During use, when the viscosity of the bulk cargo is high, the hopper of the stacker-reclaimer is prone to material accumulation, which affects the material passing capacity of the hopper and may even cause the hopper to be blocked.

[0003] Therefore, a vibrating motor is usually installed on the hopper of the stacker-reclaimer to vibrate the hopper wall and remove the accumulated material in the hopper. Currently, there are two control modes for the vibrating motor: one is manual control by an operator, and the other is automatic operation mode set in a time cycle. However, when the viscosity of the material is high, it is difficult for the operator to accurately control the operation frequency of the vibrating motor, which increases the operation difficulty of the operator. If the vibrating motor is started frequently in the case of material flow interruption, the hopper may be damaged. SUMMARY

[0006] The touch screen is used for inputting an automatic hopper vibrating mode opening instruction to the controller; the belt scale is used for detecting the flow of the material on the cantilever belt in real time, and sending the detected flow to the controller, wherein the flow includes instantaneous flow and cumulative flow;

[0007] The controller is used for judging whether the cumulative time of the instantaneous flow exceeding a predetermined instantaneous flow reaches a first predetermined time after a first time length, after receiving the automatic hopper vibrating mode opening instruction, wherein the first predetermined time is less than the first time length.

[0008] The controller determines whether the cumulative flow after the last hopper vibration reaches a predetermined cumulative flow when the first predetermined time is reached.

[0009] The controller determines whether a second time length between the last hopper vibration reaches a second predetermined time when the predetermined cumulative flow is reached.

[0010] The controller determines to start the vibration motor when a second predetermined time length is reached.

[0011] The touch screen is also used to input setting values of the first time length, the predetermined instantaneous flow, the first predetermined time length, the predetermined cumulative flow and the second predetermined time length into the controller.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the beneficial effects that the automatic hopper vibration mode of the vibration motor is set according to the passing flow of the material, and the parameter adjustment function is added with the aid of the touch screen, so that the hopper vibration frequency of the stacker-reclaimer can be adjusted in time according to the passing flow of the material, and the empty vibration phenomenon when the material flow is interrupted can be avoided, thereby saving electric energy and prolonging the service life of the hopper and the vibration motor.

[0013] Optionally, the controller stops the vibration motor when the running time length of the vibration motor reaches a third predetermined time length.

[0014] Optionally, the controller clears the cumulative flow and the second time length of this time and re-performs the accumulation after stopping the vibration motor.

[0015] Optionally, a start button and a stop button can also be arranged on the control cabinet, and are used to input the manual control instruction of the vibration motor into the controller. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
