As shown in fig. 1, the intelligent loading system 1 includes a profile scanning device 2, a bin 3, a discharging device 4, and a control device 5. The bin 3 is used for containing materials; the discharging device 4 is arranged in the stock bin 3, and the discharging device 4 is used for discharging materials in the stock bin 3; the contour scanning device 2 is arranged above the bin 3, and the contour scanning device 2 is used for acquiring the three-dimensional contour of the upper surface of the material in the bin 3; the control device 5 is electrically connected with the contour scanning device 2 and the discharging device 4, and the control device 5 is used for controlling the discharging device 4 to discharge materials in the storage bin 3 according to the contour scanning device 2.
In some embodiments, the material in the silo 3 may be bulk material or aggregate of the same size, such material being common in cement plants or mixing plants. Common materials are crushed stone aggregates with the same nominal particle size, or sands of the same grade.
In some embodiments, the profile scanning apparatus 2 may scan the material in the silo 3 to obtain a three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the material in the silo 3. The control device 5 can determine the weight of the material in the silo according to the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the material in the silo 3. For example, before the materials in the silo 3 are discharged, the initial volume of the materials can be determined according to the three-dimensional profile of the initial upper surface of the materials in the silo 3, and the initial weight of the materials in the silo can be obtained by multiplying the obtained initial volume of the materials by the average density of the materials. After the materials in the bin 3 are discharged, the volume of the remaining materials can be determined according to the three-dimensional contour of the upper surface of the remaining materials in the bin 3, and the weight of the remaining materials in the bin is obtained.
In other embodiments, the control device 5 may discharge the material in the silo 3 at least once based on the amount to be discharged until the accumulated discharge amount satisfies the preset condition, wherein the accumulated discharge amount is determined according to the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the material in the silo 3. Specifically, the accumulated discharge amount is obtained according to the initial weight of the material in the bin 3 and the weight of the material remaining in the bin 3 after each discharge, and the weight of the material remaining in the bin 3 after each discharge is determined according to the three-dimensional contour of the upper surface of the material in the bin 3 after each discharge. Specifically, the remaining materials in the bin 3 after each discharge can be scanned by the profile scanning device 2, and then the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the materials in the bin 3 after each discharge is obtained. Compare in the three-dimensional profile of the material of having loaded on the collection charging car, the scheme that this embodiment provided does not receive the restriction of various motorcycle types, only needs to adopt the three-dimensional profile of the interior material of collecting silo can obtain the discharge volume, calculates more accurately.
In some embodiments, the emptying device 4 is located in the lower part of the silo 3, the emptying device 4 being arranged for physically controlling the dispensing of material in the silo 3.

Fig. 2 illustrates another intelligent loading system provided according to an embodiment of the utility model.
As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the intelligent loading system 1 may further include a loading data obtaining device 6.

In some implementations, the loading data acquisition device 6 may be a card reader, which is typically mounted on the side of the loading bay entrance where the driver is located. The loading factory generally issues a loading card to a truck driver, wherein the loading card is a loading area pass, and basic information such as a license plate of a vehicle, vehicle weight recorded at an entrance of the factory area, nuclear load capacity, requested loading weight, total weight of export cargos and the like is recorded in the loading card. The loading data acquisition device 6 can effectively verify the legality of the loading transaction and the loading information by reading the information in the loading card.
In some embodiments, the amount to be discharged may be a requested charge amount or a permitted discharge amount. Preferably, the amount to be discharged is a permitted discharge amount. Wherein the permitted discharge amount may be determined from the initial weight of the material stored in the silo 3. Wherein the determination from the initial weight of the material stored in the silo 3 may be that the minimum of the requested charge and the initial weight of the material stored in the silo is taken as the permitted discharge for the current vehicle. For example, the requested charge amount of the current vehicle is 15 tons, the initial weight of the stored material in the bunker is 11 tons, and since the initial weight of 11 tons is less than the requested charge amount of 15 tons, in order to prevent empty discharge, it is determined that the discharge amount is permitted to be 11 tons.
In other embodiments, the minimum of the requested charge and the charge limit of the vehicle may be taken as the current vehicle's permitted charge. Wherein the charge limit of the vehicle is equal to the core load of the vehicle minus the weight of the vehicle. For example, the current vehicle weighs 9 tons, the nuclear load weighs 20 tons, and the requested load amount is 15 tons. The limit of the loading of the vehicle is 11 tons by subtracting the weight of the vehicle from the nuclear loading. Since the loading limit of the vehicle is 11 tons less than the requested loading 15 tons, in order to prevent the vehicle from being overloaded, the permitted discharge amount (i.e., the amount to be discharged) of the current vehicle is determined to be 11 tons.

With further reference to fig. 2, the intelligent truck-loading system 1 may also, alternatively or additionally, comprise a densitometry device 7. The density measuring device 7 is used for measuring the material density of the finished material area, and the density measuring device 7 is electrically connected with the control device 5 and transmits the material density to the control device 5 to calculate the material weight. Wherein the material in the silo 3 comes from the finished product material area. The density measuring device 7 can obtain the density of the material in the storage bin 3 by measuring the density of the material in the finished product material area.
In some implementations, the densitometry device 7 may be a manual measuring device, but may also be a semi-automatic or fully automatic device. The density measuring device 7 measures the bulk density of the product material. Therefore, in the process of measuring the density of the finished material, the material in the finished material area needs to be flattened and compacted, and the average value can be obtained after multiple measurements. In some implementations, the same batch of finished material may be measured only once.
The control device 5 can determine the initial volume of the material according to the three-dimensional profile of the initial upper surface of the material in the bin 3, and multiply the initial volume of the material by the density of the material determined by the density determination device 7 to obtain the initial weight of the material in the bin 3.
The control device 5 can also determine the volume of the residual materials in the bin 3 after each discharging according to the three-dimensional contour of the upper surface of the residual materials in the bin 3 after each discharging, and multiply the volume of the residual materials in the bin 3 after each discharging by the material density measured by the density measuring device 7 to obtain the weight of the residual materials in the bin 3 after each discharging.
In this embodiment, the control device 5 may determine the current accumulated material discharge amount according to the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the storage bin 3 before and after material discharge and the material density, which are acquired by the profile scanning device 2. Compared with the scheme of determining the weight of the placed material by collecting the three-dimensional contour of the placed material on the vehicle, the method and the device are not limited by the type of the vehicle when the three-dimensional contour of the material is obtained, and only the three-dimensional contour of the material in the storage bin (with a fixed shape) needs to be collected, so that the scanning range is more concentrated, the shape of the material is less deformed (limited by the storage bin), and the obtained calculation result is more accurate.
With further reference to fig. 2, alternatively or additionally, the intelligent truck-loading system 1 may further comprise an injection device 8. Annotate material device 8 and be used for annotating the material of finished product material district in feed inlet department to feed bin 3 from feed bin 3, annotate material device 8 electricity and connect controlling means 5 to controlling means 5 is still used for annotating the material to feed bin 3 according to profile scanning device 2 control annotates material device 8 and annotate the material to preset height (for example 3 m). In some embodiments, the control device 5 controls the profile scanning device 2 to monitor the material level in the silo 3, and controls whether the injection device 8 injects the finished product into the silo 3 according to the material level. When the height of the material in the bin 3 is lower than a preset height (for example, 3m), the control device 5 controls the injection device 8 to start injecting the finished product. When the height of the material in the silo 3 reaches a preset height (for example, 3m), the control device 5 controls the material injection device 8 to stop injecting the finished product.
In some embodiments, the injection device 8 injects the product material from the upper opening of the silo 3, and the profile scanning device 2 scans the three-dimensional profile of the material in the silo 3 from the upper opening.
In the embodiment of the utility model, the profile scanning device 2 positioned above the bin 3 can realize the real-time monitoring of the height of the materials in the bin 3.

The profile scanning device 2 is positioned in the middle of the feeding hole, so that the whole upper surface profile of the material in the bin can be scanned conveniently. The periphery of the output end of the material injection device 8 close to the feeding hole is beneficial to reducing dust generated in the material injection process, and the output end of the material injection device and the periphery of the feeding hole are separated by a certain distance, so that the measurement error caused by the fact that the dust shields the contour scanning device is relieved.
With further reference to fig. 2, alternatively or additionally, the emptying device in the intelligent loading system 1 may further include a dust hood 9, a lifting driving mechanism 10, an emptying valve 11, and an emptying hopper 12. The discharging valve 11 is arranged at the discharging port of the stock bin 3 and used for opening and closing the discharging port. The lifting driving mechanism 10 is in power coupling connection with the discharging hopper 12 and is used for driving the discharging hopper 12 to move up and down relative to the storage bin, so that the discharging hopper can be lifted to a specified height as required. Dust cover 9 sets up around the export of blowing hopper 12 lower part, prevents that the material from transferring and forming the raise dust. The control device 5 is electrically connected with the emptying valve 11 and the lifting driving mechanism 10.
The discharging valve 11 is directly connected with the lower opening of the storage bin 3 and is controlled by the control device 5 to open and close. In some embodiments, a stirring device 15 is disposed at the lower opening of the bin 3, and the stirring device 15 is electrically connected to the control device 5 and is used for stirring the materials in the bin 3 before, during and after discharging, or before, during and after injecting the finished materials from the upper opening of the bin 3 by the injection device 8 so as to make the materials in the bin 3 relatively uniform at various positions. The stirring device 15 may be a stirrer, for example, and when the material injection device 8 injects the finished material, the newly injected finished material can be uniformly spread in the silo 3 under the stirring action of the stirrer; when the emptying device 4 is used for emptying, materials in the storage bin 3 can be orderly placed down from the emptying device 4 under the stirring of the stirrer.
With further reference to fig. 2, alternatively or additionally, the intelligent loading system 1 further comprises a discharge platform 14. The bin 3 is arranged on the discharging platform 14; and/or, the upper end of feed bin 3 is uncovered up to form the feed inlet of feed bin 3, and the lower extreme of feed bin 3 is uncovered down, in order to form the discharge gate of feed bin 3. Optionally, the emptying platform 14 is mounted at a predetermined height, for example 5.5m, from the loading space. The upper part and the lower part of the storage bin 3 are opened and are arranged on the discharging platform 14. In some embodiments, the holding platform 14 may be a steel structure platform or a second floor of a double-deck building. Preferably, the preset height of the placing platform can enable the charging car to pass through the lower part of the placing platform, for example, the height of the placing platform from the ground is 5.5 m.
With further reference to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the profile scanning apparatus 2 can include a scanning unit and a soot cleaning mechanism for cleaning the scanning unit. In some embodiments, the scanning unit is a lidar. Lidar refers to measuring the distance of a light source to an object by emitting a pulsed laser to the object and then detecting the time of flight of the pulses reflected from the object. In a lidar, a transmitter emits a beam of light; scanning the light beam in the target scene through a scanning device (such as a scanning mirror); light returning from the object is then collected by an optical collection element and directed to a sensor to generate a signal; finally, the sensor sends a signal to the controller for further analysis by the controller to obtain information about the object (e.g., distance, orientation, altitude, speed, shape parameters). The laser radar is an industrial measurement and control sensor, and can accurately measure the height of materials. In the present embodiment, the shape parameter (upper surface three-dimensional profile) of the material in the silo 3 is obtained by using the laser radar. In some embodiments, the profile scanning device 2 includes a laser radar, a dust cleaning device for cleaning the light emitting portion of the laser radar, and a scanning motor for driving the laser radar to rotate and scan within a predetermined angle range (e.g., 360 °). As the finished product is charged into the silo 3 by the charging device 8, dust may be generated. The dust cleaning device in the profile scanning part can effectively clean the laser radar, reduce possible measurement errors and realize all-weather full-automatic charging.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the intelligent loading system further includes a guiding device, and the guiding device guides the user to move the vehicle. Optionally, the guidance means comprises an acousto-optic guidance system for guiding and prompting the driver to move the vehicle during the loading of the vehicle.
According to the intelligent loading system provided by each embodiment of the utility model, the material discharge weight is determined through the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the material in the material bin, compared with the whole vehicle weighing technical scheme, the intelligent loading system is simple in construction and low in cost, and the automation level of vehicle loading is improved.
In order to better understand the working principle and mode of the intelligent loading system provided by the embodiment of the utility model, a control method of the intelligent loading system is also provided, and the following description is provided with reference to fig. 3 to 6.
Fig. 3 shows an exemplary functional framework diagram of a control system that executes the intelligent charging control method of the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the system framework comprises a profile scanning device 301 and a control device 302. The profile scanning device 301 is configured to scan a target to obtain three-dimensional information of the target (e.g., a three-dimensional profile of an upper surface of a material in a bin). Illustratively, the contour scanning device 301 may be a laser radar unit, but may also be a monocular vision unit or a monocular stereoscopic vision unit. The control device 302 may be an electronic device capable of providing computing or application services. Illustratively, the control device 302 includes, but is not limited to, a server, a microprocessor, a desktop computer, a portable computer, and the like.
The profile scanning device 301 and the control device 302 may interact with each other through a medium of a communication link, such as a wired, wireless communication link, or fiber optic cable.
Fig. 4 illustrates an exemplary flowchart of a control method of an intelligent loading system according to some embodiments of the present invention, including the following steps:
step 401: obtaining the three-dimensional profile of the initial upper surface of the material in the feed bin to determine the initial weight of the material in the feed bin. In some implementations, the profile scanning device 301 of fig. 3 is mounted above the bin to scan the material within the bin to obtain an initial upper surface three-dimensional profile of the material within the bin. Further, the control device 302 of fig. 3 may determine the initial weight of the material in the hopper based on the three-dimensional profile of the initial upper surface of the material. For example, the initial volume of the material may be determined according to the three-dimensional profile of the initial upper surface of the material, and the initial weight of the material in the bin may be obtained by multiplying the initial volume of the material by the average density of the material.
Step 402: and discharging the materials in the material bin at least once based on the amount of the materials to be discharged until the accumulated amount of the materials meets the preset condition.
In some implementations, the control device 302 in fig. 3 may control the corresponding emptying device to perform at least one emptying of the material in the silo based on the amount to be emptied until the accumulated emptying amount meets the preset condition.
The accumulated material discharge amount is determined according to the initial weight of the materials in the storage bin and the weight of the materials left in the storage bin every time, and the weight of the materials left in the storage bin every time is determined according to the three-dimensional contour of the upper surface of the materials left in the storage bin every time.
Specifically, the profile scanning device 301 in fig. 3 may be used to scan the material left in the storage bin each time, so as to obtain the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the material left in the storage bin each time. Further, the control device 302 of fig. 3 can determine the weight of each remaining material in the silo according to the three-dimensional contour of the upper surface of each remaining material. For example, the volume of each time of remaining materials can be determined according to the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of each time of remaining materials, and the weight of each time of remaining materials in the storage bin can be obtained by multiplying the volume of each time of remaining materials by the average density of each time of remaining materials.
In some implementations, the amount to be discharged may be a requested charge amount or a permitted discharge amount. Preferably, the amount to be discharged is a permitted discharge amount. The permitted material discharge amount can be determined according to the overload bearing capacity of the vehicle and the initial weight of the material stored in the storage bin. Wherein, the determination according to the initial weight of the material stored in the bin means that the minimum value of the requested charging amount and the initial weight of the material stored in the bin is taken as the permitted discharging amount of the current vehicle. For example, the requested charge amount of the current vehicle is 15 tons, the initial weight of the stored material in the bunker is 11 tons, and since the initial weight of 11 tons is less than the requested charge amount of 15 tons, in order to prevent empty discharge, it is determined that the discharge amount is permitted to be 11 tons.
In the present embodiment, by setting the permitted discharge amount to be determined by the overload bearing amount of the vehicle, it is possible to achieve prevention of the vehicle from being overloaded; by setting the permitted discharge amount to be determined by the initial weight of the material stored in the bin, abnormal situations such as mistaken discharge, empty discharge and the like can be avoided.
In some embodiments, the preset condition is that the difference between the accumulated material discharge amount and the material amount to be discharged is less than a preset threshold value; or the preset condition is that the ratio of the accumulated material discharge amount to the material amount to be discharged is within a preset range. The predetermined threshold is, for example, 0.1 ton, and the predetermined range is, for example, more than 99%.
According to the control method of the intelligent loading system provided by the embodiment, the material discharging weight is determined through the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the material in the material bin, compared with the technical scheme of weighing of the whole vehicle, the control method is simple in construction and low in cost, and the automation level of vehicle charging is improved.
Fig. 5 shows an exemplary flowchart of a control method of an intelligent loading system according to another embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:
The control device 302 in fig. 3 may acquire, among other things, the input requested charge amount, the weight of the vehicle, the nuclear load amount of the vehicle, and the like. Wherein the charge limit of the vehicle is equal to the core load of the vehicle minus the weight of the vehicle. Alternatively, the control device 302 of fig. 3 may directly acquire the input charge amount limit value.
The minimum value of the requested charge amount and the charge amount limit value of the vehicle can be taken as the amount of the current vehicle to be discharged. Wherein the charge limit of the vehicle is equal to the core load of the vehicle minus the weight of the vehicle. For example, the current vehicle weighs 9 tons, the nuclear load weighs 20 tons, and the requested load amount is 15 tons. The limit of the loading of the vehicle is 11 tons by subtracting the weight of the vehicle from the nuclear loading. Since the limit of the charge amount of the vehicle is 11 tons less than the requested charge amount of 15 tons, in order to prevent the vehicle from being overloaded, the amount of the material to be discharged of the current vehicle is determined to be 11 tons.
And step 504, discharging the materials in the material bin at least once based on the quantity to be discharged until the accumulated discharge quantity meets the preset condition.
In some embodiments, emptying the material in the silo at least once based on the amount to be emptied comprises: and discharging the materials in the material bin for multiple times based on the amount to be discharged, wherein the multiple times of discharging can be performed at the same or different preset discharging speeds, discharging amounts or discharging times.
Specifically, the multiple discharging may include one or more of the following modes: a coarse discharging mode, discharging a first discharging amount at a first discharging time or a first discharging speed; discharging in a fine discharging mode for a second discharging time or a second discharging speed by a second discharging amount; and approving the discharging mode, and discharging the third discharging amount at a third discharging time or a third discharging speed. The first discharging amount is larger than the second discharging amount, and the second discharging amount is larger than the third discharging amount.
The discharge rate may be fixed or adjustable depending on the setting of the discharge valve. When the discharging speed is fixed, the discharging time can be estimated according to the discharging amount, so that each discharging is controlled according to the discharging time.
In some implementations, the emptying valve may include a plurality of gears, with different gears corresponding to different degrees of openness, and thus to different emptying speeds. When the discharging speed is adjustable, different discharging speeds can be selected according to different discharging modes. For example, a first discharging speed is selected in a rough discharging mode, a second discharging speed is selected in a fine discharging mode, and a third discharging speed is selected in an approved discharging mode, wherein the first discharging speed is greater than the second discharging speed, and the second discharging speed is greater than the third discharging speed. By setting the adjustable discharging speed, the discharging speed can be increased when the materials are roughly discharged, and the loading time is shortened; and the discharging speed is reduced when discharging is approved, so that the discharging amount is more accurately controlled.
The control device can design a discharging scheme according to the amount of materials to be discharged, the discharging scheme comprises discharging times and discharging modes of each time, and the discharging mode comprises each discharging amount, each discharging speed or each discharging time. In one implementation, a combination of coarse and fine emptying may be used in the early and middle stages, while an approved emptying method is used in the later stage, especially the last emptying. For example, three times of discharging can be included, wherein the first time is rough discharging, the second time is fine discharging, and the third time is approved discharging; or the first time and the second time can be both coarse emptying, and the third time is approved emptying. Through providing multiple different blowing modes, can select suitable blowing mode to make up to realize that quick blowing combines together with accurate blowing.
In some embodiments, when a discharging scheme of discharging for multiple times is adopted, before each time of discharging, the current discharging amount can be determined based on the previous accumulated discharging amount; the time duration of the current discharge is then determined based on the current discharge amount and the discharge speed (e.g., an estimated fixed speed or a preconfigured speed). And then the materials in the storage bin can be discharged according to the current discharging time. And finally, determining the current accumulated discharge amount according to the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the residual materials in the storage bin after the current discharge.
In some embodiments, some emptying preparation work can be included before emptying.
In one implementation, an initial height within the bin may be obtained prior to emptying; and if the initial height is smaller than the first height threshold, filling the materials into the bin until the height of the materials in the bin is larger than the second height threshold. Through the height of monitoring the interior material of feed bin before the blowing to add the feed bin to predetermined height when needs, can improve loading efficiency, avoid annotating the material to the feed bin temporarily when the loading and the time that increases.
Alternatively or additionally, the density of the material may be measured prior to discharge. This density may be communicated to the control device for use by the control device in subsequent weight calculations.
In order to facilitate understanding of aspects of the embodiments described herein, fig. 6 shows an exemplary flowchart of a control method of an intelligent loading system provided according to the embodiments described above.
As shown in fig. 6, the intelligent loading system may be initialized in S601, for example, by measuring the material density of the product material area using a densitometry device. In S602, the material level of the silo may be monitored and filled to a predetermined level. For example, the profile scanning device may monitor the height of the material within the bin and activate the filling device to fill the bin with material to a desired height when the material height is below a preset height threshold.
Next, in S603, the loading data acquiring device determines whether a loading event has occurred. If there is no charging event, the process returns to S602, and if there is a charging event, the process proceeds to S604.
In this embodiment, before the loading event, the control device controls the profile scanning device to monitor the material height in the bin, and controls whether the material injection device injects the finished material into the bin according to the material height. When the height of the material in the bin is lower than a preset height (for example, 3m), the control device controls the material injection device to start to inject the finished product. When the height of the material in the storage bin reaches a preset height (for example, 3m), the control device controls the material injection device to stop injecting the finished product material. The finished product material filling operation is completed in the idle time of the charging event, so that the idle time can be fully utilized, the charging time of the charging car is short, and the charging efficiency is improved.
Next, in S604, the loading data acquiring means may acquire specific information of the loading event. Such information may include information such as the weight of the charge car, the nuclear load weight, and the requested charge weight. This information may be transmitted to the control device. For example, a truck loader driver may enter information at the truck loading data acquisition device, such as by swiping a load card, submitting a load of 9 tons, a core load of 20 tons, and a request load of 15 tons.
Then, in S605, the control device may determine a charging schedule of the current charging event, including the weight to be discharged and the number of times of discharging i (i ═ 1,2,3, … n) of the current charging car, and the expected discharge amount per discharging.
For example, continuing with the above example, the control device may determine the permitted empty weight as 11 tons by subtracting the weight of the charge car from the nuclear load weight. Since the discharge permitted weight is 11 tons less than the requested charge weight 15 tons, the control device determines the discharge weight to be 11 tons in order to prevent the vehicle from being overloaded. This ensures at the source that the charging car is not overloaded onto the road in the local area.
Aiming at the current charging event, the control device can count 3 times to discharge and load 11 tons of materials, wherein the first time of rough discharge (10 tons), the second time of fine discharge (0.8 tons) and the third time of approved discharge (0.2 tons).
Next, in S606, the discharging is performed in sequence according to the discharging scheme.
Specifically, before the ith discharge, the material in the bin can be scanned by the profile scanning device to obtain the three-dimensional profile A of the initial upper surface, and the initial weight of the material in the bin is calculated according to the three-dimensional profile A.
Then, when the ith discharging is started, the control device can determine the weight and the time length of the current discharging, and control the discharging device to execute the ith discharging according to the discharging time length. The speed of discharging the materials to the vehicle can be fixed, so that the control device can determine the time length of the current discharging according to the quantity of the materials to be discharged and the discharging speed. For example, when the amount of the material to be discharged is 10 tons and the discharging speed is 50kg/s, the control device may calculate the discharging time to be 200s, and further control the storage bin to discharge the material to the vehicle for 200 s. Optionally, the discharging speed is controllable, and the control device may further determine the discharging speed of the current discharging, and thus determine the discharging duration. In the embodiment, the discharging amount is controlled by controlling the time length, so that the discharging process is simplified, the system complexity is reduced, and the cost is saved.
Then, after the ith discharging is finished, the residual materials in the bin can be scanned again through the profile scanning device to obtain the three-dimensional profile B of the upper surface of the residual materials, and the residual weight of the materials in the bin is calculated according to the three-dimensional profile B. From the initial weight and the remaining weight, a cumulative charge (i.e., the initial weight minus the weight of the remaining charge) may be determined.
Next, in S607, the control device may calculate the 1 st to i th cumulative charged amount. In response to the accumulated material discharge amount meeting the preset condition, the material discharge is stopped, and the control method may return to S602, otherwise, the (i + 1) th material discharge is performed. It can be understood that the initial weight of the (i + 1) th discharge is the residual weight of the (i) th discharge, so that the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the material in the bin before the (i + 1) th discharge is not required to be measured. At the beginning of the discharge of the (i + 1) th time, the discharge parameters of the (i + 1) th time, such as the discharge amount, the discharge speed and/or the discharge time, can be adjusted based on the current accumulated discharged amount.
Still taking the foregoing example as an example, the control device performs each discharge in sequence according to a scheme including coarse discharge, fine discharge, and approval of three discharges.
In some implementations, the first coarse feeding is performed at a first preset feeding speed, the second fine feeding is performed at a second preset feeding speed, the third approved feeding is performed at a third preset feeding speed, the first preset feeding speed is higher than the second preset feeding speed, and the second preset feeding speed is higher than the third preset feeding speed. For example, the first preset discharging speed is 100kg/s, the second preset discharging speed is 50kg/s, and the third preset discharging speed is 10 kg/s.
In other implementations, the discharge rate for each discharge is fixed. For example, the discharge speed is an estimated value according to the size of the discharge valve, which is an engineering estimated value and can be roughly calculated in the system calibration stage.
In the first rough discharging, the control device determines that 10 tons of materials are discharged, the discharging speed is fixed, and the time length of the first rough discharging is estimated accordingly. Before the first rough discharging, the profile scanning device carries out three-dimensional profile scanning on the materials in the storage bin, and the volume and the material density are used for measuring and calculating the weight of the materials in the storage bin to be 30 tons. After the first coarse discharging, the profile scanning device carries out the first three-dimensional profile scanning after discharging, and the residual material in the discharging bin is measured and calculated to be 21.5 tons, so that 9.5 tons of material are discharged to a vehicle after the first discharging, and the residual material to be discharged is 1.5 tons.
In the second fine discharging, the control device determines 1.4 tons of discharged materials again based on the remaining amount of the materials to be discharged, and the time length of the second fine discharging is estimated accordingly. And after the second fine discharging is finished, the profile scanning device carries out second three-dimensional profile scanning, and the residual material in the discharging bin is measured and calculated to be 19.2 tons, 10.8 tons of materials are discharged to the vehicle, and the residual material waiting for discharging is 0.2 ton.
In the third approval discharging, the control device determines 0.2 ton of discharging based on the remaining amount to be discharged, and the discharging time for the third approval is estimated accordingly. And after the discharging is approved for the third time, carrying out three-dimensional profile scanning for the third time by the profile scanning device, and measuring and calculating that the residual materials in the discharging bin are 19.08 tons and 10.92 tons of materials are discharged to the vehicle. The difference between the material waiting amount of 11 tons and the accumulated material amount of 10.92 tons is smaller than the set threshold (for example, 0.1 ton), and the charging event is ended.
In the embodiment, by combining the coarse discharging and the fine discharging, the discharging speed can be increased, the discharging precision can be ensured, and the discharging efficiency is greatly improved.
In conclusion, the intelligent loading system provided by the embodiment of the utility model determines the material discharge weight through the three-dimensional profile of the upper surface of the material in the material bin, and compared with the technical scheme of weighing the whole vehicle, the intelligent loading system is simple in construction and low in cost, and improves the automation level of vehicle loading.
