The following detailed description of embodiments of the present application will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating embodiments of the application, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
It should be noted that, if directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) \8230;) are referred to in the embodiments of the present application, the directional indications are only used for explaining the relative positional relationship between the components, the motion situation, and the like in a specific posture (as shown in the attached drawings), and if the specific posture is changed, the directional indications are correspondingly changed.
In addition, if there is a description of "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present application, the description of "first", "second", etc. is for descriptive purposes only and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, technical solutions between the respective embodiments may be combined with each other, but it is necessary that the technical solutions are capable of being implemented by a person having ordinary skill in the art, and when the technical solutions are contradictory to each other or cannot be implemented, such a combination should not be considered to exist, and is not within the protection scope claimed in the present application.
In the application of some large or even ultra-large tower cranes, especially in the application of walking (for example, crawler type) tower cranes (for example, in the scenes of nuclear power, bridges, fan installation and the like), the weight of the balance weight for matching the lifting load on the lifting load and the balance arm side is very large, and in the lifting process of the tower crane, the moment change on the balance arm side is large, and the moment acting on the tower body is also very large. In order to ensure safety, it is desirable to improve the ability of the tower to resist bending moments, such as increasing the size of the tower. However, in the actual tower structure design, it is impossible to increase the volume and weight of the tower without limitation, which means that higher demands are made on the moment balance on both sides of the upper balance arm and the boom.
Fig. 1 schematically shows a schematic structural diagram of a tower crane according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the tower crane may include a tower body 110 and a top loading device, which may rotate around the tower body 110 (e.g., a slewing gear of the tower body). The upper assembly may include a balance arm 120, a lift arm 130, a fixed counterweight 140, and a moving counterweight 150. The fixed counterweight 140 may be fixed at the balance arm side, e.g., may be fixed at the distal end of the balance arm 120 (i.e., away from the tower crane center of gyration). The upper assembly may be provided with a guide rail (not shown) extending from the balance arm side to the jib side, along which the movable counterweight 150 can move. The boom 130 can be provided with a luffing trolley 160 and a slide rail for the luffing trolley 160 to move (luffing), and the luffing trolley 160 can be connected with the hook 170 through a lifting rope.
Fig. 2 schematically shows a flow chart of a control method for a tower crane according to an embodiment of the application. The control method shown in fig. 2 may be applied to the tower crane shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present application, the control method may include the following steps.
In step S210, hoisting object information of the object to be hoisted is obtained, where the hoisting object information may include at least the weight and the hoisting position of the object to be hoisted.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the application, the weight and the lifting position of the object to be lifted which are determined in advance can be obtained. In one example, the weight of the object to be hoisted can be obtained in a machine vision mode. For example, a mark can be attached to the object to be hoisted, the mark is printed with the weight information of the object to be hoisted, an image of the mark can be obtained, and the weight information of the object to be hoisted can be obtained through semantic recognition. In another example, a pre-planned hoisting task may be obtained, which may include information such as the weight of the object to be hoisted and a hoisting path. In yet another example, the hoisting position can be obtained by detecting the amplitude of the amplitude variation trolley (i.e., the distance of the amplitude variation trolley from the center of rotation of the tower crane along the jib). In yet another example, the hoist position may be obtained based on positioning technology (e.g., RTK).
In step S220, the moment to be applied to the tower crane by the object to be hoisted is determined according to the weight and the hoisting position of the object to be hoisted.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, after the weight and the lifting position of the object to be lifted are obtained, a distance (i.e., a moment arm) between an action line of a force applied by the object to be lifted to the crane boom and a rotation center of the tower crane can be determined according to the lifting position, and a moment (hereinafter, may be referred to as a first moment) that the object to be lifted will act on the tower crane can be obtained according to the weight and the moment arm of the object to be lifted.
In step S230, a pre-equilibrium position of the moving counterweight is determined based on the first moment.
Specifically, fig. 3A and 3B schematically illustrate a change in position of a moving counterweight when determining a pre-balancing position of the moving counterweight in a control method for a tower crane according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3A and 3B, in the embodiment of the present application, when the tower crane is in an empty hook state (fig. 3A), i.e., when the object to be hoisted is not hoisted, the movable counterweight 310 may be located at an initial position (position a) on the boom side, and at this time, the moment of the boom side relative to the tower body (e.g., the center of rotation of the tower crane) and the moment of the boom side relative to the tower body (e.g., the center of rotation of the tower crane) are in a moment balance state. In one example, the moment balance state may be that the moment of the boom side relative to the tower body is equal to the moment of the boom side relative to the tower body. In another example, the moment equilibrium state may be that the total moment of the upper mount may be slightly biased toward the boom side, such that the upper mount has a tendency to tilt slightly forward (i.e., toward the boom side). That is, the moment of the boom side relative to the tower body is slightly larger than the moment of the counterweight side relative to the tower body. For example, the total moment of the loader does not exceed the rated moment of the tower crane, and may be, for example, 5% to 30% of the rated moment. Here, the rated torque may refer to a maximum lifting torque of the tower crane set according to a safety design requirement. In general, the rated torque should be smaller than the limit torque of the tower crane, where the limit torque may be the minimum torque that can cause the tower crane to overturn.
If the object to be hoisted is hoisted by the tower crane, the first moment is added on the side of the hoisting arm, and the moment balance state is broken. To reach the moment equilibrium again, the movable counterweight can be moved from the initial position on the jib side to the counterweight arm side until the pre-equilibrium position (position B) is reached. In an example, the pre-equilibrium position may be determined according to the following manner.
Assuming that the hoisting arm side and the balance arm side reach a moment balance state after the object to be hoisted is hoisted, the formula (1) is satisfied:
M l +M j =W c L+M b + Δ M formula (1)
Wherein M is l Is the suspension load moment, M j Is the moment of the boom, W c Is the weight of the movable balance weight, L is the distance from the movable balance weight to the rotation center of the tower crane, M b Is the balance arm and the fixed balance weight moment, and Δ M is the set forward tilt moment. If the moment on the counterweight arm side and the moment on the jib side are required to be equal, Δ M may be equal to zero.
In the formula (1), M j ,M b And Δ M is a determined value, and M l Satisfies formula (2):
M l =M d +W d formula (2)
Wherein M is d Is a first moment, W d The total weight of the amplitude variation trolley, the lifting rope and the lifting hook is l, and the distance from the amplitude variation trolley to the rotation center of the tower crane is l. Due to the total weight (namely W) of the luffing trolley, the lifting rope and the lifting hook d ) Can be predetermined, l can be determined according to the lifting position of the object to be lifted, so M can be determined l
Equation (1) can be rewritten as:
L=(M l +M j –M b –Δm)/W c
l can thus be obtained.
After determining L, a pre-equilibrium position of the moving counterweight can be determined based on L.
In step S240, the mobile counterweight is controlled to move from the boom side to the pre-equilibrium position.
In particular, in the embodiments of the present application, the upper casing may be provided with a driving mechanism for driving the moving counterweight to move along the guide rail. In one example, the drive mechanism may include a motor, a reducer, a brake, a drum, and a pulley block. The motor may comprise, for example, a stepper motor or a servo motor. The motor can be connected with the winding drum through a speed reducer and is used for driving the winding drum to rotate. The reel may have a pull cord wound thereon, one end of the pull cord may be connected to one side of the movable counterweight and the other end may be connected to the other side of the movable counterweight through the pulley block. The brake is used to brake (slow down or stop) the drum. The reciprocating motion of the movable balancing weight on the guide rail is realized by driving the winding drum to rotate forwards or backwards through the motor.
After determining the pre-equilibrium position, the distance that the moving counterweight will move from the initial position to the pre-equilibrium position (i.e., L + L) may be determined inl Wherein L is inl The distance from the initial position of the movable balance weight to the rotation center of the tower crane), the control driving mechanism drives the movable balance weight to move the distance along the guide rail, and the movable balance weight reaches the pre-balance position. By an electric motorFor example, after determining the distance to be moved by the moving counterweight from the initial position to the pre-equilibrium position, the processor may convert the distance into an angular displacement to be operated by the stepper motor, and output a corresponding control signal to the motor to drive the motor to rotate the angular displacement. In one example, a position sensor (e.g., an encoder or a distance-measuring sensor) may be provided to detect the distance the moving counterweight has moved to provide closed-loop control of the movement of the moving counterweight. The movable balance weight is pre-adjusted to the pre-balance position before the tower crane lifts, so that the time for moving the movable balance weight in the lifting process can be saved, and the lifting efficiency is improved.
If the weight of the object to be hoisted is smaller, the self structure of the tower crane is enough to bear the moment applied by the object to be hoisted, and the position of the movable counterweight does not need to be adjusted. Fig. 4 schematically shows a flow chart of a control method for a tower crane according to another embodiment of the present application. The same reference numerals are used in fig. 4 for the same steps as in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 4, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, the control method may further include the following steps.
In step S410, the first torque is compared with the set safety torque. Specifically, the set safety torque may be set according to actual design requirements. Generally, the set safe torque does not exceed the rated torque of the tower crane. In one example, the set safe torque may be 20% to 60% of the maximum torque. In the case where the first torque is larger than the set safe torque, the step of determining the pre-equilibrium position of the moving counterweight based on the first torque is performed (step S230).
In step S420, the moving counterweight is held at the initial position in the case where the first torque is smaller than the set safe torque.
In some applications, it may be desirable for safety reasons that the moment of the top-loading of the tower crane relative to the tower (or the centre of rotation of the tower crane) in the hook-free state (i.e. without lifting the load) does not exceed a set value, and correspondingly that the movement of the mobile counterweight to the side of the counterweight arm does not exceed a set position. Fig. 5 schematically shows a flow chart of a control method for a tower crane according to another embodiment of the present application. The same reference numerals are used in fig. 5 for the same steps as in fig. 3 or 4. As shown in fig. 5, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, the control method may further include the following steps.
In step S510, determining whether a distance between the pre-equilibrium position and the tower is greater than a distance between the set safety position and the tower;
in step S520, when the distance between the pre-equilibrium position and the tower body is greater than the distance between the set safety position and the tower body, the movable counterweight is controlled to move from the crane boom side to the set safety position.
And controlling the movable balance weight to move from the lifting arm side to the pre-balance position if the distance between the pre-balance position and the tower body is smaller than the distance between the set safety position and the tower body (namely, the pre-balance position does not exceed the set safety position).
In particular, the maximum moment of the tower crane on the top in the hook-free state (maximum moment on the boom side) can be determined. The maximum torque does not exceed the rated torque of the tower crane. For example, in one example, the maximum torque may be 20% to 40% of the rated torque. The set safe position can then be determined according to equation (3). When the tower crane moves the balance weight to the set safety position in the hook-free state, the loading moment can be the maximum moment.
M max +M j =W c L+M b Formula (3)
Wherein M is max Is the maximum moment, M j Is moment of the boom, W c Is the weight of the movable balance weight, L is the distance from the movable balance weight to the rotation center of the tower crane, M b Is a balance arm and fixes a balance moment of gravity.
The distance L from the movable balance weight to the rotation center of the tower crane can be obtained according to the formula (3), namely, the set safety position can be determined. The control of the movement of the moving counterweight to the set safe position may be performed in the same manner as the control of the movement of the moving counterweight to the pre-equilibrium position, and will not be described further herein.
After the moving counterweight is moved to a target position (e.g., a pre-equilibrium position or a set-safe position), a hoisting operation is allowed. In an application scenario, the control method of the above embodiment may be executed by a tower crane controller of a tower crane. In other application scenarios, the control method of the above embodiment may be executed by an entity other than the tower crane controller. In an example, the control method may be performed by a separate processor. In this case, the processor may communicate with the tower crane controller (e.g. via a communication module). After the movable balance weight is moved to the target position, the processor can send a signal for allowing the lifting operation to the tower crane controller, and the tower crane controller can send a prompt for allowing the lifting operation after receiving the signal (for example, in a sound, light or other modes, or corresponding information is displayed on a display screen in a cab of the tower crane). In another example, the control method may be performed by a cloud management platform. In this case, the cloud management platform may communicate with the tower crane controller. After the movable balance weight is moved to the target position, the cloud management platform can send a signal allowing lifting operation to the tower crane controller, and the tower crane controller can send a prompt allowing lifting operation after receiving the signal (for example, in a sound mode, a light mode or the like, or corresponding information is displayed on a display screen in a cab of the tower crane). In addition, the cloud management platform can also send information (for example, a real-time position) related to the movement of the mobile counterweight to the tower crane controller, and the tower crane controller can display the information through the display screen.
If the movable balance weight moves to the set safety position in the state of no hook, the movement of the movable balance weight can be further controlled when hoisting is started. In particular, in the embodiment of the present application, in the application of a large or even ultra-large tower crane, during the hoisting process, since the weight of the hoisted object may be large, it is desirable to cause as little fluctuation as possible in the loading moment during the process of controlling the movement of the movable counterweight to match the moment. For which a segmented control of the moving counterweight movement can be used.
When a change in the lifting moment is detected (e.g., by a processor), the overall moment of the upper load (including the balance arm and the lift arm) is expected to be within a safe range. A plurality of torque zones may be divided, and each torque zone may be associated with a target position of a moving counterweight. If the lifting moment is within a certain moment interval, the movable balance weight is moved to the corresponding target position, so that the difference between the moment on the lifting arm side and the moment on the balance arm side is as small as possible, and the loaded overall moment is within a safe range (for example, the moment of the balance arm and the lifting arm is balanced, or the loaded overall moment is less than n% of the rated moment, wherein n can be determined according to safety requirements, for example, n =3,5,10,15 and the like). Specifically, when load moment changes and gets into certain moment interval in a plurality of moment intervals, can keep load moment unchangeable, control movable balance weight removes the target location that corresponds with this moment interval, then removes the restriction that changes load moment, when load moment changes to another moment interval, keeps load moment unchangeable again, controls movable balance weight and removes another target location that this another moment interval corresponds. And so on until the hoisting moment is not changed any more.
In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the control method may further include:
in step S610, in the process of lifting an object to be lifted, the lifting moment of the tower crane is monitored;
in step S620, in the case that it is monitored that the lifting moment is increased to a target moment interval of the plurality of moment intervals, the lifting moment is kept unchanged until the movable balance weight is controlled to move to a target position corresponding to the target moment interval;
wherein a moment interval of the plurality of moment intervals corresponds to a target position of the moving counterweight.
Specifically, in this embodiment, in the case where it is detected that the lifting moment is increased to a target moment section among the plurality of moment sections, keeping the lifting moment constant until the movable counterweight is controlled to move to a target position corresponding to the target moment section includes:
when the lifting moment is increased to a first moment interval in the moment intervals, maintaining the lifting moment, and controlling the movable balance weight to move to a first target position corresponding to the first moment interval;
the hoisting moment is continuously increased;
when the lifting moment is increased to a second moment interval adjacent to the first moment interval in the moment intervals, maintaining the lifting moment and controlling the movable balance weight to move to a second target position corresponding to the second moment interval;
wherein the first target position is further away from the tower than the set safe position.
Specifically, in one example, the weight applied to the boom by the hoists can be detected by a weight detection device. For example, an example of the weight detecting device may include a load cell, which may be provided at the hook, for detecting the weight of the hoisted object. The moment arm of the gravity of the hoisted object relative to the rotation center of the tower crane (the position of the rotation center of the tower crane is known) can be determined by detecting the amplitude of the amplitude-variable trolley (namely the distance of the amplitude-variable trolley from the rotation center of the tower crane along the cargo boom) through a position sensor (such as a rotary encoder or a pull wire sensor), and the moment of the hoisted object can be determined according to the weight of the hoisted object and the moment arm. The hoisting load of the tower crane can comprise the sum of the weight of the hoisted object and the weight of the lifting hook and the lifting rope, and the weights of the lifting hook and the lifting rope can be predetermined, so that the hoisting load (hoisting load) can be obtained by obtaining the weight of the hoisted object, and the hoisting load moment (hoisting moment) can be obtained according to the hoisting load and the force arm. In another example, the lifting moment may be measured directly by a torque sensor.
In the embodiment of the present application, the plurality of torque sections may be continuous torque sections. A plurality of torque intervals can be divided according to the rated torque and the set safety position of the tower crane. Specifically, in one example, as described above, assuming that the top-loading total moment is 20% of the rated moment when the movable balance weight is in the set safe position in the hook-free state and tends toward the balance arm side (i.e., such that the balance arm tends to tilt downward), if the top-loading total moment is allowed to tend such that the maximum moment on the crane arm side does not exceed 30% of the rated moment, the movable balance weight can be controlled to move from the set safe position toward the distal end of the balance arm (i.e., away from the tower body) again when the lifting moment exceeds 50% of the rated moment. Thus, the plurality of torque intervals may comprise a first torque interval: [50% rated torque, 75% rated torque), second torque interval: [75% rated torque, 100% rated torque), the third torque interval: [100% rated torque, 110% rated torque), and a fourth torque interval: more than or equal to 110 percent of rated torque. In this example, the limit torque may be 120% of the rated torque. After determining the torque intervals, a target position corresponding to each torque interval may be determined. The target position may be determined in the same manner as the safe position is set, i.e., a torque value is selected from the torque interval, and the position where the moment value is generated by moving the counterweight is determined according to the torque value, i.e., the target position in the torque interval. When the lifting moment exceeds the rated moment, the movable counterweight can be prohibited from moving for safety.
Due to the large weight of the moving counterweight, its inertia is also large. In order to be able to accurately control the movement of the moving counterweight to the target position (e.g. the pre-equilibrium position) without giving a large impact to the pulling rope due to its large inertia, a speed control strategy for the moving counterweight may be added.
In the preferred embodiment of the present application, the speed control strategy for moving the counterweight can be determined based on the distance that the counterweight is moving significantly.
Specifically, the moving counterweight may be controlled to accelerate to a speed, and then a distance (displacement) traveled by the moving counterweight at the set acceleration from the speed to zero may be determined based on the speed and the set acceleration, and when the moving counterweight moves at the speed to a distance different from a target position (e.g., a pre-equilibrium position), the moving counterweight may be controlled to begin decelerating at the acceleration (e.g., control a brake or motor brake), and when the speed of the moving counterweight decreases to zero, the moving counterweight may stop at the target position.
In order to minimize the time consuming moving of the moving counterweight, a set maximum pulling force to be applied by the pulling rope (i.e. a pulling force to be applied by the pulling rope not exceeding the set maximum pulling force) and a maximum allowable speed for moving the counterweight may be set. According to the relation of force, mass and accelerationF = ma, and a = F/m. Since F (set maximum pull) and m (moving-counterweight mass) are already determined values, the maximum acceleration ± a (i.e., the maximum allowable acceleration of the moving counterweight (positive sign for acceleration and negative sign for deceleration)) is also known. Let the maximum allowable speed be v max Then, there is formula (4):
Figure BDA0003850371630000121
wherein t is 2 Is the time that the mobile counterweight is moving at the maximum allowable speed,/ 1 Is the displacement of the moving counterweight from zero acceleration to the maximum allowable speed,/ 2 Is the position at which the movable counterweight moves at a uniform speed at the maximum allowable speed, l 3 Is the displacement of the moving counterweight from the maximum allowable speed deceleration to zero.
Suppose the distance of the important movement of the balance is L, if L>l 1 +l 3 It can be determined that the moving balance weight can be controlled to accelerate (acceleration a) to the maximum allowable speed v max Then at a distance l from the target position (e.g. pre-equilibrium position) 3 Can be driven from the maximum allowable speed v max Decelerating to zero (acceleration of-a). In this case, the moving time of the moving counterweight is short using the speed control strategy.
If L is<l 1 +l 3 It means that the distance of the important movement of the moving balance is not enough for the moving balance to accelerate to the maximum allowable speed v with the acceleration a max And then decelerates to zero with acceleration (-a) to just reach the target position (e.g., pre-equilibrium position). Thus, in this case, moving the counterweight may have a process of first accelerating and then decelerating. Suppose that the moving counterweight is first accelerated to a velocity v, the acceleration being a 1 A distance of movement l 1 Then there is
Figure BDA0003850371630000122
Moving the counterweight from velocity v at acceleration-a 2 Decelerated to zero and moved over a distance l 2 Then there is
Figure BDA0003850371630000123
Wherein l 1 +l 2 L. Suppose | a 1 |=|a 2 If | = | a |, then there are
Figure BDA0003850371630000124
Figure BDA0003850371630000125
l 2 And (5) = L/2. In this case, the moving-counterweight may be controlled to accelerate at an acceleration a to a velocity v and then decelerate at an acceleration-a to zero, and/or to begin decelerating at an acceleration-a when it is determined that the moving-counterweight is at a distance L/2 from a target position (e.g., a pre-equilibrium position).
Fig. 7 schematically shows a flow chart of a control method for a tower crane for controlling the movement of a moving counterweight according to an embodiment of the present application. In the preferred embodiment, controlling the moving of the moving counterweight to the target position may include the following steps.
In step S710, a distance (first distance) of the movement balance important movement is determined according to the target position;
in step S720, determining a deceleration distance that the moving-counterweight needs to move when decelerating from the maximum allowable speed to zero at the first maximum allowable acceleration based on the maximum allowable speed of the moving-counterweight and the first maximum allowable acceleration;
in step S730, it is determined whether the deceleration distance is less than half of the distance to be moved;
in step S740, in the case where the deceleration distance is less than half the distance that needs to be moved, controlling the moving counterweight to accelerate from zero to the maximum allowable speed at a second maximum allowable acceleration, the first maximum allowable acceleration being equal to the second maximum allowable acceleration in absolute value;
in step S750, the moving-counterweight is controlled to decelerate from the maximum allowable speed to zero at a first maximum allowable acceleration in the case where the moving-counterweight has moved the deceleration distance from the target position;
in step S760, the moving counterweight is controlled to accelerate from zero to a predetermined speed at the second maximum allowable acceleration and then decelerate to zero at the first maximum allowable acceleration in the event that the deceleration distance is greater than or equal to half the distance to be moved, or the moving counterweight is controlled to accelerate from zero at the second maximum allowable acceleration and decelerate to zero at the first maximum allowable acceleration when the moving counterweight has moved half the distance to be moved.
In the embodiment of the present application, the target position may be a pre-equilibrium position or a set safety position.
In an embodiment of the application, the re-determined velocity may be the square root of the absolute value of the product of the first maximum allowed acceleration and the distance that needs to be moved.
In an embodiment of the present application, the maximum allowable speed may be associated with the first torque.

In an example, a plurality of torque intervals may be set, each torque interval being associated with a maximum allowable speed, and after determining the first torque, it may be determined which torque interval it belongs to according to the determined first torque, and the maximum allowable speed corresponding to the belonging torque interval is the required (interested) maximum allowable speed.

In an embodiment of the present application, a cloud management platform may include the processor. In this case, the cloud management platform may communicate with the tower crane controller.

In addition, the cloud management platform can also send information (for example, a real-time position) related to the movement of the mobile counterweight to the tower crane controller, and the tower crane controller can display the information through the display screen.
