Definitions

  • the ergonomically designed user interface of the touch screen allows the crane operator to optimally observe the actions of the automatic and, if necessary, intervene in a simple and secure manner.
  • the MMI touchscreen also instructs the crane operator by visual and possibly acoustic messages. This optimally facilitates the interplay between automatic and manual operation.
  • Crane operators who are often used on different cranes with different automation system, according to the invention need to work through before working with an automated crane no manual for the automatic operation more.
  • the reading of operating instructions is unpopular with the crane operators and is therefore often omitted.
  • the crane operator relies on his memory. The result is that mistakes are made.
  • the crane operator can switch the automatic mode on or off.
  • the touchscreen indicates in the top line of Fig. 1 by green envelope of the respective display area, which was selected with this external switch.
  • the containers are not conveyed directly to the respective destination by the automatic system, but are brought to a stop at the stopover position.
  • This stopover position is located on the land side below the crane.
  • the customs seal control of the containers is carried out and / or the automatic twistlocks are inserted or removed in the bottom of the containers.
  • the automatic system transports the container to the actual destination.
  • the crane operator tells the automatic how many rows of containers are to be processed in the ship's bay. He can increase or decrease the number of rows using the pushbuttons labeled "more” or “less”.
  • the display field between the two push buttons shows how many rows he has set.
  • the operator of the automatic transmission can tell whether the bow of the ship lying in front of him to the left or right of him located. With this information, together with the information about the number of rows in the bay, the automatic system can correctly enter the numbering of the container positions on the ship in the picture according to FIG. Details can be found in the explanation of FIG. 2.
  • the crane operator of the automatic control via a suitable push button pretend that a container was unloaded or recorded on the ship or on the land side.
  • the purpose is to enable toggling the target between ship side and land side even if there is no ship on which containers could be loaded or unloaded. This function is necessary because crane operators first have to train without a ship before starting the handling operation with an automatic system.
  • the crane operator taps on the button "to the side automatic mode" bottom right in Fig. 1 and thus reaches the actual working side of FIG. 2.
  • the picture is essentially divided into three parts.
  • the right side of the lower half shows the land side of the crane.
  • the left part of the lower half shows the operating data which the crane operators must be able to control permanently.
  • the crane frame is shown in gray color and the quay edge in the lower right corner.
  • the white triangles in the crane frame represent arrowheads. They turn green when moving the trolley in the respective direction. The same applies to the arrowheads in the vertical crane leg when the load is moved in the direction of lifting or lowering.
  • the small white rectangles in front of the arrowheads turn red when the cat or hoist reaches the respective limit switch.
  • the number of rectangles corresponds to the number of rows in the bay, which the crane operator made in the basic settings in FIG. 1 for "Number of rows in the bay".
  • a white highlighted display field In the middle of the rectangles is a white highlighted display field. This shows the number of the series according to international standardization. Rows on the starboard side of the ship are provided from the ship's center to the outside with ascending odd numbers. The rows on the port side of the ship are numbered from the center of the ship to the outside with ascending even numbers. If the ship has an odd number of rows, then the middle row carries the number 0. However, if the number of rows in the respective ship bay is even, then the number 0 is omitted.
  • the computer assigned to the touchscreen carries the numbers into the display fields in the Rectangles, according to the number of rows in the bay and the fact that the bow of the ship is on the right, so the starboard side is at the quay, or vice versa. As a result, the crane operator has the direct assignment between his loading plans and the display on the touchscreen.
  • the container rectangles also show the crane operator which target the automatic will approach next.
  • the border around the number field inside the rectangles then undergoes a color change from gray to light blue, when the automatic is the next destination for the next automatic drive Direction ship has determined.
  • the interior of the row number display panel may also turn light blue. This color change marks the last destination targeted by the automatic system.
  • the crane operator has the orientation between the previous destination and the next destination of the automatic rides.
  • the computer assigned to the touchscreen calculates the next destination depending on whether horizontal or vertical handling is selected or whether unloading of the ship or loading operation of the ship is present. In vertical mode, this will again be the same destination as the last started. For horizontal unloading, it is a bit further down the land side than the previous destination. For horizontal loading, the next target is a row further towards the water side opposite the last target.
  • the crane operator moves the load over the ship to the desired height and presses this touch button. This altitude is then taken as the target altitude for the future automatic rides. It can be redefined on all subsequent trips by pressing this button again.
  • the text on the touch key changes to "Enter current container row". This process takes place only on the first trip to the ship. Due to the geometric data, the automatic calculates the probable row which corresponds to the current position and indicates this by changing the color of the respective rectangle to yellow. If, however, the automatic system has incorrectly calculated this first approached series, the crane operator can correct this by pressing the "+” or "-” key and confirm the result by pressing the touch button (see Fig. 5). For all subsequent journeys, the touch key again bears the text "Input target height ship". Thus, the crane operator can correct the target height above the ship on each trip, if desired.
  • This touch key shown in green in the picture according to FIG. 2 with the text "unlocked", becomes visible only when "training mode” has been selected in FIG.
  • This function deceives the automatic attaching and re-hanging a container, so the locking and unlocking before. Then the switches Automatic the goals between land and water side.
  • "Unlocked” is represented by a color change to green, while the state Locked by a color change is displayed to be red.
  • the touch button thus assumes either green or red color. Touching changes the state from locked to unlocked and vice versa (see Fig. 6).
  • the land side of the crane is shown in the image of FIG. 2 in the lower right quarter of the image.
  • the crane frame is stylized and the quay.
  • the touch key to switch to the page "Basic Settings" (as shown in FIG. 1).
  • the triangular arrows and limit switch bar for the cat and hoist movement and reaching the limit switch, as already described in 2.1.2 and 2.1.3.
  • the cat's position is marked by a red rectangle at the top right of the luffing jib. This rectangle moves with the movement of the cat over the crane boom and jumps on reaching the water side of the crane on the crane boom in the upper part of the picture. When returning to the land side, the red rectangle jumps back onto the shore-side boom section.
  • the horizontal message bar in the middle of the picture informs the crane operator about all states of the automatic crane system: Status display colour flash normal operation Currently running process yellow No Automatic demands action from the crane operator Action to take yellow Yes disorder Designation, possible cause (s), necessary corrective measures orange Yes warning Name, possible cause (s), possibly required measures red Yes
  • the optical signals are supplemented by announcements of texts.
