A method for controlling the tipper unloading operation process

Abstract

This application relates to the field of tippler control technology, and in particular to a tippler unloading operation process control method. Specifically, it discloses: acquiring data on the loaded vehicles to be processed, and determining whether the tippler is in its first cycle based on the data; selecting either a first-cycle mode or a non-first-cycle mode based on the determination result, and executing either mode according to a preset instruction; after a single cycle ends, acquiring data on the loaded vehicles to be processed, determining whether it is the last cycle, and ending the cycle if it is. Under the condition of readjusting the towing in each first cycle or equivalent first cycle, the readjustment directly tows the loaded vehicle to its position within the tippler body without emptying and then positioning. During unloading in a non-first cycle, the readjustment first pushes two empty vehicles to the transfer platform, where the air conditioner performs emptying operations. Then, the readjustment pushes the double vehicles to their positions within the tippler body for unloading. In the last cycle operation, the readjustment directly pushes the empty vehicles to the transfer platform for emptying operations, greatly improving unloading efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tippler control technology, and in particular to a tippler tipping and unloading operation process control method. Background Technology

[0002] A tippler is a large mechanical loading and unloading device that can tilt or overturn rail vehicles for unloading. It is suitable for ports with high transport volumes and enterprises in metallurgy, coal, and thermal power industries. However, current tipplers have many problems during unloading operations, mainly including: flawed interlocking designs in various systems; single interlocking between individual devices; large distances between the three operating platforms, leading to difficulties in coordinating subsystems; and inadequate human coordination, which can easily cause collisions and derailments involving multiple railcars. Although there are personnel inspecting the tippler exit, the loaded cars must still be manually pulled back into the tippler rotor, severely impacting operational efficiency.

[0003] Currently, in most dual-vehicle tipplers, the air conditioning venting vehicle takes a long time to travel during each unloading cycle, and other mechanisms are waiting for the air conditioning to be in place, wasting a significant amount of unloading time. This results in low unloading efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to address the problem that the air conditioning evacuation vehicle travel time is long in each unloading cycle, and other mechanisms are waiting for the air conditioning to be in place, which wastes unloading time. This application provides a method for controlling the unloading operation process of a tipper.

[0005] In some embodiments of this application, by readjusting the empty hook limit, the empty car coupling detection photoelectric sensor, the absolute encoder, and the axle limit on the transfer platform, the conditions for the first unloading cycle are jointly determined. Under the condition of readjusting the traction in each first cycle or equivalent first cycle, the process is distinguished from the conventional cycle process. The loaded car is directly tractioned into the body for positioning without emptying and then positioning.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, during non-first-cycle unloading, the double empty cars are first readjusted and pushed to the transfer platform, and the air conditioner performs empty car operation. Then, the double empty cars are readjusted and pushed into the tipper body for tipping and unloading, making the connection between the various mechanisms of the entire cycle more tight.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the final cycle is determined by the axle counting sensor between the loaded car line clamp wheel and the main rotor and at the entrance of the transfer platform, combined with the travel distance fed back by the absolute encoder on the resetting machine. In the case of the final cycle operation, the resetting machine directly pushes the empty car to the transfer platform for empty car operation, further shortening the unloading cycle time.

[0008] Some embodiments of this application provide a method for controlling the tipper unloading operation process, including:

[0009] Step 1: Obtain the data of the loaded vehicles to be processed, and determine whether the tipper is in its first cycle based on the data.

[0010] Step 2: Based on the judgment result, select the first loop mode or the non-first loop mode, and execute the first loop mode or the non-first loop mode according to the preset instructions;

[0011] Step 3: After a single loop ends, obtain the data of the loaded vehicles to be processed, and determine whether it is the last loop. If it is the last loop, end the loop.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the first loop includes:

[0013] The reloaded vehicle directly enters the preset position on the tippler body;

[0014] The tippler body unloads the vehicle and is readjusted back to the receiving position.

[0029] S6: After uncoupling is completed, the vehicle towing command is reset according to the second preset delay time, and vehicle towing begins;

[0030] S7: When both vehicles reach the preset position, reset the traction command, stop traction, and set the empty hook pin command according to the third preset delay time.

[0031] S8: Based on the second preset delay time, set the vehicle reception command to be readjusted and the vehicle reception is reversed;

[0032] S9: After the two vehicles arrive at the preset position and stop, the lifting hook command is set according to the third preset delay time.

[0033] S10: Obtain the position information of the two vehicles. When there is a vehicle in the tipper, set the vehicle towing command according to the second delay time.

[0034] S11: When the vehicle is towed forward to the boom-raised position and the vehicle is to be received and moved back to the boom-raised position, the boom-raised command is set according to the second preset delay time.

[0036] S13: Reset and readjust the traction command, stop traction, set the arm lowering command according to the third preset delay time, and start lowering the arm according to the second delay time.

[0037] When the preset conditions for receiving the vehicle and hitting the hook are met, return to S1 and start the cycle of unloading the vehicle.

The traction car is not emptied and then positioned. The first cycle can save 6-8 seconds.

[0054] (2) When unloading during non-first cycle, first adjust and push the double empty cars to the transfer platform, and the air conditioner performs empty car operation. Then, adjust and push the double cars to be positioned in the tipper body for tipping and unloading, so that the connection between the various mechanisms of the whole cycle is tighter and the air conditioner waiting time can be saved by 6-8 seconds per cycle.

[0055] (3) In the final cycle operation, the re-adjustment machine directly pushes the empty car to the car transfer platform to perform the empty car operation, which can save 4-6 seconds in the final cycle.

[0056] (4) Through the optimized process control logic, the unloading efficiency of the tippler can reach 19-20 cycles per hour, which greatly improves the unloading efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0126] When the tipper flips to a preset angle, it acquires a real-time pressure value. If the real-time pressure value is less than the preset minimum tipping pressure value, the tipper will flip back.

[0127] Specifically, when the tipper rotates to approximately 45-70°, a pressure test is performed. If the pressure is insufficient to meet the minimum requirements, the tipping stops, the tipping is reversed, and the pressing action is repeated. This ensures the safety of the tipping process.

[0128] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a tippler unloading operation process control method. Through the optimized process control logic, the tippler unloading operation efficiency can reach 19-20 cycles per hour, which greatly improves the unloading efficiency.

[0129] According to the first concept of this application, by readjusting the empty hook limit, the empty car coupling detection photoelectric sensor, the absolute encoder, and the axle limit on the transfer platform, the conditions for the first unloading cycle are jointly determined. Under the condition of readjusting the traction in each first cycle or equivalent first cycle, it is distinguished from the conventional cycle process and the loaded car is directly tractioned into the body for positioning without emptying and then positioning.

[0130] According to the second concept of this application, during non-first cycle unloading, the double empty cars are first readjusted and pushed to the transfer platform, and the air conditioner performs empty car operation. Then, the double cars are readjusted and pushed into the tipper body for tipping and unloading, making the connection between the various mechanisms of the entire cycle more tight.

[0131] According to the third concept of this application, the final cycle is determined by the axle counting sensor between the loaded car line clamp wheel and the main rotor and at the entrance of the transfer platform, combined with the travel distance fed back by the absolute encoder on the resetting machine. In the case of the final cycle operation, the resetting machine directly pushes the empty car to the transfer platform for empty car operation, further shortening the unloading cycle time.
