Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial batching control technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency batching and feeding method for a feeder, a forklift error prevention control system, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In existing industrial batching systems, especially in complex production environments involving multiple forklifts and feeders, the accuracy and efficiency of batching have always been important and difficult problems to solve. Traditional batching methods often rely on manual weighing and paper records, with each feeder batching separately. This not only increases the workload and time costs of personnel and forklifts, but also easily introduces human error, leading to inaccurate batching, which in turn affects product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] Furthermore, with the expansion of production scale and the increase in complexity, the simultaneous operation of multiple forklifts and feeders has become the norm. Traditional manual weighing is irresponsible, and outdated batching methods suffer from problems such as poor information transmission, difficulty for drivers to understand batching requirements in real time, and forklifts doing a lot of useless work. How to ensure that each feeder can obtain the required materials in a timely and accurate manner, while eliminating the need for weighing personnel, reducing the workload of forklifts, and making full use of off-peak electricity in ball mills, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to address the problems in related technologies, such as poor information transmission, difficulty in real-time response to batching needs, and the limitation of batching to a single feeder in industrial batching systems. This requires providing a forklift error prevention control system, a high-efficiency feeder batching and delivery system, and a storage medium. By achieving automatic identification, collection, transmission, and accurate matching of batching information, as well as collaborative batching by multiple feeders, the automation level, accuracy, and efficiency of the batching process are improved.

[0005] The first aspect of this application discloses a high-efficiency feeding and dispensing method for a feeder, which includes the following steps:

[0006] S1. Match the batching information of multiple ball mills with multiple feeders, and transmit the batching requirements of multiple feeders to the loader;

[0007] S2. By controlling one of the forklifts to select at least one material required by one of the feeders, the other forklifts can only select other materials required by the feeder or materials required by other feeders;

[0008] S3. The loader is used to scoop up the required materials from the raw material silo. When the loader is scooping up the materials, the loader information is matched with the material information. The central control system controls the second display screen on the loader through the wireless module to display the total weight of the required raw materials, as well as the feeder numbers and corresponding weights of the required raw materials.

[0009] S4. The loader moves to the feeder. The central control system obtains the feeder information read by the identification system on the loader. Based on the matching result between the type of material in the bucket and the feeder's formula requirements, the system controls the first display screen corresponding to the feeder to display the feeder's requirement information for the material in the loader.

[0010] S5. During the feeding process of the loader, according to the matching result between the feeding weight and the formula requirements of the feeder, control the loader to continue feeding, or scoop up the excess material in the feeder bucket, and control the feeder's conveyor belt to transport the material to the ball mill.

[0011] S6. Determine if there is any remaining material inside the loader;

[0012] S7. If there is residual material in the loader, repeat steps S4 and S5. If there is no residual material in the loader, and the material required by the feeder has not been added to the required weight, repeat steps S3, S4, S5 and S6. When the material has been added to the required weight, repeat steps S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6.

[0013] This application discloses an efficient feeding and dispensing method for a feeder. By matching the batching information of the ball mill with the feeder and transmitting the batching requirements to the forklift, it integrates the batching information between multiple forklifts and multiple feeders. This enables accurate transmission of batching requirements and timely command from the central control system to multiple forklifts. Furthermore, the systematic batching information matching reduces manual recording, information errors during transmission, and unnecessary forklift back-and-forth movement. When the forklift retrieves the required material from the raw material bin, matching the forklift information with the material information ensures that the forklift retrieves the correct material, avoiding misoperation during material retrieval. Then, based on the prompts on the second screen, it is known which feeders need the material. After the forklift moves to the feeder, by recognizing the forklift and feeder information, the correct material is fed to the corresponding feeder. Moreover, the forklift can partially or completely feed the remaining material in the bucket of other feeders according to their needs, reducing the workload of the forklift's back-and-forth movement. Then, the material is conveyed into the ball mill by the feeder. Next, it is determined whether the material required by the other feeders matches the remaining material in the bucket, thus ensuring the accuracy of the batching and significantly reducing the number of times the loader returns to the hopper. Furthermore, the batching requirements are dynamically communicated to the feeders based on the matching results, or the matching results are transmitted to the second display screen on the loader via a transmission signal, allowing the loader driver to promptly obtain the material requirements of the feeders. If too much material is added to the feeders, the loader uses its bucket to scoop out the material from the feeder bucket to ensure batching accuracy. Further, by determining whether there is remaining material in the loader, and based on the remaining material situation and the instructions on the second display screen, a decision is made whether to scoop material again, continue feeding other feeders, or return to the hopper. This effectively manages and utilizes the remaining material, significantly reducing the number of times the loader returns to the raw material hopper, effectively improving batching efficiency, and reducing the workload of the loader returning to the raw material hopper for retrieval and unloading.

[0014] Furthermore, when there is no material remaining in the forklift, and the material required by the feeder has not been added to the required weight, the forklift continues to be controlled to scoop up the required material from the raw material bin, and then the subsequent steps are repeated; when the material required by the feeder has been added to its required weight, other materials required by the feeder can be selected again through the second display screen, and then the subsequent steps are repeated.

[0015] This system allows one loader to select at least one material required by a specific feeder, while other loaders can only select other materials required by that feeder or materials required by other feeders. This enables loader drivers to bid for orders; one driver selects a specific material from a feeder's formula on their loader's dedicated computer, and other loaders can only select other materials or materials from other feeders. During material delivery, statistics can be based on the quantity of material hauled by each loader driver, or both by driver and by material type. This implements a "more work, more pay" incentive mechanism, increasing loader driver motivation and efficiency. It also reduces manpower and vehicles, lowers production costs, reduces the number of vehicles traveling back and forth, and improves safety.

[0016] In some specific implementations, when the loader moves to the feeder, the central control system obtains the feeder number information read by the loader through its onboard identification system, and controls the first display screen corresponding to the feeder to display information such as the weight and type of the required material. This allows the loader driver to re-verify the information that needs to be fed to the feeder, thereby improving the accuracy of the information and the accuracy of the feeding.

[0017] In one embodiment, the specific process of step S1 is as follows:

[0018] S11. The batching information of multiple ball mills is transmitted to the first display screen corresponding to multiple feeders respectively, and the batching information is displayed on the first display screen. The batching information includes at least one of the following: formula name, date, ball mill number, hopper name, material name, weight, and allowable deviation.

[0019] S12. Transmit the material feeding requirements of multiple feeders to the second display screen on the loader.

[0020] A first display screen is installed diagonally above the feeder, showing the batching information for one ball mill. This information includes, but is not limited to, the following: formula name, date, ball mill number, hopper name, material name, allowable deviation, and required weight. This allows operators to clearly understand the batching requirements at each stage. The batching information displayed on the feeder's first screen helps the driver accurately control the type and quantity of materials for each batch, eliminating errors and improving accuracy. Furthermore, the central control system provides detailed records of the batching process, loader trajectory, error tables, and the actual batching list for each ball mill. This simplifies the operator's workflow, reduces reliance on manual records and paper documents, ensures strict adherence to the process formula, and improves work efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, the batching requirements are directly transmitted to the second display screen on the loader, allowing the loader operator to view the feeder's batching needs in real time. This enables two or more loaders to batch materials for a single feeder, and timely adjustments to the loader's operation facilitate efficient batching. In some specific application scenarios, since feeder formulas are sometimes the same, and even if the formulas are not identical, many raw materials are the same, intelligent prompts on the loader's second display screen can allow the remaining material in the bucket to be added to all other feeders that require that material. This reduces the number of times the feeder returns to the hopper and the number of times it needs to scoop material from the hopper, greatly improving batching efficiency.

[0022] In one embodiment, S4 specifically includes the following steps:

[0023] Based on whether the material required by the feeder matches the material on the loader, if they match, a first message is displayed on the first display screen corresponding to the feeder; otherwise, the first message indicates a feeding error. By directly displaying the prompt information on the first display screen, the driver can immediately know whether to add material to the feeder, thus avoiding incorrect feeding due to human negligence or misjudgment, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of feeding. Moreover, by introducing the function of automatic judgment and display of prompt information, the feeding equipment has a higher level of intelligence. This improvement optimizes the feeding process, enabling the loader driver to complete the feeding task more quickly and reducing the processing time caused by incorrect feeding, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0024] In one embodiment, step S5 further includes the following step:

[0025] The system calculates the difference between the weight of material fed into the feeder by the loader and the required material quantity. When the difference exceeds the allowable deviation, a second message is displayed on the second display on the loader, indicating whether there is too much or too little material. Simultaneously, the first display corresponding to the feeder stops updating other required material information and only displays the currently required material information. When the excess quantity exceeds the allowable deviation, the central control system controls the corresponding alarm of the feeder to issue an alarm signal and stops the feeder from conveying material to the ball mill.

[0026] In the process of calculating the difference between the weight of material fed into the feeder by the loader and the feeder's batching requirements, if the difference exceeds the allowable deviation, the first display screen corresponding to the feeder will indicate whether the batching is too much or too little. This helps the driver to precisely control the batching process, promptly detect and correct deviations, and improve batching accuracy. Furthermore, when a batching problem occurs, the first display screen stops updating other information and only displays the currently required material information, focusing the operator's attention and reducing the complexity of information processing. Therefore, the loader-based efficient batching system of this application can achieve intelligent weighing monitoring in actual workshop batching applications, reducing the need for weighing personnel and effectively saving human resources and reducing production costs.

[0027] In one embodiment, the specific process of step S3 is as follows:

[0028] S31. Install multiple first identifiers at the top of the entrance to the raw material warehouse or enclose multiple areas above the warehouse with multiple first identifiers;

[0029] S32. Move the forklift to the warehouse. The forklift's identification system can identify the warehouse's first identifier and send the read identifier number to the central control system.

[0030] S33. The identification system on the loader is assigned different addresses. The central control system can receive the wireless information transmitted by the identification system on the loader, identify different addresses to distinguish different loaders, and match the loader with the material it has picked up. The first identifier uses an electronic tag, the identification system uses an RFID card reader, the wireless module uses a wireless transmission module, and the second display screen is an LCD screen or a touch screen all-in-one computer.

[0031] It should be noted that by installing multiple primary identifiers within the warehouse, the forklift identification system can accurately identify different hopper numbers, enabling the forklift to precisely locate the required materials. Furthermore, when the forklift moves into the warehouse, the identification system reads the primary identifier and wirelessly transmits the identifier number to the central control system. This allows the central control system to determine which warehouse the forklift has moved to and wirelessly notify the forklift's second display screen to show the feeder number, required quantity, and total quantity of the required material, guiding the driver to quickly reach the appropriate feeder. In some specific application scenarios, after the forklift returns to its original hopper to unload, it can locate the nearest hopper for shoveling, reducing the forklift's travel distance.

[0032] The first identifier uses an electronic tag, the identification system uses an RFID reader, the wireless module uses a wireless transmission module, and the second display screen is an LCD screen or a touch screen all-in-one computer. In this way, the forklift's identification system can identify different hoppers and feeders using the RFID readers above the hoppers and feeders.

[0033] Furthermore, each forklift's identification system is assigned a different address, enabling the central control system to accurately identify and distinguish different forklifts. This allows for rapid matching of the forklift with the material being picked up, facilitating a fast and accurate batching process. This application, by installing identifiers above the hopper and feeder, and an identification system on the forklift, and through wireless transmission and collaboration with the central control system, along with real-time command via a second screen on the forklift, achieves accurate identification, rapid matching, efficient batching, and intelligent management of the forklift batching process. This significantly improves the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of the batching process, effectively reduces errors, achieves energy saving, consumption reduction, and lower production costs, and enhances the intelligence and digitalization of the production process.

[0034] In one embodiment, the following steps follow S6:

[0035] When it is determined that there is residual material in the forklift's bucket, and the forklift moves directly to a different raw material warehouse to unload the material, the second display screen on the forklift shows a fourth message. This fourth message indicates that the forklift has not returned to the initial material warehouse to unload the material. In this way, by determining whether there is residual material in the forklift's bucket and displaying the fourth message when the forklift moves directly to a different raw material warehouse, the driver is informed that the forklift has not returned to the initial material warehouse. This effectively prevents driver error and ensures that the forklift returns to the initial warehouse to unload the material according to the prescribed procedure, reducing errors in the production process. It also helps to avoid mixing different materials and ensures the accuracy and precision of batching.

[0036] In one embodiment, the following steps follow S6:

[0037] By identifying the movement of the loader's bucket, it can be determined whether the loader has scooped up waste material that has spilled onto the ground from the feeder or removed waste material from the road surface. If the loader fails to deliver the waste to the waste bin, a fifth message is displayed on the second display screen on the loader, indicating that the loader has not emptied the waste. Since directly feeding waste material onto the feeder by the loader can easily affect the accuracy of batching, identifying the loader's bucket movement determines whether it has scooped up waste material that has spilled onto the ground from the feeder or removed waste material from the road surface. If the loader fails to deliver the waste to the waste bin, a fifth message is displayed on the first display screen corresponding to the feeder it reached, indicating that the loader has not emptied the waste. This allows operators to be promptly notified to deliver the waste material from the loader to the waste bin, preventing waste from being mixed into the production process. Through real-time monitoring and notifications, the loader's batching operation process is optimized, reducing unnecessary steps and errors, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the batching process.

[0038] In one embodiment, the specific steps of S4, "matching the material type in the bucket with the feeder's formula requirements," are as follows:

[0039] When the material scooped up by the loader is not among the remaining required materials in the current feeder formula, the sixth message is displayed. The sixth message is used to indicate an error that the material on the loader does not match the required material.

[0040] The central control system determines whether the forklift is forcibly adding problematic material into the feeder based on changes in the feeder's weight.

[0041] If the forklift forcibly adds problematic material into the feeder, the central control system will immediately lock the feeder and record the relevant information.

[0042] The central control system obtains the unlocking information, and after the loader scoops out the same weight of material and records the relevant unlocking information, the feeder continues to batch the material.

[0043] The system features several key features. First, by displaying the fifth piece of information in real-time on the loader's second screen, operators can immediately identify any mismatch between the material being scooped and the current feeder's formula, allowing for timely correction and ensuring accurate batching. Second, the sixth piece of information effectively prevents problematic materials from being added to the feeder, avoiding batching errors due to material mismatch and ensuring smooth production. Third, the system monitors the loader's operation in real-time, ensuring standardized operation, preventing operator violations, and improving the safety and standardization of the production process. The system can also detect if the loader is forcibly adding material, responding quickly and taking measures to reduce production accidents and material waste caused by violations. If the loader forcibly adds material to the feeder, the central control system immediately locks the feeder to prevent substandard material from entering the next production stage, ensuring material quality and preventing product quality issues. Furthermore, the system records relevant information, helping to identify and correct problems in the operational process and improve management. In addition, after the central control system obtains the unlocking information and the forklift scoops out the same weight of material, the feeder continues to batch the material, which can ensure the accuracy and consistency of each batch of material, guarantee the quality of the produced products, and thus bring higher economic and production benefits to the enterprise.

[0044] In one embodiment, the efficient feeding and dispensing method of the feeder further includes the following steps:

[0045] During the feeding process, the weight of the remaining material in the feeder hopper is identified, and feeding stops when the remaining material in the feeder hopper is lower than the preset value.

[0046] By identifying the weight of the remaining material in the feeder hopper, precise monitoring and control of the remaining material are achieved, ensuring that the amount of remaining material in the hopper remains within an appropriate range. Feeding stops when the weight of the remaining material in the hopper falls below a preset value, effectively preventing leakage or the inability to expel wet material due to insufficient material in the hopper. In some specific embodiments, when the remaining material contains mud or sand with high moisture content, it is easy for it to flow out automatically from the feeder. By controlling the amount of remaining material in the hopper within an appropriate range, ensuring that the amount of remaining material in the hopper is always greater than or equal to the preset value, the gaps around the feeder outlet and the bottom of the feeder hopper are always blocked by remaining material, preventing the problem of added materials easily flowing out directly from the outlet or the gaps at the bottom of the hopper.

[0047] In one embodiment, the specific process of step S4 is as follows:

[0048] S41. A second identifier is installed above the feeder. The central control system reads the identifier number of the feeder through the loader identification system, thereby identifying the feeder.

[0049] S42. When the central control system detects the arrival of the loader, it immediately and automatically stops the feeding action of the feeder. After the weight of the feeder stabilizes for a preset time, it collects the data and immediately reads the remaining weight in the feeder before controlling the feeding indicator light to light up.

[0050] S43. After the forklift leaves, the weight of the material in the feeder is read again, and then the central control system immediately controls the feeder to deliver material into the ball during the gap when the forklift leaves. This utilizes the time the forklift is away.

[0051] In some steps of S4, the central control system, with the help of the feeder's identifier, achieves automated identification and control of the feeder, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation level of the production process. Specifically, the central control system can promptly detect the arrival of the forklift, immediately stopping the feeder's material feeding and allowing the forklift to add material, reducing manual workload and improving operational efficiency. When the forklift approaches the feeder, the feeder immediately stops feeding, ensuring accurate material addition. Furthermore, the feeder's batching and delivery are interspersed, keeping the raw material level in the feeder consistently low, effectively reducing the feeder's load and significantly decreasing mechanical and motor malfunctions. Further, the feeder's automatic stop-feeding and automatic start-up functions save the forklift's batching and delivery time, improving production efficiency and capacity, and enhancing production benefits. Moreover, the central control system controls the feeder to deliver material during the forklift's departure intervals, making good use of the forklift's absence time.

[0052] In one embodiment, the following steps are further included after step S5;

[0053] Until the forklift is detected to have retreated, the final weight of the material added by the forklift to the feeder is obtained;

[0054] Multiple photoelectric switches are used to detect the bucket angle, bucket height, and bucket tilt angle to monitor the loader's material scooping and unloading actions, and to determine whether the bucket is empty.

[0055] The system monitors the movement of the loader's bucket. When it detects the bucket scooping up material from the ground and adding it to the feeder, the central control system alarms and locks the feeder's operation. It waits and receives data on the loader's retraction before starting to measure the final weight of the material added to the feeder. This improves the accuracy of the batching process and avoids data errors caused by cheating. In some specific embodiments, after the loader adds the correct material to the feeder, the feeder's first display will show "OK," but it will not display the next material. Only after the loader retracts will it begin to judge whether the weight of the added raw material is up to standard. This prevents the loader operator from incorrectly adjusting the displayed weight to match the formula by pressing or lifting the bucket, ensuring the accuracy of the batching process. Furthermore, by monitoring the loader's bucket movement, it can promptly detect any violations such as the bucket scooping up material from the ground and adding it to the feeder, ensuring the normal operation of the batching process. Once a violation is detected, the central control system immediately alarms, reminding the driver to take timely action and preventing the violation from affecting the quality of the batching. Furthermore, by setting a lock control for the feeder, when the loader driver forcibly controls the loader to add ground material to the feeder, the system will lock the feeder and record the "shoveling" action.

[0056] Furthermore, by monitoring the angle, height, and tilting angle of the bucket using multiple photoelectric switches, the loader's shoveling and unloading actions can be accurately monitored. Moreover, by monitoring the loader's shoveling height, it can prevent the loader from scooping materials submerged in water, thus avoiding the impact of excessive moisture in the feeder on the accuracy of the batching process.

[0057] In one embodiment, the following step is included after step S7:

[0058] When the materials in the warehouse are used up, the material information of the warehouse can be modified, including the names of the materials stored in the warehouse;

[0059] After completing the batching and feeding of the ball mill, print the corresponding batching sheet. The batching sheet includes the actual deviation of each material, the moisture content of each material, or the batching end time.

[0060] By connecting the central control system and the weighbridge system, the inventory of each sand, stone and mud bin can be monitored in real time by combining the consumption of each material.

[0061] The system connects the central control system and the weighbridge system, allowing for real-time monitoring of the inventory of sand, stone, and mud in each silo by combining real-time consumption data. When a silo is emptied and another material is added, our client software, installed on the computers of the sand silo group or technical department, allows for remote modification of the material name in the corresponding silo, ensuring the accuracy and real-time nature of warehouse management. This guarantees the smooth and accurate operation of subsequent production. Regarding batching information recording, after the ball mill's batching and feeding are completed, the system automatically prints the corresponding batching sheet, recording the actual deviation of each material for convenient subsequent management and analysis. The batching sheet includes the actual deviation of each material, enabling quality traceability of the production process, timely detection and correction of problems, and improved product quality and production efficiency. The batching sheet also includes moisture information for each material or the batching completion time for easy user verification. Real-time inventory monitoring: By connecting the central control system and the weighbridge system, the system enables real-time monitoring of the quantity of materials entering the warehouse. Combined with real-time consumption data for each material, the system provides real-time information on the inventory levels of each sand, stone, and mud silo. The system automatically updates inventory information, reducing the workload of warehouse staff and improving the accuracy of inventory management. Implementing these steps further optimizes the batching process and warehouse management, improves the automation level and management efficiency of the production process, and provides reliable support for production.

[0062] A second aspect of this application discloses a loader error prevention control system, which is used to execute the efficient feeding and dispensing method of the feeder described in any of the above embodiments. The loader error prevention control system includes:

[0063] Multiple first identifiers and second identifiers, wherein the first identifiers are for installation at the warehouse entrance and the second identifiers are for installation above the feeder;

[0064] The number of loader loader is multiple;

[0065] The identification system comprises multiple identification systems, which are respectively installed on multiple forklifts. Each identification system is capable of receiving signals from the first and second identifiers and transmitting signals to the outside world via a wireless module.

[0066] The second display screen is multiple, and the multiple second display screens are respectively installed on multiple loader ...

[0067] Feeders, wherein there are multiple feeders;

[0068] The central control system is provided in multiple locations, and the multiple central control systems are respectively located in the central control room of the multiple feeder platforms or are located adjacent to the multiple feeders.

[0069] The second aspect of this application discloses a forklift error prevention control system. This system is used to execute the efficient material feeding and dispensing method of any of the above embodiments. The forklift error prevention control system includes multiple first identifiers and multiple second identifiers, multiple forklifts, multiple identification systems, multiple second displays, multiple feeders, and multiple central control systems. The multiple first identifiers and multiple second identifiers are respectively installed above the warehouse and the feeders to identify the position and status of the forklifts. The first identifier number can be read by the identification system on the forklift, ensuring that the central control system knows that a forklift is in a certain warehouse and what operation it is performing. By configuring multiple forklifts, the forklifts can be used to perform various tasks in the efficient material feeding method, such as handling and dispensing larger quantities of materials. Furthermore, each forklift is equipped with an identification system that can read the first identifier number in the warehouse and transmit signals externally via a wireless module. The identification system helps ensure that the forklift can accurately locate and detect bucket movements. The second displays intelligently direct the driver to perform the required tasks and provide early warnings. The error-proofing control system also includes multiple feeders, which are responsible for receiving materials from the loader and conveying them to target equipment such as the ball mill. Each feeder is connected to a central control system, which monitors the feeder's operating status and communicates with other central control systems. This ensures that each central control system is aware of the information of any loader and can guide any loader to feed the appropriate feeders that need material in its bucket. This allows the loader's material feeding operation to be performed efficiently and accurately, while minimizing errors and the number of times materials need to be scooped and returned to the hopper.

[0070] A third aspect of this application discloses a storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computer's processor, cause the computer to perform the method described in any of the above embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0075] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0076] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0077] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, a high-efficiency feeding and dispensing method for a feeder, a forklift error prevention control system, and a storage medium.

[0078] Example 1

[0079] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first aspect of this application discloses a high-efficiency feeding and dispensing method for a feeder and a method for preventing errors by a loader, comprising the following steps:

[0080] S1. Match the batching information of multiple ball mills with multiple feeders, and transmit the batching requirements of multiple feeders to multiple forklifts;

[0081] S2. By controlling one of the forklifts to select at least one material required by one of the feeders, the other forklifts can only select other materials required by the feeder or materials required by other feeders;

[0082] S3. The forklift retrieves the required materials from the raw material silo, and the forklift information is matched with the material information while the forklift is retrieving the materials. The central control system uses a wireless data transmission module to display the feeder numbers and corresponding weights of the required raw materials, as well as the total cumulative weight, on the second display screen on the forklift for the driver's reference.

[0083] S4. The loader moves to the feeder. The central control system obtains the feeder information read by the identification system on the loader. Based on the matching result between the type of material in the bucket and the feeder's formula requirements, the system controls the first display screen corresponding to the feeder to display the feeder's requirement information for the material in the loader.

[0084] S5. During the feeding process of the loader, according to the matching result between the feeding weight and the formula requirements of the feeder, control the loader to continue feeding, or scoop up the excess material in the feeder bucket, and control the feeder's conveyor belt to transport the material to the ball mill.

[0085] S6. Determine if there is any remaining material inside the loader;

[0086] S7. If there is residual material in the loader, repeat steps S4 and S5. If there is no residual material in the loader, and the material required by the feeder has not been added to the required weight, repeat steps S3, S4, S5 and S6. If the material required by the feeder has been added to the required weight, repeat steps S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6.

[0087] This application discloses an efficient feeding and dispensing method for a feeder. By matching the batching information of the ball mill with the feeder and transmitting the batching requirements to the loader, the method integrates the batching information between multiple ball mills and multiple feeders. This enables precise transmission of batching requirements and ensures that multiple loaders receive timely commands from the central control system. Furthermore, the systematic matching of batching information reduces information errors caused by manual recording and transmission. When the loader retrieves the required material from the raw material bin, matching the loader information with the material information ensures accurate material retrieval and avoids misoperation during material retrieval. After the loader retrieves the required material and moves it to the feeder, identifying the loader and feeder information allows the correct material to be fed to the appropriate feeder. The loader can also partially or completely feed remaining material to other feeders based on their needs, reducing the workload of the loader's back-and-forth movements. Under the action of the feeder, the material is transported to the ball mill. The system determines whether the material required by the feeder matches the material on the loader, thus ensuring accurate batching. Furthermore, it dynamically informs the feeder of its batching needs based on the matching result, or transmits the result to a second display screen on the loader via a transmission signal. This allows the loader operator to promptly obtain the material requirements of each feeder. If too much material is added to a feeder, the loader uses its bucket to scoop up the material from the feeder's hopper, ensuring correct batching. Further, by determining if there is residual material in the loader, and based on the remaining material and the instructions on the second display screen, it decides whether to scoop up material again, continue feeding other feeders, or return the loader to the hopper. This effectively manages and utilizes the remaining material, significantly reducing the number of times the loader returns to the raw material hopper, effectively improving batching efficiency and reducing the workload of the loader returning to the raw material hopper for retrieval and unloading.

[0088] Furthermore, when there is no material remaining in the forklift, and the material required by the feeder has not been added to the required weight, the forklift continues to be controlled to scoop up the required material from the raw material bin, and then the subsequent steps are repeated; when the material required by the feeder has been added to its required weight, other materials required by the feeder can be selected again through the second display screen, and then the subsequent steps are repeated.

[0089] In some specific embodiments, the efficient feeding and dispensing method of the feeder disclosed in this application can be applied in a ceramic raw material workshop. The efficient feeding and dispensing method of the feeder can be stored in a storage medium as computer-readable instructions. When the computer-readable instructions are executed by the processor of a computer, the efficient feeding and dispensing method of the feeder disclosed in this application can be executed.

[0090] Because the efficient feeding and dispensing method of the feeder disclosed in this application can effectively improve the batching efficiency, the batching workshop can make more efficient use of off-peak electricity hours for production, thereby increasing output and reducing operating costs. Moreover, during this period, the power supply is relatively abundant and the electricity price is low, which helps to reduce production costs. In some specific embodiments, when the forklift moves to the feeder, the central control system obtains the information from the feeder identifier read by the identification system on the forklift and controls the display screen on the forklift to display the batching requirements. Specifically, the display system of the forklift can display information such as the weight and type of materials required by the feeder. Furthermore, the display screen of the feeder can also display information such as the weight and type of materials required by it, making it convenient for the forklift driver to understand the information that needs to be fed to each feeder, thereby improving the accuracy of information and the accuracy of feeding.

[0091] It should be noted that the efficient feeding and dispensing method of the feeder disclosed in this application can also be applied to raw material processing workshops in other industries according to actual needs.

[0092] This system allows one loader to select at least one material required by a specific feeder, while other loaders can only select other materials required by that feeder or materials required by other feeders. This enables loader drivers to bid for orders; one driver selects a specific material from a feeder's formula on their loader's dedicated computer, and other loaders can only select other materials or materials from other feeders. During material delivery, statistics can be based on the quantity of material hauled by each loader driver, or both by driver and by material type. This implements a "more work, more pay" incentive mechanism, increasing loader driver motivation and efficiency. It also reduces manpower and vehicles, lowers production costs, reduces the number of vehicles traveling back and forth, and improves safety.

[0093] In some specific implementations, when the loader moves to the feeder, the central control system obtains the feeder number information read by the loader through its onboard identification system, and controls the first display screen corresponding to the feeder to display information such as the weight and type of the required material. This allows the loader driver to re-verify the information that needs to be fed to the feeder, thereby improving the accuracy of the information and the accuracy of the feeding.

[0094] like Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the specific process of step S1 as follows:

[0095] S11. The batching information of multiple ball mills is transmitted to the first display screen corresponding to multiple feeders respectively. The batching information is displayed on the first display screen. The batching information includes at least one of the following: formula name, date, ball mill number, hopper name, material name, weight, and allowable deviation.

[0096] S12. Transmit the material feeding requirements of multiple feeders to the second display screen on the loader.

[0097] The system includes a first display screen positioned diagonally above the feeder. This screen displays the batching information for the ball mill, which includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: formula name, date, ball mill number, hopper name, material name, weight, and allowable deviation. This helps the operator precisely control the type and quantity of materials batched each time, reducing batching errors, improving batching accuracy, reducing reliance on manual records and paper documents, ensuring strict adherence to the process formula, and improving work efficiency.

[0098] Furthermore, the batching requirements are directly transmitted to the second display screen on the loader, allowing each loader driver to understand the batching needs of each feeder in real time. This allows two or more loaders to batch materials for a single feeder, facilitating the fastest possible delivery of materials to a ball mill. In some specific application scenarios, since multiple feeders sometimes use the same formula, or even if not the same formula, most of the raw materials will be the same. Based on the prompts on the second display screen inside the loader, the remaining material in the bucket can be added to all other feeders that need that material, thereby reducing the number of times the material needs to be returned to the hopper and shoveled, greatly improving batching efficiency.

[0099] Specifically, the first display screen is an LED display screen; the second display screen is an LCD display screen or a touch screen all-in-one computer.

[0100] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that S4 specifically includes the following steps:

[0101] Based on the matching status of the material required by the feeder with the material on the loader, a first message is displayed on the first display screen corresponding to the feeder. This first message serves as a notification of a feeding error. By directly displaying the notification on the first display screen, the driver can immediately know whether the feeding is correct, thus avoiding incorrect feeding due to human negligence or misjudgment and improving the accuracy of feeding. Moreover, by introducing the function of automatic judgment and display of notification information, the feeding equipment has a higher level of intelligence. This improvement optimizes the feeding process, enabling the loader to complete the feeding task more efficiently and improving production efficiency.

[0102] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the following steps in S5:

[0103] The difference between the weight of the material fed into the feeder by the loader and the required material is calculated. When the difference is greater than the allowable deviation, a second message is displayed on the second display on the loader. The second message is used to indicate whether there is too much or too little material. At the same time, the first display screen corresponding to the feeder stops updating other required material information and only displays the current required material information. If the amount exceeds the allowable deviation value, the system controls the feeder to issue an alarm signal and stop the feeder from feeding material to the ball mill.

[0104] In calculating the difference between the weight of the material fed into the feeder by the loader and the feeder's feeding requirements, if the difference exceeds the allowable deviation, the first display corresponding to the feeder will indicate that there is too much or too little material being fed. The first display will stop updating other information and only show the currently required material information to ensure that the driver adds the correct amount of material. Therefore, the feeder's efficient feeding, delivery, and loader error prevention control system of this application can achieve intelligent weighing in actual workshop feeding applications, reducing the need for weighing personnel, thereby effectively saving human resources and reducing production costs.

[0105] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the specific process of step S3 as follows:

[0106] S31. Install multiple first identifiers at the top of the entrance to the raw material warehouse or enclose multiple areas above the warehouse with multiple first identifiers;

[0107] S32. Move the loader to the warehouse. The loader's identification system can read the first identifier number of the hopper and send the read identifier number to the central control system.

[0108] S33. Assign different addresses to the identification system on the loader. The central control system can receive the identification system on the loader, identify different addresses to distinguish different loaders, and match the loader with the material it picks up.

[0109] In detail, the first identifier uses an electronic tag, the identification system uses an RFID card reader, the wireless module uses a wireless transmission module, and the second display screen uses an LCD screen or a touch screen all-in-one computer.

[0110] By installing multiple primary identifiers within the warehouse, the central control system can accurately identify the locations of different silos. Furthermore, when a forklift enters a silo, the forklift identification system reads the number of the primary identifier in the warehouse and transmits this number to the central control system via a wireless module. This allows the central control system to determine which silo the forklift has entered.

[0111] Furthermore, each forklift's identification system is assigned a different address, enabling the central control system to accurately identify different forklifts and quickly match them with the materials they have picked up. This facilitates a fast and accurate batching process. This application achieves accurate identification, rapid matching, and intelligent management of the forklift batching process by installing first and second identifiers above the hopper and feeder, respectively, installing an identification system on the forklift, and forming a network for collaborative operation via a wireless module and central control system. The timely command from a second screen on the forklift further enhances efficiency, accuracy, and safety in the batching process, reduces errors, achieves efficient batching and feeding, improves the level of intelligence, and saves manpower while reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0112] Specifically, the first and second identifiers use electronic tags, and the identification system uses an RFID reader. In this way, the forklift's identification system can identify different silo numbers by scanning the RFID tags in the warehouse.

[0113] like Figure 1 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: after S6, there are the following steps:

[0114] When it is determined that there is residual material in the loader's bucket, and the loader moves directly to a different raw material bin to collect the remaining material, the second display screen on the loader shows a fourth message. This fourth message indicates that the loader has not returned to the initial raw material bin to empty it. By detecting the bucket angle signal when feeding material near the feeder, the system determines whether there is residual material in the bucket and displays the fourth message when the loader moves directly to a different bin, reminding the driver that the loader has not returned to the initial bin to empty it. This effectively prevents loader violations and ensures the accuracy and precision of material batching.

[0115] In some other embodiments, the following steps are added after S6:

[0116] By identifying the movement of the loader's bucket, it can determine whether the loader has scooped up waste material that has spilled onto the ground from the feeder or removed waste material from the road surface. If the loader fails to deliver the waste to the waste bin, a fifth message will be displayed on the primary display screen corresponding to any feeder it has visited, indicating that the loader has not emptied the waste bin. This allows for timely reminders to the driver of any violations, preventing negligence that could lead to improper formulation execution and thus improving the accuracy of the batching process.

[0117] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the specific steps in S5, based on the matching result between the feeding weight and the feeder's formula requirements, are as follows:

[0118] If the material scooped up by the loader is not among the remaining required materials in the current feeder formula, the sixth message will be displayed. The sixth message is used to indicate an error that the material on the loader does not match the required material. The central control system can determine whether the loader is forcibly adding problematic material into the feeder by detecting the loader's movement and reading the weight change of the feeder.

[0119] If the forklift forcibly adds problematic raw materials into the feeder, the central control system will immediately lock the feeder and record the relevant information;

[0120] Once the central control system obtains the unlocking information and the loader scoops out the same weight of material, it records the relevant unlocking password information, allowing the feeder to continue feeding.

[0121] Specifically, the sixth piece of information is displayed in real time on the loader's second display screen. Operators can immediately know that the raw material being scooped does not match the current feeder formula, allowing for timely correction and ensuring accurate batching. This sixth piece of information effectively prevents incorrect raw materials from being added to the feeder, avoiding batching errors caused by material mismatch and ensuring smooth production.

[0122] Furthermore, by monitoring the loader's operation in real time through the central control system, the standardization of loader operation can be ensured, driver violations can be prevented, and the safety and standardization of the production process can be improved. Moreover, the system can promptly detect whether the loader is forcibly adding problematic materials, respond quickly, and take measures to reduce production accidents and material waste caused by violations.

[0123] Once the central control system receives the unlocking information and the forklift has removed the same weight of material, the feeder continues to dispense materials, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of each batch and guaranteeing the quality of the produced products.

[0124] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the following steps for the high-efficiency feeding and dispensing method of the feeder:

[0125] During the feeding process, the weight of the remaining material in the feeder hopper is identified, and feeding stops when the remaining material in the feeder hopper is lower than the preset value.

[0126] By identifying the weight of the remaining material in the feeder hopper, precise monitoring and control of the remaining material are achieved, ensuring that the amount of remaining material in the hopper remains within an appropriate range. Feeding stops when the remaining material in the hopper falls below a preset value, effectively preventing leakage or difficulty in venting materials with high moisture content due to insufficient material in the hopper. In some specific embodiments, when the remaining material contains mud or sand with high moisture content, it easily flows out of the feeder automatically. By controlling the amount of remaining material in the hopper within an appropriate range, ensuring that the amount of remaining material in the hopper is always greater than or equal to the preset value, the feeder outlet and the gaps around the bottom of the feeder hopper are always blocked by remaining material. This prevents the added material from easily flowing out directly from the outlet or the gaps at the bottom of the hopper, thereby improving operational reliability and ensuring the accuracy of feeding.

[0127] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the specific process of step S4 as follows:

[0128] S41. Install a second identifier on the feeder. The central control system reads the identifier number of the feeder through the loader identification system, thereby identifying the feeder.

[0129] S42. When the central control system detects the arrival of the loader, it immediately and automatically stops the feeding action of the feeder. After the feeder weight stabilizes for a preset time, the feeding indicator light is turned on.

[0130] S43. When the loader is detected to have left, the central control system controls the feeder to start feeding, using the gap when the loader leaves to feed the ball.

[0131] In step S4, an identifier installed above the feeder enables automated identification and control of the feeder number, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation level of the production process. The central control system can promptly detect the arrival of the forklift, immediately stopping the feeder's material feeding and allowing the forklift to add material, reducing operator workload and improving operational efficiency. When the forklift arrives, the feeder immediately stops feeding, allowing the feeder weight to stabilize for 2 seconds, ensuring the accuracy of the added material weight. Furthermore, the feeder simultaneously feeds and dispenses material, keeping the raw material level in the feeder consistently low, effectively reducing the feeder's load and significantly decreasing mechanical and motor malfunctions. Moreover, the feeder's automatic stop-feeding and automatic start-up functions effectively save time on forklift material feeding and feeder delivery, improving production efficiency and output, reducing costs, and enhancing production benefits.

[0132] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: after step S5, the following steps are also included:

[0133] The system only determines the final weight of the material that the loader added to the feeder after detecting that the loader has retreated.

[0134] Multiple photoelectric switches are used to detect the bucket angle, bucket height, and bucket tilt angle to monitor the loader's material shoveling and unloading actions;

[0135] Among them, the monitoring system monitors the movement of the loader's bucket. When it detects that the bucket is scooping up ground material and adding it to the feeder, the central control system will issue an alarm and lock the feeder's movement.

[0136] In this process, the weight of the material added to the feeder by the forklift is only detected after it has retracted. This improves the accuracy of the batching weight and avoids quantity errors caused by cheating. In some specific embodiments, after the forklift feeds the raw material into the feeder, the first display screen on the forklift will show "OK," and the weight of the added raw material will only be detected after the forklift has retracted. This avoids the forklift operator from erroneously adjusting the displayed weight to match the formula by pressing or lifting the feeder bucket, thus ensuring the accuracy of the batching process.

[0137] Furthermore, by monitoring the movement of the loader's bucket, any abnormalities can be detected in a timely manner, such as the bucket scooping up ground material and adding it to the feeder, ensuring the normal operation of the batching process. Once any violation by the bucket is detected, the central control system immediately issues an alarm, reminding the driver to take timely action and preventing inaccurate batching due to violations. Further, through the machine locking function, if the driver forcibly controls the loader to add ground material to the feeder, the system will lock the feeder and record the "scooping" action.

[0138] Furthermore, by monitoring the angle, height, and tilting angle of the bucket through multiple photoelectric switches, the loader's shoveling and unloading actions can be monitored, accurately determining the work performed by the loader.

[0139] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: after step S7, the following steps are also included:

[0140] When the materials in the warehouse are used up, the warehouse material information can be modified. The material information includes the names of the materials stored in the warehouse.

[0141] After completing the batching for the ball mill, print the corresponding batching sheet. The batching sheet includes the actual deviation of each material, and can also print the moisture information of each material, as well as the batching completion time.

[0142] By connecting the central control system and the weighbridge system, the inventory of each sand, stone and mud bin can be monitored in real time by combining the consumption of each material.

[0143] When materials in a warehouse are depleted and need to be replaced with another type of material, the corresponding material name in the warehouse can be changed, ensuring the accuracy and real-time nature of inventory management. Furthermore, by changing the material name, confusion and errors are avoided, guaranteeing the smooth and accurate execution of subsequent operations.

[0144] Regarding ingredient information recording, after the ball mill's ingredient batching is completed, the system can automatically print the corresponding batching sheet, recording the actual deviation of each material and the batching completion time, facilitating subsequent management and analysis. The batching sheet includes the actual deviation of each material, enabling quality traceability of the production process, timely detection and correction of problems, and improved product quality and production efficiency.

[0145] Real-time inventory monitoring: By connecting the feeder batching control system and the weighbridge system, the system enables real-time monitoring of the quantity of materials entering the warehouse. Combined with real-time consumption data for each material, the system tracks the inventory levels of each sand, stone, and mud silo. The system automatically updates inventory information, improving the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management and preventing errors and omissions caused by human error. Implementing these steps further optimizes the batching process and warehouse management, enhancing the automation level and management efficiency of the production process and providing reliable assurance for production.
