When the belt conveyor does not bear materials, the belt on the belt conveyor is in a horizontal state, and the vertical to the belt conveyor refers to a plane where the belt on the belt conveyor is located when the materials are not placed.

And respectively connecting the first contour point sets according to coordinates, sequentially connecting the second contour point sets according to coordinates, and fitting the point sets into a first contour line and a second contour line. The first contour line represents the upper end convex part of the material on the belt conveyor and is an irregular curve, the second contour line represents the belt drooping part of the belt conveyor caused by bearing the material, and the second contour line is a circular arc line segment.
In some embodiments of the present application, the coordinate system may be established by the belt feeder material volume measurement system in combination with the industrial personal computer using some functions in Matlab.
As an embodiment herein, calculating the material cross-sectional area according to the first contour line and the second contour line comprises:
dividing a region formed by the first contour line and the second contour line into a plurality of small regions;
calculating the areas of a plurality of small regions;
and adding the areas of the small areas to obtain the cross-sectional area of the material.
In this step, the area formed by the first contour line and the second contour line can be regarded as an area formed by the belt conveyor and the material on the belt conveyor. Specifically, the second contour line may be regarded as an arc line segment, and the second contour line may be divided into a plurality of small arc line segments according to a fixed interval, each of the small arc line segments corresponding to one small region in a region formed by the first contour line and the second contour line. Therefore, the region composed of the first contour line and the second contour line can be divided into a plurality of small regions according to a fixed interval. The area of the whole area, namely the material section area, can be obtained by dividing the area into a plurality of small areas, respectively calculating the areas of the small areas, and finally summing the areas of the small areas.
As an embodiment herein, said calculating a plurality of said small region areas further comprises:
and calculating the area of each small region according to the side length of two parallel sides of each small region, the width of each small region and the thickness of the belt.
In this step, the width of the small area is preset by the system, and may also be determined according to the amount of material actually carried on the belt conveyor. The belt cross section has a certain thickness, so that the belt thickness needs to be removed in a calculation formula when the area of each small region is calculated, and the area of each small region is further determined. For a detailed description of two parallel sides of each small region, the width of each small region, and the like in this step, reference may be made to fig. 6.

wherein dy1Indicates the length of an edge in the small area, dy2Indicating the length of another parallel edge in the small area, d0Representing the belt thickness, dx is the width of each small zone.
In this step, each small region can be regarded as an approximate trapezoid, and the area of each small region is calculated by using the formula, so that certain calculation accuracy can be ensured.
As an embodiment herein, calculating the volume of the material transported by the belt conveyor in the predetermined time period according to the cross-sectional area of the material calculated in the predetermined time period includes calculating the volume of the material transported by the belt conveyor in the predetermined time period by using the following formula:

wherein V is the volume of the material, t0-t1In a preset time period, S is the cross section area of the material, and v is the movement speed of a belt on the belt conveyor.
In this step, the time intervals of the predetermined time period may be set in advance by the system, or may be determined according to the actual working conditions of the belt conveyor and the line laser measuring device. For example, the time interval of the predetermined period is usually set to 0.001 second, 0.05 second, 0.01 second, or the like. In some embodiments of the present description, the two time points before and after the predetermined period of time are closely spaced, e.g., t01 st second, t11.001 second; t is t0At 5 th second, t1Is at 5.05 second, t0At 8 th second, t18.01 seconds, etc.
In the step, the speed of the belt conveyor in normal operation is 3-4 m/s, the moving speed of the belt conveyor and the preset time period are combined, and the integral is accumulated for the preset time period, so that the horizontal distance of the material moving in the moving direction of the belt conveyor can be determined. Furthermore, the product of the cross section area of the material and the horizontal distance of the material moving in the moving direction of the belt conveyor can determine the volume of the material passing through the belt conveyor in a preset time period.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a first contour line and a second contour line according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Step 501, unifying the first contour point set and the second contour point set into a coordinate system.
In the step, the upper line laser measuring device and the lower line laser measuring device are arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the belt conveyor in an aligned mode, or the line laser measuring devices are arranged so that the straight line where the upper line laser measuring device and the lower line laser measuring device are located is perpendicular to the belt conveyor. The first contour point set obtained by the laser projected by the upper line laser measuring device and the second contour point set obtained by the laser projected by the lower line laser measuring device can be mapped into the same coordinate system without coordinate transformation. The laser measurement results of the upper line laser measurement device on the materials can be unified into the lower line laser measurement device, and the laser measurement results of the lower line laser measurement device on the materials can also be unified into the upper line laser measurement device. For example, a two-dimensional plane coordinate system is established with the belt cross section as the X-axis direction and the opposite direction of the belt sagging direction as the Y-axis. For example, the belt cross section is taken as the X-axis direction, and the belt sagging direction is taken as the Y-axis. The present application is not limited to the determination of the coordinate system.
In some embodiments of the present application, the coordinate system may be established by the belt feeder material volume measurement system in combination with an industrial personal computer using some functions in Matlab.
In other embodiments of the present description, the coordinate system is not limited to a two-dimensional coordinate system, and the coordinate system includes, but is not limited to, a planar polar coordinate system, a cylindrical coordinate system, and a spherical coordinate system. Further, the coordinate system may be a three-dimensional coordinate system, a four-dimensional coordinate system, or the like. When the coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system, the first contour point set and the second contour point set are three-dimensional point sets; and when the coordinate system is a four-dimensional coordinate system, the first contour point set and the second contour point set are four-dimensional point sets. The form of the coordinate system is not limited by the present application.
Step 502, determining coordinates of each point in the first set of contour points and the second set of contour points in the coordinate system.
In this step, the contour point set is a point set of at least one contour point formed by the line laser measuring device projecting onto the outer surface of the material section, and the contour point set obtained by the line laser measuring device projecting laser is unified into the coordinate system established in step 501, that is, the coordinates of the contour point set can be determined. Specifically, a first contour point set formed by projecting the upper line laser measuring device on the material section can determine each point coordinate corresponding to the first contour point set in a coordinate system; the second contour point set formed by projecting the lower line laser measuring device to the material section can determine the coordinates of each point corresponding to the second contour point set in the coordinate system.
Step 503, respectively fitting according to the coordinates of each point in the first contour point set and the coordinates of each point in the second contour point set to obtain the first contour line and the second contour line.
In some embodiments of the specification, the first contour line is a contour line formed by the material deposited on the belt from the laser processing projected by the upper line laser measuring device; the second contour line is formed by the fact that a belt obtained by the laser processing of the lower laser measuring device drops due to the accumulation of a large amount of materials. The first and second contour lines may be indicated by dashed lines, see fig. 8 in more detail.
In the step, the belt conveyor material volume measurement system or the industrial personal computer fits the coordinates of each point in the first contour point set and the second contour point set through software. The fitting method includes, but is not limited to, fitting a plurality of points in the contour point set to a contour line by using a least square method based on a function for realizing a regression analysis function in Matlab based on regression, Polyfit, Lsqcurvefit and the like.
Fig. 6 is a flow chart illustrating a method for calculating a cross-sectional area of a material according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Step 601, dividing the area formed by the first contour line and the second contour line into a plurality of small areas.
In the step, the area formed by the first contour line and the second contour line represents the cross section area of the material on the belt conveyor. Because the belt may have the condition that the belt feeder shakes and causes the material to drop etc. in the belt removal process, divide into a plurality of width unanimous little regions according to fixed interval the region. Specifically, when the belt conveyor is static, the upper line laser measuring device and the lower line laser measuring device simultaneously measureThe section of the belt conveyor is obtained as the edge point b of the section of the belt conveyor1、b2,b1And b2The two points and the second contour line form an arc line segment. The width dx of the small region is set in the X-axis direction in the coordinate system. The width dx of the small area can be preset by a system and can also be adjusted according to the actual length of a section line of the belt and the accumulation condition of materials on the belt conveyor, and the width dx of the small area is usually a tiny value. In the beginning of1And b2On an arc segment formed by the two points and the second contour line, the arc segment is divided into a plurality of small arc segments according to a fixed interval, and each small arc segment can correspond to one transverse edge of one small area. Taking the width dx of a small area as an example, the left and right end points of the width respectively extend vertically along the Y-axis direction and intersect with the first contour line and the second contour line respectively. Wherein the left point of the fixed interval dx extends upwards along the Y-axis and intersects the second contour line at a point p2Intersects the first contour line at a point p1,p2And p4The formed curve is a small arc segment. The right point of the fixed interval dx extends upward along the Y-axis to intersect the second contour line at a point p4Intersects the first contour line at a point p3。p1,p2,p3,p4The quadrilateral area formed is approximately trapezoidal.
Step 602, calculating the areas of a plurality of small regions.
The area of the small region may be calculated as the area of a trapezoid. Specifically, the area of each small region is calculated from the side length of two parallel sides of each small region and the width of each small region. Furthermore, the transmission belt of the belt conveyor has a certain thickness, when the area of the small region is calculated, the belt thickness is removed from the side lengths of the two parallel sides of the small region, and then the area of the small region is calculated. Wherein, the area of the small region can be determined by the small region area calculation formula (1):

in the formula (1), dy1To representLength of one side in a small area, dy2Indicating the length of another parallel edge in the small area, d0Representing the belt thickness, dx represents the width of each small zone; according to the small region area calculation formula, the area of the small region can be determined.
Step 603, summing the area of each small area to obtain the cross-sectional area of the material.
In this step, along b1And b2And the arc line section of the belt section formed by the two points and the second contour line is further divided into a plurality of small arc line sections according to a preset fixed interval, a small area corresponding to each small arc line section is calculated by using a formula (1), and the area of the section of the material is determined by adding and accumulating by using an integral principle.
