In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the locking device further comprises a second sensing means 12, the second sensing means 12 being configured to detect whether the object 4 to be locked enters the clamping area. The second sensing mechanism 12 can detect whether the object 4 to be locked enters the clamping area, and when the object 4 to be locked enters the clamping area, the locking mechanism 2 can be operated to close the clamping area. Specifically, the second sensing mechanism 12 may be selected from a plurality of types of sensors, such as a limit switch, an angle sensor, a proximity switch, and a photoelectric sensor, for example, when the second sensing mechanism 12 employs a proximity switch, the detection end of the proximity switch is aligned with the clamping area to detect whether an object enters the clamping area.

The application also provides engineering equipment, and in one embodiment, the engineering equipment comprises the locking device and a remote controller, wherein the remote controller is in communication connection with the controller, and the remote controller is configured to send different control signals to the controller.

Specifically, for example, when the engineering equipment is unmanned picking equipment, when the unmanned picking equipment is required to intervene in work, the clamping mechanism is operated by the remote controller to control the clamping mechanism to be opened so as to allow an object to be locked to enter a clamping area, the object to be locked can be a lifting hook of a crane for transporting the unmanned picking equipment, after the lifting hook is inserted into the clamping area, the clamping mechanism is operated by the remote controller to control the clamping mechanism to be closed so as to prevent the lifting hook from being separated from the clamping area, and then the crane can lift the unmanned picking equipment and transport the unmanned picking equipment to a working position so as to perform subsequent picking work.
