[0050] Figure 3 A structural block diagram of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a chute transfer device, wherein the chute transfer device includes a self-moving tail of a belt conveyor, and the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor includes a connected belt frame and a body. The control method may include:

[0053] 101. Acquire first three-dimensional point cloud data of the outline of the body;

[0054] 102. Determine the running posture of the main body relative to the coal wall of the chute according to the first three-dimensional point cloud data;

[0055] 103. When the overlap between the running posture and the preset posture is less than a first preset value, control the body to move to the preset posture; wherein, in the preset posture, the angle between the side wall of the body and the coal wall of the chute is less than or equal to a second preset value.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, a first three-dimensional point cloud data of the main body contour of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor can be obtained by a structured light imaging device, such as a structured light three-dimensional stereo imaging camera. Specifically, the structured light three-dimensional stereo imaging camera can use line laser assisted positioning to obtain the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the main body, thereby forming the first three-dimensional point cloud data of the main body contour. Based on the first three-dimensional point cloud data, the running posture of the main body relative to the coal wall of the chute can be determined.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second preset value can be zero or a value close to zero, that is, in the preset posture, the body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor is almost parallel to the coal wall of the chute, and the body can realize the smooth transfer of materials in the preset posture.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset value may be a degree of overlap at which the running posture of the body and the preset posture coincide or nearly coincide, and under this degree of overlap, the body may be in the preset posture. When the degree of overlap between the running posture of the body determined according to the first three-dimensional point cloud data and the preset posture is less than the first preset value, the body is controlled to move to the preset posture, thereby realizing automatic closed-loop adjustment of the running posture of the belt conveyor self-moving tail.

[0059] The control method of the chute transfer equipment provided in the embodiment of the present invention obtains the first three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the main body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor; determines the running posture of the main body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor relative to the coal wall of the chute according to the first three-dimensional point cloud data; when the overlap between the running posture and the preset posture is less than the first preset value, controls the main body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor to move to the preset posture; wherein, in the preset posture, the angle between the side wall of the main body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor and the coal wall of the chute is less than the second preset value, thereby realizing automatic closed-loop adjustment of the running posture of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor, and no longer needs to rely on the operator to manually control the posture, thus avoiding manpower waste, improving the adjustment efficiency of the equipment in the chute, and reducing the safety risk of the operator.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the body may include a head portion and a tail portion arranged along its moving direction; step 102 may specifically include:

[0061] Determine, according to the first three-dimensional point cloud data, a first distance and a second distance of the machine head and the machine tail relative to the coal wall of the chute;

[0062] When the difference between the first distance and the second distance is greater than the third preset value, it is determined that the degree of overlap between the running posture of the body and the preset posture is less than the first preset value; when the difference between the first distance and the second distance is less than or equal to the third preset value, it is determined that the degree of overlap between the running posture of the body and the preset posture is greater than or equal to the first preset value.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the first distance and the second distance of the head and the tail of the machine relative to the coal wall of the chute can be calculated respectively according to the first three-dimensional point cloud data. It can be understood that if the first distance and the second distance are equal or the difference between the two is within the allowable range, it can be explained that the main body of the belt conveyor self-moving tail is parallel to the coal wall of the chute.

[0064] Among them, the third preset value can be zero or an allowable range of the difference between the first distance and the second distance, that is, when the difference between the first distance and the second distance is less than or equal to the third preset value, the body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor can be parallel to the coal wall of the chute, and the body can be in a preset posture at this time. At this time, there is no need to adjust the running posture of the body; when the difference between the first distance and the second distance is greater than the first preset value, the body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor cannot be parallel to the coal wall of the chute, and the body is not in the preset posture at this time, and the running posture of the body needs to be adjusted.

[0065] It can be understood that when the body is in a preset posture, the distances between the two sides of the body and the coal wall of the chute may be equal or unequal.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first three-dimensional point cloud data may include chute coal wall point cloud data and main body side wall point cloud data; based on the first three-dimensional point cloud data, the first distance and the second distance of the head and the tail of the machine relative to the chute coal wall are respectively determined, which may specifically include: fitting the chute coal wall point cloud data into chute coal wall line segments; fitting the main body side wall point cloud data into main body side wall line segments; determining the first distance and the second distance based on the chute coal wall line segments and the main body side wall line segments.

[0067] The chute coal wall line segment and the body side wall line segment may be part of the chute coal wall surface and part of the body side wall surface that can be photographed by the structured light three-dimensional stereo imaging camera, respectively. After fitting the chute coal wall line segment and the body side wall line segment, the first distance and the second distance may be calculated based on the chute coal wall line segment and the body side wall line segment. Specifically, the chute coal wall line segment and the body side wall line segment may be subtracted to obtain the first distance and the second distance.

[0068] Since the coal wall of the chute is usually uneven, in order to improve the accuracy of the calculation results and the convenience of calculation, the maximum and minimum values ​​in the point cloud data of the chute coal wall can be removed, and then the remaining data can be averaged to fit the chute coal wall line segments; similarly, since the side wall of the main body may be uneven, in order to improve the accuracy of the calculation results and the convenience of calculation, the maximum and minimum values ​​in the point cloud data of the side wall of the main body can be removed, and then the remaining data can be averaged to fit the side wall line segments.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, a belt is arranged on the belt frame, and the control method of the chute transfer equipment may further include: obtaining second three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the belt; determining a first moving direction of the belt according to the second three-dimensional point cloud data; obtaining third three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the main body in a preset posture; determining a second moving direction of the main body according to the third three-dimensional point cloud data; and when the first moving direction and the second moving direction are inconsistent, controlling the moving direction of the main body to be consistent with the first moving direction.

[0070] When the belt conveyor's self-moving tail is in operation, the belt is the part that guides its moving direction. Therefore, first, the first moving direction of the belt is determined based on the second three-dimensional point cloud data of the belt contour obtained, and then the second moving direction of the body is determined based on the third three-dimensional point cloud data of the body contour obtained, and it is judged whether the first moving direction and the second moving direction are consistent. If the two are inconsistent, the movement of the body is controlled to make the moving direction of the body consistent with the first moving direction, so that the body can move smoothly in the chute under the guidance of the belt frame, thereby realizing the smooth transfer of materials.

[0071] Among them, a first structured light 3D stereo imaging camera and a second structured light 3D stereo imaging camera can be set to obtain the second 3D point cloud data and the third 3D point cloud data respectively. Specifically, the first structured light 3D stereo imaging camera can be set at the position where the belt frame and the body are connected to obtain the second 3D point cloud data; the second structured light 3D stereo imaging camera can be set on the transfer machine to obtain the third 3D point cloud data of the body in a preset posture.

[0072] Among them, there are many ways to determine the first moving direction of the belt according to the second three-dimensional point cloud data. For example, the midpoint of the belt, a point on one side of the midpoint, and a point at the connection between the belt frame and the body on the other side of the midpoint can be taken, and a straight line can be formed through these three points. There is a first angle between the straight line and the central axis of the first structured light three-dimensional stereo imaging camera, and the first angle corresponds to the first moving direction; similarly, the second moving direction of the body can be determined according to the third three-dimensional point cloud data, which can be specifically taken as the midpoint of the body, a point on one side of the midpoint, and a point on the other side of the midpoint. A straight line has a second angle between the straight line and the central axis of the second structured light three-dimensional stereo imaging camera, and the second angle corresponds to the second moving direction. If the angles of the first angle and the second angle are equal or the difference between the two is within the allowable range, it means that the moving direction of the body is consistent with the first moving direction of the belt; if the angles of the first angle and the second angle are not equal and the difference between the two is not within the allowable range, it means that the moving direction of the body is inconsistent with the first moving direction of the belt. At this time, the movement of the body can be controlled so that the moving direction of the body is consistent with the first moving direction.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the third three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the main body is obtained in the preset posture. That is to say, after the main body is adjusted to the preset posture, the running direction of the main body can be adjusted. Compared with adjusting the direction of the main body in the offset state, the direction of the main body in the preset posture is easier to adjust, and during the adjustment process, the main body is not prone to abnormal conditions such as collision with the coal wall of the chute.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the chute transfer equipment may further include: obtaining fourth three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the belt frame, the fourth three-dimensional point cloud data including belt frame edge point cloud data and belt point cloud data; determining the relative position relationship between the belt frame and the belt according to the belt frame edge point cloud data and the belt point cloud data; when the relative position relationship is not parallel, controlling the movement of the main body to make the belt frame and the belt parallel to each other.

[0075] If the belt is not parallel to the belt rack, the belt is in a state of deviation, and the belt in the state of deviation is easily damaged. In the above embodiment, by acquiring the edge point cloud data of the belt rack and the belt point cloud data, and determining the relative position relationship between the belt rack and the belt according to the edge point cloud data of the belt rack and the belt point cloud data, and judging whether the relative position relationship is parallel to each other, if the relative position relationship is not parallel, controlling the movement of the body to make the belt rack and the belt parallel to each other, thereby realizing the autonomous closed-loop adjustment of the relative position of the belt rack and the belt, avoiding the deviation of the belt, and thus avoiding the damage of the belt.

[0076] It can be understood that in the above embodiment, when the relative position relationship is not parallel, the body is controlled to move so that the belt rack and the belt are parallel to each other. The mutual parallel here can include the edge of the belt rack and the belt being parallel to each other, and can also include an angle between the two, but the angle of the angle is within the allowable range, that is, when the belt deviates from the belt rack within the allowable range, the belt is not easily damaged. Correspondingly, the non-parallel here means that the angle between the edge of the belt rack and the belt exceeds the allowable range, and the belt is easily damaged.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, the belt frame includes a first point and a second point arranged at intervals along its extension direction; the relative position relationship between the belt frame and the belt is determined based on the belt frame edge point cloud data and the belt point cloud data, which may specifically include: determining the third distance between the first point and the belt, and the fourth distance between the second point and the belt based on the belt frame edge point cloud data and the belt point cloud data; when the difference between the third distance and the fourth distance is greater than a third preset value, determining that the relative position relationship is non-parallel.

[0078] Among them, the third preset value is the maximum value of the difference between the third distance and the fourth distance to ensure that the belt is not easily damaged. When the difference between the third distance and the fourth distance is greater than the third preset value, the edge of the belt frame and the belt are not parallel, and the belt is in a deviated state.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the chute transfer equipment may further include: when the belt is not carrying materials, obtaining fifth three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the belt; when the belt is carrying materials, obtaining sixth three-dimensional point cloud data of the overall contour of the belt and the material; and determining the flow rate of the material based on the fifth three-dimensional point cloud data and the sixth three-dimensional point cloud data.

[0080] Among them, by comparing the fifth three-dimensional point cloud data with the sixth three-dimensional point cloud data, the volume of the material can be obtained, thereby realizing functions such as material volume data calculation, real-time flow statistics and coal flow monitoring.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present invention, the running speed of the belt is adjusted according to the flow rate of the material. If the flow rate of the material is large, the running speed of the belt can be increased, otherwise, the running speed of the belt can be reduced, thereby ensuring the transfer efficiency of the material.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present invention, the chute transfer equipment may further include a three-dimensional stereo camera and a transfer machine, the transfer machine is arranged on the main body, and the three-dimensional stereo camera is arranged on the transfer machine; obtaining the first three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the main body may specifically include: obtaining an image of the main body through the three-dimensional stereo camera; and determining the first three-dimensional point cloud data based on the image.

[0083] The three-dimensional camera can be a structured light three-dimensional imaging camera, and the number of the three-dimensional camera can be two, one of which can be fixed on the transfer machine, such as the unloading port of the transfer machine, through a gate-shaped bracket to obtain the three-dimensional point cloud data of the body contour, and the other can be fixed on the connection between the belt rack and the body through a gate-shaped bracket to obtain the three-dimensional point cloud data of the belt rack and the belt contour. It can be understood that the chute transfer equipment can also include a controller electrically connected to the three-dimensional camera, which can process the three-dimensional point cloud data and control the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, infrared cameras electrically connected to the controller can be installed at the edge of the crusher above the transfer machine and at the location where the main body is connected to the belt. At the same time, the chute transfer equipment can also include an alarm module electrically connected to the controller. If a person appears within the range defined by the camera around the chute transfer equipment, such as illegally climbing over the landing section of the transfer machine, approaching the entrance of the crusher, or illegally climbing the belt conveyor, and is captured and identified by the infrared camera, the controller can control the alarm module to issue an alarm message based on the signal sent by the infrared camera to remind the person that dangerous behavior is occurring at this time.

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a control device 200 for a chute transfer equipment, the chute transfer equipment includes a self-moving tail of a belt conveyor, the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor includes a connected belt frame and a main body, the control device includes an acquisition unit 201, for acquiring first three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the main body; a determination unit 202, for determining the running posture of the main body relative to the chute coal wall according to the first three-dimensional point cloud data; a control unit 203, for controlling the main body to move to a preset posture when the overlap between the running posture and the preset posture is less than a first preset value; wherein, in the preset posture, the angle between the side wall of the main body and the chute coal wall is less than or equal to a second preset value.

[0086] The control device 200 for the chute transfer equipment provided in the embodiment of the present invention obtains the first three-dimensional point cloud data of the contour of the main body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor; determines the running posture of the main body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor relative to the coal wall of the chute based on the first three-dimensional point cloud data; and controls the main body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor to move to the preset posture when the overlap between the running posture and the preset posture is less than the first preset value; wherein, in the preset posture, the angle between the side wall of the main body of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor and the coal wall of the chute is less than the second preset value, thereby realizing automatic closed-loop adjustment of the running posture of the self-moving tail of the belt conveyor, and thus no longer needs to rely on the operator to manually control the posture, thus avoiding manpower waste, improving the adjustment efficiency of the equipment in the chute, and reducing the safety risk of the operator.

[0087] Furthermore, the determination unit 202 is specifically used to determine the first distance and the second distance of the head and the tail of the machine relative to the coal wall of the chute according to the first three-dimensional point cloud data; when the difference between the first distance and the second distance is greater than a third preset value, determine that the overlap between the running posture and the preset posture is less than the first preset value; when the difference between the first distance and the second distance is less than or equal to the third preset value, determine that the overlap between the running posture and the preset posture is greater than or equal to the first preset value.
