspondence of (r) in the second listm,hm) The coordinates areBy adopting the method, most elements in the list can be directly excluded during comparison, and the judgment times are greatly reduced. Similarly, the radius coordinate r or the height coordinate h can be used as an index, but in a tower crane working scene, the angle coordinate θ can often contain more integers, so that the angle is more recommended to be used as the index.
