Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of automation technology, in particular to an unattended system for a bucket wheel machine. Background Art
[0002] Bucket wheel excavator generally refers to bucket wheel stacker and reclaimer, which refers to a high-efficiency loading and unloading machine used in large dry bulk cargo yards for continuous transportation that can both stack and retrieve materials. It consists of a belt conveyor arm that can pitch and swing horizontally and a bucket wheel, frame, and operating mechanism at its front end. The belt can run in both directions. When retrieving materials, the bucket wheel retrieves the materials and sends them out through the conveyor arm. When stacking materials, the goods transported by the main conveyor are thrown into the yard through the conveyor arm. It is a rail-type loading and unloading machine that uses bucket wheels to continuously retrieve materials and uses the belt conveyor on the machine to continuously stack materials. It is a special machine in the storage yard of bulk materials (bulk materials). It has evolved from bucket wheel excavators. It can form a storage yard transportation mechanization system with unloading (ship) machines, belt conveyors, and loading (car) machines. The production capacity can reach more than 10,000 tons per hour. The operation of bucket wheel stacker and reclaimer has a strong regularity and is easy to realize automation. The control methods include manual, semi-automatic, and automatic. Bucket wheel stacker and reclaimer are divided into two types according to the structure: boom type and bridge type. Some equipment only has the function of reclaiming materials, which is called bucket wheel reclaimer.
[0003] Coal stacking and reclaiming is one of the key links in the power production of thermal power plants. Bucket wheel stackers are the main equipment for coal stacking and reclaiming. At present, most of them are still operated manually. However, manual operations still have problems such as low operation accuracy, irregular operations, and low operation efficiency. With the development of unmanned control systems in recent years, this technology has also been applied to bucket wheel machines. After searching, Chinese patent technology proposes a fully automatic unattended system for bucket wheel machines in thermal power plants (CN213693949U). This patent can realize wireless control and video monitoring of bucket wheel machines in actual production. However, in actual production, bucket wheel machines cannot automatically locate and find operation entry points, and cannot operate according to actual stacking conditions. At the same time, it is impossible to know the dynamic coal stack status of the coal yard in real time, making it impossible to remotely grasp the coal stack data globally. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an unmanned bucket wheel machine system to solve the technical problem that the existing unmanned bucket wheel machine system cannot know the dynamic coal pile status of the coal yard in real time, making it impossible to remotely grasp the coal pile data globally.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] The bucket wheel machine unmanned system includes a bucket wheel machine positioning system, a coal pile detection system, an instantaneous coal flow detection system, a bucket wheel machine safety protection system, a material height detection system, a bucket wheel machine video monitoring system, a coal digital management and control system, a bucket wheel control system, a wireless communication device, a remote control system, a remote control console and a coal pile three-dimensional dynamic display system. The bucket wheel machine positioning system, the coal pile detection system, the instantaneous coal flow detection system, the material height detection system, the bucket wheel machine safety protection system and the bucket wheel machine video monitoring system are all connected to the bucket wheel control system. The bucket wheel control system is wirelessly connected to the remote control system via the wireless communication device. The remote control console, the coal digital management and control system and the coal pile three-dimensional dynamic display system are all connected to the remote control system.
[0007] Furthermore, the bucket wheel positioning system is to install a positioning device and a position calibration device on the bucket wheel to achieve precise positioning of the bucket wheel's stroke, rotation, and pitch, wherein the position accuracy is less than 10 cm, and the angle accuracy is less than 0.1 degrees. The trolley travel mechanism and the slewing mechanism are positioned using Gray busbars, and the pitch is positioned using a pitch angle sensor. Each bucket wheel trolley travel mechanism is equipped with a set of Gray busbar positioning devices, and the slewing mechanism is equipped with a set of Gray busbar positioning devices. RFID electronic tags are used for stroke and rotation positioning calibration. An RFID calibration tag is installed every 5 meters to achieve calibration of several points. The Gray busbar positioning device includes an address encoder, an antenna box, a Gray busbar and a decoder. The travel mechanism and the slewing mechanism use an RFID non-contact address code scanning calibration device. Two sets of inclination sensor positioning devices are installed on the pitch mechanism of each bucket wheel cantilever to achieve the pitch positioning of the bucket wheel boom and ensure the safety of equipment positioning.
[0008] Furthermore, the coal pile detection system is to install two sets of laser scanning devices at the front end of the cantilever of each bucket wheel machine, and one set of laser scanning device is installed at the top of the bucket wheel machine. The coal pile contour is scanned in real time during the operation of the bucket wheel machine, so as to realize the real-time update of the three-dimensional contour of the current operating coal pile, and provide real-time three-dimensional data basis for the next stacking or retrieving task of the stacker and reclaimer. The scanning device has the function of automatic edge detection of material picking. When picking up material to the edge of the coal pile, it automatically rotates in the opposite direction to increase the coal picking efficiency. When three-dimensional modeling is performed, the temperature of the coal pile needs to be detected at the same time and uploaded to the system to display the coal pile situation in real time.
[0009] Furthermore, the instantaneous coal flow detection system is to add a set of laser scanning devices on the cantilever belt of the bucket wheel machine to realize real-time coal flow detection during the material taking process, which is used as the constant flow control adjustment parameter for coal taking. When the stacking and taking task is completed, the scanner will stop only when it detects that there is no material on the cantilever belt. The instantaneous coal flow detection system should use high-precision laser scanning equipment with an absolute error of less than 5% in measurement accuracy. At the high-incidence locations of coal taking and unloading of the bucket wheel machine, a set of coal flow scanning devices is added above the belt behind the coal blocking point. Through real-time flow monitoring, coal blockage can be discovered in time and an alarm prompt can be given;
[0010] The cantilever belt coal flow scanning device can realize the real-time instantaneous material flow and total amount statistics function of the cantilever belt stacking and material taking process, and at the same time realize the belt deviation and belt overload alarm function. The cantilever belt coal flow scanning data is linked with the automatic control of coal taking and coal stacking to realize constant flow control in the stacking and material taking process.
[0011] Furthermore, the material height detection system is a radar material level detection device installed at the cantilever head of each bucket wheel machine, which is used to detect the material height of the coal pile and participate in the material height control during fully automatic stacking. The radar material level device has an automatic balancing function, which can realize the real-time monitoring of the material pile height below the drop port. The material height detection device is linked to the stacking safety protection function, which can play a protective role during the bucket wheel machine's on-site, remote manual and remote automatic processes, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the bucket wheel machine.
[0012] Furthermore, the coal stack 3D dynamic display system uses the coal stack scanning devices on the left and right sides and the top of the cantilever to build a 3D model of the coal stack in real time when the bucket wheel machine is working. The unattended control system is combined with the coal conveying program control to build a full range of real-time 3D model of the coal yard, which truly and dynamically reflects the working conditions of the bucket wheel machine in the coal yard and the coal storage conditions in the coal yard.
[0013] The three-dimensional dynamic display system of coal piles displays the spatial distribution of the coal yard and the operation dynamics of the bucket wheel machine. The operation dynamics include the bucket wheel machine animation model that displays the current operation area, material layer height, operation direction, movement trajectory, etc. in real time, which keeps consistent with the on-site operation status. The operator can observe the current operation status of the bucket wheel machine from several perspectives.
[0014] The display of the 3D model of the coal stack is synchronized with the actual changes of the coal stack in the stockpile. The real-time 3D model supports a model update frequency of 1Hz. The operator can view the coal storage information of the corresponding coal stack on the 3D model. The coal storage information includes the ID, coal type, storage time, starting position and ending position information of the coal stack. The corresponding coordinate data can be queried at any point on the 3D model of the coal stack. The 3D model of the coal stack should truly reflect the distribution, length and stack height of the coal stack on site, and show the stratification of the coal stack through the depth of color or the combination of several colors;
[0015] The operator can freely translate, rotate, and scale the 3D model of the coal pile in the system through the mouse and observe it from several angles. The 3D model data of the coal pile is stored in the modeling data server and has a playback function, which can perform three-dimensional dynamic playback of the bucket wheel excavator operation status at any time period within a year.
[0016] Furthermore, the bucket wheel machine safety protection system includes
[0017] Safety emergency stop: The safety emergency stop device is divided into soft emergency stop and emergency stop. For soft emergency stop, an emergency stop button should be set on the upper computer screen of the centralized control center, and the 400V power supply should be turned on when the machine is stopped. For emergency stop, a corresponding emergency stop button should be set on the operating table of the centralized control center, and the 400V power supply should be turned on when the machine is stopped. The emergency stop button should be connected by a cable from the operating table to the ground junction box of the large machine, and directly connected to the bucket wheel excavator;
[0018] Pedestrian collision avoidance: Pedestrian collision avoidance is to install ultrasonic sensors on both sides of the bucket wheel machine's travel track to measure the front and rear distance during the bucket wheel machine's travel to prevent collisions between personnel or equipment. The ultrasonic sensor signal is connected to the PLC control system to achieve interlocking protection for the bucket wheel machine as a whole.
[0019] Cantilever anti-collision: Cantilever anti-collision is to install 2 sets of cantilever anti-collision laser scanners on both sides of the cantilever, which are used for the cantilever rotation and swinging of the bucket wheel machine during normal operation control to prevent collision with the stockpile or other equipment during rotation. The bucket wheel machine detects surrounding obstacles in real time during operation. When a fixed distance is reached, the host computer issues an early warning. When the limit value is reached, it automatically stops rotating and provides an alarm. After manual confirmation, it automatically resumes operation. At the same time, the existing mechanical anti-collision devices on both sides of the bucket wheel machine cantilever are used. When the anti-collision limit is activated, it automatically stops rotating and provides an alarm. The operation can be continued only after manual confirmation.
[0020] Software protection: Software protection uses the data from the scanning device installed on the bucket wheel machine, combined with the overall three-dimensional size and movement of the bucket wheel machine, to realize a safe anti-collision protection model for the bucket wheel machine. The anti-collision protection model detects in real time during the movement of the bucket wheel machine, predicts collision risks in advance, and processes dangerous information in a timely manner.
[0021] Furthermore, the bucket wheel control system adds an unmanned control cabinet to each bucket wheel machine, which is used for power supply and communication of the newly added equipment on the bucket wheel machine and unmanned control of the bucket wheel machine.
[0022] Furthermore, the coal digital management and control system includes
[0023] Three-dimensional coal yard management: The coal yard is divided into zones according to the actual situation, which serves as the basis for accurate positioning of coal management. Coal is piled in zones and blended in layers according to different types and qualities of coal. The coal yard provides coal storage warning functions, including warnings of coal storage expiration, the number of days that coal can be stored, and the inventory of each type of coal, to ensure that the coal yard management work is carried out in an orderly manner. The three-dimensional coal counting system is completed through laser measurement and control equipment, and the volume measurement of the measured objects is realized through three-dimensional modeling and analytical calculation;
[0024] Coal admission management: Record the admission and stacking situation according to the coal type information, generate a three-dimensional schematic diagram, provide the functions of zooming in, zooming out, and rotating the coal storage diagram, and visually display the current coal storage status. At the same time, through the coal yard layout interface, display the graphic changes of the corresponding area of the coal yard after each stacker-reclaimer operation, and understand the current actual coal consumption and remaining coal storage in real time;
[0025] Coal yard inventory management: including the content of inventory entry and query, a 3D dynamic laser scanning system is established based on the laser scanner, and the real-time 3D modeling of the coal yard is realized by controlling the rotation and real-time operation of the 3D dynamic laser scanner. The 3D dynamic laser scanning system is the basis for automatic stacking and taking operation control to guide bucket wheel machine operation, unmanned operation, and automatic coal stacking, and realizes the 3D display of coal stacking and coal type stratification and partitioning. The coal yard needs to be displayed in layers according to the type and batch of coal, distinguished by different colors, and associated with the coal type and batch related coal quality information, and displayed on the 3D model. The network construction algorithm is used to reconstruct the triangulated network of the 3D point data on all sections. When the scanning unit enters the next scanning cycle, it can automatically update the data of the changed part of the coal yard. The updated data needs to change the 3D model time label. The 3D graphics can support rotation, scaling, and translation operations. According to the characteristics of the incoming coal, the coal yard is planned and a unified coordinate system is established according to certain planning principles. The scanned 3D model can automatically calculate the coal storage volume in each partition according to the planning principles;
[0026] Coal yard zoning management: According to the needs of power plant coal yard management, the coal yard can be divided into several areas, and the quantity, quality data and storage time of stacking, taking and storage in different areas of the coal yard can be displayed in a three-dimensional dynamic way according to the types or comprehensive forms of coal quality, region, and mining points. The coal yard is divided into zones and piles for management, and an interface is established with the metering system of the entry and furnace system to realize the linkage of metering data of stacking and taking materials, identify the address of stacking and taking coal, and the address of taking coal is the identification of the divided area, correctly collect the relevant data of stacking, taking and storing coal from the corresponding area, and use three-dimensional graphics to comprehensively and intuitively display the coal yard status, consumption, storage, quantity, quality and price information. According to the set stacking principles and the coal type, coal quality and historical coal quality signed by the coal-supplying unit, guide the coal to be stacked in the designated area.
[0027] The present invention has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

During the stacking and reclaiming process, the original three-dimensional data of the pile surface is obtained in real time. The original data needs to be filtered and streamlined. The three-dimensional image of the pile is reconstructed in real time based on the processed three-dimensional data to display the real-time changes of the pile.
