Background
At present, no effective accurate measurement method exists for the hoisting control of the containers of the gantry cranes in the field. The alignment of the container truck and the gantry crane hanger depends on manual visual inspection of a driver, and when the hanger descends to approach the container, the driver repeatedly moves the truck according to the positions of the visual inspection hanger and the container, so that the loading and unloading speed is reduced. When a container on the truck-collecting flat car is hoisted by a gantry crane, the lock head of the truck-collecting flat car is not completely unlocked, and the truck-collecting flat car and the truck head are hoisted together, so that safety accidents are caused. The invention patent of patent No. 20171016396.3 discloses a laser-based anti-lifting detection system and method, which adopts a vertical scanning method to scan the container contour, the system can not work normally under the interference of rain and snow, and the lifting alarm height error can not meet the design requirement. Patent No. 201720963617.2's utility model patent "automatic loading and unloading operation is automatic to be case and prevent the method of hoisting" adopts the cloud platform to drive the rotatory method of laser scanner and measures the tapered end, because scanner angle error is big, and the reliability is poor.
Disclosure of Invention
The laser scanner is arranged in the side surface of the gantry crane, the hoisting process of the gantry crane for hoisting the container is controlled by a crane box loading signal, a crane lock opening and closing signal and a crane height signal, the laser scanner detects the lane, the side surface of the container on a container yard and the gap between the container truck and the container, the alignment of the container truck, the hoisting pressure-proof headstock and the hoisting control are realized, meanwhile, whether an obstacle exists on the lane is detected, and the gantry crane is prevented from colliding with an adjacent container or the obstacle.

Laser scanner inside has the laser scanning controller, and laser scanner links to each other with the controller, and the controller links to each other with PLC.
When the heavy-load container truck enters the lane, the data of the container on the truck horizontally scanned by the laser is calculated by the controller and is provided for the PLC to control the position of the lifting appliance, and the lifting appliance is aligned with the position of the container on the truck and is accurately positioned. Realize container truck location according to laser scanner horizontal scanning, show location information in the position that the driver of truck can see, provide truck locate function, the striking of hoist and adjacent container when preventing the handling container.
The container on the truck is hoisted by the gantry crane, if the lock head on the truck flat car is not completely rotated and opened, the lock hole of the container is still hooked, and the flat car can be taken up by the container. The controller comprehensively links and analyzes the opening and closing lock signal and the box falling signal of the lifting appliance according to the laser scanning information and the lifting appliance height signal, controls the lifting process and realizes the lifting prevention function. When the container is lifted by the gantry crane from the container truck, and the lifting appliance is in the container state, the signal of the lifting appliance in the container state is '0', and the height of the lifting appliance at the moment is recorded. When the container is lifted by the lifting appliance, the container lifting signal of the lifting appliance is changed into '1', when the lifting appliance reaches the set lifting-prevention height, the laser scanner horizontally scans the connecting part of the bottom of the container and the collection truck, if the lock is not completely unlocked, the laser scanner detects the lock signal, the system controls the lifting appliance to forbid upward movement, and the truck is prevented from being lifted. If the laser scanner does not detect the lock signal, the lifting appliance can continue to move upwards for lifting, and the lifting prevention function is realized.
When an empty container truck enters a lane, a support is installed on a certain height of the side surface of a gantry crane, a laser scanner is installed on the support to perform horizontal scanning, the laser scanner performs horizontal scanning on a lock head on the truck through lifting adjustment, a lock head signal on the truck is provided for a controller to be calculated, accurate positioning is performed on a lock hole of a container under a lifting appliance and the lock head on the truck, and automatic container handling of a lifting container is achieved.
When the container truck enters the lane, the laser scanner scans horizontally to scan and position the head of the container truck, so that the lifted container is prevented from being pressed to the head, the PLC controls the lifting appliance to stop descending when a collision trend is detected, and a stop signal is sent out. And when the container truck moves, controlling the lifting appliance to prohibit downward movement according to the laser scanner information and the lifting appliance height signal, and reminding a driver of the container truck.
In order to prevent the faults of the laser scanner and the controller, the PLC is controlled by using the system heartbeat principle to send out an alarm signal.
And in the process of the gantry crane advancing, the plane of the stacked containers is measured according to the laser horizontal scanning, so that the functions of the gantry crane in walking deviation correction and cart positioning are realized. Meanwhile, the laser scanner detects obstacles such as pedestrians, vehicles and the like on the lane, and prevents the gantry crane from colliding with the obstacles or adjacent containers.
The laser scanners can be arranged on two sides of the gantry crane respectively, the functions of systems on the two sides are the same, and the laser scanners can be switched to use when lane directions are changed.
Due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the invention has the beneficial effects that: the automatic container loading and unloading device solves the problem of anti-hoisting detection of container trucks outside the automatic wharf, prevents the container trucks from being hoisted, eliminates potential safety hazards, and improves the production efficiency of hoisting and loading and unloading containers by the container gantry crane of the field automatic wharf.
