The deep-excavation starting button is electrically connected with the PLC, and outputs an electric signal to the PLC when the deep-excavation starting button is started, so that the PLC controls a motor driving shaft of a winch of a supporting mechanism to rotate to lower a supporting steel wire rope according to a specified signal output by a material selection knob or a deep-excavation adjusting knob, so that a grab bucket is lowered to a material surface to be grabbed, and meanwhile, the PLC controls the motor driving shaft of the winch of an opening and closing mechanism to rotate to lower an opening and closing steel wire rope until the grab bucket is opened to a specified opening angle;
The automatic grabbing start button is connected with the PLC through a data transmission line and is used for starting and closing the automatic grabbing action of the grab bucket, and concretely, when the automatic grabbing start button is started, the PLC controls the winch motor driving shaft of the supporting mechanism to rotate to lower the supporting wire rope so as to gradually lower the grab bucket to the material level to be grabbed, meanwhile, the PLC controls the winch motor driving shaft of the opening and closing mechanism to rotate to lower the opening and closing wire rope until the grab bucket is opened to the position where the current specified regulation value of the deep digging regulation knob corresponds to the specified opening angle;

The automatic grabbing has the advantages that in the operation process of the door machine, the tightness state of the 4 steel wire ropes can be always kept the same as the previous state when the grab bucket descends to the material surface each time, namely, the initial state is the same when the grab bucket grabs goods each time, the follow-up control modes are the same, the grabbing amount is the same, the error of each grabbing amount is reduced, and the stability of the optimal operation efficiency is ensured.
Based on the control system for the grabbing amount of the grab bucket of the gantry crane, the control method for realizing quantitative and efficient grabbing operation on different materials comprises the following specific implementation steps:
The method comprises the steps of (1) determining a suitable opening angle of a grab bucket corresponding to a material to be grabbed by utilizing manual adjustment:
The method comprises the steps that a door operator rotates a material selection knob to a gear matched with a material to be grabbed according to the type of the material, and starts a deep-excavation starting button, wherein the deep-excavation starting button sends grabbing signals to a PLC (programmable logic controller) at the moment, the PLC controls a winch motor driving shaft of a supporting mechanism to continuously rotate forward to lower a supporting steel wire rope, when the PLC collects a grab bucket weight value transmitted by an overload system to be 0, the grab bucket is indicated to be lowered onto the material surface, the PLC controls a winch motor driving shaft of the supporting mechanism to stop rotating, in the process, the material selection knob inputs a specified signal to the PLC, and the PLC controls the winch motor driving shaft of an opening and closing mechanism to rotate forward for a specified number of turns according to the specified signal, so that the grab bucket is opened to a specified opening angle corresponding to the current gear of the material selection knob;
step 2, a driver of the portal crane manually controls a driving shaft of a winch motor of the opening and closing mechanism to reversely rotate, the winch motor lifts up to tighten the opening and closing steel wire rope to a specified length, and the grab bucket returns to a closed state; then, the crane driver manually controls the winch motor driving shaft of the supporting mechanism to reversely rotate, and lifts up the two opening and closing steel wire ropes until the grab bucket leaves the material surface;
Step 3, if the weight value of the grab bucket does not reach or exceed the maximum operation capacity of the gantry crane in the step 2, a gantry crane driver carries out left-hand adjustment or right-hand adjustment on a deep-excavation adjusting knob based on a reference adjusting value displayed by a display screen so as to finely adjust the rotation circle number of a winch motor driving shaft of an opening and closing mechanism and further adjust the appointed release length of an opening and closing steel wire rope;
Repeating the step 2 and the step 3 until the opening angle of the grab bucket reaches a proper opening angle correspondingly according to the adjusting value of the deep-excavation adjusting knob, namely the material grabbing amount of the grab bucket under the opening angle reaches the maximum operation capacity of the door machine;
and (II) keeping the grab bucket open to a proper opening angle every time of grabbing, and completing material grabbing in an automatic grabbing mode:
the deep digging adjusting knob is kept at the optimal adjusting value, and the automatic grabbing starting button is pressed, at the moment, the four actions of descending, opening, closing and ascending of the grab bucket are automatically controlled by the PLC controller, specifically,
The PLC controls the winch motor driving shaft of the supporting mechanism to continuously rotate in the forward direction, so as to lower the supporting steel wire rope, enable the grab bucket to gradually descend to the surface of the object to be grabbed, and simultaneously, controls the winch motor driving shaft of the opening and closing mechanism to rotate in the forward direction for a specified number of turns, and lower the opening and closing steel wire rope for a specified length, so that the grab bucket is opened to a proper opening angle in the descending process;
when the PLC controller acquires that the weight value of the grab bucket detected by the overload system is 0, the grab bucket is indicated to be lowered onto the material surface, and at the moment, the PLC controller controls a motor driving shaft of a winch of the opening and closing mechanism to reversely rotate for a specified number of turns, so that the wire rope is lifted up and closed to a specified length, the grab bucket is completely closed, and the material grabbing is completed;
The PLC controls a winch motor driving shaft of the supporting mechanism to continuously rotate reversely, the supporting steel wire ropes are lifted up, when the numerical value difference transmitted by the opening and closing mechanism displacement sensor and the supporting mechanism displacement sensor is 0, the rope difference between the two opening and closing steel wire ropes and the two supporting steel wire ropes is 0, and at the moment, the grab bucket is lifted up to the safe height, and the grabbing action is completed;
And then the grab bucket is manually operated by a door operator to transport and grab the material to the appointed destination position.
In the processes of the step (one) and the step (two), the PLC calculates whether the rope difference between the supporting steel wire rope and the opening and closing steel wire rope exceeds a set threshold value according to the position signals input by the supporting mechanism position sensor and the opening and closing mechanism position sensor so as to judge whether the rope loosening state of the steel wire rope exists, and when the PLC calculates that the rope difference exceeds the set threshold value, the PLC controls the motor driving shaft rotating speed of the supporting mechanism winch or the motor driving shaft rotating speed of the opening and closing mechanism winch according to the current movement speeds of the supporting steel wire rope and the opening and closing steel wire rope acquired by the supporting mechanism speed encoder and the opening and closing mechanism speed encoder.
The grab bucket grabbing amount control system of the gantry crane is firstly installed on a 15# gantry crane of an applicant operation cargo yard and performs material grabbing operation test operation. During the test run, the operation efficiency of the 15# gantry crane with the gantry crane grab grabbing amount control system is compared with the average operation efficiency of the 12# to 16# gantry cranes without the gantry crane grab amount control system, and specific test results are shown in the following table 2.
Table 2:
From the comparison data results in table 2, it is seen that in the operation process of the six gantry cranes for operating the same cargo class of the same ship, the operation efficiency of the 15# gantry crane is obviously improved compared with the average operation efficiency of the other five gantry cranes, and the highest efficiency improvement rate can reach 16.70%.
Meanwhile, in the process of test operation, the single-person operation efficiency of six drivers (abbreviated as drivers A-F) specialized in the 15# gantry crane in the operation process after the gantry crane grab grabbing amount control system is installed and the average operation efficiency of all drivers of the cargo yard 12# -16# gantry crane are counted, and specific statistical results are shown in the following tables 3-8.

TABLE 4 statistics of driver B operating efficiency
TABLE 5 statistics of driver C operating efficiency
TABLE 6 statistics of driver D operating efficiency
TABLE 7 statistics of driver E operating efficiency
TABLE 8 statistics of driver F operating efficiency
As can be seen from the statistics of the single operator efficiency data counted in the tables 3-8, compared with the average operator efficiency of all drivers driving the 12# to 16# door machines, the single operator efficiency of the door machine drivers is improved, and the highest efficiency improvement amplitude reaches 15.96 percent
In addition, the door operator grab bucket grabbing amount control system is used for analyzing from the economic angle of an applicant enterprise. From the perspective of saving the grab bucket and realizing the economic value, if the applicant carries out such reconstruction on ten gantry cranes which are used for carrying out bulk cargo operation frequently, the storage of the grab bucket is reduced, and according to the calculation of reducing one grab bucket, each grab bucket is 20 ten thousand yuan, and about 12 grab buckets (10 common and 2 standby) are needed for 10 gantry cranes, so that the cost can be saved by 240 ten thousand yuan. In view of improving the working efficiency and realizing the economic value, if the working capacity is calculated by improving the working capacity by 6%, the working capacity can be improved by 30 ten thousand tons by 10 gantry cranes. The profit per ton is calculated according to 8 yuan, and the economic benefit can be created in one year as 30 multiplied by 8=240 ten thousand yuan.
