Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering, specifically to a method and system for monitoring concrete production. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in order to slow down the setting rate of ready-mixed concrete during transportation, concrete batching plants often add retarders during the production process to obtain ready-mixed concrete with a lower setting rate. However, the distance between different construction sites and concrete batching plants varies, and the requirements for concrete type and specifications also vary from construction project to construction project. Existing concrete batching plants are difficult to meet the actual needs of different construction units for ready-mixed concrete.

[0003] Therefore, how to meet the needs of different construction sites for concrete of different strengths is a problem that researchers need to study. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for monitoring concrete production, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: Based on the concrete strength requirements of different construction areas, the construction area is divided into different concrete demand areas using a concrete construction area division device, and each concrete demand area is assigned a feature code and feature code verification information.

[0006] Step 2: The construction resource monitoring and planning device generates concrete demand based on the concrete inventory, concrete demand, and concrete consumption rate in the concrete demand area. The concrete demand includes concrete quantity, concrete strength, and remaining time.

[0007] Step 3: The concrete production information collection device is used to obtain the type and quantity of concrete production raw materials based on the concrete quantity and concrete strength in the concrete demand generated by the construction resource monitoring and planning device, generate the concrete unit output based on the remaining time, and generate a vehicle scheduling plan based on the unit output and the capacity of concrete transport vehicles.

[0008] Step 4: Generate a planned route based on the vehicle dispatch plan route planning module. Concrete transport vehicles transport concrete according to the planned route. Based on the transportation information collected by the vehicle transportation information collection device, the planned route is corrected to obtain the corrected planned route for the following vehicles, until the vehicle dispatch plan is completed.

[0009] Step 5: After the concrete transport vehicle arrives at the construction area, the vehicle information identification device identifies the concrete strength being transported, matches it to the concrete demand area, and writes the concrete demand area feature code into the vehicle information collection device. The transport vehicle then enters the construction area and arrives at the concrete demand area. The concrete demand area verifies the feature code in the vehicle information collection device. If the verification is successful, the concrete transport is completed; otherwise, the concrete transport vehicle has entered the wrong concrete demand area, and the warning module issues an alarm message.

[0010] Furthermore, the construction resource monitoring and planning device generates concrete demand based on the concrete inventory, concrete demand, and concrete consumption rate in the concrete demand area, including the following process:

[0011] The difference between the concrete inventory and the concrete demand in the concrete demand zone is obtained. Based on the rate of concrete consumption, the remaining time before the concrete inventory is depleted is calculated. The difference between the concrete inventory and the concrete demand, the concrete strength, and the remaining time constitute the concrete demand. The difference between the concrete inventory and the concrete demand is the concrete quantity.

[0012] Furthermore, based on the remaining time, the unit concrete output is generated, and based on the unit output and the capacity of concrete transport vehicles, a vehicle scheduling plan is generated, including the following processes:

[0013] The difference between the remaining time and the time it takes for the vehicle to arrive at the construction area is the concrete production time, and the ratio of the concrete quantity to the production time is the concrete unit output. If the unit output is greater than the capacity of the concrete transport vehicle, then the number of concrete transport vehicles with a total capacity greater than the concrete quantity is dispatched at one time for concrete transport. If the unit output is less than the capacity of the concrete transport vehicle, then concrete transport vehicles are dispatched sequentially for concrete transport.

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0038] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for monitoring concrete production includes the following steps:

[0040] Step 1: Based on the concrete strength requirements of different construction areas, the construction area is divided into different concrete demand areas by a concrete construction area division device, and each concrete demand area is assigned a feature code and feature code verification information. The verification code information is used to compare the feature code of the concrete demand area with the feature code of the concrete transport vehicle that arrives at the concrete demand area. If they match, a match is made; if they do not match, an early warning is issued.

[0041] Step 2: The construction resource monitoring and planning device generates concrete demand based on the concrete inventory, concrete demand, and concrete consumption rate in the concrete demand area. The concrete demand includes concrete quantity, concrete strength, and remaining time.

[0042] Step 3: The concrete production information collection device is used to obtain the type and quantity of concrete production raw materials based on the concrete quantity and concrete strength in the concrete demand generated by the construction resource monitoring and planning device, generate the concrete unit output based on the remaining time, and generate a vehicle scheduling plan based on the unit output and the capacity of concrete transport vehicles.

[0043] Step four: The vehicle dispatching plan route planning module generates a planned route. Concrete transport vehicles transport concrete according to the planned route. Based on the transportation information collected by the vehicle transportation information collection device, the planned route is corrected to obtain a corrected planned route until the vehicle dispatching plan is completed. The correction of the planned route includes: if the difference between the time taken for departing vehicles to reach the concrete demand area and the estimated time of the planned route is greater than a set difference threshold, the planned route is corrected. Based on the planned route, alternative routes are added for concrete transport vehicles to choose different routes. After the concrete transport vehicles select a route, they send the selected route information to the vehicle dispatching module for monitoring of the concrete transport vehicles.

[0044] Step 5: After the concrete transport vehicle arrives at the construction area, the vehicle information identification device identifies the concrete strength being transported, matches it to the concrete demand area, and writes the concrete demand area feature code into the vehicle information collection device. The transport vehicle then enters the construction area and arrives at the concrete demand area. The concrete demand area verifies the feature code in the vehicle information collection device. If the verification is successful, the concrete transport is completed; otherwise, the concrete transport vehicle has entered the wrong concrete demand area, and the warning module issues an alarm message.

[0045] The construction resource monitoring and planning device generates concrete demand based on the concrete inventory, concrete demand, and concrete consumption rate in the concrete demand area, including the following process:

[0046] The difference between the concrete inventory and the concrete demand in the concrete demand zone is obtained. Based on the rate of concrete consumption, the remaining time before the concrete inventory is depleted is calculated. The difference between the concrete inventory and the concrete demand, the concrete strength, and the remaining time constitute the concrete demand. The difference between the concrete inventory and the concrete demand is the concrete quantity.

[0047] The process involves generating the unit concrete output based on the remaining time, and then generating a vehicle scheduling plan based on the unit output and the capacity of concrete transport vehicles, including the following steps:

[0048] The difference between the remaining time and the time it takes for the vehicle to arrive at the construction area is the concrete production time, and the ratio of the concrete quantity to the production time is the concrete unit output. If the unit output is greater than the capacity of the concrete transport vehicle, then the number of concrete transport vehicles with a total capacity greater than the concrete quantity is dispatched at one time for concrete transport. If the unit output is less than the capacity of the concrete transport vehicle, then concrete transport vehicles are dispatched sequentially for concrete transport.
