Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships should be regarded as within the scope of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.
[0048] The embodiment of the present invention provides a remote control method and system for automatically adjusting the posture of a conveyor belt of a slag scraper, wherein: Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for automatically adjusting the attitude of a conveyor belt of a remote-controlled scraper provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the automatic adjustment control method of the conveyor belt posture of a remote-controlled scraper according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0049] Obtain the height measurement value of the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt and the distance detection value of nearby obstacles;
[0050] Calculate the deviation between the height measurement value and the distance detection value;
[0051] According to the deviation value, the control output value is obtained through PID operation to feedback control the posture of the remote control scraper conveyor belt.
[0052] The automatic adjustment control method for the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt posture provided in this embodiment can automatically adjust the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt posture, so that the scraper can maintain the conveyor belt angle to follow the road bumps during operation.
[0053] In order to better understand the present invention, each step in this embodiment is described below.
[0054] Height measurements and distance detection values are obtained by ultrasonic sensors installed on the conveyor belt.
[0055] In this embodiment, since the ultrasonic sensor can determine the height measurement value and the distance detection value without any external conditions, the controller can calculate and adjust the solenoid valve to achieve continuous adjustment of the remote control scraper conveyor belt.
[0056] Specifically, it includes:
[0057] When the height measurement value is greater than or equal to the distance detection value, the controller output signal is obtained through PID calculation to control the remote control scraper conveyor to a position of the distance set value;
[0058] When the height measurement value is less than the distance detection value, the initial value of the posture of the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt is obtained, and the adjustment value is obtained through PID calculation, and the height of the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt is feedback-controlled.
[0059] The obtaining of the initial value of the posture of the conveyor belt of the remote-controlled scraper is specifically, when the actuating cylinder and the conveyor belt are not in motion, the remote-controlled scraper is in driving or turning motion and maintains the motion for a preset time, obtaining the initial value of the posture of the conveyor belt of the remote-controlled scraper.
[0060] In this example, PID stands for "proportional, integral, and derivative." The PID algorithm is a common control algorithm used in situations where a physical quantity needs to be kept stable, such as maintaining balance, stabilizing power, or stabilizing speed. In this example, PID is used to control the actual height of the conveyor belt in real time, adjusting it to a calculated setpoint.
[0061] Specifically, the PID operation is:
[0062] Y=S+K∫(HX)dx
[0063] Among them, Y is the control output value, K is the proportional coefficient, S is the preset constant, H is the height measurement value, and X is the distance measurement value.
[0064] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the control principle of the remote control system for automatically adjusting the attitude of the conveyor belt of the slag scraper provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the system includes an ultrasonic sensor, a vehicle-mounted controller, a lifting solenoid valve, a lowering solenoid valve, an actuating cylinder and a conveyor belt.
[0065] The output end of the ultrasonic sensor is electrically connected to the control input end of the vehicle-mounted controller, the control port of the vehicle-mounted controller is respectively connected to the input ports of the lifting solenoid valve and the lowering solenoid valve, the output ports of the lifting solenoid valve and the lowering solenoid valve are respectively connected to the actuating cylinder, and the actuating cylinder is transmission-connected to the conveyor belt.
[0066] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the height measurement value of the conveyor belt and the distance detection value of the obstacle in real time. A conveyor belt angle sensor can also be set to work synchronously with the ultrasonic sensor.
[0067] The onboard controller uses the height measurement and distance detection values as input. It generates a control signal through PID calculation and outputs it to the lifting or lowering solenoid valve.
[0068] The lifting solenoid valve and the lowering solenoid valve are used to control the signal value as input to control the action cylinder to adjust the conveyor belt posture.
[0069] When the height measurement value is greater than or equal to the distance detection value, the descending solenoid valve is controlled to lower the height of the conveyor belt until the height measurement value is reduced to a preset distance setting value.
[0070] Preferably, the preset distance setting value can be set manually.
[0071] In summary, the automatic control method and system for the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt provided by this application, when the height measurement value is greater than or equal to the distance detection value, performs PID calculation to control the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt to lower its height until the height measurement value drops to a preset distance setting value. This can achieve a fast response and a fast and stable control effect. Moreover, when the height measurement value is less than the distance detection value, the initial value of the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt's posture is obtained, and the adjustment value is obtained through PID calculation, and the height of the remote-controlled scraper conveyor belt is feedback-controlled, effectively improving the practicality of the function.
[0072] Although the present invention has been described in detail above using general descriptions and specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements may be made thereto. Therefore, such modifications and improvements, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are intended to be within the scope of protection claimed herein.
