The invention discloses a method and a
system for measuring volume and density of a
powder material stack. The volume measuring method includes that N
laser measurement heads are parallelly fixed on a rack above a power material
cart, when the power material
cart is driven to a position right below the rack, the
laser measurement heads are controlled for scanning the surface of the
powder material stack simultaneously according to a preset same frequency to obtain height data of scanning points, and when a
carriage of the power material
cart is driven out of the position right below the rack, the scanning is finished; a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate
system is established, and three-dimensional coordinates of the scanning points are calculated; and by means of a
computer program, the scanning points are subjected to spline interpolation to form a smooth curve, and a curved surface formed by the smooth curve is subjected to double integral to obtain the volume of the
powder material stack in the powder material cart. By means of the method and the
system, field volume data of powder material stacks of
coal and powder materials can be accurately and truly acquired, density data can be further acquired, and a transportation party can be objectively monitored to transport powder materials such as the
coal and the powder materials by legal, safe and standard means.
