Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of storage management of iron-making raw materials and relates to a silo feeding designated tracking system. Background Art

[0002] At present, more and more steel plants in China use silos. Due to structural limitations, if the supplementary materials are fed into the wrong silo, they cannot be taken out and supplemented into other silos that need to be supplemented, and can only be used. During the use of the silos, it is very likely that the silos that need to be supplemented with coal do not receive feed supplementation due to the wrong feeding of materials into the silos, resulting in unreasonable resource allocation, disrupting the production plan and rhythm, increasing additional production plan arrangements, and increasing costs. Therefore, how to prevent materials from being fed into the wrong silo is an issue that cannot be ignored.

[0003] However, for safe and efficient production, the internal structure of the silos cannot be easily changed. Therefore, the best current method is to strictly control from management to avoid the situation of materials being fed into the wrong silos. Due to the immaturity of the unmanned management technology in the current iron and steel industry and the existence of dangers, the management work must be carried out by people. There is management intersection between different departments in the silo management. The material transportation management and use management in the silos belong to different departments. When materials are fed into the silos, instant communication means such as telephone and WeChat are used for communication and identification. The identification process is prone to errors due to communication, resulting in materials being fed into the wrong silos, and the entire process cannot be clearly and completely restored afterwards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a silo feeding designated tracking system, which is used to track the entire process of the identification process of silo feeding, optimize the material feeding process into the silos, reduce the probability of incorrect silo feeding caused by unclear identification, and facilitate the subsequent traceability of the feeding process into the silos.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] It includes a front end and a back end. The front end is used for input. The back end includes an identification module, a modification module, an information storage module, and a query module. The identification module is used to select identification information in the identification process. The identification information includes material variety, transportation method, unloading location, and silo number. When the execution information is confirmed, the identification process is changed to an execution process. The modification module is used to change the execution process to an identification process when it is found that the identification information is incorrect. The information storage module is used to store the process change information. The process change information includes the time stamp of each process change, as well as the identification information before and after the change. The query module is used to query the content recorded in the information storage module according to keywords.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a reminder module, which issues an alarm and sends the alarm information to the information storage module when the silo number of the material entering the silo is inconsistent with the silo number in the identification information.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes an unloading plan generation module, which is used to generate a corresponding unloading plan according to the selected transportation method, and the unloading plan includes sending the unloading information to the identification information; the transportation method includes water transportation, road transportation and rail transportation; the unloading information includes material type, material weight and unloading location.

[0009] Furthermore, the unloading plan includes determining the number of types of materials to be assembled on each ship when the mode of transportation is water transportation, and sending identification information corresponding to the number of items.

[0010] Furthermore, the unloading plan includes sending an identification message within a preset time for the same material type when the transportation method is road transportation.

[0011] Furthermore, the preset time is 24 hours. This solution complies with the 24-hour rule of transportation.

[0012] Furthermore, the unloading plan includes sending identification information once with one train set when the transportation mode is rail transportation.

[0013] Furthermore, when there are multiple unloading locations, the information storage module arranges and numbers the unloading locations according to the input timestamps, and arranges the unloading according to the numbers during the execution process.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] The present invention realizes the process management of the coking coal entering the plant system identifying the unloading and entering the warehouse number and the system tracking. According to the corresponding operating steps, the probability of materials entering the wrong warehouse can be reduced. At the same time, if the wrong warehouse situation still occurs, the complete event process can be traced afterwards to facilitate the division of responsibilities.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1, it is a silo feeding designated tracking system, which is implemented through the front end and the back end. The front end is a portable handheld terminal with input and output (the output refers to screen display or sound prompt) functions, such as a mobile phone. This part can be implemented through existing technologies and will not be elaborated here. The back end includes an identification module, a modification module, an information storage module, and a query module; the functions and effects described in this solution are realized by the front end controlling the data flow of the back end. The identification module is used to select identification information in the identification process. The identification information includes material variety, transportation method, unloading location, and silo number. When the execution information is confirmed, the identification process is changed to the execution process; the modification module is used to change the execution process to the identification process when it is found that the identification information is incorrect; the information storage module is used to store the process change information. The process change information includes the timestamp of each process change, as well as the identification information before and after the change; the query module is used to query the content recorded in the information storage module according to keywords. The system also includes a reminder module. When the silo number of the material entering the silo is inconsistent with the silo number in the identification information, the reminder module issues an alarm and sends the alarm information to the information storage module.

[0023] The system also includes an unloading plan generation module. The unloading plan generation module is used to generate a corresponding unloading plan according to the selected transportation method. The unloading plan includes sending the unloading information to the identification information; the transportation methods include water transportation, motor transportation, and railway transportation; the unloading information includes material variety, material weight, and unloading location. Multiple unloading locations can be selected. When inputting, they are numbered from small to large according to the timestamp from early to late, and the unloading is arranged in ascending order of the numbers during the execution process. The unloading plan includes when the transportation method is water transportation, determining the quantity of each type of material assembled on each ship and sending the corresponding number of identification information; when the transportation method is motor transportation, sending one piece of identification information for the same material variety within a preset time; when the transportation method is railway transportation, sending one piece of identification information for one train formation.

[0024] In a specific actual application, taking an iron and steel plant and a logistics party as an example, the iron and steel plant, which is the party that needs coal materials to enter the designated silo, holds the front end one, the logistics party, which transports according to the requirements of the iron and steel plant, holds the front end two, and the supplier holds the front end three.

[0025] I. The silo feeding designated tracking system of this solution will conduct a complete process tracking of the material feeding.

[0026] Specifically, according to different selected transportation methods, different unloading plans are generated, that is, different identification information is sent.

[0027] 1. When the transportation mode is selected as water transportation: When generating the ship unloading plan according to the transportation mode, the system automatically generates an identification information, creates a time at the same time, which is the creation time of the identification information, and sends the information such as the purchase code, manufacturing code, ship number, weight, unloading terminal, etc. of the product to be unloaded into the identification information.

[0028] After generating the unloading plan, the front-end two sends a notification message to the front-end one, requesting the front-end one to identify the truck unloading location. After the front-end one queries this identification information, it selects the unloading location. The selected location can be multiple options, which can be identification location ①, identification location ②, identification location ③, identification location ④, identification location ⑤. The front-end two arranges the warehousing according to the order of the identification locations.

[0029] When identifying, only one entry is made for the same material variety to enter the warehouse. If it is a coking coal assembled ship, when generating the ship unloading plan, record the quantity of the assembled varieties of this ship, and when entering the identification information of the unloading identification, the quantity of the entered identification information is the same as the quantity of the assembled varieties.

[0030] Suppose the ship number is Sea Freight 001, and it assembles three varieties: coking coal A, coking coal B, and pulverized coal injection coal A, with 1000 tons, 1500 tons, and 2000 tons respectively. Then Sea Freight 001 reports on July 20, 2022 and is scheduled to unload on August 1. The unloading plan for this ship is formulated on August 1, and it is planned to unload at Terminal 1 on August 1. After the unloading plan is confirmed, 3 identification information will be automatically generated on the unloading identification page. The three pieces of information are: Time: August 1, 2022, Coking Coal A, 1000 tons, Unloading at Terminal 1; Time: August 1, 2022, Coking Coal B, 1500 tons, Unloading at Terminal 1; Time: August 1, 2022, Pulverized Coal Injection Coal A, 2000 tons, Unloading at Terminal 1.

[0031] After the front-end one queries these 3 pieces of information, it respectively identifies the unloading location, and the maximum number of unloading locations that can be selected is 5. A reminder function is set during the unloading point selection process. The system internally sets the silo number or the material category stored at the unloading point. This material category is divided into coking coal and fuel coal. At the same time, the varieties of coal stored in different silos are inconsistent, and the varieties of materials loaded in the same silo may also change. The system internally sets the silo number or the product name (manufacturing code) of the material stored at the unloading point.

[0032] When identifying the material unloading into the warehouse, when the identified material enters a silo number that is inconsistent with the material variety currently specified by the system, the system gives a reminder but does not restrict. When the front-end one finds that the specified silo number is inconsistent with the current system-specified material name, it conducts a check and performs relevant operations.

[0033] After the front-end one designates the location where the material enters, it notifies the front-end two. The front-end two arranges the unloading and stacking after querying the unloading entry location in the system.

[0034] 2. When the transportation mode is selected as road transportation: After entering the vehicle number, material variety, and weight at the front end three and confirming, the system receives the vehicle loading confirmation information, and the system automatically creates unloading identification information on the unloading identification screen. According to the time rule of 21:00:00 - 20:59:59 (24 hours), one identification information is created within 24 hours for the same variety and the same front end. Suppose coking coal A is entered and confirmed at 10:00 on July 22, 2022, at the front end three, the system automatically creates an identification information that needs to enter the warehouse for identification; assume that the front end three enters the loading information of coking coal A again at 10:05 on July 22, 2022, then the number of vehicles in the identification information on the system unloading identification page within the identification information created at 10:00 increases by 1, the weight increases accordingly, and the vehicle and ship number increases; assume that at 21:03 on July 22, 2022, the above front end three enters the loading information of coking coal A again and confirms, then the system will create a new identification information again.

[0035] After the information entered at the front end three is confirmed, the relevant information enters the system identification page. If the information entered at the front end three is incorrect or other reasons lead to the cancellation of the loading operation, the relevant information on the system identification screen is automatically cancelled, but it is not allowed to cancel the loading operation after the vehicle arrives at the target location and passes through the factory access control.

[0036] Due to road transportation, it takes a certain amount of time from the front end three entering the information to arriving, which may be 1 day, 2 days, or 3 days. Therefore, the identification is carried out after the vehicle arrives at the target location. After the front end one queries the relevant information according to the query conditions of road transportation, the system identifies the unloading location, and after identification, the unloading and storage are organized according to the specified location.

[0037] There are the following problems with specifying the unloading point after the front end three enters the information: 1) After the front end three enters the loading information, it is impossible to know how many more vehicles need to be entered later, the number of vehicles and ships cannot be determined, and the weight cannot be determined, which is not conducive to the identification of the unloading and storage points. 2) After the front end three enters the information, the vehicle may break down on the way, and the loading operation is cancelled, and the relevant information is changed, etc., resulting in inaccurate information. Therefore, for road transportation, the identification of the material unloading and storage point needs to be carried out after the vehicle enters the factory and passes through the access control at the designated location to effectively avoid the above problems.

[0038] 3. When the transportation mode is selected as rail transportation: After different materials are transported to the target location by train, a certain number of heavy vehicles are randomly selected for unloading. Before the train unloading, the front end two groups the selected trains (that is, specifies the unloading railway line). After the grouping is completed, the car body numbers of the above trains are pulled to the corresponding dumper for unloading. Before unloading, the front end two sends a notice to the front end one to remind the identification of the unloading storage point, and after identification, the unloading and storage are arranged according to the system-identified location.

[0039] When transporting by train, the unloading storage location identification is created once for each train formation. If there are N types of materials in a train formation, N pieces of identification information for unloading storage location identification will be displayed.

[0040] Suppose there is a train formation at 10:00 on July 25, 2022, which is planned to be unloaded at the No. 1 dumper. There are 30 train numbers in this formation. Among them, 5 train numbers are loaded with coking coal A, with a total weight of 320 tons; 10 train numbers are loaded with coking coal B, with a total weight of 620 tons; 15 train numbers are loaded with coking coal C, with a total weight of 950 tons. If the formation is confirmed, 3 pieces of identification information will be automatically generated on the unloading storage location identification page. The first piece of identification information is: at 10:00 on July 25, 2022, coking coal A, 5 cars, 320 tons, No. 1 dumper; the second piece of identification information is: at 10:00 on July 25, 2022, coking coal B, 10 cars, 620 tons, No. 1 dumper; the third piece of identification information is: at 10:00 on July 25, 2022, coking coal C, 15 cars, 950 tons, No. 1 dumper. The front end will respectively specify the unloading and stacking locations according to these 3 pieces of identification information, and perform unloading and storage according to the unloading locations specified by this system.

[0041] Suppose that at 16:00 on July 25, 2022, 20 cars of coking coal A with a weight of 1300 tons arrive, are re-formed and unloaded at the No. 1 dumper. Then when the formation is determined, a piece of identification information that needs to be identified will be automatically created again on the unloading and stacking designation page. The identification information includes: at 16:00 on July 25, 2022, coking coal A, 10 cars, 1300 tons, No. 1 dumper.

[0042] Therefore, for train transportation, the principle of identifying the unloading storage location once for each train formation is followed, that is, for the same variety, if there are N formations, it will be identified N times; for trucks, 1 piece of identification information is generated according to the rule of 21:00:00 - 20:59:59 and identified once; for shipping, the principle of identifying N times according to N product names (purchase codes) for one ship is followed.

[0043] Second, the silo feeding designation tracking system of this application will store all information generated during the unloading process of materials.

[0044] This system designates the silo number for the pre-unloading of materials, and associates with the external system using the train number, vehicle license plate number of the truck, and ship name as key fields, so as to compare and track the designated pre-unloading silo number with the actual unloading silo number. Thus, when it is necessary to conduct a reverse check when the materials enter the wrong silo, it is convenient to quickly query whether it is an identification error or an unloading error.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the present technical solution, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
