The controller can be implemented by a computer host, a microcontroller, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the like, and the automatic lifting hook can be implemented by any automatic lifting hook provided by the prior art.

It should be noted that, if the tower crane is an unmanned tower crane, the controller may be disposed on a control platform on the ground, and a display screen is disposed on the control platform, so that a tower crane operator views a live image around the lifting hook through the display screen, and accordingly, the automatic lifting hook is controlled to grasp goods according to the vision sensing signal, and the control of the automatic lifting hook by the vision sensing signal may be that the vision sensing signal is played through the display screen disposed on the control platform, so that the tower crane operator accurately knows the condition around the lifting hook and controls the automatic lifting hook to automatically hook the goods.

In addition, the controller can be connected with the vision sensor and the sensor driving mechanism in a wireless mode or in a wired mode, and in consideration of relatively poor stability of wireless signals, safety accidents possibly caused by signal interruption and errors, in some embodiments, the vision sensor and the sensor driving mechanism are preferably connected with the controller in a wired mode by using a cable, and particularly, the cable can be connected to a console on the ground along a crane arm and a standard section and connected with the controller on the console, so that signal quality and stability are improved, and the safety accidents caused by signal problems are avoided.

By configuring the intelligent tower crane with the sensing equipment for the automatic grabbing process of the tower crane lifting hook, the automatic lifting hook is connected with the lifting hook driving mechanism by arranging the controller, the automatic lifting hook, the lifting hook driving mechanism, the vision sensor and the sensor driving mechanism, the vision sensor is connected with the sensor driving mechanism, the lifting hook driving mechanism, the sensor driving mechanism and the vision sensor are all connected with the controller, and the controller also controls the vision sensor to follow the automatic lifting hook to move through the sensor driving mechanism when controlling the automatic lifting hook to move through the lifting hook driving mechanism, controls the vision sensor to acquire the vision sensing signal towards the area where the automatic lifting hook is positioned so as to control the automatic lifting hook to grab goods according to the vision sensing signal, therefore, the visual sensor can acquire visual sensing signals in a short distance along with the movement of the automatic lifting hook, compared with the mode of installing the zoom camera in the prior art, the problems that manual zooming affects the operation of a tower crane operator or the operation of the automatic zooming is out of alignment to cause the blurring of pictures can be avoided, the high-definition and accurate visual sensing signals can be automatically acquired without the additional operation of the tower crane operator, the tower crane operator can observe the conditions of lifting hook conditions, surrounding environment, obstacles and the like according to the visual sensing signals, the hidden safety hazards of 'mountain isolation lifting' and the like are solved, the lifting safety of the blind areas is ensured, the automatic lifting hook can be further utilized to automatically grab goods based on the visual sensing signals, the problems of inaccurate hook lifting and the like are solved, a span worker is not required to adopt a manual operation mode to lift the goods on the lifting hook, the participation of workers such as span worker, command and the like can be reduced, thereby further reducing the probability of accidental injury of the manual work by the goods and reducing the incidence rate of safety accidents.

In some variations of the present application, the hook drive mechanism includes a first trolley, the sensor drive mechanism includes a second trolley, and the first trolley and the second trolley are both disposed on and move along the boom of the tower crane.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the vision sensor is suspended on the second trolley by a rope pulley assembly, and moves in a horizontal direction according to the movement of the second trolley along the boom, and moves in a vertical direction according to the retracting action of the rope pulley assembly.

The first trolley and the second trolley can share one set of variable-amplitude steel wire rope to draw and move, under the condition that the first trolley and the second trolley need to keep a fixed distance, such as 3 meters, 5 meters and the like, in addition, the first trolley and the second trolley can also adopt two sets of different variable-amplitude steel wire ropes to draw and move respectively, so that the distance between the first trolley and the second trolley can be adjusted, the distance from the vision sensor to the automatic lifting hook can be adjusted conveniently, and a better observation field is obtained.

In addition, the first trolley and the second trolley need to adopt two sets of different lifting steel wire ropes to respectively pull the automatic lifting hook and the visual sensor to lift, so that the visual sensor can be leveled with the automatic lifting hook, can also be higher than the automatic lifting hook or lower than the automatic lifting hook to acquire signals, and can be applied to various working conditions to obtain a better observation field of view.

By arranging the second trolley to independently drive the vision sensor, the following relation between the vision sensor and the automatic lifting hook can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working condition, for example, the vision sensor and the automatic lifting hook can be adjusted to keep 3 m intervals along the width-changing direction and keep m intervals along the height direction, or the vision sensor and the automatic lifting hook can be adjusted to keep m intervals along the width-changing direction and keep parallel (the interval is zero) along the height direction, and the like, so that a better observation field of view can be obtained.

After the following relation is determined, the controller can automatically control the vision sensor to carry out following movement according to the following relation when controlling the automatic lifting hook to move so as to keep the same observation field of view. In addition, the operator can also adjust the following relation according to the actual requirement, and the embodiment of the application is not limited to specific numerical values.

It should be noted that, the following related in the embodiment of the application refers to that the vision sensor and the automatic lifting hook keep a certain distance and angle when moving, so as to obtain the same observation field of view, improve the observation experience of the tower crane operator, and avoid the field of view transformation to influence the observation of the tower crane operator.

The vision sensor that this application embodiment provided can be connected with the controller through the cable, the cable can receive and release through the winder, the winder can be located on the second dolly, the winder can keep the cable in tightening state, avoids the cable to loosen and rocks and influence other part operations.

In other modified embodiments, the tower crane is provided with an amplitude sensor and a height sensor, wherein the amplitude sensor is used for detecting amplitude position information of the automatic lifting hook, and the height sensor is used for detecting height position information of the automatic lifting hook;

the controller controls the vision sensor to move along with the automatic lifting hook according to the amplitude position information and the height position information of the automatic lifting hook.

The amplitude sensor and the height sensor can be realized by using a sensor provided by the prior art, and the amplitude sensor and the height sensor can be a mechanical sensor, an infrared sensor or a laser sensor, which can realize the purposes of the embodiment of the application, and the embodiment of the application is not limited.

The amplitude-changing position information may include a horizontal distance between the automatic hook and the standard knot along the amplitude-changing direction (i.e., the horizontal direction of the boom), the height position information may include a vertical distance between the automatic hook and the boom along the vertical direction, and the amplitude-changing position information and the height position information may be used to determine amplitude-changing position information and height position information of a position where the visual sensor should be located according to amplitude-changing position information and height position information of the automatic hook and by combining predetermined following relationships, and control the visual sensor to move to the position where the visual sensor should be located according to the amplitude-changing position information and the height position information, so as to implement following motion with the automatic hook.

When the vision sensor is controlled to move along with the automatic lifting hook, the direction of the vision sensor is also required to be controlled (the vision sensor can be installed on the cloud deck through the control of the cloud deck, so that the direction is adjustable), the area where the automatic lifting hook is located can be shot, specifically, in some embodiments, the controller also determines the rough relative position relationship between the vision sensor and the automatic lifting hook according to the amplitude position information and the height position information of the automatic lifting hook, and the amplitude position information and the height position information of the vision sensor, and coarsely adjusts the steering of the vision sensor to the area where the automatic lifting hook is located according to the rough relative position relationship. Because the amplitude position information and the height position information of the automatic lifting hook and the visual sensor are already obtained during the following movement, the visual sensor can be quickly and coarsely adjusted to the area where the automatic lifting hook is located according to the existing data through the implementation mode.

In view of the fact that the automatic hook is not necessarily at a preferred position in the visual field of the vision sensor after coarse adjustment, and the vision sensor may swing along with air disturbance in the high altitude to fail to accurately capture an expected picture, in some modified embodiments, after coarsely adjusting the vision sensor to the area where the automatic hook is located, the controller further determines a fine relative position relationship between the vision sensor and the automatic hook by identifying the automatic hook in the vision sensor signal collected by the vision sensor, and fine-adjusts the vision sensor according to the fine relative position relationship, so that the fine-adjusted vision sensor collects a vision sensor signal meeting the expected requirement. According to the embodiment, the image recognition technology provided by the prior art can be utilized to recognize the automatic lifting hook in the vision sensing signal, so that the fine relative position relationship between the vision sensor and the automatic lifting hook is determined, and the vision sensor is finely tuned according to the fine relative position relationship, so that the vision sensor after fine tuning collects vision sensing signals meeting expectations, the expectations can be that the automatic lifting hook is positioned at the middle position of a picture of the vision sensing signal, or the automatic lifting hook and a suspended object are integrally positioned at the middle position of the picture of the vision sensing signal, and the embodiment of the application is not limited. According to the embodiment, the visual sensing signal meeting the expectation can be obtained through fine adjustment on the basis of coarse adjustment, and the accuracy of the visual sensing signal is improved, so that the automatic lifting hook action can be accurately controlled by using the visual sensing signal.

In any of the foregoing embodiments, the vision sensor may include a pan-tilt camera or a laser scanner, which may collect accurate vision sensing signals, so as to help a tower crane operator accurately understand the working condition of the lifting hook and accurately control the automatic lifting hook to lift the cargo.

It is easy to understand that if the vision sensor is lighter in weight, the vision sensor swings with air disturbance in the high altitude to affect the shooting effect, so that in some modified embodiments, the vision sensor can be further provided with a gesture stabilizing controller to help the vision sensor stabilize the gesture in the high altitude, reduce shaking, improve the shooting effect, further help the tower crane operator to accurately know the working condition of the lifting hook, and accurately control the automatic lifting hook to hoist the goods.

The attitude stabilization controller can be realized by at least one of a counterweight, a flywheel and a control moment gyro, and can be realized by one of the counterweights, the flywheel and the control moment gyro or a plurality of the counterweights, the flywheel and the control moment gyro. Wherein, the addition of the counterweight is most easy to realize and the implementation cost is lowest; if the flywheel is additionally arranged, the flywheel should be horizontally arranged, and the angular momentum generated by the flywheel can be helpful for keeping the posture of the vision sensor stable; in addition, the principle of the moment gyro is that when a gyro is given torque perpendicular to the rotation axis of the gyro, a precession moment perpendicular to the rotation axis and perpendicular to the torque axis is generated, and by using the principle, the vision sensor can be helped to keep stable posture by installing the moment gyro, and the effect of stabilizing the posture in the mode is the best.

In consideration, when lifting cargoes, the problems of falling of a lifting hook, falling of a rope and the like occur in the lifting process due to the fact that the cargoes are not tightly bound and are not accurately hooked and the like frequently, so that cargoes fall and injure ground workers such as a cable worker and the like due to falling of the cargoes, and safety accidents are caused, and therefore lifting abnormality of a tower crane needs to be further detected to reduce the lifting safety accidents of the tower crane. On the basis of any of the foregoing embodiments, in some modified embodiments, the sensing device for an automatic grabbing process of a tower crane hook may further include: a gesture sensor in communication with the controller;

the gesture sensor is fixedly arranged on the automatic lifting hook and is used for collecting gesture data of the automatic lifting hook in real time and sending the gesture data to the controller;

the controller determines the inclination information and the swing information of the automatic lifting hook according to the posture data, and judges whether the lifting state of the automatic lifting hook is abnormal according to the inclination information and the swing information.

The gesture sensor may include, but is not limited to, a motion sensor implementation such as a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis electronic compass, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

It should be noted that, if the tower crane is an unmanned tower crane, the controller may be disposed on a console on the ground, and a display screen and/or a sound connected to the controller are disposed on the console, so as to broadcast whether the lifting state of the automatic lifting hook is abnormal in an image and/or voice manner, so that a tower crane operator knows whether the lifting state of the automatic lifting hook is abnormal.

Because the lifting hook often generates a larger inclination angle or shakes greatly before the lifting hook falls off and the rope falls off, the automatic lifting hook can accurately judge whether the lifting state of the tower crane is abnormal or not by utilizing the gesture data of the automatic lifting hook so as to timely carry out targeted treatment when detecting the abnormality, avoid scattering cargoes to injure workers by smashing, and reduce the safety accident occurrence rate caused by scattering of the lifted cargoes in the lifting stage of the tower crane.

The empty load attitude data are basic attitude data which are acquired in a static state that the automatic lifting hook is empty and the surrounding is windless and used for comparison, and after the automatic lifting hook is hooked to take the goods, namely the load, the inclination information and the swing information of the automatic lifting hook can be obtained by comparing the load attitude data with the empty load attitude data.

The inclination information refers to inclination angle and the like generated by the rotation of the automatic lifting hook by taking the automatic lifting hook as a reference, and the swinging information refers to swinging angle and the like generated by the swinging of the automatic lifting hook by taking a trolley suspending the automatic lifting hook as a reference, wherein the radius of a circle can be calculated according to a path (a section of arc line on the circle) of the automatic lifting hook passing through in the swinging process, the swinging angle can be further calculated according to the length of the arc line, and whether the state of the automatic lifting hook is abnormal can be judged and predicted according to the inclination information and the swinging information.

Specifically, the controller may determine tilt change information and swing change information of the unit time window according to the tilt information and the swing information by using a sliding time window method, and determine whether a lifting state of the automatic lifting hook is abnormal according to the tilt change information and the swing change information.

Wherein the tilt change information includes at least one of a tilt change amplitude and a tilt angle at the end of the unit time window, and the wobble change information includes at least one of a wobble change amplitude and a wobble angle at the end of the unit time window.

Compared with the prior art, the intelligent tower crane provided by the embodiment of the application can be used for further adding the visual sensor and the sensor driving mechanism through the sensor internet of things system for sensing the lifting abnormal state of the intelligent tower crane, and controlling the lifting hook to move through the lifting hook driving mechanism, controlling the visual sensor to follow the lifting hook to move through the sensor driving mechanism, controlling the visual sensor to face the area where the lifting hook is located to collect visual sensing signals, comprehensively judging whether the lifting state of the lifting hook of the tower crane is abnormal according to the visual sensing signals and the gesture data collected by the gesture sensor, so that the visual sensor can collect the visual sensing signals in a short distance along with the movement of the lifting hook, high-definition and accurate visual sensing signals can be automatically collected without additional operation of a tower crane operator, and whether the lifting state of the lifting hook of the tower crane is abnormal or not can be comprehensively and accurately judged according to the visual sensing signals, thereby further reducing the probability of being mistakenly injured by goods, and reducing the occurrence rate of safety accidents.

The first trolley and the second trolley can share one set of variable-amplitude steel wire rope to draw and move, under the condition that fixed distances, such as rice and the like, are needed to be kept, in addition, the first trolley and the second trolley can also adopt two sets of different variable-amplitude steel wire ropes to draw and move respectively, so that the distance between the first trolley and the second trolley can be adjusted, the distance from the visual sensor to the lifting hook can be adjusted conveniently, and a good observation view can be obtained.

In addition, the first trolley and the second trolley need to adopt two sets of different lifting steel wire ropes to respectively drag the lifting hook and the vision sensor to lift, so that the vision sensor can be leveled with the lifting hook, can also be higher than the lifting hook or lower than the lifting hook to acquire signals, and can be applied to various working conditions to obtain a better observation field.

By arranging the second trolley to independently drive the vision sensor, the following relation between the vision sensor and the lifting hook can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working condition, for example, the distance between the vision sensor and the lifting hook along the width-changing direction can be adjusted, the distance between the vision sensor and the lifting hook along the height direction can be adjusted, or the distance between the vision sensor and the lifting hook along the width-changing direction can be adjusted, the distance between the vision sensor and the lifting hook along the height direction can be kept parallel (the distance is zero), and the like, so that a better observation field of vision can be obtained.

After the following relation is determined, the controller can automatically control the vision sensor to carry out following movement according to the following relation when controlling the lifting hook to move so as to keep the same observation field of view. In addition, the operator can also adjust the following relation according to the actual requirement, and the embodiment of the application is not limited to specific numerical values.

It should be noted that, the following related to the embodiment of the present application means that the visual sensor and the lifting hook keep a certain distance and angle when moving, so as to obtain the same observation field of view, so as to facilitate judging whether the lifting state of the tower crane lifting hook is abnormal through image comparison and recognition.

For example, taking a visual sensing signal as a real-time picture shot by a tripod head camera, the lifting hook and the rope can be identified through image recognition, whether an abnormality exists or not can be judged through the relative positions of the lifting hook and the rope and the movement trend of the rope in the pictures shot successively, for example, if the rope moves to a preset range at the outlet of the lifting hook and has a trend of continuing to move towards the unhooking direction, the unhooking risk is judged, namely the lifting state of the lifting hook of the tower crane is judged to be abnormal; otherwise, the unhooking risk can be judged, namely, the lifting state of the tower crane lifting hook is judged to be abnormal. The image recognition technology is a mature technology in the prior art, and a person skilled in the art can directly apply the prior art to the present application to achieve the purpose of the embodiment of the present application.

In other modified embodiments, the tower crane is provided with an amplitude sensor and a height sensor, wherein the amplitude sensor is used for detecting amplitude position information of the lifting hook, and the height sensor is used for detecting height position information of the lifting hook;

the controller controls the vision sensor to move along with the lifting hook according to the amplitude position information and the height position information of the lifting hook.

The amplitude-changing position information can comprise the horizontal distance between the lifting hook and the standard joint along the amplitude-changing direction (namely the horizontal direction of the lifting arm), the height position information can comprise the vertical distance between the lifting hook and the lifting arm along the vertical direction, and the amplitude-changing position information and the height position information can be used for determining the amplitude-changing position information and the height position information of the position where the vision sensor should be positioned according to the amplitude-changing position information and the height position information of the lifting hook and combining the predetermined following relation and controlling the vision sensor to move to the position where the vision sensor should be positioned according to the amplitude-changing position information and the height position information.

When the vision sensor is controlled to move along with the lifting hook, the direction of the vision sensor is also required to be controlled (the vision sensor can be installed on the cloud deck through the cloud deck control, so that the direction is adjustable), the area where the lifting hook is located can be shot, specifically, in some embodiments, the controller also determines the rough relative position relation between the vision sensor and the lifting hook according to the amplitude position information and the height position information of the lifting hook, and the amplitude position information and the height position information of the vision sensor, and coarsely adjusts the area where the vision sensor is turned to the lifting hook according to the rough relative position relation. Because the amplitude position information and the height position information of the lifting hook and the visual sensor are already obtained during the following movement, the visual sensor can be quickly and coarsely adjusted to the area where the lifting hook is positioned according to the existing data through the implementation mode.

In view of the fact that the hook is not necessarily at a preferred position in the visual field of the vision sensor after coarse adjustment, and the vision sensor may swing along with air disturbance in the high altitude to fail to accurately capture an expected picture, in some modified embodiments, after coarsely adjusting the vision sensor to the area where the hook is located, the controller further determines a fine relative positional relationship between the vision sensor and the hook by identifying the hook in the vision sensor signal collected by the vision sensor, and fine-adjusts the vision sensor according to the fine relative positional relationship, so that the fine-adjusted vision sensor collects the vision sensor signal meeting the expected requirement. According to the embodiment, the lifting hook in the visual sensing signal can be identified by utilizing the image identification technology provided by the prior art, so that the fine relative position relationship between the visual sensor and the lifting hook is determined, and the visual sensor is finely tuned according to the fine relative position relationship, so that the visual sensor after fine tuning acquires the visual sensing signal which accords with the expectation, wherein the expectation can be that the lifting hook is positioned at the middle position of the picture of the visual sensing signal or that the lifting hook and the suspended goods are integrally positioned at the middle position of the picture of the visual sensing signal, and the embodiment of the application is not limited. Through this embodiment, can be on coarse tuning the basis further through fine setting and just recall and accord with anticipated vision sensing signal, improve vision sensing signal accuracy to utilize this vision sensing signal to judge accurately the play of lifting state of tower crane lifting hook is unusual.

In any of the foregoing embodiments, the visual sensor may include a pan-tilt camera or a laser scanner, which may collect accurate visual sensing signals, so as to determine whether a lifting state of a tower crane hook is abnormal by combining gesture data.

Specifically, if the lifting state of the tower crane lifting hook is comprehensively judged according to the gesture data and the visual sense signal, the specific judging mode can be as follows: if any one of the gesture data and the visual sensing signals is adopted to judge that the lifting state of the tower crane lifting hook is abnormal, the lifting state of the tower crane lifting hook is judged to be abnormal as a whole, otherwise, the lifting state of the tower crane lifting hook is judged to be abnormal. Therefore, whether the lifting state of the tower crane lifting hook is abnormal or not is comprehensively and accurately judged by comprehensively utilizing the attitude data and the visual sense signals, and the accuracy is improved.

It is easy to understand that if the vision sensor is light, the vision sensor swings with air disturbance in the high air to affect the shooting effect, so that in some modification embodiments, the vision sensor can be further provided with a gesture stabilizing controller to help the vision sensor stabilize the gesture in the high air, so as to reduce shaking, improve the shooting effect and further improve the accuracy of abnormal judgment of the lifting state of the tower crane lifting hook.

Compared with the prior art, the intelligent tower crane material positioning auxiliary device based on the internet of things communication is characterized in that a controller, a radio frequency signal transmitter and a plurality of radio frequency signal receivers are arranged, and the radio frequency signal transmitter is arranged on a material when in use and broadcasts radio frequency signals to the surrounding; the system comprises a controller, a plurality of radio frequency signal receivers, a controller, a plurality of time difference of arrival TDOA algorithm, a plurality of intelligent towers, a plurality of wireless sensors and a plurality of wireless sensors, wherein the plurality of radio frequency signal receivers are respectively arranged at a plurality of different positions on the intelligent towers and are in communication connection with the controller, each radio frequency signal receiver is used for receiving radio frequency signals broadcast by the radio frequency signal transmitter and transmitting the radio frequency signals to the controller, and the controller is used for calculating positioning information of the materials according to position information of each radio frequency signal receiver and the arrival time of the transmitted radio frequency signals by the radio frequency signal receiver and adopting the arrival time difference TDOA algorithm, so that the positioning of the materials on a construction site can be realized, the automatic picking and placing operation of the lifting hooks can be realized, the automation, the intelligent level and the operation efficiency of the intelligent towers are improved, the accident rate is reduced, and the casualties of workers are avoided.

The embodiment of the application calculates the positioning information of the material by using a time difference of arrival (Time Difference of Arrival, TDOA) algorithm, where TDOA is a method for positioning by using a time difference, and by measuring the time when a signal (e.g., a radio frequency signal) arrives at a monitoring station (e.g., a radio frequency signal receiver in the embodiment), the distance of a signal source (e.g., a radio frequency signal transmitter in the embodiment) can be determined. The location of the signal can be determined using the distances of the signal source to the plurality of radio monitoring stations (the distances being circles around the radio monitoring stations) and the radius. By comparing the time differences of the signals reaching the monitoring stations, a hyperbola taking the monitoring stations as focuses and the distance differences as long axes can be made, and the intersection point of the hyperbolas is the position of the radio frequency signal transmitter, namely the position of the material.

the controller is also used for determining the lifting order of a plurality of materials needing to be lifted by the current intelligent tower crane according to the lifting order information, and sequentially lifting the materials according to the lifting order and the positioning information of the materials needing to be lifted by the current intelligent tower crane.

The execution monitoring information comprises action information of an executing mechanism corresponding to the control instruction, wherein the action information is detected from the control instruction, and the action information comprises at least one of action amplitude, action time and action speed.

In addition, the above assignment may be performed in combination with a specific historical execution arrival rate value, for example, the historical execution arrival rate when a fault occurs is b, and the historical execution arrival rate when the execution mechanism works well is c, and then the fault occurrence rate corresponding to a certain historical execution arrival rate d may be calculated by the following formula:

in the above, m ₂ Represents the failure occurrence rate corresponding to the historical execution arrival rate d, and b represents the failure occurrence rateAnd c represents the historical execution in-place rate when the execution mechanism is operating well.
