Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship loading and unloading, and in particular to a material temperature control system and method for a grab ship unloader. Background Art
[0002] Grab ship unloaders are essential equipment for bulk cargo loading and unloading operations at ports. They are widely used at various terminals for the efficient unloading of various bulk cargoes such as ore and coal, providing key support for the transshipment and transportation of cargo.
[0003] Existing bulk cargo unloading operations primarily rely on grab ship unloaders to transfer materials from the ship's hold to the dock's belt conveyors. When unloading bulk cargoes like coal, due to the inherent characteristics of these materials and the influence of ambient temperature, heat accumulation can easily occur during closed transport within the ship's hold, and even the occurrence of open flames after the hold is opened. If bulk cargo unloading operations are carried out without effective monitoring, hot or flammable materials will be transported through the grab ship unloader's hopper mechanism and feeding structure to the dock's belt conveyors, posing a series of safety hazards.
[0004] Existing bulk material unloading methods have significant shortcomings in addressing these risks. On the one hand, there is a lack of real-time monitoring measures for material temperatures at key locations along the grab ship unloader's material transport path, such as the ship's hold, hopper, and feed chute. On the other hand, even if temperature anomalies are detected, it is difficult to quickly implement effective physical cooling measures, making it impossible to quickly control material temperature and avoid fire accidents. This greatly limits the safety and reliability of grab ship unloader operations. A system specifically designed for grab ship unloader material temperature monitoring and control is urgently needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0051] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0053] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.
[0054] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The technology, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0055] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction.

[0058] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a material temperature control system for a grab ship unloader, comprising:
[0059] The feeding mechanism is used to receive the materials unloaded by the grab bucket and transfer the materials to the wharf belt conveyor; the feeding mechanism can realize the start, stop and speed regulation functions of the transmission material flow.
[0060] The material temperature monitoring unit, based on infrared thermal imaging technology and temperature sensing element technology, monitors the material temperature in the cabin, hopper, and conveying chute in real time;
[0061] The material temperature control unit uses a physical cooling method such as water spraying to cool down the high-temperature materials in the hopper area and the discharge port of the conveying chute;
[0062] The PLC control unit is used to receive data from the material temperature monitoring unit and control the operation of the feeding mechanism and the material temperature control unit.
[0063] like Figure 2As shown, the feeding mechanism consists of a hopper mechanism 1 and a feeding mechanism 3. The hopper mechanism 1 is a large steel hopper that receives material unloaded by the grab bucket. A material outlet 2 is located below the hopper mechanism 1, through which the material can slide down to the feeding mechanism 3 below the hopper. The hopper sidewall 15 of the hopper mechanism 1 is equipped with a first water spray valve 11 from the material temperature control unit. This first water spray valve 11 sprays water into the hopper interior, physically cooling the material. The first temperature sensing element 7 from the material temperature monitoring unit is installed on the inclined wall below the hopper mechanism 1 for real-time monitoring of the material temperature inside the hopper. The feeding mechanism 3 consists of a vibrating feeder 4 and a conveying chute 5. The vibrating feeder 4 evenly conveys the material that slides down from the hopper material outlet 2 into the conveying chute 5. The PLC module in the PLC control unit controls the vibrating feeder 4 via the Profinet bus, enabling the start, stop, and speed regulation of the feeding flow. The feed chute 5 is used to evenly transfer the material flow to the terminal belt conveyor 6. The inner wall of the feed chute 5 is equipped with a second temperature sensing element 8 from the material temperature monitoring unit for real-time monitoring of the material flow temperature within the feed chute 5. A second water spray valve 12 from the material temperature control unit is installed between the lower portion of the feed chute 5 and above the discharge port of the terminal belt conveyor 6. This second water spray valve 12 sprays water onto the outflowing material, achieving physical cooling of the material.
[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the material temperature monitoring unit consists of an infrared thermal imaging camera and a temperature detection element. The first infrared thermal imaging camera 9 is installed in the middle of the grab unloader boom 16, and the second infrared thermal imaging camera 10 is installed on the side of the front shoulder beam 17. The first infrared thermal imaging camera 9 is used to perform real-time thermal imaging monitoring of the material in the cabin below the boom 16, and the second infrared thermal imaging camera 10 is used to perform real-time thermal imaging monitoring of the material in the hopper below. Once the infrared thermal imaging camera detects that the material temperature in the operating area exceeds the set threshold, it transmits an alarm signal to the PLC module in the PLC control unit via the Profinet bus. The temperature detection element is installed on the lower inclined wall of the hopper mechanism 1 in the feeding mechanism and the inner wall of the feed chute 5, respectively, to monitor the temperature of the material inside the hopper and the feed chute in real time. Once the temperature detection element detects that the material temperature is too high, it transmits an alarm signal to the PLC module in the PLC control unit via hard wiring.
[0065] like Figure 4As shown, the material temperature control unit consists of a water tank 13, a sprinkler pump 14, a first water spray valve 11, and a second water spray valve 12. The water tank 13 and the sprinkler pump 14 are located on the grab ship unloader's feed platform. The water tank 13 stores water for spraying, while the sprinkler pump 14 is controlled by a PLC module within the PLC control unit to provide the required water pressure for spraying. The first water spray valve 11 is mounted on the sidewall of the hopper mechanism 1, and the second water spray valve 12 is installed above the discharge port from the lower portion of the feed chute 5 to the dock belt conveyor 6. These valves can respectively spray water to cool the material inside the hopper and the material flowing out of the feed chute discharge port. The opening and closing of the water spray valves are controlled by the PLC module within the PLC control unit.
[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the PLC control unit consists of a PLC module, a Profinet communication module, a DI module, and a DO module installed in the grab ship unloader's PLC room. The PLC module uses the Profinet bus protocol to receive data from the infrared thermal imaging camera in the material temperature monitoring unit and control the vibrating feeder in the feeding mechanism. The PLC receives data from the temperature sensor in the material temperature monitoring unit through the DI module using hardwiring. The PLC also controls the sprinkler pump and water valve in the material temperature control unit through hardwiring using the DO module.
[0067] like Figure 6 As shown in FIG, a specific control method of a material temperature control system of a grab ship unloader is as follows:
[0068] S1. Start unloading operation and start the material temperature control system of grab ship unloader.
[0069] S2. The sprinkler pump in the material temperature control unit starts to provide water pressure for the sprinkler pipes.
[0070] S3. The material temperature monitoring unit starts real-time monitoring of the material temperature in the cabin, hopper and conveying chute.
[0071] S4. The vibrating feeder in the feeding mechanism starts to feed materials to the wharf belt conveyor.
[0072] S5. In a single operation cycle, when the material temperature monitoring unit detects that the material temperature in the operation area in the cabin is too high, the material temperature monitoring and management system will issue an alarm.
[0073] S6, delay T 船 After the time has passed, the water spray valve on the side wall of the hopper in the material temperature control unit is opened to control the temperature of the material in the hopper. The water spraying working time is T 船控 Where T 船 and T 船控The calculation method is as follows:
[0074] T 船 =H 码头 / V 起升 +S 中 / V 小车
[0075] Among them, T 船 The time required to detect abnormal temperature in the cabin and start temperature control of the material in the hopper, in minutes; H 码头 V is the distance from the dock to the upper stop position of the hoist, in m; 起升 is the maximum operating speed of the lifting mechanism, in m / min; S 中 V is the horizontal distance from the center of the cabin to the center of the hopper, in meters; 小车 It is the maximum operating speed of the trolley mechanism, in m / min.
[0076] T 船控 =60*W 载荷 / (E 额定 *(V 给料 / V 额定 ))
[0077] Among them, T 船控 The duration of the sprinkler spray stability control is in min; W 载荷 is the rated load of the material currently grabbed by the grab, in t; E 额定 is the rated unloading capacity of the grab ship unloader, in t / h; V 给料 V is the running speed of the vibration feeder in the current feeding mechanism, in rpm; 额定 It is the maximum operating speed of the vibrating feeder in the feeding mechanism, in rpm.
[0078] S7. In a single operation cycle, when the material temperature monitoring unit detects that the material temperature in the hopper is too high, the material temperature monitoring and management system will issue an alarm.
[0079] S8. Immediately open the water spray valve on the side wall of the hopper in the material temperature control unit to control the temperature of the material in the hopper until the monitoring result of the material temperature in the hopper by the material temperature monitoring unit returns to normal.
[0080] S9. In a single operation cycle, when the material temperature monitoring unit detects that the material temperature in the conveying chute is too high, the material temperature monitoring and management system will issue an alarm.
[0081] S10. Immediately open the water spray valve at the discharge port of the feeding chute in the material temperature control unit to control the temperature of the material flowing out of the feeding chute until the monitoring result of the material temperature in the feeding chute by the material temperature monitoring unit returns to normal.
[0082] S11. Repeat S5 to S10 in the subsequent ship unloading operation cycle until the ship unloading operation is completed.
[0083] S12: The ship unloading operation is completed and the material temperature control system of the grab ship unloader stops.
[0084] Example:
[0085] Taking the 1800tph grab ship unloader as an example, the control process of the grab ship unloader material temperature control system is explained. Figure 6 As shown: Ship unloading operations begin, the grab unloader's material temperature control system activates. First, the sprinkler pump starts to provide water pressure to the sprinkler pipes. Simultaneously, real-time monitoring of material temperatures in the cabin, hopper, and feed chute is initiated. Then, the vibrating feeder in the feeding mechanism is activated, and material begins to be fed to the dock's belt conveyor.
[0086] During a single unloading operation cycle, once the material temperature in the operating area of the cabin is detected to be too high, the material temperature monitoring and management system will issue an alarm. After a certain delay, the water spray valve on the side wall of the hopper will be opened to spray water on the material in the hopper for a certain period of time to control the temperature. Once the material temperature in the hopper is detected to be too high, the material temperature monitoring and management system will issue an alarm and immediately open the water spray valve on the side wall of the hopper to control the temperature of the material in the hopper until the monitoring result of the material temperature in the hopper returns to normal. Once the material temperature in the feed chute is detected to be too high, the material temperature monitoring and management system will issue an alarm and immediately open the water spray valve at the discharge port of the feed chute to control the temperature of the material flowing out of the feed chute until the monitoring result of the material temperature in the feed chute returns to normal. Repeat the above monitoring and management until the unloading operation is completed.
[0087] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
