Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all 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 application.

Summary of the application

In the transportation of the container, the container needs to be fixed by a lock so as to avoid the movement of the container. Usually, a lock station special for disassembling and assembling the lock is arranged at the wharf accessory, an automatic disassembling and assembling device is arranged at the lock station, and a lock clamp is used at an operation end of the automatic disassembling and assembling device to disassemble or assemble the lock. The types of locks are different, and the types of clamps used are also different. Meanwhile, the containers have different specifications, the sizes of the containers in different box types are different, the fixed positions on the container trucks can be different, and the number and the types of the locksets on the containers are different.

Locks are generally classified into side locks and middle locks. The containers have different specifications, such as 40-foot containers (i.e., containers having a length of 40 feet), 45-foot containers (i.e., containers having a length of 40 feet), single 20-foot containers (i.e., single containers having a length of 20 feet), and double 20-foot containers (two 20-foot containers are formed with a longitudinal distance therebetween). All be provided with the side lock in four corner positions department on 40 chi and 45 chi containers, to single 20 chi containers, in length direction, two tool to lock of certain one end are the side lock, and two tool to lock of the other end are well locks. For a double 20-foot container, the locks at the ends (two ends on the whole) far away from each other of the two containers are side locks, and the locks at the ends close to each other are middle locks.

The position of the containers on the pallet may vary, for example, 40, 45 and two 20 foot containers are typically placed near the head, and a single 20 foot container may be placed near the head to form the front 20 foot box, may be in the middle of the pallet to form the middle 20 foot box, and may be at the rear end of the pallet to form the rear 20 foot box. Different container types are formed due to different specifications of the containers and different fixing positions on the container trucks.

At present, in the process of unlocking and locking, a truck driver mainly judges the parking position of a vehicle according to information such as box type of a container, and the like, and parks the truck at a position suitable for the unlocking and locking as much as possible. However, in this way, the parking of the container truck mainly depends on the judgment of the driver, and in the parking process, the driver also needs to continuously check whether the container truck is in a proper dismounting position after the container truck is parked, so that a lot of time is wasted, and the efficiency is reduced. Meanwhile, after the container truck is parked in place, the automatic disassembling and assembling device needs to replace the clamp according to the type of the lockset to disassemble and assemble the lock. At present, all the disassembled locks are mixed, and when the locks are installed, because the specifications of the containers for installing the locks and the locks cannot be corresponded in advance, the locks need to be sorted manually for classification when the locks are installed, which wastes time and labor; if not carry out manual sorting, the tool to lock mixes and supplies with automatic dismouting device, and proper tool to lock just can be taken to automatic dismouting device need discernment tool to lock classification earlier, can lead to in practical application, piles up a large amount of tool to locks on the conveyer belt, the tool to lock is difficult to carry out classification discernment, supplies with automatic dismouting device's tool to lock classification not and unusual circumstances such as unable lock. And the installation efficiency is seriously influenced because the abnormal processing is carried out by the working personnel.

It can be seen that there are many factors that affect the operation efficiency of the lock station at present, and in order to solve the above-mentioned two factors that affect the operation efficiency of the lock station, the present application provides a lock station, please refer to fig. 1-12, in a specific embodiment, the lock station is provided with a guiding and positioning system, a lock classifying and conveying system, and a dismounting system, the dismounting system includes an automatic dismounting device 12 for dismounting and/or mounting locks, and after the position of the automatic dismounting device 12 is set, a container needs to be parked in a dismounting operation area that the automatic dismounting device 12 can reach. The containers are classified into types of 40, 45, double 20, front 20, middle 20, rear 20, and the like, mainly by box type specifications (40, 45, 20, and front) of the containers themselves and positions (e.g., front, middle, and rear) of the containers on the container truck. In this embodiment, the controller of the disassembly and assembly system or the processor of the guiding and positioning system has preset disassembly and assembly positions, and each preset disassembly and assembly position may be a disassembly and assembly position to be parked in a preset container corresponding to the box type one-to-one, so that each box type has a fixed and accurate preset disassembly and assembly position. Certainly, the preset dismounting positions of some containers with different box types can be the same, for example, the box types with the front 20 feet, the middle 20 feet and the rear 20 feet can be consistent; or the preset disassembly and assembly positions of different box types can be partially overlapped, for example, the front part of the preset disassembly and assembly position of the front 20-foot box type is overlapped with the front part of 40 feet and/or 45 feet, and the rear parts of the preset disassembly and assembly positions of the middle 20 feet and the rear 20 feet are overlapped with the rear part of the preset disassembly and assembly position of 40 feet and/or 45 feet.

It should be added that, because of different container types, it is necessary to park all container types in the disassembling and assembling operation area, and the lengths of the truck heads of the trucks are different in practical application, and random errors also exist in the positions of the containers on the trucks. Therefore, containers of different box types are parked to proper dismounting positions, the parking positions of the truck head of the truck are different, and therefore a driver can difficultly judge whether the truck is parked properly when parking the truck.

In view of the above problem, in this embodiment, the guidance and positioning system outputs guidance information for guiding the container truck to stop at the preset disassembly and assembly position according to the position information of the container and the preset disassembly and assembly position corresponding to the box type, where the guidance information may include the current position of the container and the preset disassembly and assembly position to be parked, or may be directly distance information from the preset disassembly and assembly position, and so on, which is convenient for a driver of the container truck to visually know or for a driving and positioning system on the container truck to obtain visual information.

Through the guiding information, the guiding and positioning system guides the container truck to stop, so that the container is positioned to the preset dismounting position, the container truck can also directly, quickly and accurately stop in place and stop the container at the preset dismounting position, and when the container stops to the preset dismounting position, the corner (lock mounting position) of the container is positioned in the dismounting operation area of the automatic dismounting device 12 (for example, the arm extension range of the mechanical arm). Therefore, a driver does not need to judge the parking position of the container truck according to the position area of the container on the container truck, the specification of the container and the like, and does not need to check whether the container is in the preset dismounting position or not at the parking position, so that the process of parking the container in place is simplified, the accuracy of parking in place is improved, and the overall efficiency is improved more obviously. Simultaneously, this guide positioning system also is applicable to and guides unmanned collecting card, through giving the unmanned driving system on the collecting card with guide information transmission, makes its correction and the accurate distance of berth position, can realize accurate position and park, avoids parking apart from the deviation too big.

After the container is parked in place, the dismounting system of the lock station can acquire the types of the locks on the dismounting object by the controller, certainly, the types of the locks can also be acquired before the container is parked in place, after the controller of the dismounting system acquires the types of the locks, the clamps needed to be used by the automatic dismounting device 12 can be confirmed according to the types of the locks (one type of locks corresponds to one type of clamps, and the different types of locks need to be used by different clamps) if the locks need to be replaced, the clamps can be automatically replaced by the automatic dismounting device 12 through the quick-changing device (the automatic replacing clamps belong to the prior art and do not belong to the key narrative content of the real application, so the repeated description is omitted), and after the clamps are replaced, the automatic dismounting device 12 carries out dismounting and mounting of the locks. So, according to the automatic quick change anchor clamps of tool to lock classification, save time if the classification information of each tool to lock on this container has been obtained just before the container is parked in place, can also change anchor clamps in advance, treat that the container parks to preset dismouting position after, can carry out the dismouting fast, improve work efficiency.

The classified conveying system for the locks, as shown in fig. 2 and 6, includes a first conveying device for conveying a first kind of locks and a second conveying device for conveying a second kind of locks, and can classify and convey the locks, and the material receiving ends of the first conveying device and the second conveying device, i.e. the areas for receiving the locks, are all located in the placing range of the automatic dismounting device 12, for example, the arm extension range of the mechanical arm.

After the lock is disassembled, according to the type of the lock, the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12 puts the lock into the corresponding conveying device in a classified mode, namely, the first type of lock (such as a side lock) is put into the first conveying device, the second type of lock (such as a middle lock) is put into the second conveying device, automatic classified conveying and recycling of the lock are achieved, then when subsequent lock assembling is carried out, the lock is classified and finished, the lock can be supplied to the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12 for lock assembling in a classified mode without manual sorting, the problems that the lock is overstocked before the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12, the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12 cannot obtain the lock meeting the type requirement, the operation efficiency is seriously affected are avoided, on the basis of classified feeding, the smoothness of classified feeding is guaranteed, and the lock assembling efficiency is remarkably improved.

In summary, it can be seen that the lock station provided by the present application has a guiding and positioning system, a disassembling and assembling system and a lock classification conveying system, and can acquire box information, container location information and class information of locks on containers, then, on the first hand, by acquiring the box information of containers on a container truck and location information of containers relative to a preset disassembling and assembling location, the container truck can be automatically guided to stop at the preset disassembling and assembling location corresponding to the container box information, so that the container corners of the containers are opposite to the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12, and the operation of automatically guiding to stop at a proper location is realized, thereby not only avoiding judging the stop location of the vehicle by a driver, realizing automatic accurate management and control, improving parking accuracy and efficiency, but also ensuring that various box containers can move to the disassembling and assembling operation area of the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12, avoiding setting an overlong disassembling line, saving the arrangement number of the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12, or reducing the moving range of the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12, and assembling effects can be realized with low cost and assembling efficiency; in the second aspect, according to the acquired lock category information, the clamp used by the automatic dismounting device 12 can be confirmed and automatically replaced, so that the time is saved; the third aspect, according to the tool to lock classification information who acquires, automatic assembly and disassembly device 12 puts into the tool to lock on the tool to lock conveyor that corresponds according to the classification, first tool to lock conveyor is put into to first kind of tool to lock, second tool to lock conveyor is put into to second kind of tool to lock, carry out categorised transport and accomodate the tool to lock, then follow-up when locking, the tool to lock that provides for automatic assembly and disassembly device 12 also is categorised the supply, it can realize categorised feed to need not artifical letter sorting, avoid appearing automatic assembly and disassembly device 12 lock overstock in the front, automatic assembly and disassembly device 12 is difficult to obtain the problem that accords with serious influence operating efficiency such as classification demand, on the basis of categorised feed, guarantee the smooth and easy nature of categorised feed, show improvement dress locking efficiency.

The various components of unlock region 100 and lock region 200 are described below. The unlocking area 100 and the locking area 200 have substantially the same composition, and each includes a guiding and positioning system, a lock identification system, a distance measurement system, a monitoring system, and the like in the following embodiments. Of course, in other embodiments, the lock station may be provided with a mounting/dismounting area formed by the area where the two body frames 11 are located. The guiding and positioning system, the lock identification system, the distance measurement system and the monitoring system in the following embodiments are disposed in the dismounting area. In the following description, the embodiments of the present application are mainly illustrated in the case where the unlocking region 100 and the locking region 200 are separately provided, but the scope of protection is not limited thereto.

When the container card enters the unlocking area 100 or the locking area 200, the container card needs to be parked to a proper position, so that the container card is positioned in the dismounting operation area of the automatic dismounting device 12. The guiding and positioning system in the application plays a role in automatically guiding the container to park to a preset dismounting position, so that the corners of each box-type container are positioned in a dismounting operation area of the automatic dismounting device 12.

Particularly, the guiding and positioning system comprises a first information acquisition device 21 and a processor, the first information acquisition device 21 can acquire the position information of the container, for example, the real-time position of the container, the processor can also acquire the box information of the container, know which type of box the container belongs to, know the preset disassembly and assembly position where the container needs to be parked according to the box information, then the real-time position information and the preset disassembly and assembly position of the container are obtained, the guiding and positioning system can output guiding information, and therefore the guiding hub is parked at the place where the container is located at the preset disassembly and assembly position.

The first information acquisition device 21 may be a scanner or a laser detector or a visual camera, the first information acquisition device 21 is disposed in both the unlocking region 100 and the locking region 200, and the first information acquisition device 21 may be fixed above or on one side of the card collecting channel.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 7, the first information collecting device 21 is a laser-type scanning device for scanning a first plane, for example, a plane parallel to the ground and higher than the height of the truck head but lower than the height of the container top, between the top surface of the truck head and the top surface of the container. Therefore, the first information acquisition device 21 can scan the front box surface of the container, the distance from the front box surface to the first information acquisition device 21 is recorded as the first target distance L1, the position information of the container can be known, the distance from the container to a preset dismounting position (obtained through box information) can be known in real time through the first target distance L1, the container is output through the first guide device 23, and the container is guided to the preset dismounting position.

When the first information acquisition device 21 is a visual camera or a camera-type visual device, the acquired information is picture data, and the first target distance L1 is obtained according to image recognition.

When guiding the manned truck, the guiding and positioning system further comprises a first guiding device 23 which outputs guiding information in a display or playing mode, for example, the first guiding device 23 is a display screen which visually displays distance information of the container from the preset dismounting position, or the first guiding device 23 is a voice player which plays the distance information of the container from the preset dismounting position for guiding.

When leading unmanned collection card, for example install bluetooth orientation module or GPS orientation module on the collection card, set up the reference object in the dismouting region at the lock station, through laser radar and orientation module, the unmanned system of unmanned collection card can learn the distance of collection card distance reference object, and in this embodiment, the treater of guide orientation system and the unmanned system communication connection of unmanned collection card, give unmanned system with guide information transmission to accurately guide the collection card and target in place.

And the box information and the lock type information can be obtained through manual entry, for example, a shipowner enters the box information and the lock type information of the batch of containers on the ship into a controller of the lock station. The controller may also establish information transmission with a material system on the incoming material ship or a TOS system of a dock, and obtain the box information through the information transmission. To ensure that the information is correct, the lock station may also be provided with a component system for collecting information to identify container type and lock type, as described in the following embodiments.

For obtaining the box type information, in order to prevent the information transmission from being wrong, for example, the container information obtained from the ship or the terminal system is not consistent with the container information actually entering the lock station (the container information of wrong date or the container sequence is disordered, etc. are transmitted to cause the information to be inconsistent). In one embodiment, the guiding and positioning system comprises not only the first information acquisition device 21 but also the second information acquisition device 22, and the size of the container and the location area of the container on the container card can be identified through the two information acquisition devices, so that the box information of the container can be obtained.

For example, as shown in fig. 4 and 7, the first information acquisition device 21 is configured to scan a first plane, which is a plane parallel to the ground and higher than the height of the truck head but lower than the height of the container top, and is located between the top surface of the truck head and the top surface of the container; the second information acquisition device 22 is used to scan a second plane, which is a plane parallel to the ground and lower than the truck head but higher than the container bottom surface, and is located between the truck head top surface and the container bottom surface. In practice, the second information-collecting device 22 is located closer to the entrance of the card-collecting channel than the first information-collecting device 21. The second information acquisition device 22 acquires the distance from the front of the truck head to the second information acquisition device 22, and records the distance as a second target distance L2. The distance between the first information collection device 21 and the second information collection device 22 is recorded as a fixed distance L0. Through the fixed distance L0, the first target distance L1 and the second target distance L2, L1+ L0-L2= L distance from the front container surface of the container to the front of the truck head, whether the position of the container on the truck is close to the truck head or the truck tail can be known, namely the position area of the container on the truck head.

When the truck travels to the area where the vehicle head is located between the second information acquisition device 22 and the first information acquisition device 21, the second information acquisition device 22 can scan the side surface of the container, and the second information acquisition device 22 can acquire the distance from the rear surface of the container to the second information acquisition device 22, that is, the third target distance L3. At this moment, through fixed distance L0, first target distance L1, second target distance L2 and third target distance L3, can learn the size (L0 + L1-L2-L) of container, combine the position of placing of container on the truck, in addition, scan the container through first information acquisition device 21 and can also know whether the container region has the gap, can judge whether single case or two cases. By the information acquisition, the box type information of the container can be obtained, and the detailed position information of the container can be obtained, such as the position of the front box surface of the container and the position of the rear box surface of the container. In this embodiment, it can be seen that detailed location information and box information of the container can be obtained through the first information acquisition device 21 and the second information acquisition device 22. Through information acquisition device, carry out the one-to-one discernment to the container that carries out the tool to lock dismouting, obtain accurate box information, avoid the box information mistake.

In this embodiment, the guiding and positioning system includes a first information acquisition device 21, a second information acquisition device 22 and a processor, the first information acquisition device 21 can acquire position data of the front container surface of the container, and the second information acquisition device can acquire position data of the head of the container truck and the rear container surface of the container, and the container box is identified in the process that the container truck enters the locking station by combining the acquired data of the two acquisition devices, so as to determine the preset dismounting position of the container.

In another embodiment, the guiding and positioning system further comprises a box-type identification module in addition to the first information acquisition device 21, wherein the box-type identification module comprises a box-type acquisition device for acquiring the size and position information of the container on the container truck. The area of the previous embodiment is that the box type collecting apparatus in this embodiment does not include the first information collecting apparatus 21. Specifically, the box-type collecting device may be a visual device such as a visual camera, and determines the container box type by acquiring picture information and processing the picture information according to the image; or a laser radar or a 3D laser scanner is used for identifying the shapes of the container and the container collecting card, so that the position area of the container on the container collecting card can be known, and the container type is determined according to the size of the container calculated by scanning data; the box-type collecting device may also be formed by two laser scanners, and the principle is the same as that of the first information collecting device 21 and the second information collecting device 22, which is not described herein again.

The processor of the guiding and positioning system can be a control unit of the dismounting and mounting system, and can also be a sub-controller which is connected with the controller of the dismounting and mounting system in a communication way. Similarly, the automatic dismounting device 12 is controlled to place the locks in a classified manner, and the automatic dismounting device may be a master controller of the dismounting system or a slave controller which is connected with the master controller in a communication manner and is provided on each automatic dismounting device 12.

After the container is guided to the preset disassembly and assembly position, the automatic disassembly and assembly device 12 starts to disassemble and assemble the lock according to the lock type information. The preset dismounting positions are set according to the number and the positions of the automatic dismounting devices 12.

As shown in fig. 2 and 5, the number of the automatic assembling and disassembling devices 12 in each side of the card-collecting passage in the unlocking area 100 and the locking area 200, in each body frame 11, is plural, such as two, three, four or other numbers. It can also be said that two or three or four or more automatic attaching/detaching devices 12 are arranged on both sides of the card-collecting passage. While the respective removable attachment devices 12 in each row correspond to different sections of the length of the card-collecting channel. After the container enters the collecting and blocking passage of the unlocking area 100 or the locking area 200, the two rows of automatic dismounting devices 12 are respectively arranged at the two sides of the container, the arrangement direction is consistent with the length direction of the container, and the automatic dismounting devices can correspond to locks at different container corners of the container. And the first conveying device and the second conveying device are arranged on two sides of the card collecting channel, or on one side of each row of automatic dismounting devices 12 far away from the card collecting channel, namely, one row of automatic dismounting devices 12 corresponds to one group of lockset classification conveying systems.

The controller of dismouting system can acquire the box information of each container that will get into the collection card passageway, and according to the box information, the controller of dismouting system can learn the quantity and the position of tool to lock on this container, waits that the container parks preset dismouting position, and automatic dismouting device 12 on the automatic start-up is arranged and is aligned with each tool to lock position on this container or corresponding position in the range, unlocks each tool to this container. For example, a container box of 40 feet is provided on the container truck, and the corresponding predetermined mounting and dismounting positions may be: the front corner of the 40 feet container is opposite to the automatic dismounting device 12 arranged at the head of the channel (the head end is the end of the truck when the outlet end of the truck channel is stopped, namely the end of the truck when the truck is stopped), and when the container is stopped to the preset dismounting position, the automatic dismounting device 12 on the position corresponding to the four locks of the 40 feet container is started to dismount.

Specifically, the automatic disassembling and assembling devices 12 are arranged at intervals at each side of the card collecting channel, and the number of the automatic disassembling and assembling devices 12 can be matched with the maximum number of the locksets in each box type. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, four automatic dismounting devices 12 are disposed on each side of the card collecting channel and in each main body frame 11, wherein the upper row in the figure can be respectively marked as No. 1, no. 2, no. 3, and No. 4 from left to right, and the lower row in the figure can be respectively marked as No. 5, no. 6, no. 7, and No. 8 from left to right. When the 40-ruler and 45-ruler box type containers are disassembled and assembled, the

containers

1, 4, 5 and 8 are started to be disassembled and assembled, and the side locks are all disassembled. For the container of the first 20 boxes, can start No. 1, no. 2, no. 5 and No. 6 and carry out the dismouting, two side locks of tearing open, lock in two tearing open. For the containers with middle 20 feet and rear 20 feet boxes, the containers can be assembled and disassembled by starting No. 1, no. 2, no. 5 and No. 6, and also by starting No. 3, no. 4, no. 7 and No. 8. For the double 20-foot container, the 1-8 numbers are started to disassemble, wherein the 1 number, the 4 number, the 5 number and the 8 number of side-dismantling locks, and the 2 number, the 3 number, the 6 number and the 7 number of middle-dismantling locks.

It can be seen that after each box-type container is parked in place, for each lock, the automatic dismounting device 12 corresponding to or adjacent to the lock can be started to dismount the lock. According to the arrangement, the preset dismounting position is set according to the container box type, the automatic dismounting device 12 at different positions is started correspondingly to dismount the lockset, the automatic dismounting device 12 does not need to move for a large distance, the time is saved, and the efficiency is improved; meanwhile, when the automatic dismounting devices 12 are arranged according to the length direction of the card collecting channel and according to the position distribution of locks on each box type relative to the card collecting channel, one automatic dismounting device 12 corresponds to one box corner instead of two or more box corners, the number of the dismounted locks is reduced, the times of replacing clamps of the automatic dismounting device 12 can be obviously reduced, the dismounting operation is convenient, and the whole dismounting efficiency is improved; the operation of putting the lockset into the conveying device in a classified manner is very convenient to implement, and the lockset is simply and conveniently classified and recycled.

In the unlocking area 100, after the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12 unlocks, the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12 puts the locks into the corresponding conveying devices according to the types of the locks, that is, the first type of locks are put into the first conveying device, and the second type of locks are put into the second conveying device. In every main body frame 11, every row of automatic assembly and disassembly devices 12 all corresponds a set of categorised conveying system of tool to lock, need not automatic assembly and disassembly devices 12 and removes the categorised placing that can realize the tool to lock.

Lockset category information is input through the manual work, consumes time and labor, information transmission is carried out through other systems to obtain, information errors cannot be avoided, and once the information errors occur, the wrong lock disassembling fixture is adopted to disassemble and assemble the lockset, so that the lockset can be damaged and serious consequences such as incapability of disassembling can be caused. Therefore, in an embodiment of this application, the lock station still has the tool to lock identification system who discerns the tool to lock type, tool to lock identification system and dismouting system's controller communication connection, tool to lock identification system discernment tool to lock classification acquires tool to lock type information, then transmits the controller for dismouting system. On one hand, the lock classification information can be obtained without manual input, the working efficiency is improved, the probability of wrong lock classification can be reduced, and when a single 20-inch container is disassembled, the lock identification system can be used for conveniently and accurately identifying the lock, so that the condition that wrong information causes wrong lock classification is avoided; on the other hand, no matter which type of container lock is disassembled, the box information is combined with the lock type information acquired by the lock identification system, and mutual evidences can be obtained, for example, in the two processes of determining the position of the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12 to be started and determining the type of the lock recovery device into which the disassembled lock should be put, the box information and the lock type information can be combined to comprehensively determine, so that the accuracy is improved, the information error probability is reduced, and the lock classification error probability is reduced.

Specifically, the lock identification system comprises a lock information acquisition device 31 for acquiring lock structure information and a processor for identifying types and acquiring lock type information, as shown in fig. 7, the height of the lock information acquisition device 31 is matched with that of a container corner, and the container corner can be located in an acquisition area when the container corner of a container is close to or opposite to the lock information acquisition device 31. The structural information of tool to lock is gathered to tool to lock information acquisition device 31, and then the treater contrasts this structural information and the tool to lock information that prestores, discerns the classification of this tool to lock to with the judgement result promptly tool to lock classification information transmits the controller for the dismouting system, the controller carries out corresponding order, control automatic dismouting device 12 and confirm anchor clamps and dismantle the tool to lock, then put into corresponding tool to lock recovery unit according to the tool to lock classification with dismantling. When the lock is installed, the type of the lock on the conveying device can be identified through the lock identification system, and the automatic disassembling and assembling device 12 is ensured not to take the wrong lock.

Specifically, tool to lock information acquisition device 31 can be vision class device such as camera or 3D vision camera, and the treater is through the contrast that will shoot the image and prestore the image and judge the tool to lock classification, and tool to lock information acquisition device 31 can also be other laser class sensors such as laser scanner or laser radar, and identification system's treater or dismouting system are through the information contrast with prestore the information that will acquire, discerns the tool to lock type.

In one embodiment, in the unlocking area 100 and the locking area 200, the lock information collecting device 31 has a plurality of lock information collecting devices, specifically, the lock information collecting devices 31 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the automatic dismounting device 12, and the lock information collecting devices 31 can be connected to the automatic dismounting device 12, for example, a mechanical arm, or disposed on one side of the automatic dismounting device 12, and are used for identifying locks on a container which is already at a preset dismounting position.
