Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of detection and the field of engineering machinery, in particular to an on-line detection and anti-overflow control method and system for aggregate grading of an asphalt mixing station.
Background
How the quality of the asphalt mixing plant is, is a key factor influencing the quality of engineering. The flash problem is a serious problem frequently encountered in mixing building production, and is also an important factor for limiting construction progress and construction quality. If the flash phenomenon is slight, the flash material is wasted, the energy consumption is increased, and the yield is reduced; if the flash phenomenon is serious, the intermittent shutdown and ignition startup of the mixing plant are caused, so that on one hand, the stable production and paving are influenced, in particular, the intermittent shutdown of the paver influences the flatness, and on the other hand, the stability of the quality of the asphalt mixture is influenced. The reasons for the flash mainly comprise that the aggregate is unqualified in grading and the aggregate is improperly proportioned.
Aggregate grading is an important parameter for machine-made sand quality management, and the aggregate grading is not up to standard, so that the problems of high water consumption of concrete, large cement (gel material) consumption, poor durability and the like are caused; the porosity is increased, the more the gaps are, the larger the consumption of cement paste is needed, the cohesive force between aggregates is reduced, and the strength of concrete is reduced. The mixture with better grading composition is used, so that on one hand, higher productivity can be ensured in the process of producing asphalt concrete, and on the other hand, the phenomenon of waiting or overflowing of a hot bin caused by unqualified grading of the mixture can be avoided in the production.
The mixing ratio of the aggregate also has obvious influence on the economy and quality of the concrete. The granularity and the grain shape quality of the sand produced by the machine are uneven, and the grading monitoring is very necessary.
The aggregate is used as the main material of asphalt mixture and cement concrete, and accounts for more than 3/4 of the volume and mass of the concrete, and plays a role in skeleton and filling in the concrete. The characteristics of the concrete mixture have important influence on the workability of the concrete mixture, and are mainly reflected in three aspects of flow energy, cohesiveness and water retention. The good aggregate grain size grading reduces the stacking porosity of the concrete, ensures that the concrete has better workability, has good stability and durability, reduces the consumption of cement paste and reduces the cost of the concrete. The aggregate grading is monitored before the concrete is stirred, so that the particle grading of the aggregate meets national or industry standards, and the high-quality and high-performance concrete with higher quality can be obtained.
However, the existing concrete aggregate detection equipment has many problems, such as time and labor waste, sampling detection only, and incapability of truly reflecting the granularity detection data of the aggregate in the actual operation state. And the detection result of the sample often has time lag phenomenon with the actual production state of the concrete aggregate, so that the on-line detection cannot be realized.
Therefore, the method realizes the on-line detection of the grading of the stacked aggregate, and has great significance for monitoring and proportioning the grading of the aggregate, preventing the overflow in the asphalt stirring process and obtaining the concrete with higher quality.

Referring to fig. 2, the on-line detection method for aggregate grading of an asphalt mixing station provided by the invention is based on the aggregate grading control system of the asphalt mixing station, and comprises the following steps:
step 201, an image collector collects images of the manually loaded and screened stacked aggregates and sends the images to the terminal equipment;
step 202, processing the collected stacked aggregate image by a terminal device;
step 203, the terminal equipment performs geometric feature analysis on the processed stacked aggregate image, and calculates the geometric feature of each aggregate particle in the stacked aggregate image; the geometric features comprise a projection perimeter, a projection area and various direction diameters;

Further, the image collector carries out image acquisition to the stacking aggregate subjected to manual loading screening, and the image collector comprises:
setting an image acquisition area; the image acquisition area irradiates to the surface layer of the stacked aggregate in a certain area on the stacked aggregate conveyor belt.
Referring to fig. 3, the processing, by the terminal device, the acquired stacked aggregate image includes:
step 301, converting the collected stacked aggregate image into a gray scale image;
in this embodiment, the gray value of each pixel is calculated by the following formula:
Gray=R×0.299+G×0.587+B×0.114
wherein R, G, B represents the values of the three channels of red, green and blue of the pixel, respectively, and Gray represents the Gray value.
Step 302, carrying out smooth image processing on the image after graying by adopting a median filtering method so as to eliminate noise caused by rough textures on the surfaces of bricks and concrete;
in this embodiment, the median filtering replaces each pixel of the image with a 3 x 3 neighborhood (square area centered on the current pixel) pixel median.
The method specifically comprises the following steps:
the image is copied into a slightly larger image, with the new image being added one row and one column each, up and down and left and right, duplicating the nearest row or column in the original image to fill in the pixels.
And searching each 3X 3 pixel area in the image from left to right and from top to bottom in sequence, and taking the median value among the 9 pixel gray values in the area to replace the gray value of the central pixel of the 3X 3 area.
After all the areas are operated, deleting the added boundary to return the image to the original size.
Step 303, performing threshold segmentation processing on the filtered stacked aggregate image by adopting a Niblack local threshold method based on clustering global threshold improvement, and converting the image into a binary image;
in this embodiment, the surface aggregate is taken as a study object, and the incomplete aggregate in the lower layer is regarded as a background, and the steps specifically include:
a global threshold T1 of the stacked aggregate image after median filtering is obtained by using a clustering global threshold method;
dividing the whole image into nine subgraphs, and solving a local threshold T2 by using a Niblack algorithm for each subgraph;
weighting and summing a threshold value T1 obtained by a clustering method and a threshold value T2 obtained by a Niblack method to obtain a threshold value of each subgraph: t3=αt1+ (1- α) T2, where α represents a weighting coefficient.
Niblack is a common local dynamic thresholding method that can adaptively determine the threshold value in different image regions. However, the Niblack can generate pseudo noise when the aggregate is sparse, and the Niblack local threshold method based on the clustering global threshold improvement can avoid the generation of pseudo noise. Multiple experiments show that the image binarization effect is optimal when alpha=0.4 is taken, and the aggregate contour can be accurately distinguished.
Step 304, performing iterative morphological erosion operation on the stacked aggregate image subjected to the threshold segmentation treatment to separate particles in contact with the image;
step 305, carrying out cavity treatment in the middle of filling particles on the stacked aggregate images subjected to morphological corrosion operation so as to eliminate noise formed by segmenting surface textures of the aggregate particles;
